compromise referendum bill. His
proposed amendment to the consti-

Interesting discourse.

Members of OliVet Commandery
No. Is, Knights Templar attended re-
ligious services at st. Paul's Episco-
pal church Easter at which an appro-
pirate program was rendered. The
Easter sermon was delivered by the
Rev. Edmund b. Young Of Nashotah
college and was much appreciated by
the commandery members. Mr.. Young
confined his address to the Easter
subject, the significance Of which he
illustrated very beautifully in word
picture which impressed his hearers
very fOrcibly. Mr.. Young is a very
pleasing speaker and withal handled
his subject in a manner which left
little room for doubt in the minds of
his hearers as to the religious influ-
ence of the Easter festival.
The fine musical program was
directed by Mr.. Edward l.. Schempf
and was in keeping with the festival
and greatly appreciated by the Com
mandery.

By authority Of law and in harmony

appreciation of the beauties of nature,
ArbOr and Bird day has been established.
1t is therefore recommended that this

[ hereby publish this proclamation.

Will Resume Work.

The old M. D. Wells Company shoe
factory which was closed here owing
to the death Of M. D. Wells will be
reopened on May / with a full force
Of operatives. This was definitely
decided in Chicago Friday and the
statement was given out that all nee
essary arrangements with this end in
view had been made. The factory
has been practically idle for the past
two weeks and it's reopening will be
cheering news to the large number
of employees who were thrown out Of
employment temporarily.
2 The Wells factory was one of the
city's leading industries, employing
a large number of men at good wages.
The factory will be under the man
agement OF HI. w. Heinrichs, former
ly vice president of the Wells Com
pany, but the latter company will be
in no way interested as it is out of
business. Mr.. Heinrichs, who is a
practical shoe man, was in Water
town this week, making some neces-
sary arrangements.

NUMBER 35
The Mayors Message.

The mayors message to the
common council is to be commended,
especially, that portion recommend
ing economy, and that no more
bonds bes.issued. At the present
time, bonds to the amount $2Io, 900
are outstanding and this year, the
city must eXpend S24 900 in paying
interest and retiring bonds. The
city Indebtedness is approximately
SIS per capita for every man, wo-
man and child within the corporate
limits and should the aggregate
wealth of the city be divided per
capita, it would only be S43 90 per
head. A large bonded indebted
ness is a mortgage on real property
and depreciates its value, for no
one wishes to invest when it be-
comes known that there is a large
Indebtedness and taxes are outra-
geously high. 1t was we'll that
Mayor CRUDE called attention to,
the condition which confronts the
city and the taxpayers, and his
suggestion, that the council should
not augment the Indebtedness and
add to the burdens of the taxpayers
is timely, and it will be we'll if the
aldermen give heed to the recon-
mendation for greater economy in
public expenditures, at least, until
our present indebtedness has been
llquated, and then only such ex-
penditures as are absolutely neces-
sary to keep the streets, bridges
and city property in repair.

The jury Disagreed.

The jury in the case Of John Kiltz OF
the town of Pennington, charged with
the murder Of John E. Shannon and tried
last week in the circuit court at Jetfer-
son, disagreed and were discharged
Saturday by Judge Grimm. The jury
was out twenty hours and it was i'm
possible Cor them to agree upon a YER
diet as some Of the jurors thought that
the death Of Shannon was accidental, as
his body was found in close proximity to
a horse in barn and there was no evil
dence of murder, except circumstantial,
and that very weak. Kiltz was ordered
by the judge to appear at the September
term of the court, but it is very probable
that there will not be another trial.

A Correction without Apology

The Leader was in error last week in
saying that the Imperial Band gave a
concert in this city recently which was
highly appreciated. 1t was a Madison
musical organization that gave the con-
cert under the auspices Of the Imperial
Band, but that does not detract from
the merits of our local organization
which is making satisfactory progress
and can tOOt their own horn.

Mrs. Woodard had been in poor
health the past winter, but was con-

from this community a woman who
lived a truly Christian life and who
which goes to make up fine charac-

and she was born in Oneida, New
York, March 9, 1888. She was one

of whom is now living, Mrs. T. W.
Anderson of Stevens Point. She was
married in Oak Grove, Dodge county,
February 25, 1855, and after a short
residence there and in Beaver Dam
and RubicOn, came to Watertown
where she has resided for forty
years. Two children were born to the
union, only one son, Wesley E.

certainly it would be difficult to cite
another officer so we'll qualified for
the position of chief instructor in
aeronautics. Captain Chandler might
be denominated the dean of Uncle
Sans military birdmen for, as a pio-
neer, he got into the game as the pilot
of that first gas balloon purchased by
the War Department when the aerial
craze had its beginning some years
back. Later he took up aeroplaning
and has been continually in touch
with developments and the progress
of invention. which is just as impor-

from aeronautics. particularly when
there are so many single men not only

The chief function of Uncle Sans

train at College Park is huge sign
warning them that they venture on
the aviation field at their peril.
The name, College Park, should not
have an unfamiliar sound in the ears
of the public in connection with avia-
ton matters. It was the site selected
by the governmen for the final trials
of that first Wright aeroplane that
formed the initial purchase of the
War Department in this line of shop
ping. For time opinion held that
College Park was one of the ideal
spots of America for flying, and there
was talk of holding there the inter
national aviation meet that later took
place near New York City. Then, all
of sudden. the government experts
seemed to experience a change CT
heart. They went off in search of
more ideal aerdromes, particularly in
the South, and 1oosed their captive
war birds at various points-notably
in the vicinity of the great army mo-
bilization camp in Texas. Now after
this prospecting they have returned
to their first love and have esta blish-
ed at College Park the permanent and
principal governmental aviation field

less continuously the attention of peo-

in ?. dearth OF candidates that the rub
comes, but in the time consumed in
training each individual. Several
months are required by the most apt
pupil. for we must take into consider
alton that the weather does not per-
NIT flying every day and at all hours
of the day, and when there are only
about half a dozen aeroplanes avail
able as practice ships" it may be
surmised that the roster of graduates
does not grow very rapidly.
Nevertheless there is reason to hope
that this governmental instruction of
birdmen will go forward at a slight
ly increased pace this autumn. The
basis for the hope is found in the fact
that Uncle Sam has at last provided
himself with satisfactory aviation
field, where flying for practice under
the supervision of experts will be car
ried on all the time. This unique kim
dergarten is located at College Park,
Maryland, a village situated between
the cities of Baltimore and Washing

both points. Uncle Sam. however,
does not especially desire spectators
