MiIitUrU Picnic.

Attention is called to advertisement in
another column of the first annual picnic
of the Watertown Rifles, which occurs
Aug. 10Th on Concordia Island. The OBJ
ject of the picnic is to secure funds for
the purchase of uniforms, and to assist in
defraying other necessary expenses
which have been incurred in the organi-
cation of the company. A good military
company is an organization in which all
enterprising citizens ought to take enough
interest in to donate something towards
helping the boys on, in one way or an
other. The company has taken this way
of raising funds rather than by personal
solicitation.

The interior of ST. Johns Lutheran
church, on Fifth street, has just left the
hands of Messrs. Straw & Murphy in a
finely renovated condition, pencil and
brush being brought into requisition to
beautify and adorn it. The ceilings and
walls are handsomely frescoed, the colors
and designs being strikingly appropriate,
and the altar and organ have been elab-
orately gilded. The whole interior of
the edifice is greatly improved by the
artistic work, and presents fine appear
ance in its array of gilt and colors.
The German Methodist church is un-
dergoing repainting and regraining by
the same firm, and when the work is fin
ished the building will look brighter and
handsomer than ever before.

DODGE COUNTY.

JUNEAU, August %, $780,
On Thursday morning of last week at
6 o'clock, the residence Of Judge E. G.
Lewis was struck by lightning and en-
tirely consumed. The bolt struck the
building in the southwest corner of the
tower, and, according to the testimony of
several eye-witnesses, several moments
elapsed before it became evident that any
damage had been DONE Smoke was
seen to issue from the tower and the
alarm of fire was Immediately given. In
few minutes the engine was on the
ground and in working order at the els
tern near the court house, and stream
of water was ready to be thrown on the
fire from the top of the windmill in the
rear Of the building, when it was discov-
cred that the clstern was almost entirely
empty, the water having been turned off
early in the spring and never turned on
again. Much valuable time was then
lost in moving the engine to another els
tern, and when this was accomplished
the fire had spread to such an extent in
the main roof of the building that one
stream of water was entirely insufficient,
and the efforts of the fremen were main
ly confined to prevent the spread of the
flames to the jail on the north and the
saloon of F. Walther on the south.
Meanwhile the fire on Mr. Lewis house
was spreading inside, and in the course
of a couple of hours the entire building
was mass of ruins the four walls only
remaining standing By exertions of the
citizens generally all the furniture was
saved, but owing to the hurry and the
rain was of course more or less damaged.
The family, with the exception of the
youngest son and the hired help, were
absent from home, having gone to Chica-
90 the day before, and returned only the
day after the fire, when kilograms had
appraised them of the calamity. Mr..
Lewis, it will be remembered, purchared
the building (the old court house, for
$1,000 in 1878, and had entirely re-
modelled the inside, and partly the out
side also, at cost of probably not less
than $4,000, so that the cost of the entire
building was not less than $1,000. An
insurance in the Etna, of Hartford, to
the amount of $4,000 on the building
covered part of the loss. The citizens
generally express much sympathy with
Mr.. Lewis, who thus for the second time
in the course of less than three years has
lost valuable residence.
1t is proper in this connection to ex-
press the obligations of our citizens to
the Phoenix Fire Company of your city
for the willingness and promptness with
which they responded to the call for as
sistance from here. When it was found
that it was impossible for them to reach
here till o'clock, it became evident that
further exertions on their part would be
futile, and by that time the fire had &C
complished its work.
The fact that there was no water in
the county cistern is another evidence OF
the reckless carelessness with which our
county affairs are managed. Either the
cistern leaked badly, fact that ought to
have been discovered long ago, or it was
almost criminal carelessness on the part
of some official not to see that the water
was properly turned on.

The MUdiSOil Branch.

E. H. Brodhead of Milwaukee has in
terested himself in securing the right of
way through Milwaukee County for the
Milwaukee & Madison Branch of the Chi
cago and Northwestern road. Through
his agency he has made all the contracts
with property owners on the proposed
route at saving of perhaps 100000 to
the company, and as fast as the land is
conveyed to the railroad company they
are settling with the owners. The amount
to be paid by the company is not stated
1t is expected that the settlements with
all property owners along the line from
Milwaukee to Madison will be so far COM
pleted as to allow the company to place
the road under contract by the middle of
September.

A good story is told of Second AID
ventist whose leanings politically are
democratic, but who has become alarmed
at the probable consequences if "the solid
south" wins, and has cried halt. He
was lately asked why he did not attend
meeting of the Hancock club, and he
soberly replied: ~ had some idea of
going, but then stopped and thought that
if 1 went, and the Lord should come and
find me in that crowd, I should feel aw-
full bad" Of course, he meant no disre-
spect personally to the members of the
club, but was simply manifesting his dis
appreciation of their aims and purposes.
He will vote for Garfield.

AND THEN ON THIS.

The constitutional lawyer is a man
who continually PIRATES about law, but
knows no more of it than Digger In
dian. He carries less brains than clam
and his head is as solid as billiard ball.
He never opens his mouth that he don't
put his foot in it. Heis an animated au-
tomaton, whose chief characteristic is to
talk nonsense. You could as easily drive
an idea into the head of bronze goddess
of liberty as into his He is a freak of
nature which an inscrutable providence
placed on earth to punish mankind for
its many sins. The fewer constitutional
lawyers community has the better, es-
pecially if it is blessed with debt. The
saloon lawyer, so-called, is white man
compared with the other-a man who
while ne may not always be on the right
side, has at least some sense of honor.
His word can usually be depended on
and he can generally give a reason for the
faith that is in him. His enemies will
not say that he is always actuated by sell
fish motives or that he strikes in the dark.
The correspondent is informed that the
saloon lawyer, so-called is much the most
satisfactory man to tie to.

which he lives, and who leads quiet, industri.
Gus and blameless life. The saloon lawyer is an
unprincipled blatherskite, an alarmist and incen.

occupied in going from saloon to saloon, spout

tiles were freely quoted, and the subject
received a thorough handling on both
sides. The disposition in this society seems
to be to discuss questions Of practical i'll

the theme for next Wednesdays debate,
upon which occasion Prois. Roberts and
