REMODEL MAJESTIC
Ceiling To Be Raised and New Ma
chine To Be Installed.

The Majestic theatre which was
damaged by fire short time ago is
again being repaired, and is under
going changes which will make it one
of the most up-to-date in the state,
which is saying great deal for the
new management.
The present ceiling is being taken
out so as to give more overhead space
and will give much better ventilation
than is possible under the present con-
dition. The curtain will be raised
from two to three feet, thus placing
the pictures on level with all parts
Of the house, and enable people seated
in the rear to get much better view.
1t is the intention at some future time
to put in balcony and also box seats.
The management is also installing
another machine so as to be able to
show the pictures without breaks be-
tween reels, which makes it much
easier for the audience to follow the
plot of the multiple reel features. In
this way they will be abe to give the
theatre goers of Watertown as good
as is to be had in movies"

PATRIOTISM-LOYALTY.
VIM. G.. Pritzlaff Co. Have Hard
ware Display Window Containing
Home Product.

If patriotism could be defined as
loyalty to country and the display
of our national emblem on Washing
tons birth anniversary; or patronage
of home industries could be interpre-
ted as loyalty to our city, then the
VIM. G. Pritzlaff company must be
placed in a class as both patriotic and
loyal
Beyond question, one of the incest
window displays in Watertown today
is in the PritZlaff store, where the pic
ture of the father of our country is
appropriately draped with flags, and
the goods displayed in the window are
all edge tools, the excellent product
of the Washington Cutlery company,
one of Watertown's substantial man
ufacturing concerns
The window display was conceived
and arranged by J. L. Bruegger. a
member of the Pritzlaff company, and
it would appear that nothing is left
to be said as to the lessons he wished
to representations loyalty, strict
ly high-grade edge tools, and good
place to buy.

WILL BE ISSUED LEADER OFFICE FIRST NUMBER
TO APPEAR MONDAY EVENING,
Investigations Extended Over
TwoM FeelJu n Field

Commencing Monday, March 6, a
daily newspaper will be published
from the Leader office, and the new
publication will be christened "The
Watertown Daily Leader"
There has been an incessant de-
mand upon the present owners of the
Leader that we publish a daily and
while we were willing to listen to all
suggestions bearing upon the sub
ject, it was deemed the better busi-
ness procedure to get the sentiment
of the community before proceeding.
1t is a matter of considerably more
than passing pleasure to be able to
announce to the people of Watertown
that encouragement in the form of
substantial advertising contracts have
been signed by several of the city's
most liberal advertisers, some of them
as long as month ago.
From every quarter of the city
there has likewise been encourage
ment offered of a most liberal patron
age from the buyers of local daily
reading.
Arrangements were made with the
wholesale houses week before last to
supply the necessary material with
which to properly equip for daily
publication, and shipments have been
made of part of these supplies, and
other shipments are now en- route.
A reporter was employed February
2, and he is now in the city ready to
enter upon his duties
1t was the original intention to is
sue the first number of the Daily
Leader on Monday, February %, but
owing to the inability of the paper
houses to supply paper in time the
first publication date was deferred one
week.
There has been nothing spasmotic
about the establishment of the Daily
Leader. The owners were convassing
the field and viewing the situation
from all points of vantage and dis
advantage for the past two months,
interviewing those who would be the
most interested in a new daily publi-
cation in Watertown, and the encour-
agement offered warrants the venture
The Daily Leader will not ask for
more than is due it, and certainly can
not hope for more. 1t will be the aim
of the publishers to give the citizens
of Watertown good, clean, local
daily paper, recording the happen
ings of both our own city and the
world at large, and the special feat
ures contracted for the columns of
the paper will make it a welcome
evening visitor to the homes and busi-
ness houses of our friends

EXTRA SESSION OF
CITY C0UN il TONIGHT
Owing to an Error in the Publication
the Ordinance Nut Be Passed
and Published Again.
DOES NOT AFFECT SALE OF BONDS

The last meeting Of the common
council developed the fact that the
ordinance authorizing the sale of
! $100,0 900 bonds for the high school was
| not in accordance with the wishes of
! the purchasers. inasmuch as the Ordi-
nance authorizing the purchase was
dated one day, and the publication
of the ordinance was dated another
| day. The error was typographical,
and was not the fault of the city au-
thorities authorizing the publication.
Purchasers of the bonds have asked
the city to republish the ordinance,
and an adjourned meeting of the coun-
order republication of the ordinance.
The sale of the bonds will in nOwise
be effected by the error, and after the
meeting tonight the last step the city
can make to correct the error and
remove all clouds in the bond ordi-
nance will be complete.
At the meeting last Tuesday evening
bills were allowed in the sum of $72.44.
A petition asking for the construc-
ton of sidewalks on Center street
and Arcade avenue was referred to
the streets and bridges committee.
A report from the police and fire
commission said that body had de-
cided not to change the classification
of the patrolmen from that of last
year.
Alderman Gruetzmacher presented
resolution which seems at this time
to be an intelligent solution of the
vexed question of procuring a record
of the street lights which are not
burning Heretofore it has been
matter of aldermen reporting the light
outages, and from these reports the
city clerk would make the deductions
when paying the lighting bills.
This plan has not worked to the sat
isfaction of the city, and Alderman
Gruetzmachers resolution would COM
pei the policemen to keep the record
of outages and make report to the po-
lice chief, who would transmit the re-
port to the city clerk, thus giving him
a record over which there could be no
disputes.
A resolution by Alderman Wede
meyer authorized, the city clerk to
have published in all Watertown news
papers the instructions to Voters"
prior to the coming city election.
Alderman Kessler brought up res
olution which had been laid over from
the last meeting, which provided for
the paving of Hustisford street, the
roadway to be thirteen and half feet
wide, composed of lower six inches
of gravel and an upper six inches of
the best limestone, from the west line
of Emmanuel cemetery to the North
Fourth street bridge, including the en-
tire triangular space just north of the
bridge.
Alderman Kohn offered an amend
| ment to substitute asphalt for ma
cadam, but on roll call the amendment
| was lost by vote of 8 to g.
The original resolution to pave the
street with macadam was adopted by
| the following vote: Beurhaus, Bub-
| litz, Glatzel, GruetZmacher, Harte,
| Kerr. Kessler, Knick, Lutovsky and
Wedemeyer. Aldermen Klemann and
| Kohn voted against the the resolution.

AUTO TRUCKS TO
BE MADE HERE
JOHN DORNFELD co. WILL MAN.
UFACTURE In LARGE
QUANTITIES.
Contract With the BrilliOn Concern
Closed Last Week-WilI EN-
plOy Large Force.

The most important manufacturing
deal consumated in Watertown recent
ly was closed last Thursday when
the John Dornfeld company con-
tracted with the Brillion Implement
Manufacturing company of Brillion
Calumet county, to manufacture auto
trucks.
The manufacture of power engines
for farm purposes has undergone a
revolution within the past two or
three years, and few farmers are buy
ing the stationary engines. They are
demanding an engine on truck
which can be used to propel the truck
or can be utilized for power to drive
churns, cutting machines, saws, or any
other farm machinery, and the Brill
ion concern has solved the problem to
the entire satisfaction of purchasers
| purchasers.
/ The BrilliOn concern is the man
ufacturer of a high-grade auto engine,
and to be placed in a position to find
a market for their product have in
tered into contract with John
|
ufacture all parts of the vehicles and
implements excepting the engines,
and assemble and erect them in Wa
tertown. Mr. Dornfeld will also
give space to storage for the COM
pleted work, and Watertown will be
the distributing point from which the
trucks will be marketed
The engine which the Brillion COM
pany manufactures is said to be a
machine which combines power with
| a minimum OF space Occupic /, and is
an engine which embodies new prin-
ciples and of a superior nature.
| The same company owns the plans
from which the final product is made
and the trucks, when completed will
be of all sizes and adaptable for all
classes of work, and for heavy and
light loads.
One of the practical uses to which
the machine can be put is plowing
it being so built that plows can be
attached under the framework instead
of dragging them behind, as is now
! the general mode of construction. This
arrangement, the manufacturers claim
will enable the operator to turn his
gang of plOws in much less space,
and is quite a desirable feature, es-
pecially when field is being ploughed
| where the burrows end near fence.
| The Dornfeld plant in this city is
a large concern, the value of which
is possibly $12O, 900, and when the
| northern gentlemen approached Mr..
| DOrnfeld two weeks ago with their
proposition the magnitude and possi-
| bilities were so attractive that he was
pleased to lend willing ear, and es-
pecially SO when it is known that they
have a gilt-edge commercial rating of
5000.
The local company is now taking
applications for help, it being the in
| tention to put fifty men to work at
| once, and this number is expected to
increase to seventy-fve within a short
| time.
| The Leader has known for several
| days that the deal was pending and
| is pleased to congratulate Mr.. Dorm
! field upon the acquisition of SO i'm
portant a contract as he consum-
| mated last Thursday after his two
weeks of thorough investigation.

The Electric company also had their
troubles. Before the fire broke out
some of their linemen had started fol-
Milwaukee to attend an entertainment
in the Public Service building, but
were called back. When they reached
Watertown they were compelled to
walk from the eastern part of the city
owing to the fact that all electric cur
rent had been cut from trolley wires
from that point through the city.
The Electric company and the Tele-
phone companies were prompt in cut
ting out all current which might en-
danger life, and they are to be com
mended.

THE TVVENTYSECOND
OF FEBRUARY
By William Cullen Bryant.

BY William Cullen Bryant.
Pale is the February sky
And brief the ,nidday's sunny hours;
The wind swept forest seems to sigh
For the sweet time of leaves and flowers.
Yet has no month prouder day,
Not even when tie summer broods
Ger meadows in their fresh array
Or autumn tnts the glowing woods.
For this chill season now again,
Brings, in it's annual round the morn
When, greatest of the sons of men,
Our glorious Washington was born.
Lo, where, beneath icy shield
Calmly the mighty Hudson flows!
BY snow clad fell and frozen field
Broadening the lordly river goes
The widest storm that sweeps through space
And rends the oak with sudden force
Can raise no ripple his face
Or slacken his majestic course.
Thus mid the wreck of thrones shall live
Unmarried, undimmed, our hero's fame
And years succeeding years shall give
Increase of honOrs to his name.

BABY MARIE cssoRNE,
THE YOUNGEST LEADING
WOMAN IN THE WORLD
She Stars Delightfully."- In Pathe
Picture.

Baby Marie Osborne loses her
amateur standing as guileless kid
and assumes the professional dignity
OF an honest.to-goodness leading lady
in Little Mary Sunshine" Pathe
Gold Rooster play that propels us with
an urgent. though delicate, touch, back
to the free spaces of the "never-never
land"
Little Mary Sunshine" Is one OF
those "once upon a time butterflies,
through whose gauzy wing we see life
in rare and delightful tints. Five reels
isn't a scene too long for Little
Mary" who, thank heaven, doesn't
realize the charm of her fat little SET
and never overdoes the "saccharine
stun" Her utter unconsciousness OF
herself Is a revelation in art. particu-
larly in one so young, and points
encouraglngly to a brilliant stage
career. Director Henry King. who also
plays the male lead in the picture,
deserves more than passing notice
for his mastery handling OF the child,
and his delicate, knowing touch on
play that was woven OF Fancy's
woof. He is an actor of Intelligence
and subtlety. and a personality that
Is impressive. His handling OF the
little things" the tremendous
trlfes" in the direction OF this fea-
ture. shows him an artist Of depth and
certainty.
Baby Osborne can honestly and
truly lay claim TO be the youngest lead
ing woman in the land, for she has
Just turned three years OF age. Far
from being camera shy" she gurgles
and laughs as though she were having
the time OF her life and goes through
her scenes as though to the manner
born. Almost invariably the child play
er OF the stage is oppressed with feel
ing OF self-importance. Little Marie
Is not-she is Just a wholesome.
mighty clever, unspoiled baby. OF
whom any mother would be proud.
Her debut in pictures makes us hope
We will see other In which she is fea-
luyed.
