FO6Cer MdJOTlCy Will IsSoSh 0O,OOS
COLUMBUS, Oct. 16-Few new

by either committee, but the Republi-
can Committee, after gathering returns
from various sources, report tonight
that, according to their figures, Fos-
ter's majority will be somewhere near

some days, to decide definitely what
the exact majority will be.

Mounts, Republican candidate for
Senator in the Butler-W Warren district,
had been defeated by one vote, but
this afternoon the Republican COM
mittee have been notified that he is
elected by twelve of majority. This

seventy members of the lower House.

eighty eight counties give Foster, Rep,

THAT. the fools are not all dead yet
was proven the other day by Mr.. John
Walker, of Armstrong county. Being
desirous of making money in an easy
manner, he provided himself with
500 and went to Pittsburgh where,
he was told by a friend, he would
give him in exchange for it 81 900 in
well executed counterfeit He met
the man at hotel, went to a room,
gave him the 500 and received a
satchel which the man said contained
the $1,000. The stranger then said he
must catch the next train to New
York, disappeared, and when Walker
opened the satchel he found it empty.
Nodoubt he will hereafter be satisfied to
make money in the old fashioned way.

time it is as easily cured as wart or corn.
We know very well that it is fearful disease

is if it is neglected but if it is attended to
when it first makes its appearance, or soon
after, there is no trouble in eradicating 1t
from the system. Persons viii have to be here

Il W0HGe7'eT'S Return.

Alfred P. Lister, the long absent son
of Mr.. and Mrs. William Lister, of the
Third ward, returned to the parental
roof last Friday. Just five years ago
now Alfred started out into the world
having become a little piqued over some
structures at home. He was then at the
tender and susceptible age of thirteen
years, rather young to commence life's
battle without a father and mothers aid
and advice. Within the two first years
of his ramblings he visited here az cog,
but was SO resolute as not to enter the
door of his home although it would have
been opened wide to receive him. Finally
all trace Of him was lost by his family
and friends and Alfred was about given
up for dead causing his poor mother
much anguish. Last winter his eldest
brother was killed by the cars in Mime
sofa adding an almost intolerable bur
den of misery to the mother. But about
this time a clue to Alfred was found
which being followed up led to his dis
covery in the wilds of Idaho Mr.. and
Mrs. Lister being convinced that their
supposed lost boy had been found their
joy knew no bounds, and the prospective
restoration of their son appeared to them
true beacon of hope which lifted dark
cloud from before their path and infused
In them new courage on life's journey.
AS soon as possible Alfred made his ar
engagements for coming home and started
on the journey from Helena, Montana,
where some months before he had been
| laid up with broken limb. He went
through an almost trackless wilderness to
Fort Benton on horseback, and at that
point took the boat down the Missouri
arriving in this city as before stated.

Jefferson COetntY Fair.

The annual exhibition of the Jefferson
County Agricultural Society held last
week at Jefferson, was a fine success in
all its details rejecting credit upon the
officers and managers. Wednesday, which
was known as "school day., the crowd
was immense, it is said exceeding in num-
bers the attendance Of any day during
former fairs of the society. Thursday the
attendance was lighter but it swelled to
large proportions again on Friday the last
day. The only real drawback was the
failure of the balloon ascensions. We'd
nesday there was no ascension but Thurs
afternoon Prof Clarke made a splendid
ascension attaining a great altitude and
descending at Palmyra Is miles distant,
making the journey in 40 minutes. Much
to the regret Of the society Prof. Clark
was unable to initiate his balloon time
enough to ascend to the clouds Friday as
announced, and large numbers left the
grounds greatly disappointed. The So
ciety did all in their power to have the
balloon ascensions take place as advertis-
ed and in no way can be held responsible
for the failure. In the stock department
there was a better showing over any
former year, notably in neat cattle. There
was fine exhibit of farm products and
the butter and cheese show was the best
ever seen in Jefferson county. The Edam,
Italian, iHleChampion and Cheshire var
ieties of cheese manufactured in the vicin-
ity Of Lake Mills for Smith and Under
hill, of New York, under the supervision
of W. w. Ingram, for the West India
Market won many admirers. In poultry
the display was excellent, far better and
larger than usually seen at county fairs.
An interesting feature of the fair was the
educational department under the care of
Prof. C.L.Hubbs, ofLake Mills, in which
were exhibited specimens of drawing,
writing and other branches of Jefferson
county scholars The exhibit of farm
machinery was large. The society pro-
vided a pleasant line of amusements and
sport for the entertainment of their visi-
tors which included some good time made
on the track. The members of the JEFF
ferson County Agricultural society have
certainly reason to congratulate them
selves On the success that attended their
efforts this year in all respects.

Il Queer Logging Pace.

He was an able-bodied free luncher
with all the name implies and was never
known to let free lunch entertainment
pass without assisting in the destruction
thereof. He also partakes of little of the
frothy beverage, just to wash down the
rye bread and sausage, you know. One
OF our Main street saloons gave an open
ing Saturday night, and of course the
person aforesaid was there. Contrary to
his usual custom he had partaken of his
wet groceries very early, for he was very
much overcome with grief when he came
into the free lunch saloon. Making him
self at home as he always does on such
occasions he called for "swi lager" and
gave himself up to the festivities of the
occasion. After enjoying himself fora while
as only professional free luncher can,
he sailed out of the back door About
II clock, after the saloon had been
closed and the keeper had gone to bed
noise was heard like the whining of
dog. The proprietor thinking some brute
was in trouble got up and went in quest
of the noise. Finding that it proceed
ed from the privy he entered, and lo and
behold, there was our free luncher up to
his armpits in the vault, facing to the rear,
in which place he had been enjoying
himself for nearly two hours Two strong
men pulled him from the place he had
selected for nights lodging, took him
to the. river, where he was astonished by
an introduction to water. After perform
ing his additions, he was given a piece
of Limburger to sweeten his breath, furn-
ished another to show in case he should be
asked if modification had set in, and
started on his way home, wiser if not a
sweeter man. The moral to this tale is
that it is better to tell lie than the truth,
and so we shall say that the hero of
this sketch is not an alderman, and
does not live in this city.

RNitTo0R Prospects.


1t is generally known that the Chicago
and Northwestern Railroad are determin-
eel to build road from Madison or Lodi
to Milwaukee, so as to handle with greater
ease and facility the immense quantities
of grain they receive from Minnesota and
Dakota. Surveys have been made from
Lodi to Milwaukee, but on account of
the heavy grades that route has been
abandoned. Several weeks ago Mr.. John
son, the surveying engineer of the COM
pany, started overland from Madison to
Jefferson. He came through this village
on his way, and from the most reliable
authority we are in position to state that
ne was strongly in favor Of laying out the
road SO as to come within a half mile of
the village on the north, thence running
west to Madison Ii the road is built
through this section of the country, it will
In all probability run to Oconomowoc,
thence to Johnsons Creek, and from
there to Milford and Lake Mills. The
president and general manager of the
road, while they are in favor fof running
through this section of country, have ex-
pressed a determination not to 90 one
mile out of their way for any town after
they have determined on route. It is
stated by persons who have often travelled
the road between Madison and Milwau-
kee that the route now proposed is the
most feasible and easy, that with one or
two exceptions the grades are very light,
and that heavy cuts can be entirely
avoided. Therefore should the company
in building the road be determined by
its facilities for light grades and general
desire of the people to meet such pro-
ject with iberality and assistance, they
will certainly come within a reasonable
Of this village
The people Of this community are evil
IDENTIFY determined to have railroad at
once, and should the Northwestern con-
clude that better route can be found
than the once referred to, company
will be organized during the fall for the
purpose of constructing a branch from
here to Watertown to connect with the
Milwaukee & St. Paul at that place. In
fact, as soon as Mr. Mitchell, the presi-
dent of the road, returns from Europe,
a joint delegation from Watertown, Mil
ford and this village will wait upon him
with certain propositions which will
doubtless be satisfactory to all parties.
Therefore it will not make very much
difference if the Northwestern should
conclude not to build through this village
although we should be highly pleased to
see the Northwestern road built to here
