warehouse of Mr. Charles Wood, in the
Third ward, containing large amount of
goods manufactured at his furniture estab-

be recorded as genuine cold days without
auy fear Of protest. Friday the wind blew
gale all day with the thermometer below
zero, and on Saturday morning at daylight
the mercury had run down to 81 degrees
below zero. Some cellars were not proof
against such searching and extreme cold,
and many of their contents were nipped
badly, The prospect is good for a cold
winter. Wood piles and coal bins will tell
the story before Spring.

The Presby terrain pulpit at this place has
not ye! been filled.
The wife of Phineas Parmeee died here
last week Tuesday from heart disease. The
interment took place at the Oak Grove
Cemetery yesterday.
The County Court, Judge Elwell presid
ing, commenced its regular session here last
week Monday. Several important jury
cases are to be tried, and the session will
probably continue during the present and
next week.
The Dodge Country Agricultural Society
at its annual meeting last week, elected the
following officers: President, Samuel East
man; Secretary, John R Durham; Treas
urer, Barber Randall. The reelection of
Mr.. Eastman,to whose energy and activity
is Que the success of the last annual fair.
will ensure a success for the fair next
year.
The question Of building new offices for
our county officials was postponed by the
Board of Supervisors until next June. Il
very much feared that no board will be
found courageous enough to grapple with
the question until the present uncomtorta-
BILE and almost dangerous building tumbles
down over the heads of the officials and de-
stroys valuable property.
1t would seem that the present terrible
mortality among the children in Hustisford
and vicinity from disease that battles the
skill of the local physicians, would call tor
an investigation on the part of the State
Board of Health. The disease which par
takes in great measure of diptheria, al
though more severe and resulting even
more fatally, is gradually spreading in the
neighborhood, and grave fears are enter
tanned that it will prove an epi demic
throughout the county. Many grown-up
people are also attacked.

Death OF an Aged Citizen.

Mr. William Wiggenhorn died at his res
idence in the lst ward, Tuesday morning,
December IL, 1876 at the ripe age of early
so years, having been born in Westphalia,
Prussia, April 23d, 1897. Thus another
aged citizen has gone from among us to
meet his reward in another world. Mr..
Wiggenhorn came to Watertown direct
from Germany in the year lS4s, and for
some years was landlord of the Buena Vista
House. Mr.. Wisgeuhorn was married in
1921 and his wife, Josephine, wbo has been
his partner in life for over So years, sur
wives him. Five years ago Mr.. and Mrs
Wiggenhorn celebrated their golden we'd
ding in the midst OF their children and
friends, who united in the observance of an
event SO seldom witnessed Their living
issue is Constance and Eugene, of the firm
of Wiggenhorn Brothers, the well known
tobacco dealers and cigar manufacturers,
August, Jeweler, Alexander, of Ashland,
Nebraska, Mrs. R. Diesel, of Woodstock,
H., Mrs. A Frohne, OF Berlin, Wis, and
Mrs. W. Meyer, of Ripon, Wis. Mr.. Wig
genhorn's last sickness was congestion of
the lungs, and continued two weeks, DUR
ing which time the aged parent received
unremttent care from his wife and
children, as we'll as the best medical atten-
ton. But the extreme age of the sufferer
preciuded the possibility of his recovery,
and lie finally passed away peacefully and
calmly. The funeral of the deceased will
take place from St. Henri's Cat holc church
Thursday at o clock.

The New Jersey Potato Crop.

The Trenton On. J.) Gazette says !:
There seems to be no reason to doubt
that the New Jersey potato crop will
this year be certain and total failure.
The Colorado bugs have already ap-
peared in myriads all over the State,
and are everywhere prosecuting their
destructive onslaught upon the young
potato plants. They never before ap-
peared so early as this, nor in such
countless numbers. This strange and
alarming Rocky mountain pest puts in
an appearance at the very beginning
of the potato season, and in such vast
hordes as to make it seem hopeless to
attempt tol contend with them: 1t
probably is a hopeless undertaking.
They are everywhere attacking the po-
tato plants, and even the roots and
young tubers, in swarming hosts, and
with voracious energy that is disheart
ening. We hear of their ravages in
every part of the State, and there seems
no reason to doubt that they will con-
tinue the campaign by successive broods,
all the summer.

Frozen to Death In May.

Two Swedes, crossing the Snowy
Range, Colorado, on foot. left the sum,
NIT House, in Berthoud pass, and started
down the west slope. Both carried bun
dies of blankets and provisions, eacn
pack weighing seventy-five or eighty
bounds. Two days afterward one re-
turned to the Summit House. de was
snowblind, frostbitten, and had barely
strength enough 10 walk. He reported
that his companion had frozen to death.
Soon after leaving the Summit the storm
set in, and they became bewldered, be-
numbed with cold, and lost their way.
They threw away their blankets to facili-
tate their movements, and the matches
with which they-,were provided, beng
wet, refused to ignite. A party OF men
at Summit went down the trail, or road,
and found the dead Swede. The snow
was so deep that the removal OF the BODY
seemed out of the question tbs n, 50 they
buried it temporarily under si1 feet o.

Street Car Manners In Berlin.

The following occurrence to which my
friend was an eyewitness will illustrate
the prevailing tone of German men to
women as women A young girl entered
a street car in one of the best streets in
Berlin. The car had its usual compile
ment of eighteen people, ten men and
eight women. She quietly took her
standing position. A man near her,
slapping his hand on his knee, said:
"See here, Fraulein, you may sit here. -
She drew near the ladies present and
said not word. This he repeated twice,
with some other insulting words, until
the poor girl trembled and crimsoned
with shame. A married lady sitting
near with her daughter, rose to her feet,
end said: els there not man In this
car gentleman enough to protect this
young girl from the insult of this man,
who has not only insulted her but every
lady in the car 2" Profound silence.
"Then will see what I can dc" and
forcing open the car door, she called the
conductor, and stating the case, asked
to have the man put out. With the
usual feeling that woman's opinion is
not worth anything, the conductor
turned to the man for an answer, and
some said "Oh, it is not bad enough
for that" When the lady insisted, one
single man at the other end of the car
rose, and said: "The lady is right !;
the fellow should be put out" Iregret
to say for the last ten years l have not
lived in Germany, and I return to my
native land to blush over the rude, i'll
manners of my countrymen. The fel.
low was silenced, but the conductor had
not the moral courage to put him out.
The lady reported the conductor to the
authorities. Whether he will be repri-
manded or not remains to be seen. Now
I do not believe there was single man
in that car who would not have resented
the insult had the girl been relation,
or even an acquaintance, for as such 1t
would have touched his honor, but as
simply woman he acted on the prin'
ciple every one must look out for him
self. Such is the chivalrous attention OF
Germans to women. Berlin Correspo1a-
dence Cincinnati Gazette.
