COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT.
HustisfOrd Street improvement VIII
Be Discussed Again.

At the meeting of the city council
tonight, the most important subject
which has so far presented itself, is
the improvement of Hustisford street.
Alderman Kohn asked at the last
meeting to have the matter deferred
he and one other alderman favoring
asphalt instead of macadam. All
other aldermen appeared to favor ma
cadam at the last meeting.
The council has $4,000 to spend on
this improvement, and should asphalt
be selected only about 1000 feet Of
Improvement could be completed this
year, which would not be a great
amount when the entire length of the
street is taken into consideration.
Should macadam be selected the en-
tire street could be improved.
Mr. Kohn's contention is that as
phaIt is the most durable is well taken,
and with the heavy traffic on that
street his talking points have telling
effect; on the other hand a majority
of the aldermen contend that maca-
dam will endure under the traffic on
that street.

tate Brokers. The deliberations Of
this body will take plce in the AL
Ringing theatre.
There are in the organization no
less than 700 members. From the day
OF its organization, this body of men
has had much to do with shaping leg
islation that could in any way affect
the transfer of real estate At the
convention of the body a year ago.
held at Eau Claire, the attendance was
about $50.
For this meeting it is expected that
the matter of licensing brokers and of
establishing higher code of CONNER
cial morals in the fraternity, will come
in for much consideration The mat
ter Of licensing brokers has been up
FOR years, and a majority of the mem
Ders think it should now be disposed
of. Those who attend the sessions of
the convention will hear some good
talk, anyway.
On Thursday evening there will be

cow TESTING.
This Important Subject at Johnson
Creek Institute.

About everybody in Jefferson coun-
ty knows that it pays to test COWS for
production But the question of
method still remains to be discussed.
Wisconsin at present, largely be-
cause of the good work done by the
Wisconsin Dairymen's association,
leads the nation in the number of COW
testing associations formed among
neighboring dairymen. The plan,
wherever given fair trial, has re-
suited in convincing all skeptics that
the association method is the best thus
far devised in the average dairy COM
munity
E. e. Wyatt of Tomah will discuss
COW testing association work in Wis
consin and other states at the John
son Creek Farmers Institute, Feb. II
and 18. Mr.. Wyatt is well informed
upon this subject and the general dis
cussion following the address should
be of help to Jefferson county dairy
farmers, many of whom are already
firm believers in cow testing associa-
lions.
F. M. Balsley of the State Highway
commission, who will speak on the
making of more and better earth roads
is an authority on the question of
highway engineering, and his remarks
are expected to carry weight with
business minded farmers
Many other equally valuable talks
relative to dairy farming and live
stock raising will be presented during
the institute, which is to be in charge
of e. c.. Jacobs of Elk Mound.
All farmers who expect to attend
jhould come ready to ask and answer
all sorts of practical questions, as
this is a farmers school, managed and
attended by farmers, and the most
lively discussions are necessary for
it's greatest success.

CONJUNCTION OF PLANTES.
Astronomers Tell of Great Distances,
but Cellular COSmOgOnists Fail
to See Things i'm That Light.

Residents of this vicinity were IA
vored with a clear sky Sunday even
ing, and could view the conjunction of
Jupiter and Venus, which made a
beautiful spectacle in the western
heavens
The planets were in the same posi-
ton again last evening, but owing to
the cloudy condition no one could view
the spectacle.
Astronomers in giving the result of
their studies on these planets tell us
that Jupiter revolves aroud the sun
at mean distance of 483,00O,000 miles
It's diameter is $4,000 miles, and the
volume is about 1890 times that of the
earth It's year is almost twelve of
our The days on Jupiter are less than
ten hours and they are SO short that
the Jupiter year contains 10,455 of
them
Veuns is 67,000000 miles away from
the sun, these same astronomers tell
u.s. Its diameter is 200 miles, max
ing it twin of our earth. It's year is
255 days, and its days are supposed to
be a little over tWenty-three hours.
All of which is guess work, and does
not in the least enthuse those who be-
lieve in cellular cosmogony.

EQUAL OF ANY, is VERDICT.
Audience Who See Magician at the
Turner Wonder and Mar.
vel mt FeatS.

Fredrik the Great opened a three
night engagement at the Turner Opera
house, Sunday and incidentally un-
loosed whole bagful-said, bag, how
! ever, being of stupendous dimensions
of new and marvellous tricks, illu-
sions that made the audience sit UP
and take notice in wonder and amaze
ment as well as in amusement. The
art of making things out of nothing
apparently has been successfully at
tanned by this clever magician. Rab-
bits, doves, rOOsters, ducks, geese,
canary birds emanated seemingly from
nowhere or from objects or substances
that had not the size, shape or any
elementary similarity to them 1t
was one puZzling trick or illusion
after another and the audience was
kept in state of constant wonder,
next we'll as to how the preceding illu-
sions had been wrought. The pro-
gram was varied and the magician
displayed remarkable versatility, there
being none of that usual sameness to
each succeeding stunt that charac-
terizes the work of so many of the
present day magicians and Illusion
lists. Those who saw him at Sundays
and yesterdays performances voted
him the equal, if not the superior. of
any magician who has visited Water
town in the past.
Fredrik is also a humorist and a
wit and he kept the aundience In
state of rare good nature during the
entire performance.
Augmenting the mirth provoking
features of the show was Geo. Nadol-
ny, juggler of superior attainment
in his line. During the time of his
appearance before the footlights he
kept the audience convu:seG.
Fredrik the Great will repeat his
performance this evening. Anyone
who wishes to drive dull care away
or rest their minds from business or
other cares would do we'll to attend
the show.
Not only will he repeat his perform
ance, but he will permit himself to be
nailed up in a box which was used for
shipping goods to Wegemann-Faber-
Kaercher company, and agrees to re-
lease himself in less than three min
utes, and in no wise damage the box
or leave evidence of his escape beyond
appearing on the stage to prove that
his release is reality. Considerable
local interest is being manifest in
Fredrik's ability to perform this feat.
The box is on display at the clothing
store

THRIFT TALK.

'The thrift habit is a sister to a
Thrift implies industry and, of course
thrift is economy, and economy means
the proper care of things and their
proper use. You do not waste any
thing that can be used. Children
should early be thaught the saving
habit will help them grow up able,
courageous, helpful and willing"
A man in western town wanted to
teach his son the value of money. He
said:
''Our home is in the suburbs where
we can have a good sized garden |
have permitted my eleven year old boy
to have all the money he could make
from vegetables after he had raised
enough for the family.
"At first | disliked the idea of hav-
ing him take orders from the neigh
bors, but when they began to tele-
phone for fresh peas and string beans
and other things, | realized that they
were eager to get the goods, at mod
crate price.
George made SIG from peas alone
and many dollars from other vege-
tables. The garden taught him to work
hard outdoors. how to stick to his
duty and how to handle money. He
was required to save half of all his
earnings and having aquired the habit,
he is eager to do it. The remainder
is ample for spending money to give
him all the things dear to a boys
heart. He has also increased his sales
of papers and other earnings because
| of the desire for work he learned in
the garden experiment.

FACTORY LOOKING
FOR A LOCATION
MCURRACH & SMITH, CHICAGO,
WANT TO LOCATE IN
WATERFOWL.
Manufacturers of Ladies Neckwear
Doing 100000 Business
a Year.

Word has been received by the
Leader from Evansville, Ind, that a
member Of the firm OF McCurrach &
Smith, makers and importers of ladies'
neckwear of high grade, was in that
city looking for a location so they
can move ut of Chicago.
1t is represented to the Leader that
the firm does more that 500, 900 busi-
ness annually. James McCurrach, one
member of the firm, has promised to
come to Watertown next month and
look the ground over, and if he can
procure the proper housing for fac
tory purposes, it is not unlikely that
they will locate here.
The Leader put the proposition up
to Ex-Mayor II. Wertheimer, president
of the Watertown Advancement asso-
citation, and he says that if the gentle
man comes to this city looking for a
location the association will do all
in it's power to induce him to locate
here
Should McCurrach & Smith locate in
Watertown they would employ be-
tween fifty and hundred girls.
Buildings suitable for thier purpose
will be looked over within the next
few days, and an answer forwarded to
the interested parties.

VERDICT FOR RAILWAY.
Ferdinand KOenig Loses Case Against
Milwaukee Road.

The case of Ferdinand Koenig, as
administrator of the state of Arthur
Koenig, deceased, against the Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway com
pany, was tried in the circuit court at
Jefferson last week, and was ended
when non-suit was entered by the
court. The case was not given to the
jury. Contributory negligence on the
part of the plaintiff in getting off OF
a moving train was the contention.
Arthur Koenig, while returning
from visit with friends in the west
ern part of the state, was injured
while alighting from a train at the
station in this city, and died few
days later.
The case occupied almost three
days, and several witnesses from this
city were in attendance upon the trial.

The Nursing Baby.

The best way to ascertain whether
the baby is having enough food or not
is to weigh it Immediately before and
after nursing. The difference in
weight represents the amount of nour-
ishment the child has obtained. Dur
ing the first month the gain after nurs-
ing should be from two to four ounces; !;
the second and third months from
three to five ounces. After the third
month, from four to seven ounces, ac-
cording to age.
If the baby nurses ravenOusly for a
few minutes, then stops and cries, or
does just the opposite, insists upon
nursing for long time, sometimes for
an hour or more, and then cries when
taken away, or if the baby sucks its
fingers constantly, between meals,
does not gain in weight, cries and frets
a great deal, and does not sleep well,
it is safe to assume that the nourish-
ment is MISUNDERSTANDING Wheel
