A fight of more than ordinary in
terest came off on Monroe street the
other day. The principals in the
affair were goat, dog and a man.
The goat succeeded in ''butting" the
dog out Of time in the first round, and
the owner of the dog, coming to his
rescue, threw stick of stove wood at
his goatship, and not taking very
straight aim nearly killed his dog.
The result, very sore dog, an angry
man and victorious goat.
An effort will be made by the
Turner society to sell the south 100
feet of its park, located in the First
ward, and adjoining Turner Opera
house. If the property is disposed
OF the proceeds will go towards de-
fraying some of the society's indebt-

"A. j. Wei8, who for 1897 and
1898 was the register of deeds, and
are pleased to report will make this
city his home in the future. He has
accepted position with our brewer
and malster, Rudolf Heger. Mr.
Weis is thoroughly versed in the
business he will enter, having been
connected with similar institutions
while at Watertown, and we predict
that he will materially increase the
already large business being done by
Mr.. Heger. Jefferson Banner.
We wish to advise the business
men and merchants. of this city not
to be deceived by parties from outside
who are soliciting job work, and claim

ing twice as much as the work can be
gotten for elsewhere. If you will take
the trouble to compare prices you will
readily discover that Watertown
printers are doing work at rock
bottom prices, and that an institution
cannot exist and do work for less
money. An investigation will quick
ly undeceive any one who has been
led away by the Misrepresentation of
the travelling printer.

the late lamented Father Coleman.
