The Launch.

The Launch.
All Is finished! and at length
Has come the bridal day
OF beauty and OF strength.
Today the vessel shall be launched
With aeecy clouds the sky is blanched
And Ger fine bay.
Slowly, in all his splendors digit
The great sun rises to behold the sight.
The ocean old.
Centuries old,
Strong as youth, and as uncontrolled,
PAGES restless to and fro,
Up and down the sands of gold.
His beating heart is not at rest;
And far and wide,
With ceaseless flow,
His beard OF snow
Heaves with the heaving OF his breast.
He waits impatient for his bride.
There she stands.
With her foot upon the sands,
Decked with flags and streamers gay
In honor Of her marriage day.
Her snow-white signals Huttering, blending,
Round her like veil descending,
Ready tc be
The bride Of the gray old sea.

Tbe No,e and the Eyes.


Between Nose and Eyes strange contest arose;
The spectaclcs set them. unhappily, wrong;
The point in dispute was. all the world knows,
To whom the said spertscles ought to belong.
So Tongue was the lawyer, and argued the cause,
With great deal of skill. and wig full o!
learning.
While cIie baron Ear sat to balance the laws
So famed for his talent in nicely discerning.
In behalf OF the Nose. it will quickly appear
And your lordship.' he said, will undoubt-

That the Nose has the spectaclcs always to wear,
Which amounts to possession. time out oi

Then, holding the spectacles up to the court.
Your lordship observes, tney are made with 8

As wide as the ridge of the Nose is; in short,

"on the whole, it appears. and my argument

With reasoning the court will never condemn,
mat the spectacies' piainiy' were niaue LOT tne
Nose.
And the Nose was, plainly, intended for
them"
Then shifting his side (as lawyer knows how.
He pleaded again in behalf OF the Eyes;
But what were his arguments, few people know.
For the court did not think them equally wise
So his iordshp decreed, with q grave, solemn

Pavement Completed.

Last Wednesday afternoon marked
the completion of Watertown's first
job of street paving. the final brick
being laid n West Main street just
before 3 o'clock. 1t was a gilded brick
that was used to ill the last gap, and
after it was in place an impromptu
celebration on a small scale was had.
An interested crowd of spectators was
assembled and ex-Mayor Fred Kusel
gave an appropriate address, after
which there was music and general
rejoicing.
The pavement, extending on Main
and West Main streets from College
avenue to Montgomery street, is of
Galesburg vitrified brick on six-inch
concrete bed. The sides are bound
with stone curbing and the pavement
is so constructed as to afford perfect
drainage. The entire job appears to
be very creditable one and the con-
tractor, Louis Schoenlaub, has every
reason to feel proud of the work.
There is no doubt that the thorough
fare, as row completed. is one of the
most substantial roadbeds ever built
in the state

and b. Hauser petitioned the county
court to release them from the bond.
Judge Bachhuber was on the bench
at that time and denied She petition,
as be could find no authority in the

lowing sureties: Solomon Rudolf, j

DOINGS OF THE COUNCIL.
"A Rather Dull SessiOn-Tilt Between
Aldermen Kruger and Mayer Pro
vokes a Little Amusement

Ses sions of the common council
these days are rather uninteresting
compared with what they formerly
were. At the regular meeting last
Tuesday evening slight stir was
caused by Aldermen Kruger and
Mayer, the Fifth ward repres, ntatives,
getting into heated argument over
the allowance of bill against the
ward fund for money advanced by Mr..
Mayer to purchase shade trees. Mr..
Kruger claimed he could find out
nothing concerning the bill and rec
ommeuded that it be referred to the
board of public works. 1t was evident
from his remarks that harmony does
not exist between him and his col
league. Mayer said that Krueger had
the bill for month and thought that
was sufficiently long in which to in
vestlgate. The other aldermen evil
IDENTIFY were of the opinion that Mayer
was entitled to his money, for they
voted to indefinitely postpone the
Krueger report and to allow the bill.
The mayor informed the council of
the resignation of Dura NJ Woodland
as alderman of the Fourth ward and
announced the appointment of Thomas
Brooks to fill the vacancy. The coun-
Gil confirmed the appointment.
upon the recommendation of the
board of public works and the sewer
age committee, to whom the matter
had been referred, the petition of the
American Mailing company and others
for the construction of manholes in
the Ninth street sewer was not granted.
1t was voted to change the dimen-
sions of sidewalk stringers on West
Main street from exc inches to Ana
inches.
The city clerk was instructed to
draw an order against the city general
fund for $1,6S5.82 in favor of G. A.
Knapp, of Fond du Lac, to apply on
paving contract of Louis Schoenlaub.
A resolution was passed providing
for the transfer of $1,000 from the
hydrant fund to the city general fund,
same to be returned hereafter
A resolution presented by Alderman
Kruger authorizing the purchase of
crushed stone for Rock street was re-
ferred to the board of public works.

and the Watertown Electric Light
company we're instructed to move

late IN the season, so the matter was
deferred until spring

NEW FACTORY PROJECT.
A Chance to Secure a Canning Factory
for Watertown.


During the past week our city re-
ceived proposition for the institution
of new industry here and the matter
is now being investigated. j. A. Young,
representing the Oshkosh Canning
company, was in town Thursday and
in the evening appeared before large
ly attended meeting of the Business
Mems association to submit propo-
sition of his company for the location
of branch factory here. The Osh-
kosh concern is looking up locations
for several of these branches. This
course is necessary to be pursued SO
as to save the cost of transporting the
raw material. Sections favorable to
the growing of the required vegetables
are sought, and in such sections the
establishment of canning factories has
proved a successful venture and a
source of profit to the owners of gar
den truck farms. Mr.. Young offered
to start a factory here provided stock
to the amount of $4,000 was sub
scribed. This would be two-thirds of
the necessary amount, his company to
furnish the other third of the capital
The proposition was discussed at
length by Mr.. Young and the mem
bers of the Business Mems association,
after which a committee composed of
FL. Mulberger, M. F. Blumenfeld, II.
G. CRUDE. L. Schempf and Chris. Beck
er was appointed to further investigate
the matter ard ascertain the feasibil-
ity of securing subscriptions for stock.

Rambusch died his accounts were
short and the bondsmen on the second
bond paid Mrs. Nelson about 81, 900.
They contended that the other three
bondsmen were still liable, and finally
commenced an action to compel them
to pay their share. which amounted to
about 1000 each. 'j'he defendants
