WILL GIVE SIXTH ANNUAL CONCERT
Pleasant Event on Friday Eve
ming By N. W. u. Band.

On Friday evening, May II, the
Band and Orchestra of the Northwest
ern University will give their sixth
annual concert at the Turner Opera
House. These concerts have always
been success, and the citizens of
Watertown have taken quite an inter-
est IN them. Nor is it to be wonder
ed at that people who love music
should attend these concerts, for they
know beforehand that they will hear
only good classical music. Those
who come this year will find that
Northwestern need not yet be ashamed
of its Band and Orchestra. In order
to do greater justice to the musical
compositions which are to be played
the rochestra has Doughty anexcel lent

Show that your interest in music has
not abated and be there at 8 O'Clock
sharp. Look for the program in the

Article in Cream City Paper.

The following artic e appeared in a
Milwaukee paper yesterday in which

itory of Northwestern University of
Watertown met with such great favor
and success, and at the same time the
wish being expressed that such an ex-
cursion trip be planned again, the un-
dersigned commi ttee was requested to
make the following announcement:
1t is our intention to plan an annual
Northwestern Memorial Day. and
as May 80 is an annual legal holiday
and during one of the incest parts of
the year, we thought this day to be
most convenient for such an excursion
to Watertcwn, not only for individual
members of the family but for all of
them. Therefore on the Both of May
will be the first excursion trip for the
planned Northwestern Day. No
doubt more interest than ever will be
taken in this daysince the Northwestern
is growing constantly larger and more
renowned. Committee, Aug. C. Ben

MORE IN REGARD TO THE TAHNERY
One of the Firm Here Saturday,
Propositions Mdde-In Doubt.

Mr. Brautchek, the Milwaukee
tanner, was in the city Saturday con-
ferring with the members of the Ad-
vancement Association relative to re-
moving his business to Watertown.
A proposition was made to Williams
Hartig, the owner of the old Fuer-
mann brewing building, he to repair
the old building and give free rental
for two years, at the end of which
time, the building would be bought at
a price to be agreed upon at the be-
ginning and paid for in yearly install
lments. Mr.. Hartig very generously
offered to give the rental free for one
year and the Tanning company could
repair the building to suit it's convent
ence and at the end of that period pur-
chase the building at a price that
would be satisfactory and pay for it
out of the profits of the building.
Watertown wants the tannery and it
is hoped that a satisfactory arrange
ment will yet be projected by which
the industry will locate here and give
employment to labor and add wealth
to the city.

DEDICATION OF MASONIC TEMPLE
Committee Meeting Held Last
Might to Lay Plans.

A Masonic committee meeting was
held at the Wisconsin National Bank
last evening to arrange for the dedi-
cation of the new Masonic Temple,
which will be some time the latter
part of this month. 1t is understood
that date was pratially decided up
on, but the matter will have to be
submitted to the Grand Lodge, which
will necessitate lapse of couple of
days before an approval can be receiv
ed.
The committee consists of the fol-
lowing members Hon. William F.
Voss, William H. Woodward, W.. C.
Stone. w. A. Beurhaus, Max Rohr,
Emil Creuz and f. M. Eaton.
The ceremonies will be on an elabo-
rate scale and will be held in the as
sembly room of the new building.
Services appropriate to the occasion
will be held during the afternoon
and will be followed by a banquet in
the evening. An elaborate program
is being prepared for the occasion.
The day will be one never to be for
gotten by local Masons. Prominent
Masons will be in attendance from
various sections of the state.

Home, Sweet Home.

The Leader is informed that Mrs.
David J. Evans will erect a new res
idence on the home farm three miles
north of the city in the town of En-
met to replace the one recently des-
troyed by fire. 1t has not been de-
termined as yet whether to rebuild on
the old site or one nearer the main
travelled road. The loss Of the old
home around which cluster so many
sweet memories, was serious one,
for it was a beautiful home where
many happy days had been spent by
the members of the family, who al
though they may be absent from home
yet the heart always holds in rever.
ence the home of childhood and every
spot on the old farm has left its i'm
print on memory, which can never be
effaced, although our circumstance:
may change, social relations be estab
Iished, yet the home fo cur CHILDHOOD
is always home to US.

TO CLOSE FOR SEASON TOMORROW
Repairs to Be Made Here BY Amer
iCdn Mailing Company.

The Buchheit branch of the Ameri-
can Mailing company of this city,
will end it's season operations tomor-
row morning. The local branch gen
orally runs for several months longer,
but the accession of operation this
year is due to the fact that repairs
and improv to the plant are to
be made. In conversation with the
manager of one of the departments
last evening, the Leader was informed
that it was impossible to state just at
present what alterations are to be
made, but was informed that they
would be quite extensive. 1t is
worthy of note to state that the
American Mailing company has twen-
ty-six branch establishments in the
country. The concern at the present
time is erecting a malt house at Buff
falo, N. Y, which will be the lar
gest in the world. 1t will have a
capacity of 10, 900 bushels per day.

at suicide he was taken to the Milwau-

the outcome of his injuries. 1t was
then believed that he would die. He

Changes Contemplated.

When the postoffice building has
been remodeled, the room now occu-
pied by the postoffice will be occupied
in part by C. A Gamm as drug
store, the room in the immediate
rear, by Joseph Robinson as a barber
shop and the Western Union Tele-
graph office will remain where it is
at the present time. The location,
is one of the best in the city, being in
the business center, in close proximi-
ty to Masonic Temple into which the
postoffice is to be. moved, two banks
and on a prominent corner by which
passes many people during each day
in the year.; The gentlemen who are
to occupy rooms in the building, were
fortunate in securing the same at q
moderate rental.

Fire Department Called Out.

The fire department was called out
yesterday forenoon by an alarm Of
fire occasioned by blaze under the
sidewalk on the west side of the post
Office building at the south east corner
of Main and First streets. The space
under the sidewalk has been used as a
storage room by the Telephone Co. and
in which were stored empty boxes and
excelsior. It is conjectured, that
some careless person must have
thrown lighted cigar stub away and
it fell into the excelsior and set fire
to the same. The fire department had
the FIRE out in short order and the
damage was slight, much less than it
would have been had it occurred at
night.
