Morgan J. Davies departed this life at
his home in the Third ward early Satur-
day morning, August..2Sth, 1880, in the
twenty-fifth year of his age, of bronchial
consumption. In failing health for the
past three years everything possible was
done to stay the progress of his insidious
disease, but without avail. A trip to Flori-
da was tried which brought no relief and
subsequently sojourn in Colorado with
the same result. The deceased was at
one time connected with the Milwaukee
branch of Dun's Mercantile Agency and
his last work was done for the same house
in Chicago. Morgan was beloved by all
who knew him and popular with his as
sociates for his quiet demeanor and social
ways. Cut down in the flower of his
youth his untimely death brings a pang
of deep sorrow to devoted mother, a
loving sister and brother and a wide cir
Gle of friends His funeral was held at
his late home Monday afternoon, Rev. H.

w. D. Hoard, of the Fl. Atkinson
Union, will talk to the republicans at the
Garfield & Arthur club rooms next Satur-
day evening on the political issues of the
day. Mr.. Hoard is wei known to most
of our citizens as man of genius. He
is good speaker, and those who remain
away will miss treat. We trust the re-
publicans will make it point to attend
the regular meetings of the Garfield u
Arthur club Saturday evenings. The
hall ought to be packed to hear Mr..
Hoard.
Rev. G. Haddock, formerly pastor of
the Methodist church in this city, has re-
signed his position at Waupaca, where he
has been stationed for the past two or
three years as pastor of the Congrega-
tional church. An exchange says that
he resigned "on account of the substan-
tiated rumor that he had inflicted corpor
al punishment too frequently and too Sc
verely upon two year-old infant daugh-
ter" Mr. Haddock says in paper that
the punishment was not the reason he
resigned, though he admitted that he had
corrected the child somewhat.
The Chicago & Northwestern Rail
way Company have let the contract for
building the extension of their line from
Milwaukee to Madison to the firm of
Wells, Harrison & Shute, of Milwaukee.
The same firm are building portion of
the line west of Madison, making l45
miles of road under contract. The work
being heavy it will be prosecuted all
winter to insure its completion in the
early spring. The right of way through
this county has been secured and pay
ments in settlement made.
1t is rumored that F. P Brook, of Watertown,
would accept the nomination of senator at the
hands of the democratic convention. All we
have to say about that is, that we hope he won't
get the nomination.. The dickens of it is that he
would be elected, and that is just what we re-
Puol1cans don't want to see-the election OF
democrat. Personally we should very much like
to see Mr.. Brook take the cake. He is an able
man but he is-a democrat.-Jeferson h'dpend-
ent.
1t is safe to say that Mr.. Brook will
not be nominated The democrats can
be depended on to nominate some man
who cannot be elected.
The machinists in the shops of c. NJ.
& St. ?. Ry. in Milwaukee struck for an
increase of ten per cent in their wages
last Thursday. The strikers, ..over 100 in
number, have held meetings and appoint
ed committees to confer with the map
ayers of the company but no understand
ing between the company and men has
been arrived at. The men claim that
they are not paid as much the same class
of workmen receive from other companies.
This however is denied by the managers
of the road, The shops have been parti-
ally shut down but the company does
not show any disposition to yield, and
the men seem to be equally stubborn in
their demands. The difficulty will prob
ably be arranged in some way this week.

man in the north part of Clyman were
completely destroyed by fire on Saturday
last. The threshers had just finished
their work and had moved off to another
place, and shortly after the barn was en-
veloped in flames. 1t is supposed that
some of the threshers had carelessly lit a
pipe and thrown the match in the barn,
as no other cause can be assigned. All
the grain newly threshed, hay and all
the farming tools were destroyed. The
barn had been built only during the
present season. No insurance.

of twenty-five years experience who as
actor and gentleman, has hosts Of friends
wherever he is known. All Of his per-

Balloon discussions

The grand balloon ascensions which
the officers of the Central Wisconsin Fair
have arranged for during three days of
the exhibition at considerable time and
expense, will be we'll worth travelling a
long way to see. AS may be inferred
from the contract entered into between
the aronaut and the Central Fair officers,
which we published last week, these as
tensions are no humbugs, and nothing
short of unfavorable weather preventing
balloon to rise for scientific reasons,
will cause disappointment. These aerial
voyages will be made by either Professor
Stadden or Professor Gould in the MAN.

one of the handsomest and most power
full ever constructed; is Is feet high by

fated 100000 feet of ascending power
and its flight through the air is one Of
the most wonderful sights ever witnessed
The old method of ascending in basket
attached to the ship is dispensed with,
and the aeronaut sails away into
the clouds clinging to a single bar, but
three-quarters of an inch in diameter
and twenty-four inches long. The per-
formance on the trapeze during the voy-
age is one Of the most startling efforts
ever witnessed, and will be remembered
for a lifetime. 1t will be very instruct

monster balloon and its ascent. Every
