COMMON COUNCILS WORK.
Business Transacted Last Night-Pav-
ing Matter-SO1diers' Monu-
ment Donated.

OhI OoholSus
At last evenings meeting of the
common council, steps were taken
and measures enacted looking to the
paving with brick of all those portions
OF Main street and West Main street
lying between College avenue and
Montgomery street. The intention
of the measures is to put everything
in order this fall so that the paving
can be done early in the spring. All
water service pipes, lateral sewers,
gas mains, ETC., are to be laid at once
and the ground given a chance to
settle over winter. IT is thought that
with the enlarged area for paving thus
provided, advantageous proposals for
the work may be received.
The following petition was read:
To the honorable Common Council of the
city of WatertoaOn, Wisconsin:
l hereby respectfully request per
mission to erect in such place in the
city park in the First ward of this
city as you may select, a monument
30 the memory of the deceased soldiers
of this city in the late Civil war, 1861
1865; the size of the same to be not
less than twelve feet six inches on the
ground, and not less than fifty feet
in height, of Barre granite; to be
erected by myself without cost to the
city, on or before the 3Oth day of May,
1899. Dated at Watertown, Wiscon-
sin, this 4th day of October, 1898.
r. E. LEWIS.
A resolution providing for the grant
ing of the request was unanimously
passed, and a suitable communication
thanking Mr.. Lewis for his liberality
and public spirit was ordered en-
crossed.
The board of public works was in
Structed to secure and submit plans
for sewer in West Main street from
the bridge to Water street.
The health commissioner was in
structed to make detailed report as
to the sanitary condition of the alley
and It's environments located in block

The report of the sewerage COM
mlttee, recommending that the peti-
ton Of John Schmidt praying for the
privilege of building a private drain
from his residence on Western avenue
to the First street sewer be granted,
was adopted
The committee on streets aud bridges,

that, SO far as the committee could be
informed, the claim for forty-two days.
labor could not be substantiated, and
also that in their opinion, inasmuch as
the claimant was already drawing a
salary as ,ianitor of the city hall, he
could not draw an additional one. A
motion to adopt the report was amend
ed to refer the matter to the board of
public works, acd it was so referred.
The sum of $246 was ordered drawn
from the city general fund to pay the
bill OF Thomas j. O'Brien for twelve

Are Artists, All.

ga magnificent and unqualified sue
cess, was the opinion, freely given,
after the entertainment of the Slavton
Grand Concert company Monday even
ing. And those who heard it and thus
expressed themselves were expert wit
nesses, we should judge. Turner
Opera house contained an audience
that evening such as Watertown sell
dom furnishes. 1t was large, select
and pronouncedly enthusiastic, the
musical devOtees for which our city
is duly noted, being present in force.
Not only was the occasion an achieve
ment of the highest order by the ar
lists, but it was a grand credit to
Watertown and it's people, showing
that worthy projects will be Hberally
supported. Rev. Fl. S. Foster, who is
responsible for this rich treat, as we'll
as for the other four attractions prom
ised in the entertainment course, is to
be congratulated over the success that
has attended his tireless efforts
Cities of this size do not often have
an opportunity of listening to coterie
Of such notable artists as compose the
Slayton company. Mr.. Bendix, Mr..
Steindel, Mr.. Schuecker, Mrs. Griffin
and Mrs. Steindel are all stars of the
first magnitude, and it is a difficult
matter to decide which ones work was
the most pleasing. The three gentle
men were known quantities and their
splendid achievements Monday even
ing added laurels to their reputation.
Mr.. Bendix exhibits true art on the
violin and plays with such exquisite
technique and feeling that many critics
place him at the very top Of his pro-.
fession. His ability and his personal
appearance make him infatuatinp to
an audience.
AS 'celloist Bruno Steindel cer-
tainly has no superior and few equals.
His wonderful mastery of this difficult
instrument always commands tremen-
dous enthusiasm, and it is very evil
dent that not only is his heart in his
work, but he appreciates the spirit
aroused in his hearers. He is as pop
ular and capable musician as appears
before the public to-day.
Edmond Schuecker, the harpist,
fully sustained his artistic reputation
and shared in the honors. His selec-
tions were beautifully rendered.
The gratifying work of the soprano,
Minnie Fish-Griffin, was the surprise
of the evening. She evinced high cul-
tlvation and q versatility that made
her at once favorite. In the grand
finale, GOunOd's cave Maria" she dis
played fine sustaining power that
materially aided in making this num-
Der triumph.
Seldom do we hear better accom-
panist than Mrs. Steindel. She came
almost unheralded, but her work
stamped her as not the least attraction
OF the company. Some of her assign
ments were extremely difficult and
taxing, but she played with uniform
good taste and a delicacy of touch
generally admired.
The splendid spirit of the artists and
their willingness to contribute their
share to pleasurable evening were to
be commeded, while the artistic sue
cess of the concert was largely en-
hanced by the use of the fine Shaw
piano loaned for the occasion by S. B. !
Fuller.

John II. Harris.

The Elkhorn Independent-his
home paper-pays the following trib-
ute to John Ii. Harris, Republican
candidate for state senator in this
district:
"For the first time in many years,
as we recollect, back to the days of
Wyman Spooner, the next state sena-
tor from this district will be resi-
dent of Elkhorn. And he is a man
that all Ellzhornites are proud to have,
as a fellow-citizen.
"John FL. Harris is in the prime Of
strong manhood. He is about AZ years
of age. A man of strong body, of
competent mental powers, of excellent
judgment, a man who creates a
favorable impression with all whom
he meets, he will have great influence
in the senate. He is frank, outspoken
and honest. His 'yes'' means some
thing as well as his ''no." He will
stick to his promise in every way,
and be one of the ablest and best sena-
tors this district has ever had.
"Mr. Harris came to Wisconsin
about twenty years ago. His capital
was in his arms, his willingness to
work, in his knowledge of cheese
making which he had learned of his
father, an expert, before coming west.
He obtained situation, took off his
coat, rolled up his sleeves, and went
to work. Our first knowledge of
young Harris was at Clinton, nearly
a score of years ago, where he had
charge of the cheese factory.
''By economy and energy, he soon
saved few hundred dollars and
commenced business for himself,
Owing to his splendid business quail
fications he has succeeded and to-day
is president of the Wisconsin Butter
and Cheese company, one of the larg-
est exclusive dairy companies in the
state.
''The patrons of his factories believe
in him. trust him, and their confidence
is never misplaced. In domestic and
social affairs he ranks as one of the
best Of men, and all acquaintances are
his friends.
"The Republicans of the Twenty
third Senatorial district may we'll be
proud of their candidate, and give
him what he deserves, a rou sing
majority at the polls"

City, July 29. He brings with him
many specimens of the golden metal
of that region, and says that the pros
poets are favorable for those who are
willing to endure and persevere. Re-
ports say that he has been quite sue
cessful in his ventures in that region.
He has several claims there, but he

Special Meeting.

A special meeting of the common
council was held last Wednesday even
ing. The report of the committee on
streets and bridges as to the construc-
tion Of the new catch basins alone
Main street, and the accompanying
invoice of Thomas j. O'Brien, also the
bill for drayage, were returned by the
mayor without his approval At the
preceding meeting the council voted
to allow the bills against the First and
Second ward funds, according to the
committees recommendation. Sec
ton lo9 of the city charter provides,
among other things, that the costs .sof
all catch-basins for receiving the
water from the cutters, and of the
overflow pipes connecting them with
the sewers" shall be 'spaid out of the
fund OF the proper sewerage district. :"
In accordance with this provision, a
vetoe on the councils action was
necessary. It would seem that if the
aldermen would study the charter a
little more closely, considerable il
legal legislation could be avoided.
The following resolution was passed,
the purpose of the same being to place
all sidewalks and crosswalks on that
portion OF the street referred to IN
line with one another:
Resolved, By the common council
OF the city of Watertown, that all side
walks hereafter laid on that part of
West Main street which extends from
Church street westerly to the west
line OF the right-of-way of the Chi
cago q Northwestern Railway COM
pany, shall be laid three feet from the
boundary line of abutting lots thereon,
and that said 3ortion of said West
Main street is hereby excepted from
the operation of any resolution incon-
sistent here with.
