On the DOcEetS.
gagements

TO the Editor of the Watertown Re
pubhcan:-Permit me through the col
umns of your paper to call the attention
of the taxpayers of this city to the action
of the Board of Street Commissioners at
its regular meeting on the 4th of Deem
Der, last, showing the estimate that that
Honorable Body places upon public in
telligence, and official integrity as de-
monstrated by one of the absurd novel
ties that engaged its favorable consider
ation.o on that occasion.
1t appears by the record that two &C.
counts were presented and allowed one
in favor of J. G. Halliger for 81, so, and
one in favor of w. D. Stacy for SIS to pay
for or purchase Justices Dockets."
Now assert that these accounts are
fraudulent, and ought to have been re-
jected by the Board of Street Commits
sioners. Why? Because in the first place
Justices of the Peace are not city officers
but are County officials, and, therefore, if
there be any expenses incidental to their
Office, not provided for by law they should
apply to the county authorities and not
to the town, ward or city for compensa-
ton, and III the second place the law that
makes it incumbent on Justices of the
Peace to keep docket provides how he
shall reimburse himself for its COST
Every Justice of the Peace in making out
bill of costs against litigants is author
lied to, and does, charge docket fee of
Is cents, which certainly ought to be a
satisfactory profit on the purchase of
single leaf of paper; and thirdly, because
the law written and rewritten from time
immemorial stamps the proceedings refer
red to as outrageously absurd, and | ven
ture the assertion, that outside the city of
Watertown such transaction would be
impossible for the reason that any Justice
of the Peace who should be so oblivious
of official propriety as to present such an
account would find it promptly sat
down upon by any board of ordinary in
telligence. But | am informed that the
bene6ciaries of these proceedings found
precedent in the record Of the 5th ward
fund and deemed it worthy of their en-
dorsement. 1t will be recollected by
some that two or three years ago similar
accounts were presented to the Board of
Street Commissioners (and disallowed; af-
forwards one was allowed by the 9Th
ward) by that ingenious Judicial light
of Dodge county, whose proclivities to
extend his jurisdiction beyond the limits
prescribed by law, has earned for him a
vacation from judicial duties and he now
rusticate for season amidst the lux
uries at WaupuA. 1t is to be regret
ted that precedent standing alone)
emanating from such source should find
favor with any one familiar with the de-
vious history of "Chief Justice Kube. -
But let us hope that his Brethren of the
Bench" who remain among us will cor
rect the error into which they have fallen
and promptly repudiate his vicious prec-
edent and establish another one founded
upon justice and right, by reimbursing
the city treasury with the sums of money
they have improperly and unjustly taken
therefrom, and thereby vindicate their
official integrity and preserve the respect
of their fellow-citizens.

JUNEAU.

Quite a number of farmers in this lo-
cality have sold out during the last few
weeks. Hon. A. II. Atwater, one of the
oldest settlers of the town, has sold his
farm near the village of Oak Grove to
Lewis and Ed. Drake, and intends to go
to Dakota to take up his residence with
his two sons who are located there.
Jack Wharburton, the great temper
ance lecturer, is spending this week here,
delivering lectures and inaugurating
revival on the temperance question.
Charlie Burgess, prominent farmer
IF this town, has suddenly become in
sane, being at times very violent and diff
ficult to manage. He will probably be
taken to Winnebago for treatment.
'TThe Land of the Midnight Sum-" is
the title of lecture to be delivered on
Thursday evening next, at the Presby-
terian church, by the Rev. Perry Miller,
who has spent several seasons in the
Northern part of Norway and Sweden

HO7lOrS to the Dead.

The following communication appears
in the last issue of the Weltburger. The
sentiments expressed therein have our
heartiest endorsement and we doubt not
will find response from the feelings of each
member of our community:
EDITOR WELTBURGER.-The bones of
the honored dead have found a resting
place among strangers. And who will
say that Luther A Cole was not honored
and beloved by every man, woman and
child IL Watertown, his home. Must it
indeed be so, that there is no room in
our beautiful Oak Hill Cemetery for one
of the principal founders of our goodly
city. Nay, it must not be so. Our cit
liens owe it to themselves and the history
OF this community that Luther A. Coles
remains should be buried in our midst,
and that fitting monument be erected
to his memory I do not doubt that the
necessary funds could easily be raised,
and the consent of his family most readily
obtained. Do you not think, Mr.. Editor,
that, could those bones speak, they would
cry out to the people Of Watertown:
Bury me among my friends.

Officers of G. ". Il. DC NJ. Il.

At the annual election of officers of the
Central Wisconsin Agricultural and Me-
chsnical Association held last Wednes-
day evening, the following selections
were made: President, S. G. Roper;
Vice President, NJ J. Woodard; Secre-
taly, G. A. Sprague; Treasurer, Joseph
Salick; Directors, J. P. Slight, J. Stone,
w. Schultz, w. G. Spalding, S. NJ. Eat,

The declination of F. 2. Brook to fur
Their act as Secretary of the association
was deeply regretted by every member
Mr.. Brook has indeed been indefatgable
in his efforts to promote the interests of
the society and place its affairs on a solid
and successful basis, and a continuance
of his services was most DESTROYS, but his
business matters demanded such attention
that he found it impossible to serve longer
as secretary. We have no doubt the new
secretary will prove worthy successor ia
Mr. Brook.

That "AaOfGE" Storm.

Virgins storm predictions will in flu t.
ure have no terrors for any one, his proph-
ecy of dreadful, devastating storm on
the 9th of this month having in no quar-
ter of the globe produced dividend.
The weather here for that day was clear,
bright and pleasant with the exception
OF slight atmospheric commotion
in the form Of wind that sprang up
towards evening and continued at inter-
walls during the night, but not blowing
with any more ferceness than is usual
during the average March days. To-
words daylight Saturday morning it Gem
menced showing and we had snow fur
ries during the forenoon, but on the
whole the weather was far from being of
that character that would vindicate Wig
gin in bis prophecies to the least degree.
With every dog the weather prophets
have had their day and the worst day
they ever struck for their reputation as
meteorological ..prognosticators was last
Friday.

The suit of N M. Littlejo n, Presi-
dent of the village of Whitewater, against
G. A. Haswin, of the Stephany-Haswin
theatrical troupe on the 9th, was discon-
tinued by Mr.. Littlejohn's attorneys, the
costs being on Mr.. Littlejohn. Mr. Has
win has been at very great expense on
account of this suit, and will bring suit
in the United States Court at Milwaukee
against Mr. Littlejohn for $1,000 dam
ages. 1t will be remembered that owing
to misunderstanding between the Ste
phany-Haswin troupe and the White
water village authorities, the company
were prevented from playing by the hall
being closed on them, and their baggage
and wardrobe having been attached by
Mr.. Littlejohn, the troupe had to disband
and found it impossible to fill other en-
gagements.

A Little Confidence Gdme

A sharp confidence game was played
upon III. Bellack last Saturday evening.
A stranger entered his store and made
purchases to the amount of ST so. For
payment oftho goo he presented check
on the Bank .of WATERFOWL for $3.50,
signed with the name "Nelson Pierce"
Mr.. Bellack hesitated somewhat about
taking the check, whereupon the custom
er said he had no objection to endorse
it, and accordingly wrote on the back
with a legible hand, "E. p. Ellis" This
simple act on the part of the 6nancier
seems to have made the paper negotiable,
for it went into the money drawer and
the proper change was returned to the
visitor who made quick movements out
of the establishment. Mr.. Bellack sup
posed when he took the check that it
was signed bv Pierce, of the Junction
House, but he soon found that this was
delusion and snare, Mr.. Pierce never
having drawn the check, and if he did it
would have been signed Nelson WI
Pierce. Mr.. Bellack is now waiting for
the endorser to come around in order to
have the loss made good.
