Fest OF the Singers.

The biennial fest and picnic of num-
Der of organizations belonging to the
Northwestern Saengerbund, held here
Sunday under the auspices of the Con-
cordia society, was attended by the
Madison Maennerchor, the Fidelia So
ciety, of the samc city, and the Ocon-
omOwOc MaennerchOr. Excursions
were run from both cities, arriving
here at 1O:30 A. NJ. At the Junction
the visitors were met by the local
society and the Sinnissippi band and
escorted to Concordia Opera house,
where dinner was served. The visit
ing societies were accompanied by
Lucders' band, of Madison, and the
Oconomowoc band. At | 80 the pro-
cession marched to Concordia island,
where the picnic and fest took place.
There was a large attendance and the
afternoon was enjoyed in listening to
the fine band music and the mass
chorus singing of the societies, under
the direction of William Forane, of
Milwaukee. The rain storm. which
began about o'clock, interfered with
carrying out the evening program,
and the .excursionists returned home
at o'clock.

SneciaI Council Meetinp.

Friday evening special meeting of
the common council was held to con-
slider matters of pressing consequence.
The question of providing a storage
place for the steam road roller was
first taken up and it was decided to
suitably repair the OLD engine house
on First street. The matter of re-
pairs, to consist of new timbers and
flooring, firmly supported, was left in
the hands of Mayor Rack and the
board of public works. A shed will
also probably be built on the north
side of the house in which to store the
road scraper and other machinery and
tools.
The engaging of an engineer to run
the road roller was matter also dis
cussed. David Emerson, engineer of
the Silsby steamer, was summoned be-
fore the meeting and offered the posi-
ton, but he declined to give definite
answer, SO the matter was left to the
committee on fire department, who
have since succeeded in engaging Mr..
Emerson for the present season.

OBITUARY..

Record is made this week of the de-
mise of Mrs. Minna Field, reict of DR..
Carl Field, one of Watertown's phone er
physicians, which occurred at her
home, 200 North Second street, Satur-
day night at II o'clock, in the 77th
year of her age. Her final illness was
of only few days duration, but her
health had been failing for some time
past. Deceased was a native of
Hessia, Germany, where she was born
May 81, 1921. In the sos she emf
grated to this country, settling in
Chicago, where she was married in
1855, after which she came to this
city with her husband, who began the
practice of his profession. The la tier
died some ten years ago and Mrs.
Field is survived solely by her son,
DR.. Carl r. Field. A woman of high
character and kindly, charitable ways,
the deceased was generally respected
and beloved in the community, where
she enjoyed the friendship of an ex-
tensive acquaintance. The funeral
was held from the family home yester-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock and the
body laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery.
A former Watertown boy, Frederick
Hermann, Jr., died Saturday last at
his home in Plattsmouth, Neb., aged
Al years. His disease was diabetes.
Monday afternoon the remains arrived
here at $3.50 and the interment took
place in Oak Hill cemetery, Otto
Linde, of Milwaukee, delivering a
funeral address and the Concordia So
ciety rendering several selections.
The deceased was the second son of
our late resident, Frederick Hermann,
Sr., and was well known here. He
left Watertown for the West in 1873,
locating at Plattsmouth, where he en-
gagged in the dry goods business. At
the time of his death he was an offic-
ial of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railway. Mr.. Hermann is
survived by his wife, formerly Miss
Amanda jacob, of this city, to whom
he was married in 1880, and one
daughter, Clara, aged Is years. His
many Watertown friends heard of his
death with sincere regret.
Mrs. Carl Busch died yesterday af-
ternoon at her home, 128 West Spald-
ing street, aged about 40 years. For
eight days previous she had suffered
intensely from gangrene of the right
leg, and as a last means Of relief an
operation to remove the affected mem
Der was performed, but her condition
was too weak to withstand it, death
resulting from heart failure. Her
husband and five children survive.
: Mrs. Ruel Knowlton, of Waterloo,
sister of our residents, Mrs j. Zuelke
and Edward King, died Saturday
morning, aged "a years. The funeral
occurred Monday. Mr.. Know lton and
one child survive

Goes to Ashland.

The GAINESVILLE Gazette says of a
former Watertown boy:
"H. G. Willitz, the form .er manager
of the local telephone exchange, will
leave this week for Ashland, where
he will have charge of the lines in that
city as well as in the adjoining towns.
Orders came last evening from Mil
waukee, making the change, so Man
ager Slater will remain here.
ell health has prevented Mr.. Willitz
from accepting charge of the Milwau-
kee exchange, and on the advice of
his physician he will go to Ashland in
place of the Cream City. The Ash
land Office is considered one of the best
paying exchanges in the state, on ac-
count of its taking in SO vast terri
tory. The numerous friends of Mr..
Willitz will extend hearty congratula-
tions on his appointment to the posi-
tion, and trust that the change will
be of benefit.

ROAD ROLLER is HERE.
Begins Work on the West Side-Bette1
Streets. at Length in Sight.


Streets at Length in Sight.
The Kelly steam road roller arrived
from Springfield, o., Monday, over the
N Northwestern road, and yesterday it
was set to work on some of the west
side streets. An expert accompanied
it and he will operate it this week.
The machine is called the Spring
field, and it is ponderOus and formid-
able looking. Three large wheels,
one forward and two in the rear, are
what do the rolling. North Water
street, between West Main and O'Con-
nell, was first tackled, and large
crowds watched the work of the ma
chine intently. The method employed
was this: The mud and 1T was first
removed by the road scraper; then
spikes were placed in the rear wheels
of the roller and the road-bed thor
oughly loosened; the street was next
dragged as even as possible aud the
stone brought TO the surface; then the
roller was set to work again and the
street rolled to a hard crust OF
course, this does not afford a perma-
nent Improvement such as macadam-
izing or paving, but it nevertheless
makes better streets than we are in
the habit of seeing here. The work
should be continued as far as practic-
able this summer, and we think with
the use of a few loads of crushed gran
lte the business section can be placed
In pretty good condition.

The Best Family Cathartic

For general home medicine, Hoods
Pills are unequalled. They were pre-
pared for family use and they have
been found entirely satisfactory where
ever they have been used. Their sale
has gradually extended until to-day
the demand for them leads the trade
to look upon Hoods Pills as the ''com-
ing pill" They relieve and cure so
many troubles that they are really a
whole medicine chest. They are mild
and yet efficient.

TO PREVENT RAINS.
Interesting Experiment. of am
Austin Grape-GroWer.

Washington, May 3.-Possibly it

attempts made, says the N. 0.
States, by the won ld-be rainmakers

duced to exactly reverse the Ameri-

experiment is given by United States
Consul Stephan at Annaherg to the
State Department.
The Austrian owned extensive
vineyards situated on the slopes of
The mountains in locality often Wis
tied by destructive hail storms. At
first he tried galvanized wire netting
bot this was too expensive and he
decided to install battery ard test

drive off the hail storms. He erect.

about two miles in extent. Each
station sheltered ten mortarS and a
corps of volunteers handled them.
The practical test is thus describ-
ed:
Threatening black clouds made
their appearance on the SUBMITS of
the Bacher mountains. Al a given
signal all the mortars were fred of

few moments cansed a sudden re-ac-

rings, expending gradually until all
the clouds scattered and entirely
disappeared. No hail nor even a
