+ ell From the Train.

Friday evening at about O'Clock R.
h. Cantlllon, of GAINESVILLE, brakeman
belonging to the crew of a north bound
freight train on the Chicago 4 North
western railway, fell from box-car,
while setting a brake at Johnson Creek
and sustained several seal p wounds and
injuries to his side. He was brought
to this city and received attention from
the roads physician, Dr. W. G. Spald-
ing. His injuries were not serious, he
being able the following morning to go
to his home. The fall was occasioned,
it is thought, by the sudden lurching
of the train, Cantillon being thrown
between two cars. He struck the
bumpers and was diverted from the
rails, which no doubt saved him from
more serious results.

Married..

1t may not be generally known that
our popular fellow townsman, F. E.
Book, went to Watertown, the last day
Of the old year, in company with Miss
Louise Haney, and was quietly mar
ried. But such is the case. We con-
gratulate Mr.. Book on his choice of q
life partner and we are sure we
are joined by all our readers. The
bride has been the efficient house
keeper of the groom for a number OF
years past and is a lady loved and re-
spected by all who know her.-Bosco-

Farmers Club Ball.

With each succeeding year the ball
of the Watertown Farmers club be.
comes greater success, the one held
last Friday night leading all previous
ones both in point of attendance and
social features. Turner Opera house
held within it's walls throng that may
be estimated at fully 700. The seats
surrounding the dancing space were
wholly inadequate to accommodate
the people, many being compelled to
stand between the dances, and, too, the
gallery was we'll filled with lookers-On.
As the tuneful and inspiriting strains Of
each consecutive number of the pro-
gram were sounded, the floor at once
became mass of gaily gliding humani
ty, and this animated scene continued
unabated until the hours of the clock
told it was o'clock Saturday morning.
The success of the ball in every respect
could hardly have been greater, and
this desirable circumstance was due
largely to the efficiency and experience
of the mem bers of the arrangements
committee, which was composed of
Ernst Kruger, Dr. A H. Hartwig, G.
Schultz, Otto Hildemann, Joe Mol
zahn, Robert Schmidt and A. L. Will
liams. Hardege's orchestra of seven
pieces held forth on the music plat
form, dispensing their customary ex
cellent selections, while the prompt
ing was done by John Beisner, John
Molzahn, Ed. Byrnes and others. Sup
per of a superior quality was served in
the lower hall, Mrs L. S1ebert being
the caterer.

a jefferson Fire.

A press dispatch from Jefferson says
that the Chicago & Northw estern
freight depot was totally destroyed by
fire at O'Clock Saturday afternoon.
Owing to the headwaY the fire had
gained before discovery, but little of a
large amount of stored freight was
saved. and the loss will reach about
$5,000 The Northwestern hotel, owned
by Joseph Fernho.z, and the storage
warehouse Of the Wisconsin Manufact-
uring company, were also badly dam
aged The loss on the former is about
81 800, fully covered by insurance. The
loss on the latter, which was full of fur
niture, was caused principally by wa
ter. The damage to the building and
contents is estimated at $1,000.
At one time it was thought the fire
could not be subdued by the home de-
partment, so telephone message was
sent to Mayor Moak asking to have the
Watertown department in readiness to
render assistance, but the fire was
finally got under control and outside
assistance not needed. Fort Atkinson
was also asked to assist.

Henry Tegeler, Tailor, Deserts His
Wife and Business.
Last week Henry Tegeler, a tailor
doing business at 313 Main street,
second floor, took his departure from
the city without leaving any informa-
lion as to his destination with his wife
or friends. 1t is presumed he skipped
the town" for good. Tegeler came here
from Grand Rapids, Mich, about two
years ago, and began tailoring on a
small scale. Little by little the busl-
ness grew, and this winter it is said to
have assumed good proportions. But
the proprietor was evidently a poor
manager, for 1t is stated that numero us
unpaid bills began to pile upon him,
and these, together with mortgage on
his stock and the large amounts due his
workmen, caused his financial embar-
rassment. 1t is not positively stated, i,
however, that financial troubles caused
his disappearance many Of his acquaint-
ances seeming to think it a case of
"ancther woman" especially since
rumor has it that of late he has not been
the best of husbands. With the busi-
ness on her hands, Mrs. Tegeler, who
is lady enjoying the respect and good
will of many friends, has made arrange
ments to continue it. The sty lie Of the
firm will be the Watertown Tailoring
company, with j. w. Brookfeld as
manager

Mr.. Stones Qualifications,

Speaking of our worthy townsman,
Hon. Jesse Stone, in connection with
the permanent chairmanship of the
Republican State Central committee,
the Milwaukee correspondent of The
Chicago Times-H Herald thus comments:
Mr.. Stone, of Watertown, has been in
the thick of the party fights for years
as valued and trusted counselor. HI is
man of wealth and leisure, possesses
executive ability of a high order, and
above all has the confidence and friend
ship of every Republican of conse-
quence in the state. All these things
would seem to make him the ideal lead
er, but unfortunately he does not want
the place, and, more than that, says be
would not consider it for moment, and
it is extremely doubtful if anything
would make him change his mind.

Oflic1aI Members and Presiding Elder SAT-
Ia be AT I.lgrArlitnus.

Oiiic1aI Members and Presiding Elder Said
To he at Loggerheads.
Some Of the official members of AS
bury Church and Presiding Elder Bar
rett are said to be at loggorheads A
member who WAS interviewed Saturday
morning was unable to say how the
matter will terminate.
The trouble, it is stated, is con-
troversy over money. The church in
required to raise $l6C this year for the
presiding elders fund and 81, 900 for
the missionary fund, which, it is
claimed, is an impossibility. DIR. Bar
rett, il is asserted, WAS, asked to assist
in having the apportIonment reduced
and refused.
Several years ago Asbury was one of
the most prosperous churches in the
Wilmington Conference and money was
raised without difficulty. but things
have changed. Some of the wealthy
members, who were large contributors,
have died and others have Withdrawn
to unite with other churches and con-
sequently it is impossible to raise
nearly as large sun of money now as
| formerly.
When the apportionments were made
many of tho members thought they
would be unable to do what was re-
quired of them and steps were at once
taken to have tho apportionments re-
duced. At tho last quarterly confer
enoe, it is said, DIR. Barrett was asked
to use his influence in securing Il re-
duction but he declined, saying he
thought the church would come out all
right. The official members it il
stated, intended to make a similar
request at the last meeting of the dis
trict stewards, but since Asbury's rep.
rosentativo did not receive his notice
of the meeting in time he was not pres
| ent.
Another effort will be made to have
the apportionmentsr and ii the
attempt fails, it is declared, the church
will contribute what it can and allow
| the remainder to 90 unpaid.

Peach crop IJa,nugea by Rot.

Bridgeville, Aug. 1.-The peach
crop will be much smaller than was
expected. The decrease is caused by
tho fruit rotting. 1t is now estimated
that tho crop will be one-half of what
it was expected to he. Myer s. Son.
who expected month ago that they
would have from COCO to 5000 baskets
of Elberta peaches, say thor yield viii
not exceed one-half Of that quantity.
William II. Ridgaway says the rot is
general and thinks tho yield in the
vicinity of Dover and Wyoming will
sbe far below the estimate made in
June. A grower who picked 200
baskets of peaches yesterday had only
Go baskets of good peaches in tho lot.
Some people think the warm weather
during April caused the fruit to rot
and others believe the present CON
dition resulted from fungus.

Local wheeiinan.

Local Wheeiinan.
u. Grant Nye, a local wheelman,
while riding his bicycle on the Ken
mott turnpike FRIDAY night with several
companions, was thrown violently to
the ground aud badly injured, the
accident being the result of collision
with young girl who evidently pur-
posely ran in front of him. The child
was also knocked down, but she was
not seriously hurt.
Several children frequently collect in
tho vicinity Of the tollgate on the pike
and amuse themselves by running in
front of teams and bicycles. They
wero engaged in this sport last even
ing, and Mr.. Nye, who was returning
to Wilmington, after having been out
on trip, called TO them TO desist.
Naturally supposing that they would
boed the warning, he continued, but
Just AS he was about to pass the crowd
of children ono Of them stepped i'm
mediately in front of his wheel.
She was struck fairly and knocked
down, but immediately arose. Mr..
Nye was. thrown on mis- head and face
about 10 feet away from where the col
lision occurred. He was knocked sense
less. but his companions rushed to his
assistance and he was soon revived,
and afterwards proceeded to his home
in this city.
Many people have been annoyed by
the pranks of the little girls lately,
and it is feared that if they continue
their foolish play some of them will be
seriously hurt.
