ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Germans Celebrate.

Monday, March %, marked the Tooth
anniversary of the birth of the late
Kaiser Wilhelm l., the pride of the
true German heart. Our patriotic
German citizens had an opportunity to
pay tribute to this event by attending
the entertainment arranged by the
German Old Soldiers society, which
was given in Turner Opera house
Previous to the entertainment there
was a parade through Nam street,
participated in by the Independent
band and the Northwestern university
band and cadets. An immense con
course of people jammed the opera
house and paid close attention to the
exercises. which began with introduc
tory remarks by Mayor Rack. An ad-
dress of some length was given by Prof.
A. f. Ernst, president of the Northwest
ern university, who eulogized the great
emperor and gave detailed account of
his life and accomplishments The
musical features of the program were
excellently rendered and consisted of
two bass solos by Charles Feisst, vio-
lin solo by Arthur Hardege, two male
quartettes given by F. w. lehman,
w. G. Pritzlaff. George Henke and J.
Nickels, piano solo by William j.
Bethke, selections bv the Either club
and by the band. Three beautiful
tableaux, among the finest ever seen
here. lent diversity to the program,
which closed with brief address by
F. Kieckbusch, president of the Old
Soldiers society.

ing to enter the contest for mayor this
spring and use his earnest efforts for
the success of the ticket. The nomina-
ton, however, must come to him with
out any further solicitation. He writes
that be has not been aggressive in the
matter, nor will be be, and after being
urged by several citizens to again
enter the field, only consented to do
so upon the supposition that others
who had been mentioned declined to
consider the proposition. Mr.. Moak,
during his term two years ago, evil
denced the fact in many ways that he
was one of the best mayors Watertow n
ever had, and if nominated his cam
paign would no doubt be made on his
past record. His entire fitness for the
position and his ability are recognized
on all sides.
Another gentleman being favorably
considered by the Republicans as an
available candidate is Alderman S. NJ .
Eaton, the Nestor of tie council. Mr..
Eaton has served seven successive
terms as alderman from the Fourth
ward, and has been elected president
of five consecutive councils in the face
of Democratic majority, which well
attests his general popularity. He
is leading and substantial business
man and has always been a prime
mover in the welfare and improve
ment Of the city. His long association
with city government affairs renders
his fitness for the mayoralty unques
toned, and with him in the executive
chair al excellent admihi:tration would
seem assured.
Mayor Rack, it is stated, has posi-
lively declined TO again be candidate
for the mayoralty, notwithstanding the
fact that be could probably win the
Democratic nomination in a walk.
Unless he reconsiders this decision be-
fore the convention takes place, the
Democrats will have to do some lively
skirmishing to secure a candidate, as
all others thus far mentioned have also
declined the use of their names. On
the streets it has been frequently
rumored that Alderman Alfred Meyer
would endeavor TO secure the nomina
ton, but the gentleman has personally
denied such an intention to the writer.

LIKE HYPNOTISM

Habits That Appear Almost Hypnotic.
The tenacity with which some habits
stick to people, or people stick to the
habits, is very remarkable, particular
lY the tobacco and coffee habit.
People act almost as if they were in
reality under a hypnotic spell. They
promise themselves and friends time
and again that they will leave off, when
they find health fOrsaking them, but
they make one excuse or another and
Keep on the dreary way as if guided by
an nnseen spirit of evil
Physicians realize the uselessness of
treating patient for any of the multi
tude of nervous diseases so long as the
poisonous alkaloids of to obacco and cof-
fee are being taken into the system,
even in minute doses.
1t is sim pie matter to break the cof-
fee habit if the food drink, Postum. the
health coffee made by the Postum
Cereal Co., Lin, of Battle Creek, Mich,
is used in its place. This is a fac smile
OF fine Mocha coffee in looks when
breWed, and changes to the rich golden
brown Of old Java when cream is added
Being made wholly of grains intended
by the Creator for mans subsistence,
1t makes red blood quickly and is fat
tohing ana nOurlSnlng. Inc muddy
complexion disappears and in its place
comes the clear skin of health with rich
blood coursing back oft Many people
are sick and do not know that it is the
insidious poison of coffee that pros
trates stomach and liver and causes it.
They laugh at first, but trial of a week
without coffee and using the food drink
Postum, makes one wake up to a great
big live fact.
The children can sip from papa's or
mammals coffee cup, if it happens to
contain Postum. and their little bodies
will grow round and fat under the
nourishment of the pure grains, but it
is heartless proceeding to feed the
tender bodies on coffee, as everyone
knows the puny, sickly looks of coffee
drinking children.
Let people adopt healthful food and
drink and throw physic to the dogs"

Repairs for Old Engine House
Other Council Matters.
Action was taken at last nights meet
Ing OF the common council which will
no doubt definitely settle the question
of public morgue. Alderman Skinner
offered the following resolution, the
board OF public works failing to make
any report on the resolution passed at
the meeting February Is:
ResoIued, That new roof be put on
the old jail building at cost not to ex-
ceed 500 and that the contract for the
same be let by the committee herein
provided for at not to exceed said
figure; also
ResOtUed, That room be fitted up
IN the southwest corner ofthe city hall
basement, according to specifications
hereto attached, at a cost not to exceed
300, and that the contract for the same
be let by the committee herein prOvid
ed tor at not to exceed said figure and
Resotved, That a committee of three
be appointed bY the mayor to let the
above contracts for said work; and said
committee is hereby authorized to
enter into said cor .racts as above and
have the work done Immediately; and
that said committee superintend said
work and report to this council of Its
doIngs at It's next regular meeting.
The resolution was adopted by vote
of 10 to 2, and the mayor named the
following as the committee: Alder
men Stone, Wertheimer and Kessler.
A remonstrance was presented by
North Montgomery street property
owners against constructing the pro,
posed sewer on that street. 1t was
referred to the sewerage committee.
Several parties presented bills, in all
amounting to $40, for work performed
in removing the water hich flooded
the basement at 200 West Main street
on March s. A question arose AS to
whether the claims should be charged
to the city general fund or the Fourth
ward fund, so the matter was referred
jointly to the judiciary and fire depart
ment committees.
The committee on sewerage reported
favOrably upon the construction of the
sewers recommended by the board of
public works, and also recommended
that the taxpayers affected be allow ed
the option of paying their assessments
in one or three years. The matter was
laid oyer until the next meeting.
The officers elected by the fire de-
partment were confirmed With the ex-
ctption of Assistant Chief Charles
Pieritz who is also a police officer.
The council was of the opinion that the
latter's confirmation would be an in
fringement of the charter. His case
was referred to the fire department
committee.
A petition was presented asking for
the refunding of the city taxes paid on
the Baptist church parsonage. Re-
ferred to the judiciary committee.
Alderman Prendergast introduced
the following. which was adopted:
Resolved, That the chairman of the
finance committee and the health Off
Ger be and they are hereby authorized
to arrange or contract with some hotel
keeper or family to receive, when
called upon, anyone who may become
manned or injured until such persons
friends or the proper county ofRcial
can be notified and further arrange
ments made for care and treatment.

Before he had spoken five minutes
every one in the audience was i'm
pressed with the feeling that an old

were followed by the concerted

From the start to finish he
was every moment irresistible.
