Mr.. Leonard Triplett, OF Emmett,
favored us with a pleasant call Thursday.
Mr.. Triplett says that crops are suffer
ing somewhat from too much moisture
The frequent rains have caused grain to
grow quick and heavy, and in many
places barley and other grains are lodged
and some fears are entertained that the
crops will suffer considerably.
Last Saturday as August Mueller, III
street was driving about town he fell
out Of his wagon and was struck on the
head by a passing wheel that cut bad
severely bruised his hand. The injured
man was taken home soon after the ac-
cident, Tuesday morning he called on
DR.. f. G. Moulding at his residence and
the doctor sewed up the wound putting in
eight good solid stitches. The doctor re-
ports Mueller as doing we'll.
With this number begins the second
year of the present management of the
REPUBLICAN. We make with this issue
some needed changes in the form of the
paper, and shall soon make others,
and hope to merit and to receive the
generous support of the reading public.
Approaching past favors we hopefully
solicit continuance. We have recent
ly engaged the services of Mr.. Geo. H..
Thomas, an experienced job printer and
solicitor, and hence we are better pre-
pared than ever to do all kinds of Com
mercial work.
Joseph E. Davies and Arthur Mulber-
ger, two Of the best known of our young
attorneys have formed a partnership
under the firm name of Davies & Mul-
berger, for the general practice of law.
Their office is over the pOst-0fficn. Col
lectiOns, loans and insurance are also
branches Of their business. Mr.. Null
berger is resident agent of the Fire
mans Fund insurance company, of Cal
ifOrnia. The senior member of the firm
is secretary Of our home insurance COM
pany, The WatertOWn Mutual Fire in
Surance company.
The storm of wind, rain and hail that
passed over our city on Wednesday with
out doing any material damage, did not
deal So gently by other cities along its
route. Fox Lake suffered considerably,
houses were unrOOfed windows broken
and shade trees blown down or limbs
broken off. OcOnomoWOc came in for
considerable like damage. The roof of
the beet sugar factory at MenOmonee
Falls, $50 in length and 80 in width
was blown off and other damage done.
The damage to factory alone is estimat-
ed at $3.50. Tho storm seems to have
been quite general extending from La
Crosse to Milwaukee and from Wausau
south to state line.
Herman Wertheimer, of WatertoWn,
circulated among friends in the village
yesterday. Mr.. Wertheimer is probably
the best known politician in the cOun-
try, and withal bright and congenial
gentleman to meet. He has for num-
Der OF years been elected to the city
council in his own town upon the Re-
publican ticket and has been elected
president of the council while that body
has been overwhelmingly democratic
'Jim," as the boys" call him, never tells
how he does it, but evidently his pOpu-
larity is one of his strongest recOmmen-
dations. The "boys" when speaking of
Jim" uSuallyssay, "if Jim promised it
you can depend on it."-Palmyra Enter
prise, May 20.
Just now WatertOWn is looking its
best. The trees are abundant and in
full leaf, the laTwns well kept. Ggener-
Gus shade everywhere is pleasing to the
eye and sugge stive of the comfortable
circumstances Of the people. Why not
a summer resort? Invite your city
friends to come out and spend a few
days with you. Tell them to wear their
old clothes and their easiest shoes and
to rest and renew their age. Oconomo-
woo is surrounded by beautiful lakes
and these have attracted summer resi-
dents because it is considered the
proper caper to go somewhere. And
they go to OcOnOmOWoc because it
is pretty and cheap. There is more real
comfort and cordial hospitality in
stock in Watertown than in all Wau-
kesha county. No more hospitable
people live any where.
