Death of James KiIlian.

After an illness of only four days,
brought on by the effects of a fall,
James Killian, one of the earliest resi-
dents of Watertown yet remaining
among us, departed this life last
Wednesday afternoon at his home on
Fifth street. Few of Mr.. Killian S friend )
had heard of his final illness and his
death therefore was a surprise to a
large circle of acquaintances. The
funeral was held Friday morning with
services in st. Bernard's Catholic
church, of which faith the deceased
was always a devout follower, and the
body was laid to rest in ST. Bernards S
cemetery
Mr.. Killian was born in Ireland,
December %, 1880, being therefore
nearly 50 years of age. In 1885 he
came to the United States with his
parents and ten years later took up
his residence in this city. Some three
years later, when the gold fever broke
out in California, Mr.. Killian migrat
ed to that state and remained there
a few years, after which he returned
here and engaged in the blacksmith
ing and wagon-making business, which
be continued to follow up to the time
of his retirement from active laborS a
short time since. Mr.. Killian's busi
ness brought him in contact with
many people of this vicinity and he
enjoyed an extended acquaintance.
In his dealings with all he was uni
formly frank, honest and upright.
and he had come to be generally es-
teemed for his sterling traits of char
acter. He possessed a kindly, gener-
Gus nature and always had cheer
full greeting for neighbors and ac-
quaintances and a friendly interest in
all He was a good husband and indul-
gent parent and his absence from the
home will be keenly felt. Mr.. Killian
was married in 1861 to Margaret
Callag han, who survives him, with
the following children: John and
Frank, of Milwaukee; James, Eugene,
Marie and Margaret, of this city.

1t is Appreciated.

The commendable spirit and enter
prise which The Milwaukee Sentinel
has shown in giving publicity to the
Watertown Harvest Jubilee and Car
nival is highly appreciated by the
people of this city and favorable
words have been spoken on all sides
for the big metropolitan daily. The
Sentinel has truly been very generous
and has no doubt done world of
good in advertising our great show.
On Friday it gave prominent place
to an excellent double-column picture
of the carnival queen, with an accom-
panying sketch, and on Sunday print
ed a lengthy illustrated article re-
viewing the carnival associations la
bors and giving synopsis of the pro-
gram.
In addition the following kindly
editorial comment appeared in Satur-
days ISSUE The enterprising people
of Watertown have arranged carni-
val program for next week worthy Of
much more pretentious cities, and are
prepared to entertain all classes Of
people from any part Of the state
Milwaukee people can evidence a be
coming good will to their country
cousins and get more than their mon
ey's worth of fun by devoting one day
to a visit in the metropolis of Dodge
and Jefferson counties.

WatertOwn Wins the Deciding Games
from Oshkosh and GAINESVILLE.


from Oshkosh and GAINESVILLE.
The final and deciding game of the
series for the state championship be-
tween Oshkosh and Watertown was
played Sunday at Washington park
and was rather disappointment to
the large crowd present. From the
preceding contests it was expected
there would be ''battle royal" but
Oshkosh showed up in demoralized
condition, of the original team only
Hanford, Morrissey, Bruyette and Metz
Ter being on hand The local team
loaned Pitcher APPEL to the visitors and
he putup good game at second base,
while they also received efficient aid
at shortstop by Sullivan, of GAINESVILLE.
Claude Elliot, the noted pitcher, was
also here to assist Oshkosh, but in
place of pitching he went behind the
bat, while Hanforl, the regular catch
er, essayed the twirler's job, thus
reversing the regular battery positions
and giving the spectators an impress
sion from the start that the game
would be a ia5co. If Hanford ever
had any idea he could pitch it must
have entirely left him Sunday. Such
a fusilade of basebits has not whizzed
past the ears of any twirl.r on the
home grounds this season. Home
runs, three-baggers, two-baggers and
singles followed each other in rapid
succession whenever Watertown was
at bat, the result of the terrific hit
ting being II runs, nearly all earned.
BY luck Oshkosh managed to secure a
lone run, but they should have been
shut out The home team put up
their usual fine game and Root pitched
steadily, although suffering from a
lame arm. Walthers' batting and third
base play, nisch's splendid outfelding
and startling one-handed catch of a
fierce liner by Schaetzke were features
of an otherwise uninteresting contest
By defeating the Janesville Y. Nj.
G. A. team in the third game of the
series at Fort Atkinson last Thursday,
and Oshkosh again Sunday, the Water
towns can we'll lay claim to the state
championship, especially if they van

| fidently expected. The game at Fort
Atkinson Thursday was won by score
of II to Z. Adkins was in the box
for Janesvill, and Apel for Water
town. The following day the two
teams played an exhibition game at
Janesville, Watertown being defeated,

Chance for a Factory.

A very fair and advantageous busi-
ness proposition has been submitted
to the Business Mems association by
Timothy Holland, a prominent manu-
facturer of Bremen, Ind, and in our
opinion Watertown will miss golden
opportunity if the proposition is not
accepted Mr.. Holland is the inver-
tor of churn which for effective and
perfect execution perhaps has no equal
in the market. Itperforms its work in
a surprisingly short time and there is
no question but that it would meet
with a ready sale. Mr.. Holland is
looking up a place in which to To-
cate plant for the manufacture Of
this churn and also a gasoline engine
on which he hold the patents. He
was here last week and was very
favorably impressed with our city as a
place in which to locate. He said he
would be willing to come here and
start the manufacture Of his devices
providing our business men saw fit to
| accept his proposition, which in effect
| is this: He will put $4,000 cash
and the patents on his churn and
gasoline engine, considered to be
worth another $40. 900, into the bust
ness, in return for $40, 900 stock sub
scribed by our citizens and the
donation of suitable plant
! The idea is to start the enter
prise on small basis and allow it tC
gradually grow as the business war
rants. Mr. Holland is known to be {
reputable and successful manufactures
and he has made a very fair and bust
nesslike proposition. He has the ut
most confidence that his churn will bt
in big demand and that in few years
time the contemplated factory woult
be fine thing for the city and no
table addition to our commercial in
terests. It is such enterprises tha
are most needed here at the presen
time and we hope that this excellen
opportunity will develop into some
thing more substantial than mere talk

NOW FOR THE FUN!
THE CARNIVAL TO OPEN To-
MORROW MORNING.
Everything in Readiness for the Great
Fall Show-Citizens Busy with De-
corations and Displays - Excellent
Prospects for Success.

Ere The REPUBLICANS edition this
week is entirely circulated, Water
towns first annual Harvest Jubilee
and Carnival will be on in all it's glory
and entertaining features. Since Sat-
urday the city has been filling with
visitors who have come to see the
sights and enjoy the fun, and before
the next sun sets multitude of street
venders and proprietors of shows of
the small order will have their places
of business in ship-shape and ready
for the crowds of the morrow. All
day yesterday the downtown section
presented an unusually animated
scene, and this morning it appears
even buster. Scores of men are en-
ployed in fixing things that need fix
ing and cleaning up places that need
cleaning, while the merchants to a
man are busy arranging their displays
and planning the elaborate decora-
tions that will beautify the business
houses and thoroughfares. If only
the weather-well. let's not borrow
trouble on that score, but indulge
every hope for the best.
All due preparation has been made
for the comfort and care of visitors.
and if they will only report to the in
telligence bureau they will be pro-
vided nth necessary accommodations.
Watertown enjoys an enviable repu-
tation for taking care of her guests on
all occasions, and the Carnival asso-
citation does not intend to allow this
reputation to suffer in the least.
During the three days frolic the ut
most freedom consistent with civil
lied manners and public safety will
be permitted, and it is expected that
these privileges will be accepted in
the proper spirit by ali. Generous
amusement and wholesome enjoyment,
all within the bounds of reason and
to the mutual credit of both the city
and her guests, will be the order.
The carnival will be formally opened
at o'clock tomorrow morning with
appropriate exercises at the carnival
arch and mystic fountain. on Mair
street bridge. Here the executive
committee will hold a reception tC

the guests of honor and visitors gen
orally. The coronation of the queen
of the carnival, Miss Agnes Chapman,
will take place, and Mayor CRUDE will
turn over the keys of the city to her
majesty. The queen, accompanied by
her court testers, will then ride
through Main street in her golden
chariot, drawn by a dozen Shetland
ponies, and this will be the signal for
the Simultaneous opening of all the
business houses, which have made a
special effort for the effective display
of new fall goods.
In the afternoon will occur the in
dustrial parade and agricultural dis
play, for which d large number OF
floats have been gotten up by business
men and farmers of the vicinity.
Sixty dollars in gold will be distri-
buted in prizes for the best agricul-
tural displays. A character bicycle
parade is on the program as an even
ing attraction, the wheels to be gaily
illuminated and the participant!
uniquely costumed. Cash prizes tx
the amount of 500 will also be dlstrl
buted for this event.
A display by the electric fountain
will close the set program for the day
but high carnival will no doubt pre-
vail until the sswee sma' hours"
From the official program, copies
which have been held in reserve, ma
be obtained an outline OF the feature
for the other days.

Not Broad ENOUGH.

In his Chicago speech Colonel Bryan
did not say whether he favored with
drawing the army from the Philippines.
He talked like a copperhead, ridiculing
the idea of buying the millions of is
landers at a few dollars per head, but
he lodged any direct expression as to
whether the war should be abandoned.
Colonel Bryan will have to let the peo-
Pile know what he thinks upon this point
before or after his nomination. There
are plenty of Democrats older than Mr..
Bryan and more younger who will see
that his reference to the purchase of
the people of the island is very small
talk. The people Of New Mexico, Louisi-
ana, Florida and California were not
purchased by the Democratic admins
trations under which new territory wa
bought. Sneers of this character show
that Colonel Bryan is not broad enough
to be president of the American people.

Cubans Who Wish to Know.

A society for the monopoly of the little
glory earned by a bushwhacking war
seems to exist among Cubans who were
in the revolution. With eyes fixed up
on the fading group of honors and Of
fees intended for their own, they have
uttered an anxious appeal to this gov
eminent to know whether it intends
to turn Cuba loose. The heirs to revo-
%lutionary honors will probably be too
old to be in the political running when
Cuba is entirely independent of the
United States. The youth who is
anxious to have independence, and
would run away from home is, when
he has remained with the cold man.
long enough to learn his ways of doing
business, glad to stay under a generous
parental roof,
