England's crop will not supply the
home demand and the high price
abroad will put a stop to purchases
for American breweries. The New
York crop will be short, while in
Wisconsin and California the crops
will not fall much if any below the
average. Under these conditions
the hop-farmers of Wisconsin are
promised large returns once more.
The price has doubled within a short
time for 1881 hops. The best Wis
consin sell for 40 cents in New York
which is a money-making price for
producers. There will be larger
demands both at home and abroad
for 1892 Wisconsin hops.

The food at Mazomsuis on Mon
day OF last week is said to have
been the greatest eseC known ia that
valley; when tho water Was at its
height, it was Is inches higher than
Mazo's great food Of seventeen years
ago.
Martin Coleman, whose prelim
mary eXamip alton for the supposed
murder Of his mother, Mrs. Driscoll,
for the past week, was on Monday
bound over to appear at the next
tenn OF the circuit court; nothing
but circumstantial evidence was pro-
duced; bail, $1,000.
Mrs. Sam'l Clarke, the wife of
wealthy farmer living on tho Albion
Prairie near Edgerton, in Rock Co.,
took dose of arst mic last Thurs

after.
Malignant diptheria is prevalent
at Gratiot; one family has just been

On Tuesday Of last week, James
Brunker, Jr., of Ridgeway, had a
close call from lightning, the
bolt striking the chimney, scat
tering the bricks around ia the
loft, then knocking down the
stove pipe, burning holes in various
articles Of tinware, aud shaking
things up generally. but fortunately
leaving the occupants where it came

The heaviest storm of the season
visited US on the night Of the l4tb.
There was comparatively less wind
than in many others, out it VS. Is
night of unceasing rain, startling
thunder and one continuous blaze OF
lightning. The main storm hung in
the east for four hours before paying
its respects to US, aud when it came
it shifted to every point of the com
pass and came down in floods. AS
yet, no reports of damages have
reached US, but from its extent aud
magnitude much damage to grain
must inevitably follow.
LATER.-Siuce writing the above,
the food has come in force, raising
the Mound creek at the railroad
bridge higher than it was in the
great overflow ia June. This time
it reached the sand ridge west OF
the Tom Jones' crossing, and the
water could be plainly seen from the
Ben Hodgson's crossing, just east o.
the town. 1t also reached the dwell
ing Of Christian Hoffman, three
quarters of mile from the creek
bed, and had not the railroad EN-.
baukment broke at an early stage OF
the rise, the WAFER would have been
brought into the village. This Incl
deut confirms the fact that the pl opo-
stion to turn the Black Earth and
Mound creeks through the village,
and thus secure a splendid water
power, is feasible. The railroad is
destroyed in many places, and
although the break is not nearly so
long as that of June, yet very much
damage is done both here and east
of this place, to the railroad and
crops. Telegraphic communication
is broken beyond Mazomanie, and
we have no particulars of the raw

The Democratic journals III this
Congressional district seem to both
cr themselves because, IS they say,
the contest for the Republican nom
ination has narrowed down to Hazel
ton and keyos. Why not attend to
their own camp-meeting, instead OF
devoting SO much space to matters
that are SO disgusting to them, as
they claim? Simply because they
have go candidate and the nomina-
ton in their party has narrowed
down to nothing, and like parties
who have no business of their own
must continually interfere with the
affairs of others.

AT least. small gram IL ABOUT al
harvested in this vicinity, and the
crop is reported fully up to the
average.
One death by drowning during
the past week has to be recorded.
The victim was youth of Is, a
resident of Milwaukee, who was
here studying law. With a com
panion he was in canoe on Lake
Monona, fishing. The canoe was
accidentally upset when about 100
rods from shore. The deceased
started to swim to land, and having
made half the distance, sank to rise
no more. His companion who could
not swim, chung to the capsized boat
and was saved.
As yet no sufficient supply of
water has been found for city water
works. Il, The contractor has aban-
doned two wells after boring several
hundred feet without the desired
result. Many begin to fear that
water will not be obtained by well,
and that recourse will have to be
had to the lake for the supply need
ed. Most of the pipes and hydrants
are in place, and the indications now
are that the works will be in readi-
ness before water is provided to
supply them.
Marked activity in political circles
has prevailed for ten days past, and
still prevails here. The withdrawal
of Bryant from the contest for
Congressional honors left Reyes ar
almost undisputed field, locally-and
as was generally anticipated, he has
already secured enough of the prim-
aries to insure him solid delegation
from this county. Hazelton has a
few friends here, who will make
some effort in his behalf, and who
are hopeful Of securing one or two
assembly districts for him, Shrewd
local politicians however, are skep-
teal on that point. The first district
convention held in this city Friday
evening was unanimous for keyes,
aud no caucus in the rural towns yet
heard from is different.
Reyes friends confidently claim
Green county to be for him as solid
ly as Dane. Counter claims, how
ever, seem to justify a belief that
Hazelton has reasonable hope of
securing one district in Green. No
claims are made that the ex-boss viii
receive any support from Grant,
Iowa or Lafayette, but they argue
that, with Green and Dane, they
will lack but two votes of ma
iority in the convention, and that
they have good reason to hope that
the other three counties Will not be
unit for Mr.. lla2elton, and unless
they are he will enter the conven
ton no stronger than Reyes. These
"claims" and speculatious are pre-
scented for the information of "whou

TIE ire of the average SanFran-
cisco person is aroused against the
United States Court which has de-
clared to be unconstitutional an act
of the supervisors prohibiting the
Chinese from carrying on the laun.
dry business. The court bases its
decision on the ground that "the
business of laundry is not agai st
good morals; it is not offens We to
the senses; it is not dangerous to
public safety or health" The sand
lot politicians, on the other hand,
find that clean shirts are in no sense
Il necessity; that large portion of
the earnings Of the community goes
to enrich Chinese washermen; and
they hold that if the laundry were
abolished the community would
have more money to spend for the
necessaries of life-such as whisky.
A rehearing of the case is promised.
LAST week there WAS held in Chi
cago convention of Western dis
tillers, at which grounds were taken
in favor of Gan orderly Sabbath and
a license fee high enough to close
up large number of the lower
order of drinking places" In this
action can be seen the fact that the
distillers are wise in their day and
generation. They have looked
abroad over the land, and are taking
time by the forelock. The senti.
ment concerning an orderly Sabbath
is one that takes deep root in the
American mind and character, a
precept handed down from the days
of the good old Puritans, and the
distillers have not lost sight of the
fact.
