cause for complaint or dissatisfaction
could possibly arise from anyone. These
druggists say-"Buy bottle of this rem

Bronchial Affection, and we will return
your money, just the same as we do with
Schiffmann's famous estimator, If 1t

the best remedy ever used for any of
these complaints" Why not take ad-
vantage of this guarantee and try this

or on the strength of testimonials from
others and run the chance of getting
something worthless and also wasting

than ordinary interest to the citizens
of Watertown
Early in the present week Ex-MayoT
Wertheimer, president, and w. S. Sic
bert, manager of the Watertown Can
ming company, went TO Plainview
Mimi, where they inspected the plant
of the Plainview corn canning plant
and before they returned to Water
town the Minnesota plant was the
property of the Watertown Canning
company.
The Plainyiew plant has been de-
voted to the canning of corn, and will
be kept in that line of work for the
present season, but it is the intention
Of the new owners to convert it into
a plant which will handle peas and
other vegetables, possibly by the time
Of the canning season next year.
The country surrounding Plainview
is one of the greatest corn raising
communities in the northwest, and a
supply Of material for canning pur-
poses is assured along that line; but
that is not all There is also raised
in great abundance in that same 10
cality vast quantities of vegetables,
and especially cabbage, and the sauer
kraut industry is no inconsiderable
part of the revenues of Plainview.
The gentlemen who made the trip
and purchased the northern plant re-
port that they are quite well pleased
with the terms of the purchase, and
that while they will spend considera-
BILE money to remodel the plant, it will
be to enlarge the capacity. The plant
as it now stands has a capacity of
10000 cases of corn annually, and not
more than $4,000 will be expended to
enlarge it for a greater and more
varied output.

the Base Ball Situation.
A NEAR TOWN LEAGUE DESIRED

purpose of discussing the base ball
possibilities for the coming year.

astic fans were present to express
their opinions on the matter, and to
elect officers for the ensuing year.
Pete" Kronitz, who has helped Wa
tertown land several city league pen
ants, and who is the recognized leader

pose OF making some arrangements

tives from Madison, Milwaukee, Fort
Atkinson, Whitewater, Beaver Dam
and Watertown will be present Mayor
Kading, Senator Mulberger, Alder
man Kohn and William and George
Richards were among those who gave
talks explaining the outlook for this
years team.
There have been several leagues
considered by the Watertown team
but inasmuch as some of the nearby
towns anticipate organizing strong
teams this year and as they are anx-
ious to have local league started, il
is quite possible that such an organic
alton will be started.
