The lecture of Rev. e. L. Eaton,
Of Madison, delivered at the Nj. E.
church of this city on Wednesday
evening, was an admirable one, and
showed Mr.. Eaton to be possessed of
rare powers and faculties which pc
culiarly fit him for lecturer,
mind well stored with information
concerning the events of the past
and the present, thorough knowl-
edge of human nature in its weak
nesses as well rs It's virtues, with an
inexhaustible fund of anecdote at
hand to draw from for illustration.
To attempt to give a synopsis of his
lecture upon The Coming Man and
his Wife is not our intent The
coming man and his wife will be
the perfection of mans three-fold,
nature-spiritual, mental and ply
steal. To show this was the aim and
purpose of the lecturer, and right
we'll was the task performed. He
did not, as many lecturers do, drag
in pet theories of his own, but based
his statements and arguments upon
Christian truth, and handled well
his subject from the beginning to the
close. Mr.. Eaton rendered in the
most pleasing manner number of
sacred songs accompanying his sing
ing with the organ. He possesses a
rich melodious voice, of good ex-
preston, and gives distinct articula-
ton to every word.
A horse stealing with romance
is rare thing, but a Iowa county has
enjoyed one this week. 1t seems
that a young Bohemian = Adolph
Weld-was paying attentions to a
a young lady near Muscoda. Tie
old gentleman objected; but it was
no faint heart that was after the
" fair lady" The young man con-
tinued his suit. About this time
another sutton came into the play /;
at which Adolph became very mad,
and one night he sawed the reach of
off bis rivals sleigh, and then ordered
him off; but he wouldn't go-nor
didn't. The war of words went on
from time to time, the dear one
restraining blows, or duels, until at
last Adolph had the bans published.
Then, on last Sunday night went TO
the barn of Jacob Zacck, near Mus
coda, and stole horse, which he
took to Dodgeville and sold to a
man in that village for $50. With
this money he bought at Cart
wright's one gents watch chain, two
silver thimbles, and a beautiful gold
ring. He then bought a suit of
clothes-probably for the wedding,
and then started for home, taking
the train for Cobb, where as be STEP
ped off the train Mr.. John Manning
believing him to be the horse-thief,
with the aid of constable James Fox
arrested him and took him back to
Dodgeville, where he is now in jail.
When arrested he had $56.35 in cash
| in his possession.
