STAGES AND OMNIBUSES.
Before the days of railroads, modes of travel were somewhat antiquated. There were no stage lines even in Dodge County until the spring of 1848. Prior to that time, an ox team was a luxury, but the old settlers rarely rode in wagons when the walking was good, The pedes- trian feats performed by the early pioneers were of a character in comparison to which the exploits of Weston, O'Leary, and the rest of the band of walking lunatics, would pale into insignificance. Mr. Shafer, of Beaver Dam remembers having made the trip, on foot, from Milwaukee to Beaver Dam, in twenty-four hours, arriving at the latter place about daylight, where he ran a foot-race with a neighbor before taking rest or refreshments.
The first stage (a four-horse, thorough-brace mud wagon) reached Beaver Dam from Wat- ertown, in the spring of 1848.y When the strange vehicle drove up to the Eagle Tavern, the greatest excitement prevailed. The occasion was duly celebrated in true frontier style. The stage belonged to Davis & Moore, of Milwaukee, and was a part of the extensive system then in existence in the Northwest, under the control of Frink, Walker & Co., of Chicago. In 1849, the Concord coach came in vogue, and a daily line of stages was established. This con- tinued until 1856, when the railroad was completed. Omnibus lines were then established in connection with the hotels-the Clark House and the Stevens House. Mr. Haight, the pro- prietor of the former, disposed of his bus line to the Phelps Brothers, who carried on the first independent bus line in Beaver Dam. Mann, Brown & Co. then purchased the property of the Messrs. Phelps, and, a year ago, the property passed to the control of William M. Brown
STEAMBOATS.
Beaver Dam Lake furnishes unsurpassed advantages for aquatic sports-sailing and swim- ming in summer, and skating and sailing in winter. Its waters also afford ample resources for larger craft propelled by steam. In 1875, Samuel Rowell and L. V. Moulton purchased from Milwaukee parties the hull of a small sailing vessel, known to the fraternity of skippers as a "plunger," and brought it to Beaver Dam, where they overhauled it and put into it a boiler and engine and a screw wheel. It was the pride of the lake for a time, being especially noted for its speed.
A small propeller, called the "Senator Mc" (Fetridge), built, some years since, in Fox Lake, and brought to Beaver Dam by Richard Parmalee, was the next attraction in the steam- boat line on the lake. It was taken back to Fox Lake, and has since been stripped of its machinery.

HISTORY OF DODGE COUNTY.
In the spring of 1879, Rowell, Sons & Co. built, at their machine-shops in Beaver Dam, a beautiful little side-wheeler, 37 feet long and 12 feet breadth of beam, and fitted it up with a six-horse-power engine, a commodious cabin, storeroom, etc. It was launched on the 5th of June last, and christened the "Belle Rowell," in honor of Capt. Rowell's third daughter. This vessel is used by its owners for hunting and fishing excursions and private picnics. G. B. Congdon now owns an interest in the " Belle Rowell."
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The history of the establishment of the first school in Beaver Dam has already been given. In 1859, the Board of Education adopted the graded system, with such rules and regulations as were thought to be essential. In 1866, a change was made in the system, and again in 1874, when the present system was adopted. The course of instruction covers a period of twelve years, and the schools are divided into four departments, viz .: Primary, Intermediate, Grammar and High School. The first two require a course of three years each, the third two years, and the fourth, or High School, four years. The school year is divided into three terms, the first commencing the first Monday in September, continuing sixteen weeks; the second, the first Monday in January, twelve weeks; the third, the first Monday in April, twelve weeks. The corps of teachers consists of a Principal and assistant, and as many teachers for other grades as the necessities of the case may require, all under the control of a Superintendent, who, under the advice and direction of the Board of Education, has the general supervision of all the pub- lic schools, school houses and property. The Hon. James J. Dick, since 1874, has been the efficient Superintendent, and to day the schools of Beaver Dam rank second to none in the State. In this work he has had, as he well deserves, the co-operation of teachers, parents and friends of the school.
Says Mr. Dick, in his report at the close of the school year of 1878-79: "The work done in the schools the past year has generally been quite satisfactory, and they are now in better condition than at any previous time since my connection with them ; the teachers have generally faithfully seconded my efforts for the advancement of the schools, and have labored untiringly for the interests of their pupils ; and the citizens, not only those who have children in the schools, but all who have a pride in the growth and improvement of our city, have manifested an increas- ing interest in the schools, not only by placing no obstacles in the way, but by being ready at all times to co-operate with the teachers and Superintendent in all the efforts made for their general advancement."
In his report for the school year of 1876-77, the Superintendent says : "The best evidence that our schools are worthy the support given them, is the fact that the citizens of the city send their children to them for instruction. It was considered highly commendable in Senator Ker- nan, of New York, that he sent his children to the public schools of his town; and the same commendation can be given to the citizens of the city of Beaver Dam. And it is the best recommendation that the schools can have. It should be our constant aim to so administer the schools during the present year, that the same state of affairs will continue. Keeping the schools up to the same high standard of scholarship ; under the charge of competent instructors, and offering to the parents the security they now have-that their children will be efficiently protected from vice and contamination.'
That this high standard has been maintained is evident from the increased attendance and. the pride with which the schools are spoken of by the citizens. All this is being done, too, at a nominal cost, the average amount per pupil being less than any city supporting the same grade of schools in the whole Union. As evidence of this fact we append the several amounts expended during the past seven years : 1872-73, $7,705.43; 1873-74, $7,069.24; 1874-75, $6.587.28 ; 1875-76, $7,677.62; 1876-77, $7,339.44; 1877-78, $6,256.17; 1878-79, $5,700.92. Thus it will be seen for the years 1878-79 the total cost is only $5,700.92, and this for an enrollment of 813 pupils, only about $7 each for a ten-months school. This includes every expense-teachers, janitors and clerks' salaries, fuel, school supplies, repairs, etc.

Again have we recourse to the report of the Superintendent : " It has been the aim not to push one department of the schools to the neglect of any other. No good system of graded schools can exist without thoroughness in the lower grades ; and especial attention is therefore paid to the Primary and Intermediate Departments. Many pupils do not remain in school after passing through the Grammar Schools; and the course of study of the Grammar Schools has been arranged therefore with especial reference to affording to the pupils who avail themselves of their advantages, a fair knowledge of the most important elementary English studies. It is nec- essary, in order to maintain graded schools in all their integrity and usefulness, to have in con- nection a High School, not only that it may supplement the course of study, and afford an opportunity for pursuing an advanced course of study, but also for the purpose of inciting the ambition of those in the lower grades. It is an object ahead, for the pupils to strive to reach. It is true that many may not reach it, on account of leaving school, or otherwise, yet some will, and in the desire to push forward and reach it, they carry, in a great measure, the others with them, and in this way better work is not only done, but better deportment secured. The good effect is felt in all the departments of the school. A blow struck at the integrity of the High School, therefore, strikes with equal or greater effect at the other departments."
In the report of the Board of Education for 1878-79, we find the following general state- ment : Number of children of school age, 1,698 ; number of pupils enrolled in the schools, 813; number of pupils enrolled in the High School, 103; number of public schoolhouses (one now being erected), 5; whole number of schoolrooms (not including classrooms), 15; whole number all the schoolhouses will accommodate (including new ones), 850; number of days taught, 196; per cent of attendance of number enrolled, 89 ; per cent of tardiness, .02; number of foreign scholars, 11.
Of the five school buildings, one each is located in the First, Second and Third Wards, and two in the Fourth-one of the latter being an old frame building, erected in 1859, which is not now used. In the Second Ward is the High School building, built of brick, and erected in 1871, at a cost of $8,500. It is two stories in height; in size, 44x66, with two projections, each 44x8. There are five rooms, with cloak-rooms, etc. This building also accommodates the ward school. The Grammar School building is located in the Fourth Ward, and was erected in 1879, at a cost of $8,000: It is two stories in height, built of brick ; in size, 74x37, with two projections, each 37x18}; has eight rooms, with cloak-rooms, closets etc., and is designed to accommodate the ward school as well as the grammar. In the First Ward, there is a brick building, two stories in height; size, 35x55, with three rooms, and was erected in 1870, at a cost of $4,650. It is only for the accommodation of the ward school. In the Third Ward is a brick building, 32x36, with three rooms, and erected in 1867, at a cost of $4,800. It is only for the accommodation of the ward school.

German-English School .- August 1, 1872, was organized and incorporated under provi- sions of an act of the Legislature, the German-English School of Beaver Dam, for the pur- pose of giving the children of German parents such education as was thought by the incorpora- tors to be necessary, without the necessity of taking the course prescribed in the public schools. The first year, school was held in the First Ward Schoolhouse, and in the mean time, steps were being taken for the erection of a good. substantial brick building for that purpose, which was completed in time for its use the second year, at a cost of $2,000. Prof. Newborn was the first teacher. Prof. Aug. Brunke occupies the position in the session of 1879-80, at a salary of $700 per year. About forty pupils are in daily attendance. In connection with the school is a gymnasium, with the following officers elected January, 1880: A. Brunke, 1st Speaker; G. Hammer, 2d Speaker; C. Miller, 1st Turnwart; L. C. Gebard, 2d Turnwart ; John Zan- der, Treasurer; Henry Krueger, Secretary ; Will H. Sherman, Property-man. This society was organized November 14, 1878.
PUBLIC HALLS.
The first hall calculated for the accommodation of public gatherings in Beaver Dam, was in the upper portion of Horn's Tavern, which stood on the present site of A. P. Lawrence's store. When the old Stevens House was built in 1848, a portion of the structure was devoted to a dance hall, which was used for Terpsichorean and other purposes, until the erection of Con- cert Hall, about 1855. Prior to the latter date, however, William Farrington had drawn plans and specifications for a three-story frame building, on the south side of Front street, in which he proposed to maintain a large public hall. The contract for building the framework of the structure was let to William Gowdey, father of our mutual friend, Dave, while the masonry was given to another party to perform. When the stone-work had been finished, Mr. Gowdey came upon the scene with his oaken sills, sleepers, beams and joists, and proceeded to carry out his agreement. The frame up and the roof nearly on, Beaver Dam was visited by a terrific wind-storm, which shook the very foundations of the most substantial buildings, and caused the "oldest inhabitant" to sigh for the safety of his property. Of course Farrington's new build- ing, open on every side and no holes in the top, the roof being about completed, was but a toy for the eccentricities of the blizzard, and was, consequently, lifted from its foundations; but fortunately, Old Boreas let go to get a fresh hold, when the whole concern went to pieces. Mr. Gowdey and a fellow-workman, named Ezekiel Swarthout, happened to be in the building at the time, the former in the cellar, searching for a tool that had slipped from his hands while on the roof, and the latter in the second story, in the act of climbing to the third. Mr. Swarthout felt the building start from its foundation, and grasping an upright beam, he clung to it until the crisis came, which was very soon. When the building reached terra firma, the beam to which Mr. Swarthout was clinging, sprang and threw him out into the middle of the street,

beyond the danger of falling timbers, without injuring him a particle. Of course Mr. Gowdey was crushed to atoms beneath the mass-or at least it was very natural to think that he was. The usual excitement followed, the citizens gathering from every direction, to feast their morbid curiosity, and speculate upon the cause of the calamity. A few of them commenced removing the debris, to find the mangled remains of the unfortunate Mr. Gowdey, while others shuddered and looked sad and pale in anticipation of beholding a frightful spectacle. Slowly the work of excavation proceeded, when finally, as if emanating from the recesses of a sepul- cher, a " still, small voice" was heard : "I'll make it hot for some one if you don't take this stick off my heel !" Mr. Gowdey was soon brought to the surface without a scratch. The grief of his distracted wife and children, who had been kindly informed that the husband and father was dead, was soon turned to joy at seeing the beloved one walk into the house minus a boot-heel. The wreck was collected and used in the reconstruction of the building, the lower portion of which is occupied by N. W. Goodman, as a store.
Concert Hall Building, a three-story brick, was built in 1855, by Bicknell & Thorn. It is now the property of Doolittle & Babcock. Loomis' Hall, over Tillman's feed store, and the old Masonic Hall, in Ackerman's Building, came into existence soon afterward. Music Hall Building was built in 1866, soon after the second great conflagration, by F. Ege. It is now the property of the Krueger estate. The three-story brick at the corner of Front and Center streets, in which are located the halls occupied by the Masons and Odd Fellows respectively, was constructed in 1867, by Krueger & Lehrkind, the present owners.
Old Temperance Hall was in the third story of Fring's Block, which was destroyed by the first fire, of 1863. The hall at present occupied by the cold-water advocates, was built in 1863, by A. P. Lawrence, in connection with that gentleman's store.
THE RACE COURSE.
In December, 1866, an organization of citizens of Beaver Dam was formed, known as the Beaver Dam Agricultural, Mechanical and Stock Association, for the purpose of maintaining a fair ground and race course. Twenty-one acres of land were purchased of the Ackerman estate, at a cost of. $1,700, upon which were erected and laid out a grand stand and other buildings and a half-mile race track. Among the original stockholders were T. L. New- ton, D. J. Pulling, G. C. Gunn, W. D. Edgerton, S. D. Burchard, E. J. Boomer, M. W. Erway, W. L. Parker, J. S. Rowell, H. W. Lander, Ira Rowell and others. About two years ago, John S. Rowell purchased the grounds of the Association, and is the present owner.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The city is well provided in case of fire, with a perfectly organized fire department, com- posed of the Germania Fire Company and Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, under one chief. Germania Fire Company was organized December 1, 1867, and in June following they received their new engine, which has ever since been in constant use, and is the pride of the boys, its capacity having been tested on more than one occasion, and in a manner to merit all the praise bestowed upon it. The cost of engine and hose cart was $3,200.
September 3, 1878, a large number of citizens assembled in Music Hall and organized a Hook and Ladder Company of twenty-one members, and ordered from the Babcock Manufact- uring Company of Chicago, a truck and all necessary apparatus. Immediately after organizing the Hook and Ladder Company, the members of the two Companies united for the purpose of organizing a complete fire department under one chief. At their first meeting in 1879, the fol- lowing named were elected : Theo. Huth, Chief Engineer ; John T. Smith, First Assistant ; Philip Binzel, Second Assistant ; John S. Rowell, Third Assistant; G. Stolz, Secretary ; S. P. K. Lewis, Treasurer ; Ira Rowell, Steward. Fire Wardens-Joseph Caspari, John Neuhrohr, D. D. Gowdey and H. L. Bogert, in their respective wards. At the annual meeting in January, 1880, these officers were unanimously re-elected.

BANKS.
Among the banking institutions that have existed in Beaver Dam may be mentioned the Dodge County Bank, (a private institution), established in 1854, by J. A. Nehrig ; the City Bank of Beaver Dam, B. G. Bloss, President, and W. S. Huntington, Cashier ; Bank of Beaver Dam, Charles Miller, President; the Farmers' Bank and the National Bank of Beaver Dam. The Farmers' Bank was organized in 1865, with a capital stock of $50,000. The officers were S. S. Sherman, President ; Charles Miller, Vice President ; C. W. Whinfield, Cashier. Directors-Charles D. Nash, Charles Miller, G. H. Stewart, S. S. Sherman, and Abiatha Joy. In 1866, it was re-organized as the National Bank of Beaver Dam, with the following officers: J. J. Williams, President; Charles Miller, Vice President ; C. W. Whinfield, Cashier. . Directors-S. S. Sherman, Charles Miller, A. Joy, Charles Burchard and J. J. Williams. The present officers are J. J. Williams, President ; Charles Miller, Vice President ; C. W. Whinfield, Cashier. Directors-J. J. Williams, Charles Miller, C. W. Whinfield, C. W. Daniels and C. E. Lewis.
THE VITA SPRING.
The recent discovery, within the corporate limits of the city of Beaver Dam, of a mineral spring possessing unexcelled medicinal properties, lends an additional charm to this beautiful place, and brings it within the pale of the most attractive of summer resorts. The history of Dr. Swan's spring cannot better be told than by reproducing articles from the Citizen, written by Rev. Silas Hawley to Judge L. D. Livermore, soon after the fortunate discovery was made: " Our citizens, generally, have never known their own place, have never properly estimated it. Its rare beauties and advantages they have not understood. Familiarity has blinded them. Strangers are quick to see our superior charms and opportunities, and go into ecstasies over them. And yet they do not see all. A few here have long felt that we had grand possibilities as a watering-place. And this without reference to any springs known to exist. It was believed that by artesian fountains we could have the best quality of magnetic water, and, per- haps, that containing other properties. All that seemed needed was enterprise and means. The writer of this has so urged. Dr. Swan, though only a resident of four years, became enthusiastic in this belief, and strove nobly, before discovering the great spring that is sure to make his name famous, to stir up the citizens to bore for such fountains. But he found little to encourage. In this extremity a better thing disclosed itself. (The best things turn up in extremities.) It was suggested to him that there was an old spring in a certain pasture, that must some day prove valuable. This came as a revelation. He went and examined the spring. It was evident at once as tested by both feeling and taste, that it contained alkaline substances, and presumably other mineral properties. It was, in addition, clear, pure and cold. Besides, the capacity of the spring was simply enormous. These discoveries very quickly fixed his
