a NIGHTS Adventures,

A party of pleasure seekers surprised
William Funk, on the Coffee road, a
few nights ago, but before reaching
their destination met with few sur
priseS not exactly to their liking. "Cof-
Fee not being exactly in the drivers
line, he struck out in a new direction;
that he had something in view ION the
side" which the rest of us could not
discern, seemed evident; but, although
we underwent violent lurches in our
endeavor to get light on the subject,
We failed to do so. A well posted"
fence doomed up in the darkness after
we had traversed a mile in this way
and We turned back only to find the
road still had a few wrinkles to ride

but the hind axle fooled us by dropping
us right in the ditch. We did not stop
to argue the point, but took up our bur
dens and waiked-ladies to the front

up spirits, however, till "freeze-out

ton Of few drops" wasted" which

the event. The corner was made. how

Died.

Charles Huber, known to the "oldest
inhabitant" as one of WATERFOWL
oldest characters, died Friday morn
ing at his lodgings on North Second
street, where he had been confined
about two weeks by an attack of pleuri-
sy. He was a native of Alsace and
came to this city as early as 1S47. lis
age was IS years. To great majority
of our people Mr. Huber was a familiar
parsonage, who never failed to greet
his acquaintance with the utmost
courtesy. He possessed kindly nature
and at the same time eccentricities
which stamped him as an uncommon
individual. Always practicing the
strictest frugality, he had, by putting
together little odds and ends, saved
competence reaching several thousand
dollars. But this fact was never APP
parent to outward appearances. Sew
eral of the stores along Main street
were known as his favorite resorts,
and in these places it is safe to say his
frequent calls will be missed. For sew
eral years deceased had been in de-
crepit state, incident to old age. He is
survived by four children. Monday
afternoon his funeral was held from
the Evangelical Protestant church.

GRAND ARMY CAMPFIRE.
AN Enjoyable Program Given to a
Large Audience.

-x9h A1AJOg rug 0AfOA ~ "a
Large Audience.
The campfire arranged by 0. D.
Pease post, No. "a, G. A. g., attracted
a large audience to Turner Opera house
Monday evening. Gatherings of this
nature serve as periodical convention
for the old veterans, in which friend
ships are cemented and episodes of the
war and "reminiscences exploited. tits
desIra Bile, then, that entertaining
speakers should be secured, and the
post was unusually fortunate in its
selections for this years campfire. S.
II. Talma0ge, assistant acjutant-gener-
al for the Department of Wisconsin,
was on the program for the first ad-
dress, but his place was taken by Phillip
Cheek, Jr., of Baraboo, prominent
Grand Army man. Mr.. Cheek was
one of the Wisconsin commissioners to
ehe dedication of the Chickamauga
battlefield last fall, and his talk dealt
chiefly with facts and incidents rela-
tive to this great national event, where
in the Blue and the Gray were in truth
reunited. Mr.. Cheeks remarks were
especially interesting to his comrades
and be was warmly greeted. The adj
dress of the evening was by w. D.
Hoard, of Fort Atkinson, department
commando of Wisconsin, who, owing
to q delay IL the train service, was
somewhat late in reaching the hall.
The ex governor delivered a scholarly
and thoughtful discourse, having for
mis- principal theme the fact that moral
courage must be evidenced in the good
soldier. He recounted the lessons
brought forth by the late war and dis
*countenanced the circumstance of the
Christian world at present engaging in
warfare. He also strongly advocated
morality and uprightness in the affairs
of state, As contrast to the seriousness
of his remarks Mr. Hoard interspersed
several of the tersely-told jokes for
which he is so we'll known, which
served to keep his interested audience
IN good humor.
TEhe program included selections by
Hardege's orchestra and the Mandolin
club; recitations by the Misses A.
Martsch, M. Kruger and J. Scheck;
marches and drills by the Post guards,
composed of girls under the captaIncy
of William Jones; several tableaux,
and musical speciaities by Max E.
Gritzner ane Charles Otto, the latter
feature being especially good and brin. :
ing down the house. Messrs. Gritzner
and Otto play numerous instruments,
sing well and are excellent entertain
ers. At the conclusion of the program
dance was held, in which many par
ticipated.
