EACH incoming mail brings letters
of inquiry to d. Z. Beech, secretary
of the South western Wis. Industrial
/ Association, from all directions aud

Two able sermons were preached
in this city last Sunday evening. At
the M. K. church Rev Clough talk
ed ably on the murder of Haddock,
the powerful temperance advocate,
which recently took place in Iowa.
The cause, the disgrace to civiIiza

Rev. Bond dwelt with force and

LAST week Orrin Evans, of Dodge
vile, died of cancer of the throat
Mr.. Evans was young man of ex-
cellent character. A little over a
year ago he was married to Miss
Sadie Sims, of that village. At the
time of his marriage he appeared in
perfect health, but after a few

after less than four minutes the Jap

At length both became tired out and
