Koerner & Krause stock of boots and

a stock while they are going SO cheap

Some look upon the resolutions OF
the Hancock and English guards as a
burlesque, but in an article elsewhere we
have given the gurrds credit for sincere
desire to keep their democratic brethren
from disturbing republican meetings.
Two children of Mr. and Mrs. G. F.

and Yesterday two deer were received
here from him, victims Of his unerring aim,

hundred and thirty-two pounds which

McGeean on the West side.
The sidewalk to Oak Hill Cemetery
was completed last week and pedestrians
in any kind of weather will now find it
a pleasant and easy task to reach that
beautiful spot. The completion of the
work reflects great credit upon the Gene
terry Association. 1t is not an eXaggera-
ton to say that no better improvement
has ever been made in the city than this
one.
Rev. w. Teal returned from pro-
traeted session of the annual Conference

William Schultz, the genial and
popular republican candidate for treas
urer, will receive a large vote in this city.
He is man who possesses excellent quail
fications for the position for which he is
nominated, and we hope to be able to
chronicle bis election in our next issue.
Vote for William Schultz, for county
treasurer, and secure good man to han
die the funds of the county.
Hon. J. D. Bullock, of Johnson
Creek, was nominated for the assembly
in the second district at the republican
convention on the 22d inst. Mr.. Bullock
has served three terms in the legislature
and his district is so we'll satisfied that
they propose to send him again. w. w.
Woodman is the democratic nominee but
Bullock will have no trouble in getting
away with him with rousing majority.
The lunatic who is temporarily in
charge of the boy-woman concern on the
west side begins to show evidence of men
tai decay and he will be sent to Oshkosh
again, probably, after election for the pur-
pose Of resting" him. IT'S WELL
His relatives can keep him cheaper there
than here, and the dicil line and diet is
good for what ails him. Excuse Us for
wasting a few lines on an unworthy OBJ
ject.
AS a personal favor we published
last week a communication touching on
the candidates for treasurer of Dodge
county. This week we publish an arti-
Gle which treats the subject from diff
ferent standpoint. We learn from re-
liable sources that Mr. Schott is a very
competent man and gives his personal
attention to the duties of the office, and
that the charge against him in the arti-
Gle Of last week is unfounded in fact.
The Chicago & Northwestern Rail
way company are stretching out their
lines. By the beginning Of 1881 the
completed lines of the Northwestern road
will foot up the grand total of 8, $50 miles
in length Some idea Of this large amount
of mileage may be formed from the state
ment that to travel over the entire road
would take seven days and nights of
travel at the rate of twenty miles per
hour without moments pause.
Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Myers, of the
town Of Emmett, celebrated their silver

by relatives and friends in Milwaukee
and Cleveland, who were Enabled to be
present on the occasion.
