woman sweeping down Washington
street the other day with an outfit that
from her hat to the hens of her skirt and

was taking along with her all the dust on

attempt to pick up the dragging garments

If there is a Society for the Prevention of

pack horses n half-clad little chap stag
gered into the office the other night with
a great bag, filled to the top with parcels,
on his back, and two huge bundles in his
hands. 1t was bitterly cold, and the boy
was crying. He had four or five telegraph
messages to deliver before he could get
fairly under way with his load, and the
delivery of the latter entailed a walk of
at least three miles into the north part of
the city and as much back to town. The
boy was but thirteen years old, and small
for his years. The service is poor enough
at the best. but under such conditions the
wonder is that it is no worse; and the GUS
tom of so loading down the boys. that the
high officials shall receive larger dividends,
is nothing less than criminal.

Trustees Appointed.

Last Saturday Judge Grimm of the
Jefferson county court made public the
names of the two men he had appointed
as trustees with Oscar A. Cole of the John
W. Cole estate held in trust for the city
of WatertOwn. The men appointed are
John Habhegger and Carl R. Blumenfeld.
Some time ago the two former truS-
tees, d. H. Beurhaus and Edward f
Wieman, resigned, and resolution
passed the city council that committee
submit the names of two citizens to the
council for approval to be sent to the
county court. The committee submitted
the names of W. D. Sproesser and Carl K.
Blumenfeld, but when the time came for
the appointments to be made Mr.. Cole
petitioned the county court to appoint
John Habhegger and ". {. Raue. Ihe
court has had matter under consldera-
tion and finally made the appointments
as stated before.
Mr.. Cole SAYS the council committee
never conferred with him in the matter
and that under the terms of the will
the trustees appointed should meet with
his approval, and that therefore ne may
take an appeal to tho circuit court. When
ashed whether he would qualify as trus-
tee Mr.. Blumenfeld stated that he would
do so.

had been afflicted with heart disease for
for several years. He left the house
Thursday morning. to do the chores and
was stricken with dta h. Deceased was
about SO years Of age and is survived

grown children.
The lifeess body of Herman Drummer
was found hanging in barn
on the farm of his uncle near
Theresa, on Sunday last. Mr.. Drummer
was in a sickly condition for the last
few years and this is supposed to have
caused the act Mr.. Drummer removed

formerly being engaged in the tailoring
business with his father in Main street,
and resided at 205, Western avenue.
He was 81 years of age and is survived
by his widow and two little sons. He
WAS a son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Drummer,
407 Main street where the remains were
taken to. The funeral was held Wednes-
day afternoon.
Stephen Nicholas, known among his
army comrades familiary as "Steve
Nick" died at his home at Grovesville,
last Tuesday, aged 81 years. Steve was
a full blooded Narragansett Indian and
was born in Rhode Island in 1910. When
5 years Of age he was adopted by his
grandparents, Moses and Catherine
Stanton, and came with them to Wis
consin in 1S45. He enlisted in Capt.
Brnetts company d Of the First Wiscon-
sin Cavalry and participated in every
engagement Of that regiment when not
a prisoner. Indian Steve was really
respected and loved by the old boys as
well as by the officers and richly de-
served all the confidence and admiration
avished upon him. Not single MEM
ber of the regiment will learn of the
death of their old comrade without a
sigh of regret and tear of sincere sOr-
row. OF the fairy tales concerning his
descent from King Philip we know
nothing and care less. Steve was true
man and brave soldier in spite of such
ancestry. After the war Steve found
several years of cOngenial employment
on cattle ranches in the West. He then
returned home and with prodigal gen
erosity gave the very considerable sum
Of money which he had saved to the Old
