CdprSciOats AprtI.

The capriciousness of April in the
weather line has been fully illustrated for
week past. Thursday nights rain was
succeeded Friday morning with snow
storm that would have done justice to De-
cember, several inches covering the ground
and things wearing genuine wintry
appearance Saturday the atmosphere tenn
pered down some and Sunday the skies
were lowering and threatening with oc-
casional dashes of rain, the atmosphere in
the afternoon and evening being sultry
and muggy, the heat continuing until
Monday morning.
Monday was truly day that tried ones
hide, the wind blowing furiously all the
time with the temperature almost at freez-
ing point making it about as uncomforta-
BILE day to be out as is generally allotted
to man in this variable climate. yesterday
halt was taken in the unpleasantness of
things and the weather got down to some
thing like spring and balmy basis which
continues up to this morning and let us
hope to stay.

KILLED bg the Cars.

A terrible accident befell Harry Moak,
brother of Postmaster Moak, in the rail
road yard at Minneapolis, Minnesota, last
Friday morning, resulting in his almost
instant death. In his capacity as yard
master Mr.. Moak was assisting to switch
train, and when rounding curve three
of the cars, one of which he had board
ed, jumped the track, which at the scene
of the accident lay parallel with the
Mississippi To save himself from pre-
cipitation into the river he leaped from
his position with the intention, it is sup
posed, of aiighting on a car on side
track and thus saving himself, but he
failed in the attempt and was thrown UNI
der the moving cars and dragged dis
lance under the wheels crushing and
mangling him in a horrible manner
After being struck he lived twenty min
utes, when death came to his relief
Some years ago deceased lived IN this
city and had resided in Minneapolis but
a short time. His sudden and urtimely
death, at the age of Al years, comes with
crushing weight upon his family and
friends. Mr.. Moak leaves wife but no
children. His body was taken to Spring
field, Illinois, his former home, for inter
ment-the funeral being held Sunday

WdtePtOsUn Statistics.

Messrs. Curtis & Hopkins have COM
pleted the statistical work of the Water
town City Directory, which will soon be
published. Their compilation shows a
population within the city limits of
1913 Fewer Browns and Smiths are
found here than usually in places less
than half the size. No Spaniards or
Italians are residents of Watertown, and
but one or two genuine French families,
while the Scandnavians are scarcely
represented in our community. There is
a commendable increase in the number
of churches of course among the Ger
man population, since the last census.
The small number of empty houses in
the city is somewhat remarkable, and the
records show that perhaps no where in a
town with as large population as ours,
Can be found so many living in houses
they own themselves in other words,
the people who rent homes in Watertown
are very few,

The CUfieCIr0I Question.

The committee of fourteen appointed
at the last session of the Episcopal Coun-
Gil of the Diocese of Wisconsin to consi-
der the Cathedral question which has
agitated church circles for some time past,
held meeting in Milwaukee last week
and amicably arranged the difficulty.
There is little doubt that the report of the
committee will be accepted without dis
senting voice by the council of the do
cese in June The basis of the agree
ment is that the Bishop shall be the one
absolute power in the cathedral and all
its affairs; that his assistant clergymen,
whether deans, canons, or anything else,
shall be simply the Bishops curates, ap-
pointed by him and removable at his
pleasure; that the dioceses will incur
no debt on account Of the cathedral; that
no assessments shall be made upon the
parishes and missions OF the diocese for
its support, and that the rights and priv
ileges of all other parishes and congre-
cations shall be firmly maintained as they
are now defined by the canons of the
church.

Miss Emile Gavin, of Chicago lady
recognized as holding high position in
the line of dramatic art, will give one of
her Popular Readings, with impersona-
tons, humorous, tragic and heroic, at
Turner Hall, Tuesday evening of next

the stage with the celebrated actor John
Mccullough, in New York city last May,

appearing on the stage or in the role of a
reader, she has been received with the
most unbounded enthusiasm. Her enter
taiment will be undoubtedly one of the
finest Evolutionary efforts ever rendered
here and we bespeak for Miss Gavin a
large audience.
