Young Queen Wilhelmina of Holland,
like Queen Victoria, is to ascend the
throne on the completion of her
eighteenth year. This does not occur
until August 81, and her reign is to be
inaugurated on the 9th day of Septem-
ber. A description of the simple Chris
tian faith of the girlish queen, which
shows itself in what she has decided to
make her first act after her triumphal
entry into the Hague, has been written
for the Sunday School Times of August
by the Baroness Brantsen of Arnhem,
Netherlands.

Old Resident Dead.

After an illness of only ten days.
Mrs. Marie Meyer answered the final
summons yesterday morning at her
home, 118 North Second street. Her
death was caused by pleurisy and
was a surprise to her family and
friends, as her condition had not been
considered serious. Deceased was
the relict of Henry Meyer, one of our
pioneer business men who died about
two and one-half years ago. She was
a native of Oldenburg, Germany, and
the date of her birth was January 20,
1929, being therefore in her 10th
year. Mrs. Meyer came to Water
town with her husband in 1855 and
had ever since resided here. She was
known to a large circle of friends as
a woman of true worth, and her death
is sincerely regretted. Two daughters
and three sons are left to mourn the
loss of a kind and indulgent parent.
The funeral is to be held Friday
afternoon at 2 o'clock from the family
home.

Found Her Husband.

A dispatch from Columbus to The
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin of
Monday says: "a couple registered
as j. w. Knight and wife, Chicago,
at one of the hotels here on Friday
afternoon. The man took orders for
rubber stamps during Saturday.
The 2:23 train Sunday morning
brought a woman claiming to be the
legitimate wife of the man Knight
She secured a warrant for the couple
and they were transferred to cells in
the lookup to await examination on
the charge of adultery"
The couple above referred to spent
a portion of last week in Watertown,
registering at west side hotel as man
and wife. On Saturday Mrs. Ida
Knorpp, of Chicago, arrived here and
sought the services of Chief OF Police
Block in a search for her husband, who
she claimed to have reason to suspect
was in this vicinity. The registers
Of the different hotels were examined,
and finally the woman discovered her
alleged husbands handwriting among
the arrivals of the west side hostelry,
an assumed name being used and the
words land wife, following But
the couple under suspicion had flown
to Columbus the previous day, it was
learned, so thither Mrs. Knorpp fol-
lowed her hayward spouse. The good
offices Of the police were again sought
and the writing of Mr. Knight was
once more recognized by the woman
in search of her husband. The arrests
came in due course of time as told in
the above dispatch, and the examina-
ton of the couple on the charge pre-
ferred is to be held on Wednesday
next, they meanwhile being lodged in
jail at Portage

the wine will give the best of satisfac-
ton and that it will be in great de-

An Elegant Train,

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railways new Pioneer Limited" ad-
vertised as the most beautiful train
on any railroad in the world, had its
trial run from Milwaukee to Mime
apOlis yesterday. 1t arrived here at
1880 A. Al. and remained about fifteen
minutes, SO that Waterfowl people
might inspect it. The inspection,
however, was necessarily an exterior
one, as nobody was allowed to enter
the sacred portals of a single car
This arrangement was a sore disap-
pointment to the large crowd gathered
at the depot, for general invitation
had been extended to our citizens to
enter the train and feast their eyes on
its elegance and luxurious appoint
ments. Much chagrin was cOnse-
quently evidenced in the disparaging
comments heard on all sides, and the
railway authorities were blamed for
having gone back on their invitation.
Notwithstanding all this disappoint-
ment, it was with considerable pride
that WatertOWnites noticed that the
drawing-rOOm car was named for our
city, showing that the road is ap-
preciative of the patronage obtained
here. 1.-The Pioneer Limited GER
tainly presented very beautiful ex-
terror appearance, but we must reserve
our opinion of the interior until the
train is running regularly and we are
given an opportunity to travel in it.
