NOW PROSPERS IN
NEW YORK CITY
E. G.. BROENNIMANN A COM
MISSION MERCHANT.
Former WdtertoWn Young Man
Likely to Be Made QUE of the
Managers of Produce Exchange
Started in Life BY Selling
NeWspdperS--PrOud Of Him.

The people Of WatertoWn will be
ity and success of Edward G. Broenni-
mann who is now a successful COM
mission merchant in the city of New
York with offices in the Produce EX-
change building in that city. Al
though young man, his associates
in the Produce Exchange have SO
much confidence in his ability and
business acumen, that they propose
to make him one of the managers OF
the exchange, a position requiring
judgment and firmness. Mr.. Broenni-
mann is WATERFOWL boy and loyal
to his home city. He started in life
by selling newspapers, graduated
from our high school and has by his
unaided efforts and although young
man as has been stated, he has won
high and honorable place in the
business center of the country and is
respected and honored. He represents
the Globe Milling company of this
city placing 30, 600 barrels annually
of it's products in the market of New
York and vicinity. This represents
only very small percentage of his
business as he has the New York
agency for one of the largest Touring
mills in the United States, having 9
daily capacity of 5000 barrels; also
large Ohio winter wheat mill. Il
is source of qualification and pride
to his friends at home that Mr.
Broennimann is making success il
the greatest commercial center in thi!
country and they will watch his pro.
gross with interest and satisfaction.

Carl SChurZ'S Encounter,

Mr.. Carl Schurz devotes the eighth
chapter of his "reminiscences of a
Long Life in McClure's to descrip-
ton of his adventures in Paris after
his flight with Kinkel from his own
country And these adventures are
surely exciting. Schurz almost with
out money, struggling along in hotel
garni in the Latin Quarter, trying to
keep body and soul together by cor
respondence with German socialistic
papers, was followed by the spies of
Louis Napoleon, just then planning
his coup d'etat which was to make
him Emperor of the French. Mr..
Schurz, all unsuspecting that his re-
evolutionary record would make him of
interest to Napoleon, went placidly
on his way until he was arrested and
thrown into a cell with a common
thief from which he was taken only
to be warned to leave the country i'm
mediately. This incident. exciting
as it is, is only a small part of the
good things in this instalment. There
are charming descriptions of life in
the Latin Quarter and of the writer
encounters with famous artists and
poets of that period. Mr.. Schurz is
always entertaining, but in this in
stalment he outdoes himself, and one
regrets that it is not twice as long as
it is.

QUERY IS WILL THE
PHOENIX RISE AGAIN
Doubts as to Whether Old Fire
Engine Will Ever Be Made
SerViCedble Again.

There is a fable that bird called
the Phoenix would rise again from the
ashes when destroyed by fire, and the
query is quite general in the city as
to the Phoenix Fire Engine and some
doubts are expressed as to its ever
being made serviceable. 1t looks very
much as if the American La France
Fire Engine Co. was playing horse
with this city in regard to the repairs
on the Phoenix which is now in the
same condition that it was over three
months ago when received from the
shop, unserviceable, and of no earthly
use as machine to fight fire should it
be needed.
On May 4th, the company wrote to
the fire department a letter of which
the following is copy.
eve have a letter today from our
factory, at Seneca Falls, advising US
that new pump is being prepared
and will be shipped to you in the near
future. AS soon as received, let US
know, and we will have Mr.. Miller
come up and put it on. -
The pump was received but experts
here say it was the same pump that
came with the engine, which was too
small to supply the boiler with the
necessary supply of water to make
the engine serviceable. After waiting
some time for Mr.. Miller to come and
put the pump on, another letter was
received of which the following is a
copy:
"Your letter of May 10, 1906, at
hand. Mr.. Miller is at present in
! Texas, and we cannot say just how
soon we can have him at Watertown
to attach the new pump, but will see
that he gets there at the earliest pos
Sible moment that his engagements
will permit him. We conclude that
Mr.. Bursinger can attach this pump
should you be in a hurry to have the
engine in service.
1t will be noticed that there is quite
difference in the two letters and it
is now the 1st of June and Mr.. Miller
is in Texas possibly talking "horse
power and the old pump lies in the
engine house, the engine is of no
earthly account and in case of a fire
at home or in some nearby town we
would have no engine to send to their
aid as we could not spare the other
from the city.
Under the circumstances, the COM
mon council should compel the Ameri-
can La France Engine Co. to get a
hustle on itself "just for circum-
stances and have the Phoenix equip
ped with pump of sufficient capacity
to maintain steady water level with
out the use of a pail. Watertown
may be noted for fat geese and re-
tired farmers but they cannot be
fooled with a toy pump for fire en-
CINE.

TOOK A HEADER
THROUGH WINDOW
Stranger Under Influence OF
Liquor Does Damage at
j. B. Murphy Store.

One of the display windows at the
store of the j. B. Murphy Co. was
broken last evening shortly after tho
supper hour by an Individual whe
was decidedly under the influence of
liquor. 1t seems that the party, a
painter by trade, made an attempt to
enter the store, but found it impossi-
BILE to keep his equilibrium with the
disastrous result, to the window and
not to his head, that the former was
badly wrecked. One of the clerks
approached the Individual with the
demand that he remain till the arrival
of Mr.. Murphy. when he could
square himself. - The man under
the influence said he would concent
to the request as soon as he picked
up the broken glass.
The fragments were gathered to-
gether and the fellow started for the
alley to deposit them. But alas !!
That was the last seen of him.

MANUAL TRAINING
EXHIBIT At SCHOOL
Fine Illustration of What Nav
Be Done BY Grade Pupils
Oshkosh Work.

There is a manual training exhibit
in the high school building showing
what may be done along this line by
grade pupils. The work was done by
the pupils of the Oshkosh Public
Schools under the supervision of the
young men and women attending the
State Normal School.
The practical side of this phase OF
education is emphasized in the exhib-
it. 1t shows how useful young people
who have had this training may be-
come.
We believe that the city fathers
should plan to see this exhibit anc
give the introduction of manual train
ing into the Watertown Public Schools
serious consideration. Watertown is
too large and too progressive city
to be among the last in the state tC
introduce manual training in then
schools.

Class Large Crowd Out.

The matinee held Sunday under the
auspices of the Watertown Driving
club was a success in all that the
term implies, when it is taken into
consideration that it was the first
meet of the season. The field of
horses was not as large as was ex
pected. However, there were enough
to make the three events very inter
esting. The weather was most de-
lightful, making an ideal matinee
day. The attendance was large, con-
sidering the numerous counter-attrac-
tions. The pleasures were enllvened
by the appearance of Thacker' band,
which discoursed music between the
heats.
The free for-aIl developed much
interest. Ruth c., the stopper owned
by Theodore Roach of Lake Mills. won
easy money, taking three straight
heats, against two other competitors.
The race was for purse of 500, half
mile heats, best three in five.
The :15 class pace for purse of
$75, brought out the enthusiasm from
the admirers of the sport, for the
reason that two Watertown horses en-
tered. Loretta Summres, owned by
A. Cebell of this city, took first place,
while the other local horse, Nelsbee,
owned by DR.. T. F. Schinnick, took
full in taking the first heat, but fell a
little short in the others.
The | 20 class was also close and
exciting, but first money slipped
away from Watertown horsemen, go
ing to William Barr of Jefferson,
owner of Babe y Black Birch, owned
by Theodore Roach of Lake Mills,
took second, while Melwood, owned
by HI. M. Kronitz of this city, took
third money.

APPROVES ROOTS SPEECH.
London Times Graciously Pleased ia
Indorse It.

A cablegram from London saws. Tha
lines in an editorial article on Secretary
ROOTS speech at Kansas City notes with
pleasure that the Secretary gave full credit
to England for her share in the original
establishment of the Monroe doctrine as an
effective political arrangement
Mr.. Root says the Times "recognized
the truth of the matter with more explicit
ness than any other American statesman,
Just as Mr. Roosevelt Is the first President
who clearly and explicitly accepted the
View that the Monroe doctrine while as
sorting a privilege, also imposes cor
responding obligation. That is the only
practical deduction from the doctrine with
which Great Britain has any direct con-
Germ. 1t has never called in question the
political proposition, which it assisted In

danger of other people getting the South
American oyster while the United States Is
left with the shell, the Times says:
Possibly 1t is not altogether a coincf-
dence that this stirring appeal to the Amer
lean people is made just when the Amer
lean commissioners are visiting Berlin and
meeting German commercial experts In
negotiations which, however technical, are
serious and important. Mr.. Root may have
desired to intimate that there are limits to
the discussion, that encroachments upon
economic lines may assume a character SO

Rumors of Armed Bands.

"Rumors of armed bands, recruiting and
camping in the vicinity of sugar planta-
tons and towns are frequent. Invariably
investigation shows little or no foundation
for these rumors. The moderates report
to the officers that the liberals are recruit
ing and arming on one side of them, and
within an hour the liberals will report that
the moderates are recruiting and arming on
the other side. The only thing that seems
to be very clear is that each party would
prefer to see the United States remain in
permanent control rather than see its OPP
-ponents obtain the offices. The conduct of
the men since we arrived has been most
exemplary. They are sober, courteous and
dignified in their demeanor and have given
occasion for no complaints of any kind
All the marines but LOCO, as you know
have gone back to the United States Those
that are here seem to be very contented

but the most hearty cooperation from them

and battalions, and though this departure
seems to be little new to them, they are
falling into line very rapidly"

health of the command is most remarka bly,
good. There are hardly any men in the

of Lieut.. Wiley, with anything of any ac-
count. Wiley came here as a transport
quartermaster, visited a friend in the city
of Havana, nine miles away from the loca-

the yellow fever by wandering around the
streets after sunset. for it is between sun
set and daylight that these pests are most
active and dangerous. The latest news
from Lieut. Wiley Is that his disease is
very slight and the case is progressing
satisfactorily. 1t was found out that he
had it just as he was about to sail on the

does the job was found in his room. OF
course, he did not catch it from that one.
