SHORTAGE OF COAL
LOOKED FOR THIS YEAR

Watertown people will again be con-
fronted with a serious shortage of
coal as predicted by local coal dealers
The only coal available is soft coal
and this in very limited quantities.
William GOrder, ST., one of the local
coal dealers, predicts even a worse
shortage this fall than last year. Re-
ports are coming in daily from the
lated States Fuel Administration in
forming the dealers Of the mines that
are able to supply limited quantities
of soft coal for the coming fall con-
sumption. Mine workers are assisting
in the war to their utmost Men far
too old to work have applied for jobs
in many of the eastern mines
Sealer Edward Gnatzig in his last
report before the city council made a
very urgent appeal before the alder
men to assist in alternating the coal
situation in this city this year by in
forming the people to clean their fur
naces and have them employ other
means in conserving coal.

INQUEST IS HELD.
COrOner's Jury Blame Obstructed Or
Defective Switch.

The inquest to inquire into the man
ner of the death of Mrs. Amalia
Krause, who was killed by an inter-
urban car Sunday evening at the cor
ner of Main and Second streets, was
held on Tuesday before Justice
Schmutzler. The main question hinged
on the manner of the car leaving the
main line for the south at the split
switch. The testimony was presented
to the effect that the rubber blocks
which holds the split" in place were
not removed and the switch in good
condition and set for the main line af-
ter the accident
No one ventured an opinion as to
how it happened except the section
foreman, Werner, who stated it might
possibly have been caused by excess
sive speed or a bolt or other obstruc-
ton dropping on the switch between
the forward and rear trucks.
The jury rendered a verdict that the
woman came to her death owing to the
rear trucks of the car leaving the main
track through an INSTRUCTED or defec-
tive switch.

SUBJECT TWO LAWS"
DISCUSSED AT TABERNACLE

Evangelist G. P. Gaede spoke Tues
day evening at the Cotton Tabernacle
corner Seventh and Dodge streets, on
1.-THE Two Laws" He said in part:
The laws of the Jews are commonly
divided into moral, ceremonial and
judicial. The moral laws are such as
grow out of the nature of things,
such as the duty of loving God and his
creatures. These cannot be abolished
as it can never be made right to hate
God, or to hate our fellow men. Of
this kind are the ten commandments;
and these our Savior has neither abOl-
ished or superseded. The ceremonial
laws are such as are appointed to
meet certain states of society or to
regulate the religious rites and cere-
monies of a people These may be
changed when circumstances are
changed, and yet the moral law be un-
touched. A general may command his
soldiers to appear in blue, and some
time in grey. This would be cere-
mOnial law, and might be changed as
he pleased; the duty of obeying him,
and of being faithful to his country,
could not be changed.
This is a moral law: A parent might
suffer his children to have fifty diff
ferent dresses at different times, and
love them equally in all. The dress is a
mere matter of ceremony and may be
changed. The child, in all these gar
ments, is bound to love and obey his
father. This is a moral law and can
not be changed. So the laws of the
Jews, those to regulate, were mere
matters of ceremony and rites of wor-
ship, and might be changed Those re-
curing love and obedience to God and
love to men, could not be changed, and
Christ did not attempt it.
A third species of law was the judi
cial, or those regulating courts of JUS
tice. These were of the nature of the
ceremonial law, and might also be
changed at pleasure.
The judicial law regulated the
courts of the Jews; it was adapted to
their own civil society When the form
of the Jewish polity was changed this
was Of course no longer binding.
The ceremonial law was fulfilled by
the coming of Christ; the shadow was
lost in the substance, and ceased to be
binding. The moral law was confirmed
and unchanged.

member, boys and girls, that the men,
bers of the club from Jefferson, Fort
Atkinson, Lake Mills, Johnson Creek,

hard as they have and are just as pa
triotic, so let's show the Watertown
people that the Boys and Girls clubs
are worth while and that we also can
do our bit, which should also be our
best to help win the war. We are the
land fighters of Uncle Sam and we

LIGHTNING STRIKES WOMAN
BUT SHE WILL RECOVER

During the thunderstorm of Tues
day evening lightning struck the farm
home of August Bornfieth, who re-
sides in Emmett one mile and half
north of Watertown. The bolt demol-
ished two chimneys and travelled over
a stovepipe to sink where Mrs. Born
f1ieth was washing dishes, and passed
out through screen door, taking part
of it with it. -
In it's passage the bolt struck Mrs.
Bornflieth, knocking her down and
setting her clothing on fire By some
chance the dishpan nearly full of wa
ter was overturned, falling on the
woman, the water serving to drench
her dress and not allowing the blaze
to envelOp her However, she was bad
ly burned about the hips and legs and
the electric fluid left black and blue
mark on her arm. Her husband was
lying on cot nearby-but was not in
jured. The woman is So years old and
will probably recover. Had she worn a
corset at the time 1t is believed death
would have resulted, as the current
would be attracted by the steel stays.

MURDERS Wife AND
Then TRIES SUICIDE
At FORT ATKINSON
Jay COuillard Returns From Service
and Brutally Murders Young Wife
From Whom He Was
Separated.

Jay Couillard, % years old, brutally
murdered his young wife, aged %
years, at Fort Atkinson Wednesday
evening. They had been separated and
Couillard drifted into that town few
days ago and inquired the whereabouts
of his wife. He discovered that she was
working in factory and stopping with
her married sister.
Armed with a knife, he went to the
house and spoke to his wife, the two
going into the house while the brother
in-law and wife remained on the porch
thinking that they might patch up their
differences. Once within the house
Coulliard struck his wife, knocking
her unconscious. He then cut her
throat and stabbed her in three differ
ent places in the breast, and then at
tempted his own life by stabbing him
self. In this he was unsuccessful and
after his arrest was removed to ST.
Mary's hospital in WATERFOWL, where
he is under guard and receiving med
ical attention.
Couillard, who had not been living
with his wife for over a year, left Fort
Atkinson some time ago to enter the
government service as a forester. He
had been on duty near San Francisco,
Cal, until short time ago when he
was discharged, it is said because he
was mentally unfit. He returned to
Fort Atkinson a few days previous to
the crime. Mrs. Couillard rejoined him,
but left him last Saturday when he is
said to have threatened her life in fit
of jealousy.
After the deed he expressed no re-
pentance, his only regret being that
he was unable to kill himself, and
threatening to do so at the first oppOr-
tunity.
The woman came originally from
Pittsville and the man from OcontO
They were not very well known in
Fort Atkinson. Jealousy is said to be
at the bottom of the tragedy.
