Anent County Judge.

1t is rumored that w. H. Porter
of Jefferson will be candidate for the
appointment and also the election in
the spring to the probate judgeship.
There are now several aspirants for
both the appointment when Judge
Grimm shall resign, which will prob
ally occur in December and for the
election next April. The place right
fully belongs to Watertown man,
for the reason that this city has never
been honored by having one of it's
citizens fiji the office-jf it has, it
was SO long ago, that the statute Of
limitations has run against it and it
should not be counted. The aspirants
residing in Watertown are good and
capable men, either of whom should
he be appointed and elected would
fill the Office and discharge the duties
of the same IN an acceptable and sat-
isfactory manner to the people of the
county.

BOATS NOT ALLOWED
Law Says Water NimrOds
Must Stay on Shore
to Do Shooting.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Duck hunters must be careful in
regard to the manner in which they
pursue their game. The law says
plainly that no boat of any kind dare
be used. Formerly row boats were
allowable, but according to the new
provisions, all boats and pursuing ap-
paratus of any kind will be confiscated
if hunters are caught using them
For the benefit of sportsmen the
new law is quoted below:
cit shall be unlawful and it is
hereby prohibited, for any person or

wild duck, goose, brant or any other
aquatic fowl, upon the waters of this
state, any sneak boat, or boat pro-

NELSON GETTING BUSY.

John M. Nelson, the republican
congressman to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Hon. H. G. Adams
and candidate for the full term be-
ginning March 4, 1907, has opened his
campaign and will from now until
the day OF election make vigorous
canvass of the district, he with others
speaking at prominent points and
keep it warm all along the line. Mr..
Nelson is shIewed politician and will
leave no political stone unturned to
keep up the party majority in the
district. His democratic opponent is
making very sharp campaign, and
If we mistake not, is making inroads
upon the republican preserves and it
certainly looks as if Mr.. Nelson must
do much hard work in the short time
between now and election to hold his
party in line.

MACCABEES MOVE
TO new QUARTERS
Will Not Only Have Pleasant
Lodge Room. But Club
Rooms as Well.
lFrom Fridays Daily.)

The members of Colonel Tent No.
166, Knights of the Maccabees are
putting their carnival money to good
advantage. They have leased the
second story of the building at 42
East Main street for a lodge and club
room and will occupy the quarters in
dependent of any other order. They
will remove from the Knights of Py-
thias hall and will meet for the first
time in their new quarters next Thurs
day evening. New fixtures and fur
niture has been purchased and the
club rooms will put in shape be SO
that the young men who constitute
the order will have a pleasant place
to spend their evenings during the
winter months. 1t is very credible
move on the part of the boys and will
10 doubt and should be the means of
drawing many other young men into
the order, in which they will not only
have the benefit of insurance and sick
benefit, but a place to while away
their long evenings. The club rooms
will be opened soon with smoker"
to which the members will invite
their friends outside of the order. 1t
is also planned to give series OF
dances during the winter.

Larger Attendance.

The cut in the price of admission to
the Idea vaudeville theatre last even
ing made some difference In the mat
ter of attendance, there being larger
audience than at any previous perform
ance this week. however, the rs.
R. o. sign was not resurrected from
it's sweet repose IN it's bed of dust and
cobwebs. Manager Burgess showed
signs of encouragement and is yet in
hopes that he will be able to fill the
house at the knock-down price of 10
cents for adults to any part of the
house and cents for children under
Ia years of age. A little encourage
ment will aid wonderfully in encour-
aging the management Of this "poilte
vaudeville" theatre in continuing and
improving the standard of the same.

MEETS DEATH VIA
THE SUICIDE ROUTE
MRS. ZEMKE'S BODY FOUND IN
RIVER YESTERDAY.
Disappeared From Her Home Early
in the MOrning-NOt Reported to
Police Till Night-Supposed to
Have Ended Life While DespOn-
dent-JdCket Found Early.
(From Fridays Daily.)

The people of this city were sur
prised and many pained, to learn that
Mrs. Otto Zemke had either accident
ally fallen into the river and been
drowned or had deliberately committed
suicide while temporarily out of her
mind. Wednesday morning she left
her home at an early hour and not re-
turning her husband became uneasy
and search was instituted. During
the afternoon a jacket or coat was
found on the bank of the river near
the old Fuermann brewery which was
subsequently, identified as the coat
worn by Mrs. Zemke when she de-
parted from home. 1t being suspic-
ioned that she might possibly have
committed suicide, the work of drag
ging the river in quest of the body
was begun yesterday at 9 a. m. and
about 10:30 o'clock the body was
secured near the place where her jack
ct was found and taken to her late
home. The deceased was daughter
of Mrs. w. H. Kruger who conducts
a bakery near the high school building
on Main street.
Soon after the body was taken from
the river and removed to her late
home, the district attorney instructed
Chief of Police Block to have an IN
quest jury empaneled and Judge Henze
issued the necessary writ and the fol-
lowing named citizens were sum-
mmoned as jurymen: ]. P. Holland,
Luclan Bruegger, John C. Cruel, Au
gust Schmit, Ed O'Byrne, Ernst
Hoeffner and the inquest adjourned
until l o'clock today at the office of
Judge Henze. The deceased is sur
vived by a husband.
The relatives are undecided as to
when the funeral will be held, but
probably Sunday.

CROWD At THE IDEA
IS GROWING SLOWLY
This Week Will Probably Tell
Whether Polite Vaudeville
is to Continue.

The attendance at the Idea the atre
last evening was the largest so far
this week, and yet it came considera-
BILE from meeting the expense of the
pay roll. However, Manager Burgess
was more encouraged over the pros
poets and thinks that possibly there
may be enough of the local citizens
who will ''get the habit" and make
his polite vaudeville paying venture.
The week will probably decide wheth-
er the theatre will continue as a
vaudeville and the citizens of the city
be gwen nightly performances with a
place to spend their evenings at
price that is even within the reach of
the children. There are three nights
remaining this week in which the
Watertown people can redeem them
selves and 1t is up to them to prove to
Mr.. Burgess whether or not they want
a clean little vaudeville show to con-
tinue in the city.

game, hence they were even up, with
a five-game schedule ahead Thurs

rubber, the winning team being ac-
corded the margin by the gladstone
fans and the loser being classified with
the other lemons.
Pfster was on the slab for the Cubs,
and Walsh for the Sox White and
Owen are out of the way for while,
and probably for the series, as the
Cubs showed that neither of them can
stop the West Siders.

$4,000. The attendance hasn't been
up to expectations, though plenty Of
people have appeared at the parks.
Both managers expected crowds of
from 10000 to 10000, and so far less
than $4,000 have been officially tabled
on the two games.
