couragIng to the executive committee

gress being made this year. 1t pays
TO beautlfv city. What is done to
improve municipality becomes the
prosperity of ali the people. No
stronger confirmation of this state
ment can be made than to call atten-
ton to the Increased value of property
in the city of Madison which has been
largely brought about by the success
full efforts of the Outdoor association.
Believing strongly that every effort
made to supplant what is unsightly
and going to decay with that which
is slightly and beautiful makes far
higher citizenship, this association
asks for the hearty cooperation of all
who are interested in making Water
town healthier, cleaner. more beauti-
ful; the things which have brought
unto the lives of men the most last
ing pleasures and satisfaction have
been the things done for the common
good. If you are interested in pro-

these lines, enroll yourself as a mem
Der OF The association and help push
the good work along. Mrs. G. A.
Roper has been appointed by the
association as their agent TO secure
renewal of membership and enroll
new members. The fee of 81 per year
is so small that no one need be left
out. This is the associations only
source of income. Don't stand aside
and critic!se and wonder why the
association does not do this thing or
that, but become a member. By so
doing you give strength and perman-
ency to an organization whose sole
aim is TO better and make mUre at

Also TO Leave.

AT a special meeting of the board

the committee on teachers and in
struction, which committee will meet
Saturday evening to consider recon-
mendations for palces for the coming
school year. The following High
school teachers did not send in appli-
cations for reelection: E. G. Doudna,
who cues to RIchland Center: r. Ii.

advance in salary; Miss Olive Bemis,
who goes to Grand RAPIDS, Wis, at
good increase; Miss Ethel Pang born
who IS considering other positions,
carrying larger sa aries than the one
which she has been holding here.
The fact that all of the instructors

are considering posts in other cities
at better salaries, goes to show very
clearly that superintendent w. P.
Roseman has been recommending only
the best teachers, but the city, as
rule, does not seem to be alive IL the
fact that 1T takes money t. retain the

JOSEPHINE KUESTER
SUMMONED BY DEATH
Popular Young Lady Passed
Away Yesterday After
noon at Her Home.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Another of Watertown's popular
young ladies has been summoned by
death. The summons was answered
yesterday afternoon by Miss Josephine
Kuester, who passed away peacefully
about 200 O'Clock at the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Kuester,
10 Emerald street, after an ILLNESS
of about four months suffering with
lung trouble.
The deceased was burn and reared
in this city, having first seen the
light of day on December 10, 1882
Although the departed realized the
seriousness of her ailment she bore
her suffering patiently and passed
from life into the sleep called death
like child gong to sleep. Friends
were aware that there was but little
or no hope for the recovery of the
young lady, the sad news of her death
nevertheless came as a shock to her
wide circle of friends, who extend
their sympathy to the bereaved par
ents, brothers and sister in their great
sorrow. Miss Kuester, even through
out her illness, appeared at all times
to look ON the bright side of life, for
she was of a cheerful disposition, a
trait of character that endeared her
to many. She is survived by her par
ents, three brothers and one sister,
William, Walter and Harry Kuester of
this city, and Mrs. Frank Meyer, al
so of this CITY.
