john Kessler, who will represent
the First assembly district Of Dodge
county, is native of Bavaria, where
he was born in 1917. In 1855 his
parents emigrated to this country,
living in New York until their re-
moval to Milwaukee in 1857. In 1868
the family located in Watertown,
and have since then made this city
their home. When about IA years of
age young Kessler was apprenticed
to Wiggenhorn Bros, cigar manu-
facturers, and has continued with
that we'll known firm up to the pres
ent time, except during a brief resi-
dence at Juneau. Mr.. Kessler's home is
in the Dodge county portion of our
city, and he has represented his ward
in the city council for four successive
terms. He was ever watchful of the
city's interests, and always took a
very prominent part in the delibera-
tions of the council, during his service
being president of the council and
also member of the board of water
commissioners. As to general or
special legislation Mr.. Kessler has
nothing definite in view. He is pre-
pared to devote his time and best eff
fort in the service of his constituents.
He is not quite certain as to what he
may do in regard to the much-ta talked
Of pass question. He is the recip-
lent of the usual compliments the
railroad companies bestow on mem
bers of the legislature, but has come
to no conclusion as to what dispo-
sitiOn he will make Of his passes.
His intention at present is to wait un-
til his arrival at Madison and do a
little investigation on his own hook.
MIR. Kessler says there is a good deal
OF talk about passes exerting a per-
nlclOus influence on members. and
that is what he wants to find out: to
give the matter a thorough investiga-
tiOn, SO that he can act understand
ingly in the premises. Mr.. Kessler's
district is largely Democra ic, but was
represented two years ago by DR..
Clason, Independent.

Record of Death

By inadvertence we failed to
chronicle the death of David Bare,
which occurred at his home in the
town of Milford, near Hubbleton,
about two weeks since Mr.. Bare
was an old resident of that section,
and his place was known to nearly
every traveller on the Plank road. He
devoted considerable time to his api-
airy, which he carried on quite extern
sively. Mr.. Bare was a quiet, unob-
trusive man, and enjoyed the good
opinion of his neighbors. His widow
and several children survive him. He
was 73 years of age.
Albert Berg, aged 81 years, died
yesterday morning at his home, 1OS
Jones street, after a two months i'll
ness with dropsy and Bright's disease.
His widow and three small children
survive. Mr.. Berg was the Youngest son
Of Mrs. Henrietta Berg, a3l va en-
ployed several years as a teanotor lo1
the old Fuermann brewery. He was a
well-known young man.
David Lille, who was born in Ire
lana in 1900, and had therefore at
tanned to the age of nearly 100 years,
died recently at his home in Monterey
near Oconomowoc.
August Bieberman, well-knowr
resident of Juneau, died at his home
there yesterday afternoon.

University Extension.

we Wish to call attention to the
course of lectures on American his
tory to begin this week Friday even
ing at the new high school building.
The particulars in regard to this
course will be found elsewhere in this
issue. What we wish to say here is
In regard to the opportunity offered
by such course from the standpoint
| OF public instruction. We may GER
| tainl y say that Watertown appreciates
the value Of education and educa-
tlonal advantages. Our numerous
schools, public, private and parochial,
| the college and the university, are
all a witness to the general intelli-
gence of the community, and to our
appreciation of whatever will enlarge
the intellectual horizon and stimulate
the powers Of the mind. But, while
we admit all this, we do seriously
question whether the people of this
city appreciate to any considerable
degree the unusual advantages and
the splendid opportunities afforded by
such course Of lectures as the one to
which we refer.
Here Will come to us man from
one of the greatest educational in
stitutiOns in the country, the Uni
versity OF Chicago; a man who has
given lifetime to professional study
In special lines; an'expert we may call
him in the field of American history.
And this man comes to us not simply
as one who is filed to overdowing
with knowledge Of his subject but as
one who has demonstrated his con-
spicuous ability to unfold to the popu-
lar mind the great truths which he
has been toiling all his life to find.
lie comes to bring US great word
pictures OF the men and times of
which he treats, to interpret great
national movements in our cOuntry's
history, and so aid us in applying the
lessons Of the past to the solution of
the problems of the present time.
The purpose of such a course of
lectures is in full harmony with the
object of every benefcent movement.
whether in the family, the state or
the church, namely, to train the
peOplein Intelligent, law-abiding, God
fearing citizenship. What man of
affairs, with his limited time for read
ing; what professional man who ap-
preciates the value of breadth Of cul-
ture; what teacher who would train
pupils in the real patriotism which
is based on discriminating knowledge
OF the past; what parent who would
enlarge and perfect the ideals of
craftsmanship which he would place
before his children; what student who
is pressing onward in the rugged path
of learning, can afford to miss this
grand opportunity to become part and
parcel in worldwide effort for the
education of the masses of mankind?

Schott-Hansen Match a Draw.

There was disappointed crowd at
the North side Turn hall last evening
to witness the wrestling match be-
tween Soren Hansen and Reinhold
Schott for wager of $400 and a purse.
The referee, Charles Mas, called the
match a draw after Hansen had been
awarded two falls, and was unable to
continue in the third bout owing to an
injury received in an accidental man
ner. The men did not get together
until nearly 9 o'clock. When time
was called they lost no time in begin
ming work. After stepping around the
mat for while they finally came to-
gether and Schott went to the mat
Hansen tried half Nelson, but Schott
got out Of it by pretty head spin.
Hansen acted on the aggressive and
Schott had to work hard to get out of
several dangerous holds. After
eleven minutes of wrestling Hansen
secured a half Nelson and body hold
and slowly forced the Watertown man
to the mat. In the second bout Schott
did all the forcing and Hansen played
on the defensive. SchOtt secured neck
hold and backheeled Hansen several
times, but failed to throw him. Again
SchOtt caught the local man with a
flying fall and Hansen went down.
but the referee did not see the fall
and could not allow it. Several at
the ring side claimed it was a fall for
Schott, but the referee failed to allow

but Hansen landed on top and with a
half Nelson forced his man to the mat
a second time. The second bout was
twenty-six minutes. Hansen ap-
peared to be the stronger Of the two.
In the third bout Schott started
savagely and kicked Hansen in the
shlns. According to the rules this is
allowed, but many of the spectators
thought it was foul. Hansen re-
celved blow above the knee, which
is foul, but the referee failed to see it
and refused to allow it, Time was

OUR REPRESENTATIVES.
Two Members of the Legislature Resi-
dents of Our City-Both
Democratic.

Herman G. CRUDE, the subject of
this sketch, was born in the town of
Emmett on the Sd Of March, 1915.
His early education was received in
the district schools, and up to the age
of Is years he lived at home with his
father, working on the farm during
vacation. About that time he was
matriculated in the Northwestern uni
versity, where he took a three years.
course of study, finally graduating
from that institution. At the close
Of his college days he assumed a clerk
ship ir a general store, and in 1885
founded one of the leading mer-
camille establishments in our city, in
which he has been eminently success
full, having built up a large and
lucrative trade. Mr. CRUDE was
twice elected to represent his ward
in the city council, and took deep
interest in his official duties In his
aldermanic career he was wise and
judicious, his official acts meriting
the approval of all parties. Mr..
CRUDE will 60 to Madison without
any particular hobby or ak to grind.
He proposes to take observations,
and gradually become accustomed to
his legislative duties. Any legisla-
tion affecting the interests Of his con-
stituents will engage his closest at
tention. On the pass question Mr..
CRUDE says he stands squarely with
his party, and he believes the use of
free transportation naturally tends to
weakening of opposition to any meas
ure deemed hostile to railroad inter-
ests. He was elected to the legislature
from the First assembly district of
Jefferson county over his Republican
opponent by 440 majority. Although
normally Democratic, this district was
represented from '96 to '98 by the
present lieutenant-goVernor, the Hon.
Jesse Stone.
