Rev. F. S. Jewell preached an able
discourse at st. Paul's church last Sun
day evening upon the destruction of
the earth by fire, giving conclusions
based upon the intimations in St.
Peters gospels, as well as in ST. Paul s,
by science and astronomy

C B. Skinner, a well-known attor-
ney, of Watertown, is in the city. Mr..
Skinner is rara avis in that he is
wholly innocent of politics. At least
he would not express any opinion on
political matters. The appointment of
J. T. Moak as postmaster gives general
satisfaction, he says. Moak keeps the
office up in better shape than any other
postmaster they have had, and, beside,
is personally very popular. The city
election in Watertown occurs in April,
but not single candidate has yet been
suggested. Ece,oing Wisconsin.

annual report that 80 babies were cared
for at the institution during 1889. The
number at the home at the beginning
of the past year was IL, and during the
year Is girls and 81 boys were admitted
OF the so babies who were inmates of
the home 10 were returned to their
parents or friends, 6 were adopted, II
died, and IL are still sheltered in the
home. The sum of 1916 was contribut-
ed to the home last month by the Sun
day school and Mission band of the
Congregational church, Watertown.
A bill based upon plan originated
by the Pabst Brewing company, Mil
waukee, will be introduced in congress,
allowing breweries to be connected
with their bottling works by pipe
lines. Under the present law the
bottling department must be separate
from the brewery, and a public highway
must pass between. Beer must be
barreled at the brewery, hauled to the
bottling house, and emptied into watts
before bottling This entails large
expense that the new plan, which pro
vides for meters, will save. The inter
nal revenue department favors the
change.
How rapidly the death rate among
the old soldiers is increasing is shown
by the reports now being received at
the Office of Col. Gray, adjutant of the
department of Wisconsin, GAR Thus
far $50 out of 263 posts have reported
and the death list numbers 134, where
as the total number of deaths reported
by Wisconsin posts last year was 129
This made a death rate of IL per 600
but if the 100 posts yet to be heard
from show the same proportionate NOR
tality as those that have already re.
ported, the rate for 1889 will not be fal
from 20 per 1000. Robert Chivas post
of Milwaukee, lost nine members by
death in 1882
