Substantial Improvements.

Among the substantial improvements
in the city Of late, are those of M. Fitz-
gel aid on his two buildings on Second
street, between Main and Market SITS.
A new up-to-date front takes the place
of the old antiquated one on the build
ing in which he has his office. With
other improvements, it makes the office
one of the most convenient and pleas
ant in the city. : The second floor has
been arranged as hall and is COM
plete in every respect and will be occu-
pied by the Knights of Columbus, the
society having leased it for term of
five years. We doubt if there is a pret-
tier rlittle hall in this section of the
state. The building adjoining, next to
the alley, has been greatly improved.
The ground floor is occupied bv William
GrOssert as an office and tin and iron
working shop; the second story by the
Leader and the third story has been
changed into an inviting hall for the
use of club or society, or for social
purposes at a moderate rental. A steam
heating system has been installed for
both buildings, so that fires will be OBJ
Waited and both made comfortable dur
inc the winter.

Should Pull Together.

Watert0wn had her gross of troubles
when she was handicapped IN her pro-
gress by railroad bonds, but she sur
vived it and less than two decades ago
entered upon career of enterprise that
can hardly be excelled by any city in
the state. Knowing its citizenship and
being familiar with its conditions for
many years, Watertown is looked up to
as one of the governed municipalities in
the state, city noted for its high STAN
dard of citizenship and morality. Little
dissensiOns will of course occur, but a
little more appreciation of the good
things will cure it all.-Juneau indie
pendent.
As Bro. Clifford says, WatertOwn is a
beautiful city, none more so in the state.
There is very large number of excellent
citizens whose ideals are high and who
are striving to bring the city up to their
standard of morality by sane regula
tiOn of the saloon business and the clos
ing of saloon stalls and back-rOOms
nights, which have been productive of
much of the immortality of which com.
plant is made. The dissensOns, to
which reference is made, ale calculated
to uplift the city government and have
resulted in many social and moral i'm
prOvements, but the trouble has been, if
you had opinions of your own and dared
express them, however pleasantly ex-
pressed, you were insulted and abused in
the most venmOus language which could
be employed. 1t has aroused resentment,
unified those opposed to some of the con-
ditiOns in the city which was demon
strated at our last municipal election,
when nearly majority of the voters OF
the city protested against the gag"
rule which has obtained in the city for
some time. But change is coming-it has
already made its appearance, and peace
will reign whenever every citizen, how
ever humble he may be, will have
square deal and hearing.

cross the tracks of the Milwaukee road
he was struck by passenger train No. 2
and both his legs were severed from his
body aud he lived on about an hour after
the accident. He was Ga his way 10
Milwaukee and it appears from the
statement of those having knowlege of
the circumstances that the unfortunate
man attempted to cross from the depot
to the south track as the train pulled in
and was hit while in the act Of doing so,
DR.. Moulding was summoned but found
upon his arrival that Carl was beyond
any human help ami soon passed away,
from the shock and loss of blood. but
was conscious until the end. He was an
employee of the Brandt-Dent Co, of
this city, and well known, having been
born here, February "a, 1884, and lived
here all his life. He is survived by his
mother, Mrs. Carl Terwedow, three sis
ters, Mrs. Gustav Walthers of Milwaukee
Mrs. John Behnke and Miss Lillian Ter
wedOw of this city; and three brothers,

An Amateur PLAY.

Monday evening Turner opera house
was crowded to learn what Happened
TO Jones" comedy play given for the
benefit of st. Bernard's church, all TAX
ing part in the play being home people,
and the writer can say without exag-
geration that each one who took part
did exceeding we'll and that the acting
as whole was just as good as many of
the companies which visit our city.
The cast of the play was as follows:
College Professor Raymond McAdams
4 Shrew Wife-Mrs. S.fE. Holmes.
A Sister-in- -Law-Miss Olive Parks.
A Ward-Miss Edna Chadwick.
Two Daughters Misses Hattie and
May Zoelle
A swedish Seryant-Miss Lydia Pease.
Daughters Lover-Simon Casey.
A Book Agent-Frank P. McAdams.
The Blshop-Raymond Reichardt.
A Lunatic-Roman NJ. Hahn.
Pollceman-Lawrence Lange.
1t would be hard to particularize as
all did well and carried their several
parts admirably and exhibited much
dramatic talent. 1t is hoped that the
same cast will favor the people of Wa
tertown with another play at no distant
day.

It is Awful Easy to Talk.

Monday evening, John H. Wangerin of
Milwaukee, addressed the members of
the Twilight club at the weekly ban
quet held at the Hotel Commercial, his
subject being the feasibility of securing
malleable iron works for Watertown.
He alluded to the fact that there were
several such iron plants in Milwaukee
and all doing we'll. He thought Water
town good point for such an industry
because Of low taxes and freedom from
strikes, also railroad facilities. The
capital required for building. equip
ment and reserve fund would be about
$4,000. The late Canning Factory Co.,
might take up the enterprise.

Joseph Morrisey of Augusta proved
himself to be too fast for Willie Bur
goyne of Waterville, Saturday after
noon, in the one-mile schoolboy race at
the Select Rooler rink, defeating him
by about one and one-half laps a large
crowd was in attendance at the rink and
Morrisey, as usual, was their favorite.
MorriseY took the lead from the crack
Of the pistol and kept gaining on mis-
man SO fast that at the end of two laps
he was almost half lap ahead of him.
With only about two laps to cover the
Waterville boy had a fall, but he was
soon on his feet again and showed much
gameness by continuing the race when
Morrisey had such lead on him. The
time Of the mile was 3 minutes and 80
seconds. Earle Grenier and Fred Nor
ton were the scorers, and Fred Murree
acted as starter,
