Dramatic Recital.

Miss Marian Jean Craig, the dramatic
reader, will appear again in Watertown.
Three years ago she met with grand
success here, and all lovers of classical
literature will hail her temperance
with dellght-the more so since she has
had two additional years of experience
and study. Her dramatic recitalS are of
high degree of merit. For her coming
visit Hamlet, Shakespeare's phiIosophic
tragedy, has been chosen. As this mas
ter-piece is we'll known to the Water
town public it will be thoroughly appre-
ciated, especially since Miss Craig's ar
tistic Interpretation of Macbeth is still
fresh in memory. Hamlet will be given
by Miss Craig at Concordia opera house
on Monday evening, Jan. 27, under the
auspices Of the Junior class of North
western University. Music by the N. W.
U. orchestra. Tickets 35 and 25 cents.

A Mechanical Wonder.

A mechanical device has been placed
in the Merchants Bank at a cost Of
S375, which can accomplish wonders as
an accountant. 1t deals in figures only
and any amount can be registered and
printed and added from one cent up to
$9,999, ,999.99. With a row of figures
before him the operator has only to
press the keys and the various amounts
are printed on slip of paper Of any
reasonable size and when finished one
touch Of one key is sufficient to add the
various amounts. Its work is perfect
and thoroughly reliable and relieves
the clerks Of much mental work in the
addition of figures. The device is
known as the Burroughs Registering
Accountant and is in use in many of the
large banking establishments through
out the country. 1t is also used in the
census bureau at Washington. The
device was put in by the directors for
the use of the employees in recognition
of a successful business year.-Water-

On Suppressing the News.
NUMBER II.

The newspapers of Ear Claire have
been suppressing all information in
regard to smallpox in that city. Now,
however, the fact that there have been
upwards Of one hundred cases in town,
and that there are at least forty at the
present time, has come to the knowl-
edge of the public and the people are
indignant because they have not been
fully Informed as to the progress of
the epidemic. And it seems to us that
their indignation is fully warranted.
In matters of this kind the press has
a public duty to perform. We know
there are those who for selfish reasons,
want these things suppressed. If it is
known there is smallpox, or other con-
tagious disease in a city, it will hurt
trade, they say. We have run up
against those who hold this view in
Stevens Point. But the press owes
duty to the entire public not to few
alone, and one of the best ways to pre-
vent the spread of smallpox is to tell
the PEOPLE how many cases there are
and where they are located, so that
they may be avoided as much as pos

Body Petriied.

The remains of Charles James Phelps,
which were inferred in cemetery near
Mayville, Dodge county, in 1865, were
removed to Evergreen cemetery in Fort
Atkinson, on Wednesday of last week,
to be placed by the side Of his wife, who
was buried there the week before. Mr..
Phelps was a member of the 44th regi-
ment Wisconsin infantry, and died in
southern hospital. The body was
brought home for burial in a metallic
coffin. When taken from the grave,
the cover over the glass of the casket
was removed and to the surprise of all
the body still retained the natural form
and features and was easily recognized
by those who had known him before
his death. The military clothes were
perfect and the brass buttons were as
bright as when worn by the soldier.
No reason can be given for this singu-
lar appearance only that the body had
petrifed.-UniOn.
