John Dillon Combination

The Wallack combination opened brief
season at the Opera House last evening to a
crowded house, which embraced the greater
number of the mem bers Of the legislature. To
say that the performa1 ce was satisfactory does
not express one half, for from the raising Of
the curtain to the drop at the end of the farce
there was constant roar of laughter John
Dillon as Toby, the conjurer was more than
usually funny the every lineament of his
c'.untenance provoking the most boisterous
laughter. He was greeted at the close of the
play with perfect ovation, being called before
the curtain with perfect tumult of cheers
and applause. He regretted that he couldn't

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Disappointed Love and Whisky do t
Business.

Disappointed Love and Whisky do the
Business.
Sunday night the village Of Northfeld was
excited by an attempted suicide. George A..
Sexton, a handsome merchant of repute and
social standing, was the frenzied victim of the
empted self immolation. The act was COM
mitted while in half drunken state. He had
been drinking all day, and at late hour at night
took what may be his last drink. He stepped
to the back part of the saloon, pulled out a
revolver, placed it to his left temple and dis
charged the fatal shot. The shot ranged for
ward, and is supposed to have lodged just be-
hind the nose, totally binding the left eve.
Assist ance was given him, and he was conveyed
to his home.
The reason assigned for the rash act is disap-
poinment in love. Sexton is reported to have
been engaged TO a young lady in Faribault.
She had extended the usual amount of encour-
agement, and he became deeply enamored.
The faint sound of the wedding bells had
already begun to ring in his ears. A few day S
ago he visited his enamorata. For some unac-
countable reason her reception of him was ex-
ceedingy frigid. He inquired and with
out explanation got his dismissal.
Instead of singing like the cid Troubadour.
''She may go, she may go to - for me" he
went away with the frenzy of despair ringing
in his brain, and surging up from his heart.
Instead of drowning his heated despair by
plunging his head into bucket of cold water,
he plunged a lot of liquid damnation down his
throat to steal the little sense he had left.
Steamed up between love and whisky, he shot
! himself as stated above. There are few hopes
| of his recovery entertained.

they might feel by clapping their hands.
With the exception of the female convicts,
and two prisoners who were sick, every convict
was present to enjoy the treat in store.
At the conclusion Of the warden's remarks
the band began the concert, rendering their
finest selections in their best style, and never
before did they receive such heartfelt and ap-
preciative applause.
The concert was interspersed by vocal music
by Prof. r. F. Jones, the Misses Hefferman and
Miss Josie Brown. comic duett by Prof.
Jones and Miss A. Hefferman elected hearty
laugh from the convicts, perhaps the first many
Of them have enjoyed for years.

to Congress for the improvement of Kewaunee
harbor and in relation to the operation of the
United States coast survey We're concurred in.

ing, and several unimportant bills indefinitely
postponed. Senator Sackett introduced sub
stitutefor Senate bill No. 1856. providing for
license fee of $500 payable by insurance COM
panies, and also l per cent. of gross receipts.
Remonstrances were numerous in the Assembly
against the bill requiring foreign insurance
companies to keep reserves of $4,000 depos-
tied with the insurance commissioner of this
State. The railroad committee reported favor
ably on the exemption for ten years of the
lands of the North Wisconsin railroad. Senate
! bills were concurred in appropriating $4,000 to
| the State board If health appropriating 81, 900
to the Governor as contingent fund; author
| izing the secretary of state to audit the ex-
| penses of the text book commission. The bill
giving laborers first lien on farm crops was
indefinitely postponed.
| The Assembly went into committee of the
| whole, with Mr.. Quarler in the chair. Consid-
erable discussion was had in committee on the
appropriation of $4,000 to the State fish com
mission, many members being opposed to it on
the ground of economy. Various local bills
were killed, and various bills were ordered to q
