REORGANIZATION OF
THE APOLLO CLUB
Two Concerts a Year Instead
of Four, But on More
Elaborate Plan,

A paper is being circulated for
names among the music loving and
musically inclined of Watertown for
the reorganization of the Apollo club
and no difficulty is being experienced
in the task, as all realize that the
club during the coming year will be
even a greater success than in the past
under the able dictatorship of Prof
Protheroe of Milwaukee musician Of
rare ability and great prominence.
The professor is the director of the
Ar;on and Ceclian choir of Milwaukee,
and is also the director of one of the
most prominent Chicago church choirs.
His eminent fitness and ability was
amply illustrated in his brief director
ship of the Apollo club preparatory
for their recent concert, which proved
a triumphant success and musical
treat to those who were fortunate
enough to attend. Hereafter only
two concerts year will be given in
stead of four as in the past. One is
to be given in the fall and one in the
spring. But as one of the members
of the club stated, the concerts will
be on more elaborate plan than any
in the past.

TAKING A LONG
TRIP IN SADDLE
ROY TOUSSAINT STARTS FROM
MEXICO ON A JAUNT.
Will Journey on to Peru and Ex-
plore Indian RuinS-Eighteen
Year Old Son of DR.. TOuSSdint
of MilWdukee-WeIl Known in
WdtertOWn-Fdther Will Join.

The Milwaukee Sentinel gives the
following account of a southern trip
on horseback to be taken by Roy Tous-
saint, son OF DR.. Frank Toussaint of
Milwaukee, who have relatives in
Watertown and both of whom are we'll
known here.
A trip on horseback through Central
America into Peru, there spending
considerable time among the ancient
ruins and cities of the former Indian
inhabitants, riding many miles Of the
long journey without companion, is
the proposed feat of l8 years old Roy
Toussaint, son of DIR. Frank j. Tous-
saint, a we'll know mining man of this
city.
The young man is at present in
southern Mexico, where he is making
final preparations for his journey.
DR.. Toussaint, who has considerable
mining interests both IN old and New
Mexico, together with his son, have
lived in the Mexican country more or
less for the last three years. The
young man has become thoroughly ac-
quainted with the language and GUS
toms of the Indians, and lived for
some time with family of Yaqui
Indians in New Mexico.
After visiting many of the interest
ing cities of Central America the
boy intends riding through Venezuela
and Colombia into Peru, where he
will spend considerable time studying
the manners and customs of the
ancient Aztec Indians, as we'll as ex-
ploring many of their ruined temples.
1t is probable that DR.. Toussaint
will meet his son at this stage of the
journey and accompany him homeward.
If the proposed trip proves successful
the young man intends to explore
Africa and India in like manner.
Roy Toussaint left this city last
April, accompanied by Edward Boyle,
son of David C. S. Boyle, who will
probably remain in Mexico until Roy
returns from the long journey.

East Lynne Sunday.

The demand for seats by those who
wish to see the Forthcoming produc-
tion of East Lynne" which cones to
the Grand Opera House on Sunday
evening next has been so insistent
that the manager of the house, has
been compelled to place them on
sale several days in advance of the
usual time. The play has proven
such big success that the supply has
not equalled the demand in many
places, and prospective purchasers
had better take advantage of this
opportunity.
Manager Keating of the Neenah
Theatre says; My patrons were never
so thoroughly satisfied as last night
when they saw East Lynne with Miss
Dorrit Ashton as Lady Isabelle. She
is equally as good as Clara Morris. -
Don't miss it Sunday night Aug. II,
The last show this summer.
This production will be presented at
the Grand Opera House next Sunday
evening.

ELECTRICITY USED
IN DRILLING STEEL
PROCESS USED IN INSTALLING
BURGLAR ALARM SYSTEM.
Scene of Activity at the Ban k of
WdtGrtOWn-PrOVGS d Strenuous
Task = Supervisor Goes Forty
Eight Hours Without Sleep-Op-
6TdtiOnS Viewed BY Many.

The scene of activity about the
Bank of Watertown the past few days
and nights has convinced those wi o
have watched the operations that the
installation of burglar alarm sys-
tenn is no easy task and III fact takG S
far greater amount of strenuous
labor and time than the average per-
son would imagine The new system
is being installed by the Invincible
Protection company of Monroe, the
equipment being manufactured at
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The system is
what is known as the open and closed
circuit, the vault in the bank being
inclosed in veritable net work of
cables containing electric wires SO
that it would be utterly impossible
for burglars to gain access to the vault
without giving an alarm that would
almost wake the dead. The work of
installing the new system is in charge
of P j. Werlich of Monroe, who has
had four experienced assistants help
ing him, besides local assistants. The
work was started last Saturday, Mr..
Werlich working and supervising the
work through till Monday, period of
forty-eight hours without any sleep.
1t is expected that it will require d
weeks time yet to complete the task
of installing the system. In the
course of operating it was necessary
to drill holes through the steel plates
of the vault in order to run the cables
1t was found that ordinary drills would
scarcely touch the steel, so the pro-
cess used was by electricity, a COM
mon arc light carbon being used as
the drill. This process is a very in
teresting one to watch, the display of
light being virtually like miniature
electrical storm The operations have
been watched by many of our citizens
and all have found Mr.. Werlich and
his assistants very courteous in ex-
planning the details of the new sys-
tenn.

carnival which is to continue for a
week opens, it will give Watertown
people an opportunity to be entertain
ed by a show, from which local people
derive the benefit, show in or near
which no gambling is permitted, and
a show whose eternal motto is moral
ity.
Three big sensational, death defy

lows: Arthur Holden, the Princeton
graduate, will Give from a 92 foot
ladder into shallow tank of water;
Dare Devil Devillo, on an ordinary
bicycle will make the death trap ride
around the loop the loop, and Mr..
Shepard Owen, better known as
"Chefalo' will ride down a steep
incline and leap a gap of thirty feet
through fire and smoke.
There will be twelve or more acts
in all. There will be numerous con-

of a visit. Among them will be
Fairyland, the great San Francisco

of that order which will also benefit
the entire city. For that reason the
shows deserve the cooperation of all.
