The following is copy of letter
received in reply to one sent by the
Leader to Prof w. K. Weissbrodt
asking him for information as to an
item which appeared in the Milwaukee
papers relative to the superintendency
of the Home for the Feeble Minded:
Rev. R. A. Niebelschuetz was
appointed third collector and solicitor
for the building fund in particular and
representative in general. He will
speak for the cause outside of Illinois
and Wisconsin in which states we
already have two men in the field.
The soliciting for the building fund
must be rushed if we are to start
building next spring as it is now
contemplated. He is not to be super
intendent, nor will he have anything
to do with the management of the
institution; that was the express reso-
luton of the board.

Editor WatertOWn Leader:
Is it not so dusty in this city every

hardly see across Main street?
The writer wonders why people going
to church Sundays take the side
streets upper and lower bridges. No
questions asked-don' have to-
Those who are compelled to go to
the postoffice Sundays or to church if
they go the length of Main street
are often busy the remainder of the

1t is an open secret that some claim
that sprinkling wagon freezes dur
ing such weather as provided the last
half of March during which time the
air on Main street was full of fly
ing manure. A little heat from an
oil torch would overcome the objection
and the expense would be practically
nothing.
Many days during the late fall, one
could hardly see on account of the
dust in the air and were forced to go
it blind and there was fear that dire
results to health would follow. The
things which have brought into men S
lives the most lasting pleasure and
satisfaction, have been the things
which were done for the common
good. Will the city authorities see
that the streets are sprinkled on windy
days fall and spring?
The attention of the members of the

Let US have peace, less dust and

CHANGE IN NAME OF PUBLICATION
Republican Now is the WdtertOWn
Ledder-There'Sd Reason.

With the current issue of this pa
per, which heretofore has been known
as the Watertown Republican, the
name is changed to that of the
Watertown Leader, under which head
ing it will be published in the fu-
ture. For nearly forty six years it
was known by the name discarded and
it is with considerable regret upon
the part Of the publishers that the
change was made. 1t is simply and
solely business proposition to meet
conditions that made the change nee
essary for the financial success of the
paper. It's policy and political senti-
ments will continue in the future to
be the same as they have been in the
past, an earnest advocate for good
government and high moral ideals in
civic and social life The paper has
been greatly improved under the pres
ent management and nothing will be
| left undone to make it mirror of
the best thought in the city land sur
rounding country.

Friday evening, Log Camp M w.
of A. gave a reception to Wood Camp,
R. A, its auxiliary, at Odd Fellows
hall. There was a large attendance
of the members of both camps, beside
many invited guests. Addresses ex-
planatory of the objects and purposes
of both organizations were delivered
by P. Fl. Swift for the Woodmen and
Mrs. c. A. Kading for the Royal
Neighbors, both being introduced by
H. w. Stoecker, district deputy, who
acted as chairman and in his introduct-
ory remarks made many happy hits
which were enjoyed by the audience.
Both addresses were we'll received and
heartily applauded, especially that of
Mrs. Kading, who proved to be an
orator and very witty and interest
ing speaker and at home on the rost-
rum. After the speaking, couple
of hours were pleasantly spent in
playing cinch, social converse and
partaking of the good things prepared
for the occasion. Both organizations
are growing rapidly, there being ad-
ditions to the membership at each
meeting.

SURVEY FOR NEW TROLLEY LINE ON
Engineers at Preliminary Work Be-
tween Here and johnson Creek.

The engineers of the Milwaukee
Heat Light and Traction company
have been busily engaged the past
week in making permanent survey
of its proposed trolley line from this
city to Johnson Creek, jefferson and
Fort Atkinson. There is no doubt
but that the line will be pushed
from Oconomowoc to this city at an
early date for it will be for the
interest of the company to have the
line in operation at the earliest pos
sible date and none need be surprised
to see cars running on Main street
before snow flies. AS soon as the
line is completed to Watertown, work
on the extentions south, west and
north will be begun and there is no
doubt but that by year from next
fall the extensions will be we'll under
way if not completed. 1t means much
to Watertown, for it will be on the
map and take on new life, grow and
prosper.

interesting Figures.

Some idea of the work done last
week on the Leader may be gathered
from the following statement: The
form of the paper was changed from
six to seven column quarto sheet,
several new advertisements set and 25
feet of live local matter set, contain
ing 300 inches, 2,4OO lines, Is, 800
words and 88, 800 individual types.
The type setting was performed on
Simplex type setting machine, operat-
ed by person who was unacquainted
with the machine-in fact had never
operated any kind of type setting
machine. If any mistakes appeared,
and there were several, it was owing
to the rush of business and unfamiliar
ity with the machine.

CHICAGO INTERNATIONAL THEATRE

The International Theatre, Chicago,
has been enjoying an unprecedented
business. In fact, the patronage of
this popular house since Manager w.
S. Cleveland inaugurated his greater
vaudeville" has increased until it is
now the leading vaudeville theatre in
Chicago. The reason is found in the
high quality and novelty of the acts
presented. Beginning Monday, April
8, another galaxy of star performers
will be seen. The ultra attraction
will be Hill and Silviany, acknowl-
edged to be the most sensational
ishes and electrified the French and
Austrian audiences before coming to
this country and their great acts will
be produced in their entirety. During
the recent past this pair of talented
performers broke all records for lor G
runs at Hammerstein' S theatre IN
New York. Another European act
will be presented by Green Bros, the
marvellous comedy acrobats and Bat
Jugglers who weres hidden to amuse
the eccentric Shah of Persia. Caro-
line Kelley McCord and company in a

which is badly needed. If the state

like unto the Son of man. Rev. l

like unto the Son of man." Rev. /
II, IS.
In the church, one will see those
candlesticks burning during divine
service and are like unto the Son of
man on His cross in the midst.
1t is impossible for any reasonable
person reading Holy Scriptures to
assert that candles are displeasing to
Him who ordered them in divine
worship. And why should they be
distasteful to any Christian soul,
when Christ uses them himself for
symbolizing communication in pro-
phecy?
Candles are only used in worship as
symbols, but very significant symbols
of Him who is the light of the
world; and it is presumption to say
the least, for any proffessed Chris
tian to be at varieance with that which
God has ordered for the Jews, that
which Christ used in prophetical vision
and the at which the ancient church
has preserved through the age from
the earlier time.

MAY 4TH IS ARBOR AND BIRD DAY

MADISON, WIS, March 3O.-The
state superintendent of public instruc-
tion will shortly issue the annual for
Arbor and Bird day The book has
been prepared by Miss Maud Barnett
librarian in the office of the state sup
erintendent. On one of the first pages
is printed the proclamation recently is
sued by Gov. Davidson as follows:

mony with established custom, l, James
o. Davidson, governor of the state
of Wisconsin, designate eriday, May
"a, 1906, as Arboraday Withaassing
years, interest in forestry is increas-
ing, due, no doubt, largely to senti-
ment stimulated by Arbor day. 1t is
fitting that the natural beauty of the
state should be preserved and enhan-
ced. We are apt to forget flowers
and trees and the beauties of wild
nature in the present day rush for
wealth.
To bring our children to a realiza-
tion of the beauties of trees and flow
ers; to instruct them in the economic
value of things in nature; to instill in
to their hearts a healthful love for
the things of earth; to engender in
our citizens great er civic pride, it
is recommended that this day be obser-
we'd by our educational institutions by
; the planting of green things, and by
such instruction, ceremonies and exer-
cises as will impress upon all the
great Importance of this noble work.

NORTHWESTERN BOYS
PREPARE FOR SEASON
BASE BALL WILL BE THE MAIN
STAPLE OF THE SPORTS.
Hard Schedule BefOfS Them for the
Present SedSOn-Will Appear in
Handsome New UnifOrmS-LOOk
for Championship by Hard and
Strenuous Practice Work.

The base ball season has again
made it's appearance at the North
western University and all over the
campus may be seen boys indulging in
the great sport and pastime with the
greatest interest With such a base
ball spirit and enthusiasm, nothing but
fourishing and successful team can
be put on the diamond. 1t is true
enough that the University team is
laboring under great difficulties as to
pitcher and cannot enter the race
with probably as much confidence as
last year or be as positive of the cham
pionship as some of the other seasons.
But this will put the boys through
harder and more strenuous practice
and to have the same success as
other years. There are still players
of the last years championship team
back, who will again try to make the
team a winning one. For the vacant
places large number of candidates
are practicing hard every day and will
undoubtedly develop into first-calss
players. Wendland, the great catch
er, will captain the team and will save
no energy in developing good strong
team. The other veteran players are ::
E. Kowalke, the first base,
Woyahn, second base; Diehl, third
base; Weighorn, center field; Luetke,
right field; F. Motzkus, the star half
back of last years foot ball team and
G. Luetke, are strong candidates for
pitcher. The slippery little quarter
back, "Eckie" Zeisler. will most like
ly hold short. Now with this mater
ial and hard and faithfully, arctice
there is no reason why the Northwes-
tern should not be represented by a
strong team.
Last years diamond will be again
used, but will be greatly improved on
account of it's newness. The whole
diamond will probably be plowed and
made into " skinned diamond.
AS to the games this year, it may
be said that some very hard and
interesting games have been arranged
by the management. So far, games
have been scheduled with Notre Dame
University, University of Beloit, Mil
ton College, Marquette College,
Whitewater Normal, and Lawrence
University.
This will give Watertown base ball
lovers and fans an opportunity to see
some of the best college teams of the
West play.
1t may be said that the team will
appear in new suits this season, of the
Chicago gray color and with N. W. U.
in old English blue letters on the
| shirts

The question is often asked, Why
has not sidewalk been constructed
out to the Oak Hill cemetery? The
answer is, Because the property own
ers have never been notified to cons
truct one. Street signs or names on
streets at the intersections are very
conspicuous by their absence in more
than one locality in the city-and the
few there were are growing less IN
number each year.
