IND'oNITIEs TO HON. L. p PLA.

During the discussion OF Hon. NJ. In
scores proposed constitutional amend
mcnt. in the State House of Representa-
tivcs last Wednesday, Hon. l.. +. Platter
took the floor. lie had not proceeded in
his remarks many minutes before an eff
fort on the part of his colleagues TO an
nov and humliate him became evident
They instructed the pages TO supply him
with water. and every four or five sec
onds. page would approach him with a
tumbler full. and interrupting him. would
ask Have some water. Mr. pla,erT'
The speaker tolerated this gross insult of
tho member. and his colleagues laughed
heartily. Mr.. Platter endured the insult
a. long as he could. and then taking u
tumbler from ono of the annoying pages,
dashed its content. into the little urchin's
face. Turning to the speaker.
Inc said. that he had been
msulted beyond endurance: that the
pre-, reporters had made him the butt of
their Jokes. the object of their abuse.
Their conduct ought to exclude them
from the floor aud. hc added, "if it con-
tinues-ifI am made the target of their
utilization any longer ii treatment such
a. have received to-day continues. ]
shall be compelled to vindicate my man
hood by iuilicting personal chasti,cmcnt
upon the blackguards. whether members
of thi, House or reporter, of the press,
who indulge in it."
And this We believe to DE a very proper
determination on Mr.. Plster's part. lie

must do something to compel thi- laugh

Brutal Burglars.

A telegraphic dspa tch to the Milwaukee

tains the following:
Particulars are received here of heart
less affair which occurred on Thursday eve-
ming at the residence of an old lady by the
name of Van Redden, who resides about
half way between this place and Eagle
Soon after o'clock three masked men
called at her house and asked for drink of
water. The old lady, fearing trouble, re-
fused to open the door, when they suddenly
forced their way in, and one of them stifled
her screams by binding towel over her
mouth, while the others ransacked the
house for booty. There was consider
able quantity of money and valuables in
the house, but they only succeeded in OBJ
tanning $500 ia cash. They effected
their escape and the authorities have not
been able to trace them.

William Rabe, a bricklayer, residing in
the 1th ward, made a desperate attempt to
poison himself last Friday, by taking arsen-
ic. He called for dose of arsenic at the
drug store of F. j. Schroeder and the clerk
having handed it to him demanded his
name and asked what use be in tended max j.
ing OF the poison. He replied that .sthat
was his business and that he could now kill
himself if be wished to-" and rushed out OF
the store. The clerk called Mr.. Schroeder
who followed Rabe and finally succeeded
IN taking the arsenic away from him.
But Rabe was not to be foiled in his at
tempt at taking his life, and proc eeding to
the drug store of K. Sch ubert got another
dose of the deadly ingredient put up for
him, and, we understand, no questions,w el e
asked him, strange as it may appear. He
then started for his home and some one
passed the house found Rabe living on
the ground by the side of the fence almos t
dead from the influences of the arsenic.
He was carried into the house and DR.. w.
q. Spalding was soon summoned When
he arrived the poison had almost done its
work. Strong antidotes, however, were ad-
ministered to the patient and the effects of
the poison finally overcome. Rabe is a
married man of about 80 years of age and
has two children. His domestic relations
have always been of a pleasant character,
but he was probably led to the rash act
through hard drinking. 1t is stated
that when be obtained the poison he was
considerably under the influence of liquor.

Sacred Heart College.

The College of Our Lady of the Sacred
Heart in this city opens for the fall term
Monday of next week, September 9Th.
Among the many educational institutions
of this state none offer better advantages
for the scholar than this one, and it is we'll
entitled to receive the warm support that
has been awarded to it during its compara-
tively short career. Its location is one of
the most slightly and pleasant in the city.
1t possesses an able, and efficient corps of
teachers in whose hands the educational in
terests of the students are secure. We un-
derstand the prospect of the college for a
full attendance the present term is most
fattering.

The Ladi es and the Fair.

The efforts put forth by the ladies ad-
ded largely to the success of the Central
Wisconsin Fair last year. They must not
forget that they have the same important
part to fill at the Central Wisconsin Fair
this month and that their efforts and coun-
sci are essentially necessary to the welfare
of the exhibition. It is expected that the
fancy work placed on exhibition by the
ladies at the coming fair will be largely
in excess and far more elaborate and beau
titul than that shown last year, having had
longer time to prepare articles The Ia
dies really made splendid display last
year, and with but little effort can far out
do it at the next fair. We hope to see,
then, a ladies department. that will do
honor and credit to the sex in this part Of
the state. Articles that you might not con :
slider worthy of your own appreciation at
home will be sure to be admired by some
Que. So be sure and take everything you
can and help swell the list of contributors.

Democratic Convention.

The democracy of Jefferson County held
county convention at Jefferson next
Friday, September 81, for the purpose
of electing two Senatorial delegates to the
Democratic-Liberal-R Refor m-Taylor Conven..
tion at Milwaukee on the 9Th inst. and
nominating a candidate for County Super
intendent Of Schools. Mr.. George. w.
Sloan, of the town of Watertown, has been
mentioned as candidate before the con.
vention for County Superintendent. The
selection OF Mr.. Sloan would be an improve
ment on many of the nominations made by
the democrats in this county, and should he
be the nominee it behooves the Republicans
to bring out their strongest man in order to
beat him.

coming in from the country to paticipate
in the days enjoyment. The weather was
pleasant and all had happy time. The
voting for the gold hesded cane resulted in
the success of Rev. Father Ward, of ely
man, over his competitor, Rev. Father Nc
Guirk, of Redwood. The festivities closed
with an interesting dramatic entertain
ment in the College Hall.

Change of School Books.

The Board of Education by resolution
changed the National Readers, heretofore
used in our public schools, for Wilson's
Readers, and Warrants Biographies Tor
Guyots. Being well aware that any change
of school books, however needed it may be,
will always create good deal of dissatis-
faction and misunderstanding, the under
signed deems it his duty to explain the rea-
son of the board for making such change,
and also the manner in which the same is
to be effected. The old readers now in use
were issued a very long time ago, and have
been in use in this city about fourteen
years. They are quite antiquated, and not
adapted any Ion ger for the use of lively 60
ahead schools The new readers now
adopted, are on the contrary, series that
meet our want exactly; most Of the matter
contai ned in them, treating of Natural His
tory, and being therefore of great help in
instructing the pupil IN that very useful
branch of science. The Biographies had to
be changed, because the publishers of the old
books in use, issued a new edition, altogeth-
er different from the former issue, and MAX
ing it impossible to use the two issues to-
gether. On application, they fatty refused
to exchange the new issue for the old one,
as it would have been but fair to do. The
introduction of the new books will be as
follows: lst. Scholars who would have to
buy new books any way, will be furnished
with them at ] less than the retail price.
I'd. Scholars wishing to exchange their old
books for the new ones, will be charged
the etail price. 3d. Scholars who wish to
retain their old books, are allowed to do so,
until they are promoted to higher grade,
and would have to procure new book
anyhow I wish to state here distinctly
that no scholar having the old books, is
compelled, or even advised to exchange the
same, unless he wishes to do SO freely.

Fire ana Loss of Life.

The farm of Mr.. Andrew Carroll, one and
a half miles from Johnson's Creek, in the
town of Aztalan, was the scene of de-
structive fire accompanied with loss of life
Wednesday afternoon of last week. The
barn of Mr.. Carroll took fire from some un-
known cause. Mr.. Carol was asleep at the
time leaving no one about bat his sen Den
mis-, young man of about % years of age,
and little boy, a son of one of the neigh
bors. Dennis rushed into the burning
building to save three horses which were
inside, and this was the last seen of him
1t is thought probable that on entering the
barn one of the horses may have g kicked
him, being frantic with fright, rendering
him insensble, and that the devouring.
flames closing around him in his helpless
ness soon destroyed him. Dennis Carroll
was a young man Of excellent character
