'Christmas was close at hand In all his Mull'

state of companionship and mutual good-will
which is a source o'sm h pure und unalloyed dc

There seems to be some doubt about the new
railroad from Sheridan to Taw l'aw, being built,
at least that portion of It between the former
place and Karlville. If report be true the Com
pany contemplates abandoning the portion of
the route referred to ami extending Hit line from
Karlville to Ottawa. The distance is bill little
Bore and the udvautages are claimed to be much
greater.

IfrraUf
A few weeks ago a committee of the citv coun
ril of Fond du Lac, Wl., went to Aurora to sue
the electric light as a system for lighting that
city's streets. They spent several day in Auro
ra, and on their return, a we learn from the II' a
rn, made a report, the conclusion in which are
stated a follows:
That electric light is a success.
That a city cannot be satisfactorily lighted
from a single tower.
That to obtain the best result towers should
be so distributed a to counteract each others
shadows us far as possible.
That It is expedient and economical for the
city of Fond du Lac to use the electric light, pro
Tided the city buy It plant outright.
That the city should erect iron towers as pre
ferable to wood in durability, expense and beauty
They also state that they spent an "evening in
walking at.out the streets, trying to find in the
remote suburbs a place w here the light did not
cast a shadow. Such a place wa not found.
The city wa traversed in various directions,
and the light wa found to tie sutllclont every
where to be a substantial aid to the pedestrian.
The light within the Immediate vicluity of a
tower say within a block in any direction, Is
extremely brilliant; and a one recedes from the
tower the Intensity or the light decreases In di
rect ratio to the square of the distance. At a
distance of half a mile from a two-light tower it
L-itill aulllcient to see time upon the facs of an
ordinary watch. It cast a distinct shadow at
that distance, and so modifies the darkness a to
make traveling practicable and safe. It was ob
served that an obstruction to the direct rays,
frura a building, or tree or any intervening sub
stance, caused what appeared to tie a Mack
shadow; and yet when the dark spot waa pene
trated, it seemed to be sot that shadow but the
next one that was black. Always a dark shadow
ahead, but It could never be reached. Many an
alley and by place waa approached where dark
nesa seemed to reign supreme, but upoa travers
ing the place the gloom would disappear and
light, though modified, perhaps, by surrounding
obstructions, would be sufficient to answer every
purpose. The shadow were more distinct and
well defined where Bebt only came irotn a
Jngle tower. Counteracting rays from aom
other direction practically destroyed the shad
ow It seemed to Improve upon ac
ijualnUnce; and the ky being somewhat over
cast, verified In some degree the assertion of all
citlr.en, that the darker and more stormy the
night the belter the light. A moist air I said
to diffuse the light and increase Its power."
Our congressmen ha been heard from, l'eo
pie who thought he wouldn't be heard fiom dur
lug hi term have been taken in badly. Kven
before the holiday adjournment of hi tirst ses
sion he has made racket enough to stir up hair
his district! Aud just to think of the resources
of a congressman w ho can shake a district " to
it centre" In a little matter like appointing
postmasters! Ottawa is all tore up; and so is
Morris. But then Mr. Cullen never did make
any pretension to being a civil service reformer.
He always considered the theory dem nonsense,
you know, a democratic scheme to be fought
shy of because it threatened to be a practicable
idea. Mr. Cullen has been consistent. Helms
beautifully lirnored all civil servirc nonsense. No
serious objection s men can be named against
Ills candidates (who have been both uppointed
and continued). They will no doubt make good
postmasters if given a chance. Vet it Is undoubt
edly true that in Ottawa especially the appoint
ment of Mr. Bowman Is hot too heartily second
ed by the chief men of his own party. (Memo-
crat have nothing to say ou the subject, as be
comes them, the atfwir being only a republican
family row so far as they are concerned.) The
anti-temperance wing Is particularly "on it ear,"
und it is said the atmosphere about Turn Hall is
shocking! A the La Salle Dunn-rut puts it:
The appointment of W. E. Bowman postmaster
ut Ottawa, has stirred up the bud Mood of the
opposition, and there is carnage on the moon.
("has. MetzL'cr and other German friends of John
1'nrrucker, the one who it 1 said was promised
the 1". M., are on the w arpath. They stamp their
feet upon the bloody Held of Mar und shake the
battlements of destruction, and swear that they
will take .VH) German vote from the republican
party."
the .Morns crowd jump onto -Mr. (mien in
this way: "The scramble for postoMccs and
other positions tiow going on, if allowed to be
thrown Into the hands of the representatives to
congress, as now seems likely to be the case, w ill
do more to corrupt and disorganize the service
than all the star-route business could do in its
pulinient days. At Ottawa we see a man like
Meigs, who hus been ten years in the business,
to the satisfaction of the public, and I'urruckrr,
who has done good work a Railway Postal Clerk,
told to step aside to make room for a man not in
the service, but whose principal qualification is
that he Is a prominent temperance man, and has
been useful to the member of congress," Ac., tc

employ of Mr. Mitchell, of Ottawa, and had beeu
here repairing a boiler for Alex Telfer. The last
seen of him uiive was on Monday evening, w hen
he wus down town, und liud.been drinking pret

taking the 11 o'clock freight. The next seen of
him wa the rinding of hi mangled remains, on
