appears that the enthusiasts visited a

asked him if he had voted, to which

and finally got him to consent to go
to the polls to vote at least for the
two men, one of whom was a home

thusiasts visited the saloon keeper
again and asked him if he had fulfilled
his promise. The dispenser of wet
goods replied in the affirmative. Not
being satisfied that his intelligence OF

they asked him whom he had voted

A Musing CyniC.

We have looked up the expenses
paid by the city in the matter of the
Silsby fire engine and find that all of
the expenses of the test up to the time
of the appearance of Mr.. Langdon re-
Gently have been bourne by the city.
Such expenses should have been bourne
by the Trust for the city was under
no obligation to pay a cent until the
fire engine was turned over to the city
in serviceable condition. The in
cldent under consideration calls to
mind a little history in connection
with the Silsby engine.
A few years ago, the engine was
rebuilt at the shop of the Watertown
Manufacturing company in this city
the work being done by Messrs. Rice
hert and Boardman and was satisfac
tory. They did all that they agreed
manner and in 80 days, perhaps, from
the time the engine was turned over
to them the machine was again IN
service and the bill for labor and
material was paid. Quite a contrast
with the methods of the so-called
trust whose representative was man
known as Miller. There has now been
either eigth or ten tests of the engine
since its return from the factroy. each
of which, except the last demonstrated
beyond controversy that the engine
was not serviceable and the city
should not bear the expense of the
tests which should be charged back to
the trust, which had it returned the
engine in serviceable condition
would not have been necessary. The
matter, we understand, has been re-
ferred to the Committee on Fire which
has not as yet made a report, but it
is expected that the committee will
recommend that the expenses for the
test be charged to the trust, which in
the judgement of many was respon-
sible for the unserviceable condition
of the engine when it was sent back
to the city for reasons not difficult to
surmised-and let the trust bear the
expense incurred, by he who fiddled. -
The mayor and committee no doubt
desire, that the matter be settled
and, the sooner it is done the better.

Municipal Ownership.

There are of course two sides to
most if not all questions. Our atten
tion is'called to the wave of municipal
ownership that spreads rapidly few
years ago and which only at this time
has shown signs of abatement if it
really has. A writer in Superior
paper concludes letter like this:
81 can see where in a country like
Germany, where city officers are
trained experts on municipal problems
it might be safe to take chance.

kee, and Miss nellie Golitele Miller,

mony was. performed by Rev. D. c..

was followed by reception at the
home of the groom's parents, 5O6
North Eighth street. The newly
married couple left on the Pioneer
Limited last night for their wedding
tour and will visit Yellowstone Park

The groom, who was born and raised
here, was for five years employed in
the Eberle drug store and later for
three years was associated with r.
H. Brennecke in the drug business.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Twelve Less Than We're Enrolled

Difference Will Be More Than
Made Up Today School Board
Held Regular Meeting Last Night.

A regular meeting of the board of
education was held at the council room
last evening. Aside from the routine
work, there was but little business of
Importance transacted.
W. P. Roseman, superintendent of
schools, made the following report on
the enrolment in the different grades
of the city schools, the same having
opened yesterday.
No. Eighth grade, ~; high
school, 220; tuition pupils in the high
school, 80.
No. 2-First grade, 43; Second
grade, 26; Third grade, 81; Fourth
grade, 80; Fifth grade, SO; Sixth
grade, 26; Seventh grade, 40; total,
234.
No. 3-First grade, "a; Second
grade, 27; Third grade, 80; Fourth
grade, %; Fifth grade, 81; Sixth
grade, %; Seventh grade, %; total,
1856.
No. 4-First grade, 81; Second
grade, "A; Third grade, 43; Fourth
grade. Al; Fifth grade, AZ; Sixth
grade, Al; Seventh grade, 80; Eighth
grade, 80; total, 1898; total number of
children enrolled in all of the public
schools, 1910.
According to verbal report by the
sueprintendnet, this total number is
twelve less than the enrolment a day
later last year. 1t is expected that
the increase today will considerably
more than make up the difference.
The committee, on buildings and
grounds reported favorably to the in
stalling of private telephone system
to connect the several school buildings
of the city at cost approximately $40.
The report of the committee, which
also made other recommendations, was
adopted.
The committee on finance made a
report on the estimated expenses of
maintaining the schools of the city
for the current year. The largest
item in the bill of expense was that
of teachers salaries, amounting to
SIT, 000. The total expense amounts
to the nice little sum of S24, 347. 90.
A resolution was introduced by
Commissioner Viebahn instructing the
city superintendent to report at the
next regular meeting of the board
plan for the instruction of vocal music
in the schools under competent sup
ervisor and recommend such person.
Supervisor Voss referred to the matter
as a fad and evidently other members
considered it in the same light, for
the resolution was speedily referred
to the committee on teachers and in
struction.
Commissioner Viebahn introduced
another resolution instructlng the
committee on teachers and instruction
to report at the next meeting a plan
for organizing an evening school for
the fall and winter months. The
resolution was adopted tby the board.

4 SONG RECITAL BY
Mr.. ALFRED BERGER
YOUNG MILWAUKEE VOCALIST

Young Man of 22 Years.

The members of the Euterpe club
instrumentality in giving to quite a
number of the citizens of Watertown
rare musical treat at the Masonic
hall last evening. 1t was in the ma
ture of a song recital by Mr.. Alfred
Bergen of Milwaukee, young vocal
list of rare attainments, who delighted
his audience beyond measure, as was
amply illustrated in the generous ap-
plause that greeted each number.
Considering his age, Mr.. Berger is
truly a wonder, possessing sweet
voice of wide range and unusual ex-
preston. Notwithstanding the fact
that Mr.. Bergen is but twenty two
years of age, he leaves soon for New
York City, where he will sing in st.
Luke's church, one of the largest and
wealthiest of the country. The fact
is appreciated there that he has a
wonderful voice. Those who heard
Mr.. Berger last evening marveled in
his clearness of tone and expression.
He was forced to respond to several
enuOres and after the rendition of the
program he was recalled twice and
the only regret of the appreciative
audience was that he could not remain
all night. it is understood that after
remaining in New York City tor
time, Mr.. Berger will go to Europe to
further develop himself in voice cul-
ture. He certainly has brilliant
future before him and those who en-
joyed the pleasure of hearing him last
evening are loud in their praise of the
Euterpe club for it's instrumentalIty
in furnishing such a rare musical
treat.
Mr.. Lurvey, also of Milwaukee,
presided as accompanist. His playing
was that of a master hand and assisted
very materially in the effectiveness
and general success of the recital.
The following excellent program, in
some numbers of which the vocalist
was very dramatic, was rendered:

NEW COMMERCIAL
EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS TO
OUR LEADING HOSTELRY.
Ten New Guest Rooms to Be Ad-
ded-To Extend Dining Room Is
Feet-TO Erect Canopy and Yer
dndd-Will Repaint and Repdper
Modern in Every Respect.

improvements, involving the eXpen-
diture of large sum of money, are
to be made on the New Commercial
Hotel. In fact the preliminary work
was commenced yesterday under the
supervision of Carl huenefeld, who
has the contract for the work, which
will be rushed TO completion and by
the time snow flies Watertown' lead
ing hostelry will present an entirely
different aspect and be in keeping
with the development and improve
ment of the city.
The decision to remodel the hotel
was recently reached by Mrs. Joseph
Brandenberg, who, it might be said
is carrying cut the plans outlined
about year ago by her husband be-
fore his death. Mrs Brandenburg.
who gives the management of the
hotel her personal attention, is thor
Cughly business lady who believes in
the future of Watertown and therefore
proposes to make her hostelry an ideal
one and thoroughly up to- date.
The plans are quite extensive Iii
their scope and will mean when car
ried out transformation scene that
will not only be appreciated by the
citizens of Watertown, but by the
travelling public. Perhaps the most
needed and most extensive among the
will be the addition
to the hotel of ten guest rooms, all
of which will be modern, being sup
piled with baths, etc. The dining
room is to be extended 25 feet, which
will give ample room. In fact its
will then be 25x50 feet.
Six large plate glass windows are also
to be placed in this room.
Mrs. Brandenburg also states that
among the improvements to be made
is one that will add greatly to the
beauty of the place. If she can get
a permit from the city council, she
proposes to erect large canopy in
front, extending from the building to
the curb and from the ladies entrance
to the main entrance. 1t is proposed
to build the same of glass and steel.
The hotel Office will also come in
for It's share of attention and will be
remodeled in such a way as to be in
keeping with the other improvements.
In fact it will modern in every par
ticular. 1t is also proposed to erect
a veranda in front of the hotel. In
to the improvements above
enumerated, the hotel will be repaint-
ed from top to bottom, inside and out.
Paint and papering will not be spared
in adding to the appearance of the
New Commercial. New furnishings
will also be installed In short, it
will be made home-like and inviting to
the travelling public.
Mrs. Brandenburg appreciates the
fact that a modern hoUel IS an impor-
tant factor in the welfare of the city
and such enterprise should receive the
hearty encouragement of the citizens
of WatertoWn.
