Becomes a Benedict

IHE REPUBLICAN extends greetings
to Albert GOerz, the well-known JEFF
fersOn newspaper man, over his recent
entry into the realms of matrimonial
bliss. His numerous friends generally
supposed him to be confirmed bache-
lor, but it seems he at length fell a
prey to feminine attractions and has
joined the ranks of the Benedicts.
Mr.. GOerz was married last Friday
evening to Miss Barbara Vogel at the
residence of the brides mother in JEFF
ferson, Rev. j. Runkel performing
the ceremony. Gustav Zemke, OF this
city, was best man., while Miss Mar
garet Horn, of Jefferson, acted as
bridesmaid. An informal reception
followed the ceremony, and the good
people OF Jefferson turned out en-
masse to offer their congratulations
and best wishes to the happy couple.
The groom formerly resided in this
city and edited The journal, which
paper he subsequently purchased and
removed to jefferson, where he has
since successfully conducted it, as well
as being editor of The Jefferson Record.
He is an able writer and tireless in
his newspaper labors, and from the
measure of success he is meeting with
it is evident his efforts are being ap-
preciated. During Congressman Bar
wigs term Mr.. Goerz was his private
secretary

Extraordinary Case.

The Juneau Independent gives the
following particulars of most extra
ordinary case that has been on trial in
the Dodge county circuit court:
''Last winter Lydia Horn, of the
town of Elba, worked as servant girl
in the family of Anton Nagler, of that
town. They had some trouble and
Miss Horn left and was compelled to
commence replevin case in order to
obtain her clothes and personal effects
from the Nagler home. Thereafter
Nagler went before j. H, Boelte, a
justice of the peace of Elba, and swore
out a warrant for the arrest of the girl
on the charge of stealing ten cents,
claiming that while she was in his
employ she found ten cents on a chair
and converted it to her own USE Con-
stable A. c. Bowen took the warrant
and went to where Miss Horn was in
Hubbleton and read it to her, but did
not apprehend her for the reason that
she was sick at the time. Nothing
further was done and Miss Horn sued
Mr.. Nagler for false imprisonment
Judging from the evidence this man
Nagler was bound to make trouble for
the young lady against the advice of
his friends and the attorneys whom he
consulted Attorney Dukerscheim, of
Reeseville, who drew the complaint,
testified that he tried to discourage
Nagler from taking the step. Nagler
consulted District Attorney Lueck and
the latter refused to commence the
prosecution, but at the same time IN
formed him that if complaint was
made and he was notified according to
law he would attend to conducting the
prosecut on. Mr.. Lueck testified that
in his opinion, from the statement of
the case made by Nagler at the time,
it would be impossible to secure con-
victlon for larceny. The verdict will
in all probability be good lesson to
this Elba farmer. Harlow Pease and
j. Z. Malone appeared as attorneys
for the plaintiff and John G. Conway
and George w. Sloan for the defense.

MCKINLEY IN WISCONSIN.
Makes a Hurried Trip Through the
State and Is Enthusiastically
Received.

President William Mckinley trav-
eled across the state of Wisconsin
from Iowa yesterday and arrived in
Milwaukee at P. NJ. Everywhere
the presidential train stopped the ma
tion's chief executive was given a
rousing reception by the assembled
crowds, the fattering ovation culmin-
ating last evening in the splendid de-
monstration arranged by the enterpris-
ing citizens Of the states metropolis.
The president was accompanied by
the following members of his cabinet:
Secretary of the Treasury Gage, Sec
retary of the Interior Hitchcock, Sec
retary of the Navy Long, Attorney
General Griggs and Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson. Mrs Mckinley, Mrs.
Gage and Mrs. Hitchcock were also in
the party.
Immediately upon their arrival in
Milwaukee they were taken to the
Hotel Pfster, the corridors of which
were packed with people who con-
tinued the cheering which had fol-
lowed the party up Wisconsin street
from the Northwestern depot. An
hour later the president and the mem
bers of his cabinet were driven to the
Deutscher club. beautifully decorated
and Illuminated for the occasion, and
here President Mckinley shook hands
with 1000 people, or more. greeted
many old friends and acquaintance,
and then spoke briefly to the thousands
Of others who had been unable, in the
short time allowed, to meet him per-
sonally.
After the reception the honored
guests were escorted back to the Hotel
Pfster, where an elaborate banquet
was rendered them. Four hundred
prominent business men of Milwaukee
and politicians of the state attended.
Toasts were responded to by the pres
ident, Secretary Long, Attorney Gen
eral Griggs, Governor Scofeld, Mayor
Rose and Congressman Esch, and the
enthusiastic applause that greeted
the presidents remarks showed con-
clusively that his hearers were in ac-
COl u Will VIC oCuIIucuuo u0 uuG6ltu.
The banquet continued long past the
midnight hour and was one of the
most pretentious functions ever ar
ranged in behalf of an hOnored guest
in this state.
During the presidents stay in Mil
waukee, which lasted until II o'clock
this morning, all classes joined in the
welcoming, which was of the spontan-
eous and hearty order that only man
of the people can command. 1t was

TOWN LOTS IN NEW TOWNS.

Merchants, doctors, lawyers and all
classes of profession, business or trade,
who are looking to change of location,
will find it to their material advantage to
secure their new locations at one of the
new towns on the lines now being con-
structed by the Chicago & Northwestern
railway They are in sections of the
country that have hitherto been without
adequate railroad and proper market
facilities.
The surrounding country is enormous
ly rich, and the towns are all bound to Oe
thrifty and prosperous. Any of them will
prove sure money maker for specula-
tion or business location.
These towns are all owned and man.
aged by the railroad company, and the
original low prices still prevail as an in
ducement to settlement.

and register death returns. Complete
and accurate information of the differ

tained. ard it was found that there
. is much unnecessary and objection
able variation, considered from the
census point of view, in the form of
official returns.
Having nc power to compel CO.
operative action. and hampered by
want of time in which to carry out
the whole project, nevertheless the
census Office undertook to secure the
modification or amplifcation of the
death certificates so as to have them
include the items necessary to obtain
census data. A model return form
was prepared and submitted, with ex-
planatory correspondence, to each
registration Office or officer controlling
the preparation of the state or local
forms.
The result has been more import
ant and gratifying than even the
census Office expected, as not only
have the items in the specimen form
been very generally adopted, but the
registration officers have abolished
many practically obsolete local var.
iations in their certificates, and the
latter have been made to conform to
one standard more nearly than ever
before.
The promptness and willingness
displayed by the state and local Off
GERS in complying with the request of
the director has been surprising as
we'll as gratifying. The benefit that
will result to the census Office and to
science from this first step toward the
goal of national uniformity is incalcu
liable, but it will be seen readily that
| the study of the natural law of the
growth of the population is made
easier and more certain.
The director of the census conf
IDENTIFY expects that physicians every
where will appreciate the desirability
of the new order of things, and that
they will earnestly and actively CO.
operate in securing prompt and accur-
ate mortality returns of the uniform
character required by congress and
sought for by statisticians. He rec og-
nizes the fact that failure on the part
of physicians to give vitality to the
common standard by carefully repo rt-
ing the items that may be new to the ir
certificate will be fatal to the end in
view
