TrO?ll the South.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. 7, 1882.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:-You know how
very warm it was when we started from
Water town. We found it little cooler
in Milwaukee, by reason of light shower
that fell during the afternoon AS we
travelled southwark we found that it lad
rained very hard and, by the time we
reached Chicago, it was very comfor table.
From the st. Paul depot we transferred
to the Illinois Central, at the foot of Lake
ST., and at $40 P. M. we were off for the
south. We did not know much about
what was going on till we awoke the next
morning at Greensburg, Indiana, only
ffty-five miles from Louisville.
Mrs. Bedford and Tompkins occupied
the lower berth in the car, and, while we
were stopping at indianapolis they were
started by the electric light and the COM
ct, aside from this we all slept as if we
had been at home in our beds. You need
not wonder that, feeling fresh and we'll
as we did from our good nights rest, we
very heartily voted the Pullman grand
thing and gave Mr.. Pullman place in
our list of worthless along side of the man
SO feelingly alluded to by the grateful
Sancho Panza after good nights sleep.
We reached Louisville about 10 A. NJ Of
Thursday. Shortly after II, noon, we
were again in motion, going over the
Louisville and Nashville road almost di-
rectly south to Montgomery. I cannot
speak too highly in praise Of this road, It
is strictly southern enterprise and with
them matter Of great pride, as it may
well be. The road is splendidly equipped.
The road bed is ballasted with broken
rocks; the express trains run very rapidly
and only stop at the large cities. The
scenery, in many places is almost equal
to the celebrated scenery of the Pennsyl
vania road. Just as the sun was setting
we passed through Bowling Green, Ken
lucky. You have heard our boys tell of
their experiences at that place. It is not
much, should judge, in itself, but be-
cause of its history it has become famil-
lar name. We came to Nashville just at
bedtime. From this place we again be-
came lost to all that was going on This
time not even the electric light or comet
intruded and we slept till o'clock, when
we awoke in the midst of the cotton fields
of Alabama, a sight worth trip south to
see. At 8 A. M. of Friday, we were at
Montgomery, having made every con-
nection and having reached our destina-
ton without break and at the very mo-
ment indicated by the time table we had so
carefully studied before starting. Now
to make sure that your readers will watch

The painful intelligence has been re-
ceived here of the death of Charlotte A.
Clark, wife of William H. Clark, Cashier
of the Bank of Watertown, the sad event
occurring at the home of her father,J. B.
Abbott, at Binghamton, New York, On
Saturday morning, October 18th, 1882,
at the age of about so years. One year
ago last July Mrs Clark with her hus-
band left her home in this city on a trip
east for the benefit Of her health, which
had been precarious for some time before.
For her restoration she entered the Water
Cure at Glen Haven. New York, but
without any avail as she gradually failed
being with some difficulty removed about
three weeks since to her fathers home
where she breathed her last A sad in
cident connected with her death is that
Mr. Clark having urgent business to at
tend to here, and Mrs. Clark's physicians
not anticipating any immediate danger,
was on his way to Watertown, when in
tercepted at Chicago with the sad news
that his wife had entered into rest. Mrs.
Clark with her husband came to Water
town bride in1855and since then this city
had been her home She was person en-
dowed with urbanity of manner and
kindliness of feeling that made her be-
loved by all who knew her. In his sad
bereavement the husband has the SYM
patty of our entire community.
Judge William t. Butler died at the
residence of his old schoolmate, j. Cor
coran, in Chicago, Thursday, October
18th, 1882, aged 81 years. Judge Butler
came to WATERFOWL about So years ago
and practiced law. In 1847 he became
proprietor Of the Rock River Pilot buy
ing out the interest of G. Hyer. This
paper did not exist very, long and subse-
quently he became connected wit b the
publication of the WATERFOWL City Times.
This newspaper enterprise was also short
lived. Meanwhile Mr.. Butler had been

DEATH of Old Settlers

Eli Goodrou, an old settler of Jefferson
county, died at his home in the town of
Pennington, on Thursday, October 18th,
1882. Mr.. Goodrou was born in Lower
Canada, of French parents, May 18th,
1915, and he was therefore in his 6Sth
year at the time of his death, Deceased
came to Wisconsin in 1641, stopping in
Milwaukee one year and subsequently re-
moved to Summit, Waukesha county,
where he remained until 1874 when he
settled in the town of Harrington which
had since been his home. He leaves a
wife, two sons, Ephrlam and Amasa, and
three daughters, Mrs. G. E. Rogan, Of
Watertown, Mrs Ella Crout of Ocono-
mowoc, and Miss Matte, to mourn his
loss. The testimony of all who bore Mr..
Goodrou's acquaintance is that he was a
loving husband, an indulgent father,
kind neighbor and sincere friend. The
funeral took place from his home Sunday
afternoon.
Another early settler has been taken
from us in the person Philip Piper, an
old and esteemed resident of the Second
ward, who died at his home yesterday
morning, quite suddenly Of apoplexy,
aged rs years. Mr. Piper came to Water
town from Germany some 80 years ago,
and lived for many years on farm with
in the present limits of the Sixth ward
Mr.. Piper was of a quiet and unassuming
nature and his loss will be keenly felt by
his family and large circle of friends.

JUNEAU.
r. G.. BEDFORD.

The Republican Convention which as
sembledshers on Saturday last was very
largely attended, not only by delegates.
but many outsiders. After the organic
alton OF the convention Hon. E. c.. Nc
Fetridge in a stirring speech presented a
letter from a committee of Democrats ask
ing the convention to appoint committee
for the purpose of comforting with SINH
lar committee of Democrats in regard to
the selection of ticket. The committee
was appointed, and as result presented
to the convention the following ticket as
agreed upon in the conference committee:
Senator, Hon. George Schott; Sheriff. r.
+. Thomas; Treasurer, VIM. Detloff; Reg
lister, Peter Langenfeldt; County Clerk,
John Scion; Clerk of Court, S. J. Sum-
ner; District Attorney, Chas. Allen; Sur
veyor. l.. ID. Livermore; Coroner, o. r.
Jones. The committee also reported
resolution to the effect that the Republic
an Convention adjourn sine die and in
vite the Democrats present to unite with
the Republican delegates in a peoples
convention. The report and the resolu-
ton were adopted unanimously, and the
convention adjourned On the assem-
bling of the Peoples Convention Hon.
Benz. Ferguson was chosen chairman. In
a powerful and effective speech Hon.
Samuel Burchard moved that the conyen-
ton nominate by reclamation the ticket
presented by the conference committee,
the motion was seconded by Hon. @. II.
Barron and was unanimously adopted.
After the appointment of a campaign
committee the convention adjourned.
The best of feeling prevailed throughout
the proceedings, and all unite in the opin-
ion that the ticket is the strongest one
ever placed before the people of Dodge
County for its suffrages. Every man on
the ticket is popular in his neighborhood
and has clean record, and not word
can be said against a single one of the
candidates.
The "Citizen" published statement
from H. A. Jones, of this town, severely
rejecting upon the conduct of J. E. Ma
lone, Clerk of the Court, and candidate
for reelection for the Sd term, in attempt
ing to keep back certain papers which by
a change of venue were to be sent to Ra-
cine county, and were to be sent on a GER
tain day in order to have the case reached
for trial at the October term there. Ever
since, and in fact before the suit was in
stituted, Mr.. Malone has made himself
very active spokesman for Mr.. Jones'
opponent, notwithstanding that the suit
was brought in the court of which Mr..
Malone is the Clerk. The case involves
the question of the right of the chairman
ship of this town, and has now been de-
cided in favor of Mr.. Jones. as neatly
everybody expected it would be- w.

Democratic assembly NOaNi7a0-
tlOu.

The democratic Assembly convention
of this district held here last Saturday af-
ternoon was presided ever by Hon. w. S.
Greens, of Milford, w. .. Stacy, of this
city, acting as secretary. The conven-
ton comprised large body, nearly all
the precincts being fully represented. 1t
was the first gathering of the new district
and more than the ordinary interest was
centered upon it in expectancy of what
the outcome would be as to its selection
for member of Assembly. Those who
were watching for mistake in the result
of its deliberations were disappointed.
On the first formal ballot Frank V. Pr
per, ofIxonia, was nominated for Assem-
hlyman, and the trust imposed was ac-
cepted by Mr.. Piper in q few well-chosen
words. 1t is seldom the democrats have
placed in the field candidate for the
legislature from this district so generally
acceptable to the voters as Mr.. Piper
He bias lived in Jefferson county from
CHS youth up" and in Mr.. Piper the
district would have creditable represen-
tative. Since Watertown could not have
the nominee the convention did the next
best thing.

E61U0rG WeStL0Ice'S Death.

We take from a Kansas paper the fol-
lowing facts connected with the death OF
E. Westlake, briefly alluded to in last
week REPUBLICAN,, which no doubt will
be of interest to our readers, Mr.. West
lake being former resident here having
married his first wife, Frank Carrier, in
this city:
Samuel Fisher and his fireman, VIM
Krigbaum, with engine No. 149, were
bringing passenger train No. 6 from the
west, due here at 2:15 A. NJ James M.
Hallet, conductor, Ed. Westlake, and his
fireman, P. Hodges, with engine Nc.
and the Cannon ball'' train, James E.
Corcan, conductor, were going west At
Salem, switch, side track station half
way between Hutchinson and Nickerson,
Hallet's train side tracked TO let the west
bound train 60 by. A brakeman by the
name of Campbell went forward to the
east end of the switch so as to throw it
and let the train he was on 90 out after
the other had passed. From what can
be learned, he sat down and fell asleep.
In a few minutes the train was onto him,
and in half-dazed state of mind he must
have grabbed the switch, and forgetting
what he had done before, pulled it the
wrong way, running the Cannon balr'
onto the side track also. Going at "a full
rate of speed, it plunged into the other
engine with a crash, and when the smoke
and steam cleared away, there, under the
pale glimmer of the moon, and out on
the bleak, dreary prairie, lay the two
monsters, mashed out ofshape, with four
or five baggage cars, ground to pieces on
top of them, and in the mass the bodies
of these five men, mangled beyond rocog-
milton.
After the intelligence had reached here
last night, party comprising DR.. Hogo
boom, physician for the company, G. f.
Foulks, claim agent, Col. H. w. Rossing-
ton, and others, took special car which
they attached to the | o'clock passenger
train and went out to bring in the bodies
of those who had been killed
Ed Westlake was a man 40 years of
age, and had been running passenger en-
gines for the Santa Fe company since
1873 He was a widower, and leaves
two children, boy and a girl, aged seyen
and nine years respectively, who are now
left orphans on the charities Of a cold
world. Mr.. Westlake and his children
made their home with Mrs. Blackmore
on West Eighth Street. He was an in
telligent citizen, social, good man, and
had host of friends in Topeka, who
mourn his loss as they would that of
relative He was an active member of
Lodge 81, A. F. & A. M; also of the
Knights Templar, of Capital lodge No. 3,

yesterday nominated by the democrats
for Member of Assembly, from the Second
district in opposition. to Fl. A. Porter, the
Republican nominee.
The Jefferson Banners chief recon-
mend for the democratic and prohibition
candidate for Register, A. Winslow, is
that he has been "a consistent democrat
for fifty years. This political experience
does not help man much in the line of
keeping books, etc.
The Jefferson Banner of last week
truthfully says:
The republican candidate for Sheriff,
VIM. Sommerfeld, is very popular in
WATERFOWL, and those who know him
pronounce him frst-class.
The very latest item of newspaper
intelligence is to the effect that Frank
Duffy, of this city, and J. E Malone,
Clerk of Court, Juneau, have leased the

become very disinterested campaign or
gan for the next few weeks.
The Jefferson Banner has this to say
regarding our candidate for Register:
The Only man nominated by the repub-
icans, last Saturday, whom they have
any desire or hope of electing, is Emil
Schuhrer, their candidate for register of
deeds. He is assistant postmaster in Wa
tertown, and is popular man there.
