Democrat Club Organized

Tuesday evening. quite number Of
democrats met at the city hall for the
purpose of organizing club to aid in
the campaign now in progress in the
state. An organization was effected by
the choice of John J. Brusenbach as
president and O. A. Wegemann as secre-
tary and Emil Tanck treasurer, and an
executive committee appointed. Remarks
were made by several Of those presentand
much enthusiasm prevailed, each and
all being confident of victory at the polls
November 8. The democratic party in
this state certainly has a fighting chance
as it has had at several elections in re-
cent years, which was lost by large num-
bers of that faith focking with the fac
tions in the republican party and thus
weakening, if not destroying their own
party. We must have two strong parties
in this country to watch each other, to
prevent graft and dishonest practices by
officials, by giving the people chance
to make changes from time to time as
the interests of the people demand.
Without parties, the tendencies are to-
ward imperialism and substituting one
man power for the will of the people.

Will Keep Open Nights

Within all probability the up town
office of the Western Union Telegraph
company will be opened nights with
in a short while. This is in line with
statement that where there was no
night service such a service would be
instituted in connection with the tele-
phone service. Watertown has never
enjoyed the convenience of a night
office, the closing hour being s. After
that if one wants to use the wires he
must travel to the railroad stations
to get any service at all.
1t is believed that when night
office is opened here that much addi-
tional business will result. The night
letter service alone should bring
about etxra business, as that is COM
ing into popular use. One can send
a night letter of SO words to Chicago
for % cents. 1t is filed in the local
Office, transmitted during the night
and delivered the following morning,
answering all the requirements of a
regular night message at cost of
half a cent word.
The local manager states that ne
will open the office just as soon as the
necessary arrangements can be made.

Balloon Over City


One of the ten big gas bags which
left st. Louis Monday afternoon in
an international race for the James
Gordon Bennett cup, passed over Wa
tertown shortly after o'clock this
morning. The balloon was high in
the air and was travelling in north
easterly direction. It passed over
GAINESVILLE at an earlier hour and Wa
tertown had been advised of it's di-
rection from that city, and a large
crowd gathered in the streets. 1t
could be seen for fully ten minutes
as it passed over the city. The basket
could also be seen but no occupants
were visible to the naked eye.
= The balloon was probably the Ger
mania as it was light in color, and the
Germania was the only. light one in
the bunch of ten which made the as
cent.
The ten balloons were inflated in
ST. Louis Monday and started at
4:50 p. N. Four of them passed over
Milwaukee this morning. In the race
Germany aud the United States are
represented by three pilots each and
France and Switzerland two each.

ample of what can be done by irrigating
methods than in the Belle Fourche
Valley, which lies northeast Of the Black
Hills in South Dakota.
This smiling valley has filled up with
an aggressive and vigorous class OF set

The Chicago & North Westerns new

Newell in direct touch with the markets
Of the Black Hills, Omaha, Sioux City,
Des Moines, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Mil
waukee and Chicago, and Newell is the
present terminus of the line. ~
Temporary buildings have already been
constructed. General stores. news
paper, hotels, and three banks have been
established on the edge of the town wait
ing for the sale of lots to take place.
The sale Of lots will be nnder govern
ment supervisions, and the Secretary OF
the Interior has designated October 9th
as the date upon which this important
event in the history of the valley will
take place. 6...r

people wsll attend with view to taking
advantage Of the call for business men
to come here and reap the benefits of
trade.
A hundred thousand acres of rich irri-
gated valley lands are being thrown
open to the public settlement in the
Belle Fourche and thickly populated
community of prosperous farmers is
springing up into an ideal home of
which Newell will be one Of the centers.

and neighbor in the person of Mr..
Joseph .Salick, who was called into
eternal rest at his residence, 412
North Fifth street Monday He
had been seriously sick for several
days and his death was not unexpect-
ed by his relatives. Mr.. Salick was
one Of the best known citizens of Wa
tertoWn where he resided over half a
century. His was a useful life, devot-
ed to his family and attentive to busi-
ness duties. He was pioneer jewel
er of Watertown and senior member
of the firm Of Joseph Salick Il
Son. A remarkable feature of his
life was that he worked at the jew
eler's bench, up to the age Of S5 years
rest. At the time of his retirement
he was in point of service the Oldest
jeweler in Wisconsin and up to that
time his eyesight and nerves. were in
the excellent condition required for
the care and repair Of watches and
like work. He was known to the jew
elry fraternity of the state as the
father Of them all, having worked at
the bench for seventy years. He
learned the business when a lad at
Burgsteinfurd, near his native town.
Mr. Salick was born in Norwalde,
Westphaha, Germany, January 3,
1924 and served in the German army
during the revolutionary period of
1S48. Later he came to this country
and lived for awhile in Cincinnati and
New Orleans, later. removing to- Mil
waukee. He was married in that city
by the Rev. Salzmann in st. Mary's
church, to Elizabeth Hepp, September
%, 1852 and with his wife, since deceas-
ed had the happiness of celebrating
his golden wedding. In 1853 he re-
moved to Watertown, making the
journey by team and shortly after
engaged in the Matchmaking and jew
elry business, the firm for many years
being located at / and 8 Main street.

tew Gale, Otto Salick Milwaukee;
Benjamin Salick, Centralia, Wash;
Mrs. Benjamin Stetson; Napa, Cal;
Charles J. Salick, Mrs. M. Curley,
Miss Theckla Salick, Watertown.
Thirty-five grandchildren also sur
vive. Mr.. Salick was honored by the
people with many Offices of trust and
responsibility. He served several
terms as alderman and when the old
Central Wisconsin Fair association
was in existence here was it's treas
urer several years. Besides he held
various local society Offices. In 1854
he paid visit to his old home in
Germany, the only break in his long
and useful residence in this city, and
his death will be learned with sor
row by the whole community as one
can truly say of him he lived as near
as possible to the golden rule. AS in
private and business affairs he had
the respect Of all, SO in his! private
life he won and maintained the warm
regard Of all who came in contact
with him, a devoted husband and
kind, father. He made no enemies
but leaves host of friends to deplore

Candidate for Assembly

Fred F. Wittenwyler of this city, who
is the republican nominee for the assem-
bly, for the First District Of Jefferson
county, is young man of ability and
moral and social worth. A good citizen
who will honor any position that he may
be called to fill.
He was born at Portage, Wis, March
6, 1877, of GermanSWiss parents, his
mother being German and his father
Swiss, both having left the land OF their
birth while in their extreme youth.
The elder Wittenwyler being minister,
under the rules and regulations of the
conference to which he was attached,
was obliged to move from one locality
to another about every three years.
That necessitated on the part of the sub
ject of this sketch, attendance at the
public schools in Black Hawk, Racine,
MaZ0mOnie, BarabOO and Milwaukee,
completing the high school course in
the last named city, where he also at
tended business college one year, after
which, he was employed in the private
officeIof Charles F. Ptister Of Milwaukee
as stenographer for two years and then
entered the employ of the Grand Union
Tea Co., and located in WatertOwn ten
years ago.
Since reaching his majority, he has
been identified with the republican
party, reaching his political convictions
through his opposition to free trade and
of late years, has affiliated with the pro-
gressive wing Of his party.
Incidentally, the fact might be men
tened, that among the teachers when he
attended school in Milwaukee was Victor
l.. Berger, leader Of the SOciol Democrat
party in that city.
