10 Not Be Fooled

There will be no party nominations in
this city at the approaching municipal
election, every candidate running ipde-
pendent and on his merits. All the talk
about democracy and repnblicanism is
tommy rot and should not deceive any,
one. Every citizen is interested in Sc
curing the best men, those known by
their acts to be solicitious for the growth,
development and welfare of the city.
The man who has unseIfshly and at an
individual expense of time and money
worked for the material betterment of
the city is entitled to more than favor
able cOnsideration-he is entitled to
your support. Everybody in this city
knows, that Ex Mayor Wertheimer has
been one of our most enterprisine and
public spirited citizens, and richly de-
serving of The hearty endorsement Of
every voter. When he was mayor there
was no discrimination on political lines,
all being treated alike, the prosperity Of
the city being the governing influence.

Work Will Soon BeQin

The new line Of the North Western
railroad which is to be constructed
from West Allis through Dodge coun-
ty and west to Necedah, will be
started as soon as the snow and ice
has disappeared. The survey be-
tween the points named has been
made and the work will be pushed
rapidly for double track system.
The greater part of the right of way
has been secured. The line passes
two and one-half miles from the city
Of Beaver Dam.
A dispatch from Friendship, Adams
county, which now has no railroad
within it's borders, says that the en-
tire right of way has now been secur-
ed and paid for, and a tract of 1000
acres secured about one mile south
west of Friendship for station, round
house, shops and division headquart-
ers. and that when the road and build
ings are completed about 1000 men
will be employed there. Ties are be-
ing bought at Necedah.

washington Remembered

Last Saturday evening the n. w. U.
Lyceum Literary society held it's
fourth regular meeting. The program
which had been arranged for the oc
casion by Walter Reinemann, indi-
Gated that the spirit of the literary
aspirants had not relaxed after the
main event of the season, the Wash
ington Birthday celebration. The en-
tertainment opened with a musical Sc
lection given by a sextette composed
of competent members of the band,
which was greatly appreciated by the
numerous audience of students In
the various succeeding numbers the
speakers showed improvement over
the work at the beginning OF the sea-
son. The final number, German dia-
logue entitled "Schuster bleib bel
deinem Leisten," was fairly we'll
rendered. Theo. Schliepsick, who rep
resented Schuster Dahlke, was ambi-
tious to heighten his station in life.
He resorts to orinthology but finds
himself woefully deficient, as his OBJ
serving faculty was very deceiving.
Utterly disappointed he returns to his
former vocation of cobbling. The
dialogue met with great applause. I'M
meditely after the close of the enter
tainment followed a short business
meeting. Election of officers took
place for the remaining half of the
season, which resulted as follows:
President, VIM. Lutz; vice president,
Walter Reinemann; secretary, Frank

Shore Owners Own Island

For several years there has been a
dispute of considerable Importance to
land owners in Sauk county over the
ownership Of the islands that lie in the
Wisconsin river, says the Baraboo
Republic. Some of these islands are
eighty and one hundred acres in size
and as land has risen in value, the i'm
portance of determining ownership
has increased. Not only do laymen
differ but attorneys and courts seem
to differ The matter was pretty eff
fectually settled Tuesday when the
supreme court for the second time
passed directly On this question.
The first case that went to the su-
preme court from Sauk county was
Sitter VS.. Carpenter and involved title
to an island near Spring Green. Short
ly afterwards a case arose near Sauk
City where Mr.. Bentley took posses
sion of a valuable island and even
secured patent from the United
States Mr.. Ferris who owned the
bank of the river brought suit to oust
Mr.. Bentley from possession of the
island. The supreme court Tuesday
again announced the rule that the
owner of the bank of the Wisconsin
river owns to the center of the river
and any island that lies between the
center of the river and the bank be-
longs to the owner of the bank. A
third case arising near Sauk City is
now on it's way to the supreme court
unless the decision of Tuesday should
make such appeal unnecessary.

Doing Business

Theo B. Roach, who represents the
manufacturers of the best line of autos
on the market, is certainly doing busi-
ness and making sales, that count up
into the thousands of dollars and much
more to follow. During the past few
days, he has sold machines to large
number of persons, among them are:
f. c. Cisshail, Randolph; B. c. TOmetzee
Beaver Dam; Geo. Reeder, Clinton; Alex
Russell, Janesville; f. F. Burgy, EGger-
ton; E. c Earl, EdgeTtOn; Liss Miller
Milton Junction: Chas. HOlway, La
Crosse; G. f. Stephens, MOntfOrt; c. E.
Lepman, Beloit.
The secret of his success is, the ma
chine he handles, which is the leader
and almost sells itself.

last annual meeting which was large
ly attended, went on recOrl as advo-
eating many improvements on the
grounds which of course necessitates
the expenditure of considerable sum
of money, not now obtainable from
the society treasury, but with a de-
termination to make good, a commit

for this purpose and is meeting with
success, so that the improvements
can be assured.

fair proposition it may be stated that
several towns are now contemplating
organizations to hold fairs the pres

precious and uplifting thought when
the horse reporter trotted into his sacred
seclusiOn.
What would you say" inquired the
horse reporter after the lit. ed. had been
aroused to sublunary affairs, 'if man
sent you in verse of poetry that read
like this?" And he lined off the follow
ing couplet:
Help us save free conscience from the
paw
Of hlreling wolves whose gospel is their
nav,
The lit ed. burst into r0arS OF laugh
ter-real horse laughs, they Were-bul

That's all right" he said, but what
do you think of it?"
did you write it?" hawhawed the lit :.
ed. 'It sounds like severaI of yours
that have had to decline. By J"ve. old
chap, you ought to stop trying to write
poetry and stay with the ponies Look
at that rhyme-paw and NAV. Wis, il

explaine,, humbly.
well, you ought to be glad you didn't.
Who is the guilty wretch?"
"His name was Milton, firsI name
John," he said. You've heard of John,

those are the last two lines Of sonnet
he handed out to Lord General Cromwell
self" And the horse reporter pranced
out OF the sacred seclusion snorting
with joy.

WISCONSIN CONDITIONS
CALL FOR CONSERVATION
Cit ZenS of the State Must Aid in
Great Work BY Joining
the Association

Oshkosh, March 3, 1910.-The WiscOn-
sin State committee of the National Con-
seryatiOn association in its address to
the public calls attention to the cOndI-
tiOns in Wisconsin. These conditions

proved land.

sixth developed.
"Our developed water power is enjoy

Plans for Inter County Fair

The value of the county fair as a
business asset to be reckoned with by
cities is fast coming to be recog-
nized in Wisconsin where the annual
exhibitions attract large crowds of
people during the fall months. This
fact is becoming more noticeable ev-
cry day and the Watertown fair of
1909 was an example of what can be
expected in the way of crowds and
enthusiasm to say nothing of the di-
rect and indirect value accruing from
these annual gatherings. With a
