SPACE PRIVILEGES
ARE GOING RAPIDLY
Merchants Building at Fair
Will Be Fitted-See
the Secretary.

Space privileges In the new Mer-
chants building at the inter-County
Fair grounds are going fast and those
who are contemplating contracting
for space had better make haste for
the best are going fast. Secretary
Mulberger informs the Leader that
the following merchants of the city
have secured space: D. & F. Kusel,
Chas. Fischer & Son, Hertel & Hoff-
mann, Mrs. Weiss, Wegemann,
Faber, Kaercher & Co., H. G. CRUDE
& Co., w. R. Thomas, Schempf Bros.
Co., Schempf Drug Co.
Some of the merchants are object
ing to the charge of $40 for space
privileges, arguing that the price
is high. The management of the fair
feels that it is very reasonable
charge especially the amount of ad-
vertising they will receive as a re-
salt of the investment and enterprise
shown. Several other merchants of
the city are figuring on contracting
for space and the chances are that
they will soon be ali taken. The
secretary will be at the fair grounds
this afternoon between 2 and ) 30
O'Clock to contract with those DESTROYS
of taking advantage of this excellent
opportunity OF advertising their bust

An Observation.

To disinterested outsider it looks
as if the trouble at Zion City was
over handling the funds, rather than
the spiritual leadership of the church.
When money becomes the main object
sought by any religious organization,
it's spiritual life soon disappears and
usefulness ends. The wonderful pro
gress made by the earlier christians
was due in large measure, to thier
poverty and humbIeness. When
church becomes rich and powerful
and it's members become self consci Gus
proud and arrogant it's usefulness in
saving men is at an end they are not
following Him who they profess to
worship according to the spirit He
taught and practiced. 1t is time,
that Dowie and VoIva and their fol-
lowers, were getting back to the
point from which they started and
think more of God and his Son and
less of money.

Naval Review.

Chas. J. Wenck is just in receipt
of letter from his son Edward E.,
who is seaman on the flag ship West
Virginia, but is studying to be gun

r. [. and contains a little informa-
ton that will be of interest to many
of the Watertown friends of the young
man. He says in part: 81 am in
the best of health. Write to me so

WHAT WILL DODGE
COUNTY DENIS Do?
RumOr of Independent Ticket
Seems Story is Not Well
Founded.

RumOrs have been reaching Water
town to the effect that war has
been declared in the democratic camp
in Dodge county as result of the re-
cent primary election. The rumors
have even gone so far as to have it
that an independent ticket would be
put in the field and the nominees dis
tributed geographically speaking In
more satisfactory manner. While 1t
has been known there has been some
dissatisfaction expressed with cou-
pie of the nominees, it is not probable
that a new ticket will be put in the
field merely to distribute the Offices
around the county more evenly, for
glance at the ticket and then at the
map will show that there is very
even distribution among the democra-
tic nominees. The official canvass
for Dodge county has not been COM
pleted as yet, but the Leader was as
tured by telephone last evening that
there is no doubt but that following
sicket will be nominated:
State senator, 18th district, Paul
o Husting, Mayville; member of as
sembly I'd district, John F. Hughes,
Reeseville; member of assembly 1st
district, Frank S. Bauer, LIE Roy
county clerk, Louis C. Pautsch, Chest

APOLLO CLUB HAS
BEEN REORGAN|zED
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING LAST
EVENING AT MASONIC.
Expect a Membership of at Least
Seventy-five--Of Officers Elected for
Ensuing Yedr-FirSt Concert of
Season to Be Given Tuesday.
Oct. 2.

A meeting was held at the Masonic
temple hall last evening for the pur-
pose of recognizing the Apollo club.
A reorganization was effected in the
election of the following officers:
President-C. E. Emmerling.
-president-Edward L. Schempf.
Secretary-Rev. 7. B. Thompson.
Treasurer Exner.
Librarian-Ralph Eberle.
Business committee H. T.
Eberle, Mrs. G. c. Lewis, Rev. M.
L. Eversz and DR.. Oscar Meyer.
Music committee-Mrs. c. R. Field,
J. w. Wiggenhorn, VIM. Sproesser
and F. w. Lehman.
While the subscription lists fer
membership were not all reported at
the meeting last evening, 1T was read
lily seen that the success of the club
is fully assured. From the lists so
far received, a membership of over
sixty is shown and it is expected that
that number will be swelled to seven
ty-five or more.
The action of the members of the
business and music committees in en-
gaging Prof. Daniel Protheroe as di-
rector of the club for the coming sea-
son Was unanimously approved. The
professor stands high in the musical
circles of Milwaukee. He is director
of Arion club, also the Lyric club
of his home city. He is also director
of the choir in the Central church of
Chicago, one of the foremost of that
city.
There was much enthusiasm shown
at the meeting last evening, there
being very good attendance despite
the extreme warm weather. 1t is
the plan of the club members to give
only two concerts during the coming
season, but they will concentrate
their efforts to make them even a
greater success than those of the
past The first is to be given on
Tuesday, Oct. End. Rehearsals will
begin in the very near future.
1t is most likely that the club will
use the Masonic temple hall as a
place of meeting. it is centrally To-
Gated and far more convenient for the
ladies than any other place IN the
city.

More Earthquakes to Come.

Meningitis is the disease affecting
the backbone Of the American con-
tinent, according to DR.. C. Willard
Hayes of the United States geological
survey. Mexico will be the next
county to be visited by a seismic
disturbance, is his prediction. In
discussing this topic, Dr. Hayes said
'"These mountains of what is called
the backbone of the American con-
tinent are among the newest in the
world. The earth's crust is thinner
along the line of these newer mountain
systems. The pressure of the i'm
mense weight of the mass is so great
that the earth is not solid inside. At
depth probably of fifteen miles
granite would flow like tar, because
Of the pressure. Now, IN the pro-
cesses of cooling and adjustment of
the crust to conditions within, there
come times when great strains &C
cumulate on the outer crust; some
thing has to give, and when the crust
at last, by sudden movement, ad-
justs itself to the new conditions,
there is slipping along the line of
a fault in it. This fault line is likely
to follow the course of one of the
newer mountain ranges. That is
what happened at San Francisco and
in Chill.
Earthquakes are caused in two
very different ways. One is by vol
canic activity; the other is by the
slipping of the earth's crust along
a fault line, readjusting it to the new
distribution of pressures. The vol
canic earthquake is caused by the
operation of forces lying much nearer
the surface, and, therefore, is more
local in its effects The earhtquak,
of most widespread effect comes from
deeper seated causes than volcani
activity. The Californian and Chilial
quakes We're not volcanic.

OLD S|LSBY ENGINE
DID EXCELLENT WORK
BETTER AT FIRE THAN 1T WAS
AT THE TESTS.
of Fire Department Well
Pleased With Showing M de at
Hddy Fire YeSterddy-Wdo 100
Pounds of Steam and 22O Pounds
Water Pressure.

1t was proven to the entire satisfac
tion of the members of the fire depart
ment and others interested that the
old Silsy fire engine is like wine
improves with age. The old fire
fighter did fine work yesterday. II
fact even better than at any of the
tests, when a short amount of hose
was used and yesterday, l, 400 feet OF
hose was pressed into service.
The occasion for the genuine test OF
the Silsby was a call sent in to the
department from box No. "a, calling
them to the premises of Joseph Hady,
on Concord avenue, out of the fire
hydrant district.
At the fire yesterday, Mr.. Hady s
barn and straw stack was destroyed
and for time his home was threaten
ed and had any kind of an east wind
been blowing, the chances are that
the gentleman S residence would have
met the same fate. AS it was, it
men to save the home. The loss is
estimated at about $500 and is said
to be covered by insurance. The origin
of the fire is somewhat of a mystery
and none yesterday could give any ex-
PLANTATION of how the fire started.
1t was due to a misunderstanding
that the old Silbsy engine "did the
work. yesterday, for the reason that
the city had not as yet accepted the
same from the American La France
Fire Engine Company, the matter of
acceptance having been deferred for
two weeks at the last regular meet
ing of the council. The fact that the
engine was taken out yesterday. makes
it imperative that the city shall accept
the engine now and it is fortunate
that the engine did the excellent work
that it did, for there can be no re-
grets and everybody was we'll pleased
with the old "war horse 1t seems
that Chief Carl Otto gave orders to
take out the No l. engine. When the
driver reached Main street, the old
Silsby had passed and was we'll on it's
way toward the scene of the fire.
1t was therefore decided to hang up
No. l and let the SIlsby do the bust
ness.
There was a Telling of joy at the
success of the work of the Silsby.
"She's fine and dandy said Chief
Otto yesterday afternoon. "The
engine did far better work than it did
at any of the tests Engineer Schmid t
in reply to query from the Leader
man as to the effectiveness of the
engine, said: cit worked fine. There
was 100 pounds of steam and 22O
pounds of water pressure. The water
pressure has been increased one and
one-fifIh. 1t threw fine stream and
would tear a hole clear through the
straw stack. This was an excellent
showing considering the fact that we
had laid, l 400 feet of hose, where at
the test the length of hose was much
Orter.'

At regular meeting of the Eagles

for charitable donation for the fur
nishing of room in the hospital to
be known as the Eagles Room. This
is in general accord with the policy of

New Commercial has also furnished a
room with sanitary furnishings and
modern conveniences. Above all, the
