saloon and eating rooms. The mad fury of the flames was stayed at the bank building, which was of brick. The fire originated in an ash barrel, in the rear of the Whig of Seventy-Six office. The loss was estimated at $50,000.
The 7th of March, 1866, witnessed another visitation of the fire fiend, and the destruction of twelve wooden buildings on the north side of Front street. The fire started in the notion and variety store of Mr. Wheeler, and swept everything between the brick building of Hebgen & Lehrkind and that of Traver & Turner on the east. It is said, the ladies interested in the burning property joined in the work of subduing the flames, and handled water-pails with marked effect. This latter conflagration resulted in the establishment of fire limits and the building-up of numerous brick structures.
THE POST OFFICE.
J. H. Manahan was the first Postmaster in Beaver Dam. He was appointed some time in 1844. Prior to that time, Fox Lake was the nearest point rejoicing in a post office, and letters directed to citizens of Beaver Dam reached their destination very irregularly, being sent from Fox Lake by parties going thither on other business. All mail matter thus forwarded was taken to the cabin of Thomas Mackie, who attended to its distribution. Manahan kept the office in his store, which stood on the present site of the Milwaukee House. Dr. William H. Smith succeeded Mr. Manahan. He removed the office to a small building located not far from Mr. Griffis' drug store. J. H. Ward was Mr. Smith's successor. With this change in office also came the usual change in its location. A little building east of the Clark House was the headquarters of Mr. Ward. Edward Elwell was the next incumbent. He was followed by O. S. Phelps, who removed the office east on Front street, not far from Spring street. C. B. Beebe succeeded Mr. Phelps, and, in 1872, A. J. McCoy was appointed to the position. About 1874, the post office was removed to the rear portion of the building where it is now located ; and, in 1876, when R. V. Bogert received the appointment, the commodious quarters now occupied were fitted up. It was made a money-order office February 5, 1866. The first order was sent by William M. Cole to L. A. Godey, Philadelphia, and was for $4.50.
HOTELS.
The double log house built by Jacob P. Brower, in the fall of 1841, on or near the present site of the bank building, was the first structure erected in Beaver Dam that laid claim to any pretensions as a hotel. It became perforce a general resort for citizens and travelers alike, and for a long time was the only house beneath whose roof the weary could find rest. Sometime in 1844, John H. Manahan put up a light two-story frame building on the site now occupied by the Seifert House ; and in 1846, Henry Ager built the Horn House, which stood where A. P. Lawrence's store now stands. The Hooper House, built in 1848, by John Hooper, at the patronage." corner of Spring and Front streets, was the next hotel that solicited " a share of the public This property was afterward purchased by a Mr. Stevens, and it became the Stevens House. H. G. Bicknell, who changed the name of the house to Bicknell House, was the next purchaser. It became the Stevens House again under the proprietorship of L. Valentine, and when J. E. Hoyt became the proprietor the title was again changed, and the institution has ever since been known as the Hoyt House. It is now the property of the Lawrence Brothers.
About the same time the Stevens House came into existence, J. H. Ward swung his shingle as a landlord over the door of a structure occupying the site of Mr. Newton's store. After several changes in the management, this hotel went out of existence, about 1856.
The leading hotel in Beaver Dam at the present time is the Clark House, the property of Lawrence Brothers (serene William and genial Thomas). It was built in 1853, by Andrew Haight, who purchased the Horn House and removed it a short distance west of its original site, built an addition to it and christened it the Clark House in honor of Dr. Asahel Clark, then a prominent citizen of Beaver Dam. In 1858, the entire structure was destroyed by fire. A

stock company was then organized, and by them the institution was rebuilt, Mr. Haight, whose exceeding bonhomie fitted him for the position, taking charge as landlord. He afterward purchased the property, and, in 1865, he leased it to Messrs. Hard & Hunter, and became a partner in De Haven's circus. Mr. Haight subsequently sold the Clark House to A. E. Smith, who leased the property to Lawrence Brothers. Mr. Smith in turn sold to Hezekiah Dunham, and, in 1877, T. D., and W. H. Lawrence became the proprietors,

The first frame hotel built in Beaver Dam is still standing near the Milwaukee House. It was originally known as the Washington House. It was subsequently purchased by John Lehrritter, who removed it to an adjoining lot and built upon the original site a new and more commodious structure by the same name. In 1872, M. Schreidbauer became the owner, and christened it the Milwaukee House. A. Seifert purchased the property in 1875, and three years later, built a two-story brick front, and continues to be proprietor of the Milwaukee House to the present time.
The Eagle Tavern, kept by David and Jarius Benjamin, will be remembered as one of the institutions under this heading. It was opened in the fall of 1846, and stood on the site of the new City Hall building.

GOVERNMENT.
Beaver Dam was incorporated as a city in 1856, the act of incorporation being approved March 18, of that year. Prior to that time, it was under town government,, and unlike most of its sister cities, knows nothing of the hampered restraints of the village system. The first charter election was held June 2, 1856, with the following result, as shown by the canvass made by the Board of Supervisors of the town of Beaver Dam: There were 548 votes cast for Mayor, of which John Robinson received 298, and A. Scott Sloan 250. For Treasurer, J. H. Babcock, 303 votes ; J. H. Ward, 247. Police Justice, G. H. Allen, 313; D. F. Stoll, 237. City Mar- shal, Columbus . Germain, 340; S. S. Woodard, 194.

The Board was organized by the election of Alderman Phelps as Chairman, and the appointment of C. E. Havens as Clerk pro tempore. The Board then pro- cecded to the election of a permanent Clerk, and after three informal and two formal ballots, the matter was postponed. L. D.
