President Arthur's Inaugural Address

|
After taking the oath of Office administered
by Chief Justice Waite in the marble room of
the capitol, IN presence of the members of the
cabinet and justices of the supreme court,
President Arthur read from manuscript the
following inaugural address;
"For the fourth time in the history of the
republic its chief magistrate has been removed
| by death All hearts are filled with grief and
horror at the hideous crime which has dark
ened our land, and the memory of our muir
| dered president, his protracted sufferings, his
lunyielding iOrtitude, the example and achieve
ments of his life, and the pathos of his death
will forever illume the pages of our history.
"For the fourth time the officer elected by
| the people and ordained by the constitution
| to fill the vacancy so created Is called to as
sumo the executive chair. The wisdom of our
fathers foreseelng even the most dire pOssibil-
titles, made sure that the government should
never be imperiled because of the uncertainty
of human lite. Men may die, but the fabrics
of our free institutions remain mistaken. No
higher or more assuring proof could exist of
the strength and permanency of popular gov
eminent than the fact that, though the chosen
of the people be struck down, his cOnstitu
tional successor is peacefully installed with
out shock or strain, except the sorrow which
mourns the bereavement. All the noble aspl-
ratlons of my lamented predecessor which
found expression in his life; the measures de-
vlsed and suggested during his brief admin
istration to correct abuses and enforce econ
omy; TO advance the prosperity and promote
the general welfare; 10 insure domestic secu-
rity and maintain friendly and honorable re
latlons with the nations of the earth, Will be
garnered in the hearts of the people, and it
will be my earnest endeavor to profit, and see
that the nation shall profit, by his example
and experience. Prosperity blesses our coun-
try; our fiscal policy Is fixed by law, is well
grounded, and generally approved. Nothreat-
enlng issue mars our foreign intercourse, and
the wisdom, integrity, and thr' fl of our people
may be trusted to continue undisturbed the
present assured career Of peace, fraternity, and
welfare, The gloom and anxiety which have
enshrouded the country must make repose es-
pecially welcome now. No demand for speedy
legislation has been heard; no adequate occa-
sion for an unusual session of congress. The
constitution defines the functions and powers
of the executive as clearly rs those OF either of
the other departments of the government and
he must answer for the just exercise of the dis
cretion il permits and the performance of the
duties it imposes. Summoned TO those high
duties and responsibilities, and profoundly
conscious of their magnitude and gravity, l
assume the trust imposed by the constitution,
relying for aid on divine guidance, and the
virtue, patriotism, and intelligence of the Am
erican people"

A Mayor shot as u Thief.

On the morning of the 2lst inst Dr., Henry
G. Cole, mayor Of kokoma, Indiana, has touEC
dead on the common near that town with sew
cral holes in his body. 1t very socn came Il
light that the Doctor had been sibt during
the previous night by the sherilNs pdse, while
in the act Of robbinE u mill The telegraph
account says:
For years Cole Las been suspcC,cdot crook

was shot the sherills posse was wat,hing the
Spring mills, having had an intimFion that
the doctor intended that night to robthe mill
He had an omplce-supposc 10 lave been
a United States dGtectlve-wl,h hlI. They
had carried four sacks OF flour from the mill
when fire was opened on DR. Cole csulting
in his instant death. He WAS shot nfve diff.
ferent places, the neck, both legs, he right
arm and the back The shot that enercd the
back was the fatal one The coroners verdict
was to the effect that Cole came to lis death
from gun shot wounds at the hanGs 81 officers
of the law in the discharge Of their tiles,
Mayor Coles funeral occurred ncXttlay, and
was very largely attended. He wal very
prominent citizen, having quite a iotorety
throughout the state. He was eectd mayor
of Kokomo at the election last spr hg by a
handsome majority, although the cltyis large
ly against him in politics.
Public feeling Is very outspoken int The mat
ter. Many rumors are afloat, and tlt public
will not be satisfied or quoted unl most
searching examination is had. Coles friends
claim that he was the victim of a colsplracy
and allege the fact that those who WEE instru

Shall ace haze the Factory?

The effort to organize stock company
for the manufacture of Bowen's Spring
Bed Bottoms has met with some success,
but there is something still to be done III
the way of subscribing for stock before
the work can go on. 1t is proposed to
raise capital stock of $4,000, 40 per
cent. of which shall be paid in. Some
thing over three quarters of the stock has
been taken, which includes a portion
taken by Mr.. Bowen himself. The bal
ance seems to hang fire and it really looks
betimes as if the project would fall through
just for want of little enterprise to car
ry it forward. We can hardly believe
that this manufacturing scheme, requir-
ing so little capital in proportion to the
number of persons it employees, will be
allowed to fail and through our folly
some other town given the fine oppor
tunity it affords of building up paying
business enterprise, benefitting to labor
and capital alike. We trust our citizens
will enquire into this matter and see that
it's complete consummation is effected.
If Mr. Bowen is allowed to leave this
city without locating factory here it
will be matter greatly to be deplored.
We are firmly of the opinion that the or
ganization of this manufacturing enter
prise would be followed right along by
others, and this is what the city of Wa
tertown wants, if there ever was place
that wanted it.

The Burr Robbins Allied Railroad
Shows will exhibit in this city Tuesday,
October 18th, giving two performances,
afternoon and evening. Mr.. Robbins
comes here with his circus at the close of
a most successful season. The Robbins
Combination is acknowledged to be one
of the finest shows travelling on the con-
tinent Nothing is advertised by Mr..
Robbins which is not to be seen under
his canvas and number of leading at
fractions people know nothing about I'M
til their visit to his show. The Robbins
concern, therefore,3is in strong contrast
with the majority of those on the road in
the fact that it exhibits more than it adj
vertises while most of other shows
advertise more than can be shown
when the time comes for the exhibition.
Burr Robbins has magnificent ring ex-
hibition and his menagerie department
contains some of the rarest and finest
specimen of the animal kingdom The
street parade of the Allied Railroad
Shows forms splendid pageant, well
worth coming miles to see. Tuesday,
October 18th, may be set down as gala
day for Watertown and vicinity.
From a number of press notices regard
ing Mr. Robbins great show we take
pleasure in publishing the following from
the Louisville Commercial of May 18th,
1881:
The Burr Robbins and Colvin Circus
and Menagerie gave an entertainment at
o'clock and again at 8 o'clock yesterday,
on the Kean lot, corner of Sixteenth and
Kentucky streets, to an immense collec-
ton of people. The street parade which
preceded these exhibitions amused and
interested the vast throngs which it pass
ed and met everywhere on its long course
of streets. But beneath the canvass this
great combination capped the climax and
actually enchanted thousands who wit
messed the performances. The
acrobats, the performers on the
hylhS IIdpcACj lIiG ClOWuS, Tic Tlu6IS
and trained horses, bulls and dogs-in
fact everything that performed, whether
man or beast-drew from the crowd the
highest applause. The bareback riding
by Charles w. Fish was seldom equaled
and never surpassed. The performing
dogs were wonderful. The giant horse,
measuring twenty-one hands high and
weighing $3.50 pounds, is also wonder
well worth seeing, Visitors to this show
will have an opportunity of seeing one of
the rarest specimens of natural history
the great blood-sweating behemoth spoken
of in holy writ, besides the gnu, the ibex,
the kangaroo and host Of lions, tigers,
bears and rare beasts. The show people
are attentive, preserve order, and see that
visitors have every attention, and visit
there by day or by night would well re-
pay anyone. When you go don't forget
to take your little ones. There no fax
ers, gamblers, peddlers, pickpockets or
disorderlY persons allowed with this show,
and guests can rely upon having their
persons and property protected.

most enjoyable Entertainments ever given
in Watertown was the Brocolini Comic
Opera, at Turner Hall, Saturday even
ing, and, as is too often the case when a
meritorious performance is rendered here,
the troupe played to very poor house.
Brocolini showed himself master in his
line, and has a superbly rich, full voice.
AS an actor he has few equals. He was
well supported and altogether the com
pany deserved far better patronage than
they received.

DODGE County FAIR-The chief

DODGE COUNTY R.-The chief
point Of interest this week is the Dodge
County Fair, which is being held at the
village of Juneau. Among the attrac-
tons is the great monster whale 60 feet
long, and weighing $4,000 pounds. This
feature of the exhibition should insure
the largest attendance at any fair in the
interior of Wisconsin. The show of stock
and agricultural products, we understand,
is very fine. To-day the reunion of the
Dodge county soldiers will take place,
and among those present are the Gov
ernor and state officers. The fair holds
during Thursday and Friday.

This peculiar arrangement Of tues in the

time. The hampers are so arranged that di-
rect draft over the ovens and directly under the

BY closing the direct draft damper the current
of heat s.reverted from the smoke pipe, but still
passes under the boiler holes before it enters the
downward fue in front Of the oven, thence It
passes directly under the oven when used for
baking, and up the back sheet fiue to the smoke
pipe. When the oven is not in use the current
Of heat may be diverted into the base fGes Of the
stove. assuming the same course as in the stowe
without the oven attachment, until it again
reaches the bottom fue Of the oven when 1T
passes under and up the back of the oven into
