A "Chautauquan Club" was organ
lied in this city about the first of Oct.
last by Mrs. Ingraham, Raymond and
Mrs. J. d. Witter. They have con.
tinued their meetings regularly, and OF
late have made several additions to
their circle. The course Of study to
be persued will occupy four years. The
studies are made up of science, history
and art. The present list of members
in addition to the above named are
Mrs. DR.. Witter, Mrs. Chase, Mrs.
Freeman, Mrs. Tenant, Mrs. Paul
Fontaine, and their regularly meetings
are held every Tuesday afternoon at
Mrs. Raymonds. The work is pre-
scribed by the Chautauqua school,
located at Chautauqua, n. Y. AT
the end of the course, the members
are required to be examined, and il
they pass satisfactory examination
they will each receive diploma.

Oscar j. Gagnon, of this place and
Miss Hattie B. Kline, of Grand
Rapids, were married on Sunday after
noon last, at the residence of the
groom's brother-in-law, S. Terrier,
Rev. A. G. Blackman officiating. The
EAGLE adds its congratulations and
wishes the young couple much joy
Marrimette Eagle.
1t is reported here among the young
people that they were somewhat un-
fortunate in getting married. That by
error Miss Kline's trunk which contain
ed her trousseau was not re-checked
at Green Bay and did not arrive at
Marinette until the day after the
marriage, and Oscar was somewhat in
the same predicament. They are a
jolly couple and have hosts of friends
here.

JAS. L. WILDER,

The Remington railroad case is
still in progress. The Journal Of
Tomah speaks of the progress of the
suit as follows
The great suit of Fl. W. Remington
against the W. V. R. R. Co., fol
the recovery of sum for extra work
and services during and after the
building of the road, amounting ii
the aggregate to over 100000, is ii
progress next door to the JOURNAL
and is becoming quite interesting
The suit is of sufficient magnitude te
draw together an array of legal talent
not often seen in Tomah. Judge Cate
Lusk, Cary, Briggs, Gregg, and ;
host of witnesses and reporters have
invaded the rooms, and at the presen
writing the suit bids fair to continue
for several days.

We are not manufacturing tickets
that any one need to feel compelled
to vote. We desire only to awaken
an interest on the subject that good
men may be selected. We had intend
ed on mentioning the name of the
present acting mayor but several old
fremen insisted that he should not be
mentioned for the place, because he
had never acted squarely with them
and took no interest in the fire depart
ment and a serious opposition would
therefore be raised. And the further
fact that the management of the city
affairs have recently been injudiciously
managed. At the present time there
are orders standing out drawing seven
per cent. interest while there is over
$500 in the treasury to draw against.
What is this but poor fnanciering,
and if such is the case now while the
taxes have just been paid in, what will
the condition of affairs be next fall.
Our interest in this matter is public
and in no way personal. We need a
live and judicious city government.
Each individual member of the COM
msnity is indirectly interested and
we gladly acknowledge and accord
each the right of their own opinions.

A Sad Household.


The past week has been sad one
indeed for the HOUSEHOLD of Mr.. P. n.
Christensen of this city. Their eldest
son Louis, aged seven years, CON-
planned last week Tuesday of feeling
sick, and on Wednesday tie following
day he was kept out of school. Thurs
day he grew worse and Mr.. Christensen
summoned DR.. Witter. On examina-
ton the doctor pronounced the disease
malignant diphtheria. On Friday the
boy had grown still worse and contin-
ued losing ground until Saturday
morning at four o'clock when the little
fellow passed away. God had re-
claimed his own. No sooner had this
occurred than the second son Clarence
wasstaken down with the same disease
and was sick only from six O'Clock
Saturday morning to six o'clock in the
evening when he too answered the call
of his eternal father, and passed to
the world beyond. The broken heart
ed father with a few friends inferred
the remains of the first child on Sat-
urday and the second on Sunday.
About this time their remaining child
rem, two daughters, were also taken
sick, and DR.. Mosher was summoned
to assist DR.. Witter. The girls have
the scarlet fever and one is very low.
The doctors say it is doubtful whether
she will recover or not. During all
this trial, sorrow and trouble. Mrs.
Christensen was confined on Saturday,
and was partly unconscious of what
had happened. A little girl baby
made her first demands for shelter at
their home during this sad affection.
Both mother and child have since
taken sick with fever, and what will
be the sequel to this most serious con,
dition of affairs remains a prayerful
question. How sad to contemplate
IT'S trying ordeal for mortal beings,
and bears heavily on the heart strings
of parental affection. The grief strick-
en- parents have the deepest sympathies
of our entire people. Later, the hired
girl also gave out, and now Mr.. CHS.
Jensen is reported i'll.
