Business College Closes.

Owing to want of patronage, the
Waterl own Business college has decided
to discontinue the school in this city
and with that end in view the prophet
ors have packed up the furniture, desks,
books, etc, which will be shipped to Ra-
zine where one of their schools is located.
1t is too bad, that city the size OF Wa
tertown cannot support a business college
This we believe is the second attempt,
the first school established here having
been transferred to Fond du Lac. The
manager, +. A. Novak will go TO Stevens
Point where he will occupy similar
position. His many friends here are
sorry to see him go for he is very pop
ular and well liked by all who know
him. He is energetic and certai My
worked hard to make the college a sue
cess. 1t was not due to lack OF energy
on his part that the project was aban-
dOned.

BUSINESS men
MEET MONDAY
Business Mems Association Re-
Gently Organized Meets aid
Adopts Bylaws.

The WatertOwn Business Mems assO-
citation met at the city hall Monday
evening. and the meeting was well at
tended. The minutes of the last meet
ing were read and approved after which
the new bylaws of the organization
were adopted. One Of the articles in the
bylaws brought out considerable dis
cussiOn that of requiring the members
to discharge employees who do not pay
their bills. Several employers of large
number OF men stated that it was good
rule and favored it. Organizer Jacob
sen said that he had been organizing
such associations for ten years and every
organization adopted that rule.
Mr.. Jacobsen made few pithy re-
marks which should strike home to
many people in Watertown. He appeal
ed for more cooperation and frlendller
relations among business rivals. All
should take keener interest in the well
fare of the city. When business man
is asked to run for alderman. school
commissioner or any other Office he gen.
orally says that he is too busy and then
he will complain day after day about
the lawmakers and will knock them and
critiZe their actions. He also stated that
the organization should work for good
roads, that ten miles of good roads lead
ing into the city Was worth more to it
than the railroad. The farmer comes to
the town that has the best roads leading
to it.
The organization will meet every sec
0nd Tuesday Of the month.

Paving Will Not BE Completed.

Every indication points to the fact
that the paving OF Western avenue Will
only be half completed this year owing
to the lateness of the season. While
the work has been pushed forward as
rapidly as possible it will take about two
weeks longer to complete the north half
of the street and it is deemed advisable
by those in charge not TO commence on
the south side until next year as hard
freezing would ruin the paving. The
cement curbing on Western avenue was
completed last Saturday as was also the
excavating. The laying of the concrete
roadway on the north side of street was
in full swing this week. When COM
pleted Western avenue will present a
beautiful appearance and credit to the
city.
