the lungs. The deceased was son OF

JUNEAU, April 10, 1881

JUNEAU, April l9, 1881.
B. F. Rider, for the past year or more
a resident of this village, where he re-
moved from Oak Grove, died quite sud
denly early Sunday morning. On Sat
urday he had been in is usual health,
working on Allard & Martins roof, and
while so engaged, in reaching for saw,
broke some vital part inside; was carried
to his home, where he died in his chair
about ten hours later He leaves a widow
and two grown up children.
This community has been terribly af-
ficted by visitation of death during the
past winter. Not less than ten deaths
have occurred here since the beginning
of the year, most of them persons pretty
well advanced in years.
Mrs. s. Arnold, John Barker and Geo.
w Hargraves, who have all been sick
with lung fever and pneumonia, are recov-
ering.
The Presbyterians observed yesterday
in a very appropriate manner. The
church was finely decorated with flowers
and notices, and the service in great part
choral. Owing to the bad condition of
the roads the Rev. S. T. Burleson, the
Episcopal minister, found it impossible
to reach here in time so as to keep his
other appointments.
Village election occurs Oh May Sd. So
far the excitement seems to center on the
election of a upervisor-the representa-
tive of the village on the County Board
A larger number of republicans than ever
before have this year been elected mem
bers of the County Board, and still more
would have been elected had it not been
for the tricks and injustice done last year
in the equalization of the Board, under
the leadership of B. F. Sherman and A.
K. Delany. 1t is hoped that sufficient
number of anti-ring members may be
found on the Board to hold the ring in
check and reduce taxation in the county
for the next year.

Clean Up.

1t is hardly necessary to remind our
citizens that most of the streets and alleys
of our city are in bad shape, and need
cleaning up. If this is attended to now,
we shall soon be in healthy state, and
probably prevent the inroad of many of
those dreadful diseases so common to the
excessive hot weather of our summers
1t behooves every one to attend to this
matter; and not only this, but also to a
thorough cleaning and ventilating of all
cellars, outhouses, &c. Use lime freely.
The health department will be prompt in
rendering every assistance necessary
when sproperly notified. Unsolicited
visitations will be frequently made.

MUtrinaOni05.

Our former townsman, John c.. Ford,
now connected with the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul Railway at Minneapolis,
Minnesota, and Miss Clara M. Fox, of
Columbus, were united in the bonds of
wedlock last Monday evening, April
18th, 1881, the marriage ceremony being
held at the residence of the brides par
ents. The worthy couple were pro-
nounced man and wife by Rev. M. E.
Everz, of the Congregational church, and
the nuptials were witnessed by a large
company of the relatives and friends of
both the con .racting parties, among whom
were number from this city. The bride
and groom looked the embodiment Of
happiness and contentment, and congrat-
ulations were showered upon them over
the suspicious beginning of their welded
life, as witnessed by the bright and joy
Gus occasion that had called SO many to-
gether. 4 beautiful and somewhat novel
feature of the ceremonial was the pres
ence as bridesmaids of six lovely little
girls, ranging in ages from four to six
years, who performed the important du-
ty assigned to them in a winning and
charming manner The bridal pair had
not been overlooked by their relatives
and friends in the way of remembrances
and tokens, as could be seen by the dis
play set forth of wedding presents, costly,
beautiful, useful and ornamental. Mr..
and Mrs. Ford are now passing portion
of their honeymoon at the residence OF
the bridegroom's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Ford, in the First ward, there to
remain for a few days, when they will
take their departure tor Minneapolis,
and settle down to the realities of their
new relations in life.

Damage from Ice and Flood.

In this city serious consequences have
resulted from the break up of the ice in
Rock river and the rise of water that has
followed. During the past four days the
ice has been moving rapidly, and the vol
ume Of water has gradually increased
with quite threatening appearances. Mon
day the floating ice and food broke
away about 20 feet of the Hall bridge,
leading to Oak Hill Cemetery, and caused
so much damage to the Bougbton bridge
as to render it impossible. Yesterday
was an anxious time, caused by the threat
ening aspect of things at Main street
bridge, the structure being crowded all
day with excited spectators. The Street
Commissioners and other city officials,
used every endeavor to prevent the i'm
mense body of ice from doing damage to
the bridge, and at the same time the
strenuous exertions of w. n. Hawkins
and T. G. Werner were directed to the
preservation of their respective buildings,
which stand in the river and have been
menaced with destruction for these many
years. Towards evening the bridge was
closed to the passage of teams by the city
authorities, and watch placed over it.
Meanwhile the large bodies of ice contin-
ued to float down stream, each cake
Earring the bridge from its foundations.
Atabout 1920 o'clock last night the
crisis came, and the structure succumbed to
the great force of the water and masses of
ice, some fifty feet in the centre of the
bridge being torn away, rendering it a
very bad wreck. The Hawkins building
thus far stands all right, and there seems
to be no fears now entertained that it will
be swept away. The Werner building
has settled considerably on the north side
and appears quite rickety, evidently in
great danger of being lifted from it's posi-
ton at any moment. Mr.. Hawkins moved
out Of his building yesterday afternoon,
and the tenants occupying the Werner
block took the same precaution. The
country about here is more or less flooded,
and considerable damage will doubtless
follow. Two spans of the Northwestern
Railroad bridge at Fort Atkinson were
taken out this morning, causing an in
terruption to travel on that road. The
travel on the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul Railway had been interfered with
between Milwaukee and Chicago, but
communication has been restored between
these two points. We believe the road
between here and Milwaukee is all right
