There is no trace or clue to the
whereabouts of Duane Green, the young
man who mysteriously disappeared
from Hebron ten or twelve days ago.
His friends have little hopes of finding
him alive, the prevailing impression
being that he wandered off in temper
airy dementia, met with accident, or
made way with himself.
The coming st. Patricks day will
be duly celebrated by the students of
Sacred Heart college by the presenta-
ton of the great play of "Pizarro," by
Richard Brinsley Sheridan, one of the
renowned men of his time. The prin-
cipal characters in the play will be ia
ken by the best talent in the college,
and large audience will doubtless wit
ness the effort.
The Watertown Machine company
disposed of their interests here to the
Berlin Machine company, of Beloit,
the transfer taking place last week. By
this transaction Watertown, we regret
to say, loses another mandatory,
which had kept employed a number of
men, and thus was of vital Importance
to the place. Can we hope to see the
space made void filled by another es-
adjustment soon?
The young man, August Schuster,
arrested here Feb. q, for committing
the murderous assault upon Rose Sack
man near Baraboo, Feb. Z, is still con-
fined in the Sank county Jail. A dis
patch from Baraboo, Feb. 2Sth, says
"The examination of August Schuster
has again been postponed, owing to the
condition of Rose Sackman, who is yet
unable to leave her bed. The prisoner
was taken before her this afternoon,
and she identified him beyond doubt
as the man who committed the brutal
assault upon her."
Rev. DIR. Colman of Beaver Dam de-
livered the third lecture on the M. E.
church course last evening, before
large and appreciative audience. The
subject was "Pre-Adamites, (which had
a bearing upon the great question of
evolution. The speaker maintained his
reputation for deep thought and thor
ough research, combating successfully
many of the fine spun theories of the
so-called scientists in treating upon the
subject of the origin of man.
Ernst Denim, the census supervisor
of this district, having declined the ap-
pointment the friends of VIM T. Ram
busch, Of Juneau, are urging him for
the place. No better man could be
obtained for the Office, and certainly
no Republican is more entitled to the
recognition. His appointment would
give general satisfaction, and insure to
the people of the district a careful and
faithful performance of the work of the
office. Mr. Rambusch is now in Wash
ington.
LATER.-Mr Rambusch's name has
been sent to Superintendent Porter and
his appointment will be made, proba-
bly, to-day. The appointment reflects
credit on the census department.
The following gossip appears about
a former Watertown girl:
HELENA, Mont, March 3.-Mrs. Ber
tina Hegener, of Minneapolis, who, it
was reported, had eloped with man
named Ingle, from that city, is now liv
ing here. She denies the charge that
she eloped, and says: E'Three months
before coming here [ told my friends [
was coming, and made no secret of it.
I happened to come on the same train
with the Ingle boys, and their friends
and mine were at the depot to see us
