WORTH
TO ADVERTISERS
Will Back Statement That 1t
Has as Large d City Cir
CulatiOn as Any.

The Leader management is not given
much to footing its own horn," de-
string that its work will testify of it's
value as journal and advertising
medium. 1t will venture the asser-
ton, however, that it is read every
morning by at least 1900 people. 1t
will go still further and assert that if
any doubt its worth as an advertising
medium, the management will leave
it to a committee of disinterested
citizens to determine whether or not
it has not the largest city circulation
of any Watertown paper. This boast
is made despite the fact that the daily
was only established on the 18th, Of
last April-less than three months.
The Leader subscription is growing
daily. If the reading public regard
it as good news publication, the adj
vertisers will certainly learn where
to place their money judiciously.
The Leader will make statement in
the course of a few weeks relative to
its merits as an advertising medium
that will surprise the public. The
books of the Leader are open and any
interested business men is invited to
call at the office at any time to satisfy
themselves on this advertising probl-

Hon. Henry C. Adams, affectionate-
" known by his friends as .'Cully,'
passed away yesterday morning at the
Auditorium Annex in Chicago, after a
brief illness, having been take i'll
while on train enroute home from
Washington, D. C. He had been in
ill health for a long time and there is
no doubt but that he overtaxed himself
during the long term of congress which
terminated on the Goth inst.
The first news of the sad event, was
a telegram received by William G.
Stone which was soon made public
and the universal preston was one
of deep regret, for all appreciated the
fact that "Cully' Adams was no Or
binary man and had been an able rep
resentative in Congress, giving his
talent and best efforts in behalf Of his
constituents and the future will de-
monstrate that on the whole, he was
right in the positions he took on
public questions and he will receive
the credit denied him by those who
would have discredited him while alive.
The departed was born in Verona,
Oneida county, New York, in 1850,
and came with his parents to this state
when he was a mere child, they locat-
ing in Dane ounty, in which county he
always made his home. He was edu-
of 10
county and graduated from Albion
Academy and the State University.
His tastes were agricultural and he
followed agricultural pursuits and no
doubt, was one of the best informed
farmers in this or any other country
and did more to advocate thier inter
ests than any man ever in public life
in the United States.
He held many offices of public trust;
member of the assembly from the
Madison district, his home, state
superintendent of public property,
dairy and food commissioner and was
a member of the fifty eighth congress
and reelected to the fifty-ninth and
made record of which his constitu-
ents should have been proud.
He was good speaker and cam
paigner when his health would permit
and now that he is gone, we shall
bear only words of praise spoken of
"Cully" Adams, who no doubt had
faults, but also large virtues-and one
who knew him can truthfully say,
that he tried to do the right, and if
he made mistakes he no doubt regret
ted them more keenly than any one
ese-and if he is judged by an impair
tial standard, his virtues largely out
weigh is failings. He was clean NOR
ally, kind husband, good neighbor and
friend.

GOOD PEN PICTURE
PHOENIX ENGINE
DISPLAYED AT CIGAR STORE
OF SCHLEUTER BROS.
Covers the Subject of the Difficult
ties With Old No. 2-CdrtOOn
Represents Local Authorities
Looking for the BLOW. It's the
Work of a Genius.

Yesterday, a large pen picture was
displayed in one of the front windows
OF the cigar store of Schlueter Bros.
1t was the work of genius and he
fully covered his subject. On the
picture was a very good representation
of the Phoenix fire engine No. 2. about
which there has been considerable con-
troversy for the past four months, and
it appears that the end is not yet.
Straw is represented as having
partially crawled into the smoke stack
his head and shoulders being within
he stack from which, the following is
supposed to have been heard. "She
never used to blow At the rear
of The engine near the fire box stands
Stapleton, with large bottle in one
of his hands suggesting that they,
"Try my remedy" Bursinger, fat
and happy, stands beside and facing
the machine and he expresses the
opinion, Il think it is the gibbs. -
On the fence in front and near the
pole of the engine is Otto, who is yell
ing: ''She is all right Next to
him is Kehr who is roaring, "I'H
keep away from her." Then comes
Biefeld who is saying. ''She burns
too much coal" and then Mulberger
who is making proclamation of the
fact, "We will not accept her" and
lastly Russell, not far from the ma
chine watching leak in hose coup
ling and calling attention to the fact
by saying, "Here is the blow, Char
ley" The picture attracted the
notice of many during the day and
occasioned many hearty laugh
Whoever conceived and drew the
picture is certainly a genius of con-
siderable ability and ought to be
drawing large salary as cartoon
list on some pictorial periodical.

the purpose of letting the contracts
for the erection of the new factory on
Washington avenue, north of the rail-
way tracks. The contracts were let
and work will be commenced in the
course of few days. In fact it will
be necessary, as the contract calls for
the competitor of the building by the
first OF October.
The main contract for the construc-
tion of the building was let to Mil
waukee concern, the name of which
it was impossible for the Leader to
learn last evening. Mr.. Volkmann
stated that he regretted that is was
impossible to give the contract to a
Watertown builder, but that it was
impossible, as there was a difference
of about 20 per cent, making about
81, 900.
The contract for the plumbing was
secured by Garrett j. Russell; for the
painting and glazing by VIM. C. Raue
& Sons, the concrete work by Tetzlaff
& Traeumer.
Thus another industrial institution
is assured for Watertown. The new
factory is to be 60x145 feet and will
give employment to about forty people
to start with. The concern comes
here from Milwaukee in order to Sc
cure more room for building purposes,
which it was impossible to secure in
the Cream City.

THE AUTOMOBILE
AND THE FARMRE
A Plea for Fair Play and
Plausible Reasons Given
on Both Sides.

Complaints are coming in from
various road districts in the state,
one at least southeast of Berlin about,
the manner in which the pathmasters
are repairing (O highways with the
evident purpose of making them i'm
pasasble for automobiles as possible.
The Journal has no automobile nor
has it a farm. But it is the friend
of both classes and would say word
toward harmony and fair play on
both sides. We have a communi-
cation from a town of Berlin farmer
in which the most radical language is
used, such as pronouncing the auto
public nuisance, which it certainly
is not. Some of the radical farmers
used to call the bicycle public nui-
sance. Now the farmer boys are
using them ten times more than the
city fellows.
We believe this will be repeated with
the auto and that in a comparatively
short time the now 'devil wagon
will become the docile and self-propell-
ing servant of the farmer generally.
Because some reckless road makes
himslef asnuisance to everybody along
the road, is it the wise policy to de-
nounce all auto men and to build roaC s
almost impossible, to spite them l?
Most assuredly not, all will say if
they think it over calmly. Therefore
the policy of some roadmakers who un-
questionably are doing this malicious
ly and in a wrong spirit of retaliation
deserve the condemnation of the same
public as much or even more than the
reckless chauffeur.
We might as we'll be killed quickly
by the auto as to be jolted to death
or have our necks broken by being
thrown out of our carriages on the
plowed ground and high "thank-ye-
mams'IS hich have been built south
east of this city in one road district.
Gentlemen, think it over and get
out our teams and obliterate those dis
graceful distractions to all road
traffic. Even your farmer neighbors
denounce your foolishness, vindictive
policy. In word, be fair and decent
and don't think by being mean about
this you can get even with few auto
drivers who unquestionably deserve
punishment. There's way to punish
them. They are all numbered and
registered at Madison. Take the
number of the bad chauffeurs and
arrest them. But don't make your
roads so bad that you yourselves have
to come to town over 50 ne other route
to save being smashed up over your
abominable spite roads. In a word,
be fair. Two wrongs never made one
right and never will, and you, irate
farmers, know it.-Beriln Journal.

Kinu AIfonso's Prophecy.

"Was it ever foretold by fortune

was asked the queen of Spain.
only by friend of mine, who was
doing my hand and looking in tea
cup. She said that I would be on
throne; though I didn't think any
thing about it until after my betrothal.
But it was quite odd about the king.
When he went to Grenada some time
ago and visited the Sacre Marie they
wanted him to kiss a stone in one or
the underground caves, which is sup
posed to insure your marriage within
year He refused at first, because
he said he wouldn't be able to choose
a wife because of being in love, so he
would prefer not to lose his liberty so
soon. But finally he consented to
please them, and not long afterward
we met. Now he says he is very glad
he kissed the stone"
