JOHN SCHOEBERLE.
KILLED BY TRAIN
Redwood Resident Meets With
Fatal Accident Last Evening
on His Way Home.

His many friends in Watertown were
prieved indeed to learn this morning
that last evening, John Schoeberle OF
Redwood, was struck by a Milwaukee
road train, receiving injuries from
which he died soon after the fatal ac-
cident. It seems that Mr.. Schoeberle
left Redwood for his farm home and
was walking along the railway track
when he was struck by Conductor Nc
Ouenie's train, the accident occurring
about 7 o'clock. Mr.. McQueenie tele-
phoned back that his train had struck
Mr.. Schoeberle, adding that he was
still alive. A hasty trip was made to
the scene of the accinent, but the vic
tim passed away before Reeseville
could be reached and without regainlng
consciousness. The news OF the accl-
dent was phoned by Conductor Nc
Oueenie to Herman Radloff, a Reese
Vile merchant. Just how the accident
came about, further than the facts
stated, will probably never be known.
Mr.. Schoeberly was about forty-fve
years of age and leaves a family, the
members of which have the sympathy
of their many friends in their great be-
reaVement.

FARMERS BADLY
in NEED OF HELP
Coming of Spring Offers Help to
Unemployed Of
ferS a Solution.

With the coming of spring there is a
way to relieve the unemployment situ-
alton which has been so pressing a pro-
blem during the winter months.
Throughout the state there are thou
sands OF farmers who need men to work
their farms. In the cities their are
thousands of men who need Jobs. The
state has provided medium for bring
ing together these two classes in the free
employment bureau. The Milwaukee
Journal urges the farmers to obtain
their help through this agency. Any
farmer who wants men can get as many
as he needs by telling his wants to the
employment bureau at Milwaukee. The
service is absolutely free-nOt cent of
expense to either the man who offers the
job or the man who takes it.
The more men working on the farm
this summer, the fewer unemployed there
will be existing in, want in the cities.
The farmers can help by absorbing as
much as possible of the labor supply
which is now idle because of the indus
trial depression.
Apply now to the employment bureau
for the men you need. Don't you farm
sh0rt-handed this summer. There is no
need of it when a postal card will put
you in touch with an enormous labor
supply in the cities, eager for work.

new PROCESS
PR|N NTINC THE GO
Leader Turning Out Exact Dupli-
cate of Enclosing and En-
craving Cheaper.

The attention of the readers Of the
Leader is called to the new process of
printing being turned out at this Of
flee, machine for this special purpose
having recently been added to the equip
ment. This is the very latest known in
the art of printing and has been max
ing decided hit with all who have
ordered or seen the work. In short, the
work is the same as regular embossed
work with the noteworthy improvement
that the back of the sheet is not in the
lt asst disfgured. Best of all, you get the
embossed effect and at price but little
in excess OF ordinary printing. The
new process also permits of turning out
wedding invitations and announcements
and all other high class stationery so
that they are exactly the same effect as
the engraved and like the embossed
process, only trifie more than the reg
ular printing. Those who have had ex-
perience with embossed and engraved
printing know that it is a rather ex-
penSive luxury. In the Leaders new
process work the same effects are
brought out and at prices most reason
able. When ready to order your next
stationery, Call at the Leader office and
see samples of the new process printing
and get prices on any class of work de-
sired. Satisfaction is guaranteed in
every case.

Times CRITICISM
OF The LEADER
But it Loses Sight of Its Many Un-
pdrdOndble BlunderS on
all Public Matters.

1t is quite evident the bunch at the
"hOle in the ground" are readers of the
Leader. We will say to the brainy (?)
fellows that the admission is made that
the two errors ia the last issue of the
Leader, as charged, did really appear,
having escaped the attention of the
proof reader. In the reference to the
Cody affair, the .compositor followed
copy in the article taken from the JEFF
ferson Banner, although this not intend
ed as an excuse for the term sanitary
inquiry"
In the same issue of the Daily Times
in which appeared the criticism of the
Leader, is an announcement of the mar
riage of Henry Kohl, which occurred on
February 10th and appears in the enter
prising (?) local daily sheet in its issue
of March 3rd. The Leader gave this
item of local interest to its readers in
its issue of Feb. 23rd, a week and one
day ahead of the daily. This is but one
of many instances where the Times fell
lows have been "asleep at the switch"
and permitted the Leader to SCOOP"
them on items of general interest. In
the transfer of the Orpheum theatre, the
Leader gave the news to it's readers sew
eral hours ahead of the critics. In re-
cent issue of the Leader there appeared
thirty-six items which escaped the at
tention of the Times entirely.

ASkinu a Good Deal.

At the last regular meeting of the
common council resolution was adopt
ed unanimously asking the members of
the legislature for the district in which
Watertown is located to secure the en-
actment of law giving cities Of the
second and third class local self govern
ment. Such law would no doubt be
beneficial in many respects, but on mat
tiers of social and moral character it
might work great harm-by taking such
cities out from under the control of
state laws.

publicans from various parts of the state

A Chance For You.

We are going to help you and ourselves
at the same time. We are going to ed
ucate you UP TO the value of using the
classified department of The Leader
Have you any idea of the money you
could make if you were to let all the
people in this county know what YOU
had for sale? Do you know that no
matter how apparently useless some
article has grown, some other person
has a use for that article AND WILL
BUY IT?
But he cannot buy it if be does not
know WHERE to get it. In the big
cities the classified departments of the
newspapers are as INTERESTING AS
THE NEWS COLUMNS. In fact they
contain real live NEWS And those
who use them are reaping great advan
tages-BOTH THE BUYERS AND THE
SELLERS.
Of late the smaller papers are pushing
their classified departments into more
more prominence. The other day we
picked up a weekly, published in
county seat town in Wisconsin. Its
classified column was "a WONDER" +"
Apparently everyone in the county was
using and reading it. Lack of space
prevents us from reproducing it, although
we would like to do so. But here are a
FEW of the things that were advertised
for sale by the farmers and the towns
people: Houses. lots, farms, glass cup
board, chickens, sewing machine, tur
keys, rugs, eggs, upholstered goods,
crockery, geese, butter, correspondence
school course, cheese, feathers, manure,
incubator, horses, finger ring, autOmo-
bile, jars of fruit, fence posts, hogs,
plain and fancy,) embroidery lessons,
suit of clothes and fur OvercOat, home
made bread colt, library Of 100 vol
umes, home knit socks, cream separator,
two calves, concrete block machine,
tame bear. gasoline engine, heating
stove, hay, rag carpets, home cured hams
and bacon, wind MILL a general store,
soy beans, alfalfa meal, desk and chair,
typewriter, cabinet organ, short horn
bull, bird dog, hay stacker, rake and
loader, five tons of coal and gun. :
If YOU have any of the above named
articles for sale-or anything like them
let us know and we will run a classi-
fed ad in The Leader. The cost is very
small-only cents per line for one in
sertion or 2H cents per line for three
insertions. For cents per line we will
keep your ad running for 10 weeks.
Someone wants what YOU have to SELL
