large number of felons. 1t was in
this epoch that he forged to a leading

has very extensive practice, which
has not been confined to our own
court, but the Supreme and United
State courts. We have heard lawyers
say that Mr.. Malone has handled more
cases, and cases of Importance, in rhe
circuit and supreme courts than any

sympa thetic heart.
Can anyone truthfully say that his
great experience and his varied life
amUng the people of the county before
he became an attorney, which has
made him familiar with the various
characteristics of our people, will not
letter fit him for the bench?
He has lived here all of his life in

believe that he would be prudent and

\. W. u. Notes

The entertainment given undsr the
Joint auspices &c the Lyceum and
Philomathian Literary Societies on
Monday night at the N. W. U. chapel,
in commemoration of the birthday Of
George Washington, WAS universally
pronounced to have been the best and
most successful ever given In the his
tory Of either society Besides the
student audience, no less than one
hundred interested Watertown people
were present who expressed their
great satisfaction at having a most
enjoyable evening Owing to the
several musical encores, the entire
programme lasted about two hours.
To avoid monotony. musical, vocal
and instrumental, as well as literary
numbers were rendered. The society
committee that arranged the pro-
gramme deserve special credit as TO
the discretion exercised in the sy stem
attic arrangement of the selections.
The entertainment was opened by an
intro iuctOry speech given by Paul
Bergman, president of the Lyceum
Literary society, who in few words
stated the multifarious purposes Of
a "Washington" programme. The
"Prince 0t PiIson' by the orchestra
was followed by an encore clearly
manifesting the sentiments of the
dered an appropriate selection min
uteIy calculating on the character Ot
him in whose honor the celebration
was held. The musical selection by
the trio, L. Zeisler, A. Sitz and q.
Schei was perhaps ore OF the best
numbers on the programme. Inc
effect of the combined efforts of the
three endowed musicians was MADE
evident by the vigorous applause
ceasing only when the trio appeared
for the second tune. With deep paChos
and excellent expression, o. Plath
spoks the German translation of POe's
"The Raven Owing to the illness
of Prof. O. Bolle, it was impossible
for the N. w. u. quartette to make

disappointment Of the entire audience.
With clearuess force and earnestness,
H Koch IN u somewhat prolix manner
depicted the noble. .dauntless. and cour
ageous qualities of Washington during
the darkest days days of the Revolu-
tion, "The Winter at Valley Forge"
The N. w. U. choir, under the able
directorship of Prof. A Kuhn. favored
the audience with two numbers. Its
popularity can we'll be judged from
the deafenng applause that greeted
that organization at each appearance.
Though but the second public appear
ance of the choir under Prof. Kuhn,
a surprising Improvement. which in
time promi ses to develop into con-
sumatIon, was evident throughout.
This was followed by short declam-
alton by Mr.. G. Scblei. The last
number on the programme was a
musical selection by the N. W. u.
orchestra also directed by Prof.
Kuhn. His abilities as director are

Cheap and Safe Insurance

The late William Herold, Of the

of Log Camp, No. 4O1, Modern Wood
