Lives Without Ribs.

What seems almost a miracle is the
case of John F. Hahn, a farm laborer
living in the town of Elba, whom ply
sicians had pronounced afflicted with
an incurable bone disease, and given
up. He was taken to Milwaukee about
a year ago, where DR.. Sem performed
a most difficult surgical operation upon
him, removing portion of three ribs
from his anatomy. This the patient,
owing to his weak condition, had to
undergo without the relief afforded by
opiates. The other day the man walked
unaided to Columbus and presented
himself on the streets there for the
first time in years.

United States Supreme Court.


There are 1900 cases on the docket
of the United States Supreme court and
new cases are accumulating faster than
the old ones can be disposed of. Among
the cases on the docket that may be
reached during the present term of the
court is that of Jas. Gooderham Worts,
executor against the city of Watertown,
in which jenkins & Winkler, of Mil
waukee, appear for the plaintiff and
Daniel Hall and g. w. Bird for this city.
Case No. 1928 on the calender that
of Elias w. Metcalf against the City of
Watertown, G. E. Monroe, of Milwau-
kee, being attorney for Metcalf and
Daniel Hall and G. W. Bird for the city,
has poor show of being called up this
term. The supreme court now sits
seven months of the year and it is un-
able to dispose of the cases as they come
UP from the lower courts. It can be
demonstrated that if the court, as at
present constituted, should remain in
session the year around, it would be
unable to transact all the business that
comes before it. But no solution of
the problem of what shall be done about
the supreme court and its surplus of
business has yet been offered, and the
matter grows in Importance andserious-
ness every day.

parted with her by conveyance for

Waukesha they went to Chicago, and
from there probably to Canada. Soon
after his departure he conveyed the

If you take stock Of the progress

to notice how the old methods of
selling have fallen out of use. No
more guessing about or rexperiment-

Milwaukee stands on equal footing
with New York or Boston, Paris or

Of price, too, perhaps--in favor of

Pm. S. s. MERRILL, Supt.
Feb. 7, 1861
We print it that those who have come
upon the stage of action since, can see
what our railroad accommodations here
were less than thirty years ago. AL
though the iron-horse had made his
way to Watertown several years prior
to the date mentioned, still it will be
seen that the facilities for travel were
decidedly limited, even then. There
was only one passenger train daily,
Sundays excepted, between Milwaukee
and this city, and of course but one
mail each day which arrived at even
ing. The time used in making the trip
was two hours and half and was then
considered rapid transit. Passengers
from here found no independent
through line for Chicago, but made
connection in Milwaukee by omnibus
or foot and walkers line" with trains
on the Chicago and Milwaukee road,
now the Chicago & Northwestern.
Columbus was then the western ter
minus of the route and had to content
itself with one train each way daily,
leaving there early in the morning and
arriving late in the evening The Madi-
son extension was then completed only
to Sun Prairie and the train and mail
arrangements were similar to those of
Columbus To 60 to Chicago and trans
act any business meanwhile involveda a
trip lasting three days. Such were the
accommodations for travel afforded the
people here in those days by what was
then known as the Milwaukee, Water
town and Baraboo Valley railroad, with
a mileage barely reaching into the hum
dreds. Novestibule trains, no sleeping
or dining cars, no electric light used in
Illuminating coaches, no nothing then
but on the most meager and limited
scale; or if not considered so at that
time it would be regarded as such now
and would not be tolerated by the
travelling public. Probably the service
rendered then was all that the times
demanded, or that could be expected
or afforded; but how strangely it all
seems contrasted with the extensive
train and mail arrangements of to-day.
With several trains each way between
here and Milwaukee, and two of them
making the time in trife over an hour,
enabling one to leave here in the morn
ing, spend several hours in Chicago and
reach home again in the evening, and
upon trains of unrivaled splendor and
equipments, the change is, indeed,
marked and wonderful. 1t is not i'm
possible, however, that the itemizer of
THE REPUBLICAN at the end of the next
% years will be able to record more
rapid strides in the march of improve
ment than those herein indicated. We
certainly hope so, and see no reason
why he may not.
