the LOVE THAT LIVED.
BY K. NORMAN GUNNIsoN

The love that lived in other times
Has never more grown cold;
The music of life's morning chimes
Has never yet grown old
And still the numbers that we sung
Adown the distance float
As sweetly a. when life was young,
Nor lose a single note.
What matter that the years have traced
Their burrows on the brown
The friendships which our childhood graced
Are all the sweeter now.
What matters that at times load
of WEAKNESS We bear2
The flowers that blossom on our road
Grow whittier. blooming there.
We grow not older with the days,
Tit massage of the years,
0St>R-aas still its sweet old ways,
Unblotted by our tears,
And still the music of its chimes
Are glad upon each tongue
The love that lived in other times
Still lives, forever young.

Dear Editor.

AUG. 18th, 1878,
Dear Editor:
We arrived here four weeks ago, TO day and
found our Agency situated in a very pleasant To-
cation about a mile from the Missouri River,
and on a table land about 80 #. above the high
water mark of the river. After exchanging the
usual Hours with the Indians, who seemed to
De on the most friendly terms with the whites,
showing us their medal Of peace, given them by
Andrew Johnson, Gen. Grant and others to prove
they were peaceable, we enter our old clothes
and proceed to business. Every thing passed
lovely except an occasional Indian scare which
generally would be explained by some Indians
seeing two Or three ponies. on a bluff in the dis
lance.
Sitting Bull is now in the British Possessions
about 20 miles, from the line which is about
100 miles from the Agency, where Gen.
Miles says he is going to keep him till he starves
him out and brings him to an unconditional sur
render. A week ago Gen. Whistler with COM
panies of mounted infantry came to our other is
suing post Wolf Point, % miles from here, for
the purpose of capturing band of Hostiles
which left Rose Bud Agency D. T., with the in
tention of joining Sitting Bull and committing
such depredatlonS as they could in safety along
the road. To-day, our Indians reported them
preparing to cross the river mile below this
point and scout was Immediately sent to &c n
Whistler with the order to come Immediately
and we expect him here every minute. Their
capture is doubtful in my mind, as they are as
well mounted as the q. S. troops and an hours
start will be enough to give them time to
get over the line before they can be overtaken.
Our Chief, Red Thunder, came in last night with
two scalps he had taken and he said as long as
there was troops in the country he was not going
to fight them. man came in from the British
Possessions week ago stating that he metsSlttng
Bull and was stopped After asking few ques-
lions regarding his business he told him he
could go and not fear his men as he was great
warrior and he would take no advantage Of his
being alone but if he met the white great warrior
with his men he would consider them his equal
and fight them. Should anything happen that
think would interest your readers will send you

The Excessive DrOu0Ht.

This section is now passing through
period Of the severest drought experienced
in some years. The ground is as dry as
meal for great depth and until the
slight rain of Tuesday morning the dust
Oh the roads was ankle deep, making
travel almost unbearable. As a conse-
quence of the long continued dry wealth
er vegetation has suffered materially, late
corn and potatoes being badly injured
and fall feed ruined beyond reclamation.
Meadows and pastures have become liter
ally parched and dry, so much sothat farm
ers have been obliged to feed their stock
something that hardly ever has happen
ed in this country before at this time of
year. Nothing short of several days
rain will help us out.

Fire.

Last Thursday morning at about one
o'clock the large frame barn of A. LANCE,
between 4th and 9Th streets, Cd Ward,
was discovered on fire and before any as
sistance could be rendered the building
was destroyed everything being as dry as
finder. Two COWS and a horse were in
the barn when the fire broke out One
of the COWS was rescued but the other
COW and the horse persisted in the flames
The barn also contained a buggy, sleigh,
harness, hay and grain all of which were
burned. The origin of the fire remains
a mystery the general impression prevail
ing, however, that it was the work of an
incendiary. Occurring so neal. where w.
Meyers barn burned two weeks previous
and involving loss quite similar, certain
ly looks suspicious. 1t has been suggest
ed that perhaps some one is endeavoring
to show the necessity for a cistern in that
part of the city. The barn, hay and
grain was insured in the Phoenix of Hart
ford for 5000. The balance of the pro-
perry destroyed was uninsured.

Republican County Contention.

AACHtOOeCNN CON1CGU COTC61CC1O2I
The call is made for the republican
county convention to be held at Jefferson
on Saturday, September 18th, for the
purpose of nominating candidates for
clerk Of the court and county superinten-
dent Of schools. Care should be made in
the selection of these candidates as the
success OF the democratic nominees for
these positions if the republicans name
good men, is by no means assured. So
Tar as county superintendent is concern
ed the city Of Watertown having no voice
in the election, leaving the democrats at
best very small margin to work upon,
it would seem that in the nomination
of a candidate whose fitness and ability
for the office could not be questioned and
by dint of energetic work, the republican
stands more than an even chance with
the democratic nominee. We do not be-
lieve in drabbling the office of superin-
tendent of schools with partisan politics,
in fact in his selection politics pure and
simple should be ignored, but as the dem
ocrats have seen fit to make it a party
question in this county the republicans
should have no fears to meet the issue
on the same grounds, believing that in the
success of republican principles in con-
nection with the position the interests of
the people and the schools would be
largely enhanced rather than through
purely democratic ascendency. AS to
clerk OF the court we believe the republi-
cans will make choice of candidate who
would fill the position if elected with
credit to himself and honor to the county
Frank Bernhard has left for Madison
to resume his studies at the State Univer-
sity.

Some may not be aware that the manu-
facture Of soap enters largely into the
manufacturing interests of Watertown.
Philip Schmidt from small beginnings
has worked up an important and thirty
ing branch of industry in our city. This
has been accomplished through the thrift
push, energy and enterprise Mr.. S.
has infused into his business. The Wat
ertown Soap Mandatory has got up a
fine reputation for its goods wherever
sold for the reason that it's proprietor has
always used the best ingredients to be
found III the manufacture Of soaps, never
placing a spurious or impure article on
the market. By this means customers
once made are always retained. Soap is
an important item in every day life and
its use has become one Of the necessities
of the age. It is very DESTROYS that in
obtaining soap for clothes washing pur-
poses that we procure kind that con-
tains no injurious ingredients and that
can be used for washing the most deli
cate fabrics with perfect safety as well as
the coarser grades of goods Mr.Schmidt
manufactures soap called the "Magic
Laundry Soap''which fully answers these
requirements, and from q trial of it in
our own household we do not hesitate to
recommend it to all who want a soap for
common purposes that is in all respects
satisfactory. The Magic Laundry is
manufactured from Cocoa Nut, Palm and
other vegetable oils; it is not injurious to
health as are many kinds thrown upon
the market at reduced prices made from
the grease and fat of half decaved ami
mails. Being highly scented it softens
and cleanses the skin and is indespens-
able for the bathroom and washstand. It
can be said Of the Magic Laundry Soap
thatmore washing may be done with one
cake Of it than with two of the common
kind, placing it in the market not ONLY
as the best but also the cheapest SOAP.
A large and increasing demand has
sprung up all over the country for Philip
Schmidts genuine Cocoa Nut Oil Soap
which Mr.. Schmidt has manufactured
for the past sixteen years and is undoubt
edly the best toilet soap made fact that
even the dealers of Chicago are finding
out, Mr.. Schmidt filling many orders for
that city. Having become exceedingly
popular everywhere on account of it's ex-
cellent qualities, manufacturers have inn
posed on the public soap of similar
color and style made of common oil and
lard. In the manufacture of this soap
Mr.. Schmidt uses nothing but the very
best cocoa nut oil and he offers to pay
any person $4,000 who can prove that
he is using any lard or tallow in its man
ufacture. Asa branch of Waterfowl
our citizens generally
should feel an interest in the success and
permanency of the Watertown Soap Fac
tory and especially among the merchants
and dealers i'll his goods he should re-
ceive encouragement Watertown soap
should certainly find ready demand here
and, all things being equal, should sup
plant the sale Of soap made away from
home. We should take more interest in
home manufactures and use every en-
deavor to foster home trade.
