Another Victim.

During Urban's examination last Wedne.-
day man appeared on the scene by the
name of EDWARD Knopf, who happened here
just in time to give important testimony,
wit bout which Urban would now be at
large 1t appears that Knopf was robbed
OF $40 in the morning of the same day as
old man Bump. He was from New Hamp-
shire on his way to Oshkosh, and while
waiting at the junction for train north,
he was enticed into W halen's gambling den
and relieved of his mo4ey by the three ras.
calls now in Jail. By giving him back SIS
OF his money they induced him to resume
his journey. At Oshkosh he met friend,
20 whom he related the circumstance of lis
robbery and appeared much detected The
friend prevailed on Knopf to return with
him to Watertown and prosecute the monte
men. The two being without money trav-
eled the en- tire distance on foot, arriving
here Wednesday in time to give testimony
enough against Urban to warrant the JUS
tice in holding him for trial.

The Monitor OIL Stove.

Mr.. Milton Blanchard, of this city, has
the agency of Jefferson county for the Mon
tor Oil Stove, one of the best things for
bousekeepers that was ever invented. It is
complete cooking stove in itself, and be
most elaborate dinner can be prepared on
it with less trouble and time than on com.
mon wood stove. There is also an oven at
tached and it bakes quickly and even
~. For ironing purposes it Is Tar
superior to anything heretofore devils
ed 1t does not heat the room; you can
bake or iron all day long without ncreas-
ing the temperature. There is neither smell
OF oil or smoke when using it. 1t is sim.
pie and ornamental, very compact and dur
able, occupies but a small space on kitch-
en- or dining room table, is always ready
tor use, requiring but match to light it,
and may be extinguished when no longer
required, thus saving the expense of con-
slant fire. The heat can be regulated as
desired by simply turning the regula, or.
A quart of common kerosene oil will run it
ten hours. 1t gives an even and reliable
heat and when started will bum all day
without requiring to be touched in any

A Collision and Discharge.

blank" Fitzgerald, conductor, and John
Manning, engineer, on the train between
here and Madison, have been suspended by
the company on account of an unfortunate
accident, for which they are held response
BILE. Wednesday night of last week, on
their arrival at Madison they had orders to
run to Portage and return, and were noti-
fed to look out for the regular trains On
the road. They arrived at ortage all
right, but on their return they ran into a
freight train, resulting IN the smashing of
the engine on each train. The engineers
and 6remen saved their lives only by jump
ing. Hank and John, concluding that
their services were no longer required, sent
in their designations to the company, which
were accepted, and both are now laboring
under a suspension of the rules" Messrs.
Fitzgerald and Manning are among The old
est employees on the road, and in their
present misfortune they have the sympathy
of our entire community, with whom the
"boys" have ever been popular. Hopes are
EXPRESSED on all sides that each may yet be
restored to his former position, and that
they may be given another opportunity of
serving the company with the faithfulness
and promptness they have ever exercised
except on this unfortunate occasion.

The Second DeIIs Excursion.

The second grand excursion to Bilbourn
and the Dells took place as previously adj
vertised, last Saturday. About three pas
senger coaches of our citizens availed them
selves of the opportunity of vi sitting this
famous and romantic section of our state,
many Of them for the second time this sea-
son, being induced to view again this wild
scenery ON account of the deep impression
made on the mind the first time. The en-
tire excursion was fine success, and all
felt we'll repaid for the trip. Many new
scenes presented themselves to those who
had gone before, and there seems no end to
the extent and variety of the romantic pic
lures that the Dells and their surroundings
contain. After day of unalloyed pleasure
the excursionists returned at log o'clock at
night. Mr. j.. Il. Sleeper and Mr.. b. b.
Quick are we'll deserving OF the thanks OF
our community for the highly successful
manner they have managed these ex ;ur-
sions to the Dells. We have no doubt that
another season tho Dells will be the great
protective point for picnic excursions.

How to Vanqutsh the StOmach,s
Torn ntOr.


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

The American People,

No people in the world suffers as much
with Dyspepsia as Americans. Although
years OF experience in Medicine has failed
to accomplish certain and sure remedy
for this disease and its effects, such as Sour

Headache, Costiveness, palpitation of the
Heart, Liver Complaint, coming up of the

Dodge County Items.

JUNEAU, Sept. 9Th, 1876.
The storm on Tuesday evening last ap-
pears to have been very severe in different
parts of the county. In the neighborhood
of Burnett Junction. farm mouse was
struck BY lightning, and Mrs. Goodman
and child, the sole occupants of the house,
killed. At May vile the storm appears to
have been the most severe. The German
school house was struck by lightning DUR
ing an exhibition of the Turner's, and two
boys severely hurt. All the bridges across
Rock river in that locality were swept
away, and several house completely under
mined. The mill dam of Kekoskee was
damaged to a con siderable extent. The
amount of damage to private property alone
at Mayville is estimated at $4,000.
The Dodge County Agricultural Fair is
advertised to take place on the Fair Grounds
in this village on Oct. 10, ii and IL. The
grounds have been entirely re fenced, cat
up, and the track entirely re-laid By pur-
chase Of land adjoining the old fair grounds
the track is now one bal mile in length.
The result of the Democratic Congress
ional Convention at Sheboygau, has sur
prised no one here, and very few in tie
county will feel sorry thereat. Notwith-
standing that Mr.. Burchard had secured the
whole delegation from this county, with
the exception Of tMajor" Gardner. the sup
port in his behalf was quite lukewarm. The
result can only be considered as terrible
rebuke to the present member for his vag-
aries of different KINDS in Washington.
The republicans may feel pleased at the re-
suit; General Bragg, though democrat,
was brave soldier, and can hardly be ex-
pected to 60 as far in his support of the
rebel element in Congress as stay-at.home
democrat.
The Temple at Honor holds a pic mic on
the fair grounds at Juneau, on Thursday
next. Several lodges from abroad are ex-
pected. In the evening there will be
dance at Congress Hail."
The Democratic County Convention has
been called to meet at this place on the
10th of this month. There is but little ex-
element on the selection of candidates; the
only fights being on the candidates for
Sheriff and Clerk Of the Court. For the
latter position Hon. John Lowth, who he's
served the county faithfully and well for
sew eral years, is candidate for re-nomina-
ton. It will be impossible for the conven-
ton to Hnd man who will fill the position
with as great ability and to as great salts
faction to those having business before the
courts. Hence his nomination is sincerely
to be desired.

Cheap Dictionaries.

A Jefferson correspondent of the Mil
waukee Sentinel, tells in the following
graphic style, how easy those in attendance
at a recent teachers institute at that place ;,
procured dictionaries from poor unsophisi-
Gated agent of Chicago publishing house.
The correspondent says:
Mai. Cheney is generous almost to the
verge of improvidence, for he offered to
give every person in the room copy of
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, provided
they could spell twenty five easy words.
Every body of course accepted the offer. and
saw themselves trudging home bowed down
with the weight of dictionary. Maj.
Cheney pronounced the words pretty fast,
but perhaps that was because he knew there
were at least half dozen in the room who
were in hurry to get through with the SPELL
ing and write their autographs in their die
tonaries. The list of words was until,
sieve, seize, siege, millinery, numskull,
epergne, gsuger, Galilean. collectible, gela-
BILE, chagrining, dncat, vacillate, cachinna-
ton, sacrilegious, nsphtha, innnendoes,
trafficking, supersede, deleble, indelible.
meneys, syzygy, and Profs. Marsh and
Barns missed four words and Supt. Collier
Eve; the other spoilers did not care to re-
port. And, oh yes, Asj. Cheney kept all
his dictionaries.

tract:
The undersigned has been favorably men,
