CAPITAL NOTES.

I lists open the campaign with a meet
ing in the Assembly Chamber, to be
addressed by DR.. Corwin, of Racine,
and Rev. John Mclean, of Beloit.
General Neal Dow, the great prohi-
bitionist of Maine, will speak at the
came place on Tuesday evening, un-
der the auspices of the W.C.TU.;
and the same eveningthe popular Fay
Templeton company will present
the charming comic opera "Mas-
cotte," in Burroughs opera house.
For Friday evening a second meet
ing in tile interest of prohibition is
advertised Other entertainments
are expected, in the way Of political
meetings, but not yet positively an
nounced.
The city water works are about
completed, and are expected to be in
operation soon. The capitol extern
sion has advanced rapidly during
I the fine weather Of the present
month. The walls have reached a
good height upon both the north and
south entrances. The north wing
/ is advanced to q much greater ex-
tent than the other, which has Just
reached the joists. These are of
massive iron and very strong. The
contractors are satisfied with the
progress which has been made, and
fully appreciate the advantage which
has been gained on account of the
propitious weather.
The ladies Of the Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union will open,
tomorrow evening, room in the
city hall, as reading-room and
place of resort for boys under six
teen years of age, where they may
have pleasant entertainment and use
full instruction two, or perhaps three,
evenings of each week, during the
coming winter.
Governor Rusk is in communities
ton with parties who propose to put
electric lights in the capitol in com.
pliance with law of the Legislature
authorizing the same. The lights
are to be put in without expense to
the state unless accepted by the next
legislature. The parties claim that
the capitol can be better lighted and
for less money than at present
The arrest of Col Thomas Rey-
nolds is still the leading subject of
gossip. Following the first arrest
one week ago to-day, he has been re-
arrested on a warrant covering other
cases of like character. From the
first arrest he was released on bail
Of *l0OO-and from the second on
an additional bond of $4,000. The
arrest was severe blow TO Col
REYNOLDS friends, who are numer
Gus and firm. Gen. Geo. 4 Bryant
and Col. Andrew Sexton signe- the
bail bonds. The preliminary exami-
nation is set for to-day. 1t is ru-
morcd that Reynolds will plead not
guilty, waive examination, and give
bonds to appear for trial at the next
term of the L. 5. District court,
which will be in February.
There are no Surface indications"
of any change in the political status
within the past week; but careful
observer will discover, more hope
fulness among Hazelton's supporters,
considerable anxiety among Demo
Gratis, and positive dlspalr among the
Keyes adherents. Conservative
friends Of Hazelton who week ago
were utterly without hope, now think
his chance about even with that of
Jones. They have information that
IIazelton will draw much more from
Jones in Grant, iowa and laFay etc,
than will be lost through keyes; that
in Green he is gaining at a rate which
by election day will insure him a
plurality over Jones in the county;
and that Dane will not be SO unani-
nous against him as heretofore sup
posed They figure about as follows:
