REV. 4. \. FINGER
LEAVES TOMORROW
Transferred to South Bend,
Ind. preached Closing
Sermon Here Sunday.

Rev. A. H. Finger, who for the
past three years has occupied the pu,-
pit in the German M. E. church,
preached his closing sermon last Sun
day and will leave tomorrow for South
Bend, Ind, to which city he was
transferred at the recent conference
Of the Chicago district held at Column
bus. His successor, Rev. Henry Kar-
nopp, who was transferred here fro :
South Bend, Ind, will preach his first
sermon here next Sunday. The new
conner is by 10 means stranger in
this section. He was formerly pastor
of the German NJ E. church at Beaver
Dam, also at Lowell. His brother
was pastor of the local church, during
which time the newly appointed
minister frequently visited in this
city.
The departure Of Rev. Finger to-
morrow is with many regrets by his
numerous friends in Watertown, who
are not by any means confined to the
church, but include all who enjoy his
acquaintance, for he has proven a val
liable citizen and his association with
all classes and denominations has been
most congenial. During his pastor
ate he has been instrumental in not
only wiping out large portion Of the
church debt. but the membership has
been largely increased. He also Sc
cured the organization of the church
Brotherhood, which has been a valua-
BILE aid II the church work
Rev. Fingers two daughters, Flea
nor ard Clara, have decided to remain
in Watertown The former is an en-
ploye in Schempf Eros store, while
the latter is engaged in teaching in
the Affection district.

the general public take part in the
event which makes prominent point in
the history Of this establishment since
its inception half century ago.
A BRIEF HISTORY.
The founder of the house, the late
". d. Sproesser, was born in Ger
many in 1912. He received a liberal
education and held numerous posi-
items Of trust and confidence in his
native country, lie not only possessed
mechanical ability of more than or
binary scope, but could be truly called
horologist, having studied the art of
matchmaking under some of the most
eminent masters of Germany and
Switzerland. After extensive travels
throughout continental Europe, he
established himself at Wlnnenden,
Wuertenberg, in 1910 where he was
in the enjoyment of a lucrative bust
ness until the outbreak of the revolu-
ton Of 1913. Being man of liberal
view he became involved in the politi-
cal movement and had a narrow escape
from imprisonment as result when
the reaction gained the ascendancy.
AS a consequence Of his connection
with the revolutionary party he was
prosecuted and was forced to leave
the country, coming to the United
States first, locating at Philadelphia
and coming to Watertown in the sum-
mer OF 1855, engaging in the jewelry
business the following year in
small frame building at what is now
2l2 Main street and which site, by the
way, was purchased by the w. D.
Sproesser Company the present year.
In the following year the business
was removed to what was called the
Werner block, standingussin the river
on the northside of Main street bridge
which was taken out by the high
water food of March, 1881. In this
building he met with a heavy loss,
thes store being burglarized in the
spring of 1861 This catastrophe gave
cold Man Sproesser, - as he was
commonly called, a set back from
which he never fully recovered, fore
ing him to confine himself strictly to
watch repairing which he carried on
at his home near Cady street bridge
until 1868, when he turned over the
business to his Oldest son, William
D. Sproesser. After service of more
than four years in the Sioux wars Of
'62 ard '63 and the Civil war of '64

Testing the Bridge.

A. Kraft, chief engineer OF the
Milwaukee Electric Railroad and
Light Co. with his force has for the
past few days been examining and
testing the Main street bridge for the
purpose Of ascertaining its stregnth
and the probabilities of It's being
strong enough to hold fifty tons which
would be the maximum weight it
would have to sustain when the troll
ley line was in operation and cars
passing to and fro over the structure.

1t was moved and carried that the
8ee.et e Ei.he z ssSon be approved.
1t was deemed by the council that the
price for the construction of the els
tern was too high. The report was
placed on file.
The committee on streets and
bridges reported on the petition asking
for the construction Of @utter bridges
on all crossings on Ciyman and North
Washington streets. The report fol-
lows:
That, as an experiment they have
caused one such gutter bridge to be
constructed at the corner of Fifth and
Clyman streets. and that the same has
proven satisfactory
Tina such gutter bridges would be
more convenient for the public travel
than the open cutters as now main
tanned.
That the said gutter bridges can
be constructed at a cost of about So. rs
each.
THE committee recommends that
the prayer of the petitioners be grant
Cd and that the board of public works
be directed to cause the construction
of gutter bridges on SAID streets"
The above report was followed by a
resolution authorizing the construc-
ton of the cutters.
The finance committee of the board
of education reported to the council

One Theory Of wealth.

Why there should be Woodworking
poor men and idle rich men in the
same community is a question which
no one has answered, and no one can
answer satisfactorily. That is why the
opinion is so prevalent that the world,
economically considered, is so very
much out of joint, believes It. N. Car
ter, writer in Atlantic But although
there is so much unanimity In the
opinion that wealth ought not to be
distributed as 1t now is, there is still
wide diversity of opinion, where
there is any definite opinion at all, as
to how 1t really ought to be distrlbu-
ted. These opinions may, however, be
reduced to three fundamentally dis
tinct theories, which shall call the
aristocratic, the sociallstic, and the
democratic, or liberalistic, theories.
The aristocratic theory is that the
good things of the world belong more
particularly TO certain groups or
classes than to others, by virtue of
some circumstance connected with
their birth or heredity, and independ-
emily Of their individual achievements
The socialistic theory is that wealth
ought to be distributed according to
needs, or according to some similar
plan arranged beforehand, and indie
pendently of the individual ability tc
acquire wealth In the rough-and-r
struggle of life. The democratic, OF
Iiberalistic, theory is that wealth
ought to be distributed according to
productivity, usefulness, or worth.
