Mrs. j, n. Hirsch.

Sarah, wife of Jonas H. Hirsch, briet
mention of whose death was made in
last weeks issue, was lady beloved
and esteemed by large number of ac-
quaintances in this city, which had
been her home since she was 10 years
of age. She possessed true womanly
worth to marked degree, and her
traits of character and accomplish
ments were such that made her a most
desirable and useful member of socie
ty. Her death is sincerely regretted
in the community. and her family and
other relatives have gen eral sympathy
in their bereavement.
Mrs. Hirach was a daughter Of our
townsman, Herman Bellack. She was
bornin Mil Waukee and had reached
her 18th year. For some time past she
had been in poor health and few
days previous to her death went to
Milwaukee for treatment, being af
aicted with kidney troubles. She died
at the home of her sister, Mrs. E. B.
Winterhalter, on Tuesday, January 26.
Her funeral was held from the latter s
residence, 695 Holton street, Friday
and her body was cremated in the
Forest Home crematory. Besides her
husband, Mrs. Hirsch is survived by q
son, Arthur, and daughter, Arabel'e

COULDN'T DRINK COFFEE.
Wouldn't Be Put Off With Chocolate o
Tea

"And you might bring me a cup Of
weak coffee, too" a busy man said to
restaurant waiter when giving an
order.
what makes you call for weak cof-
fee, Sam?" a friend remarked.
80, | have no business to drink cof-
fee anyhow, but [ don't care for choc-
olate or tea. and do like coffee,
although it raises the old Harry with
my nerves and stomach"
Many a man fails in business because
of his physical inability to attend to it
properly. When man wakes up and
looks squarely at himself and his af
fairs he will break off those habits that
weaken his body and prevent him
from pushing his plans to successful
issue.
Tobacco and coffee seem so harmless
that man feels they cannot hurt hisN
seriously, and for that reason sticks to
them day after day until his nerves
give out and long period of nervous
prostratiOn sets in While a man is
sick his business goes to-well, expert
ence shows that it don't go right, and
| that sick spell is wonderfully ex-
pensive investment.
Quit the poisonous habits, and
nature will slowly rebuild the broken
system without the use of medicines.
1t is not so hard to give over coffee

like the finest Mocha coffee, and

Early Morning Suicide,

John Scharay, an unmarried man
about 80 years of age, committed suicide
last Thursday morning in the round
house Of the Chicago & Northwestern
railway located in the Fifth ward. The
evening previous Scharay applied for
shelter in the roundhouse for the
night and his request was granted by
the night engine tender, Jacob Rine-
hardt. While the latter was outside
looking after the switch lights at about
6 A. NJ the rash act vas committed.
Rinehart, on his return, finding the
man stretched on the ground with an
ugly bullet wound in his right temple
and SO calibre revolver, with one
chamber empty, close by his side. The
Dodge county authorities were notified
and Sheriff Labuwi arrived at 1890 and
took charge of the remains At d
coroner's inquest subsequently held by
Justice Graunke verdict of suicide
during temporary insanity was re.
turned. The remains were taken to
Juneau and inferred on the county
farm.
The suicide was an odd charactei
who had made his home hereabouts
for year past. Of late he had lived
with John Watzek, of the Fifth ward
He found employment at different
times as a farm hand and a few days
previous to his death had hired out te
Robert Irving to work on the latter,
farm in Clyman. Scharay had no neal
relatives in this vicinity.

THE SALARIES FIXED.
Paw of City Officials the Ensuing Year,
Other Matters Before the Council.

Other Matters Before the Council.
The salaries of the city officials for
the year beginning May l, 1897, were
fixed by ordinance at last nights
meeting of the common council. There
! was no material change made from
those now being paid, except in the
case of the city engineer, which was
reduced just one-half. AS the ordi-
nance was finally constituted the fol-
lowing amounts were agreed upon:
. Treasurer, $500; clerk. $500; attorney,
$500; engineer, 5000; chief of police,
$500; street commissioner, $500; COM
missioner of public health, 800; engi-
neer Phoenix engine. $500; janltor city
hall. $500; policemen, $420 each.
Conside derable discussion arose over
some of the salaries An effort was
made to reduce that of treasurer
to $500, but the proposition had but
three supporters--Alde1m men Needham,
Schmidt and Wertheimer. Aldermen
Meyer was in favor of reform in the
Office of assessor, advocating either the
payment of salary sufficient to induce
the most competent talent to seek the
Office, or the engagement of two as
SCISSORS. The present arrangement Of
one assessor at 5000 stood, however.
The same alderman favored the city
engineers salary being established at
the present sum, $400, but twelve
members voted to make it 5000, the
idea being that this sum would be SO
small that no one would seek tie posi-
ton and thus the new council would
be at liberty to engage engineers by
the dav and pay them for actual SER
vice. Alderman Meyer also wanted
the salary of the chief-of-police in
creased to 500. but there was no one
with him in this plan.
The ordinance providing for the
vacation of that portion of Montgomery
street lying between Milford and West
streets was read the third time and
passed by an unanimous vote.
The ordinance relating to the amend
ing of the city charter whereby the
chief of police is granted constable
powers in Jefferson and Dodge coun-
ties and justices of the peace in this
city are given civil jurisdiction in the
same counties. received its third read
ing and was passed.
"A resolution providing that an order
be drawn on the city treasury, in favor
of the Merchants bank for 50, 700, be-
ing in payment of one-half years hy-
drant rental, was passed.
The following resolution was pre-
sented by Alderman Skinner and
adopted:
WHEREAS, The powers of the chief
of-police have been extended beyond
the city limits; and
WHEREAS, The chief-of- police is an
employe and officer of the city of
Watertown; therefore,
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
common council that the chief-o of police
and his deputies conhne themselves
to the care of the city and devote their
entire time to the city's service.
On motion Of Alderman Schmidt the
plans for city morgue were referred
to the board of public works and the
committee on public buildings, with
instructions to report on the advisable
ity Of constructing the same and its
cost

Stabbing Near Lake Mills

Sunday an employe named Behm on
the farm of George Everson, near Lake
Mills, made an attack with a knife upon
Frank Crump, giving him several cuts
in the hands and wrist and one over

had not the knife struck a rib and
glanced off. Mr.. Everson saved Mr..
Crump from further injury by knock
ing the assallant senseless with the

AN UNNATURAL ALLIANCE
The Chinese Bridegroom and His White
Girl Wife
Rendered Uncomfortable by Public In-
dignation-Have Returned Here


Charlie Guey, the Chinese cook, re-
turned to his pots and kettles yeste--
day but he die not come alone. Mrs.
Charlie Guey, Miss Rachel Beaver that
was, came with him. Some time ago the
Mongolian, who strives to Americanize
his appearance by wearing wig and
American clothes. fellin love with Rach-
Ell Beaver. The Atwaters came from the
north over year ago and were attended
with misfortune. In order to live, they
made round of the hotels in search of
scraps of food. 1t was while Mrs. At
water and Rachel Beaver, her 14-year-
old daughter by former husband, were
at the Hotel Lincoln on such a mission
that Charlie Guey met the girl. The At
waters lived in tent on Boyle Heights,
and every night after work the Mongoli-
an would call on his sweetheart. Final
ly he made a proposal of marriage and
offered Mrs. Atwater a monetary con-
sideration.
He agreed to give s55 toward sending
Atwater and some of the eight children
east and SIS per month until $95 had been
paid
The offer was accepted, the Atwaters
and the children went back to their ma
tive state and Mrs. Atwater. Rachel and
another daughter remained here.
Then Charlie wanted to get married
and he applied for a license but was re-
fused. He was wise and had read the
newspapers, so he decided to have the
ceremony performed at sea Thursday
morning the Mongolian Jld his pros
pective BRIDE accompanied by Mrs. At
water and another daughter, went to
San Pedro.
There they got Captain Olsen to take
them to sea in steam launch and marry
them When the facts became known
in the seaport town there was consider
able Indignation and Captain Olsen was
severely censured.
AS the Mongolian and his wife have
not sent out any 'at home" cards their
future residence is not known.

faithfully, heating water for him to

passes his lips, placing hot water bags

This opinion is shared by Mr.. Smith,

Gardner have had a morsel during the
past two weeks, as he has not left
the house and nothing has been taken
to him. An interview with the faster
was requested, and the reporter was es-
corted to room 35, where rap on the
door brought out Mrs Fiendel First
satisfying herself that 1t was not
newspaper man that desired to see
Gardner. she announced that he would
see his visitor.
Entering the room, Gardner was FOUND
lying on couch drawn up before the
fire, Bible in his thin hands, which he
laid down and slowly turned his mead
toward the newcomer. broad, hlgn
10reneaQ, from WHlcn the louS, Ueii ~
hair was pushed straight back, overhung
deep-sunk ue-ringed eyes, the eyes of
an enthusiast. A short, black mustache
partially concealed the firm lips, and
close se-clipped BurnSides accentuated the
ghastly hollows in the cheeks. To inter-
rogatories, Gardner replied in lew
words, evdencing a manifest reluctance.
How long his fast would continue ne
did not know; he had thought forty days
h,,f irot 70
tinue until he was told that his self-de-
nial was sufficient. His motive he de-
clined to give, but when pressed finally
admitted it was religious. He desiredno
assistance Of any kind and had come to
this city for the sole purpose of carrying
out his fast-when it is completed he
will go away. OF his antecedents he
would reveal nothing. Asked whether
he did not feel a desire for food, he ad-
mitted that he did, but did not suffer.
To show how strong he was he raised
to sitting posture, then to his feet ana
slowly stepped across the room to where
he sat down. The will was predominant
but the flesh was evidently weak, for
every moment or two his head would
fall to one side only to be Strengthened
up and the lips set with firm determinn-

| disinclination t6 talk the reporter ven
| tured but one further question, and
| asked what he had lost in flesh during
! his fast He replied that he had
weighed 129 pounds, and if so must at
! present weigh not more than S5. His
I body is greatly emaciated, but the iron

fifth said that he would be one to contrib
ute 800 to fund for putting men to
work on the streets, and IL sufficient
amount could be raised there would be
an end of the trouble.
Councilman Mathuss suggested that
the committee was too unwieldy and
suggested that a committee of two of the
two bodies represented and three of the
council be appointed to consider the
subject and formulate some plan of ac-
ton. This suggestion was adopted, and
Messrs. Waters and Slauson from the
chamber Of commerce, Griffith and E,1i-
bel from the Merchants and Manufac-
turersf association, and Councilmen Ma
thuss, Nickel and Grider were appoint
ed as such committee, 1t being under
stood that the committee would meet at
o'clock for further deliberation.
THE COMMITTEE MEETING.
At o'clock the committee met in the
office of President Silver of the council
at the city hall. The session was pri-
vate, no reporters being admitted The
committee was in session about an hour,
but so far as learned no plan was agreed
upon. 4seter the meeting several of the
members were seen and they saiGi that
no definite plan had been decided upon.
II Is believed, however, that some plan
will be presented to the council Monday
presumably to put at least portion Of
the unemployed to work on the streets.
AT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
A special meeting of the directors Of
the chamber of commerce was held yes
terday afternoon at 2:30, at which ma
jority of the members of the board were
present to consider the report of the
committee appointed in the matter of the
unemployed.
The committee reported that it had had
several conferences with the council and
had found that considerable sum of
money was now being used on street
cleaning and improvement, and that the
prevailing rate of 81 per day aC-nitted
of employing only few men, and the
suggestion had been offered that, in Or
der to temporarily increase the number
of employees, the rate Of wages be
considerably decreased and that fund
be raised by subscription in whatever
amount might prove necessary to put
to work upon the streets at mere living
rate of wages as many as possible of the
unemployed.
The committee also advised that a rock
pile be started for those who were-un-
willing to work, in order that the tramps
be gotten out of the city.
The committee further stated that the
matter was still under consideration
with a committee from the council and
that a final conclusion would probably
be reached today.
Another special meeting of the board
was called for this morning at 1880.
The board then on motion adjourned.
