Fort Atkinson.

The Northwestern Manufacturing
company's works are as lively as a bee
hive in July.
Fort Atkinson not only needs chem
ical fire engine but she needs forty
thousand dollars worth of water works,
before she can induce outside manu-
featuring establishments to locate here,
and herself grow in way that means
increase in value to business property.
A Fort Atkinson Lodge of Knights of
Pythias was instituted by Grand Chan
cellor Jefries, of GAINESVILLE. He was
accompanied by about twenty other
gentlemen and party of ten from Wa
tertown. An excellent dinner was
gotten upfor them at the Higbee house.
A remarkable feature of the evening
was a hale and hearty billy-goat, real
live and odoriferous specimen of James
ville's best herds, and when one says
this, one is saying much. He stamped
and paved the sacred floors of the Hig-
bee hostelry, and made himself at home
there in special was before being led
up the stairs to the German Odd Eel
lows hall where the candidate knights
were to be rounded up.-Umion

The fire in the woodland west of the
village was set by crazy man, for after
the fire was put out it started again in
another part of the timber Monday af-
ternoon, and while going to extinguish
it, Lewis Lewellin's hired man met a
man who threatened to shoot him. at
the same time raising stick he had in
his hand; as the hired man started to-
wards him he ran and is believed to
have left the woods. He should be
caught and taken care of, as farmers
with timber land cannot afford to have
a fire-bug walking about lighting fires
these droughty days.-9ouynaI

brothers, about two and half miles
east of here. The house was being

school buildings and schools and col

a credit to any place of this size; her

extensive elevators and warehouses
her many elegant residences; her four
newspapers; her fine hotels, and other
attributes of busy and thriving city,
there is much that inspires hope and
confidence for the future. At the next
election she should, if possible, dis
pense with her system of stump-tail
city government and take on all the
honors and advantages of full-fedged
common council, with mayor at it's
head. The city charter should be re-
modeled-ln fact, made over entirely to

none such now, but let there be more
of them. Let them be selected with

Of all other considerations, and bene-
fetal results will be sure to follow
With an agricultural country surround
ing it unsurpassed anywhere; with rail-
road facilities far ahead of those en-
joyed by other more pretentious cities,
and with advantages which every one
will concede are of the highest order,
it needs only the right kind of an ex-
ertion on the part of her citizens to
bring her as rapidly to the front as a
few years ago she fell suddenly to the
rear. The formation of a Business Mems
association, as suggested by THE REPUB-
LICAN, which should be all that the name
implies, could not help being prod uctive
of much good, and one should be insti
tuted with view to promoting the in
terests of the city in all legitimate ways.
With systematic effort and united ac-
ton, an organization of this kind could
be made of lasting benefit, and no time
should be lost in esta blishing one on a
sound and efficient basis. q.

A Peep into the Future.

Editor Republican:
The talk of water-works and better
system of sewerage as among the posi-
BILE improvements to come next in this
city, should crystalize into something
more substantial than words. Both are
highly desirable and should be esupplied
as soon as practicable. Watertown is
behind the times in these respects.
There are good and substantial reasons
why other cities which do not possess
the natural advantages she does have
outran her in the race for growth and
business prosperity, but these no longer
exist with the bugbear of the bonded
city debt out of the way. Evidences
are seen on every hand of fresh conf
dence on the part of our capitalists, as
is shown by the enterprise recently
undertaken by William Buchheit, in
volving an investment of $4,000 or
more in the erection os an elevator and
melt-house. His example should be
followed by others looking especially
to an increase of manufacturing inter-
ests which do so much to build up a
town. The advance in real estate is
noticeable, and the sales recently made
show that the city is on the up grade,
