FREDERICK COUNTY

Complete returns from all but four
districts in this county gives Warner
$50 majority. The missing districts are
in the mountain section and will not
materially change the result. The vote
throughout the county was unusually
light, not over 10 per cent. of the regis
tered vote being polIed. In Frederick
city, where Warner made his greatest
gain, about so per cent. of the register
ed vote was polled.
The result in the county was a dis
appointment to Republicans, who calcu-
lated that Warner would get fully 1000
majority. They attributed the slump
to the stay-at-home vote, which was
very large.

Gone to Her FeWdrd

Another early day resident of Wa
tertown has answered the summons of
the grim reaper in the person of Mrs.
Dorothy Lauersdorf, who died in Chi
cago. She was the widow of the late
Williams Lauersdorf, who died five
years ago, but who for many years
conducted a blacksmith shop in North
Third street. Mrs. Lauersdorf was a
native of Germany where she was
born December 8, 1880. At the age
of IA, or in 1914, she emigrated to this
country, settling in Watertown the
same year and was a resident here
u1t1 about fifteen years ago when the
family removed to California and later
to Chicago. She is survived by three
daughters and one son: Mrs. Mary
Petri of Kohlsville, Wis; William of
Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs. Hulda Gehr-
mann of California, and Miss Magda-
lena of Chicago. The body was
brought to Watertown last evening
and taken to the undertaking rooms
of Schmutzler & Krier and the fun
eral will take place from there

Lutheran church where services will
be held at 9 O'Clock

Install Fine Organ

The work of installing the large
pipe organ, costing $4,000, at the Con-
gregational church is making good
progress. The parts of the instrument
were received in ten huge crates and
it will take about two weeks to build
it up. The pipes alone number about
800, some of which are sixteen feet
long and foot square. The organ
has been reduced to the smallest pos
sible dimensions but it still occupies
space 121aX6 and is IL feet high. An
improved electric blower placed in
the basement supplies the power. This
large instrument will add greatly to
the appearance of the church. The
front pipes of dull bronze color will
touch the ceiling and extond 80 5ozs
the front for twelve feet. Below the
pipes there is a beautiful panel Of
the finest quarter sawed oak. The con-
sole or key-desk will not be at
tached to the organ but has been
placed on the auditorium floor next
to the pulpit platform. In this way
room has been provided for at least
26 people in the choir loft.

Served TWenty=One Years

Watertown people will recall the
murder committed in the town of
Palmyra in March, 1888, for which
Mrs. Martin Steinhauser was given a
life sentence for the alleged murder
Of her husband and the hired man.
Henry RohrmOser was also sentenced
for life. The woman has been paroled.
The crime for which Mrs. Steinhaus-
er was given life sentence was COM
mitted March 5, 1883, in the town of
Palmyra, Jefferson county. The huS-
band was found in his home early on
the morning of March 5 badly wound
ed and the wife claimed he had been
the night of March 6 Steinhauser
died, but before his death he became
conscious and charged his wife with
the shooting. Later she and a hired
man, Henry Rohrmoser, were arrest
ed, charged with the crime and upon
trial at Jefferson found guilty of muir
der in the first degree. Life SEN
tences were imposed on both Septem-
Der 20, 1888. Subsequently Rohr-
moser was pardoned by Governor
Peck on the ground that the evidence
was not sufficient to connect him with
the crime, and now the woman also is
freed, the memberss of the state
board of control believing that she
has not only been sufficiently punish
ed, but that it is doubtful if, had she
not told the burglary story, but in
stead recited the truth of the encoun
ter with her husband, she would ever
have been convicted at all, it being
claimed that she has on her person
the scars of pitchfork wounds re-
ceived during the encounter, which
would have enabled her to substan-
tiate a plea of self defense.
Mrs. Steinhauser was about 35
years of age when she was sentenced
to the penitentiary and she comes
out of the prison prematurely old, and
with but a few more years in which
to enjoy her freedom. Two children
a boy. and a girl, were practically or
phaned by the deed Of their mother.
They are now grown up, and if liv-
ing are probably the relatives to
whom the mother is to be entrusted
by the board, although on this point
nothing can be obtained from the
board of control members as they say
they do not care to let the world
know where the aged woman is to be
cared for during her declining years.
They say, however, that good home
has been secured for her and that
relatives will look after her support.
The murder at the time it was COM
mitted attracted a great deal of atten-
tion and there have been several ap-
plications made at. various times for
pardon for Mrs. Steinhauser on the
ground that the punishment inflicted
on her was too heavy.

Getting Even

Carl Timm of this city, a former
renter on the Hartwig farm, was ar
rested Saturday on complaint of A. H.
Hartwig of Watertown. The complaint
was made before Justice of the Peace
John McNalley of Clyman and al
leges that Timm took hogs, 6 tons
of hay and 10 bushels of corn from
the Hartwig farm which did not be-
long to him. This is denied by Timm
who claims that at the auction held
last fall a complete settlement was
made and holds a receipt therefor.
Timm is being defended by o. G.
Hahn, while District Attorney G. A.
Kading represents the state in this
action. An adjournment of the case
was taken until next Saturday, Feb
ruary 5, at Clyman where the case
will be tried.
Recently Timn started a SANDER
suit against A H. Hartwig for $4,000
damages, and last week sued for a
balance which he alleged to be due
him from A H Hartwig on the divis-
ion of the sugar beet crop. This last
action was settled, but the damage
suit remains to be tried. The total
value claimed for the articles alleged
to have been taken by Timm from the
Hartwig farm is 1852.
Timm is an employe at the Globe
Mill and has a wife and twelve chill
dren

Council Proceedings

In the absence of Mayor Arthur
Mulberger and President of the Coun-
Gil John Kehr, the regular meeting Of
the city council was called to order
by Chief of Police H. G. Block, and
Alderman John T. Ryan was elected
to preside at the meeting. One of the
principal matters was the fixing of the
salaries of the officials and the
amount together with the amount of
last year will be found printed below.
A lively scrimmage occurred when
the report of the judiciary committee
on the improvement of the Coffee"
road was read Alderman Hartwig
objected to the report and asked that
it be referred to the committee on
streets and bridges, where it right
fully belonged. He said the judiciary
committee should attend to its own
business as they knew nothing Of
street building.
Alderman Lutovsky said the judi
ciary committee acted in line with the
recommendation of the mayor in his
message and that the council saw fit
to place the matter n their hands,
and they did as directed, nothing more
Alderman Werner said there was
too much haste as a portion of the
old contract on the Coffee road was
not completed.
Alderman Kalina said the two doc
tors were dragging III too much poll
tics.
The motion to refer the matter to
the streets and bridges committee
was lost, the motion receiving only
) votes. On motion the matter was
laid over until the next meeting.
Following are the amount Of salar-
les fixed and the salaries paid last
year:

No More Loose Coins

The following order received by
Postmaster H. T. Eberle is self-ex-
planatory:
In view of the extent to which the
practice of placing loose coins in
boxes by rural patrons has grown, and
the delay in the delivery and collec-
tion of mail and the hardship impos-
ed on rural carriers incident thereto,
you are informed that, commencing
Februay Is, proXimo, rural letter car
riers will not be required to collect
loose coins from rural mail boxes.
Patrons should enclose coins in an
envelope, wrap them securely in a
piece of paper, or deposit them in a
coin-holding receptacle, so they can
be easily and quickly taken from box
es, and carriers will be required to
lift such coins, and, where accom-
panied by mail for dispatch, attach
the requisite stamps.

Our Washington Letter
(BY OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT

Washington, d. c., January 81, 1910.
President Taft has mapped out pro-
gramme for Congress that is well calcu-
lated TO keep our SOlOns busy the rest of
! the session.
President Taft proposed to amend the
laws for regulating corporations and for
new law to establish postal savings
banks for the benefit of the people, which
he promised in his campaign, and also
| law to authorize the establishment Of
post parcel deliveries which will enable
the postoffice to underbid the eXOrbitant
charges made by the various express
companies. The way the Congressman
and Senators are hearing from their con-
stituents on these reforms indicates
| that the public is alive to the necessity
| for such measures and that these laws
will be passed, as recommended by Presi-
dent Taft, in his recent messages.
INCOME TAX.
| Congress has amended the Constitution
of the United States, so as to provide for
an income tax, and it is now up to the
states to ratify that amendment, which
| becomes part of the Constitution as
soon as it shall have been ratified by
three-fOurths of the states. The cOrpOr-
atiOns and capitalists OF the country are
doing their utmost to influence the legis-
latures of the various states against this
amendm mt.
However, it is believed that the amend
ment will be ratified by practically all
of the states.
One of the most vOciferOus charges
that Mr.. BRYAN used to make against the
Republican party during his campaign
was that it did not treat the big thieves
and the little thieves alike.
BIG THIEVES IN PRISON.
This charge finds complete refutation
in The fact that the Federal authorities
have placed millionaire banker, John r.
Walsh, of Chicago, in prison for five
years for violating the Federal Banking
laws. John X. Walsh is the Wealthiest
man that this government has ever placed
behind prison bars. Recently Mr.. Morse,
another wealthy New York banker, was
sentenced to serve and is now serving a
15-year term in the federal prison at
Atlanta, Ga.
President Taft, in his prosecution of
these big malefactors Of great wealth, is
demonstrating that the law is being ad
ministered alike to the rich and the poor
| This will furthermore be great object
lesson to those who are engaged in dark
and shady enterprises.
| POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
The opposition to the presidents plan
for the establishment of Postal Savings
Banks is rapidly diminishing.
1t is well known that the great banks
of this country are opposed to the gov
ernment going into the banking busi-
ness.
1t is well known that the great bank
ing concerns of this country have in the
past received favOrs at the hands of the
government and now President Taft pro-
poses to make banking move in the in
terest of the masses of the people which
will be the effect of the establishment of
Postal Savings Banks, that will enable
the dep0sitors, especially the working
man and the farmer to secure per cent
interest on his money, and then to have
the assurance that his money is as safe
as the government itself.

M. f. Church Entertainment

The entertainment given at the First
M. +. church last evening by Miss Nina
Hall of the Appleton School of Elocu-
tion, was one of real merit and Miss
Hall proved herself to be a gifted elOcu-
zionist who has a grand future before
her. She is dlgnifed, graceful and
pleasing in matter, and her story. "The
Dawn of Tomorrow" was replete with
pathos and truths which will make a
lasting impression on those who heard
her recital. Rev. Nj. l.. EyersZ is en-
titled to thanks for securing such an en-
tertainment for the people of this city.
