The koehne Lectures.

Perhaps no course of lectures ever
given here before attracted so we'll as
did that at the Congregations church
last week, delivered by Rev. J. B.
Koehne on "The Reasonableness OF
Christianity" The church was filled
each night, sometimes to overAowing,
1t was quite generally agreed that Mr.,
Koehne was one of the most interesting
and gifted takers heard here in some
time. He is well equipped in essentials
to render his lectures popular. He is
more than ordinarily versatile, and
thus able to satisfy in some particular
all his hearers. While perhaps in a
few instances he said things which
might better have been left unsaid. we
think on the whole be pleased Water
town people and certainly gave them
plenty Of food for thought His ability
to make you think is his leading char
acteristic, and his every sentence con-
tains something thoughtful. Mr..
KOehne's lecture Sunday evening on
Bob Ingersoll and skepticism was an
eloquent effort. The exposition was
unique, original and intensely interest
ing. A fund of historical knowledge was
dlyulged, and the arguments were so
concisely put forth that all could un-
derstand and profit thereby. We have
not space to outline the address; suffice
it to say that it was most successful ef-
fort to show wherein Christ was not a
great man, but really an inspiration of
the Father. The superhumanitv of
Christ and the utmost profundity of
al! His teachings were wildly pictured.
The lecture on Monday evening on
'The New Aristocracy" was, by many
who heard it, considered the very best
given during Mr.. Koehne's stay in Wa
tertown. The new aristocracy as Mr..
Koehne sees it is the aristocracy of the
common people, or that of manhood.
He urged his hearers to be poets-to
observe, to think, to enjoy the ideals
of God as seen in the realities of nature.
The poets are the philosophers of th e
times, and poets are those who have
the poetic spirit. whether they write or
not. They are those who observe and
hear the music of nature. The four
great poets are Job, Homer, Dante and
Shakespeare. The hasty analysis of the
productions of these men was masterlv.
His Commendation of Americas ideal
Of the aristocracy of true manhood
formed the fitting and elegant climax
of the lecture. A very good audience
greeted Mr.. Koehne in his lastIlecture
in WatertoWn.

CIRCUIT COURT.

The case of the state vs.. John H.
Fellermann, which was expected to
have come up before Judge Bennett at
Jefferson to-day. will probably not be
called for several days yet, pending
the conclusion of the Tandy case. r.
B. Kirkland will assist District Attor-
ney Ryder in the prosecution, while
Mr.. Fellermann' counsel will be Har-
low Pease and John @. Conway. A
large number of our citizens have been
subpoenaed as witnesses in the case,
both for the state and the defense. No
doubt some time will be consumed in
drawing a jury.
Monday morning the celebrated
Tandy case was brought to trial. For
long time Tandy evaded the laws
course, but Sheriff Shannon finally ap-
pretended him. Tandy is charged
with embezzling money from a Mrs.
Smith, of Waterloo, for whom he built
house. He is alleged to have secured
all her funds and then departed from
the village, leaving the bills incurred
In building to be paid by his patron.
The first case tried at this term
of court was that of Laura Strehlow,
appearing by her guardian, Samuel
Kussel, vs.. Henry P. Petit and Ru-
dolph Hoffman,, it having had hear
ings at two previous terms of court,
with disagreement of the jury each
time. The action was brought to re-
cover damages for malicious prosecu-
ton. Harlow Pease and r. B. Kirk
land were the plaintiff g attorneys, be-
ing opposed by L. B. Caswell and w
H. Rogers. On Thursday the jury re-
turned verdict for the plaintiff of
$3.50 damages.
Emile Bursinger VS.. A. Fuermann
Brewing company will be tried at the
end of the criminal calendar. George
Grimm and LIB. Caswell will appear
for the plaintiff and Harlow Pease for
the defendants.
The administrators Of the estate of
Adaline Cody VS.. the North western Life
Insurance company and William Cody
was changed to Waukesha county by
stipulation.
In the case Of Christian Spliss vs..
Paul and Fred Schoechert, the last
named defendant was dismissed after
the evidence had been taken for lack of
