The COUNTY Wins.

AT the opening Of the present term
of the circuit court. there were ten
cases upon the calendar against the
county All were appeals from the
action of the county board in disallow-
ing part of the amounts claimed in
sundry bills against the county.
OF the ten cases six have been ap-
pealed to the circuit court of Fond du
Lac county and will be tried there at
the next term of court. These were
the claims of the sheriff, deputy sheriff
and constables. Of the four tried, the
county has won three, getting judg-
ment of costs against the plaintiffs.
In one instance the county was the
loser, but not to any great extent.
City Marshal Meiklejohn, of Waupun,
sued for balance of some 500 80, and
received judgment for $1l50, out of
which sum he pays a fee of SIS for
leave to amend his complaint during
the trial.-Juneai Telephone.

was III the city, in company with

A passe niger station 16S feet long by 80
feet wide is provided. The station will
embody the office and waiting rooms
at the west end, the baggage room at
the east end and the open pavilion in
the middle. These different compart-
ments will all be connected under one
roof. The pavilion and baggage room
will each be 40 feet long, while
the main compartment will be 88
feet long. In the center of the
latter will be the station Office, while
on either side will be the waiting
rooms. North of the Office are located
the lavatories. The structure is to be
built of a cream colored sand stone
and Watertown brick, with slate roof
and complete water and sewerage
system. 1t will be located at the head
of Fifth street, 80 feet north of the
main track, spacious platform inter
vening between the depot and the
track. A very pretty and substantial
station has been designed and it is
certain that Watertown will feel proud
of it when finished. The St. Paul com
panY will not build it themselves. but
will let the contract through bidding.
We understand thai several Watertown
contractors have been invited to bid
and it is to be hoped that the contract
may be let here, thus assuring employ
ment to local mechanics Agent Webb
thinks it may be several weeks vet be-
fore the contractor is decided upon. but
feels reasonably certain that work will
be under way before the month of Nav
has expired.

Waterworks Superintendent.

The Watertown Waterworks COM
pany has secured the services OF Julius
Fix as superintendent. Mr.. Fix has for
several years had charge Of the system
at Stoughton. He is expected here
next week to enter upon his duties.
AS will be seen by the subjoined COM
ments from Stoughton papers, Mr.. Fix
comes to us highly recommended and
the Waterworks company has no donbt
made ten-strike IN engaging him.
Julius Fix, superintendent and engineer
of the waterworks, presented his resigna-
ton to the city council Wednesday evening.
He has accepted a position as chief engineer
and superintendent of the new waterworks
plant at Watertown, and will begin his duties
there on or about the 18th of this month.
Action upon his resignation was postponed
until the regular meeting of the council next
Tuesday evening, with the hope that Mr.. Fix
can be persuaded to remain, assurances hav-
ing been already given him that handsome
increase Of salary will be forthcoming. He
will not remain, however, as his agreement
with the WATERFOWL authorities is already
closed. In his new position he will receive
far more liberal salary than at present. and
his duties willsbe less 6rduOUs. AS assistants
he will have second engineer and fireman.
The Water; own waterWorks plant is said to
be model One-in fact, one of the best in
the state. Work was hegun upon it last Oc-
tOber, and under the contract must be COM
pleted by the first of next June. There are
fifteen miles of mains. stand pipe ITO feet
high, with the tank portion Is feet in diane
ter and 50 feet deep, besides large reservoir.
tesian well. In the station are two large
compound condensing pumping engines,
operated from pair of large horizontal boil
ers Altogether it is magnificent system,
complete and up-to-date in every detail.
While Mr. Fix is to be congratulated upon
his promotion, and the city of WatertOwn
upon the acquisition Of so excellent man,
is almost a calamity. For six years Mr.. Fix
has been faithful and devoted servant. His
service has been So satisfactory in every re-
Spect that with each recurring year he has
been given the place by the common consent,
nobody evcn limiting that for political or any
other reason his position should be rendered
to another. He is a thorough master of the
business, a Skilful M chanic and during his
six years incumbency of the office proved his
efficiency, his faithfulnesS and his devotion
to the city'S best interests. 1t will be long
time before his place is filled by better
man Sfou05fOD Huh

Julius Fix, the popular and efficient super
intendent Of the Stoughton waterworks
rendered his resignation to the city council
on Wednesday evening. Through the faithful
service of Mr.. Fix during the past six years,
the plant has been raised to the highest
best in the state. The council refused to &C
cept the resignation of Mr.. Fix, at the same
time Offering an increase of salary, further
action being deferred until Tuesday next.
Mr.. Fix has accepted lucrative position as
general superintendent of the new water
works plant al Watertown. 1t is hoped the
council can yet persuade him to remain here
new man or cheap man would be a dear
experiment for the city Stoughton Courier.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Jan. H.
The Standing committees, before
whom the charges against Bishop
elect Williams, of the new Marquette
diocese, will come, meets here on
Thursday. The charges are in the
possession of the Rev. Campbell Fair.
They include the charge that Williams
made large contributions to the do
cesar fund, conditioned OH his own
election, and that many delegates
voted for him, fearing that otherwise
the fund of $4,000 would fall, and the
plan of new diocese collapse. 1t is
not denied that DR.. Williams was
large contributor. He is very wealthy

seem to present for consideration OF
the Secretary OF the Treasury the
throwing out of smaller bids made in
good faith under the public call.
The only emergency, in Mr.. Nor
gan's Judgment, which would justify
such course would be the failure of
the public to respond to the call of
the Government.
1t has been necessary to delay the
dissolving of the syndicate up to the
present time as every financial interest
required protection afforded by the
knowledge that the syndicate was in
existence prepared to make the loan
success under any circumstances

is no question as to the success of the
loan."

Trouble with Popular Loans.

The trouble with popular loans Ii
that they are not popular, They are q
fad of some politicians and few
newspapers. They have been tried
with most Indifferent success. The
reason why they succeed in France
and do not succeed here is that the
habits of the people regarding money
are radically unlike. The French peo-
pie use banks but little, and keep
the specie or notes that they receive in
bureau drawer or some more occult
place on their.Ipremises. This is the
reason that the per capita volume of
money in France is larger than here or
in in other countries the peasant and
and the small tradesman hoard cur
rency, and there must be currency
kept in circulation. The habit of
boarding is the reason that there is al
ways in possession of the French peo-
pie large sum of ready money await
ing investment in land or Government
securities. Land comes into the
market slowly, and when the Govern
ment offers loan the money comes
out of its hiding places and is trans
ferred to the Government. An addi-
tional reason tor the popularity of
Government loans is that the rate of
interest is relatively high; the Gov
eminent securities are held by so
many voters that no ministry dares to
make much OF cut in the rate of in
terest. The situation here and the
habits of the people are radically diff
ferent. Here there are abundant OPP
portunities for investment, and the
people are universally accustomed to
put their spare money into savings
banks and building associations or to
invest it directly in securities if their
own business does not afford an OPP
portunity. Government loans pay
what money is really worth, and the
security being ample the rate is low
and not very tempting, AS nearly
every one has in investments all the
means he can command the money for
/ Government loan cannot be procur-
ID except by selling other things; this
;annot be effected on large scale
loss and the return on Gov
eminent bonds is not great enough to
be an inducement.-New York Trib-
inc.
