JUNEAU.

The county fair held at Beaver Dam
last week was in all respects very
successful one The weather was all that
could be desired, the entries Dumerazs
and the attendance very large. Nearly
all the owners of fine stock in the county
exhibited, and the people of Beaver Dam
had contributed largely to The exhibition
in the art hall. The annual fair of 1887
will be held at the same place.
"Turn the rascals out" is the cry
raised in Dodge County by the tax payers
against the "ring." Revelations are con-
stantly coming to light that indicate
frauds of the most startling character IN
several branches of the county govern
ment. It is asserted that court orders
have been issued for sherifs, jurors, ETC.,
in excess of the amount earned by them.
and even in duplicate, the stub for the
second one destroyed, but both orders
presented to the treasurer for payment
Appropriations for bridges and roads to
various towns in the county have been
made simply as means of making the
town "solid'' for the ring, and have been
paid, although 20 work of building them
has been done. This is "steal'' that has
been introduced of late years and has
grown to gigantic proportions. Sureiyit
would seem as if the cry was not unrea-
sonable.
Hon. Richard Guenther, of Oshkosh,
having accepted the call to him signed by
thousands of voters ID the counties of
Dodge, Fond du Lac, Washington and
Waukesha, to become an independent
candidate for Congress in the Second dis
trict, the campaign in that district may
now be said to have fairly opened, and
will undoubtedly prove one of the livel5-
est one ever witnessed in the state. All
appearances indicate that there is strong
feeling among the Democrats in all four
counties against the election of MIR.
Delaney. Not only have many prominent
Democrats signed the call for Mr.. Guen-
ther, but letters are pouring in upon him
from Democrats all over the district
voluntarily rendering him their support
and predicting his election. The North
western Courier, of Fond du Lac, and The
Volksfreund, of Horizon. both influential
German papers have come out in his
support.
This week will inaugurate the county
canvass in good earnest. The support by
an active, Independent paper of the
Peoples ticket is making itself felt, and
some hot shot is Icing poured into the
ranks of the "ring" and its supporters.
The prospects for the success Of the Peo-
ple's ticket become brighter every day.
Although two or three pew cases &of
diphtheria have appeared in the village
during the past week, they have been of
so mild a character as to encourage the
hope that the disease will soon entirely
disappear from this locality. W

TELEPHONE IMPROVEMENTS.

A notable Improvement has been made
in our local telephone system By the
erection of pole trunk lines for the ac
commodation of the wires running from
the exchange, which have hitherto been
placed on the tops of roofs and such other
supports as opportunity afforded. This
change has been made through the exer-
tons of the indefatigable manager here,
j. B. May, and we are sure will be quite
generally appreciated by our citizens.
When other intended Improvements to
the telephone lines here are completed
WATERFOWL will possess one of the best
equipped telephone systems in the state.

RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSY AT OSHKOSH.

OSHKOSH, Oct 6-Considerable interest
has been awaked in religious circles here
by an announcement that the Evangelic-
al ministers have decided to amend the
constitution of the local ministers asso-
citation so as to debar from membership
the Rev. Edgar Leavitt, pastor of the
Universalist church, on the ground that
he is not an Evangelical minister Mr.,
Leavitt last year undertook 70 give his
opinions on future probation in care

the point at issue. He came here from
Fort Atkinson.

SHOOTING ACCIDENT.

Thursday afternoon last, Maria, the
ten-year old daughter of James Killian,
was acciden1ly shot in the breast with a
rifle in the hands of George Kord enat,
son of DR.. F. W. Kordenat. Young
Kordenat was shooting at birds at his
home in the First ward and while plac-
ing cap on the weapon it prematu-ely
discharged, the ball penetrating the left
breast of the girl, who happened to be
standing by watching the process of load
ing. At first it was thought she was
seriously hurt, but upon examination by
DR.. Spalding it was found that the wound
was apparently a slight one, although the
ball was not found until the next morn
ing when it was discovered in the bed by
the side Of the girl. Little Marie is now
all right aud she must be regarded as
having been born under a lucky planet
for so narrow escape from an accident
that might bavesproved 60 serious. But
what must be said of the young man
using rifle under such circumstances?
We trust it will be lesson to him never
to engage in like pastime again. Shoot
ing harmless little birds and firing loaded
weapons within the city limits are both
violations of the law and he and others
should understand it. There are too
many instances of firing loaded guns oc-
curing whereby the lives of persons are
endangered and there should be less of
such work in the future.

THE SHOOTING OF HADDOCK.

Sioux CITY, Ia, Oct. 9.-The one topic
of conversation upon the streets of this
city is the startling developments in re-
la.ion to the murder of the Rev. George
G. Haddock on the night of August 8.
About ten days ago ID. W. Wood, the
prosecuting attorney in the cases against
the saloonkeepers in this city, and Mr..
Hill, an employe of the Sioux City paper,
left this city to work up a clue for the
capture of EEL. L. Leavitt, who had disap-
peared and who was wanted for compile
ity in the conspiracy to murder Mr..
Paddock. They went to Chicago, and,
soon getting into the confidence of some
of the theatrical fraternity of that city,
they learned that Leavitt was then in
Mobile organizing variety theater.
Correspondence was opened and negotia-
tons entered into with him by which be
came directly to Chicago; and, being
promised protection from the penalties of
the law, he agreed to turn states evil
dence and make full confession of the
plot. He then made written confession.
which was made public at late hour
last evening. In the confession, sworn
to before Merritt D. Cobb, notary public,
of Chicago, Leavitt charges that the
shooting was done by John Arensdorf,
foreman of the Franz Brewing company,
and one of its stockholders. Arensdorf is
rich, public-spirited, of excellent business
repute and popular. His character has
stood without blemish in the community
for years, and against mere suspicion he
would be invulnerable. He has an open,
honest face and unfincbing blue eyes,
but is suffering greatly just now from
nervous prostration. Those who know
him wonder whether he is mental suf-
ferer from remorse or unjust disgrace.
A dispatch from Sioux City, dated Oct.
II, says:
Arensdorf was held in bonds of $4,000
to answer before the grand jury TO the
charge of conspiracy and in 5000 to
answer to the charge of murder. The
bonds OF George Lang, Henry Sherman,
Paul Leader and Fred Munchrath Jr.,
charged with conspiracy, were filed at
$4,000 each. All the men gave bonds
except Lang, who was remanded to jail
in default of bail. The district court will
meet Oct. %.
