W|GGENHORN BROS,
CO. REMEMBERED
THURSDAY MORNING WERE
PRESENTED WITH A VASE
Presentation Made BY Herman
Beers. Foreman on Behalf of En-
plOyeS ard ReCeiVee BY Con-
StdntZ WiQgenhOrn. the President
of the Company.

It is certainly gratifying to the mem
bers of firm or corporation, to hold the
confidence and esteem of their employees.
Tuesday forenoon there was an evidence
OF such relationship manifested in this
city which showed that WiggenhOrn
Bros. Cos attitude toward its employees
had been of character to win and hold
their esteem and love for each of the
members of the firm individually and
collectively.
At 9 o'clock, the foreman of the fact
Ory appeared in the business office and
requested that the members of the firm
should visit the upper room and upon
their arrival the foreman, Herman
Beers stepped forward and in a well
WOrded address upon behalf of the en-
ployees Of the establishment presented
to Mr., Constantz WiggenhOrn, the presi-
dent of the company, a beautiful glass
vase twelve inches in heighth inclOsed
in silver as a testimonial of their appre-
citation of the company and each of its
members and thought this, the semi
centennial of the establishment of the
firm of Wiggenhorn Bros, a fitting oc-
casion to manifest their regard. Mr..
WiggenhOrn YVES taken by surprise, but
soon obtained control of his feelings
and in words that came from the heart
thanked the friends for their token of
respect, esteem and love.
Upon the neck of the vase are in
scribed the following presented to the
Wiggenhorn Bros, Co., by their en-
plOypes on the occasion of their 5Oth
anniversary. 1858-1908."
1t is needless to remark, that the Oc-
casiOn will long be remembered by the
members of the firm and the en-
plOyees.

FIRST TROLLEY CAR
MAKES APPEARANCE
THE PEOPLE ALL TURN OUT TO
WITNESS ITS ARRIVAL
Mayor Mulberger Delivers Blief

Given Free Rides-The Regular
Schedule Will Be Maintained.

Thursday was great day for Water
town. At 6:10 p. III. the long looked car
on the lnterurban made its appearance
and its coming was herald by the
ringing of bells, blowing of steam
whistles and the aclaims of the null
titude of citizens who had gath
cred on Fifth and Main streets to
witness the advent Of the first car into
the city on the new line.
The Watertown band met the car
and played as the car passed on
down to the intersection of Main
and First streets where it stopped and
Mayor Mulberger who was on the car
stepped out on the platform and deliv-
cred brief ad d1ress germaine to the Oc-
casiOn, cOngratulating the Tracti on
Company and the people upon the frui-
tiOn Of their hopes. The occupants of
the car then repaired to the New Com
mercial Hotel where supper was served
for those who had come out from Mil
W2UKee ana numDer OF our cltlZonS
Flags were floating upon many of the
public and business buildings in the
city and the occasion will long be re-
membered by our people; and in the
days to come will tell about the com
ing of the first trolley car to Water
town.
After supper, the band played, Main
street was illuminated there was red
fire and thd children 600 or more, Civ
en- rides on the Car up and down Main
street much to their pleasure and sat-
isfaction. 1t certainly was a gala oc-
itself on the map.

Flora came into existence. 1t was Of
exactly the same quality as that of the
La Flora but enjoyed the advantage Of
having newer shapes. AS result the
Modern Flora soon out 'distanced it's par

ler at all the cigar stands throughout
the entire northwest. Some 5O,OGO,OOO
Floras have been rolled in the Wiggen-
horn Bros. factory and have dissolved iu
smoke between the lips of satisfied
smokers. The cigar is more popular To-
day than ever and the sale is increasing
daily.
WiggenhOrn cigars are made in the
same honest way to-day as in the piO-
neer days. The steady growth and en-
largement of the business have not in
one whit altered the firms time honored
policy of putting nothing but honest
value in their cigars. Competition and
the deceptive blending of inferior to-
baccOs practiced by many manufacturers
and made possible by the modern ingen-
uity have not swayed the firm in their
determination to give their customers
the same honest WiggenhOrn quality
nor have they shattered their coLf.

United States.

DRINKING FOUNTAIN
WILL REMAIN INTACT
SENTIMENT OF THE CITIZENS
AGAINST ITS REMOVAL
The Fountain Was Erected By Mr..
and Mrs. r. F.. Lewis. In Memory
of Their Son Clifton, Ten Years
Ago and Given to the City.

1t will be gratifying to most if not all
of our citizens to learn, that the Indian
fountain on West Main street is to re-
main and continue to furnish water for
man and beast. The fountain was gift
to the city from Mr.. and Mrs. R. F. Lewis
about ten years ago, costing in the
neighbOrhOOd of $500, and its removal
would SAVIOR strongly of ingratitUde upon
the part of the city authorities and indi-
rectly, the entire people and its removal
from its original site where placed by
the dOners would be municipal shame.
Much credit is due our young mayor
for his thOughtfulness in personally no
tifying those interested in having the
fountain remain intact, of a special
meeting Of the council to consider the
question Of its removal so that they
could appear and protest against such
action and prevent, if possible, what ap-
pears to the writer would have been an
insult to the memory Of the donors.

Weather Forecast for August
BY REV. IRI HICKS.


A regular storm period covers first five
days in the month, having its center on
Sunday the End. During the 3re, 4th
and 5th these conditions will pass across
the country to the Atlantic, breaking
into severe wind and thunder storms in
many localities, followed by cooler and
clearing weather.
A reactionary storm period is central
on the Sth and 9th. There will be fall
ing barometer, rising temperature,
cloudiness and possibly rains and will
tend to seismic probabilities on or within
three or four days Of the 18th.
regular storm period begins on the
18th extending to the 10th. It is central
on the 14th. Low barometer and threat
ening, fOrceful storms are to be antici-
pated during this period. Between the
10Th and 10Th progressively from west to
east southeast, an unreasonable cool
wave may be expected.
A reactiOnary storm period is central
on the 10Th, Goth and 21st. Lower ba-
rometer, warmer and severe, summer
clustering will he natural about We'd
nesday the 10Th to Friday the 21st. Hail
storms are quite probable at this and
other August periods. Sudden and phe-
nomenal changes to very cool must be
counted on directly after passage of
storm areas at most of the periods dur
ing entire month.
Regular storm period covers the 24th
to 9th. If equatorial storms dominate
the south, result rather to be expected,
great. atmospheric tides will flow
from the north, bringing very cool
weather and possible frosts to many sec
tiOns northward. This period will reach
its eliminating crisis on or within two
DAYS of the Goth. Great seismic prOba-
bilities lie within and next to the same
dates. The month goes out in the midst
of a reactionary period. Thunder
storms and gales will occur On the Both
or day following.

1t is seldom, especially in the West
to find a business enterprise that has
been in operation half-century and
maintain high standard for honest
goods and honest dealing. Such is the
history of the WiggenhOrn Bros. Cigar
Manufacturers, who this week, have Gel
ebrated the semi-centennial of the es-
tablishment of a business that has
grown in volume and popularity and
achieved a success we'll deserved.
In 1858, while the cigar industry, in
the middle west was yet in swaddling
clothes, the firm of Wiggenhorn Bros.
was launched for the manufacture of
cigars, with the Messrs.' Constantz
Wiggenhorn and Eugene Wiggenhorn
as partners. That being a day Of rapid
growth for Wisconsin and the middle
west, Wiggenhorn Bros. found a ready
market for their product. From their
very inception, Wiggenhorn Bros. made
it a maxim never to put anything
but honest worth into their cigars, and
both members Of the firm being expert
enced in their craft and skillful blend
ers of tobaccOs, their cigars soon OBJ
| tanned a reputation in the state, and
the name of Wiggenhorn became a
guarantee of quality. Indeed so pOpu-
lar did the Wlggenhorn Bros. brands be-
come that many smokers would accept
no other cigars unless packed under
this name. Even to this day you will
find old gray-beards throughout the
state who are still smoking those same
old WiggenhOrn cigars and who insist
on having them, claiming that no other
cigars can approach them in solid
value nor honest quality.
The long seller in those days was
the Commercial. The popularity of this
brand is still recalled by many an old
pioneer. As early as 1866 however, the
manufacture of the La Flora was be-
gun. The aim was to produce as rich
a blend of Havana tobacco as was pos
sible, and the La Flora was offered to
the trade, with a great deal of pride, as
piece of goods of rare quality and
blend. This cigar soon became known
for its distinctive qualities and rapidly
grew in popularity. About twenty five
years ago modern shapes were intro
duced anu it was then that the Modern
Flora came on the market. Finding ii
impossible to induce the smokers to &C.
cept new shapes in the La Flora brand
it was decided to change the name some
what and thus it was that the Modern

New Zealand Oddities

The crow in New Zealand strikes as
sweet a note as any heard in the wood
land. The robin has no song and no red
breast. The native hen is the greatest
of rat killers. There is caterpiller
which turns into a plant. These and
some other productions of nature have
done for New Zealand what the kanga-
roo and the ornithorhynchus have done
for Australia a-given it the suggestion of
oddity and the marvellous.

WHY DeSOTO COUNTY SHOULD

First of all, because in no other
way than by sending out a credit
able exhibit to compete with, and
challenge the admiration of the
whole world in variety and quality
can Our people be educated to a
proper sense of pride in the resour-
ces of Our County, and thereby
make of them better satisfied and
contented citizens.
Then there is the educational
feature to those who are willing to
spend the nominal expense Of TAX
ing their families to see the exhi-
bit where they will learn of pro-
ducts successfully raised in their
own home county that they never
saw before, where the best of every
kind of Improved machinery will
be exhibited, and will give your
boy or girl more practical informa-
ton that they can make use of,
than months of book work,
DO we want to fill the waste
places of Our County with little
farms and groves? Then there is
an advertising medium which says
to the army of tourists and home
seekers that will be in Florida at
that time of year, here is what
nature yields to the man who works
no speculative theory but the stuff
itself, and that is what counts.
We need more good roads, more
people to help build them. to pro-
duce wealth for our growing towns
| We need to educate our children to
a broader view than simply to eat
and live. We want them to feel a
just pride in the garden County in
the greatest country on the face of
the earth. ED SCOTT,
