JUNEAU.

In view of the fact that the Clerk of
the Court of Dodge county advertises to
be in certain localities on specified days
for the purpose of issuing declaration
papers ("frst papers, it is well for all
interested to note that such action is
directly contrary to law, the Supreme
Court having decided that the papers
cannot be issued at any place away from
the County seat, and that papers so is
sued do not confer upon the parties the
right to- vote. The Clerk certainly
knows this fact, and people are left to
form their own opinions as to the action

Terrible Djphtheria Sc0urge .

The story Of a terrible scourge from
diphtheria comes to us from near the vii
lage of Horizon, in the town of Hubbard,
Dodge county. Last March the family
of Henry Oehler, whose wife is the oldest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. w. Schultz,
Of the First ward, was attacked with diph-
liberia and two daughters died with it.
In June another daughter died with the
same disease. Last week the scourge
reappeared in the family and carrie d of
two more children, both girls, and on last
Sunday the sixth daughter, aged Is
years, fell victim to the fatal disease. A
little boy years of age is the only child
now left in the family. Mr. Oehler lives
in large, commodious house, built on a
high position with dry cellar and well
of water upon the premises free from all
impurities so tar as known, consequently
this terrible visitation upon the family is
altogether unaccountable.

4 Sad ana Fatal Accide1at.

One of the saddest aud most deplorable
accidents we have ever been called upon
to chronicle was that which befell Frank
Whitton, aged q years, son of Mrs.
Hannah Whitton, in the town Of ClymaD,
Dodge county, last Friday afternoon.
During the absence of his entire family,
his mother and a brother being here in
the city on business, ano two other
brothers at a neighbor's threshing, Frank
took it into his head to shoot hawk
which was on tree near the house,
and it was the first time he was ever
known to handle fire. arms. He fired at
the bird but missing it loaded up the gun
again and cooked it, keeping the piece by
his side until ready to shoot. Raising it
suddenly to fire the hammer caught in
some brush or stubble and was discharg-
ed the entire charge of shot entering4 his
side inficting a mortal wound IN his
groin. The unfortunate young man man
aged to reach the house and get into bed
where one of the brothers who had been
threshing found him in terrible condi-
ton, everything about him being saturat-
ed with blood. A physician from Hustis-
ford was sent for and he arrived at the

The! W3n0ns Meeting

The John Winans meeting held last
Friday evening at Turner Hall was by
no means large outpouring, the lower
part of the hall being only comfortably
filled while the galleries were sadly emp
ty Forty miles of ravelitappeared had
transformed the political complexion of
Mr.. Winans, for he commenced his speech
BY clarifying in the great democratic vic
tory in Ohio and preparing his hearers
for similar event in New York next
week. For the time being, at least, he
ignored entirely the independent" posi-
ton he assumes in the counties of Rock
AMI Walworth where on the stump he
openly denounces both the democratic
ald republican parties and claims to oc-
cupy {. position Oh the political plane
aloof from either of these organizations.
But Mr. Winans we'll knew that it would
not do to play the independent role
here too much and hence the change in
his spots. After little, however, Mr..
Winans recovered himself and for a
while led off on the independent tack
for the purpose Of catching another class
of his listeners.
The chief end of Mr. Winans speech
was personal fusillade on Mr. Williams,
his republican opponent, and the large
number of promises he made liz honeyed
and buttered words as to what his action
would be when he occupied Mr.. Will
ANS seat in Congress(?) 1t is generally
admitted that a more farcical or silly
performance was never seen in Turner
Hall than that of Mr.. Winans reading
those bills of items on the Garfield funer
al drunk" as he terms it, and the
Yorktown celebration. The manner in
which Mr.. Winans connected Mr.. Will
Jams with these expenditures was uncall-
ed for and not borne out by the facts in
the case. Mr., Winans has told this story
SO much that he seems to believe it him.
self but it has been exploded long ago.
The lodging and hedging Mr.. Winans
performed here will evidently not add
much to his vote in this locality

SHAH WatertOtOn be Represented?

There is no one owning property or do
ing business in this city, but what has an
interest in the success of Jesse Stone, eau
didate for State Senator. Without him
in the Senate Watertown will have no
representative in the legislature for at
least two years to come and can have
none in the Senate for four years. This
is not very pleasant or comforting out
look for our city in its present condition.
All are agreed that Mr. Stone has the
ability to properly represent us and Will
have as much influence in the legislature
as any man at Madison. With Mr.. Stone
we can have DO uncertain fCrebodings.
He has been tried in the capacity of a
careful, vigilant, firm and decisive legis-
lator and not found wanting No fault
has yet been found in the manner he has
conducted himself as a representative of
this city. He has been true every time
to the interests of Watertown, and it can
be shown wherehis presence in the legis-
lature has been Of great benefit to our
city. He has by no means outlived his
usefulness neither is our city in a condi-
ton to do without bel p from legislative
hands. All the time the necessity is ar
parent for WATERFOWL to have mem Der
in either the Assembly. or Senate who is
watchful of her wants and necessities.
When we have men in whom we can
place confidence let them be intruste d
with our affairs and not turn them over
to persons who if not decidedly against
us a. least hold a distrustful or doubtful
position towards our city. Let it not be
recorded that the city of Watertown can
have ne voice or influence in the legisla-
ton of the state for several years to come

Bak1pee.

His name is A. E. Burpee and he lives
in GAINESVILLE. If you want to know who
Burpee is, ask Wiggenhorn Bros. J. j
Toussaint & Co., August Fuermann,
Joseph Bursinger, or any other of the
numerous business men here who have
dealings with the Internal Revenue de-
partment of the government, with which
Burpee was at one time connected. They
can tell you all about Burpee-of bis
skingint operations as an officer, and
how he used his despotic power to tor
ment men and crush them financially.
For good and substantial reasons Bur
pee was finally removed, and he dropped
out of sight. Nothing has been heard OF
him for some time until now he turns up
as the grand accoucheur of John Winans
at his birth into the self-styled 'Inde.
pendent party. We clip from a recent
issue of the Chicago Times:
A. f. Burpee an industrious and sue
cessful revenue detective during the whis-
ky ring period, who has causes of per
sonal nature to dislike Congressman Will
liams, is the active head and front of the
republican opposition, and has circulated
the calls and managed the convention OF
the boilers.
This of itself is enough to damn the
Winans' movement! With Burpee as its
manipulation and chief engineer, no man
who remembers him will care to touch it.
If Charley Williams had never done any
thing else to entitle him to the votes Of
the people, he should. be supported now
for having been instrumental in retiring
Burpee to private life and keeping him
there. The election of Winans probably
means the restoration of the notorious
Burpee to his old place in the Interna
Revenue service.
