another SnOaU Storm.

The snow fell briskly Saturday morn
ing and many were apprehensive of an
other blockade with deadlock to rail
reading and business. But as matters
turned out there was no foundation for
their fearful forebodings as the storm
did not prove so much of a shower as
was expected. 1t showed more or less
all day, but most of it melted as it came
down, and therefore did not add to the
snow drifts, nor prove an additional de-
triment to travel. The railroads caught
it little again, however, from the snow
drifting into the cuts. The trains on
the Madison Division were suspended
during the day, but the passenger trains,
on the main line of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee g. st. Paul, and the Chicago &
Northwestern Railways were nearly on
time. The freight trains on the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul were suspended
until Monday.

Jefferson Co. Apportionnent.

The apportionment committee in the
legislature have decided to place Jefer-
son county with Waukesha in one Senate
district and give Jefferson county three
assembly districts, divided as fol-
lows: First district, city of Watertown,
except the 5th and 9th wards,
and Towns of Concord, Ixonia and
Watertown. Second-Towns of Cold
Spring, Pennington, Hebron, Jefferson,
Palmyra and Sullivan. Third-Towns
of Aztalan, Koshkonong, Lake Mills,
Milford, Oakland, Sumner, Waterloo and
WatC rloo Village. This division would
make the First District astoundingly
democratic, the second fighting ground
and the Third slightly republican.

To Public Schools.

To PATRONS OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS:
Much good will always result from a
manifestation of your interest in the prog
ress made by your children.
The teachers of the city are always
glad to have visitors in their school-room,
even although they cannot stay but a
few moments. The effect of such visits
are always manifest in the better be-
havior of the pupils and in the added in
centive to make good progress which is
thus given.
In behalf of the teachers of Union
School No. l, I earnestly request you to
visit the departments which your chill
dren attend, if possible, before this term
closes. Respectfully,
w. ID. PARKER, Prin.

DODGE COUNTY.

JUNEAU, March II, 1881.
Circuit Court, which, owing to the snow
blockade two weeks ago adjourned for
two weeks, is now in session here, but
will probably not occupy over one week.
There is considerable excitement over
the pending election for Circuit judge in
the newly created district consisting of
Dodge, Washington and Ozaukee Coun-
ties. E. C. Lewis, of this place, II. w.
Lander and A. Scott Sloan, of Beaver
Dam, and, as matter of course, j. B.
Hays, of Horizon, are the candidates so
far in the field, with Washington and
Ozaukee counties to hear from. Conven-
ton at Hartford on March %.
Town politics are also beginning to get
lively, and candidates are getting nu-
merous. The anti-treating bill would be OF
some benefit to candidates just now.
Considerable building will be done
in Juneau the coming season. Judge
Lewis will rebuild his burned residence.
F. w. Lueck will build a double brick
store; G. w. Sloan will erect two new
dwelling houses, and several other i'm
provements are spoken of.

Burning of the PGI2ny1'0 Mus

Last Friday evening the Palmyra
Touring mill caught fire from the Chin
ney and burned to the ground. 1t was a
rough, stormy night and made the mea-
ger appliances at hand for such emer-
gencies of even less than ordinary use.
A portion of the flour in the mill was
saved, but large quantity of wheat,
-four and feed, which had accumulated
in consequence of the snow embargo,
was destroyed. But the saddest incident
of all was the burning to death of a young
man named Ezekiel Citing, who lost his
way in the upper part of the mill and
was suffocated by the smoke and heated
air. He had been the first to discover
the fire, and had made every effort to
aid in it's extinguishment. The next
morning his mutilated remains were res
cued from the ruins. Fittings parents
lived in Ottawa; he was attending the
high school at Palmyra and boarded at
the Bidwell House. He bore an excel
lent character and his sad death is great
ly lamented.
The loss on the mill and contents is
estimated at.$15, 900, on which there was
an insurance of only $4,000. The pro-
perty belonged to Ritter and Horton.
The Junior member is William Horton of
this place; Mr.. Ritter is his father-in-
law. Mr.. M. Horton went to Palmyra
last week with $1,000 to buy Mr.. Ritter's
half of the mill, but the trade had not
been perfected at the time of the fire. 1t
is not decided yet whether the mill will
be rebuilt or not Whitewater Regis

Among the foremost m

and enterprising firm OF Menken
Brothers. During the last month
they have trebled the space here
toforc assigned the jobbing depart
ment. But their business has
been growing at such a rate that
more room was a necessity. Dur
ing the past week, this house

When We consider that the

the immense stock carried by this

and such a reliable house to do

mcnding the merchants Of this sec

that we are advising the merchants
for their best interests, and doing
simple justice to the house Of
