pleted, and opened to the public.
OF course it is well patronized as
it should be.

most substantial manner.
Ex-Attornoy General Wilson and
Boss Reyes honored our village
with a call last week; but this
has no political significance, for
they seemed to be interested in

hand of the Boss is seen in the
fact that our town sends solid
Reyes delegation to Dodgeville.

a genial gentleman was here on

The sound of the threshing

Miss Cora Deyendorf and Master
Charley, of Platteville, and Miss
Sally Lanyon OF your city, made
short but very pleasant visit to
DR.. Gill and lady one day last
week.
We received the sad intelligence
from Butte City, Montana, that
Alfred Richards, of Dodgeville was
killed in one of the mines there.
He leaves wife and two small
children in Dodgeville to mourn
his loss. We would add we were
personally acquainted with Mr..
Richards. He was very indus
trious man. We deeply sympa-
thize with his wife and family in
their sad bereavement.
Miss Grace Richards arrived home
from Michigan about week ago,
looking just as natural as ever
Also Samuel and George Hart
from the same country. Glad to
see you boys.
The controversy between Doctor
Gill and the Chronicle Editor of
this place is at last at an end. The
proposition made in the last weeks
issue Of the Chronicle by Mr.. Rowe
to submit the question at issue to
a committee of three responsible
men to determine whether the
word misfortune" or Importance"
was made use Of in the original
letter written by DR.. Gill to Mr..
Rowe The committee was chosen
and after due examination reported
unanimously the word was plainly
importance, which was in favor of
the Doctor.
llr. Rowe at once apologized to
the Doctor, which was duly &C
cepted. We hope no more such
disputes will occur in our village.
1t seems to be the general opinion
of the people that such abuse is all
uncalled for. They are both good
fellows, and we think the Doctor
will overlook the error made by
Mr.. Rowe. BADGER.

Our Dakota shoemaker, Coon
Schmelser, finding his boot and
shoe orders SO large, thought it
necessary to have an assistant.
He has engaged German new
conner to help him in his arduous
labors.
The work on Frost Bros. new
building is rapidly progressing, the
foundation being completed. Four
carpenters and one mason and his
assistant are at work on the build
ing. When completed it will be
about two and half times as
large as the original building on
the same lot.
Ever Erickson has takes the place
of A. P. Dietrich as janitor, and
will see to everything for the next
school year.
The adjusting agent representing
the Watertown Insurance Com
pany, in which Dr. Bruil was in
sured, was in town last Tuesday
and Wednesday, setting up with
DR.. Bruil. 1t appears that they
did not at first come to an agree
ment, and got Post and Reuter-, car
penters, to estimate the damage
done to the carpenter work, and
Mr.. Gilbertson, stone mason to es-
innate the damage done to the
mason work. They finally came
to settlement-the agent allowing
Mr.. Bruil something over seven
hundred dollars.

AN OPEN INsULT.-EdtorS Dem
ocrat:-Last week | entered at the
fair here r lot of pictures and was
directed by on of the committee TO
hang them in the fine art department
of the fair house anywhere | might
choose, so long as the pictures were
grouped together Consequently l
hung them where | thought best,
although there is really no choice of
of position where | hung them, but
for some reason best known to
favored few, my pictures were
thrown out of the fine art depart.
ment to make room for display of
oil paintings, etc, and were placed
in the fruit and flower part of the
house, where the inferior light would
not be so detrimental to the exhibit
of fruit and flowers rs it would be
to the display of pictures-pictures
requiring the best of light.
Why did not complain at the
time? l did, TO a deputy superin-
tendent-he being the only person
present to whom | could appeal
and | was authorized by him to pull
down another exhibitors pictures
and hang mine in place of his, which
was course too repugnant for any
person having the slightest degree
of sensitiveness or regard for the
rights of another. If | had acted
on the impulse of the moment, and
by the direction of counsellors, |
should have instantly taken my
pictures out of the fair.
1t appears fair play was not enter
tanned for moment, for my entry
was the first made, and if prefer
ment of place could be claimed at
all it should be by virtue of fore
stallment of entry. | should not
have complained in the least if my
pictures were retained in the art
department--but being the first
pictures entered and to have them
thrown out, is an insult without ex-
cuse or justification. More anon.
