AN ERROR OF STATEMENT WAS MADE
Town of Milford Matter Did Mr..
HeitZ Injustice.

The Leader was trifle misinformed
in the particulars of the illegal voting
case in the town of Milford, which
appeared in yesterday mornings issue
of the paper. 1t seems that Frank
Heitz and Sam Brown were opposing
candidates for assessor in their town.
Heitz was elected by the small ma
jority of one vote. Friends of the
defeated candidate were of the opinion
that one of the votes cast for Heitz
was illegal, the same supposed to
have been cast by Gustav BENIN,
who was arrested on complaint of
Thomas Tetterby, and not on COM
plant of the defeated candidate, as
was announced in the Leader. What
was worse, it was said that Z Heitz
was the man arrested for the illegal
voting. 1t was one of the unavoid-
able errors Of statement that are
bound to occur in the publication of a
daily paper, which the Leader will
try to avoid in the future as much as
possible. 1t did Mr.. Heitz an injus-
tice and the Leader hopes that gentle
man will overlook the mistake this
time and accept the correction with
a feeling of charity and friendliness,
for it is not the intent or desire to
injure that excellent gentleman in the
least. The Leader is informed that
Mr.. Heitz has resigned and that a
successor has been named to fill the
office. The matter in dispute was
settled by the contesting parties just
before the time set for trial Thursday
in Judge Stacy's court in this city.

COUNTRY ROADS ARE DEPLORABLE
Those Leading Into City Need At
tentiOn at Once,

The roads leading out of the city,
but within the city limits, are in a
condition that are disgrace and We
are surprised that any of the farmers
ever come to the city to trade or
transact business. They are badly
cut up, rutted, uneven, full of pitch
holes and fiat, so that, when it thaws
out in the spring or rains, water
stands in many places making mud
holes in which the polliwogs swim and
later ON the frogs sing or croak. 1t
is matter of surprise, that the roads
should be SO utterly neglected espec-
tally in view of the fact that the bust
ness men of Watertown rely upon its
country trade for the sale of their
goods.
The roads should, while we are
having a dry spell of weather, be
drained, turnpiked and macadamized
from the ends of the streets to the
city limits, if no farther, but it
would not be a poor business PROPOSE
ton to extend the road improvements
even to mile beyond the limits for
it would be money well invested.

and arrangements closed for the COM
ing of the factory, which will, when
in operation, give employment to
about fifty hands. The committee is
composed of ExMayor Wertheimer
and Fred Holman, who are deserving
of unstinted praise for the interest
they have taken in adding another
industry to the list of the busy marts
that go to make up the industrial
activity Of Watertown. They are do
ing the work and performing the I'M
pleasant task on beha If Of the Water
town Advancement association. In
all probability the deal for the coming
of the new industry will be closed
today and ground soon broken for the
commencement Of building operations.
1t is expected that the factory will
be completed and in operation by the
first Of September.
Who says Watertown is not pro.

/ Having purchased the building now
occupied in part by J. M. Malloy as a
saloon, Wegeman & Strauss will as
soon as they obtain possession, which
will be in about six weeks, make ex-
tensive improvements in the building
after which they will move their
stock of goods into the store room and
continue their merchandising business
at that place. 1t is one Of the best
business corners in the city and Wege-
mann & Strauss were fortunate in
securing the properly which will GER
tainly increase in value as the city
grows and prospers. Mr.. Malloy has
not as yet decided where he will go,
or what he will do, and it is possible
that he may leave Watertown. Should
he do so he may become a residen of

J. v. THOMAS VISITS
WATERFOWL FRIENDS
RAILROAD COMMISSIONER IN
CITY IN HIS OWN INTEREST.
Chippewa Falls Man Now Cdndi-
date for State TredSurer-DOeS
Not Take Kindly to LenrOOt
BOOm-HdS Varied Political Car
eer-ViSitS Local Relatives.

Hon. j. w. Thomas of Chippewa
Falls, state railroad commissioner, is
a visitor in the city in the interest of
his candidacy for state treasurer, the
office to which he aspires. Mr..
Thomas is also coupling business with
pleasure and is paying visit to his
cousin, Mrs. David Evans, who re-
sides about three miles north of the
city.
Mr.. Thomas favored the Leader
office with visit yesterday afternoon,
which was appreciated by the
"force,' who have known the gentle
man for many years. While Mr..
Thomas has been one Of the admins
tration officials and formerly close to
Ex-Governor LaFollette, he is not
very clo3ely allied with the present
plan of campaign by the forces who
have held the balance Of power in the
state. He is not taking kindly to
the Lenroot gubernatorial boon
launched by the Gear of Wisconsin,
who now tries t. dictate the policies
from the national seat of government.
Mr.. Thomas is not falling over him
self to get on the Lenroot wagon and
is padding his own canoe on the
merits of his work in the state COM
missioner S Office.
While Mr.. Thomas has not commit
ted himself on the gubernatorial sit
uation, despite the recent report in
the Milwaukee Sentinel, one would
infer, nevertheless, from his converse
ton, that his private opinion is that
Jim Davidson is the logical candidate.
Mr.. Thomas is zealously at work on
the investigation of the railroads and
in trying to prove to the Junior state
senator from Wisconsin that the work
can continue and the policies of re-
form carried out without the personal
guidance and dictations of the senator.
Mr.. Thomas has been member of
the assembly from Chippewa county
for four successive terms, during all
of which time he was a member
of the railroad committee and its
chairman for two terms, so he is fully
posted on the duties of the office. AS
a legislator he has always been active
and straightforward. He was the
author of the present law limiting
rates on all first class rail-

Entertained Friends.

Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Boyer and Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Nelson entertained a
large number of friends one evening
last week, the occasion being the mar
riage anniversary of both couples, hav-
ing been married on the same day al
though one couple had been married
seven years and the other three years
which when added makes ten years
for both couples. The evening was
pleasantly spent in playing cinch, Wis
iting and partaking of four course
supper-and the time passed only too
quickly.

They We're Surprised.

Friday evening, DR.. and Mrs. H..
OFT were surprised by quite number
of their friends and acquaintance
taking possession of their home and
informing them that having heard
that it was the anniversary Of the
birthday they had come to help cele-
brate the event. The doctor and his
good wife were equal to the occasion
and made their guests welcome, and a
very pleasant evening was spent by
all in playing games and in social
converse. A very excellent luncheon
was served and at parting all expressed
the wish that the good doctor and his
estimable wife might live long and
have all the good things of life.
