entertaining his guests on this occa-
sion.
The name of the young man who
was accidentally killed on the Mil
waukee road east of lere last week
Monday turned out to be Charles
Peters, whose mother and stepfather
reside on a farm near Pierceville.
They were here Wednesday and iden-
titled the body, but claimed to be too
poor to give the unfortunate youth
burial. The remains were therefore
taken to Jefferson and inferred in the
potter's field at the county farm.
No doubt one of the neateSt and
most attractive places of business in
Southern Wisconsin is the new drug
store at 203 Main street conducted by
John w. Schempf and Henry l.. Schulz,
two enterprising young men we'll up
in their profession and thoroughly
competent The store was opened to
the public Thursday last and enjoyed
most suspicious beginning, many
patrons calling and giving it their un-
qualified approval. The furniture and
fixtures are very handsome and tasty
Owing to the demands made by
the largely increasing trade, the
Woodland Stone cracker and candy
factory on North Water street will
shortly be substantially enlarged by
the addition of another story. The
factory at present is cramped for
room, especially in the candy depart
ment, where business is particularly
brisk The contemplated improve
ment will provide the necessary facll~
tiles for materially increasing the out
put of the plant and employment will
be given to a large number of addl-
tiOnal hands.
AT the meeting of the executive
committee at, the residence Of the
chairman, Carl MANI, last Tuesday
evening, the affairs of the recent car
nival we're wound up, the different
committees handing in their reports
and the statement of the treasurer
! being received. 1t was shown that
every obligation acquired by the car
nival association had been met and
| that there was balance on the right
side of the ledger. This is an excel
lent showing and high credit to the
management, who surmounted innum-
| cradle difficulties in attaining the
result.
The trustees of the jefferson coun-
ty insane asylum and poor farm and
| the special waterwOrkS committee OF
/ the county board held meeting at
| Jefferson last week and decided to
proceed forthwith with the cOnstruc-
ton of a waterworks system in the
asylum and poor house buildings and
grounds. The system will be built
| after plans and specifications furnished
by Julius Fix, superintendent OF the
water plant in this city. Trustee 4.
| Stoppenbach, of Jefferson; Supervisor
H. II. Curtis, of Fort Atkinson, and
Supervisor j. P. McGolrick, of this
city, were appointed as a committee
to go to Chicago and purchase the
necessary pumps and other material
for the plant.

The Ebenezer correspondents Of
The Fort Atkinson Union tells of a
strange case which for forgetfulness
and absence of mind takes the per
simmons. A week ago last Friday
William Flath, of Marquette, Mich,
arrived in this city with his little
daughter over the Northwestern road.
Mr. Flath got off the train, but entire
ly forgot that he was accompanied by
his daughter until the train had de-
