in-law of our townsman, H. T. Eberle.
It is needless to formally introduce
Herman Wertheimer, the nominee for
treasurer, to the voters of the county.
Everybody knows him as one OF those
honest, substantial and whole-souled
Germans whose characteristics always
identify them with the best interests
of community. Such is Mr.. Vert
heimer to our city, and often has the
confidence of bis fellows been reposed
in him in various ways. We are sure
he will prove one of the best vote
getters on the ticket.
H. A. Porter, who will make the run
for clerk of court, is one of the county's
best known citizens. He has long been
associated with public affairs and often
served his constituents as supervisor
and in other capacities. He is a thor
oughly competent gentleman.
Watertown's young attorney, Mich
olas Thauer, of the firm Of Skinner &
Thauer, will seek the sufrages of the
people for district attorney, and in his
selection the county would make no
mistake. A graduate of the University
of Wisconsin law school, and of an ex-
ceedingly studious disposition, Mr..
Thauer has since beginning the prac-
tice of his profession been unusually
successful, and be would certainly
bring to the Office a capability and
high sense of duty that would be re-
freshing. In the convention Mr.
Thauer made an address that was full
of telling points, very favorably inn
pressing his hearers, and he will effect
lively stump the county this fall in the
interest of his party's ticket.
II. A. Thorn, for superintendent Of
schools, would prove to be the right
man in the right place He is teach
er of wide experience, thoroughly fit
ted to oversee the county's school
work.
John Whittet and C. ?. Goodrich,
the nominees for coroner and surveyor,
respectively, are both old and we'll
known residents of the county, long in
the public's service.

TWO OLD RESIDENTS GONE.
Death of August Fuermann, Sr.. and O
Mrs. Lima Brueggerhof.

Death of August Fuermann, Sr. and of
Mrs. Lima Brueggerhof.
One of Watertown's prominent and
old-time business men, August Fuer-
mann, Sr., president of the A. Fuer,
mann Brewing company, has departed
this life, his death occurring at his
residence on North First street, last
Wednesday afternoon, September 5, at
2 o'clock. His disease was stomach
troubles, from which he had been all
ing for several months past. Mr.. Fuer-
mann was a native of Germany, and
was born January s, 1922. In 1847 he
emigrated to the United States, first
settling at Milwaukee, where he en-
gagged in the grocery and saloon busi-
ness. A few years later he took up his
abode in Watertown, and this has ever
Quoted one of the pioneer breweries of
the state, beginning on small scale in
building 24x50 feet in size. This has
gradually grown to an establishment
of considerable magnitude, being at the
present time one of the city's foremost
enterprises and among the largest
brew cries of the state, and a large
measure of the concerns s success must
be attributed to Mr.. Fuermann's supe-
rior business qualifications.
The deceased was married in 1916 to
Miss Chrlstiana Hengott, who died
some years since. Eight children sur
vive, namely: Charles, and Mrs. F.
Bursinger, of this city; julius, Mrs. H.
Wollering and Henry, of Chicago; Mrs.
A. J. Weiss, Albert and Gerhard, of
this city. In both business and private
life Mr.. Fuermann was kind consider
ate and neighborlY, and his death is
greatly regretted by an extensive ac-
quaintanceship. Sunday afternoon the
funeral took place, a very large con-
course of neighbors and friends being
in attendance. The remains were in
tered in Oak Hill cemetery.
Mrs. Lima Brueggerhof a resident
here for twenty-five years, died early
Saturday morning, September s, 1894,
at the home of her sister, Mrs. Min ma
Field, 200 North Second street, of neu-
ralgia of the stomach, in her 10Th year.
Up to three weeks ago, when she re-
ce1ved her first neuralgic attack, the
deceased had been an exceptionally
hale and hearty person, and her sud-
den demise was therefore considerab BILE
of surprise. Mrs. Brueggerhof was
we'll known in German circles, having
lived with Mrs. Field ever since the
death of her husband, shortly after the
civil war. Previous to that time, since
coming to this country, she had resided
in st. Louis. She was born in Hessia,
Germany. on January q, 1919. A large
circle of friends, by whom Mrs. Rrueg-
gerhof was held in high esteem, paid
tribute to her memory by being pres
ent at the last sad rites, which took
place at her late home Monday after
noon, interment being made at Oak

A Walter who Knew suficient Bostonesc

The pampered child of luxury from
Boston was caught over night in q
rough town in Montana. In the dim

cowboy waiter, who had seen better

'Have you any lobster la New

informed there was no soup.
Nav, but theirs some lobster 10

"Have you any pate de foie grass
'Naw, the dry weather killed it all
off,"
"Have you any sweetbreads and
peas?''
Mary one; hain't got any kind of
bread but sody biscuit"
Have you any terrapin?"
The waiter couldn't stand it any
longer.
''Lookee here, young feller," he
said, pulling up chair and resting
his elbows on the table very famil-
iarly, "you amt built fer Montana
feed. What you ought to do is to go
back to Boston and live on the funda-
mental concepts of modern philosophic
thought and BEANS" and the gentle
man from Boston was utterly par
alyzed.

MEN WHO WAC THEIR EARS.

They Are Not Uncommon Anywhere and
Are Plentiful Among Half Breeds.
''Mr. Slater is in error in thinking
that comparatively few now possess
thepower to 'waG the year. writes Eu-
gene NJ. Aaron in Science. The power
is common among the West Indian
half breeds and the Maya and other
derivatives of Mexico and Central
America, and many whites have the
power who hardly realize the fact IL
is not uncommon to observe this if one
will suddenly say to companion,
What was that noise?' If Mr.. Slater
will say this in semi-startled way, he
will notice that in no in considerable
number of cases there will be a slight
instructive movement of the muscles in
question, more or loss pronounced.
Nor is the ear that Darwin illustrates
in his Descent of Man as being allied
to the pointed type belonging to our
Simian relatives as uncommon as
many may imagine. 1t is my observa-
ton that this popularity of the fold in
question is oftenest to be observed in
women, and in many of these cases tho
persistence of the wisdom teeth is also
Characteristic. ! have in mind two
cases of this sort, one of a man, the
other of a woman, both residents of

other marked characteristics 1t ap-

huddled themselves together in a
remote corner and keeping their
eyes on the doll, chartered away at
a great rate. Finally one big monkey.
little drawer than the rest, began to
advance cautiously upon the intruder.
When within about three feet of the
doh, the monkey proceeded to stamp
the floor and chatter, evidently in
tending to brighten the visitor away.
Finding that the doll did not move
and that there was nothing very
formidable about It, the other mon
keys began to approach until they
were all collected around their mys-
terious guest. At last after cycling il
and smelling around for several min.

Montana City Block.
People passing the Realty block in
Anaconda, Mont, were attracted by
novel sight in the window of one Of
the vacant store rooms In a shallow
wooden box, less than three feet
square, their downy bodies in con-
slant motion and their shrill pipings
sounding even through the glass, are
seventy-two chickens, apparently as
happy as If they were in barnyard
under the care of a bustling hen. The
box is "brooder" and is the only
mother that the seventy-two fluffy
youngsters have ever known, and in
it they have lived for the week that
they have been alive. Prompted by
curiosity reporter sought out Mrs.
Childs, the landlady of the
building, to learn il possible
whether or not she intends
to start poultry ranch in n three
story brick block in the city, and if
she is, to learn how she proposes to
run it, Mrs. Childs demonstrated
very easily that she knows what she
is doing, and that she can do it sue
cessfully. She has. started to raise
broilers for the market and intends to
do it in her block. Mrs. Childs' apart
ments are on the third story and in
one of her rooms she has two incu-
bators, one containing 100 eggs and
the other 200. Here the chickens are
Matched, and as soon as they get the
use of their legs they are transferred
to the brooder and taken to the base
ment, which has been divided into
pens of convenient size. Here they
live in the brooder until they arc two
weeks old, when they are placed IN
the pens and allowed to run about and
grow. When they are eight or nine
weeks old they are ready Cor market.

TWENTY MILLION YEARS.
N That Time the Extinction OF tho Sun
VIII KIN This Earth.

VIII Aul Thls E8ftns
According to all probability, not
withstanding all the circumstances
which threaten 1t, our planet will die,
dot of an accident, but a natural death,
saws Camille Flammarion in L'Astron-
omie. That death will be the conse-
quence of the extinction of the sun in
twenty million years or more-perhaps
thirty-since it's condensation at rela-
lively moderate rate will give it on one
hand seventeen million years of exist
ence, while on the other hand the in>
evitable fall of meteors into the sun
may double this number. Even If you
suppose the duration of the sun to be
prolonged to forty million years, it is
still incontestable that the radiation
from the sun cools it, and that the tenn
perature of all bodies tends to an cqui-
librium. The day will come when tho
sun will be extinct. Then the earth
and all the other planets of our sys-
tenn will cease to be the abode OF
life. They win be erased from the
great book and viii rcvolve, black
cemeteries, around an cXtinguished
sun. Win these planets continue to
exist even then? Yes, probably, in tho
ease OF Jupiter, and perhaps Saturn.
No, beyond Q doubt, for the small
bodies, such as the earth, Venus, Mars,
Mercury and the moon. Already the
moon appears to have preceded us to-
ward the final desert. Mars is much
farther advanced than the earth to-
ward the same destiny. Venus, young
err than us, Will doubtless survive us.
These little worlds lose their elements
of vitality mach faster than the sun
loses its heat. From century 10 cen
tury, from year 10 year, from day to
day, from hour to hour, the surface of
the earth is transformed. On the ono
hand the continents are fcrumbling
away and becoming covered by the sea,
which insensibly and by very slow de-
grees tends to invade and submergc the
entire globe; on the other hand the
amount of water on the surface of the
globe is diminishing. a careful and
reasonable calculation shows that by
the action of crasure alone all the
land on our planet will be covered by
wntcr in ten million years.

HIS COURAGE FAILED HIM.

He Caught the Boy, But Appearances
Were Too Strong Against Him.
He was well-dressed, weIl-fed,
horid-complexioned man, who carried a
cane and an air of dissatisfaction as
he sauntered up Sixth avenue, says the
New York Recorder. ~
Suddenly this complacency was in
terrupted by a stick of wood which
struck him square on the bridge of
the nose, and emanated from larger
stick held in the hand of a street
gamin who was playing Zip" on the
sidewalk.
The man made rush for the boy,
and the boy for the middle of the
street. On they few, through slush
and debris, until the man overlook the
gamin about a block and a half from
where the race began.
Up to this time the boy had been
very game, turning every few jumps to
laugh in his pursuer's face and put his
thumb to his nose in manner most
infuriating. But when he was collared
he changed policy and began to sob as
If he were being murdered.
OF course there was the usual crowd
of lookers-on, most of them women,
who, according to their proverbial
sympathy with the under dog, pelted
the man with such tongue missiles as:
See the great, big, cruel-hearted
monster! To beat o poor, little, in
nocent child like that! He ought to
be tarred and fcathercdm etc.
The mans courage failed him Hold
ing the boy at arms length, he looked
regretfuily at him a moment. He
wanted to pummcl him, but giving him
one fccblc, pcrfunctory little shake he
sat him gently on his legs, and, cross
ing the street, continued his way.
