DODGE COUNTY MUST PAY.

Judge l., w. Halsey of Milwaukee
has affirmed the order of Judge Burnell
taxing the costs OF the hearing of the
Rowell case in Winnebago county to
Dodge county, The amount of costs.
Sc, OPS, rs. What is known as the
Rowell case of Beaver Dam is one of
the most if not the most, voluminous in
point of testimony, ever tried in Wis
consin. Several large boxes filed with
type written testimony taken before
Referee Forward and others in this
county are now at the court house. It
is understood that an appeal will be
taken from the decision taxing the
costs against Dodge county. The
question hinged upon the point of
whether the reference to the Winnie
bago court was compulsory or not. 1t
was Dodge county case and after
reference had been made to Winnie
bago county and decision rendered
the effort was made to charge up the
cost to Winnebago county. The de-
cision of Judge Halsey is victory for
this counry. .-Oshkosh Times.

A courteous, genial aged gentleman Of
the old school, polite and careful of

personal acquaintance.

this union eight children, four sons
and four daughters, were born, all of
whom are still living. In May of the
year 1878. the deceased removed with
his family to America, settling upon
the very farm where he died Though
a lover Of America and its institutions,
he paid frequent visits to his old home
in Germany, having crossed the big
sea water no less thar eight times dur
ing his more than thirty years resi-
dence here, and each time on his re-
turn he expressed himself as more and
more in love with the land of Lis adop-
ton.

of last week when death came as a
final release.

Factory Not Coming.

company Of Menomoneo Falls, recent
ly re-incorporated with capital stock
of 5000, and whose location at Wa
tertown had been worked for with
some assurances Of success, has de-
cided to remain at Menomonee Falls
The company has evidently made
their final decision for reasons based
upon their past business experience in
their home city supplemented no
doubt by material aid from their fellow
citizens. considerations that out
weighed the inducements generously
rendered by our " atertown people.
We think the company has made the
mistake of a lifetime. The question
of transportation alone for the receipt
of the raw material and shipment OF
their finished product, is decidedly 10
favor of Waterfowl Look at the To-
cation, Menomonee Falls is located on
a branch road that seems TO nave
wandered from it's original intentions,
starts fom nowheres in particular and
meandering aimlessly about stops out
in the northern part OF Waukesha
county. Like Alexander Stephens
mule, it has neither pride OF ancestry
nor hope of posterity. Of course the
residents of Menominee Falls can start
from there and 60 anywhere in the
world. but there is hardly anyone IN
the world who would start and go to
get delayed pay for his sugar beets or
to escade the surveillance of the police.
Watertown possesses the advantage OF
the two main lines Of railroad in the
Northwest, the great G. M, & St. Paul
double track line to the west where
the products Of the Rowell company
finds readieSt market, with no delay
for reshipment or limited transporta-
ton facilities. The Chicago & North
Western give ready access to North
ern Wisconsin or south to Illinois. while
the branch line to Madison has almost
the value of third line OF railroad.
No city in interior Wisconsin has a
finer agricultural district surrounding
and tributary to it than WatertoWn.
The financial and other valuable con-
iderations offered to secure the location
the plant here were generous III the
extreme aud were filing rather to
what our people hoped the plant would
become than to what it really is, Nor
should the welfare Of the company's
employees and their antilles be entire
ly overlooked Watertown's educa-
tional advantages, social conditions
and cost of livirg are factors in es-
timating the desira bIeness of the
10 cation in making a comparison, and
in these particulars Water town may
well challenge comparison with any
inland city of our state Of the same
class. It is not the loss the Of proposed
plant that hurts, but the blindness ol
the co mpany to its own material in,
terests, present aud prospective.
