Pinch That Ia Nor Pernicious

In the account of certain church festivi-
ties In the local columns of yesterdays
Journal the fact that punch was served as
part of the refreshments was innocently
mentioned. This leads an alarmed SUBJ
scriber of piOus tendencies to inquire
whittier we are drifting when beverage
of this demoralizing character is boldly
and shamelessly dealt out to innocent
youth and unsuspecting saints in the very
sanctuary itself. Without solicitation
from the brethren under suspicion of being
responsible for the demoralizing drink, but
animated solely by the benevolent design
of relieving them from blame. the Journal
hastens to explain that punch. as 1t is
known to the participants In church festi-
walls, is not the goddess drink it purports to
be. 1t is now generally admitted. in spite
of the charges of unprincipled newspaper
writers to the contrary, that oysters are
really used in the concoction of church fes-
tival oyster soup. In church punch. how
ever. wine has no part. Not even wine
bottle is brought near it. Church punch is
mild and harmless mixture of lemon juice.
sugar and water, with the addition of q
mysterious cOloring matter to give 1t the
tint of the genuine spirituous and satanic
article. This drink Is SO deceptive in ap-
pearance that it has been known to
deceive even the elect-that is
to say. those reformed wOrldings
who once knew the enticements of punch
in its original form. and to cause them
much surprise. not to say disappointment.
on the discovery of its true and unex-
hilarating character. Again the Journal
assures it's anxious readers that the punch
referred to in its local columns had no per-
niclous qualities. At all events it assumes
this to be the case In this instance. though
no samples were sent for its inspection.

John D. Bullock for Railroad Com
missioner

Hon. John D. Bullock, of Johnson's
Greek, is announced as candidate for
railroad commissioner before the COM
ing Republican State convention. His
candidacy would prove popular one,
not alone in Jefferson county, but
throughout the state. Mr.. Bullock's
legislative experience, extending
through a period Of four terms in the
assembly, makes his acquaintance ex-
tensive, while the able, capable and
satisfactory manner with which he dis
charged the duties of sheriff of this
county at time when there was the
most urgent necessity and the strongest
demand from the taxpayers for re-
form in this important office, renders
his name rallying point of strength
at home. He is quite familiar with
railroad work, is possessed of sterling
business qualifications, and no better
equipped man for the position of rail-
road commissioner can be found in the
state; and, to judge from the past, no
candidate can be presented who would
develop greater strength in the can
vass than John D. Bullock.
Mr.. Bullock's popularity is not con-
fined to mere party lines, as is shown
by the records that upon each occa-
sion when he was a candidate for the
assembly, he ran in district contain
ing good, round Democratic major
ity, and as a still more noteworthy
proofo the positiveness of his strength
the fact can be cited, that when elect
ed sheriff Of Jefferson county he over
came and wiped out majority of
LOO, which was given the Democratic
candidate for sheriff, Fred Hing, only
Two years before. Mr.. Bullock is truly
man of the people, and the people
knowing his worth and frmness of
character back up their good opinion
of him by according to him their active
support at the polls. He would bring
votes to the support of the Republican
state ticket, and the Republicans of
Wisconsin will find it III the line of
party success to place the name of
John d. Bullock before the people for
the Office of railroad commissioner.

NOTES OF THE GAME.
Keel caught his usual perfect game
and managed to get in his regulation
two hits.
Hansell made two pretty catches of
fly balls in right field
was in center field for the locals. His
hitting was hard, but he had an unfor-
tunate error in allowing the ball to get
away from him when it meant a sure
run.
That was clever double play which
Oestreicber, Long and Steinberg per-
formed in the seventh inning. It was
very swift
By playing a short field Frank Smith
captured hard line drive off Hansell's
bat in the last inning which would
have been good for at least two bases
had it not been caught. 1t probably
saved the game, for moment later A.
Roessler lined out single.
Warner, who played here two years
ago, put up the same dashing, brilliant
game on third base for Jefferson which
Watertown people are wont to see
from him.
Mr.. Fear umpired the game in most
impartial and satisfa Glory manner. AL
though on a couple occasions be was
palpably off on judgment concerning
balls and strikes, his decisions as a gen
eral thing showed him to be possessed
of a fine knowledge of the rules, and
he was withal the sole master of the
game. He gave the pitchers the cor
ners Of the plate every time, and the
batter could not afford to wait for them
to cut the plate.

Free Mail Delivery.

Postoffice Inspector Pulcifer was here
three days last week with reference to
the establishment of free mail deliv-
cry service in this city. It is under
stood that be made a favorable report
and recommended four carriers be al
lowed for the service. Should his re-
port be favorably acted upon by the
Postmaster General, as it doubtless will
be, the service will probably take effect
by November 1st, or not later than
December LIST. The numbering of the
houses must be first completed, and
some other requirements met, which
will make necessary this delay. The
service will not, as is generally sup
posed, cover the entire city, the area
being too large, and some portions
being too sparsely settled. Streets
without sidewalks are also excluded
under thespostal regulations, which is
reasonable enough considering that the
carriers are to make two trips daily
land in the business districts three or
FOUR in all kinds of weather, and they
cannot be expected to wade through
mud six inches deep, nor snow banks
reaching over their heads. The service
can be extended as the city grows and
the business of the postoffice warrants
it, and it is hoped it will not be long
before this can be done so as to en-
brace more territory than it is possible
to cover at first. 1t is expected that
there will be twenty-nine letter boxes
stationed at such points throughout
the city as will afford the greatest &C
commodation. Inspector Pulcifer went
carefully over the ground, making
thorough investigation Of the needs Of
the city, ard we believe the conclu-
sions reached by him will be found
generally satisfactory

Killed in the Town of Milford.

Henry Rupprecht, assistant pastor
of the German Evangelical church in
the town of Milford, was instantly
killed last Saturday afternoon while
getting down from a load of hay be-
tween, the fore part of the wagon and
the horses, The team undoubtedly be-
came frightened as soon as Mr.. Rupp-
recht reached the ground and began to
kick, one of the horses striking him in
the forehead and knocking him under
the wagon. The horses then started
to run, the wheels passing over the
PROSTATE form of the unfortunate man.
Life was extinct when the body was
picked up.
The deceased was twenty-eight years
old at the time of his death. He was
well-known in the town of Milford and
in this vicinity.
The funeral services were held Tues
day afternoon, Rev. Nickel, of the
Evangelical church of this place, offici-
ating. The remains were buried in
the Milford cemetery.-Jeferson Ban

Base Ball.

|
A game of ball between Jefferson and
Watertown is invariably sure to arouse
unusual interest and enthusiasm, and
| the one last Sunday was no exception
| to the rule. The Watertown ball park
contained the biggest crowd of the sea-
son, large delegations being present
from Jefferson, Oconomowoc and other
surrounding towns, and very orderly
assemblage it was, too. While much
better exhibitions of ball playing have
taken place here, there have been none
which afforded more interest to the
spectators than that of Sunday, solely
from the fact that the two opposing
Jefferson Blues and the Schiller &
Quentmeyers. Although the visitors
were defeated by score Of to 3, it
was anybody's game to the very end,
and the result was in doubt until Hing
struck out in the last inning. Jefferson
brought up team of strong individual
players, and had they more opportun-
ity to play together would undoubtedly
develop into quite powerful aggrega
ton. AS it was, they lacked team
work. 1t is hardly necessary to speak
of the work of the home team. Nearly
everybody expects to see them win and
they very rarely disappoint their on
lockers. We have, though, seen them
play better ball, and have seen Smith
pitch more effectively, but the main
point is to win, and as long as they
accomplished that end all shortcom-
ings may we'll be overlooked. Each
team has now won a game on their
home grounds, and it is hoped the
third will be arranged at some neutral
point. We understand a game at Ju-
neau, after the manner of the one last
summer, is on the tapis.
The way the runs were made may be
of some interest. After j. Smith had
flown out to center field in the first in
ming, Long cracked out pretty single
and was advanced to third on Hopp's
hard hit for base; Keel sacrificed and
the fleet second baseman scored the
first run of the game. In the fifth F.
Smith scored on his own basehit, Chris
tens sacrifice, a passed ball, and balk
by Buchta. Keel singled in the sixth
and crossed the plate on successive
errors by Whittet and Warner. Long
scored the last run for the home team
in the eighth on his three-bagger along
the right foul line and Fred Smiths
failure to handle Hopp's grounder.
Warner for the Blues tied the score in
the last half of the first inning on his
single, steal of second and Hansell's
basehit. The score was again tied in
the fifth on Buchta's two-bagger and
errors by J. Smith and Hopp. The Wis
itors' third run was made in the eighth,
Oestreicher's error giving Buchta life
at first, and Warmers scratch single
and Whittet's sacrifice assisting him to
score. A home run for Jefferson in
the ninth would have changed the re-
suit of the game very materially, when,
with two out and A. Roessler on first,
Hing failed to hit anything save the
atmosDhere The score.

Donaldson the Aeronaut,

MONMOUTH, Aug. 2.-IO the Editor
In what year and under what circum-
stances. was Donaldson, aeronaut, lost?
J. M.
Prof. Washington Donaldson, the
ae1onaut, assembled from the Lake
Front on Thursday, July Is, 1875. He
was accompanied by Newton S. Grim
wood, a reporter. Both were lost, and
although the body of Grimwood was
afterwards found, that of Donaldson
was never recovered.
Donaldson was with theBarnum show
when the fatal ascent was made. On
July 18th he, with party of newspaper
men, made a successful trip. AS only
a limited number could be taken in the
balloon, when the time came for the
last ascension Grimwood and James
Maitland were to accompany the aero
naut. At the last moment it was dis
covered that one of the newspaper
men could not go, as the balloon would
not rise with the weight attached to it.
The two men, after a discussion, drew
lots, and Maitland left the car The
balloon then floated away and was lost
in storm which came up on the lake
later.-I71ter Ocean.
Our townsman, VIM. F. Sommerfeld,
was at this time employed as ticket
seller with the Barnum show, and it
was by the merest accident that he did
not take the place of Grimwood. He
bad been offered the opportunity to
make the ascension and accepted it,
but something interfered just at the
last moment to prevent his going.
