WATERFOWL BECOMES
A PROGRESSIVE CITY
WHAT LOCAL INDUSTRIES ARE
DOING FOR PLACE.
Several Plants That are Adding
to the Activities and Wealth of
Good Old TOWn-PrOduCtS
Amount to Hundreds of ThOuS-
dndS of Dollars.
lFrom Fridays Daily.l

Some idea of the extent of the
manufacturing industries in this city
might have been obtained yesterday
morning by the observation Of the
smoke ascending skyward from the
smoke stacks of the manufacturing
plants in this city. A stranger here,
would not notice the large number
of industries In operation within the
limits of Watert0wn which add to
the activities and wealth of the
city, and afford employmet to a
large number of men and women,
aud contribute to the success of
our merchants, grocers, butchers,
bakers-in fact the dealers In all
lines o. goods. There are the Dornfeld-
Kunert Co., the M. D. Wells Shoe
factory, the E. j. Brandt Cash
Reg factory, the American Malt
ing Co., the Washington Cutlery fact
Dry. the VIM. Hartlg Brewery, the
Beals & Torrey shoe factory, the
Wiens Brush factory the G. B. Lewis
factory. the Van Camp Condensing
factory, |. l.. Henry 4 Co.'S factory,
the Watertown Table Slide Co., the
Wiggenhorn cigar factory, the Will
kowskI cigar factory, the Neuman &
Kruger cigar factory. the Watertown
Electric Light and Gas factory, the
r. P. Koenig and Globe -four mills,
the Jahnke creamery, SchIueter Bros.
cigar factory and numerous other
smell concerns, the products of which
amount to hundreds of thousands of
dollars in value annually. 1t is doubt
full, if cur citizens realize the value
of these various industries are to the
city and what their loss would mean
to Its prosperity. Other industries
will come if our business men mani
fest the right spirit and extent cor
dial welcome. Watertown is growing,
and it's growth is solid and substantial
and in the course of few years
should double IN population and veal
tn. The spirit of the people should be
for "Greater WATERFOWL, and no
effort should be spared to that end.
The croakers and knockers should be
invited to go way back, sit down and
keep quiet, and let the progressive
and liberal have their way. And in
this connection, it is but just to call
attention to the good work which has
been accom- lished by few members
of the Advancement Association, who
have often labored against great odds
for the benefit of all.

A SANITY Governor.

In the late Sir Henry Moore Jackson.
governor Of Trinidad, convert son of an
Anglican bishop, the Catholic News. of
Port of Spain, finds much that recalls
st. Louis of France Commenting on
Sir Henry's daily life our contemporary
says:
Every morning at dawn he betook
himself to the church, and, as he as
sisted at mass, placed his undertakings
for the day under the protection of his
Savious; and each afternoon he re-
freshed his spirit after the fatigues of
the day in the presence of our Blessed
Lord. His also was St. Louis cheerful
gaiety: with him. as with his great ex-
emplar the inward peace of his mind,
and the JOY with which his soul over
flowed from the presence of the Holy
Ghost enhanced the natural liveliness
and cheerfulness of his disposition In
Sir Henry We saw the same modesty.
combined with the same dignity of
bearing. He was, indeed. the perfect
man even to the lesser details of life
and conduct. Who that was ever
brought into relations with him was
not charmed with the grace and cour-
tesy Of his bearing? His clear utterance
his graceful style of language. his dam
ty handwriting, even the soldierly neat
ness and quiet elegance of his dress,
emphasize the likeness to the safnted
monarch. as pictured for us in Join
ville's vivid pages, sitting in the woods
with his back TO an oak. wearing his
camlet coat, with his hair we'll combed
and his hat with white peacock feath-
crs on his head, hearing the petitions of
those who. nowise hindered by ushers
and other folks, came to have justice
done them -
