tered upon it's 33d year, having been
established in 1856, making it the old
est newspaper in Dodge county. The
present proprietor, Thos. Hughes, has
staid by The Citizen since it's establish
ment, in one capacity or another, and
may he live to continue in his good
work many years more.
Bids for the location of the pro-
posed worlds fair in 1892 are rapidly
multiplying. At first Washington, New
York and Chicago only were in the
field, with but very weak voice from
the first-named. Now, Boston, St. Louis
and Cincinnati are looming up, each
with some separate claim for prece-
dence. The more the merrier, but the
choice will finally settle down to New
York and Chicago, and great will be
the conflict and uncertain the outcome
between these two colossal contest
ants.

Not little excitement has
been aroused over the post
Office tangel in GAINESVILLE, between
the friends of Bliss and. Bowles. The
feeling engendered in the matter has
been felt all over the First district. To
Milwaukee Sentinel reporter at Fort
Atkinson Friday last Hon. L. B. Cas-
we'll gave the following statement ofthe
case, which shows up the affair in an
altogether different light from that rep
resented by many
''The controversy about the postoffice
in GAINESVILLE is probably ended" said
Mr.. Caswell. ''Mr. Bowles will exc
cute his official bond to-day and his
commission will soon follow. His ap-

to me, and he had the strongest peti-
