The decision of the United States
Supreme Court in the case of the Nor
mon Miles, makes it plain that polyg-
amy cannot be broken up under the
present laws. The progress of the
case up to this point had given rise to
hopes that the Courts might, after all
by rigorous enforcement of the law, be
able to put check on this growing
evil. Miles. who was clearly polyg-
amist if ever there was one, was con-
victed of bigamy in the District Court
of Utah. 1t was recognized as a test
case. and the result was hailed with
JOY by the enemies of the abomination
which Miles represented. He appealed
to the Territorial Supreme Court, and
the conviction Was affirmed, a second
triumph for good morals He appeal
ed then to the United States Supreme
Court, which has now set aside the
lower ruling and accorded a new trial.
| his was done on the ground that,
while the District Court did right in
refusing to allow Mormons to sit on
the jury. it did wrong in permitting
Miles second wife to testify in proof
of his first marriage. The second wife
was considered wife in the eyes of
the law, hence could not be used as a
witness against her husband And as
the same rule would apply equally to
the first wife, it is clear that the case
must go by default for want of proof

JUNEAU, Jan. 4th, 1880.
The county officers elect took posses
sion of their offices on Monday last with
the exception of Sheriff elect Becker who
is sick with infammatory rheumatism at
his home in Rubicon.
Considerable Indignation is expressed
in democratic circles over the appoint
ment of ex-Rev Fack of Jefferson coun-
ty as Deputy Register of Deeds. It was
generally supposed that Dodge County
could furnish some suitable individual
even if he had to be democrat, for that
insignificant Office, without making it
necessary to import a man, who is not
even voter in the state The republic
ans are still less pleased at the appoint
ment, as Mr.. Fack last fall made himself
conspicuous by his low, dirty, lying at
tacks upon republicans, while engaged
as democratic stump speaker in his
county.
County Court Hon. S. w. Lamoreux
presiding, opened on Monday, and will
remain in session during all of this week
Or until the calendar is exhausted.

Second Street B2,i60e.

Some complaint has been made against
the committee on Streets and Bridges or
its Chairman for the haste in cOmmenc-
ing the repairs of Second street bridge.
The plea in defense is that it would de-
lay-the matter too long to wait and adver-
tise for proposals to do the work as the
bridge is now in precarious condition and
liable to go out as soon as the ice moves.
The work proposed to be done can be done
much cheaper when the ice is in than
when the ice is out Notwithstanding
the contractor for cuti ing the ice has been
busy the bridge has gone up from l to
3 feet and the prospects are that it will
take its exit as the previous ones have
done unless the utmost care is taken to
prevent. These bridges have been built
at this place. The first was a frame or
bent bridge The second was pile
bridge and it was supposed that the piles
were not driven deep enough and the
precaution was taken to drive the piles
of the present bridge from 6 to 9 feet but
it is of no avail the extreme rise and tall
of water at this place brings them up and
it will soon follow its predecessors down
stream. 1t is proposed to wall and fill in
some two hundred feet from the natural
channel to the banks of the river at
cost less than one half of what iron would
cost and the repairs for one hundred years
to the same, will cost less than the cut
ting of ice around it the present winter.
The balance of the bridge if kept clear of
ice and the piles if driven back in the
spring may last some time yet. Dodge

the expense providing as | understand
that the city expend three times that
amount and it would be poor policy to
abandon SO important an improvement
to the city at the present time. J.P.

The winter term of the public schools

The winter term of the public schools
began Monday with larger attendance
of scholars than during the previous term
A rise in the thermometer of some
twenty five degrees within as many hours
together with clear skies and genial sun
shine, conspired to render New Years
here as suspicious and pleasant as could
be. Business generally was suspended
and the customary calling was observed
by some, principally by the younger por-
ton OF the community.
The present unanimity of feeling
! among our citizens favoring measures
that shall give renewed activity and life
to business interests here We regard as a
most encouraging sign for Watertown,
and let us hope that this year will wit
ness the dawn of more prosperous era
to our city A determined and united
effort among us in the right direction will
accomplish many things for the benefit
of this city, and place matterson very
different footing from what they are in at
the present time.
The accommodation train on the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway going
south, which leaves this city at $40 A.
Nj. was thrown from the track last Satur-
day morning, near Koshkonong by a
broken rail Four freight cars, the
baggage car and passenger coach left the
rails, and were overturned. Several of
the passengers were hurt among them
Elder Mead, of the Methodist church,
had his shoulder dislocated and William
Henke, of this city, baggage man received
painful injuries about the spine, but is
now recovering rapidly.
The team of n. w. Pie ce broke
from hitching post in front of Schoe-
chert's feed store on the West side, last
Thursday evening, at eight o'clock and
started across the bridge dashing up
Main street and were lost sight of going
in an easterly direction The team were
seen about nine o'clock running at full
speed through Ixonia Centre which is the
last heard of them. A piece ofthe spring
of the wagon has been picked up in that
locality, but further trace is lost of the
property making it altogether one of the
most remarkable runaways ever known
in this community. Mr.. Pierce has been
diligent in making enquiries about the
horses and has searched for them in a
number of places but thus far without
any success
