slipped down and threw him to the

him on the arm. The Marshal how
ever, is attending to his duties as usual.

The wind and rain storm of Tuesday,
although not of unusual violence in the
immediate vicinity of our city. caused
considerable damage to corn and oats
few miles north of u.s. and also near
Fennimore. A heavy wind accompan-
led the rain and blew down whole fields
of corn which it is thought will not
straighten up again. Oats being ripe
the damage to it, is OF course less. as
most Uf it, though down, can be cut.
l.. j. Arthur and family of Evanston,
H., are in the city visiting at the home
of M. M. Ziegler, Esq. We don't see
that they have changed any except that
the children are growing into young men
and ladies, and that John is somewhat
stouter than he used to be. His real
estate business in Chicago and Evanston
has evidently prospered, for care and
worry have not pinched nor wrinkled
his face into giving his years away by
any means.
Last Sunday. DIR. E. w. Beebe. a
Milwaukee oculist removed a cataract
from the left eye of M. j. Suttle, Esq.
who resides a lew miles west of this
city The affliction has caused Mr..
Suite to suffer severely for over two
years as well as TO be deprived of the
sight of ore eye. The result of the
operation is the partial restoration of
sight and as no bad symptoms have
thus far shown themselves. complete
restoration of the eye is hoped for.
W. C. Warner of New York, the
fluent and howery democratic orator,
sent out by the Democratic National
Committee to stump the state, will
speak here on the Goth inst. Those
who attended the Monona Assembly
July 90. National Day, will remember
Mr.. Warner, and doubtless also re-
member the convincing argument pre-
sented by Gov. Mckinley on the same
day, which literally knocked the bot
tom out of Mr.. Warmers flowery
speech.
We thought we had Weather master
Burr last Tuesday when he wrote on
his little black board Local Showers /"
The day was clear and warm and it
did not look at all like rain until, 10 and
behold; clouds began to gather in the
northwest just where he said they
would and right away the rain came
down in torrents. Mr.. Burr mas hit the
correct thing too many times already to
admit of any more foolirg. When he
says Rain you may as well begin to
get out your umbrellas. He means it..
and you'll get wet if you don't.
The Republican Senatorial Conven-
ton at Boscobel is In full blast as we
go to press. Twelve ballots have been
taken and nothing definite as to who
will be nominated is known. Each
county supports its own candidate. j.
H. Wagner of Richland county has 13
votes. c. II. Baxter goes in with the
Grant delegation, and C. S. Fuller with
the Crawford contingent The conven-
ton will doubtless be IN session until
late, as it is not probable that any one
of the three candidates will be dropped,
until all efforts to nominate have been
made
The Lancaster House kept by Chas.
Angus, Esq. has put on an entirely new
appearance since he took possession of
it. The roof has been raised, new and
well ventilated rooms have been built
and the entire building furnished
throughout with new beds and bedding,
new carpets and excellent new furni-
ture of latest styles and finish. In fact
Mr.. Angus has left nothing undone that
will contribute to the convenience and
comfort of his guests. The last coat of
paint is now gong on the outside of the
hotel, and the building adds much to
the appearance of that part of the city.
The Lancaster Driving Association
are making arrangements for a series
of three grand National races to be held
