the circuit court Of Dodge county. The

neau, when the matter is to be heard.

E. A. Hartman, filing clerk in the Sec
retary Of States office, was a welcome
caller at the Republican office Tuesday.
Mr.. Hartman is at present utilizing his
annual vacation by checking up the
State Fair advertising. Thoroughly
cOnversant with the business in former
years, he is especially qualified to over
see his present task with critics eye.
1t will be of special interest to our local
bill posters to see to it that the work

Joseph Hoffman, the 14-year-old boy
who stole horse from James GOurlie, of
Ashippun, Saturday August 10, was cap
tured at Big SuamicO, Sunday He is al
so accused of stealing the horse which
he left at Gourlie's. Monday Sheriff
Solon returned with him to Juneau,
where he was placed in Jail to await
trial. Mr.. GOurlie's horse has been re-
turned to him. Young Hoffman has
proved exceedingly clever for one of his
years in eluding the officers. In all
probability few terms in the reform
school await him. -NeoshO Standard.
Superintendent Charles Mackay of the
Watert0wn Gas company has placed in
Eberle's drug store new style Of lamp
called the incadeScent gas arc light.
This lamp will give a more powerful,
brilliant, steader and better diffused
light than an arc light. Each mantle is
guaranteed to give I2o candles of light,
or 500 candles for a 4-light lamp, equalng
2OOO candles electric measurement, with a
gas consumption of Is to Is feet per hour.
This startling result is obtained without
the use OF chimneys, the peculiar con
strGctiOn Of the Bunsen burner making
complete mixture of gas and air, with
larger proportion Of air than is obtained
with a chimney, and carb0nizatiOn of
mantles is impossible.
T. A. Spaulding and William G..
Travis, of the town of OcOnOmOwoc,
were welcome visitors at the Republican
Office Monday. Mr.. and Mrs. Spaulding
keep one of the most cosy and best patrO-
lied country resorts anywhere about the
Waukesha county nest Of beautiful lakes,
and even at home visit out to Spauld-
ing's is sure to eclipse ones highest antici-
patiOns. The editor has been out there
and knows. William 6. Travis is one of
the living samples of men that made the
old First Wisconsin Cavalry one Of the
best mounted regiments in the field dur
ing the civil war. Though well along in
years, he has not lost his taste nor his
good nature, combination of good
qualities that make him a good comrade
in the army and good neighbOr at home.
All members were present at regular
meeting OF the city council Tuesday eve
which called for the issuing of bonds to
the amount $1,000, to pay the cost of
building Cady street bridge and another
for issuing bonds to pay for the special
assessments in Washington street for
persons who were unable to meet the
assessments now. They were both laid
over under the rules until the next
meeting. A resolution introduced by
Alderman Stack and carried by unani-
nous vote was, that the mayor be author
lied to request the Chicago & Northwest
ern Railway company and the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway company
to each maintain a policeman on their
property day and night. 1t was the
general opinion of the aldermen that this
was greatly needed, and as the force of
policemen employed by the city have all
they can do to properly take care of the
welfare and peace of citizens of the bust
ness section.
