George L. Field, of Ripon, former
old resident here, made flying visit to
our city last Wednesday and compi-
ment toWatertown was connected with his
appearance among Us. Ripon was recent
ly visited with destructive fire, and to
guard against future contingencies in this
direction her people are about providing
themselves with fire department.. The
Riponites learning that the Watertown
Fire Department has the reputation of
being the most economically and success
fully managed of any volunteer fire de
partment in the state, dispatched Mr..
Field here to enquire into the secrets of
its workings and management. Nh.
Field was well pleased with what he saw
and heard in connection with the Phenix
and P ioneer fire companies in our city,
and we shall probably next hear of a
Ripon Fire Department on Watertown
basis.

AT present the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railway is contemplating a COM
plete change in the running time Of its
trains, which will include the establish
ment of another daily train to run through
from Chicago to ST. Paul to accommodate
the increased passenger travel. At pre-
sent the company runs three or four ex-
ira passenger trains during the week, but
at considerable cost. The changes will
also make allowances for fast through
train, which it is intended will make the
time between Chicago and St. Paul in
thirteen hours, five and one half hours
less time than at present.

ganization will then stand politically Is

makes interesting figuring for the chair
