JUNEAU.

James McEwan, father of Mrs. Hiram
Barber, Jr., died at Mitchell. Dak., on
the 18th inst, in his 84th year. He was
a native of New York, but followed mer-
camille pursuits 10 Vermont until 1852,
when he came to Chester, and four years
ago he moved to Dakota.
Albert Stowe who has been confined to
bis house for more than six months by
reason of an injured knee, has for some
time past in addition been suffering from
a complication of other diseases, which
has brought him SO low that no hopes
are entertained of his ultimate recovery.
E. B. Bolens, founder and editor of the
Dodge County Democrat, later consoli-
dated with The Juneau Telephone, was
buried here on Thursday last, under the
auspices of the Masonic lodge.
Tbos. Hughes, the genial editor of the
"Citizen" was ia town on Monday.

Our Street System.

Our streets appear to have been worse
than eyer for teams the present spring
and many break-downs to wagons have
occurred right in the business portion OF
the city. For several weeks past it has
been almost impossible to approach either
of the depots with load. Something
ought to be done to place the streets in
better condition and we have no doubt
that the. matter can be best reached by
giving the control of them to the city in
general, and not have the repairing OF
them left to each ward as at present. A
street commissioner who will be continued
in Office so long as egives satisfaction, is
what is wanted here. But to change over
to this. system illrequire an amendment
to the charter and for this we will have
to wait until next winter when we will

Attempted Sticide.

Hugh Kerr, former weil.to,do farmer
of the town of Emmett, and for sdtne
years past a resident of this city, attempt
ed to commit suicide yesterday afternoon
by cutting his throat with razor. He
was found in the stable at the rear of
Klemann's blacksmith shop bleedly pro-
fusely and quite weak from loss of blood.
Drs. Spaldiug and Barber were called,
who attended 70 the case and sewed up
the wounds. Fortunately, no large blood
vessels were severed and he will recover.
For the past three years Mr.. Kerr did
not make his home with any of bis fami-
ly, but boarded at the American House.
Family troubles appear to have burdened
his mind of late and undoubtedly led
him to make an attempt on his life. Mr..
Kerr is about-76 years of age.

Church "reminiscences

The services at the Congregational
church last Sunday evening, although
deviatihgF somewhat from the usual
course, proved none the less interesting
to the congregation. In lieu of regular
sermon, addresses were made by the Off
ciating minister, Rev. Chas. Boynton, of
Sun Prairie. j. A. Norris, w. A. Bing
ham, E. d. 'Coe, G. B. Skinner, j. A.
Hall and Daniel Hall, all going back rs
years ago and relating personal expert
ences and "reminiscences of their connec-
tion with the Watertown Congregational
church at that early period which was
season of awakening in the religious life
of large number, several of whom were
among the speakers and bore testimony
of the good seed sown at that time.
Altogether the meeting was a profitable
one and its revival of old memories was
very pleasant for those present.

DIR. Cody and Wife ReconciIed.

A complete reconciliation took place
yesterday afternoon, between DR.. James
Cody and his wife. The doctor in COM
pany with Mrs. Cody rode in hack from
the residence of his daughter, Mrs. J..
Salick, on West Washington street, where
he had been since the previous day with
his wife. and he repaired to his old home
from which he had been estranged for
nearly year. Thus ends a case that
had become celebrated throughout the
slate. It's adjustment in view of all the
circumstances will no doubt occasion
general surprise. Of course all the suits
pending, growing out of the difficulties
between DR.. Cody and his wife, will now
be Withdrawn.

Rev. Mr.. KOehler Heard From.

Under the head of "The Rev. Koehler's
Knavery," The Chicago Utter Ocean
correspondence at Galena, H., dated the
18th inst, renders the following:
"The Rev. J. T. Koehler, who recently
swinded the members of his flock at
WATERFOWL, Wis, out of large sum of
money, was pastor of the German Free
Evangelical Church in this city from Sep
tember, 1876, to June. 1877, and is
remembered by the members of his
congregation here as a first class
scoundrel. He is an eloquent pulpit
orator. Soon after his arrival here
he commenced systematically to work
himself into the confidence of members of
his flock with, as appeared afterward, the
deliberate intention of swindling them,
and in the netarious work he had no re-
gard for sex or condition, but swindled
rich and poor, men and women. old and
young, alike. He represented that he
was native of Russia. and that he had
inherited large estate there, from which
he was expecting remittances of large
sums of money On the strength of these
representations he succeeded in borrowing
amounts ranging from $50 or $50 down
to smaller sums from members of the
congregation, in many instances taking
it from widows and other extremely poor
people, who could i'll afford to lose it.
The suspicious OF some of the p'em bers
were finally aroused, and comparison of
notes disclosed the fact that the beloved
pastor had borrowed upward of one thou.
sand dollars. The reverend gentleman
discovering that the atmosphere was get
ting decidedly warm for him here, pre-
pared for flight. A large number OF his
victims, suspecting his purpose, FASTENED
over to the Illinois Central Depot to in
tercept him. but the pious fox was too
cunning for them, and managed to board
the train without being discovered, and
made his escape. So intense was the
excitement among his victims that threats
to lynch him, if they succeeded in cap
turing him, were freely made. The
reverend scoundrel was subsequently
heard of at Morton's Ferry, Ohio, and
still later at Manistee Mich, in both o:
which places he swindled the members
of his icck out OF large sums of money.
