Preston Wiiber Dead.

The many Watertown friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles H. WILDER are
panied to learn of the death of their
younger son, Preston, which occurred
at the family residence in Milwaukee
last Wednesday. Deceased was born
and raised in this city, and enjoyed
the friendship and esteem of a large
circle of acquaintances here. He was
educated in our public schools and
upon removing to Milwaukee was en-
ployed at office work until failing
health compelled him to retire from
active duties. He had just entered
his 25th year, having been born in
this city, April 3, 1875. The funeral
was held from his late home in Mil
waukee Friday afternoon and the re-
mains find a last resting place in
Forest Home cemetery.

The Crop Report.

Following is the crop report as sent
out by the United States department
of agriculture, on the condition OF
crops during the past week:
The average temperature for the
week was about normal and slightly
higher than the week preceding. The
week opened cool, but the temperature
rose steadily, reaching 90 degrees at
many points in the central counties
by Wednesday and Thursday
Very heavy rains occurred at a few
points in the central and eastern por-
tiOn of the state, Amherst, Portage
county, reporting nearly three inches
for the week, $50 inches of which fell
on the 10Th. Light showers occurred
over the southern section early in the
week. The moisture in the soil is
generally sufficient for present needs
Corn has made excellent growth
during the week. The plant is gen
orally strong, healthy, of good color
and gives promise of good crop
There is still some complaint of weeds,
especially where planted with the drill
Winter wheat and rye are nearly all
in the shock. The crops are con-
sidered good Oats and barley are
being harvested. Oats are badly
lodged and considerable loss will re-
suit. Barley is generally good, the
heads are we'll filled, but the re-
ports indicate some discoloration.
Farmers took advantage OF the fair
weather during the latter part Of the
week to finish haying, and large
portion of the crop was cut and secured
in good condition. Some hay, cut the
previous week, was damaged by the
rains. Some hay on low land remains
to be cut. Potatoes have made good
growth during the week and promise
a good crop.

The Paving Job

In some quarters dissatisfaction is
being expressed over the apparent
slowness of the street paving, but peo-
pie should have MOI e patience and
not kick so early in the game. Con-
tractor Schoenlaub is doing the best
he can to hurry the work. He has
thus far been handicapped by not
having sufficient labor on the ground
and be is endeavoring to his utmost
to secure more men. The demand for
laborers this summer is SO great, how
ever, that he finds it difficult to hire
workmen here and he has had to look
to other fields. This trouble will no
doubt be remedied shortly. Another
draw back to the work has been a fail
ure to secure crushed stone and curbing
with promptness, but large quantity
OF each is now on hand and no further
ii Ouble in this regard is anticipated.
Mr.. SchOenlaub feels sure that he will
be able to complete the work to the
bridge by September 10, and If this is ac-
complished it will be as much as can
reasonably be expected under the cir
cumstances. The paving SO far as
completed looks like an excellent job
and testifies that the contractor under
stands the work he has in hand.

strumental music, readings and liter
ary charades formed the evenings

Irma Schempf and Jennie Sproesser
giving the musical portion and Miss
Andrews, of Milwaukee, the literary
portion. Prizes in the charades were
won by the Misses Hattie and Anna
Habhegger, Elsie Schempf, Mayme
Schwieger and Meta Werner. Delic-
ious refreshments were served.
In observance of her birthday ami
versary, Mrs. Emile Bursinger enter

down by the umpire, but he said he
couldn't prevent it.
Schultz's throw to the plate in the
seventh inning was beauty, but the
umpire's rank decision made it avail
nothing.
0. Roessler hit the ball with a VEN
geance. Two singles, a double and a
triple is not so bad out of four times
at bat
KleinOw recovered his batting eye
and knocked out double and triple,
both very timely.
The Jetfersons had the satisfaction
of exploding a phenomenon. Their
work against Bach was hardly expect
ed.
Schaetzke spoiled a safe one for
Metzler in the sixth by wonderful
one-handed stop
Mills, the old timer, was just as re-
liable as ever and fought every inch
of the ground for his team.
Heimerl, as usual, had several OF
his opponents on his list and they
agitated the atmosphere repeatedly.
The Jefferson battery were pretty
much the whole thing.
Schultz should have scored in the
sixth, but was held on third by the
coacher when Marquart flew to cen
ter.
Kronitz is charged with an excus-
able error on account of the umpire's
indulgence OF unfair playing by
Buchta.
