You are to bear in mind that in Q thea

great theatre. So the eyes arc fairly
daxzled by the number Of groups and

A Sad ana mysterious Afai9.

Great was the excitement which pre-
vailed in our midst when, on last Satnr-
day afternoon it was reported that John
Weber, a we'll known and promiBent
business man Of our city, connected with
the milling frm OF May, Weber & Co.,
was missing. So strange an announce
meat fairly startled our citizens and its
subsequent circulation became widespread
and general. The more interested and
anxious hearers Of the news besought
relatives of the man for particulars, but
could learn nothing satisfactory as to
causes, and only succeeded in obtaining
the knowledge that Mr.. Weber had, SO
far as could be ascertained by ing uiries,
quietly and without notification disap-
peared. Excuses and suggestions were
offered to the effect that he mighr have
hastily concluded to attend someabusiness
arrangements out of the city, and had no
time to notify interested ones before
hand. But there being nothing special
and demanding of his attention elsewhere
this theory was dispelled, and the con-
clusion was that possibly slight derange-
ment of the mind had prompted Mr.
Weber's absence, though this idea was
entertained with reluctance. Search was
at once instituted, and attention turned
to the mill and its surroundings. The
waters above and below the dam received
the careful inspection of large force o.
men, while many rendered assistance
by searching for information from those
who last saw him. Diligent enquiring

When the car Of progress is moving for

keep pace with this march OF civilization

ing the Rip Van Wrinkle sleep Of twenty
years tn get up in the morning and enter
the race. Watertown has arrived at that
period of her existence where she must
step to the front and maintain her posi-
ton among the inland cities of the state.
Manufacturing and jobbing are the only
two industries that build city We are
as large as we can expect to be with our
present manufacturing In fact our pres
ent population can be hardly sustained up
on our present resources. What we want
and what we must have is more manu-
featuring. There is plenty of idle CAPT
tai here and it is difficult to make loans
of money Cd good securities at over per
cent. In fact some of our capitalists are
seeking to make investments in the far
west to get reasonable interest. Now
we believe this money which has been
made here should be invested to build
up our city. Manufacturing pays, there
are numerous articles o. every day use
which can be made at good profit here
and this money should be invested to
manufacture these articles,in our midst.
We are favorably situated On the two
trunk lines of railroad and can ship upon
favorable terms in every direction; pro-
perty is cheap, labor abundant and can
be obtained at much lower figures than
in any other town in the state. All OF
our manufacturing institutions now in
operation are making money; many of
them being crowded with orders and it
seems as though at this present time
when our country is entering upon sea-
son of great prosperity that our business
men and capitalists take hold of this
manufacturing problem and aid in every
possible way the establishment of those
industries which will increase our popu-
lation, fill our vacant stores, and once
again see Watertown on the high road of
prosperity.

Beaver Dam with only one line of rail-

recently raised $4,000 to build and start

of our citizens to these important facts.
We should not be outdone. CHOW is the
