Big Fight Postponed.

San Francisco. Cal, June Owing
to the injury to Jetfries' knee the jeff
ries Munroe fight will be postponed.
Jeffries' proposal was to delay the
until June "a, but when the message
was sent by Delaney TO Manager Coff-
roth he said: "We are in no rush.
Put it over until the 30th, and give
Jeffries plenty of time to get into con-
dition."
Pullock agreed for Munroe, as there
is no fear of the miner going stale.
Experts around town were greatly
disguised over the posponement. Many
do not believe that Jeffries can get
into condition. They say there must
be something radically wrong with his
system, and that severe training has
brought it out.

A Tabbard Inn Library.

An effort is being made to establish
branch of the Tabard Inn library II
Watertown. The Tabard Inn library
is under the management Of the Book
! lovers library. which is the largest
circulating library in the world and
has capital stock of 100000 Last
year over 12, 900, 900 books were circu-
lated
The life membership fee Of $l.5O In
the Tabbard Inn library entities each
mem Der to the permanent ownership
of one book with the privilege of ex-
changing that book at any one OF the
two thousand or more stations In the
United States. The book you have out
belongs to you and may be kept as
long as you wish, but can be exchanged
in week, in month, or in five years
by paying an exchange fee of five cents,
This is absolutely the only cost at
tached to the service after the mem ber-
ship fee has been paid. The book may
be exchanged in Watertown, in Chi
cago, Boston, New York, San Francisco
or at any one of over two thousand
stations.
There will always be one book in the
town for each member and an addition
al 125 books kept in revolving book
ease at the local station. Each month
sixty of these books will be removed
and sixty new ones added The books
are always kept fresh and clean by be-
ing circulated in a stiff board case COW
cred with black silk CLOTH They COM
prise the latest books on science, travel :,
history, biography, etc, including the
best of recent fiction. When member
wishes to discontinue the service of
the library he simply keeps out any of
these books, many of which are worth
three, four or five dollars.
There is no conflict between a Tab
ard Inn library station and the public
library in the same town. The most
successful stations are conducted in
towns having the best public libraries.
There are numerous books being pub
lished every year to which every book
lover wishes to have access. No public
library without unlimited resources
can afford to place all of these at the
disposal of it's readers. 1t is the aim
of the Tabard Inn library to make it
possible for all of it's members to read
any book published, at almost no ex-
pense.
In order to establish station in Wa
tertown membership of l25 must be
secured For further information call
at The Schempf Drug Co. store in Main
street. Ghere the local station will be
esta blished.

GET A SHOE FACTORY
New Institution to Employ I5O
People at the
Start.

The prospects are that Watertown
will soon have another shoe factory.
Last Saturday evening the city coun-
Gil held a special meeting to take ac-
ton in regard to vacatin2 a narrow
strip of Water street, which lies east
of the Milwaukee road sidetrack. On
this strip it is supposed to erect the
new plant. This factory will employ
100 men and so women right from the
start, and will be a good thing for the
city.
1t will be necessary to raise large
sum of money to secure this factory,
but the committee does not anticipate
any trouble in getting the required
amount to insure the removal to this
city Of the proposed shoe factory.
A blue print Of the proposed factory
is on exhibition in the show window of
Hertel & Hofmann's, Main street. The
consent of all property owners neces-
sary has been secured.
