the experiment. But there need be no
fears of its success. An oil lamp has been
burning in front of the American House
Sd ward for the last three weeks consuming
less than one cent for oil per night giving
as much light as any gas light in the city
if we accept the one at the meter, and at
one tenth the cost Neither Wind or weather
effect it. 1t burns with equal briliancy at
Duluth in winter as at Cairo in Summer.
The attention of the Board of Street Com
missoners have been called TO this lamp, q
few have visited it,some admit it's excellence
and its cheapness others would go around

with its plebean light. Su h men you can

The lecture on ssSelf-Made Women" by
Mrs. Marion v Dudley, at the assembly
chamber, last evening, was so full of vital
truth, grandly uttered, that we wish every
woman and maiden in our land could have
heard it.
The questions which interest all woman
hood and hence all humanity, were so eli.
cately and reverentl5 handled, that the au-
dience were insensibly lifted to the speak
er's high plane of thought.
No synopsis Gun do justice to the lecture;
the vigorous thought, the graceful express
sion, and the torcihe delivery were all
blended into one harmonious whole, which
must be heard in its entirety to be appre-
ciated.
We are sure that the young ladies OF the
university must feel deeply grateful to Yrs.
Dudley, not only for her sgenerosity in Civ
ing them the lecture, but more for the pic
ture of true womanhood which she present
ed them, and of which she herself is SO in
spring an illustration.
We hope nat at no distant time the lee
ture will be repeated Madison Democrat

ChIOrOfOrmed

The I'd story of the residence of Miss
D. Quentmeyer in the Third ward, occu-
led by widow lady named Liny ard,
was entered from ladder Monday night
by two thieves who administered chloro-
form to Mrs. L. and proceeded to help
themselves to things about the premises.
Mrs. Linyard, however, soon recovered
from the effects of the chloroform and
seeing the men about her bed screamed
which brought Miss Quentmeyer up to
the room and frightened away the burg
lars fortunately before they had time to
get anything. Mrs. Linyard was SO sick
from the dose of chloroform given her
as TO require the medical attendance of
Dr. M. N. Barber.

A Hard Customer.

Tuesday morning at about ! o'clock spe-
cial policeman Billy Wilson arresteda hard
looking customer who was hanging around
the Junction with evidently no good inten-
tions. When Wilson laid hands on him
the fellow presented pistol in each hand
at him thereby displaying more than ordI-
nary tramp daring and audacity. Upon the
prisoner were found three pistols, leather
case containing dinner knife, skeleton
key and chisel all intending to serve
useful purpose in attempts to enter houses.
Attached to watch chain he wore was 8
small key for opening handouts. He also
had on his person coppers and silver to the
amount Of about $3.50. The prisoner was
taken before Justice Arnold and gave his
name as Henry Dalton, Of Cleveland, Ohio.
He was sentenced to months at hard labor
ii County Jail. Dalton had pals with him
but they eluded the officers.

500 Lost to the CITY.

1t has been generally known that propo.
sition has for some time past been before
theboard osstreet commissioners to lessen the
expense heretofore paid for lighting streets
800. That PROPOSE ton has been consider
ed and rejected. What reason were gwen
for suchaction? None, and no reasonable
argument could be given. We take it for
granted that .every taxpayer knows that
for years the city has paid too much for gas.
That certain members of the Board know
that we are paying for much more gas than
we consume. They also know that the CITY
is poor that we are badly in debt, that thew
were elected to their places to introduce
and enforce economy in public service yet
when they are shown how they can save
$500 or $500 in lighting streets they utter
~ refuse to do it. Gentlemen of the Board
you are occupying seats that once were
filled with honor by Shurz Prtchard

tanned national reputation. Is this the
way you honor their places? First econo.

your action is unmanly ,unbusness like and

A Dodge County Sensation

highly sensational story with strong
suspicion Of foul play attached to it, comes
from the town of Hustisford, Dodge county,
about nine miles north of this city. For a
few years previous to last fall one Lawrence
kapp carried on a saloon in Milwaukee.
but Sold out his business some time before
Christmas and came to this city where he
found a distant relative in Conrad Horn,
proprietor of a grocery and restaurant in
the Fourth Ward, near the Northwestern
depot. He brought few effects with him
from Milwaukee in the shape of furniture
and Lad also certificate of deposit on
Milwaukee bank for $lGO which he left
with Mr. Horn for safe keeping. Kapp was
fond of hunting, frequently remaining away
IN the country several days. During one
of. these: hunting excursions be brought ur
at the farmhouse of one Erdmann in the
town of Hustisford, living with an only
daughter, unmarried, Erdmann himself be-
ing widower The daughter has two
children, however. Kapp, it appears, be-
came enamored with the daughter and he
was convinced that the feeling was recpro-
Gated. II is evident that matters did not
always run smoothly with Kapp at Erd-
mann s as after one of his hunts during the
winter, continuing three or four days, he
came back resolved never to 90 TO Erd-
mann's again and settled down with his re-
lative Horn. Three or four times Erdmaun
visited kapp at Horns and offered induce
ments to Kapp to 60 and stay with him on
his farm. AT last Kapp consented and went
taking his effects with him. 1t appears
that Kapp assisted Erdmann in The work
on the farm in different ways. On Tues
day, May 20. Kapp was burning brush, it is
claimed by the Erdmanns, and falling over
into the fire was burned to death. The
daughters version of the story is that seeing
the smoke she went to the fire and found
kapp lying down with a hole burned in his
side, although his clothes were not burned
of from him. 1t is very remarkable, to
say the least, that person should be burn
ed to death and yet that his clothing should
not burn. The woman also says he was
probably drunk at the time. At any rate
she asserts that he only spoke word or
two after she reached him and then d ed
1t appears that an improvised posi- norton
examination was made by few of the
neighbors and a doctor, from Hustisford, but
without any legal sem blante hatever. We
have not heard what their verdict was, but
it seems that the body of poor KaHp was put
out OF the way with unbecomiag haste and
as quietly as possible. With a number of
other things it is told that the day before
Kapps death he had returned from Milwau-
kee from squaring up some business affairs
he had lett unsettled when he sold cut.
The inference is naturally drawn that be
may have had money with him. The
Dodge county officers are now on track of
the case and it is to be hoped that the mys-
teries that now surround it may be soon
cleared up and it foul play has been COM
mtted the guilty ones punished.

JUNEAU, June Sd, 1879.
The annual fair of the Dodge County
Agricultural Society will be held on the
Far Grounds in Juneau on the 10th, 18th
and 18th of September. The prem iums
,have been raised about % per cent. over
those Of last year, and the officers are anx-
ious to do all they can to make the fair
success. Wa'ertown ought to remember in
this connection that the So ,cess of the Cen
trail Fair for the past years has in great
measure been enhanced by the encourage
ment received from the farmers Of Dodge
county and should endeavor 10 reciprocate
as far as in its power lies.
Decora ton day was observed in Juneau
for the first time by an exhibition on the
part of The school children under the lea
dership of their teachers. and the graves of
several soldiers in the village cemetery were
decorated withhowers, the children marching
to the grounds in procession, headed by the
band Short addresses were delivered by
Rev. H. II. Wyckoff and Hon. 0. F. Jones.
A regular term of the Dodge County
Court, Judge Lamoreux presiding, opened
at juneau yesterday. There are nearly 40
cases on the calendar for trial, among them
several of the Milford Mill-dam cases.
1t has been reported that Judge Pulling
is suffering from softenng OF the brain, and
the report has given rise to the rumor that
it is his intention to resign his position on

At about IL o'clock Monday evening the

the building with the exception of a few
pieces of furniture. The building was a

to $4,000, and was insured in the Phen
of Hartford for $1,000 for the benefit of
mortgage, and is reported to have been in
sured in the Madison Mutual for the further
sum of $500 or $1,000 for the benefit of
subsequent mortgage. MI. Talbot was alb
sent from home all day Monday, but was
expected to return yesterday. About a
year ago factory in Emmett operated by
Mr.. Talbot was destroyed by fire, upon
which he was paid some $500 or $500 for
loss of stock on hand. Owing to lack of
of patronage the Juneau factory was not
operated this season except for the making
of little skim milk cheese, and less than
dozen boxes of cheese only were on hand.
The origin of the fire is as yet mystery,
as there had been no fire in any stove since
o'clock, and the FIRE seems to have first
started from an unoccupied room in the up
per story. The Fire Company again did
good service and by their exertions saved
adjoining property from destr uction.
