In Justice Court.

The case of John w. Burns VS. Ed
ward Stack and Mary Stack which
was started some time in August of
this year and adjourned several times
was disposed of yesterday in Justice
w. D. Stacy's court by jury.
Previous to the trial the plaintiff
withdrew the action as to Mary Stack
and prosecuted against Edward Stack
alone. The case grew out of a claim
for coal furnished by Mr.. Burns to
Edward Stack when Stack was in the
candy business at III West Main
street, in the sum of $1,000. The de-
PENDANT, Edward Stack, claimed that
while in the candy business he had a
sample of Mr.. Burns coal in front of
his place Of business and took orders
for Mr.. Burns upon an agreement that
Burns was to furnish him coal for said
services and for the use of his candy
store as an Office, etc. Mr.. Burns de-
MED having had any such agreement
with Mr.. Stack.
The jury, consisting of Simon Mol
zahn, Edward Seifert, Edward Specht,
Carrot Gahlman, John Block and Ed
ward Schempf, brought in a verdict
for Mr. Burns for he amount claimed
by him, S666S, after being out a few
minutes. Kading & Kading, the at
torneys for Mr. Burns, moved for a
Judgment on the verdict, which was
granted, including costs. John G. Con-
way was the attorney for Mr.. Stack

More Trolley Lines

There are many rumOrS OF electric
road construction in the air these
days and it is said that another COM
pany besides the John |. Beggs COM
pany is seeking to build from OcOnO-
mowoc to Beaver Dam via Juneau.
What the company offers in the way
OF inducements we do not know, but
we believe it would be to the inter
ests of the people of Juneau and Bea-
yer Dam to have the line projected
through WATERFOWL, which would en-
able traffic over the proposed short
line from Oconomowoc to Milwaukee
and the present line to Waukesha.
The company Mr. Beggs represents
has the faculty OF doing things and
when they build it can be depended
upon to be substantial and of thor
ough construction, point to be con
sidered in railway constructions 1t
would give Beaver Dam a short cut to
Milwaukee and at the same time put
it in connection with whole range
Of bustling cities between it and Lake
Michigan, besides connecting it with
the lines which the Beggs interests in
tend building south and west of Wa
tertoWn and north to Green Bay via
the Fox river valley lines. This is &

Some want a Change.

A movement is on foot among bust
ness men of the city to have the To-
cation of the proposed postoffice site
changed to a better location, perhaps
on Main street. Several prominent
business men are behind the move
ment and perhaps something definite
will be done in this connection in a
few days. The matter has been
brought to the attention of Congress-
man John M. Nelson and it is probable
that a committee of prominent citi-
zenS and business men will go to
Washington and submit their plans to
the treasury department. 1t is said
that portion of the appropriation for
a public building, $4,000, can be util-
lied for the purpose of buying q site
that would be more appropriate for
the city and one that would be in ev-
cry way better for the needs of Water
town. The appropriation of $4,000 for
"a site was altogether too small in
comparison with the appropriation for
the building, and many business men
feel that an injustice would be done
in constructing a building that would
cost $4,000 on an $4,000 site, which is
evident by the action of the men be-
hind the movement.

Another Fine Entertainment.

The third entertainment of the ser

be held at Turner Opera house on
next Monday evening, December %.
For this occasion the celebrated
Schildkret Hungarian orchestra has
been secured, the best organization of
it's kind that has been exploited in
this country since the extended tour
OF the Archduke JOseph's Hungarian
Gypsy band twenty-five years ago.
SchildkTet's Hungarian orchestra
was brought over from Hungary dur
| ing the Worlds Fair year and was es-
lpeciaIly engaged for concert work in
| Chicago at that time through Mrs.
| Potter Palmer, chairman of the La
dies committee at the Worlds Fair,
and played at many of the most i'm
portant concerts and social affairs
during that memorable year. They
were also especially engaged for sea
son at Old Vienna and received the
first grand gold medal for their work
Since that time they have played all
through the east, returning to Chica
go in time to play for Prince Henry
on his tour through this country some
years ago. While in Washington Mr.
Schildkret played at Washington Park
club, attended by Miss Alice ROose
welt, SO it is not surprising that he
was summoned TO Washington to play
at her wedding. Mr.. Schildkret is
without a peer as a leader, has stu
died the wants of the lyceum people
and knows what to give the public in
the way of concert programs. The
company includes as soIoists, a plan
list, vioIinist and flutist, Mr.. Schild
kret himself being one of the greatest
flute solOists in the world.
The sale of seats began at the
iSchempf Drug company store this
morning.

TOLEDO, OHIO
The Best Known Newspaper in
the United States
CIRCULATION 100000
Popular in Every State

in many respects the Toledo Blade
is the most remarkable weekly news
paper published in the United States.
1t is the only newspaper especially ed
tied for National circulation. 1t has had
the largest circulation for more years
than any newspaper printed in America.
Furthermore, it is the cheapest news
paper in the world, as will be explained
to any person who will write us for
terms. The News of the World so ar
ranged that busy people can more easily
apprehend, than by reading cumbersome
columns of dailies. All current topics
made plain in each issue by special edi-
tOrial matter written from inception
down to date. The only paper published
especially for people who do or do not
read daily newspapers. and yet thirst for
plain facts. That this kind of a news
paper is popular, is proven by the fact
that the Weekly Blade now has over TO-
600 yearly subscribers, and is circulated
in all parts of the United Ttates. In adj
dition to the news, the Blade publishes
short and serial stories, and many de-
partments of matter suited to every
member of the family. Only 81 year.
