Open Air Concert.

The first open air concert of the
season was given last evening by the
members of Thacker's Concert Band
to large crowds of appreciative listen
ers along Main street. 1t is display
of generosity on the part of this mu-
steal organization that should be ap-
preciated by the citizens of Water
town. There should be some of that
substantial assistance in the way of
financial support. 1t is the intention
to continue the concerts on Saturday
evenings throughout the summer and
to give two a week if the proper en-
couragement is shown. The initial
concert was certainly a treat and it
is to be earnestly hoped that the ap-
probation will be sufficient to have
them continued.

DEATH SUMMONS
HON. CARL SCHURz
THE WARRIOR PATRIOT FELL
ASLEEP YESTERDAY.
Resident of WdtertOWn of Half a
Century Ago Dies After d Short
Illness-Spent Early Manhood
Here-Well Known to Pioneers
Flags at Half Mast.

Carl Schurz who was widely known
as an orator and writer passed away
at his home in the city of New York
at an early hour yesterday morning in
the 10th year of his age, having been
born in Cologne, Germany, March 2,
1929. He entered the University of
Bonn at the early age of II and at
once became prominent in his studies
and in the lite of the University and
soon became an active advocate Of
the principles of republican form of
government and became identified
with the revolutionary movement
that exiled so many from Germany in
l848. After brief stay in England,
he came to this country in 1852 and
located in this city and soon became a
leading spirit in political matters and
upon the organization of the republic
a party in 1854 hetook an active part
and soon was recognized as leader
of marked independence and ability.
From the time he reached this country
until his passing away, he was one of
the history makers of his adoped coun-
try and had much to do in shaping
politics. A ma ajor- general during the
civil war, a United States senator,
member of the cabinet and ambassa-
dor to Spain. He undoubtedly was
the most prominent foreign born citi-
zen that ever made this country his
country and our flag his flag. Had he
not been handicapped by birth it
might possibly reached the presidency.
On the day of his funeral, the flags
in this city should be hung at half
mast and appropriate exercise held by
our people.

EPWORTH LEAGUE
CONCERT GIVEN
HELD LASTEVENING AT METH
ODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
Principal Attraction of the Even
ing's Program Was Evolutionary
Numbers BY Miss Smith of Om0r0
Ably Assisted BY Local Musical
Tdlent-Will Return,

The Epworth League concert given
at the M. E. church last evening was
a grand success. The principal attrac-
tion of the evening were the elocution-
ary numbers by Miss Katharine Carroll
Smith of Omoro, who delighted the
audience beyond measure. Although
Miss Smith was suffering from a cold
to the extent that she did not feel able
to respond to the hearty encores that
greeted each number. she neverthe-
less carried out her portion of the
program to entire satisfaction of all,
as was evidenced by the applause that
followed each number. What Miss
Smith lacks in sweetness of face she
makes up in sweetness of voice and
manner and she proved to the salts
faction of her audience last evening
that she is an elocutionist of rare
ability and it is with much pleasure
that she is to return at no great
distant date for return engagement.
Miss Smiths rendition's last evening
were reading (a) Low Back Car, ="
CO. selected; "How Saltator Won;"
(a) "When Jack Comes Late" (b)
Debatin' Society,"" "The Message, !"
with musical accompaniment closing
with Juvenile impersonations. Each
number was capitally rendered, es-
pecially that of the 'Debatin' Socie-
ty" and the impersonations.
The program of the evening opened
with piano solo by Miss Edna Gold
ner, which was rendered in manner
most pleasing. Rev. M. L. Eversz
favored the audience with baritone
solo, "Davy Jones' Locker" which
was pleasingly rendered. A solo,
''The Lass with Delicate Air. by
Mrs. Carl Field, was one of the most
pleasing numbers on the program and
was thoroughly appreciated by the
audience. The final musical number
on the program was another piano sole
by Miss Goldner, which delighted the
audience immensely.
The announcement that Miss Smith
is to return at later date is pleasing
to those who enjoyed the pleasure OF
hearing her last evening and it is t.
be hoped that on her next appearance
she will be greeted by a most liberia
audience.

DEATH CALLS MR..
AUGUST GAMM
OCCURRED AT LIS O'CLOCK
THIS MORNING.
One of the Most Highly Respected
Pioneer CitiZenS-Seventy-Eight
Years of Age-Cdme to Water
town in l852-Funerdl to Be
Held Friday Afternoon.

Within the past few days, death has
not dealt gently with the aged popu-
lace of Watertown and several of the
well-known pioneer residents of the
city. Like the leavs of autumn they
have been quickly fading and falling
into the depths of the unknown beyond.
The last to close his eyes in the
sleep that knows no awakening on this
mortal sphere is the we'll known and
highly respected citizen August Gamm,
who passed away at l Is O'Clock this
morning at his home, 9O1 Sixth street,
after an illness of about a month, the
last two weeks of which time he was
confined to his bed. The annouOnce-
ment of his death by the Laeder this
morning will be sad shock to the
host for friends in the city and trib-
utary country who have enjoyed his
acquaintance for many years. He
was universally we'll liked and was
one of the most highly respected citi-
zens of the city.
August Gamm was born Aug. 8.
1927, in Mecklenburg, Germany. He
married Sophie Bliefernicht April II,
1852. The following day, he with his
bride, sailed for America, coming di-
rect to Watertown, where he had ever
since been active in business. He
was one of the pioneer settlers. The
deceased was we'll known in Lutheran
church circles, having been one Of, the
founders of St. Marks church in 1854
and had continued an able elder of
that church for many years. In Sc
curing and retaining the Northwestern
University for Watertown, he took
an active part and he has held various
positions of trust for the Lutheran
Synod, working in it's interest and ex-
tensive soliciting tours in the years
1868-69. The deceased helped to build
the railroad into Watertown and at
that early period worked for 40 cents
per day, having come to Watertown
from Milwaukee by OK team. He
was stone cutter by trade and was en-
gagged in that trade here many years.
In the yaer 1860, he opened grocery
store with his brother. In 1883 he
opened crockery store in which bus
mess he was engaged up to death.
The deceased is survived by his
widow, and seven children, August J.
Gamm, Milwaukee; Mrs. Rev. A.
Toepel, Iron Ridge; John G. Gamm.
Miss Sophie Gamm, Fred w. Gamm
of this city; Herman Gamm of Green
Bay; Rev. Julius Gamm of La Crosse,
also twenty eight grandchildren and
two. great grandchildren.
The funeral will be held Friday af-
ternoon at 2 O'Clock at St. Mark S
church. 1t is requested that flowers
be omitted.

Genuine Surprise.

A large number of the friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Frank gathered
at their residence last evening and gave
that estimable couple real genuine
surprise. The time was spent very
pleasantly in social converse and intel
lectual diversions. The good things
were there in an abundance. The
surprise was under the auspices of the
Ladies of st. Marks Lutheran church
who know how to make a success OF
such a gathering.
