have constructed private sewers, and
ultimately complete system Of city
sewers is inevitable, but before it is
constructed lively tusSel between
the interests on I'd and 4th lakes
may be confidently looked for.
Advance agents and advertise
ments persuaded the people of the
Capitol City that they were to be hon
ored last Thursday by an excursion
party from Illinois, superior in mag
nitude and magnificence 10 anything
of the kind ever known here. The
city authorities took especial pains
TO entertain the guests. The Mayor
and council accompanied by full
band in uniform, and a generous
number of carriages repaired to the
depot at the appointed hour. At
least 700 persons were expected, in
Guiding some of the most eminent
Sucker statesmen, literary and pro-
fessional men and capitalists. The
train arrived an hour late, consisting
of four coaches, containing about
200 men, women and children of the
ordinary kind. The band played
tune; the Mayor looked around for
the distinguished members of the
party, at whom to fire his speech of
welcome, and for whom the car
riages were in waiting, but his Hon
or's search was vain. The band
started up town, followed by the
crowd, the carriages were ordered
back to the barns, and the Mayor
and council took short cuts for home
to partake of cold dinners. The
party did not compare in numbers
with the one from Dodgeville last
summer, nor the one we expect from
the same place tomorrow.
The State University is being put
in order for the fall term, which be
gins next week-W ednesday. A
new system of heating and ventilat-
ing the main building has been in
PRODUCED. The professors are near
ly all on hand ready to resume work,
and indications are that the institu-
ton will have its usual complement
Of students. The agricultural ex-
pertinent farm connected with the
University, is said to be demonstrate
ing the wisdom of its founding UNI
der the efficient management of
Prof. w. A. Henry. One immense
silo has already been filled with clio
yer, and another will be filled dur
ing the week of the state fair, TO
give farmers attending the fair an
opportunity of studying this system
of storing clover; by which it is
claimed the product is preserved for
five or six weeks almost as green
and fresh as when cut.
No change has yet taken place in
the revenue collectors office here,
and some of IIarnden's friends are
hopeful that he may yet be retained.
If he is it will be in recognition of
his valuable services to the country
as a soldier, and tits to be hoped he
will be consistent enough, and CRATE
full enough to the comrads who have
rallied to his support, to select at
least portion of his subordinates
from among the hundreds of de
serving and competent veterans of
his district. 1t is positively an
nounced by Lotridge's friends that
he will give ex-soldiers preference
in every instance for appointment,
qualifications and other things be-
ing equal. So that, however it turns,
the contest is sure to have the de-
sired effect of giving force to the
laws and party pledges made in the
interest of those who met the dan
gers, made the sacrifices, and en-
dured the hardships by which this
Union was saved from dissolution.
This week the Capitol is to be oc-
cupied by the supreme council of
the American Legion of Honor, and
next week by the Grand lodge of
Good Templars.
