Of the debts prior to 1847, there
remains outstanding and unpaid the
sum of S151 ,635. A part of this is
nearly one hundred years old. In
1847 the government borrowed S28, 23O, :
$50 and has paid the entire sum with
the exception of $3.50. After the ad-
mission of Texas and in settling up
the accounts of that transaction the
government issued five million dollars
of what became known as "Texan
Indemnity Stock" Of that amount,
twenty thousand has never been per-
sented for redemption.
1t will be remembered by the "old-
timers that during the administra-
ton of President Buchanan the govern
ment had to negotiate loan of twenty
million dollars and another of S18,-
Ais, 900 in 1861. The first loan, issued
in 1853, carried five per cent interest
and and bonds were sold at a small
premium, but the loan of 1861, bearing
six per cent was sold at an average
of SO. Of the first two thousand dol
lars and of the second five thousand
dollars, has never been accounted for
and is still carried on the books as an
indebtedness of the government.

Exciting Runaway.

One of the most exciting runaways
in Watertown in long time was that
INDUCED in Sunday evening by horse
owned by DR.. Arthur Meyer. The
animal which was hitched to a top
buggy, came to sudden stop on Officer
Bruegger's porch at 2O9 Milwaukee
street. After striking terror to those
on the porch, the horse continued it's
mad flight, but was finally caught and
placed under control. The horse start
ed its run when the doctor was in the
act of untying it. Small trees and
their guards were run over by the
horse in its flight and it Was by a
very close margin that little son of
Mr.. and Mrs. c. R. Blumenfeld was
saved from being in the path of the
runaway horse. Fortunately the
mother grabbed the child in time to
save it. At the Bruegger home, the
horse ran through a screen door,
carrying the same into the setting
room.

JUDGE GRIMM LAUDS MR.. QUARLES
On Matter of Union Labor Writ
Decision.

Jefferson. Wis.,, July 17.-Judge

labor strikes. When shown the re-
ports of the decision of Judge j. V.
Quales, annuling the injunction re-
Gently granted against the striking
molders of the Allis-C Chalmers COM
pany, he expressed himself as follows
| heartily endorse Judge Quarles'
ruling and his timely remarks relative
to the rights of non-union workmen
to sell their labor without interior
ence. Injunctions have heretofore
been too readily granted at the re-
quest of the employer, sometime a
strikers, on their part have often ex-
ceeded both their legal and moral
rights. Three things should be borne
in mind by strikers, employers and
the judge who may be called upon to
apply legal remedies: First, the right
to strike; second, the right to employ
or be enjoyed without interference,
and that is is primarily the duty
of the police power to protect all citi-
zens in the enjoyment of those rights.
Generally speaking, it is only in
cases when the police power or legal
remedy is inadequate, or when ire
parable injury will result, chat courts
should exercise their equitable powers
of injunction. The howl against gov
eminent by Injunction would never
have arisen if judges had been less
ready to enjon and had refused to
do SO except upon ample proof of the
necessity of resortlng to this, the most
sacred and wholesome writ in exis-
tence for the protection of human
rights.

BANKS Of STATE
SHOW INCREASE
Banking Business Continues
to Make Gains in
BddqerdOm.

The volume of business done in the
state banks of Wisconsin has made
substantial increase during the past
three months, according to statement
and comparison completed yesterday
by Commissioner of Banking Bergh.
The report shows an increase of $751;
769. 90 in the volume of business COM
pairing the condition of the banks on
June Is with the condition at the de te
of the previous report, April s. This
is not as large an increase as has been
shown in the last few reports, but it
is accounted for by the fact that this
is not the busiest season of the year
in financial circles. The next follow
ing report will be effected by the be-
ginning of the movement of crops and
will doubtless show a much larger in
crease of business.
The report shows that the total re-
sources of the 29S banks under the su-
pervison of the state department is
$107, 995, 1893 25, this being the condi-
ton on June Is. On March s, the
date of the previous report, the total
resources of the state bank was $107,-
1T, 623.27.
Among the items of resources that
increased since the last report, the
largest is loans and discounts, the in
crease being over 81, 500, 900. This
shows that the banks are getting their
money loaned out at interest, and pre-
diets prosperity for the financiers.
There was a decrease of over 81, 000,-
300 in the sum due from other banks,
showing that the bankers are getting

nOunCeS His Candidacy
For the Office.

At the primary election to be he Id
in September, it will be necessary for
the democratic electors of Dodge
county to place in nomination a candi-
date for district attorney. Charles
A. kading of this city. is an aspirant
for the nomination and if the demo
Gratis of Dodge county are wise, they

years he taught school in his native
county to earn money to defray his ex-
penses in securing an education to pre-
pare himself for his life work. For
the past six years he has built up a
successful and lucrative law practice
in the city of WATERFOWL, being the
senior member of the law firm of

ergy, application and painstaking fid-
city to the interests of his clients,
demonstrated that he is honest and

Good Advice Given.

Two young ladies in row boat on
Rock River at Watertown Tuesday
evening were capsized by the waves
of passing gasoline launch and one
of them, Miss Mile Scherburth. II,
of Milwaukee drowned. The other
young lady was rescued.
The practice of sitting bolt upright
in a narrow boat when waves are like
ly to overtrun it is a most dangerous
one. In times of danger the lower
one can get the body in boat the
more difficult it becomes for waves
to overturn it. Another valuable
point to remember is to keep hold of
the boat when overturning, as once
away from it, it is nearly impossible
for a person who cannot swim to re-
gain it.

AUGUST HUTTNER IS
UNDER $500 BOND
APPEARED IN JUSTICE COURT
YESTERDAY P. Nj.
Held to the Circuit Court Under
$500 Bond-Chdnge of Venue
From StdCy'S to Henze'S Court
No Witness For Defendant Sworn
Plea of Self Defense.

The case of the state against Aug
ust Huttner, charged with assault
with intent to do great bodily harm
to the person of John Hefty, was call
ed for 80 o'clock in Justice Stacy's
court yesterday afternoon.
The assault of which Huttner is al
legged to have made occurred at the O.
Donnell saloon and boarding house at
the corner of Main and Washington
street on the night of July Bird.
In Justice Stacy's court Attorney
Harlow Pease appeared for the defen-
dant. The defendant made and filed
an affidavit of prejudice on the part
of the justice and asked for change
of venue. The request was granted
and the papers transferred to the court
of Justice Henze, where the adjourn
ed preliminary examination was taken
up later in the afternoon.
District Attorney Davies appeared as
prosecuting attorney, while the inter-
est of the defendant We're looked after
by Attorney Harlow Pease. The only
BUTLER, Drs. Simpson and Field, who
attended the injured man. and John
Hefty, the man who received the in
juries.
Hefty, in appearing on the stand,
told a story to the effect that on the
night of July 3rd, at about 10 o'clock
while on his way home, he dropped
into the O'Donnell place. He added
that Huttner suggested a game of
smear; that Huttner, Hefty and
another man sat down to a table
to indulge in a game. Hefty claimed
that during the progress of the game,
Huttner cheated and that he refused
to play. His testimony went further
and he continued by saying that he
arose from his seat at the table and
started to walk away; that as he did
so, Huttner followed, calling him vile
names. lie said he told Hefty to
keep quiet, but that he (Huttner)
continued to call him vile names.
Hefty added that he slapped Huttner
with the back of his hand and walked
toward the bar. Hefty testified that
he tried to avoid further trouble, but
the next thing he knew he had been
cut and was bleeding. He added
that he believed he was also cut
across the back, as there was cut in
his coat, which had not previously
been there.
DIR. Simpson testified that the
wounds were evidently made by some
sharp instrument. Officer BUTLER S
testimony told of the arrest on the
night of the cutting affair, also of
the fact that after the arrest of HUT
ner, when he was searched, a razor
with blood stains on the blade, was
found on Huttner's person.
Mr.. Pease, for the defendant, put
no witnesses on the stand. He made
strong plea for the discharge of the
prisoner on the ground of self defense
claiming that Hefty is a larger than
Huttner, indicating that when the
case comes up in the higher court, the
plea of self defense will be made.
Justice Henze bound the prisoner
over to the circuit court under $500
bonds, which is just one half the
amount at the preliminary examina-
tion in Justice Stacy's court.
