Phoenix VS.. UcOnOmovoc.

1t could hardly be expected thatsW au r..
town would escape the base ball fever which
is running so high the present season in all
the principal towns OF Wisconsin. TO the
end that our "na,ional game shall not be
overlooked here, the Watertown players
have organized and are playing under tie
has followed them in their games thus far
Lake Mills has snccumbed to them, and last
Wednesday, on the Central Fair Grounds,
the Oconomowoc club was made to feel
the superior proves of the Phoealx boys by
the score of 10 to 80 A correspondent Of
the Milwaukee Sentinel charges the defeat
of the Oconomowoc club to the partial rul-
ing of the Umpire, Mr. Gus McCabe, Of
this city. To charge Mr.. McCabe with
giving unfair ruling, and favoring the
Phoenix club is an unjust accusation against
this Gentleman, who rendered his decisions
in the game with the utmost fairness and
impartiality. The Oconomowoc boys have
charged that their opponents dare not play
them on their grounds in Oconomowoc. and
with another Umpire. To show whatlittle
ground there is for this kind of talk, the
Phoenix club have declared their determi-
nation to play the Oconomowoc boys on
the Oconomowoc grounds and with any
Umpire Oconomowoc may select who is
acquainted with the points of the game.
We have no other feeling than to see fair
game play between our own club and the
Oconomowocers and may the best men
win, as should always be the case, no mat
ter how some may think it ought to have
been

RObb cry.

Last Wednesday night, Sept. 9th, Mr..
Z. F.. Scion and Mr. Jas. Tyson, both of
Redwood, were robbed Of $40 at the Lin
don House, in this city. After the theatre
on the night above mentioned these gentle
men applied for lodgings at this hotel, and
were assigned to a room containing two
BEDS one of which was occupied by a
stranger. In preparing for bed Scion and
Tyson took the precaution 20 do I'D their
pants and place them under their pillows,
leaving their money in the pockets of these
garmeats. Both slept in the same bed, and
nothing occurred to disturb their slumbers
during the night. On awakening in the
morning Scion discovered his pants lying in
the middle of the floor, his pocket-book
beside them, rifed and empty, and the
stranger who had occupied the bed oppo-
site gone. The robber had also "gone
through" Tyson to the extent his pile, but
it appears to have heen done without re-
moving his pantaloons, for they were found
IN almost the exact position in which be
placed them on retiring. The stranger put
out during the night unbeknown to any
one, and was no donbt miles away before
morning. He registered himself as W. e.
Marshall, Freeport, Ills, and it is quite
probable that he was a professional at the
bust ness. m $50 m a

animal head and tail down, honest and

Dodge County Items.
JUNEAU, Sept. 18th, 1876.


DODGE COUNTY FAIR.
The 10Th Annual Fair of the Dodge
County Agricultural Society lakes place on
the Fair Grounds in the village of juneau
on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Oc-
tober 10, II and Il. No pains have been
spared TO make the Fair success. The
grounds, naturally one of the most beauti-
full pieces of land in Dodge county, have
recently been enlarged, the race track re-
laid, SO as to make it hall mile IN length,
spacious sheds for cattle erected, and other
new buildings put up for exhibitors. Sew
eral herds OF cattle and sheep from promi-
nent stock raisers of Dodge county will be
on exhibition, and there is general dspO-
sition among the people of Dodge county to
contribute to the best of their ability To
make the Fair success. The people of
juneau, and in fact of all of Dodge county,
assisted materially in making the Central
Fair a success. and there will now be an
opportunity for the people of Watertown to
recipr0cate.
The Dodge County Democrat, in Its last
issue. takes us to task together with sew
eral papers Of Dodge county, for having
criticized the action of the leaders of the
Democratic party in this county in having
selected the last day of the Fair for polit-
ical mass meeting. While we are not suf-
ficiently familier with the officers of the
Agricultural Society to know whether they
are members of the Tilden Club or not we
are quite certain that those whose names
appear on the posters, are active and earnest
Democrats At all events. we cannot see
how the Club can escape the charge that
they have taken advantage of the Fair to
get up crowd for their meeting.
The Republican County Convention of
Dodge county for nomination Of State
Senator and county officers. meets at Ju-
neau on Thursday, October II, a. o'clock.
1t is greatly to be desired that full repre-
sentation of the Republicans Of Dodge coun-
ty be present on the occasion, as other |
important political business will be trans
scted While the Republicans of Dodge |
county do not, of course, expect to elect
their ticket, they desire to nominate |
strong ticket that can command the respect |
and votes Of all men who look to fitness !
and capability for Office, rather than to
political faith.

How to Vanquish the StOmach,s
TOrmentOr.

If the Enemy OF mankind was permitted
to exert his diabolical ingenuity in the in
vention Of a new disease, he could scarcely
devise one more worthy of his genius than
dyspepsia. The dyspeptic sufferer is tor
mented by symptoms resembling those of
almost every known .malady, and is often
worried n monomanla by these ctlng
and perp!exing manifestations. A favorite
though absurd hallucination Of the victim
of chronic indigestion is that he or she has
heart disease Dyspepsia has often been pro-
nonnced incurable, but experience has
shown that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will
vanquish it, together with the constipation
and bilious arrangement which usually &C
company it. Diseases Of the kidneys and
supposed rheumatic pains are also frequent
concomltants of dyspepsia, but they, too,
succumb to the above named invaluable
corrective.
