MR.. CARL F. SCHWENDKE.

Another of the old and highly re-
spected residents of WATERFOWL has
been summoned to the unknown be-
yond. The one this time who has
lifted the veil between life and eter-
nifty is Mr.. Carl Friedrich Schwendke,
who passed away yesterday morning
at his home, PIG East Water street
after an illness of several weeks suf-
fer1ng from complication of diseases,
Death was no doubt fastened by the
death last June of his only daughter,
Miss Anna Schwendke, whom he fair
ly worsbipIed and whose Pal ting from
life seemed to affect the father even
more than he showed on the surface.
The deceased was born in Marrow in
October, 1912, coming to America
when an infant, locating in this city.
He was an honored member of the
Watertown Krieger- Verein. Mr..
Schwendke had brilliant record as
soldier in the German army, having
served with distinguished honor in her
wars. For fifteen years he served az
ianitor at the old Concordla hall, but
for the past seven years had lived u
retired life on his East Water street
property. He was a man highly
respected by all who knew him and
the many friends sympathize with the
members of the family IN their
bereavement. The widow and three
sons survive. The Suns are Gust of
this city; William of Milwaukee !;
Herman of this city. The funeral
services will be held Sunday afternoon
at g 80 o'clock from the home to the

CALLED BY DEATH
Died at Rochester Hospital
Fred SCnWendke also
Summoned.
(From Fridays Daily.)

The sad intelligence was received
yesterday that the beloved wife Of
Prof. A. F. Ernst, president of North
western University. had passed away
the previous night at the Mayo
hospital in Rochester, Mlnn., whittier
she went about ten days ago for
medical treatment. While her demise
was not altogether unexpected, yet,
her departure from mortal life caused
much grief among her friends.
The bereaved husband departed for
Rochester Wednesday evening, but the
separation between the mortal and
immortal had taken placs before his
arrival at her bedside. Three of her
children were with her when the end
came and the shadow fell. and the
dear wife and beloved mother was no
more.
The deceased was fifty eight years
of age. She had been resident of
this city for many years and highly
esteemed by all whu had the privilege
of an acquaintance with her; and
although she had been IN delicate
heath for several years, she WAS
patient and bore her suffering with
Ch istIan fortitude and resignation.
She was married to Prof. Ernst in
the year OF 1868 and nine children have
blessed the union: Charles, Phil

COUNCIL GRAPPLES
SALARY QUESTION
NO COMPENSATION FOR MAY
OR AND ALDERMEN.
Decided Last Evening After Leng-
thy DiSCusSion-LOoked Like a
Go" at One Time-Sdle of
Liquor to Minors and Posted
Men Aired. Following a Report
to Council.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

"A large portion or the meeting or
the city council last evening was
devoted to a fruitless effort made to
vote salaries to the mayor and the
fourteen members Of that body. The
ball started rolling with the reading
of an ordinance fixing the salaries of
the city officers. Alderman Lutovsky
preached the subject of salaries for
the mayor and aldermen in offering
an amendment to include those
officers upon the pay roll of the city.
There were lengthy discussions pro
and con, but in the early stages the
prevailing sentiment appeared to be
in favor of some compensation and in
where the mayor would receive
yearly compensation of $500 per year
and $50 per yaer for the aldermen.
This sentiment was expressed in
several straw votes taken to sound
the members of the council while not
In executive session. The tide turned,
however, when the members reassem-
bled and vote was made to fix the
salary OF the aldermen at $50 per
year, the question of the salary for
the mayor having been settled at $500
per year. Alderman Russell moved
All amendment to fix these salaries at
SlOO per year, saying that the council
would be criticized by the public any
way and they might just as we'll
have the 500, adding that he wanted
500 or nothing. The amendment Was
lost. A little surprise came in the
vote on the original motion on the
$50 proposition, which too, lost and
Alderman Russell and his colleagues
got" nothing" The vote stood
seven against and six for. In order
to adopt, it would have required
three fourths of the council. Alder
man Seifert was a champion of the
amendment to create salaries for the
mayor and aldermen, believing AS the
author of the amendment did, that 1t
would be an incentive for members
to attend the meetings of the council
regularly. The fact that some of the
members of the council who had
spoken In favor of the salary plan
and voted for it in the straw votes,
but voted against it when it came to
a show down, caused Alderman Sci
fert to charge them with horse play.
The salaries of city officers be-
ginning May 1, 1908, were fixed by
ordinance as follows:

Boost the Watertown fair Of 1909
That was the keynote sounded at
the annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Watertown Inter County Fair
association held at the city building
last evening.
The meeting was the largest and
most enthusiastic ever held and II the
enthusiasm displayed at the gathering
could but have the cooperation OF the
citizens of WATERFOWL generally, the
coming fair would eclipse anything
in the state and prove mint in the
way of receipts.
At the meeting last evening. many
volunteered to assist gratuitously at
the grounds during the fair in order
to lessen the expense and help to put
the association ON a stronger financial
footing. IL shows a loyalty on the
part Of the gentlemen, for which they
not only deserve the thanks or the
officers of TIE association, bot the
citizens OF Watertown in general. 1t
is a public institution that should
receive the encouragement of every
man, woman and child in the city.
AS Secretary Charles Mulberger said
last evening: "What We need is
boosters If you can't boost, don't
knock.
One pleasing feature of the meeting
was that in the reading of the report
of Treasurer II. G. CRUDE, it was
shown that the association is better off
financially than it was at the meeting
of last year, despite the fact that
there was considerable unpleasant
weather during the tair last year.
This is due to the Jealous efforts of
President II. Wertheimer, Vice-Pres.
j. M. Malloy, Secretary Charles Null
berger, Treasurer H. G. CRUDE and
few others who assisted them in
"boosting'' for months before the
fair.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing yaer, each being the

Upon motion. an auditing committee
of five was appointed to look over the

The date for the next fair was
fixed at the meeting last evening. 1t
will be Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, Sept. Is, 16, II and

NEGLECTED COLDS THREATEN LIFE
(From the Chicago Tribunel

"'Don't trifie with cOld,' is good adj
vice for prudent men and women. 1t
may be vital in the case of child.
Proper food, good ventilation. and dry,
warm clothing are the proper safeguards
against colds. If they are maintained
through the changeable weather of aut-
umn, winter and spring, the chances of
a surprise from ordinary colds will be
slight. But the ordinary light cold will
become severe if neglected, and well
established ripe cold is to the germs of
dlphtherla what honey is to the bee.
The greatest menace to child life at this
season of the year is the neglected cold. "
Whether 1t is child or adult, the cold
slight or severe, the very best treatment
that can be adopted is to give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. 1t is safe and
sure. The great popularity and immense
sale of this preparation has been attain
