mad consumer might lay one trust
in its coffin with some invention
where he did not sting himself SO
often!
But hold! enough of these vain hopes
There is no promise there:

And not rendezvous for bright

The other fellows fur.
Meanwhile, Mars will advance by
easy stages, and the signal corps will
practice daily for the interplanetary

distant but $4,000, 900 miles, and there
is some hope that he may have seen
prosperity, which appears to have
gone that far, anyway.
On the twenty second the month
will pass from the influence of Leo the
Lion to that of Virgo, the sixth sign of
the zodiac. Persons born under Virgo
lack the audacious brillancy which
makes presidents and great men of
those born under Leo, but they are
shrewd and soft stepping, and got
what they wanted in the new tariff
bill. Virgo babies are born with only
one eye shut. No Virgo person ever
had both eyes closed at the same
time, or tried to put letter in a fire.

The summer camper will desert the
city for the woods, and fill wagon
with his traps, his duff1e and his goods,
He'll pitch his tent upon some wild

spade and raise slight embankment

welcome, and the trees will sigh aloft,
and the earth will TEEN with beauty
in the cleaning sweet and soft. The
Silly night will drop it's robe and pin

August was originally the month of
Sextillis, but in the time of. Augustus
there was movement in the Roman
Senate to name it for the reigning
Caeser. The resolution was bitterly
opposed by the insurgents and De-
mocrats, but Agrippa Aldrichus and
Maecenas Cannonus put it through,
and Consumus Ultimatus, the leader
of the opposition, was made a galley
slave. The fight was one of the most
thrilling in the history of Rome, and
it kept the Senate in session so late in
the summer that some of the senators
almost missed their chautauqua en-
gagements.
In the beginning, too, August had
but twenty-nine days, and it was
pretty generally felt that this was
enough; but Julius Caeser added two
days, and only the entreaties of the
restrained him from adding two or
three more. He liked August. It was
glorious season in the Pontine
marshes, and the hardness and man
hood which subsequently made him
Imperial Caeser he attributed to
swimming in green ponds, fighting
mad dogs and going around with his
big toe bandaged in the good old days
when the boys called him cred"
The COW will wade the pasture pond
With each day boiling hotter,
And the luckless calf will have to
learn
To suckle under water,
To stick his head up, wanting breath,
To duck it, wanting rations,
And otherwise amuse the ducks,
Mud-turtles and batrachians.
The farmer will survey the field and
pray to have rainstorm, and the dog
will look upon the pool and have an
other brainstorm, the weary world
will make it's rounds with sweltering
and yawning, and the sun will try a
brand new lens upon the summer
awning.
Mr.. Rockefeller will give away
money this month on the I'd, 18th and
26th. He will receive it the other
twenty eight days of the month. The
moon will be full on the 1st, Mercury
will become evening star on the 4th,
and the consumer will eat on the Sth
and the 21st. Lecturers will move in the
regular outdoor orbit from the 1st to
goth, and elocutionists will be at large
for the first fifteen days. No trusts
will be busted this month, but the re-
gular monthly installments will be
collected on all fines. Mr.. Roosevelt
will range into the Albertine Basin, |
and the Cabinet will meet under a |
bush on the Presidents lawn. Persons
trying to tour Europe on $500 will |

boarders will come back to town for

School for Deaf Children

The attention of parents of deaf
children is called to the fact that the
state furnishes free training and ed
ucation for deaf children Section
SIT of Chapter 81 of the Wisconsin
statutes of 1898, requires superin-
tendents of cities and counties to re-
port the deaf children to the super
intendent of the Wisconsin School
for Deaf at Delavan. This is a state
institution and provides scientific
training for deaf children. Parents
and guardians ought to take advan-
tage of this and send such such chill
dren to the state institution. Citi-
zens who know of any such children
in this vicinity ought to report the
same to the proper authorities. Deaf
children with the proper training can
become useful citizens, and lessen
their burdens in life.
Anyone knowing of children so af-
f1icted and wish to have them edu-
Gated at the expense of the state may
write to E. W. Walker, Delavan, or
give their names to w. P. Roseman
Of this city.

DOINGS WEDNESDAY
That Dam Question AGAIN

The session of the city council last
night was enlivened by the introduc-
ton OF the now famous rough and
ready overflow damage cases. 1t got
to head when the Watertown Gas
& Electric company sought to have
passed and accepted their plans and
specifications for the construction of
the proposed dam now under course
Of construction. Attorney John G..
Conway appeared for one of the ad-
jacent property owners and stated
that as yet the company had no right
to ask or expect anything of the city
as they had not filed their acceptance
of the law passed two years ago to
set both parties to this controversy
right, and until the company COM
piled with its provisions there was
nothing to arbitrate. City Attorney
G. A. Kading took the same stand,
while Ernst Warner of Madison, at
torney for some of the property own
ers, contended that the company had
made no effort to settle the matter
up within the past two years and
now wanted to rush it through. At
torney Dean for the company said
the law was now in effect. He diff
fered in its construction.
Alderman Lutovsky started the
ball rolling by saying that the COM
pany should live up to the letter of
it's agreement in this matter and they
must show settlements with the peo-
pie before the plans can be approved.
He said that his action over two
years ago in opposing the passage OF
a certain resolution with respect to
this dam matter was now indicated
by the facts.
Alderman Hartwig inquired of the
attorneys as to the status Of the mat
ter as regards arbitration.
superintendent Comstock stated
the company'S side of the case, say
ing they had done all in their power
to effect settlements and were un-
able to go further in the matter.
1t was finally decided to lay the
matter over for one meeting.
Alderman Hartwig brought up the
matter of paving Fifth street. 1t
proposed that three blocks south of
Main street be paved with creosoted
block and the rest brick Several al
dermen thought that it should be
either one or the other. Alderman
Hartwig spoke in favor of the good
qualities Of creosoted block over 9th
or having material and if iS DoSSihIe
the whole street may be ordered that
way if the property owners want it,
but the season is now growing late.

A Good Woman Passes Away

Mrs. Louis Cordes of this city died
on Sunday morning following an oper-
alton which she underwent last
Thursday. She went to st. Mary S
hospital on Wednesday where the
operation was performed by a spe-
cialist of Chicago. The operation was
successful but death ensued Sunday
morning at $3.50 o'clock owing tC
complications which weakened the
heart action. The news of her death
was learned with sorrow by her large
circle of friends in WATERFOWL, many
of whom did not know that she was
i'll. A remarkable coincidence was
that she died on her birthday.
Mrs. Cordes was a daughter of the
late Christian Stats and was born in
Watertown July 4, 1860 and was
reared and educated in this city. She
was married to Mr.. Louis Cordes in
Watertown in 1889 and the couple
were planning to celebrate their
china wedding the coming fall. The
death of Mrs Cordes was the first to
break the family circle of children
and therefore is all the more sad and
a severe blow to her brothers and sis
tiers and mother, as we'll as her hus-
band, as it was believed and hoped
that she would survive the ordeal
Besides her husband she is survived
