AS MI. Herman Ault was bringing in
q drove of hogs last week a number Of

the railroad track about two miles from
the city. Before the owner could secure

hand to welcome the distinguished
guests when they arrived at seven
o'clock, and it is doubtful if they ever
had or ever will have more attention
than was paid them that evening. In
appearance they are of the most brutal
type Of the tramp species. Both arc
about twenty-five wear of age. They
gave their names as George Lake and
William Burns. The shorter II Of the
two, Burns, had a broken nose, which
distinguishing mark played a prominent
part in his discovery and capture. The
faces of both were covered with a short
stubby beard. Lake, the taller one OF
the twain, was OF dark complexion wIth
dark moustaehe, while his partner rev
elled i'll a sandy complexion and 4 nous
tache Of accompanying hue. Either
one met on a dark night would have
been given a wide berth by any honest
man. The prompt capture, which is d
great benefit TO not only this county but
the public generally, reflects great credit
upon the sheriff aud his forces, but es-
p%ecially upon Deputy Richards, who
made the arrest.
1t vas supposed that these were the
same parties who attempted to fire Mt.
Horcb, in Dane county last week, but
all endeayors to elicit any information
on the subject only gained the reply
that'they had come down to Woodman
along the Prairie du Chen division.
As this was an obvious slip from the
truth it was cast aside, but they are tco
old heads TO commit themselves more
than is absolutely necessary. There is
but little doubt, however, but they are
the same parties. and viii now have a
chance to do time for their combined
misdeeds.

The second sociable and reunion Of
the Congregational society, held last
Friday evening, at Mrs. Holloway's was
if possible, more enjoyable than the one
proceeding it. The attendance was
very large, the commodious mansion
being packed to its fullest capacity.
The New England supper, according TO
all accounts, was a decided success, an
added feature, and no slight factor to
the successful issue was Il bevev of Young
waters dressed in the costume Of ''yc
ancient day" These roles were filled
very handsomely, by the Misses Ida
Bushner, Helen Strong, Bessie Calls,
Fannie Smith and Clara Jones. Miss
Laura Cover took, very acceptably, the

counted up, it was found that nineteen
dollars had been left behind for the use

THERE win be Il home entertainment
given this week, on Friday evening by
the amateur talent of the city as a
preliminary opening of the course,
which is to be given through the winter.
The programme as outlined provides for
songs, recitations, reading, tableaux and
a roaring farce. The fellow who can
not be suited in the variety presented is
one who should at once file an applica-
ton for a reserved seat in that place of
outer darkness mentioned prominently
for wailing and gnashin9 of teeth. The
best amateur talent of the city, almost
without exception, will take part and
when that is SAID the meaning to the in
itiated is quite clear. To the %uniniti-
ated this offers the one chance of a lite
time to learn the meaning.

BLOOMINGTON,


Now that the campaign is over, peo-
pie are turning their attention to other
things than politics. The result of the
election has changed the minds of many
with reference to what they were going
to do under certain circumstances.
Many things which were expected to be
carried out viii remain in statu quo till

made free with a watch which was in
the pocket of n of II young men.
The goods were found in his possession,
and il due time he produced the time
piece which he had extracted from the
pocket Of the young man aforesaid.
This promiscuous taking of things with
out asking the proprietor or making any
provision for paying for the same, does
not meet the appreciation of the ..stat-
oot'' in such eases made and provided.
II. Z. Taylor looks as happy as 4
clam in high water in his new quar-
tiers. Mr.. Taylor is one Of the most en-
terprising young men in u town. and
