The death OF. Henry Vogel, an early
resident of this city, occurred last
Wednesday night at his home, 926
North Fourth street. aged 81 years.
He had been i'll for some time with
stomach trouble. Mr. Vogel was born
in Germany and when boy emigrated

about fifty years ago. He was a car
penter by trade and for long period
was employed in the railway shops at
the Junction. After their removal
Mr.. Vogel served as night policeman

active pursuit. He is survived bv
three children Frank, Louis and
Miss Hannah, all of this city. The
funeral was held Sunday afternoon
from St. Johns church.

well-known jurists of the state, died

trict from 1869 to 1881. The widow

A NEW INDUSTRY.
Branch of the L. L. Henry Company, Box
Makers, Located Here.

Makers, Located Here.
Watertown will shortly have an in
crease in the number of it's manufac-
turing enterprises, the I. L. Henry
company, of Waupun, having decided
to locate branch factory here. The
company manufactures paper boxes
and enjoys an extensive trade. The
old Ruesch building on Water street
has been rented and is being remod-
eled so as to fit it for the requirements
of the business. Employment will be
given to a force of girls in charge of
an experienced forelady, and while
for the present the company does not
expect to carry on the enterprise very
extensively at this point, the pOssibil-
tiles of the future are such as to war;
rant our citizens in extending to the
company every inducement and en-
couragement. 1t is given out by Mr.
Henry that if matters go well in the
new venture the entire plant may
eventually be transferred from Wau-
pun to this city, in which case about
800 hands would be required, one
quarter of whom would be men. The
shipping facilities here are much
more adequate than at Waupun and
altogether it would seem to be bet
ter location than the Prison city Now
that start has been made there is no
good reason why the Henry plant in
its entirety should not come here.
The Business Mems association should
give the matter its attention and ac-
cept any reasonable proposition that
will secure to the. city this very desir-
able enterprise. 1t would be a sub
stantial addition to our industries
The company supplies confectioners.
druggists, perfumers and jewelers. all
over the country with paper boxes.
For the present it is the intention to
manufacture goods for the drug trade
only at the local branch.

AS Good as New.

A shor0 time ago there came into
the possession of Assistant Cashier
Schreiner, of the First National bank,
81 bill issued by that institution in
January, 1865. 1t is signed by j. D.
Clapp, president, and L. B. Caswell,
cashier. The bank has issued no bills
OF this denomination for over twenty
years, and until Mr.. Schreiner came
across the one he now has it was SUP.
posed there was none extant. The
bill in question looks clean and bright
and the act of folding it produces that
pleasant cracking sound so dear to
the hearts of most of US. Apparently
most of it's thirty five years of exist
istence has been passed in retirement.

Football.

Last Saturday, Sacred He art col
lege defeated Madison high school at
Washington park. The latter team
was outclassed, and they secured the
necessary five yards but once Madi-
son found it impossible to get their
interference underway. Despins,
Schaetzke, Reilly and Krebs broke
through and tore it up before it got
started. Sacred Hearts interference
was the real cause of the downfall Of
the visitors. When, however. a Sac
red Heart man did not connect with
his interference he was downed at once,
showing that weight alone would have
been small factor in such game.
The contest was remarkably clean
and free from all Objectionable features.
The high school boys deserve great
praise for the pluck they displayed
when the odds were so much against
them. Adams did some clever punt
ing. and the ends were down the field
as soon as the ball was kicked. Madi-
sons tackling was especially note
worthy, and this, coupled with a fifteen
yard run by Watrous, was the princi
pal feature of their play,
Disch, Meagher, Keinow and
Walthers did the ground gaining for
Sacred Heart, and so we'll did they do
it that Sacred Heart did not lose the
ball once on downs. A pleasing fea-
ture was the punting of Meagher.
The MadisonS stared when he lifted
the pigskin once for fifty-fve yards.
and again for sixty yards. Krebs
showed Improvement in getting down
the field on punts. Despins was con
tlnually tearing holes in the line
Reilly caught punts like a veteran.
Casey, Mullen and Pierce PLAYED
good, steady game, allowing no gains
through them. Disch was, as usual,
master of the situation; his work at
quarter was all that could be desired.
He managed, in spite of the duties of
his position, to slip around the ends
occasionally for gains of fifteen and
twenty yards. What was especially
noticeable was his little trick of keep
ing the men playing ball all the time.
Following is the lineup:

WAVE SWEPT ISLANDS

Tacoma, { Wash }, April ~
Tidal waves and severe gales have
caused great damage to the low
islands of the Caroline group
during the last few months, &C.
cordlDg to Captain Hitchfeld,
master and owner of the British
schooner Queen OF the Isles,
which arrived at Wanchai, near
HoDgkong, from the Caroline
group. He says that all the bread
fruit and taro, the only luxuries
the natives have to vary their
usual meal of cocoanuts and fish,
have been killed. In December
last the Queen of the Isles picked
up the crew and passengers,
twenty-nine ia al, of the Amnr-
lean missionary schooner Il. w.
Logan of Boston, which was
wrecked during a storm on one of
the Mortlock islands. Landing
the missionaries safely on their
own island, the Queen of the Isles
proceeded eastward.
After days sail past the Bor-
dalaise reefs, Captain Hitchfield
was seized with strong impression
that he should visit these islets.
He accordingly turned back, and
found the Island of st. Augustine
half washed away. Fourteen peo-
pie, on the verge of starvation,
had taken refuge on the highest
point of the island, their gardens
on the lower portions having been
swept out of existence by an i'm
mense tidal wave. These people
were aboard and turned over to
the Spanish Governor at Ponape.
On her last trip the Queen Of the
Isles landed them at their original
homes on one of the western high
lands.
Not long ago Captain Hitchfeld
and his schooner were the means
OF saving the lives OF over 200
people at one Of the Gilbert Isl
ands. A tidal wave overlook them
and they would have been swept
away but for the timely assistance
rendered by his boats and crew.
Captain Hitch6eld is the son of j.
j. Hitchfield, r. n. He is a fell
low of the Royal Geographical
Society, and has devoted years
to voyaging among the South Sea
island on pleasure and trading ex-
petitions.
