The Charleston News and Courier says
it would like to know why the Southern
Railways experiment of regulating the
cigarette habit should be made in South
Carolina" In the theatrical profession
they have an expression about trying it
on the dog" but of course that does not
apply in the case of the Southern's
cigarette experiment. 1t must be that.

told the court the other day that she had
been married twelve years, and that dur
ing this time her husband had given her
seventy-two black eyes from beating. An
average Of six black eyes a year for

cruelty in sufficient degree to warrant the

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Record Qnd.) says: 1.-THE
Republicans feel certain of the reelection
of President Mckinley. no matter what
the shortcomings of his administration
may be, because they believe the Demo-
cratic party will continue to keep dead
issues 10 the front The Presidents civil
service exemption order, for example,
which was a gross violation of personal
and party pledges TO the public, proba-
bly, would not have been issued but for
the belief that the Republicans had little
TO fear from the opposition party at the
next election. In order that the Repub-
lican party may be put on its best beha-
vior the Democratic party ought to pre-
pare to meet it upon the live issues now
engrossing popular attention"
The Nashville American (Dem.) says:
Joseph Pulitzer occupies a great deal of
space in the current number of the North
American Review in asking the question,
has Congress declared war against the
Filipinos and has not the President usurp-
ed the powers Of Congress? Congress
heretofore has never declared war against
Apaches, Sioux. Utes, or other tribes of
Indians, though the United States govern
ment made war against them, and Con-
gress did not have TO declare war against
the Insurgents in the Philippines"
The New orleans Times-DemOcrat
Dem) says; The Industrial revival now
so marked in the Southern states did not
begin the moment slavery ended for the
reason that the war and reconstruction
had SO greatly set them back that il took
some years to recover from the shock
But we have now fully recovered from
that setback, and are moving forward
rapidly What we are doing for manu-
facturers now Is but taking up again or the
good work 80 auspiciously begun In the
earlier days Of the republic"

The County Fair.

Owing to the cold weather prevail
ing last week the county fair at JEFF
ferson was not as much of a success
as its projectors hoped for, the attend
ance being much lighter than usual
There was good exhibit in most of
the departments and the horse racing
was above the average, in one of the
events on Thursday the track record
being lowered with d, time of 2:15.
Comparatively few people from this
city braved the elements to take in
the fair, but this we are sure would
have been different under more fa-
vorable conditions.
One of the chief attractions on the
program was tho base ball tournament
between the Jefferson and Watertown
teams. Three games were played,
Jefferson winning on Wednesday and
Friday and Watertown on Thursday.
The score in the first game was to 3.
Helmerl and Hanford and APPEL and
klelnow were the respective batteries.
The following day APPEL again pitched
and held the Jeffersons down to three
hits and one run. Adkins, the noted
GAINESVILLE twirler. whom several of
the big league clubs are after, was in
the box for Jefferson and was irwin
chile until the ninth inning, when he
was touched up in lively fashion, the
Watertowns scoring three runs on
clean hitting. 1t is said this game
was the best ever played at the county
seat. The last contest was consider
able OF farce, the score being Is to
4. APPEL went into the box for the
third consecutive time, but lasted only
couple of innings, Kleinow and
Walthers finishing the game. Heimerl
pitched for jefferson. The Water
town team went into the tournament
badly handicapped by the absence of
some of its best players and with only
one pitcher. Jefferson, on the other
hand, put the best team available in
the field.

Burdick- Mendenf1aII.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. E. A.
Mendenhall, 519 First street. was the
scene of pretty wedding Thursday
afternoon, the contracting parties be-
ing their daughter, Miss Matte. and
Harold M. Burdick, of Milton Junction
At the hour Of 8 the ceremony took
place, Rev. G. j. Crandall, of Milton
junction, officiating. The bride and
groom were unattended, and only rel
atlves and intimate friends were pres
ent. Hearty congratulations we're
showered upon the young couple, and
on the 5:19 Milwaukee train they de-
parted for short wedding trip, after
which they will be at home at Milton
junction, where the groom is engaged
in business and is highly respected.
The fair bride he has won and wed
was reared among us, is graduate of
our high school, and is young lady
of exceptional worth who enjoys the
unbounded esteem of her large circle
of acquaintances. The REPUBLICAN
joins this circle in wishing Mr.. and
MIS-. Burdick much happiness in their
new relations.
Among the guests at the wedding
were: County Superintendent of
Schools Curtis, Waupun; Prof West
and wife, Lake Mills; Miss Birdie

An Interesting Decision.

The Jefferson Banner says that
Judge Grimm recently rendered his
opinion in the contested will case of
Rev. John Friedel, deceased.
Two clauses Of the will are declared
invalid. One of these is in the follow
ing words: lone thousand dollars
for holy masses to be said for me and
my benefactors. and for those to whom
during my life | have been a stone Of
offense.n This clause is declared void
for the reason that there are no bene-
ficlarleS of the trust who may come
into equity to enforce it's performance.
Had the bequest been direct to an in
dividual bishop or priest for the read
ing of masses, the bequest would have
been valid
The other clause is that giving for
home for the aged priests. The will
says: ''The rest shall be paid to the
Most Rev. Arch bishop of Milwaukee,
for the erection of home near Jeffer-
son in which priests who have become
incapable for the ministry can spend
their last days; but they must provide
for themselves, i. e., room in said house
self-dependently This money must
not fall to sisters convent" The
court holds this clause void under the
common law and under the statutes of
this state. The devise in question is
not limited and therefore attempts to
grant an estate in perpetuity, and an
estate in perpetuity can only be grant
ed to literary or charitable corpor-
alton organized under the laws of the
state" The court gives the further
reason for declaring this clause in
valid that the trust is not Gully
expressed nor clearly defined upon the
face of the instrument creating it," in
several respects

pino War, Arrives Home.
At 1882 Sunday noon Carl NJ
Gardner, the only Watertown soldier
of the Spanish and Filipino wars who
was wounded in battle, arrived home
over the Milwaukee road. His COM
ing was the occasion Of fitting dem
Onstration that must have been graft
flying to the young man and his friends,
A large concourse of citizens gathered
at the depot to receive the young SOL
der and he was escorted to his home
by procession made up of the Sinnis-
slppi band, the German veterans, O.
ID. Pease post, @. A. R., members of
the fire department., the reception
committee, city officials and aldermen
in carriages. General Solliday and
Captain Moulding were marshals of
the parade, which took up a line Of
march from the depot to the Gardner
residence on North Fourth street.
Private Gardner occupied carriage
with his father, his younger sister
and President of the Council Vert
heimer, the latter, together with AL
derman &. III. jacob, having the ar
rangements for the welcoming in
charge. After arriving at the home
an informal reception was held and
many friends and acquaintance
availed themselves Of an opportunity
to grasp the hand of the returning
soldier boy.
Carl M. Gardner is the elder son of
our residents, Major and Mrs. G. II.
Gardner, and was reared in this city.
When the war with Spain began he
was employed in a lucrative position
at Council Bluffs, Ia, but gave this
up to enlist in the Fifty-frst Il wa vol

The men saw active duty and were en-
gagged in some of the hottest conflicts
of the campaign against Aguinaldo's
followers. 1t was in the midst Of one
of these conflicts, near Calumpit, that
young Gardner was disabled, receiving
a Mauser bullet in the leg. For sew
eral weeks he was confined in hos
pital, but was finally sent to San Fran
cisco with other wounded men. There
he received further medical attention,
remaining few more weeks, and
then he started for home He is now
almost entirely recovered from his
wound and appears to be enjoying ex-
cellent health. His numerous friends

1T FLOATS.


The average temperature for the
week ranged from 80 degrees along
the northern border to So degrees over
degrees cooler than last week. Frosts
have been general over the northern
and central portions of the state. and
were severe on the morning of the 23d .
Injury to crops from this source has
not been serious, and has been con-
fined to small areas.
The rains have been confined princi-
pally to the southern portion of the
state, and were heaviest over the ex-
treme southern counties, while over
the north IN districts there has not
been sufficient moisture to materially
affect the condition of the land, and
fall ploughing is being delayed in
some localities.
The week has been very favorable
for the completion of corn cutting,
and some farmers have commenced
husking. This crop as "a whole has
been very satisfactory, and while there
has been some complaint of damage
by drought IN some sections, the
general opinion seems to be that this
crop is very good one.
Digging of potatoes is progressing
rapidly and the crop is generally sat-
isfactory, having come through the
season with no more damage from
various sources than might reason
ably have been expected.
