! Sunday, August 6, was certainly a
gala day in this city it being the OBJ
servance of the Third Home Coming
| Day which has become quite a social
feature in the experience OF the in
habltants OF WatertOwn. and great
credit is due the mayor and members of
the home club, in making it the grand
success it was under the circumstances
-as there woud have been a much
larger attendance had the railroads
made special rates for the occasion,
which they were precluded from doing
on account Of the existing laws in the
state. As twas there were at least
700 former residents Of Watertown
who came to meet relatives and friends
and visit the scenes of other days. The
delegation from Milwaukee numbered
about 500 including the officers of the
Milwaukee club: Ernst A. Kehr, presi-
dent Theodore Kusel, vice presidents;
M. A. Blumenfeld, secretary: and
Joseph A. Schumacher, treasurer.
The delegation came over the G.. M. &
st. Z. road and reached here at 10 a.
N. where the mayor, the committee of
arrangements, the Watertown club and
Thacker's band was awaiting them.
Upon their arrival, they were escorted
to the Turner hall where the parade

are proud of WatertOwn and then in
an eloquent manner told why the citi-
zens were proud of the Home City.

the end of his address.
Ernst A. Kehr. president of the Wa

put on by such food as | have suggest
ed. They will not need grain so soon,
or so much of it, particularly if they
are supplied with plenty of early cut
clover or mixed hay, supplemented
by roots or Silage.
General Care.-They are thankful
too, if kept dry. The cold fall rains
saturate their wool, and it must
largely dry from the heat of their
bodies, requiring more food to supply
the waste, and is also a great drain
on their vitality This often produces
pneumonia and death, too often at
tributed to grub in the head, heart
failure and the like. 1t is an easy
matter to put them under shelter, and
will well repay the little effort and
thought required. 1t is poor economy
to let them live on the frozen grass
if the ground is free from snow
after winter has set in, and the other
thinly clad stock are safely housed.
True, such grass will fill them, but
there is a great difference between
filling and feeding. 1t will also con-
tribute much to their comfort, as well
as to the pocket Of the owner, if the
dirty wool is clipped away from about
the tail. If the hOOfs have grown
long on the ends or sides. this growth
should be pared off with good sharp
knife. Then plenty of pure water
where the sheep can have access to
it all times. a box of salt sprinkled
with turpentine to which they can
run, clean, dry bedding to lie on, with
all food removed that has not been
eaten the previous meal, and the
owner can sit down under his own
"vine' and figure up the profits with
safety.

A Story of an Express Package.

"A SCOry OF An express Fackage.
The editor of the Rural New Yorker
has had trouble with the Adams Elk
press Company. He publishes some
correspondence which he had with
them, but first called attention to it
by an item on the editorial page as
follows:
We invite study of the correspond
ence with the Adams Express Com
pany printed on the next page Since
the case started we have heard of a
number where just the same tactics
are followed. The evident design is
to bluff or disgust people until they
grow tired of trying to collect what
is due them. 1t took this company
159 days to find where that package.
plainly marked, went to. 1t wouldn't
take that many seconds for them to
figure their high rates of transporta-
ton. Imagine what would have hap
pened if we had taken the package
away without paying the express
chargesl Well, it is a good thing to
know that there is blood in a turnip
if you know how to squeeze the drops
out and will stick to the squeezer
The correspondence article is as
follows:
Did you ever try to get an express
company to settle for a lost package?
If so, you will appreciate the follow
ing history. On June 1 we ordered by
telegraph 1000 pepper plants from
Matawan, n, J. They were promptly
packed and shipped by the Adams
Express, but though days came and
went, they have not been heard from
since. We were unable to obtain other
plants at that time, and the failure
to deliver the package caused annoy

vestigation" l waited 10 days and
then wrote the following:
l desire to call your attention to the
fact that it is now 10 days since you
wrote me last. Your representative
called and stated that you were i'm
communication with another express
company. and that within a few days
the matter of the loss of my package
would be explained. 1 told him l
would wait 10 days and then take
further steps to Investigate the mat
ter" 1t seems to me that there is alb
SOlutely no sense whatever in this
long delay about settling for the pac-
kage. 1t is now exactly 145 days since
that package went astray. I have
been Informed six different times that
the Adams Express Co. was Cooking
the matter up" Now is the Adams
Express Co. blind, or is it true as |
have been told, that your policy is
to do nothing, and in this way tire
out and disgust those who try to re-
cover their property? My experience
with your company leads me to be-
lieve that the latter explanation is
most probable. Under ordinary cir
cumstances | should have given up in
disgust after your second letter, and
it would appear as though that is
what you expect those who complain
to do. l am not going to do this, how
ever, as | have made up my mind that
the Adams Express Co. is either to
pay for that package or keep hearing
about it as long as | live. The value
of the package amounts to little, but
this internal principle of lodging
fair investigation, of attempting to tire
out those who have a just complaint,
and waving people aside with eve are
looking it up has gone too far. l
enclose another bill for SO, for those
pepper plants. I intend to stay by
the Adams Express Company in one
way or another until this bill is paid,
as it seems to me that the time has
gone by for any gentle or decent
method to collect a fair debt.
We now appear to be getting down
to business, and by return mail l re
ceived the following:
l have your letter of the oath inst.
with further reference to shipment
forwarded to you from Matawan, n
J., June LIST last, and in reply wish
to assure you that this company is
not responsible for the delay in dis
posing of the matter. AS agreed in the
receipt accepted by you, our liability
ceases when transfer is made to
connecting company, which in this
instance is the National Express Co,
consequently we must wait the result
of their investigation. We understand
from their correspondent, Mr.. G. S.
Potter. that the matter is receiving
due consideration, and as soon as
conclusion is reached, they will COM
municate with us regarding the adj
justment of this claim, when we will

ance and loss. After weeks delay
we wrote the Adams Express Com
pany and received a letter from Phila-
delphia stating that the matter
'.wouId be investigated" After three
more letters of this sort we received
the following on August "a, 30 days
! after the package was sent:
This matter is in the hands of our
New York office, who have shown
good order transfer to the National
Express Co. l am asking our Mr..
w. A. Cochran, Chief Clerk, New
York, this date, for a reply.
J.. A. MURPHY.
Superintendent
! This looked like progress, and we
wrote Mr. Cochran, who promptly re-
piled as follows:
We beg to acknowledge receipt of
yours of the 25th inst, relative to
shipment of pepper plants made June
| 1, 1905, from Matawan, N. J. We
| have to advise that the shipment was
transferred to connecting company,
and the matter now presents some
complications that will take us several
days to work out. We have the mat
| ter, however, grinding, and can assure
you that the result will be ascertained
shortly and we will be pleased to adj
wise you when the matter is cleared
up. If you will kindly have a little
patience we will let you hear from us,
as the matter has not been lost sight
Of w. A. COCHRAN,
| Chief Clerk.
That was well enough as far as it
went, but it didn't go very far, or
rather it went too far, for 80 days
passed without any further informa-
| ton. Not being quite sure what Mr..
| Cochran meant by shortly" we wrote
him again on October as follows:
1 last heard from you on August &c,
regarding shipment of pepper plants,
which was made June 1, from Mata-
wan, n. j. l have written seven let
tiers, l think, about this shipment.
and in every case l have been notified
! that the matter would be promptly
| investigated" 1t is now 81 days since
you Informed me that "few compli-
cations had arisen that would take
you several days to work out" You
state in this letter that the matter
is grinding (Which | assure you is a
fact, and that you will be pleased to
advise me when it is cleared up You
also suggest that if | will have Il little
patience l shall hear from you in due

patience than anything else i'm the
world, but the Adams Express Co.
has my pepper plants. and 1 would
] like to exchange some of my patience
for the price of those peppers. 1 am

be very much pleased to have the
Adams Express Co. settle the bill at

ly to secure the creditor, and that the
paper was not intended to be ratiica-
ton of the gale. The conduct Of both
complainant and the assignee is in direct
conflict with this contention and in ac-
cordauce with the plain provisions OF the
assignment, which was written by an a.
torney and acknowledged, before a notary,
for when the trustees pursuant to the
terms of the assignment, paid the money
TO the assignee he received it without any
claim that the order did not entitle him
to receive the money but was mere
security for the debt; and Mr.. French,
himself, after the assignment had been
given, made an effort to collect a. part
of the said proceeds from the trustees,
and when shown his assignment to Mr..
Andrews he said be had forgotten all
about it.
The contention OF Mr.. French that the
trustees in the deed Of trust advertised
and made sale ofthe property before there
had been any breach of the bond for the
money loaned, or the deed of trust secur-
ing the same, is not borne out by the
record. By the terms of the trust the
bylaws of the association Of which the
complainant was a member (Art. TX,
sec. 6) expressly provide that off any
person who has received an advance neg
lects to pay interest, dues or monthly
payments thereon for period of three
months from the time the same shall be
due, or if he neglects to Day his insur-
ance or taxes within ten days after they
fall due, or to perform any condition or
requirement contained in the obligation
or security for such advance, then the
whole principal mentioned in the mort
gage. note or bond shall at once become
due and payable without further notice,
and proceedings may be commenced forth
with to foreclosO said mortgage or to col
lect said bond or note, in such manner as
the law directs, or as the board of direc-
tors may deem best for the interests OF
the association"
When the sale was advertised, the
complainant had failed to pay his taxes
for several years, and they had been paid
by the association. This failure to pay
his taxes was violation of his contract
With the association and gave it the right
to have the property sold. The fact that
the association had not earlier exer-
cised that right was not waiver of tha
right to have it sold for their nonpay-
ment.
Neither does the evidence sustain the
contention that the association had
agreed, when Mr. French paid up hi;
other dues, to give him a longer time
within which to pay his taxes than was
given.
The appellee, French, asserts in hi;
brief that the trustees made the sale
without any request to them in writing
by the building association and theil
sale was therefore an unlawful exercise
of the powers conferred upon them BY
the deed of trust. He further contends
in his brief that the conveyance undel
which the sale was made was in fact
mortgage, and not deed of trust, ant
that he is entitled to redeem the prop
erty. The ground upon which 1t II
claimed that the conveyance Is mort
gsge, although in form deed of trust

is that one OF the trustees was stock
holder and an officer in the building as
sociation
Neither of these contentious were
made in the bill and no facts alleged
upon which they can be based. These
questions not having been put 10 issue
by the pleading cannot be considered by
the court.
Without discussing further the grounds
relied on for the relief sought, it is suf-
ficient to say that we are Of opinion that
the case made did not warrant the court
in setting aside the sale. Its decree
must, therefore, be reversed, the inJunc'
tion dissolved and the bill dismissed.
