THE Good Templars of this city viii |
hold an open Lodge next Tuesday even
ing at their hall in Budd's block. An |
entertaining programme will be pre-
sented to which all are invited.
AMONG the many ANIMALS presented
to subscribers by different papers, that
issued recently by the Milwaukee Senti-
mel takes the lead for neatness and de-
sign. The Sentinel has reason to be
proud of its little messenger. 1t is not
alone in almanacs that the Sentinel ex-
GELS. With severe fight on its hands
it still comes gamely to time at the be-
ginning of every round, and maintains
its reputation for being the newsiest
daily paper in the state.
THURSDAY last James Gray, of Bos
cobel, made his appearance before JUS
tice Lowry on a charge of adultery, pre-
pared by our Shakespeare Davis, the
other party to the offcnSe being Mrs.
Davis. Gray pleaded guilty and was
escorted to the Grant County hotel.
While there, Eliminating over the snares
that are ever ready to trip the feet of
the unwary, James concluded he had
made mistake and the result of his
change of heart was shown by the APP
pearance Monday morning of Mr..
Gray, Sen, accompanied by John d.
Wilson, who went Systematically to
work and in short time James had
withdrawn his first plea and was out on
bail, ready to give his aceusers chance
to prove their interesting insinuations.
A SCAN mag, of stable proportions,
has been recently developed in the ordi-
narily quiet township of Paris, in
which prominent official of that town
and the wife of a neighbor figure as the
stars. Itappears that the husband supris-
the quiet pair enjoying each others
company, one evening last week and
proceeded to express his mind at the
end of cudgel Unfortunately his ar
gument was not very evenly divided, as
the betrayer escaped after q few
thumps, leaving his guilty partner to
bear the brunt of the attack, which left
her in badly damaged condition. The
male star on arriving at his own domi-
ellie dropped that role, and cast himself
for first walking gentleman in
which guisc he placed as much distance
between himself and the irate husband
as possible in the shortest space of time,
and is now supposed to be in hiding.
A divorce suit Will close the matter out
from public view.
Ir is rumored as the intention of the
Milwaukee Il ST. Paul road to extend
their road westward until they have a
direct line from Milwaukee to Council
Bluffs. AS this means benefit for the
towns along the line Messrs Philip
Shilliam and Joseph Thomas of Hazel
Green, recently paid visit to General
Manager Merrill as delegates for their
town in order to see what arrangements
could be made so as to include Hazel
Green in the proposed extension of the
route. They were referred by Mr.
Merrill to /. H. Ernest, of Shullsberg,
who will have charge of the extension
BY this gentleman they were given as
surance that Hazel Green should not be
left out in the cold when the route was
eX. as it will be in the spring,
westward to The river. Like other towns
with the railroad fever Hazel Green is
ready to contribute handsome bonus
provided they can attain their object
AT meeting held in the court house,
Tuesday evening, the report of the COM
mittee appointed to revise the charter
was read and adopted. The committee
reported that they took the charter of
the city of Platteville as n basis for
! groundwork as this charter was origin
ally similar to that of Lancaster, but
has been much altered and improved.
With this as starting point they pro-
ceeded to build up a charter for the
city which, if not entirely perfect, is at
least vast Improvement on the ancient
and antiquated document that has serv-
ed to befog city authorities and lawyers
in time past. 1t is of course impossible
to give even fair synopsis of the new
charter in this place. The principal
changes made were in the way of sim
plifying the work of improvements, and
granting to the Council greater discre-
tionary powers than it now holds, there
by increasing its usefulness as well as
its responsibilities. An amendment to
the report was adopted changing the
date of the city election from the first
Monday in May to the third Tuesday in
March, and authorizing the committee
to change the dates in the charter to
coincide Herewith.
