N. ". J.. CONCERT TO
Be GIVEN MAY 1ST
Will Probably Appear in Mil
Wdukee a Week Later
Band and Orchestra.

The concert committee of the must
cal societies of the Northwestern uni
versity, held meeting Saturday after
nuon in which the necessary arrange
ments were more closely discussed.
Tickets are to be for sale within a
week. Among other things it Was
also decided to publish cuts in the
Watertown papers, of both the band
and the orchestra. The local concert
is to be held on the first of May, but
a date for that at Milwaukee could
not be decided upon, as the necessary
impulse from the Milwaukee commit
tee has as yet not been received.
There is no doubt, however but that it
will be given about week after the
local one. 1t IS also quite probable
that concerts will be given in one or
the other of the neighboring cities.
The members of the concert commit
tee are as follows: Paul Horn, presi-
dent; E. E. Guenther, secretary and
treasurer; Gustav YESTERDAYS, Alex.
Sitz, Otto Plath and Leonard Zeisler.

SKIN GRATING IS
SUCCESSFULLY DONE
OPERATION PERFORMED YES
TERDAY AT ST. MARY'S.
Herbert kuehnemdnn of the Sew
Gnth Ward the Pdtient-FOOt In
jured About Eleven Years AGO
Became Withered and Remained
SOre-AlSO DefOrmed.
(From Wednesdays Daily.O

IL lOu hSdASSudS bhlIS.
A very difficult and successful sur
glcal operation WAS performed yester-
day forenoon at St. Msry's hospital in
this city by Drs. 7. F. Shinnick and
G. J. Habhegger, the patient being
Herbert Kuehnemann. living at 1925
Third street. About eleven years ago
while yet lad, Mr.. Kuehnemann had
the misfortune to have his left foot
badly crushed while he was playing
about train of cars. The member
became deformed and withered, and
always troubled him, get he continued
to work, walking on his heel which
bothered him. as sore on the sole of
the heel refused to heal, although every
effort possible was made by physicians
to heal the sore which refused to yield
to treatment. AS a last resort, it
Was decided that the only way to save
the foot and possibly the life of the
patient, was by the process known as
skin grating and yesterday, Mr..
Kuenheman submitted to tho opera
ton. At 10 o'clock, the patient was
placed under the influence of an anes-
thetic and the skin around the opening
which showed proud flesh, was removed
after the sore had been properly pre-
pared by DR.. Habhegger, the dead
skin covering a space of about three
by four inches, DR.. Shinnick using the
knife and removing the skin from the
foot leaving fresh flesh. After the
skin was removed from the foot, DR..
Habhegger opened place in the right
leg of the patient between the knee
and thigh turning down the skin over
a surface of about three by four inches
and when every thing was in proper
shape and condition, the foot was
brought over and the heal placed IN
the opening in the leg and the flap
brought up over the heel where the
skin had been removed and stitched to
the live skin OH the heel and then both
foot and leg encased in a plaster east
to hold both firmly together unit they
should unite and circulation not be
impeded. The cast will remain from
twelve to fifteen days, during which
time the patient must remain in bed
and be quiet. The patient was under
the influence of the aDesthetic for
about three hours and came out after
the operation in good shape and being
a young man will no doubt save his
foot and recover it's full use and be
free from pain. The result of the
operation will be watched with inter-
est by all, and all will hope for the
best results. Miss johnson, matron
of the hospital, assisted, having given
the patient the either and remained
with him until the operation was COM
pleted and he restored to conscious
ness.

part in the performance and will be
ably assisted by several Of the popular
young ladies of the city. who are put

affair grand success.
Great interest is centering in the
coming event, especially for the rea-
SON that it will be the first time in
the history of Watertown for ladies'
home talent minstrel performance. A
glance at the personnel of the young
ladies who are to appear as black face
artists, is convincing of the fact that
there will be an excellent array of
talent. The following young ladies
will participate: Misses Anna Smith,
Elsa Schempf, Ann Habhegger, Clara
Hermann, Elvira Emmerling, Helen
Rack, Elsa Wiggenhorn, Hattie Hab-
hegger, Louise Sproesser, Anna Muir

Used. One of the features of the even

popular and catchy and especially
adapted for ladies' minister's and la
dies voices. Several of the songs
which Will be rendered were received

SEEKING POSITION
OF PROF. f. c. D0UDNA
B. T.. Mccormick OF WdukeShd
After PrinCipdlShip of
High School.

The Watertown High school is to
lose one of it most efficient instructors
mot only of the present corps, but
one of the best the school has ever
had. Reference is made to Prof. E.
G. Doudna, the principal here, who
goes to Richland Center, to accept
the principalship and SUPPLEMENTARY
at that place. The reason for the
change suggests iselt very readily
when 1t Is known that Prof. DOudna
is to receive $1,000 per year, an in
crease of $3.50 per year over what he
has been receiving here. He is now
teaching his first year ia Watertown
and it Is to be sincerely regretted that
he is not to remain, for all who are
familiar with the work in the local
high school, speak of his work in the
highest terms of praise and since he
became identified with the local school,
he has done much to increase the
efficiency of our institution of learn
ing. But we presume it will ever be
thus so long as other cities offer saia-
ries in excess of those paid IN Water
town.
Prof. B. E. Mccormick, who has
been an instructor in the High school
at Waukesha, is a candidate for the
position now held by Prof. Doudna,
who goes to Richland Center in Sep
temher to enter upon the discharge of
his duties there. The Waukesha
gentleman Was IN the city yesterday
in AN effort to fill the vacancy. Prof.
Mccormick is AN excellent appearing
young man and is highly recommended.

Years Champions of Minnesota.

Active baseball practice was begun
ut Northwestern Monday, the entire
old team and few ambitious candi-
dates having responded to Capt. Ko-
wakes call. Work was begun with
batting practice which will from now
on take up an hour of the entire days
work. Though no sensational batting
was done, the boys nevertheless gave
evidence that their batting eyes had
been but little impaired by the WIN
ter's rest. The lnfeld lineup will in
all probability remain the same unless
some unusual talent should be found
in the ranks of the newcomers. Who
will be fortunate enough to fill the
position vacated by Nelghorn can not
yet be foreseen.
The schedule of home games has
been practically arranged and viii in

the circuit. In all probability St.
Thomas of ST. Paul. Mimi, which has
had monopoly of the championship
of Minnesota for the last four years
will also be secured for a game at
this city. This would have been an
impossibility but for the excellent
financial support which the athletic
association has this year received from
the students by no means less from
the business men of the city. They
have evinced ali unusual interest 10
the success of our team and given
ample material proof of their sympa-
thies with subscriptions that surpas sed
the expectations of the most optimistic.
