Broom Brigade E7stert0inn1en emf

|
The entertainment given under the
auspices OF the Watertown Broom Brig
a lie, ut Turner Hall last Wednesday
evening was largely attended and proved
one of the pleasantest and most enioya-
BILE affairs ever held in this city. Tie
curiosity OF the community had been en-
the qui vive for some time previous in
anticipation of the drill by the Brigade
and the appearance of the young ladies
with their brooms was looked forward to
with degree of interest seldom before
witnessed here on any occasion. The
military part Of the programme for the
evening was opened by the Wateltow
Rifles, commanded by Lieutenant N.
Bruegger, who went through their drill
and maneuvers in their usual creditable
manner. After the Rifles broke rank
then marched in the Broom Brigade com
posed OF nineteen OF Watertown's fair
daughters, aud with step as precise as
clock-wOrk, at once secured recognition
for soldierly bearing. The precision Of
their movements, graceful carriage and the
difficult maneuvefing they performed
without all error, won the admiration and
plaudits of all present. The brigsde
made it evident that for the comparative
" short time they had been drilling they
had achieved great success and that in the
line OF, manual Of arms they are apt schol-
AIRS. Their drill-master, Captain A. Sol.
liday, Of the Rifles, is deserving of much
credit for the pains he has taken with the
brigade, and must feel amply reward d
for his trouble by the fine state of peril c.
ton attained by the Brooms. IF the gir's
did not look very warlike in their hand
some uniforms they appeared rather ''cap-
tlinva;ing" with the red Garibaldi waiss,
skirts trimmed in bands of red and blue
anil jaunty Scotch caps with red, white and
blue trimmings. The drilling being over
dancing next received attention and for
number.,of hours the eight fantastic" was
tripped to the choice music of the Fort
Atkinson band comprising six pieces A
fac supper served by the lady friends of
the Broom Brigade was served during the
evening in the lower hall and due hom
age WAS performed to this important por-
ton OF the entertainment. 1t is not 800
much to say that in all respects this Ell
tort of the Watertown Broom Brigade
WAS a browning success and the pleasant
recollections connected with it will in-
ger for long time in the memories OF Ill
who were fortunate enough to attend.
The total receipts of the entertainment
were $1S8, occurring to the brigade net
profit Of $l08. Of this sum the young
ladies with commendsble spirit and LTD
crafty, have donated $50 to the Rectory
fund of St. Paul's church. The balance
% the profits will be devo:ed to the brig
ade fund

Rev. ]. G. Hull, of Aztslsn. has been
afflicted with disease of the stomach for
ssms years past caused by an excess OF
acid secreti0ns sofia was the only thing
he could find to relieve the trouble and
from small beginnings he has got to using
astonishing large quantities of the COM
pound. In an interview with Mr.. Hull
during his VISIT here this week he In.
formed us that since year ago last
March, not quite two years, he has taken
I 70 marvellous aaount OF 225 pounds. lie
still continues its use in the same proper
ton, averaging about two pounds and 3
halt week. Mr. Hull is far from being
a well man and has lost some Is pounds
of flesh in two yeais, but is still brighl
and active. This case of taking soda iii
to the system by wholesale is certainly
one that deserves the attention of chem
lists and the medical fraternity.

A week ago last Sunday evening This
quiet village was the scene of considera-
bic COmmOtiOn caused by the visit Of a
number OF members of cer;ain club in
Watertown. After imbibing freely o.
poor beer and W. rse whisky they attend
Ell the Presbyterian church, but were
kept within bounds. After church they
amused themselves with insulting ladies
and children, hoOting, yelling and swear
ing on the streets and in the saloos ill
near midnight, when they returned home.
Considerable Indignation was expressed
among our citizens the next day that
these rOwdies W re not allowed to sleep
off their drunken spree inside of the Jail.
The snow has pretty thoroughly block
aded the country roads, and for several
days but few teams were seen in town.
Mrs. Wright Andrews, nee Rogers,

day, aged about 80 years. The deceased
