 Two teams within five points of each other at the head of the league. two tied for third place and two for fourth place shows what race is be- ing put up in this league.
 McCabe, Swander and O'Hagan bad their batting eyes with them yester- day. There will be some differences in the batting averages at the end of the week if they keep up that pace.
 When the Meriden people attend that ball game next week between Waterbury and New Haven they will see the two best teams in the Connec- ticut league. and that's no dream either.
 Those chaps who took Harry Du- rants word that he would have the Prodigals at the head of the league before the Fourth of July were en- toying the fruits of that confidence last night.
 Pretty near time to call another league meeting. There has been no serious complaints against any of the present staff of umpires for some time. Something must be wrong somewhere.

MRS. JOHN F. BRAMER
SUMMONED BY DEATH
END CAME AT EIGHT O'CLOCK
LAST EVENING.
Pioneer Resident of This City
Peter Weigel Answered Final
Summons Yesterday Morning.
Infant Son of Rev. and Mrs. Bar
rett Passes Away.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Mrs. John F. Bramer passed away
at 8 O'Clock last evening at the fami
ly home, 400 Main street, after lin
gering illness with cancer. The de-
ceased, whose maiden name was
trieda Koepsel, was born in Pom
maria, Germany in January, 1888,
therefore would have been sixty-nine
years of age next month. She came
to America in the year 1864, locating
at Hustisford, where in the same year
she was united in marriage to John
z Bramer, who mourns her death.
The deceased was lady loved and
esteemed by large circle of friends.
She was member OF the Protestant
Evangelical church and will be sadly
missed by the members of the congre-
cation, she taking an active part in
the church work when her health
would permit. The husband and one
daughter, Miss Martha Bramer of this
city survive. The relatives have the
heartfelt sympathy of their many
friends in their bereavement. The
funeral services will he held Christ
mas day at the Evangelical church,
but at late hour last evening the
hour had not been decided upon.

FIRST VISIT HERE
WAS IN YEAR 1874
John Reynolds of River Falls,
Enlisted at Johnson
Creek for Civil War.
(From Sundays Daily.)

John REYNOLDS of River Falls,
Wis, was in the city yesterday, the
guest of his old comrade P. H. Swift,
they, both having served during the
civil war in Co. G. 18th Regiment
Wisconsin Volunteers, the company
having been recruited and organized
at Waterloo, Mr.. Reynolds enlisting
from johnson Creek. During his
visit Mr.. Reynolds casually remarked
that his first visit to this city was in 1874
when there was but one store here
and that small affair and the sur
rounding country pretty much of a
will lerness,. The transformation in
sixty-two years has been simply mar
velous and one can hardly realize the
great changes that have been wrought
by industry and enterprise upon the
part of the pioneers who located here
and in thus vicinity sixty years ago
and later.

Avoid Being "A Good Fellow

We have among us a few east
young men who are always spoken of
as "good fellows and in some re-
spects they are but it is well to re-
member they are not "good fellows
who indulge in pleasures at the ex-
pense of what their duty demands of
them. There is no lack of time for
pleasure and there are ways of enjoy
ment for everyone; but in the long
run the young man will find it neither
pleasure nor profitable to win admira
ton for companIonable qualities from
the Idle, the desolute and the vicious.
There is is nothing new in all this
it is an old, old story-yet every day
young men are seen going to the bad
through the allurments of so-called
good lowship and the public teacher
cannot too often or too strongly ad
monish the youth of the folloy of such
a course

ROOM FOR KNIGHTS
Of KING ARTHUR
QUARTERS IN BASEMENT OF
MASONIC TEMPLE.
Rev. T. B. Thompson Secures a
LedSe-Will Take Possession the
First of Jdnudry-TO Fit Room
for Reading and Light GymndS-
tiCS-HdVe As Members.
(From Sundays Daily.)

The knights of King Arthur, or
ganized in 1903 by Rev. 7. b. Thomp-
son, pastor of the First Congrega-
tlonal church are making rapid strides.
From the start, the organization has
been active and has grown till it
now has a membership of forty FIVE
Thus far the young people composing
the club have been holding meetings
in the church parlors The growth
and work of the club has made it
necessary to secure quarters better
adapted to an enlarged work. There
fore Rev. 7. B. Thompson has secured
lease of the large room in the base
ment of the Masonic Temple, which
will be occupied on the first of January,
the plan being to greatly enlarge the
work for the boys. The room will be
lifted for reading and light gymnastics.
Parents and friends of the young men
are requested to contribute books aud
periodicals.. The movement is worthy
one and it would be only kindly act
if some of our citizens of means
would make financial contributions,
for the purpose and object of the
knights of King Arthur are noble
ones and deserving of the greatest of
encouragement
1t is the intention to improve the
working facilities of the club from
time to time, with the object in view
that it may be the m MS of launching
a Young Mems Christian assocla ton.

POSITION OF THE
JUNEAU TELEPHONE
LEADER SURPRISED AT ATTI-
tube TOWARD INTERURBAN.
We Believe Position Mr.. Stone
Takes is Absolutely Correct
Legislation Would Have to Be
Enacted Before Freight Could
Be Hauled.
(From Sundays Daily.)

We were somewhat surprised at the
position that the Juneau Telephone
takes regarding the open letter Of
w. @. stone recently published in that
paper relative to interurban railway
contemplated in the vicinity of Ju-
neau. We believe that the position
that Mr. Stone takes in this matter
is absolutely correct, for IN the pres
ent day undertakings any legitimate
interurban enterprise is not asking
the communities through which they
pass to contribute to the building of
these roads. They are very glad
indeed to be able to get franchises
from the counties and towns through
which they pass without asking citizens
for contributions, and if the enterprise
contemplated at Juneau is legitimate
one they certainly should have faith
enough in their enterprise to spend OF
their own money sufficient amounts to
make the preliminary surveys, instead
of asking the community to do so and
then taking it to fnanciers and trying
to sell what they have and obtain the
profits on the same by the financial
aid given them in the community.
Such a proposition would get very
cold reception with the citizens of
Watertown and we believe with any
set of fnanciers who desired to build
interurban roads, especially through
vicinity like this that would run
light IN population.
We also see that these people agree
to carry freight upon their line. We
wonder if it has occurred to Brother
Kelly that before freight can be carried
on an lnteIurban road in the cities
and towns through which they pass
that legislation would first have to be
enacted allowing them to do so. Ac-
cording to the laws of our state. you
cannot operate an interurban road on
steam road charter.
There is no doubt at all but that the
Beggs system which will build into
Watertown the coming summer will
continue their road to Juneau and
Beaver Dam and we dare say, they
will not ask the citizens of Juneau to
help build this road. We und .rstand
from reliable authority that surveys
for this line will commence early in
the spring.

TESTING OF CATTLE
GOING MERR|LY ON
Expected That About Two or
Three Per Cent Will
Be Affected.
(From Sunday S Daily.)

The veterinary surgeons of Water
town are busily engaged at PRESENT. n
conducting the tuberculln tests as re-
quired by the provisions OF the new
milk ordinance recently adopted by the
city council and which is supposed
to be completed by the first of the
year. 1t is estimated at the present
time that two to three per cent of the
ANIMALS will react to the test and
show that they are afflicted with tn
burculosis. 1t is estimated that there
are about 400 cows in the city, posi-
bly, more, thus indicating that from
eight to twelve are suffering with the
disease. 1t would be difficult to esti-
mate how many people IN the city
have been exposed, but 1T is safe to
say that there have been quite num-
Der. With the two to three per cent
of the affected cattle cleaned out,
Watertown will have a very clean
record. In one or two cases in the
inspection, it is said that the cattle
were in advanced stages of tuburcu-
losis and it is lucky that the discovery
was made through the adoption of the
pure milk ordinance. A large ma
jority of the cattle owners in the city
are pleased over the conduct of the
tests and glad to know whether or not
their cattle are affected. There are
a few, however, who think the tests
are useless aud do not take kindly to
having their cattle submitted to the
t,lh1rcI1lin test
