The above figures show the popula-
ton of city Of Watertown to be 1862 in
1890, against Z 1888 in 1880, gain of 1859,
or nearly 10 per cent. In 1885 the state
census Of the city was S,4S4 showing a
gain of 16S. While not making the adj
vances in population compared with
our advances in improvements, there
is nothing particularly discouraging in
the figures. But the necessity is shown
for renewed efforts towards increasing
our material prosperity by every means
within our power.
Deducting the population of the Fifth
and Sixth wards from the above figures
we find the total population of Jeffer-
son county to be 80 1856 for 1890 and for
1880, 80, l56, gain in the ten years of
700. The state census of 1885 gave
the county 1926, a reduction in five
years of 400.

Fisher & Aiken's Combined Monster
Shows

Every amusement patron from Maine
to Texas knows George Fisher and
George Aiken, either personally or by
reputation. For quarter of a century
or more they have been old John Rob-
inson's most able executive officers,
and now they start out for themselves,
with bran new progressive canvas
show, that is destined to prove a for
midable rival to all other tented ex-
hibitions. The extended and practical
experience of Messrs. Fisher & Aiken
have led them to know exactly what
the public require in the way of amuse-
ments, and to satisfy these require
ments they have found it necessary to
make many new departures from the
old ruts of travelling entertainments.
Their show is indeed a novelty in al
most every sense, as the reader will OBJ
serve by referring to its description
elsewhere in these columns.
Fisher & Aiken's Combined Monster
shows will be in Watertown, Friday,
July 25. Our exchanges everywhere
give this entertainment high reputa-
ton, and which is doubtless deserved,
from the fact that the management are
practical and experienced showmen
and know just what the public want.

Obituary.

Again is the hearthstone of Mr.. and
Mrs Geo. r. Burdick, of Pipersville,
made desolate by the death, Sunday
evening, July 20, of their son Nay Bur-
dick, aged IL years, l month and Ii
days, from diphtheria, the dreaded dis
ease that carried off another dear one
of their household only few weeks
before. Nay was great favorite, and
a particularly attractive child because
of his quaint, winning ways, fitting one
much older than himself. His funeral
was held Monday afternoon, and his
body laid to rest by the side of his
little brother in the Pipersville ceme-
terry. The sorrow of the parents can
only be measured by the terrible loss
they have sustained, and thesssssym-
pathy of all goes out to them in their
dire affection.

commenced in the county court of
Dodge county by Ida May Bentert to
secure portion of the property of the
late Herman Bentert, of Emmett. The
complaint alleges that the deceased
was married to Paulina Hecht, Ida 8
mother, and deserted his wife and
child to live with another woman. It
is claimed there never was any divorce
and never any legal marriage in the
second instance. By his last alliance
there were born four children, and Ida
seeks as his lawful child to secure a
division of the property held by the
four ofsprings of the second woman.

and many windows were finely trim

tons. About $50 delegates reported in
person.

are under the stated circumstances,
weary and sick of their offices, al
though the cause which they have Ia
bored for is dear to them. It is OPP
tional with the assembled delegates
whether the state organization shall
further exist or not. The wish alone
to continue the SO far really successful
organization is not enough, there must
something further be done at once,
right here at this convention. If you
want to perpetuate the association then
you must guarantee the new board of
directors the means of subsistence and
sufficient means that it may work effec-
tually. 1t grieves me, to be compelled
to mention this, that while know that
the board of directors have done their
duty, that the brewers and wholesale
liquor dealers of Milwaukee, have
never forsaken the state organization,
and that this has only been done by
the brewers and saloonkeepers outside
of Milwaukee, especially the latter will
have to blame themselves if by their
sordid interest and pitiful stinginess,
the Wisconsin State Anti Prohibition
association should be compelled to dis
band"
After the transaction of some minor
business the association adjourned to
$50 o'clock this morning.
