Minors as Railway Employees.

A law has been in existence for some
time relative to the employment of minors
by railroad companies. but has been dead
letter. Among other provisions, it makes
it proper to award greater damages for
death caused to an employee by the cara
lessness Of the company, if said employe is
under age, than if he had reached his ma
jority. The Attorney General has now de-
clared his intention to have the law fully
enforced, and in consequence most of the
railroad companies will discharge all such
employees. The Michigan Central, the Hi
nois Central and the Chicago & Northwest
ern Roads have commenced discharging
their boys. The Burlington l. Quincy
Road is to commence soon, 1t is said, on the
same line of policy.

Readings.

The readings of Prof. S. S. lockwood, OF
Whitewater, the second entertainment in the
Lyceum Lecture Course, at the Congrega-
tional church last Friday evening, had very
good attendance, and the reader received
close attention from his audience. The
Professor was evidently more at home in his
comic selections than in those of a more
serious character. His programme com
prised the following:

Prof. Cummings Lectures.

The first lecture in Prof w. D. Cummings
Geological Course was given last Wednesday
evening at Music Hail. His theme was the
"Earth before Life" and from the evolution
school of science he handled his subject as
one who understood his business With the
crayon he was quite an expert, making bis
drawings with rapidity and precision.
Everything indicates that his course will
be highly entertaining and instructive.
Prof. Cunning lectures twice this week at
Music Hall, Wednesday and Thursday
evenings. Wednesday evening he treats on
"Rock Making; Metal Making; World
Making" with illustrations by chemical
experiments and crayon Drawings. His
subject Thursday evening is ''Ice Flood

John Canes illustrated,

John Canes has returned from an extern
sive trip through his organ and piano agen-
cies in Iowa and Minnesota. At La Crosse
he stopped long enough to have his cut
appear in the Sunday Free Press. Ia the
striking picture his coat tails are son the

course it is open, and evidently whisper
ing" The illustration is intended to rep
resent John after delinquent debtor, but
we are not told whether his Canes had IN
creased any or not. But perhaps some day
we shall know all about this. Let it suffice
for the present, however, to say that John
is expecting large trade this spring, and
it is one of bis peculiarities. or at least
his good luck. that he is never disappointed
in his hopes. So mote it be, and may we
live to see the pianos and organs leaving
his music house at rapid rate.

Our city became the refuge for three
tramps last week, responding to the names
of James Bell, VIM. Brady and VIM. Allison
Friday they visited the store of Matt Smith
on the West side, and stole little money.
Marshal Cunningham entered upon the
work of arresting them. One of the fellows
showed strong resistance to the officers,
and was not taken to the lookup before
causing considerable trouble. But the trio
were finally safely locked up. Saturday
their case came up before Justice Kreb., and
he sentenced Bell to Imprisonment in the
County Jail for so days, Brady As days and
Allison IA days.

That Fire Alarm.

There was "much ado about nothing
over the alarm of FIRE last Friday evening.
The cause Of the alarm was the burning of
a chimney on a small frame house situated
in the hop yard Of Mr.. P. Y. Brown in the
4th ward, and the only damage done was
the burning of small hole in tie roof.
Under the excitement of the alarm and be-
fore the FIRE could be located, both of our
steamers came out ready for action, but soon
evident that their services were not re-
quired The house was occupied by fam
lily named Marsh, but we believe they suf-
fered no loss

A Terrible Couch.

How often we hear the above remark
during these extreme changes of weather.
Colds, coughs and sore threats were never
as prevalent among children as now. Now
we are going to urge you to try remedy
which has excited comments by physicians
all over the country, who acknowledge
their surprise at the wonderful and happy
results from its use. That remedy is the
well-know preparation, HALE'S COUGH
CORDIAL. Your own druggists in Water
town will tell you that it is the best cough
medicine they ever sold; and warrant a
cure or return your money to you in case
of failure after using ons-half the bottle
1t is very pleasant to the taste, making it
very desirable remedy for children.

Accident.

Last Saturday afternoon Mrs. Ebenezer
Cole, while crossing Main street bridge,
tripped against plank that had been
placed over hole and fell heavily on her
face, injuring her in fearful manner. She
was carried into Mrs. Parker's shop and
received prompt medical attention from DR..
Muzzy. The skin was torn completely from
her nose and other portions of her face,
causing great pain and probable disfgure-
ment. This accident Is the result of careless
ness on the part of our authorities for not
seeing that the walks are kept in repair,
especially thoroughfare so much Travelled
as the bridge. We hope it will prove a
warning.

JUNEAU, Feb. 5th.
The result of the special school meeting
held on Tuesday last to take into consider
alton the condition of the present school
house, was a resolution authorizing the
Board to employ three disinterested archi-
tects to examine the building and give their
opinion as to its safety. Meanwhile school,
which was suspended for a week, has open
ed again, but many parents, having no
faith in the safety of the building, refuse to
allow their children to attend the school
Since the meeting many of those who are
firmly convinced of its safety have reached
the conclusion that the best thing the dis
trict could do under all the circumstances
would be to purchase the Brick Mill and fit
it up for school purposes, in time to COM
mence the fall term. 1t is certain that the
district cannot afford to run any risks in
the matter of the safety of the old building.

A SWiMdler as a Missionary.

The case of one .. F. Jones, arrested for
obtaining money under false pretences, oc-
cupied the attention of Justice Krebs court
last Saturday afternoon. He claimed to be
from Marietta, Ohio, and is of the Welsh
persuasion. He was engaged in the very
laudable work of collecting money in aid of
the Welsh Calvanistic, Methodist and Con-
gregational church of Shawnee, Ohio.
which he represented in a very impover-
ished condition and much in need Of means
to keep things running. In October last
year be opened up his errand OF mercy
among the good Welsh people of Waukesha
and vicinity, and here collected some Sic. GO
for the Shawnee church. His next point of
attack was lxonia, but here they did not
come down very literally and he got only
$3.45- For time he disappeared and was
not heard of again until last week, when
with thu assistance of Rev. T. Jones, of this
city, who was innoceItly drawn into the
fellows scheme, labor was commenced
among the Welsh people of Emmett in be-
half of the Shawnee mission, and about
$1,000 was drawn into the treasury. It
appears that the Ixionaites, having been
suspicious of James for some time, and
hearing of his temperance on the stage,
began to Investigate him. Inquiry was
made about him at Shawn ee, Marietta and
elsewhere, and the most positive proof was
obtained that James was an imposter and
swindler, never having had any authority
to collect money for the Shawnee church.
AT all the places he visited he showed in
writing what he purported to be genuine
authority from the church committee and
pastor empowering him to collect funds. 1t
so happened that the Shawnee church was
in need of assistance from outside, fact
we'll known to the Welsh of Wisconsin, and
hence so many of them were easily led
into the trap by this pious swindler. He
was arrested Saturday, but not until long
run had been made after him by Constable
Schaller of The 4th ward. When taken be
admitted his guilt and confessed every thing
The District Attorney, not being able to
appear until next Saturday, his examination
was postponed until that time, Justice
krebs placing his bail at SlOO in default of
which he Was sent to Jail. But the incl
dents in the case do not end here for on his
way down to Jail on the freight train, Sat.
urday night, he in some way not yet clear
ly defined, became detached from Officer
Schaller and escaped. By this time he is
doubtless out OF reach, and perhaps again
doing missionary work at a safe distance
James is smart, active looking young
man, apparently about rs years OF age
with keen, black eye, and seems well ed
ucaIed. He would never be taken for a
rascal at first sight.

Disease Grows Apace,

Like an ill wind, and cannot be mastered
too early. What is a trifing attack of sick
ness to-day may, if unattended to, become
serious case next week. Small ailments
should be nipped in the bud before they
blossom into full blown maladies. If this
advice were attended to many heavy bill
for medical attendance might be avoided.
When the liver is disordered, the stomach
foul, the bowels ob,tructed or the nerves
disturbed, resort should at once be had to
that supreme remedy, Hestetters Stomach
Bitters, few doses of which will restore
healthy action and put the system in perfect
order. 1t is wise precaution to keep this
lncomparative preventive in the house,
since it checks, with unrivaled promptitude
disorders which breed others far more dan
gerous, and iu their latest developments are
themselves often fatal.

COrdeII's Improved Drag.

Mr.. James Kilian is now manufacturing
at his blacksmith and wagon shops on Third
street, Cordell's Improved Drag which is
really the best thing in the harrow line we
have ever seen. The Cordell drag is made
in four sections, and the thoroughress with
which it does its work in the field is the
great point in its favor. This drag is SO
made that 1t performs its work as etfectualIy
on the smallest knoll or in the smallest
hollow as it does OF the even surface of the
land. We think the Cordell drag must
commend itself to the good judgment of
every farmer, and those engaged in agri-
culture had better see it before purchasing
any other kind Call and see 1t at his shop
on Sd street, lst ward.
