Ought to Be Here, Too.

The freeman thus makes mention
of very desirable improvement in
Waukesha that would without doubt
be appreciated here, too: "On Mon
day morning bright and early a large
force of men began the work of Law
ing paving brick on Main street and
it was pleasant sight evidently to
hundreds who tarried in the vicinitv.
Two blocks are practically completed
and before the middle of the month
it is presumed the brick will be down
and travel resumed over the route
from Clinton street to the court house
hill. And by July l a very large
part OF the remainder of the Main
street contract will have been COM
pleted. Thus, after years of com
plants and worry, inconvenience and
filth, the thoroughfare is redeemed,
and is something to be proud of.
The good work should be pushed right
along and there should be no street in
Waukesha, five years hence, that is
not properly and practically made
over from the old order of things"

To the Singers of Watertown.

An effort is being made by the
Woman's Relief corps Of this city to ar
range a war song concert in the near
future the proceeds of which are to be
used as a fund for the care of the sick
and wounded in the present war, and
also to provide a means to aid the
families of those who may be in needy
circumstances. In order to make this
concert a success it will be necessary
to have the hearty cooperation Of
every singer in the city, and an invita-
tiOn is hereby extended to all singers
and members Of choruses and church
choirs to join the grand chorus which
it is proposed to organize for the
occasion. Let every one aid this
worthy cause. Let US acknowledge
in this way that Watertown has not
forgotten the soldier boys, and that
we do not propose being behind other
cities of the state, in which var song
concerts have been given and even
repeated with great success and en-
thusiasm.
A meeting will be held at Turner
Opera house at 8:15 sharp, Friday
evening of this week, to organize a
chorus, and it is to be hoped that
every singer in the city will be present.
The COMMITTEE.

Baseball

The game at Washington park Sun
day afternoon between the Crescents
and the Waterloos afforded consider
able excitement to the large number
OF fans" IN attendance. There was
enough batting on both sides to make
the game lively and interesting, while
some of the fielding features were on
the sensational order. The Waterloos
started out with the evident intention
OF winning by scoring four runs in
the first inning, but the home bows
went them two runs better and man
aged to keep in the lead thereafter
until the eighth inning, when Waterloo
forged to the front with three runs.
The Crescents, however, came to bat
in the last half of the eighth with
''blood in their eye'' and again retail
ated, a fierce bombardment of Harger
netting six scOres-a safe margin on
the game. Berndt, the Crescent
pitcher, was not in his best form and
was compelled to retire from the box
in the eighth in favor of Kronitz, who
showed his skill as a twirler and saved
the day for his team Noteworthy
features of the game were Oestreich-
ers general playing, Harger's hard
hitting, the work of Schulz behind the
bat and the fielding of May at short
stop for the home team. "Jumbo''
Keel umpired the game and it was
quite natural to see the old Watertown
favorite again on the diamond. Fol-
lowing is the score by innings:
Waterloo. .........4 0 o 2 0 3 0-1O
Watertown 6 2 1 0 0 6 *-15
The Crescents will play the Sacred
Hearts at Washington park next Sun
day. This will be the third and de-
Gliding game of the series.

Sewer and SprinkIing Bids

The time of receiving proposals for
the construction of sewers ordered
built this year, and for doing the
street sprinkling this season, expired
at o'clock Saturday afternoon, when
the board of public works opened the
bids that had been offered. For the
sewer construction there was but one
proposal-that of William Gorder at
42 cents per lineal foot for eight-inch
pipe, as specified in the plans. The
approximate length of the different
sewers to be built is 2,786 feet. Mr.
GOrder was awarded the contract by
the board and the common council
last evening approved of the action,
The following proposals on street
sprinkling were received: Joseph
Jantzen, for the three districts out
lined by ordinance, 1927 per month !;
T. j. Euper, for the three. districts,
$500 per month; Phoenix Fire COM
pany, for District No 3, $125 per
month The sprinkling ordinance
requires that all bids must be made on
the entire work; consequently the
proposal of the Phoenix company
could not be considered. Action on
the bids was taken at last nights
meeting of the council and the dis
position of the matter will be found
by reference to the council proceed
ings.

A SAD FATALITY
feter Mcfarland Killed lin Runaway
Thrown from His Wagon and
Crushed Beneath Heavy
Load-Other Accidents

An accident that proved fatal oc-
Cured itridaymorning about 10 o'clock
on the farm of Peter Mcfarland. who
resided two miles west of here, in the
town Of Emmett. At the hour men
toned Mr.. Mcfarland was about to
start for this city to deliver a load of
hogs. just as he was mounting the
wagon, and before he could grasp the
relns, the team became frightened
and ran away, tipping over the wagon
and throwing Mr. Farland to the
ground. He struck on his head with
great force and then was crushed
under the heavy load, which passed
over his chest and fractured his ribs
in terrible manner. The unfortunate
man, in an insensible condition, was
carried into the house by members of
his family and medical aid was at once
summoned from the city. But moth
ing could be done of any service to
the dying man, who never regained
consciousness and breathed his last
two hours later. The accident was a
great shock to those who witnessed it
and was heard of with universal re-
gret here, where the victim possessed
a large acquaintance.
Mr. Mcfarland was born in Clinton
county, n. Y, in 1913, being therefore
% years of age. His widow, nee Mary
Mallaney, of this city, survives him,
together with two daughters and four
sons. He came to the farm where he
died in 1852 with his parents and had
ever since made his home there. Mr..
Mcfarland was numbered among our
best known farmers and always lived
a life of probity and industry, which
induced feeling of respect and con-
fidence for him throughout the com
munity. His funeral, held Monday
morning from ST. Bernards church.

Philadelphia, Jan. 2t.--The unromau-

turned to favor and to prettiness yes
terday when the Japane,e cruiser

bath in the muddy Delaware six doves
fiuttered from a basket at the bow, and
circlng about the fast receding hull
scattered flowers on her deck and on
the nondescript structure of timber and

1t was a pretty piece Of mechanism

the chief actor of the allegory should
be a charming American Eirl-Miss
Helen Long, daughter of the secretary
of the navy.
The dove idea is a relic of the feudal
ages of Japan. 1t combines supersti-
