NOTHING has been said or written
in the last fortnight that has had so
wide circulation as the card written
by George Washington, Esq, and
published Ia the CHRONICLE. 1t has
been copied into several of the leading
metropolitan dailies and extracts and
comments made in nearly all of them.
There is hardly newspaper in Ten
nessee that has not discussed it. Some
of the democratic papers approve and
others condemn it, but none have an
swered its arguments. Being only q
private citizen and not an aspirant for
office he certainly has right to feel
complimented at the attention his ut
terances have attracted.

The MADISON II. Il

Our citizens will be gratifed to know
that every obstacle to the immediate con-
struction of the Chicago and Northwest
ern connecting link from Madison to Mil
waukee has been adjusted, and it is I'M
derstood that the road will be put under
contract by August 1st. President Keep
met President Mitchell last Saturday and
the very troublesome difficulty of deter
mining where their new road should cross
the St. Paul track on the South Side was
amicably settled.
We understand that permission to cross
at Washington street was granted, where
the Northwestern engineers thought it
best for their track to cross, but under
what restrictions and what terms, is not
yet definitely known. The crossing at
Washington street will enable the COM
pany to make nearly a straight line to
Waukesha, the distance of which will be
about seventeen miles, over which trains
can be run in forty-fve minutes. The
length of the new line from Milwaukee
to Madison will be about y miles, and
can be traversed in three hours W5scon-

Burglars 1rOa,ad.

About two o'clock last Thursday morn
ing burglars entered the residence OF
Daniel III. Kusel, in the Fourth ward,
obtaining admission through a parlor
window that had been left up, and stole
valuable gold watch belonging to Mr..
Kusel, spoon holder and dozen solid
silver spoons. Mr. Kusel's pocket book
was also taken, but fortunately it con-
tanned less than a dollar in change. The
residence of Amos Bennett near by was
also visited, doubtless by the same gang,
but a scream from Mr.. Benefits daugh-
ter, who saw one of the thieves, frighten-
ed them away before obtaining any
booty A night or two afterwards
Daniel Jones heard preparations for an
attack upon his premises but threat
from him to shoot caused a retreat. Sat
urday night the residence of John Ford
was intended to be entered judging from
a commotion at one of the blinds, but an
alarm from Mrs. Ford had the effect of
stopping the operations of the midnight
providers.

"One MO1e Unfortunate"

Wednesday morning Of last week the
engine of the $40 freight train going
north on the Chicago q Northwestern
Railway struck a man named David By
bell who was lying on the track near the
residence Of William Slight north of the
city limits in the town of Emmett. Bybell
was lying in such manner as not to be dis
cernible to the engineer until too late to
stop the train The unfortunate man was
badly injured and there being no one near
by to see to him he was taken on the train
to Juneau and placed in the Dodge Coun-
ty Poor House to be cared for. He re-
ceived, proper medical attention but sur
vived his injuries only until Thursday
night Bybell had made his home for d
year or so past in the town Of Emmett with
p Foley, to whom it is said he is related.
He was considerably dissipated and
through Encouragement had come to con-
slider himself an outcast. This fact gives
rise to the suspicion that he contemplate
ed suicide his position on the track when
the train came along going to prove the
idea somewhat. Still there is another
and not altogether an unlikely theory
that he was at the time OF the accident
intoxicated.

CIerE of the Court.

A year ago there was considerable diff
ference of opinion between lawyers and
others as to whether the term of the clerk
of the court expired January l, 1880, or
January |, 1881. The question was a
debatable one then, and is now. The
Watertown Democrat maintained that
the term expires January l, 1881, and
advised the democracy to not put in NOM
nation a candidate for the office of clerk
of the court last fall. But the democracy
to make assurance doubly sure nominal
ed 9. F. Krebs, and he was elected.
Now, if Mr.. Krebs' term, for which he
was elected in November, 1877, expired
January l, 1880, he holds by virtue of
his election last November, until Janu-
airy, 1882 but if on the contrary his
first term does not expire until January,
1881, when the terms of the other county
officers expire, as many claimed year
nullity, and clerk of the court will have
to be elected in November next to fill
the office from January /, 1881, until
January l, 1883. The question will
probably never be settled until taken in
to court, and the republicans ought to
put up clerk of the court to be voted
for in November, whether the democrats
do or not IF he is elected the case can
be taken before the courts and settled
once for ALL 1t is safe to say that Mr..
Krebs will never know when his term of
office expires until the courts have de-
cided the question for him.

ONiflL01,N.

The sad news spread rapidly through
the city Friday afternoon of the death of
Mrs. William d. Sproesser at her home
in the Fourth ward, of puerperal fever,
leaving four children, the youngest a
babe only two days old atthe time of her
decease. Mrs. Sproesser was a lady
greatly beloved for her excellent qualities
of mind and heart, and her loss to her
husband and children is irreparable. She
was called away at the age of 33 years.
Her family have the sympathy of all in
their sad bereavement The remains of
Mrs. Sproesser were followed to the grave
Sunday afternoon by one of the largest
funeral professions ever seen in the city,
testifying strongly to the popular esteem
she was held in by this community where
she and her husband have been So long
and fayorably known.

The Fan, Com ,penced.

We know it is rather early in the day
to commence talking of prospective can
dldates on the county ticket for this fall,
but the fact is the democracs are bestir
ring themselves SO much in advance Of
the ordinary time in getting candidates
into position as to excite considerable
comment. For the Office of sheriff it has
been known for long time that it would
be sought by NJ Cunningham, the pres
ent deputy here of sheriff Brown, and
pins are being set up accordingly after
the old custom. P. n. Waterbury, the
old clerk of the court, and w. I'll. Hake,
the present county clerk, both OF Jeffer-
son, are also working for the position. If
Jefferson does not present more than two
candidates for sheriff she will be
considered more than usually modest by
our democratic brethren. Watertown
cannot be behind her sister city, and so in
addition to lIr. Cunningham, J. Lindon,
the old proprietor of the Lindon House,
comes out square-toed as a candidate
for sheriff and has already entered upon
vigorous campaign for the office, APP
pealing earnestly to his old party friends
for their support. MIR. Lindon is an old
wheel horse in the democratic party and
his candidature means business if it does
not mischief We may expect genuine
circus from this out by our democratic
friends. There viii be large and en-
thuslastic audience to enjoy the perform
ance.
