TaE MANS buff OF IolNr.

We have not struck a person yet that
is satisfied with the present condition of
the mail service in these parts. the late
changes in therailroad time tables up
setting the former perfect and satisfactory
system that was ia vogue. Take for in
stance the mannsr Of sending a letter to
Redwood, 8 miles distant from here on
the ST. Paul road. This letter is put
upon the 'limited train" and carried by
Redwood nearly to La Crosse when it is
placed upon the train coming this way
and finally delivered at Redwood after
travelling IT'S miles in order to attain
miles. This is on the reduction ascend
ing scale, with rather too much of ven
geance. Other instances might be cited
to show the vexstious and tedious
idiosyncrasles of the present mail ar
raneements around here.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.

It is altogether a mistake to suppose
that D. II. Brown, the excellent clerk of
the court, 10 not to be b candidate for re-
nomination before the coming Democratic
county convention, and the determine
ton of Mr.. Browns friends to press bis
claims, makes still further complication
of affairs before the convention. Water
town cannot expect more than two names
on the Democr attic county ticket, she
usually gets but one, and as it appears to
be sforegone conclusion that district
attorney Conway will be nominated
again the question remains open, whether
Mr.. Brook for sheriff or Mr.. Bieber for
clerk OF the court, will be the other selec-
ton from this city. Mr.. Brown from the
efficient manner she, has conducted his
Office, has become q popular candidate
and will no doubt bestrongly backed in
the convention. His nomination would
be OF course favorable to the Brook pro-
gramme. that is if it is determined to
extend to Watertown the boon of two
candidates. On the other hand the defeat
of Brown BY Bieber would end Brooks
chances, and hence boiled down the
Democrats here have a fight on hand
between the Brook and Bieber forces.
With the district attorneyship sent else
where there might possibly be chance
for both Brook and Rieber, but in view
of the treatment usually accorded to
WATERFOWL by the powers that be at JEFF.
ferson, such result is highly improba.

ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO LAKE MILLS.

A ride from WATERFOWL to Lake
Mills is rather re.assuring of there being
ne immediate danger OF famine, not
withdrawing the long continued drought
the country is suffering from. We saw
some fields of excellent barley, and the
pieces of winter wheat looked in fine con-
ditien, just ready for the reaper. Rye
stands high, but We judge has rather a
light head, Corn appears promising, has
o good growth and color, but of course
could be much improved by rain. Oats
are short and somewhat thin. Potatoe
patches showed up well with their strong,
healthy vines. Iu view of the dry sea-
son, it was surprising to see meadows
and grass lands look as fresh and vigorous
as they do, affording fair pasturage and
giving plenty OF milk to work up at Hill
Top and other cheese factories situated
along our route.
Milford, with the ruins of burned build.
ings, the debris of the dam and the evil
dences of departed prosperity that meet
the eye, presents the picture OF the
deserted village" that must have been
vivid in the IMAGINATION of Goldsmith. II
we will be forgiven seeming contradic-
ton in terms, it was the Fourth of July
at Lake Mills on Saturday, the third, and
even at s o'clock A. M. the little village
was already astir with the preparations
for the days doings. "Young men and
maidens" in carriages were conspicuous
smong the quota from the surrounding
country to do homage to the day, and it
10 needless to say they made the 'dust
Hy." The beautiful wooded grounds
that skirt the shore of Rock Lake within
the village limits, were occupied by pic
mic parties, while horse racing and base
ball held full sway else where in the little
hamlet. But we shall not attempt to
particularize further; there would be no
ending Suffice it to say, that Lake
Mills has many attractive features as
summer resort, and ought in the near
future to have her claims fully recognized
in this respect. There was splendid
game of base ball at the Lake Mills park
in the afternoon between the Blues of
Lake Mills and the Bay Views, resulting
in the success of the latter by the score
of 9 to /. There was some sharn
playing by both clubs, the battery work
of each being very fine. The Lake Mills
boys were somewhat weaker in the field
than their opponents, which largely &C
counted for their defeat. Two of their
best men being absent, their places had
to be substituted by couple of players
who were cut of practice.

A GOOD MOVE.

In Difference to the feelings of the wor-
shippers in the several churches, the band
for the celebration last Sunday ceased
playing during the hours for divine SER
vice. 1t is with pleasure that we pub.
lish this evidence of respect shown to the
religious sentiment of the community,
and the members of both the Concordia
and Turner societies are entitled to great
credit for their considerate action in the
matter. We trust for the sake of the good
name Of Watertown that further con-
cessions will be made in REGARD to Sun
day obseryances here, and that the spirit
of compromise and Cancellation will &c
forward until our church-going people
will have no more cause for complaint.

TIE HAHERLY MINISTRIES.

good house at Turner Hall last evening,
Notwithstanding the intense heat of the
weather. The entertainment was first
class throughout, affording rich treat to
the audience. DR.. Sawtelle's st. Bernard
Galaxy, headed by the magnificent
Roland, won the admiration of all. These
dogs are the finest ever exhibited. The
military movements given by portion of
the company were as near perfection as
could be. Altogether the performance
gave excellent satisfaction.

The body of Eichard Usher, of the

morning in Cranyle's meadow. There
were no marks of violence on his body,

dered about in a telirious condition and

GRACE MEMORIAL CHAPEL.

Last Friday morning the cornerstone
of Grace Memorial Chapel, to be erected
by Miss Sue s. Cady in memory of her
deceased parents was laid according to
the Episcopal ritual. Rev. J. B. Finn,
rector of St. Paurs church, oficiated and
delivered an appropriate address on the
occasion so fraught with interest to the
parish, q large congregation being present
to join in the impressive ceremonies.
The Holy Communion was celebrated
in the church, after which the con-
gregation, preceded by the choir boys,
singing the professional "Onward,
Christian Soldiers" repaired to the
chapel foundation and the corner stone
was then laid with the usual ceremony.
The casket in the stone contains
the followings A memorial; copy Of
Living Church Annual; copy of st.
Pauls Parrish Messenger; copy Of ..Liv-
ing Church; copy of Wisconsin Calen.
dar; copy OF Watertown Republican;
copy of Nashotah Sckoliast; history of
the Chapel; names of the contractors;
coins.
Ths rector and congregation were
greatly disappointed in that Rev. w.
Dafter, the former old rector of st. Paul's,
was not present. Word has been re.
ceived since that he was prevented by
sudden sickness in his family, as well as
by the receipt of the news of bis fathers
death.

MORRISON R. WAITE,
CHIET-JUsTIcR OF THE UNITED STATES

In the quiet old rural town Of Lyme.
Connecticut. still stands the house
where Morrison Renwick Waite was
born. November %. 1916. Mr.. Waite
entered Yale College at the age of sew
enteen and graduated with honors In
1887, in class which included William
M. Evarts. Edward Pierrepont. Professor
Silliman and others who have become
distinguished men. He then began tie
study OF law in his fathers Office at
Lyme. but finished his. studies in the
Office OF Samuel III. Young, then a prom
inent attorney in Maumee City, Ohio.
In 1899 his preceptor took him into
partnership. and in 1850 the firm OF
Young & Waite removed TO Toledo, Ohio.
where they began what soon proved to
be large and successful practice. A
few years after, Mr.. Waite's younger
brother was admitted to the bar, and a
partnership was formed consisting OF
the two brothers. which continued up to
the time Of the formers appointment to
his present high position, by President
Grant. January goth, 1874.
Politically Mr.. Waite is Republican.
but he was always too deeply engaged
in his profession to become much OF a
partisan or party leader. To all the war
measures OF the Government he gave
earnest and effective support. In 1919
Mr.. Waite was elected to the Ohio Leg
lature as Wing. In 1862 he was re-
luctantly candidate for Congress, but
was defeated by Edwin NJ Phelps
Thereafter other nominations and ap-
pointments were rendered him, but he
refused TO accept any OF them.
Mr.. Waite was a conspicuous member
OF the Geneva Tribunal. as one OF the
Unite States counsel. and he periormed
his arduouS task 10 his great credit and
