A Home Wedding.

Monday evening, the Rev. Julius
Klingmann made two hearts beat as one
and two minds with a single thought
by uniting in marriage, Mary, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Arndt,
214 Monroe street and Mr.. John Fitzger-
aid, formerly of Green Bay, the marriage
taking place at the residence of the pa
rents of the bride. The happy couple
were attended by Miss LeOna Arndt and
Mr.. Leonard Arndt. After the marriage
reception was held attended by large
number of relatives and friends of the
contracting parties to extend congratu-
lations TO them and wish them unlimit-
ed domestic joy and prosperity.

Pass Such an Ordinance.

The Leader is in hearty accord with
the Times in its advocacy Of the pas
sage Of an ordinance empowering the
police to make arrests without war
rents, when the law is being violated.
Ter The present rule, no arrest can
made unless complaint is made by
citizen, who may be knowing to the
infraction OF the law, and citizens re-
frain from doing SO, not wishing to be-
come complainants and then they do
not know of such infractions of the
law. The police are employed to con-
serve the public peace and protect
property and should have the power to
do so on all occasions.
Watertown is sorely in need of few
ordinances tending toward the better
ment Of the city. We believe that the
showing Of the trend of public senti-
ment in our municipal election of last
week will have a tendency to check
the abuse Of good citizens when they
seek from our city official moderate re-
forms reforms that only SAVIOR of civic
deCency.

BEAUTY NO LONGER A MARVEL
Time Has Gone BY When World
Stopped to Wonder at Lowell
ness of Women,

Within the last week two well-known
beautiful, rich society girls, both
young, both popular, with all doors to
which society has the key flung open
before them, have elected to go into an
East End hospital and scrub floors for
pauper invalids. Perhaps they will
not stick to it; the important thing is
that they want to try it.
The fact Is that we are no longer
sufficiently satisfied with beauty to
think woman has justified herself by
being good to look at. Thirty or forty
years ago people came from every
part of the world to see Georgiana
Lady Dudley, Mrs. Langtry and Mrs.
Cornwallis-West walk In the park At
an earlier date the beautiful Cummings
caused riots, SO great was the anxiety
to see them. Anne of Austria drew
people from the most inaccessible cor
ners of what was then a very inacces-
sible world, who made their way with
year-long Journeys to Paris, caught a
glimpse of her entering her carriage
and went home again saying they had
seen loveliness itself. Today we
would not cross the road to see a pret
ty woman, possibly because there are
SO many of them. Indeed, beautiful
women of today are more admired by
women than by men. But in any case
beauty as a profession is dead.-Lon-
don Truth.

In Politics to Stay.

man who enters politics loses his
eace Of mind, according to a story told
hy Senator Bob" Taylor of Tennessee.
81 once knew man from my part Of
he country" said Senator Taylor, "whO
ha a nice little farm and was entirely
satisfied with life. Some well meaning
friends, however, came along and per-
suaded him to run for the legislature.
After good bit Of coaxing they sue
ceeded, and he was defeated. Not con-
tent, he decided that at the next election
he would again be candidate. He was
again defeated, and so on for thirty
years.
'FinaIly he became convinced that the
people did not want him to represent
them in the legislature, and he decided
to commit suicide.
'NOt wishing to make failure of the
job, he bought rope, some kerosene and
a revolver. Then, taking his old boat,
he rOwed down the river which ran near
his farm until he came to a big over
hanging tree. He saturated his clothes
with the oil, placed the rope around his
neck and tied it TO tree. struck a match
on his trousers and kicked away the
boat. He then placed the revolver to his
head and fired.
"Tlre revolver shot struck his head and
glanced off, cutting the rope and letting
him fall into the water. which extin-
guished the blaze. He Waded out, and
when he found himself intact, concluded
that Divine Providence bad saved him.
"At the next election he ran on a re-
form ticket"

Sixty DAYS This Time.

Herman Kraft who resides in the
Sixth ward and by way of diversion
pounds up his wife periodically, was
hailed before Justice Schwieger Tuesday
morning for exercising his fists upon
his poor, suffering wife. 1t seems that
he was wallOping one of his children
without caUse and his wife interferred
in behalf Of the child and then he turned
upon her. After hearing the evidence
the justice fnbd him $50 and costs or
thirty days in the bastile at Juneau.
Being unable to cough up the shekels,
he took the thirty days and then turning
to his unfortunate wife said: Just wait
until [ get out" and then the justice
gave him 30 days more and told him to
behave or he would make it 80 days.
Such men should pound rock on bread
and water diet until they learn to treat
their families right.

Thorn MdrQudrt.

At st. Peers church in Fond du Lac
Monday morning at $50 o'clock occurred
the wedding Of Miss Annetta Marquart
Of this city and Mr.. AdOlph G. Thorn, the
Rev. g. E. Bergmann officiating. The
marriage was a surprise to the mary
friends of the young couple and was the
elimination of a romance which began
several years ago when the groom was
employed in herailrOad service between
WatertOWn and JanesVille. After we'd
ding tour in the south they will reside
in handsome residence on the east side
Of Fond du Lac, 62 Champion avenue.
The bride is the only daughter of Mr.
Henry Marquart, who resides at 914
North Fourth street and her friends wish
her and the man of her choice happiness
and prosperity.

the city treasury every dollar Of which
can be recovered by an action in court,
and it is quite probable, that such will
be the case should The practice continue.
With but few exceptions, every resident
Of WatertOWn can read English and it is
a waste of the money of the taxpayers to
have the proceedings printed IN any
other language for the benefit of few,
comparatively speaking. 1T has become a
political sop and it is time that the tax
payers entered a vigorous protest against
the practice Of using the city treasury
for political purposes. The Leader be-
lieyes that the printing should be let to
to the lowest bidder and it is time the
council acted for the best interests Of the
taxpayers and tried to save, instead of
wasting the city funds to bolster up GER
tain interests in the city.

Live Stock Exhibit Cars.

The 'Live Stock Special" of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin was here Saturday
afternoon near the Milwaukee depot and
was visited by many farmers and busi-
ness men. Lectures along lines of in
terest to farmers were delivered by those
who accompanied the exhibition. The
main feature Of the exhibit was dis
play of farm animals, especially the
best grade Of horses and their value
shown. and farmers advised to secure of
the best, and as to the dairyiDg industry,
which is Of great Importance in this
section, it was advised to secure only the
best grade of cows, those which will pro-
duce the most and best milk that fair
profit may be made on our high priced
agricultural lands. With scrub cows
there is no profit to the farmer. Only
with the best is there any income COM
mensurate with the price of land, labor
involved and expenses.

A Curious Mix.


The recent election in this city de-
veloped some curious phases. Two
thousand and twenty-seven ballots were
cast Of which, at least | 400 were demo-
cratic and 600 republican, yet the unit
ed vote for the democratic presiden-
tial candidates was only 954 and the re
publican candidates 566, showing that a
large number of the voters did not vote
for either of the presidential candidates
and scattered their votes among the
delegates for both candidates of their
respective parties. 1t was one of the
beauties of our boasted primary system,
devised by reformers to make voting
perpleXing and uncertain.

Elm ClueCkliCher Fdmilievdter.

As has been their yearly custom, mem.
bers Of the Pabst Theatre Stock Company
of Milwaukee, will this spring again
undertake short trip thru the Middle
States.
On Friday, April 26th the company in
! tends TO present in Waterfowl, for one
night only, the Star performance Elm
Gluecklicher Familienvater," "(The Happy
Family Father a musical farce in acts
by c. A. GOerner. This imperturbable
comedy has lately experienced an un-
precedented run in the best theatres of
Germany.
| The author of THE Family Father
has understood better than anyone to re-
produce natural characters on the Stage.
He was one of the last, worthy represen-
tatives of the old school.
In the play the author shows us the
married life Of hen-pecked artist, who
| is easily induced by his easy-g0ing
friend, Max Leichtheim to rebel. This
friend, who is so fortunate as TO possess
rich uncle, is confirmed bachelor,
who has made up his mind never to get
married, notwithstanding his uncIe's
wishes to the contrary. In writing to
his uncle, he deceives him however, by
telling him he is happily married and
the proud father of child. The unsus-
pecting and kind uncle is delighted and
keeps on sending extra allowances, un-
til he (the uncle) after getting over
spell OF sickness announces his inten-
tiOns Of coming to Berlin to visit with
his nephew. In his despair. the nephew
implOres his friends wife to pose as his
own wife, who, however, positively re-
fuses. Here her mischievous sister
comes to the rescue, who has designed
for some time past, to change the care
less bachelor into steady-gOing spouse.
She agrees to play the bachelors wife
and does it SO perfectly and charmingly,
that the uncle becomes enraptured and
decides to stay with them for good. In
consequence, all sorts Of confusion and
drOll situations arise, due also to the
fact that the uncle has taken everything
for granted which the nephew wrote
him in his letters. He thinks the artists
baby belongs to his nephew, but the
Daby'S mother refuses to be a party to
this deception and the uncle does not
know what to make of it. He becomes
confidential with the artist who gets
jealous of his wife and challenges his
friend to duel.
Finally, however, matters are ex-
planned, the nephew gets cured, and
really marries to the satisfaction of his
uncle.
The play offers the artists an Oppor-
tunIty to inteTject appropriate topical
songs. Mr.. Paul Gehring in the role of
Uncle Peterman will sing comic coup
let, also Miss Forster in the role of Clara.
Mr.. KIeeman brings the latest Berlin
hit composed by Otto Ruetter entitled
Zach die There haben's besser ais die
Menschen auf der Welt" which literally
translated means: 'Oh the beasts have
it better than the human beings in this
world" Aside from these, Miss Forster
and Mr.. Kleeman will sing the matri-
mOnial duet.
Those who wish to spend real pleas
ant, entertaining and enjoyable evening,
should not fail to secure their seats in
time.

For an Idle Moment.
DIDN'T GIVE HIM TIME TO CACKLE.

The new schoolma'am of a country
school was introducing the "barnyard
game to the pupils during the recess
period one winters day.
Each of you," she explained, must
represent some barnyard animal OF
fowl"
The children entered heartily into the
game, and soon the room resounded with
medley of neighs, bawls. grunts. crows
and other sounds in imitation of horses,
cows, pigs, roosters, etc.
During ali this time one little fellow
over in the corner had not moved nor
uttered a sound.
Johnnie, what's the matter? Why
don't you join in the game?" the teacher
asked.
"Sh!" says Johnnie. I'm laying an
egg"

Will Erect Brick Bull dina

Edward Specht is having the plans and
specifications prepared for building
which he will have erected this season
at the northwest corner of First and
Market streets, opposite the Hotel Com
mercial. The building will be 3Ox5O
feet in size, two stories in height, and
will be built of brick and have dll of the
modern improvements. The ground
floor will be for a store room and the
second floor for fiat which Mr.. Specht
will occupy as home, thus giving him
more room in the building he now
occupies, which his business demands.
