genuine temperance revival has been
in progress in our midst during The pastfew
days under the auspices Of the Good Temp
lars. The meetings were commenced Satu--
day in the Missionary Temperance Tent
pitched on the vacant lot corner Of Western
avenue and Seventh street, lss ward, and
closed Tuesday evening. Meetings were
held mornings, afternoons and evenings
with large audiences present, if we except
several of the afternoons, many being kept
away on account of the excessive heat.
But without an exception the evening APP
pointments were all we'll attended and
throughout the entire series there appeare
in the interest manifested and the attention
given the speakers, a real awakening in the
cause of temperance. The gatherings were
addressed oy Hon. John Seboski of Chicago
for ten years the State Lecturer of the Good
Templars of Illinois and Hon.John B. Finch,
of Lincoln, Nebraska, ex Grand Chancellor
of the order. Both are eloquent speakers,
earnest advocates of what they profess and
heartily enlisted in the work they have in
hand. Their subject they handled from
| different stand point from any temperate &c
| speakers who have appeared here as et,and
left most favorable impression On their
hearers, notwithstanding they did not
mlnce words and dealt heavy blows to the
liquor traffic. The music of the meetings
was under the direction of Prof. T. H.
Brand, of Madison, and the hearty manner
with which the audience joined in the sing
ing of the stirring temperance odes and
songs was marked and enjoyable feature
of the series. Monday evening e. grand con-
cert, interspersed by readings from Prof
Brand, was given under the canvass to a
large audience The Brand quartette were
| assisted by the Hawley choir of the Good
Templar lodge, Messrs, G. S. Hawley, John
j. Moulding, John G. Ford and Miss Julia
Ford. Miss Liz zie Griffith accompanying
on the organ. Excellent selections were
rendered and in manner to receive warm
evidences of approval from those present.
Prof Brand S readings were particularly we II
timed indicating his fine taste and ability
as elocutonist. The concert was fol =
lowed by remarks from Mr.. Seboski who
spoke with fervor and impressiveness for
nearly an hour after which the meeting
closed with the singing of the doxology.

Burglar Shot.

William Mansfield did "a good ssrok
for God and humanity last Wednesday
morning by sending a bullet into the car
cass of burglar in the store of his uncle, Geo
Mansfield, of Johnson's Creek. William is
clerk of his uncle and sleeps in the store
together with another clerk. The boys
were awakened by noise, but could see moth
ing through the darkness except occasion
ally when the burglar struck match to take
in his surroundings. Young Mansfield
cody awaited his opportunity and soon the
thief steppedinto doorway which is between
the dry goods and grocery departments
within ten feet of him. He raised his re-
volver took deliberate aim at his unlimited
guest and fred the ball striking Mr.. Thief
in the groin. The wounded man fell to
the floor with groan. Mr.. Geo. Mansfield
the proprietor of the store was soon on the
ground and the burglar was taken care Of
until he could be conveyed to Jefferson Jail
where he now lies with the lead still in his
body. His wound is not as dangerous as
was at first supposed and he will undoubt-
eddy get we'll. He gives his name as Rog-
ers and says he is from Mansfield, Ohio.
He came into Wisconsin but few days ago
and the night of the attempted robbery he
came from Fond du Lac on the night train
and got off It Johnson's Greek. 1t is thought
he had an accomplish, as two men were
eeen talking near the DEPOT by workmen on
the freight train on viii, b the thief must
hsve come from Fond du Lac. Cartridges
were found in his pockets but no firearms.
An entrance was effected throu yh a. window
from which the burglar extracted pane of
glass by the aid of chisel which he took
from a warehouse near by. We understand
he will 60 before the Couaty Judge and

The CROPS.

The winter wheat and rye harvest is pro-
crossing favorably in this section. Both
crops are in excellent condition and will
yield above the average. Spring wheat
does not appear to be injured from the ex-
cessive heat of the past few days, although
some rust shows itself on few fields, but
hopes are enter tanned that no particular
damage to the crop will come from it.
