Mrs. Dudley NJ. FITZGERALD.

The subject of this obituary passed
away last Wednesday morning, May
%, 1894, at her residence, 912 Third
street, after long aff1iction from creep
ing paralysis. Mrs. Fitzgerald had
been confined to her bed for the great
er part of the past year, and although
no hopes were entertained for her ul-
innate recovery, her death was met
with feelings of sincere regret in a
community where she had always lived
and been a respected and esteemed
example of woman's true worth. The
deceased was born in this city, May
II, 1858, and was therefore little past
Al years of age. During her long con-
tinued illness Mrs. Fitzgerald bore her
suffering with Christian fortitude and
patience characteristic of her kind and
gentle disposition, and she passed to
the other world in the full communion
and faith of the Episcopal church, her
confirmation taking place on her death
bed, so to speak, few months ago by
Bishop Nicholson. She is survived by
her husband, one brother, George
Weissert, of Minneapolis. and one sis
ter, Mrs. L. Damp, of Clyman, and the
full measure of sympathy is extended
to them in their deep sorrow by large
circle of friends, who in her death feel
the loss of a loving and trusted com
paniOn.
Mrs. Fitzgerald's funeral was held
Friday afternoon from her late home,
where Rev. DR.. f. S. Jewell, of Por-
tage, conducted the beautiful service
of the Episcopal church and the quar-
tette of st. Paul's church choir-Mrs.
Paul Naler1us, Mrs. Fl. T. Eberle, Edw.
L. Schempf and Max Rohr-assisted
by the organist, Mrs. g. w. Green,
rendered appropriate music. The
Order of the Eastern Star, of
which the deceased was an honored
member, attended the funeral in
a body and escorted the remains to the
last resting place in Oak Hill cemetery,
where the burial ritual of the order
was read by the worthy matron, Mrs.
s. r. Sleeper, and the worthy patron,
VIM. II. Rohr. 1t was the first death
in the order and the ceremonies were
very impressive

NJ ust Not PLAY Ball.

Editor Republican The city fathers
have passed an ordinance forbidding
the playing, tossing or throwing of a
ball in any of the streets. This shows
that they are fathers without children
or at least have no boys That is a
first rate ordinance to 90 along with
the old Connecticut blue law declaring
that a man shall not kiss his wife Oh
Sunday. Does the council expect to
enforce any such regulation easier than
it could one to prevent boys from play
ing marbles, spinning tops or flying
kites? My neighbours boy was hurt
last week in throwing bean bags and
this too should be regulated by ordi-
nance if ball playing is to be, for one is
just as reasonable as the other. And
then that no partiahty be shown to
girls they should not be permitted to
Jump the rope, roll hoop or chew
gum on the streets, making honors easy
all around, But seriously, gentlemen
of the couDcil, YOU have been led into
passing silly ordinance which should
be repealed at once. Remember you
were once boys yourselves.

CIyman'S SMALLPOX Victims
The Sentinel of last Friday containe,
the following:

The Sentinel of last Friday contained
the following:
Health Commissioner Kempster's
prophecy, that with the constant travel
between Milwaukee and Chicago and
other cities where smallpox is raging,
1T IS impossible to escape the disease
here, has partially been realized and
the health department physicians now
find themselves confronted with a new
case. 1t is not thought to be very SER
1ous, as only four persons have been ex-
posed to It's cOntagion The name Of
the patient is Mrs. Margaret Sullivan.
Of Redwood, Dodge county. who
came to this city for treatment at the
st. Mary's hospital on Tuesday after
noon.
Mrs. Sullivan and her family live
on farm IN Dodge county. On MAY 9
she nursed a Mrs Barry at a neighbor's
house. Mrs. Barry came from Cbica-
go and after being i'll two weeks died.
The physicians who attended her did
not diagnose the disease as small-pOx.
Mrs. Enright, sister of Mrs. Barry.
also nursed the sick woman and has
since been taken i'll at Watertown with
smallpox.
After Mrs. Barry's funeral Mrs. Sui
lIvan was taken i'll and decided to
come to this city for treatment. DR..
Dempsey attended her at ST. Marv's
hospital and yesterday eruptions ap-
peared. The case was diagnosed as
smallpox and toe patient was taken
to the Isolation hospital A nurse and
three patients at the St. Mary's hospi-
tai, who where exposed to Mrs. Suili-
van, were vaccinated and placed in
quarantine IN a separate ward at the
hospital. DR.. Kempster saws that the
case is ID its initial stage, thereby les
sening the danger of infection.
The case above alluded to is that Of
the wife of Daniel Sullivan, whom we
stated last week was reported sick with
the pox. 1t appears that upon failure
to secure medical aid from this city,
Mr.. Sullivan took his wife to Milwau-
kee and had her placed in st. Mary's
hospital, as narrated above. Later re-
ports are quite favorable as to her re
covery.
The town of Clymsn now possess es
two other smallpox cases in the bone
of }. j. Sullivan, a brother of Daniel
Sull1 van and living in the same neigh
borhood. This is the place where Mrs.
Barry was treated and died. The pa
tlents are Mr.. Sullivan's wife and lis
son. The former is quite i'll, but the
latter has only a mild form of the
disease. These, of course, are cases
infected from the original Chicago
case-Mrs. Barry-as is also the one in
Milwaukee,

On the 14th of June at high noon
Miss Bessie, The only daughter of the
Rev. DR.. and Mrs. Johnson, of St.

City Government Suggestions.

1o1'oT experimentation thirty years Water
town has been staggering under a heavy load
of debt which caused her to lose her standing
as sixth in the list of Wisconsin cities in noint
of population in 1860 and take sixteenth
place in 1890. This was a bitter exDeriepee
and cost her, directly and indirectly. brn.
dreds of thousands of dollars IT taught
lesson which it would seem should not soon
be forgotten, but appearances Indicate that
it has been. Just as the clouds are brealrin r
and daylight can be seen ahead, our citizens
are threatened with another heavy debt and
jump from the frying pan into the fire
through repetition of the troubles which
have so long tOrmented them. Your cOrre--
spondent, Taxpayers last week gave some d,
ngures which Indicate the danger which lies
before us. Already the city has issued $40, 900
IN bonds for sewerage purposes, besides
SlU,0OO given to MeSsrS. Hall and Bird for at
torneys' fees 1t will take $4,000 more to pay
Tor the sewer now under contract and not
one cent less. Then there is the $50, 900 Met
calf judgment. The current expenses of the
city are to be met also and will now be larger
than ever. The special assessments on sewer
age account will also be heavy and the tax
list will be simply astounding, even though
no more contracts for improvements be en-
tered into for some time to come. It will be
long while before the cry is again heard
that the city never knew what it was to be
taxed. Taxpayers will know all about it
hereafter, particularly $ when waterworks
come of which there are rumors afoat al
ready.
The question now is what will the common
council do about it. Let me suggest forits
consideration that this is q time of great de-
preston. Money is scarce, hundreds of peo-s.
pie are out Of employment Or are earning
much less than two years ago, and they find
it difficult to support their families, let alone
pay eXOrbitant taxes. Why then shut their
eyes and turn deaf ear to these facts, rush
ing headlong into expenditures which are
not necessary and for which their cOnstitu-
ents are not prepared2 Why not, before 60
ing any further, count the cost and find out
whether the 100000 sewer we are getting is
to be a success? Many people think it will
be failure or at least of doubtful utility on
account of defective planning and faulty con- %
structiOn. In any event the city has become
involved for all it can pay and the council
should from now on study the closest econo
my, relieving taxpayers of every possible
burden In this way only will they command
the appreciation of the people whose servants

AS to Building Drains.

Many people have mistaken ideas as
to the regulations concerning the
building of drains and think it entirely
optional with themselves whetherthey
will make connection with the sewers
or not. They are in error in this, as
will be seen by section 1876 of city char
ter, which vests the board of public
works with full power to require
drain to De built from every lot where
it may see fit. Lot owners will find
that about all they have to say or do
hereafter in the matter of improve
ments is to foot the bills, smile and
be happy.

ANSWER TO THE ssAPPEAL.' ,,
A Santa Fe EmplOye, Native of Sweden,
Writes Open Letter.

a Santa Ee Employee Native OF sweden
Writes an Open Letter.
Carl w. Dehn, of this city, takes ex-
ceptions to the language used by the
author of the "appeal to the Santa Fe
shopmen." Mr.. Dehn addresses an open
letter to the author of that appeal as
follows:
In your appeal you class US Swedes as
Ignorant people" afraid to say that our
souls are our own, and are willing to take
any kind of ''dog treatment from our
respective bosses. Moreover, you affirm
that we are willing to work for any
kind of wages, no matter how small.
In the first place, you expose your ig-
norance by saying that we are an ignO-
rant class. One acquainted with the
educational systems of the different ma
tiOns, would know that no nation on earth
has better educational system than
does Sweden, and no nation makes great
er demands upon and from her pupils.
In general, we Swedes are able to do
our work in a satisfactory manner, con-
sequently we are not subject to 'dog
treatment" In answer to the allegation,
'that we are afraid to claim our own
souls,' l would suggest that to the aver
age minded man it would seem that the
writer of the appeal was somewhat Curl
Gus about his own skin, as he failed to
attach his signature to the hieroglyphics.
As to wages, l will admit that l am not
we'll informed, but think that no Swede
works for Is cents an hour. For my
part 1 receive 20 cents per hour and
hope for 271s cents when business in
creases, if l am not laid off before that
time arrives. l will say this that 1
have been laid off three different
times during my six years service for
Santa Fee company, Notwithstanding that
l am a '.Swede" Not being politician,
1 will say nothing to your politics, but
think it would be to ones own interest
TO cast his vote for the best interests of
the company, so long as he intends to be
an employee of the company. For, as
the appeal says. the workman will be the
first one to suffer from dull business. 1
wonder if the writer of the appeal would
reduce his own salary if he were manag-
ing the Santa Fe company's affairs?
