Northwestern University

The enrolment at the Northwestern
University beginning of the present
semester, was the largest in the history
of the institution. Nearly 800 students
are enrolled and in attendance, and the
prospects for the University were new
er brighter than at the present time,
which is certainly gratifying to those
! who have worked hard to build up the
| school and make it successful educa-
tional center. The costs to the stu
dents in the Northwestern j S so moder-
ate and the advantages so great, there
should be and undoubtedly will be, in
time, twice as many students in atten-
dance, for the expenses of the entire
four year course will hardly exceed
the cost of ore year in many of the
other institutions of learning in the
state. and the instruction impaired is
no more solid and important than in
the Northwestern, except in special
lines.
The faculty is composed of able men
VINO are enthusiastically devoted to their
work and the students come under
their personal supervision, which tends
to give them moral stamina and noble
ness of character and prepare them
for the higher and better ideals of life.
While study and application is re
quired, athletics are not ignored, and
the Northwestern this year again
expects to turn out good squad of
football material Eight men of the
last seasons college team have return
ed to fill out their old positions,
Rumm. Motzkus. Woyahn, Wendland,
E. Berg, Leudtke, Eickmann, Paukov,

satisfactory material has been found.

"Why this Whyness?"

The attention of the writer has been
called to the fact that Watertown, a
junction point, is not mentioned in any
of the railroad time I'd bles published In
the Chicago dailies. Recently resi-
dent of this city was in Chicado and
purchased paper mostly for the pur-
pose of ascertaining when train would
leave for 'Watertown." and failed to
obtain the information. because no
mention was made of the city in the
time table Little dinky places are
noted which do not furnish ond quarter
of the passenger patronage that this
CITY does, yet '.Watertown" is omitted
The railroad officials should get busy
and put ''Watertown'' in big black let
ters on the time tables furnished the
papers.

The eagerly awaited return date of

at the Turner opera house next Sun
day. We cannot remember when a
more appreciative and pleased audience
retired after a performance at the pop

which attended it's first recent local
production. Everybody was satisfied
and that tells the story with great, r

Long term of Service.

The faithful and continuous service of
Charles Goetsch holds the record. He
has been in the employ of Edward
Rack for thirty-two years, during
which time he has had but few vaca-
tions and playspells, which probably
accounts fos his excellent health and
youthfulness, although he is three score
years of age He enjoys life in sane
way, is regular in his habits and al
ways jolly, finding pleasure instead of
sorrow in living and making his society
worth seeking. Such men should live
always and then not die. but fade
away like the daisies.

4 DOUBLE
DROWNING
MISS EMMA SCHULTZ AND MR..
JOHN TRAUEr1ER ARE
DROWNED.
Go Boat riding Wednesday Even
ing, body of Hiss Schultz Found
Thursday Morning and Body
of John Trauemer found Sunday
forming.

One Of the saddest accidents that
has happened in this city for a long
time occurred Wednesday evening, in
the drowning of Miss Emms Schultz
and Mr. John Traeumer, both OF this
city, in the Rock river near the island
opposite the Home for the Feeble
Minded, by the capsizing, it is sup
posed, of the boat in which fhey were
rowing, whether by collision or the
boat running unto a stump below the
surface of the water will probably never
be known.
The couple not returning Wednes-
day night to their homes, a searching
party started out Thursday morning
and about nine o'clock the body of Miss
Schultz was found near the island,
her bat floating on the surface of the
water being attached to her dress by a
string, the body being in a redundant
position, the feet in the mud. The
body was removed to the morgue at
the city hall where an autopsy was held
Friday on the remains by Drs. T. G.
Moulding, T. G.. Werner, G. r. Field,
c. Z. Habhegger, j. f. Simpson and
City Physician r. B. Hoermann, and
an inquest jury empannelled by Judge
Stacy, but the inquest was adjourned
by direction of the county attorney of
Dodge county until the 9th inst, at
$50 a. N. at the city hall which sub
sequent events will probably prove un-
necessary, as the body of John Traeu
mer. the companion of Miss Schultz
was found Sunday morning by Edward
Gloger and Robert Zell near the spot
from which the remains of Miss
The body of John Traeumer upon
being removed from the water, was
brought to the city and placed in the
morgue and prepared for burial, the
county attorney of Dodge county in
which county the sad accident oc-
Cured, having decided that an inquest
was unnecessary, as there was no
doubt but the young people met their
untimely death by an accident.
There had been good many sur
misses and suspicious, and the authorit-
les took such precautions as were
reasonable and requisite under the cir
cumstance5 but the result demonstrated
that all suspicious were groundless
and that it was an accident which has
cast pail over the city.
Miss Schultz Mas about thirty years
of age, modest unassuming you ng
lady and very popular with those who
knew her intimately, and her relatives
have the sympathy of all in their great
bereavement, especially the dear, old
mother, who now sits in the shadow
of a great grief. The funeral services
were held Sunday afternoon at ST.
Marks Luth, church and were largely
attended by relatives and sympathis :
ing friends and neighbors.
John Traeumer was the son OF
Major and Mrs. George Troeumer who
have the sympathy of all IN their sor-
row. The remains were taken to
Milwaukee Monday, where the funeral
services were held and the interment
in the family lot in the Union cemetarv
the Major and family having been
residents of that city for many years.

DIFFERENT CLOSING OUT SALES
The Kind now Going on at BaIKe's
Big CuriO.

There are closing out sales and clos
ing out sales. Some are genuine and
others are catch penny affairs or in
tended merely to get rid of an undesir-
| able stock The closing out sale now
going on at Ball1e's Big Curio store is
one of the genuine kind and the people
are appreciative for the store is crowd
ed from morning to night. There is
nothing undesirable in the stock there
nothing going out of fashion and Moth
ing that will not be as good in a year
from now as it is now But Mr.. Bake
intends to have the store filled next
season with something different from
many of the lines he has carried. He
is going to buy these something differ
ent things in large quantities in the
course of his European tour on which
he will set out shortly He is there
fore engaged in making room and he
is doing it regardless of the sacrifice.
Notwithstanding he is trying to close
out as fast as possible he is still re-
ceiving new goods, installments of
purchases made at the beginning of the
season and which ought to have been
here long ago and sold. They too, are
going at the slaughtered prices.
There has just come a large stock
of moccasins made by the Indians Of
Canada. They are quite different from
the Indian moccasins made on a large
scale by a Kansas City factory and
shipped east and west for retail to the
unsuspecting. Mr.. Bake would like TO
explain to intending buyers, by COM
parison, the difference between the i'm
itation and the genuine. The genuine
ness of his mOccasins is shown in still
another way, in a document showing
that he has paid duty to the amount of
S45 on the lot he has just received.
They came from across the Canadian
frontier.
There are being sold now a great
many beautiful swastika crosses in
stick pins, shirtwaist sets and cuff
buttons. The swastika is supposed by
the Indians to bring good luck. The
Navajos weave it into their blankets
and the Pimas weave it into their bas-
kets and paint it on their pottery The
Chinese and Japanese have a supersti-
ton concerning it. The crosses at the
Big CurIo store are made by the In
dams of silver. The Mexicans make
swastiIa crosses but they are differ
ent from those made by the Indians.
Mr.. Bake Will be pleased to explain
the difference and point out .the supe-
riOr beauty of the Indian work
But there is one thing in which the
Mexicans excel. That is in silver fill
gree work, the making of articles of
spun silver. There are stick pins.
spoons. butterflies, single and double
daisies and many other beautiful arti- |
Giles. There are a thousand things at
the Big Curio store which can be had
for almost the purchasers price.
Early this week another big consign- |
mept of blankets will be received from !
the Navajo reservation and then Mr.. !
Bake will announce the beginning of !
the greatest auction sale of blankets !
ever held in the southwest
