The courts of the Tennisassociation
are now ready for play and members
are invited to avail themselves of the
privileges.
The Concordia society, numbering
thirty members, leave on the fast mail
tomorrow morning to attend the La
Crosse sangerfest.
The John Lewis property, at Alb
Church street, will be sold by the ad-
ministrator, C. A. Skinner, next Satur-

AS it is the unanimous desire of the
Republicans of this city that Colonel
Stone should be supported for the
nomination of lieutenant governor,
delegates to the county convention will
use all honorable efforts towards its &C
complishment. No one should neglect
this duty.
Our manufactures, for the most
part, have been considerably incon-
venienced by the strike troubles in
not being able to ship freight. A
number have been forced to shut
down the past week on this account,
but remedy of the matter is looked
for In the near future.
Why not have our stores close dur
ing the dull months of July and August
at 6 or $50 P NJ? This is a move which
we notice has been inaugurated in sew
eral cities of the state, and cannot fail
to be popular with both clerks and
employers, who would then be enabled
to pass the summer evenings in some
pleasant diversion or as they chose,
instead of being confined continually
to their places of business.
WATERFOWL this year passed about
as quiet Fourth of July as was ever
experienced in her history. During
the day there was scarcely thing to
diversity the run of an ordinary day,
and the absence of many of our citizens,
especially the young people, was plain
ly noticeable. In the evening, how
ever, an immense concourse of people
gathered at Turner park to join in the
celebration being held there by the
band and the Turner society, viewing
the display of fireworks and listening
to the concert. The festivities con-
Guided with ball in the opera house.
AT the annual meeting Of the stock
holders of the Watertown Gas com
pany, held last Wednesday, the old
board of directors were reelected as
follows: John Ford, Jesse Stone,
George Hawkins, Fred Miller and
Charles Mackay. They IN turn re-
elected the old officers: John Ford,
president; Jesse Stone, e-president;
Calvin Cheney, secretary; George Haw
kins, treasurer; Charles Mackay. sup
erintendent. The plant of the COM
pany has during the past year been en-
tirelv rebuilt, and the company now
boasts of as good and complete system
as can be found anywhere.
The western shores of Rock lake at
Lake Mills formed the congregating
place of forty young people from this
city on the Fourth of July Mr.. and
Mrs. George Prentiss were the chaper-
ones, and perfect summers day was
whiled away in the pleasures of an old
time basket picnic. Amid the attrac-
tons of the well-laden baskets, the
sylvan shades of The wood, the boating,
bathing and fishing afforded by the
lake, the fireworks in the evening, the
Waterloo camping party (for the girls)
Myron WIS bathing costume (also that
of others) and numerous other delights
uncomfortable, the occasion lacked
nothing for it's complete enjoyment.
The company returned home in the
evening conscious of huge days
sport.
The strike situation this morning
remains unchanged, but crisis is ex-
pected to-day. Rioting and lnsurrec-
ton in and about Chicago have APP
parently ceased, due no doubt to the
presence of large forces of militia and
Cleveland's timely proclamation. The
elimination of the troubles IS looked
for to-day in the strike of the Knights
of Labor all over the country, or
dered last night by Grand Master
Workman Sovereign, ''for the cause
Of organized labor" 1t is expected
that the Federation of Labor will
pursue the same course. Such a
course will simply PROSTATE business
in every large city. The action is
taken upon the refusal of Pullman
to arbitrate with his employees.

church choir, together with several of
