—Last week witnessed perhaps the
largest holdiday trade ever seen in
! this city, and our merchants were con
■ sequently in a satisfied frame of mind.
! The shopping was truly phenomenal
j and is said to have broken all records.
From morning until night the stores
were crowded with liberal buyers,
from far and near, and the holiday
stocks were in consequence quite
generally disposed of. Much of this
large business came as a result of the
very favorable weather and the good
roads, which tended to bring to the
city many people from a considerable
distance. And then, too, we believe the
citizens of Watertown spent most of
their money at home this yea*’, in
stead of in Milwaukee and Chicago.
There was certainly a dropping off of
the trade that has sometimes gone to
the state metropolis.
—The barbers of Watertown

—The Palmyra acetylene gas plant
burned out last Saturday morning and
the village has since been in darkness.
The cause of the fire is not known, but
indications point to incendiarism.
The light has been much opposed by
some residents, though it appears that
for the expense incurred the streets
have been fairly well illuminated.
Fortunately, though there were two
tons of carbide in the place, the con
tainers were tight, and as the fire
company knew enough not to throw
any water in the direction of the fire,
there was no explosion and Palmyra
is still on the map. That quantity of
the stuff properly wet up and ignited
would have made a disturbance in
Jefferson county that would have at
tracted considerable attention all
through the southern part of the state.

Christmas.
Yesterday was tbe Feast of the
Nativity—an occasion celebrated all
over the Christian wor.d. The weather
here was ( f the genuine sort, cold and
enough snow to give the wintry aspect
so often alluded to in the songs of the
poets, but so often only to be imagined
in this latitude. Business generally
was suspended and the day given over
to the home circle and attendance
upon religious services.
In the Catholic, Lutheran and Epis
copal churches the customary cere
monies were held. At St. Paul’s
Episcopal- the feast was ushered in
with the Christmas-eve festival of the
Sunday school at 5 o'clock Monday
afternoon. A large tree laden with
gifts for the children was a feature
and Christmas carols were joyfully
sung. At midnight and at 7 o’clock
A. M. Holy Communion was celebrated,
and at 10 A. m. there was a full
choral service, with sermon by the
rector. The musical program at this
service was elaborate and was well
rendered by the augmented choir.
□ The most interesting service at
St. Bernard’s Catholic church was the
solemn high mass at 5 a. m. The
music, under the direction of Edward
,1. Brandt, was of extraordinary merit.
Haydn’s Mass was sung and the
special numbers included “Holy
Night,” by Dressier, (soprano solo
and chorus); Wiegand’s “Ave Maria,’’
for the offertory, rendered by a
quartette composed of Mrs. E. J.
Brandt, soprano; Miss Lucile Bertram,
contralto; Edward L. Schempf, tenor;
E. J. Brandt, baritone; and the grand
chorus, “Praise ye the Father,”‘by
Gounod. At the 10:80 mass this pro
gram was repeated with the exception
of the offertory, the soprano solo,
“Bethlehem’s Guiding Star,” sung by
Mrs. Brandt, with violin obligato by
Joseph Mullen, being substituted.
Most of the Sunday schools of the
Protestant churches held their
Christmas tree services Monday even
ing, among the number being the
Congregational, English Methodist,
St. Mark’s. Lutheran and the German
Reformed. Tuesday evening the Ger
man Methodist exercises took place,
Hotel Daub Sold.
The Hotel Daub property, consist
ing of the three-story building at No.
10 Main street and the two-story
building on North First street adjoin
ing the Bank of Watertown block, was
sold by Sheriff Jaehnke last Thursday
morning by virtue of a judgment of
foreclosure and sale held by Mrs.
Matilda Nellins. The Main street
building was bid in by the mortgagee
at SB,OOO and the other portion was
sold to William F. Trachtefor $2,425.
Aside from the purchasers, there ap
peared to be no one anxious to seen e
the property and but little interest was
manifested in the sale. The price
which the property brought is con
sidered ridiculously low. It is not
decided at present whether the hotel
will be continued or whether the pro
perty will be used f oc other business
purposes. Negotiations are pending,
it is said, for the lease of the build
ings as a hostelry.
