For these reasons all the beef cattle slaugth-

Plant Gut Trees.

Watertown is already we'll provided with
shade trees which add greatly to the beauty
of our city, and call forth the admiration
OF those who visit us. But still more can
be done N the way of tree planting and we
hope to see more than the usual number OF
shade trees planted this year. In no way
can person mai k the Centennial year of
our history better than by setting out trees
for shade. and adornment. Let it be done
quite extensively with US, and in this way
observe the important era in the history of
the Nation. Below are some useful hints
on the subject:
The people of the United States spend
Fully one half OF the trees planted annually

roots, safely packed GI they are to be ship

and if the ground is not in condit ion for
immediate planting "heeled in, with care
SO that the soil comes in contact with the
roots, take my word for it, not one tree in
fifty will die. Nothing is so conducive to
the growth of tree and protecting it from
the drouth as mulching. Half-rotted ma
nure, leaves, saw dust, or something SINH
lar, may be used, and should be al least six
inches deep. tree thus treated will stand
almost any amount of drouth.

Death of an aged Citizen.

Mr.. Samuel Piper, Sen, of the town Of

dence in that town, Tuesday, April 4th,
1876, aged 80 years and days. Mr.. Piper
was father of Mr.. Samuel Piper, of lxonia,
in this county, and settled in that town
some "a years ago, removing to Dane coun-
ty over twenty years ago. where be has
since resided with his two sons Benjamn
and David. His extreme age and feeble
ness has kept him at home for some time.
He has been writer of considerable note,
and large amount of correspondence has
appeared from his pen in different papers OF
this state He was remarkable for his
hardness and industry, retaining his sound
Judgment and vigor to late period. Up
right and conscientious, his kindness and
congeniality made him friends wherever be
was known; and he has lived to see a large
posterity grow up in responsibility to honor
his name and memory. Like the patriarch
of old, he has gone to renew his youth in
brighter worlds.
TIE remains of Mr.. Piper were taken
to his old home at Ixonia for burial last
Friday, and were met at the depot here, by
large number of our old citizens, who

The People Want Proof.

There is no medicine prescribed by ply
sicians, or sold by Druggists, that carries
such evidence Of its success and superior
virtue as Boschees German Syrup for severe
Coughs, Colds settled on the breast, Con,
sumption, Or any disease of the Throat and
Lungs. A proof of that fact is that any
person afflicted, can get Sample bottle
for 10 cents and try its superior effect before
buying the regular size at IS cents. 1t has
lately been introduced in this country from
Germany, and its wonderful cures are as
tonishing everyone that use it. Three
doses will relieve any case. Try it. Sold

Stop Your Cough !!

The wonderful results and immense sale
of HALE'S COUGH CORDIAL the past
season, ought to convince the most skepti-
cal; still we are going to continue the same
liberal offer that we have made heretofore,
viz: Any person suffering with a. cold,
cough or sore throat, who will call at Fred.
J. Schroeter's Drug Store and purchase a
bottle ofHALE'S COUGH CORDIAL, use
one.half of it, and if they then conclude
that it is doing them no good, they can re-
turn the balance and receive back their
money. Who would not test this medicine
on such liberal terms? No medicine ever
sold in this vicinity that produced such
magical results. All we ask is that you
will try it.

Of Patrick Graham, contesting his eiec-
ton, was presented to court ON Tues
day Of last week. The answer con
sists of charges ofirrcgularitics, frauds,
illegal votes, etc. 1t is very long and
charges something illegal in about halt
the districts in tho county. After
ovcrruling motions to quash made by
both sides, the court appointed S. X.
Clarke, osq., commissioner to take tes-
timony in the case. The contest will
be conducted with vigor on both sides
the leading members of the bar be-
ing engaged. From intimations given
by tho court, however, the prospect is
the matter will not be permitted TO
last long, aud DECISION made as soon
as the facts can be asccrtsinod. We
hope this will be done as neither the
parties nor tho county should be put
to ,he expense of n prolonged contest.

y A REPUBLIC IN SOUTH
1ROLJNd A TAILVRHy


Governor Chamberlain, Of South
Carolina, seems TO be doing what he
can to make the government OF that
State respectable, but in laboring against
the black and tan Legislature ho en-
counters fearful odds In the election
OF Moses and Whipper as judges Of the
Circuit Court tho Legislature has fol-
lowed its natural inclinations, but tho
choice Is such as 10 shock the sense Of
decency Of the better portion of thc
people Of South Carolina, aud create
IN tho minds Of many y serious doubt
ms to whether that State is capable of
taking care Of itself, and whether 1t
should not, for time at least, have
guardian TO look after its interests.
Moses made himself notorious while in
the Legislature as one the most cor
lrupt and interruptions jobbcrs of that
very corrupt and interruptions set of
men hy courtesy termed lawmakers.
Whippcr is described ns a negro gam

and there Is no reason 10 suppose that
on the bench he would be any better
than where he has been heretofore.
With these two men Oh the bench
South Carolina will in bc worse posi-.
tion than would New York with Tweed
and Connolly as judges to control the
liberties and property Of The citizens
of that city. The simple question.for
the people Of South Carolina to con.
slider is, whether they have under their
laws and constitution any possible re.
dress. We greatly fear they have not.
II is true that Governor Chamberlain
has refused 10 commission these Judges,
but this can be but temporary relief,
for the Legislature is the body that
elects, and the issuing Of the commits
sions when the forms Of law have been
regularly complied with, Is duty
which the Governor can hardly post
pone for any length of time. South
Carolina, under its present administia-
ton, seems to be suffering the worst
form OF communism. A herd of igno-
rant and irresponsible blacks find them
selves in the majority, while the wealth
is in the hands OF the white minority.
In such case it is but the cropping out
Of the worst form Of human nature
that leads the powerful poor TO prey

Why THE CHINESE CONE OVER
The masses of the people are very
poor. 1t is with them a severe strug.
gle for existence. The average wages
of mechanics and common laborers for
n days work of l2 to IA hours is 10 to
20 cents, but Chinese mechanics skilled
in our trades are paid by foreigners
25 10 rs cents a day. The cost Of
European or American living here is
one-third less than it is in the United
States. Chinese living of the common.
est sort but the best that can be af
fordcd by the masses, doesn't exceed
on an average to Q cents day. A
wealthy Chinaman doesn't expcnd
more that s5 or SO a month for bis
food. The result is q great deal Of
destitution and suffering among the
masses; there is much begging in and
about the temples and in the streets oI
the old city there is, too, notwith
standing the terrible cruelty of pun
ishment inflicted for crime, much petty
piliering and robbery from the person
and from houses. There are many
rich Cinnamon, but they are not in.

and hoard. There is no properly or
ganized system of charity; relative.
and friends are supposed to take care
of the sick and the unfortunate. Ii Il

government agency affords relief, and
then it is only temporary. The found
