VOLUME XXXXX
In Memoriam
Sunday morning, the spirit of Mrs.
Mary Snore departed from the mortal in
which it had tabernacled for eiarhty-one
years and only the mortal was left to he
laid away by loving hearts, who had
loved her in life. The departed had been
an invalid for the past two years and
confined most of the time to her home,
412 Civilian street, and two weeks ago
she had the misfortune to fall at her
home and fracture one of her hips, and
at her advanced age and enfeebled con
dition she fell asleep, although every
thing that love could suggest was done
to prevent her departure. Mrs. Snore
was a na'ive of the Isle of Man, where
she was horn June 30,1829. She came
to ti.is country as a child with her par
ent*, and had been a resident of Water
town for over fifty years and until re
cent years, hail been active and with her
cheery smile and kindly ways made
friends of all with whom she came in
contact. Surviving her are three chil
dren: Mrs. Jerome Holmes, Milwaukee;
Charles Snore, Sheldon, Iowa; George
Snore, Kalispell, Montana.
The funeral servizos wore held at her
lute home Tuesday afternoon at 2:30
o’clock, the Rev. M. L. Kversz, pastor of
the First M. E. church, officiating, and
the remains interred in Oak Hill ceme
tery.
There were many of the friends pres
ent and many floral offerings were
brought and sent testifying of the love
and esteem in which the departed was
held for her goodness, kindness and ster
ling ijnalities of head and heart. There
were quite a number from outside of the
city present at the obsequies.
Wants to Know
Ixonia, Wis,, Feb. 1,1910.
Editor Leader:—Some time since, a
correspondent of your paper wrote about
singing and playing music to cows at
milking time. Is it a joke or is it true?
I have a little hoy who plays nice on the
mouth organ and if it will help along he
can play while we milk. A'so, please
toll me if the comet we see is Halley’s?
Respectfully yours,
J. E. M.
1. It is reported that cows are very
susceptahle to music and possibly when
listening to the strains of soothing,
quieting music are more easily milked
and give down more freely. Try it, and
report result.
2. It is not the Halley comet, which
will not appear until May; but the Jo
hunsburg visitant.
A Popular Outdoor Monthly
The February Sports Afield—from its
beautiful front cover to its last adver
tising page—is an exceptionally attrac
tive issue. G. E. Whitmore describes
how a mountain trapper waged an un
ceasing war against a family of pan
thers, and how, in the end, the last of
the animals almost caused his death.
Many hunting and fishing trips in New
Mexico, Texas, Illinois, lowa Wisconsin,
Indiana, Montana, Idaho. Wyoming,
Washington, Vermont, Arkansas, Mis
souri and Michigan are truthfully de
scribed. Of more than usual interest
are: The Men of ’49, Pete’s Red Letter

M. E. Church tnlertainment
The entertainment given at the First
M. E. church last evening by Miss Nina
Hall of the Appleton School of Elocu
tion, was one of real merit and Miss
Hall proved herself to be a gifted elocu
tionist who has a grand future before
her. She is dignified, graceful and
pleasing in matter, and her story. “The
Dawn of Tomorrow,” was replete with
pathos and truths which will make a
lasting impression on those who heard
her recital. Rev. M. L. Eversz is en
titled to thanks for securing such an en
tertainment for the people of this city.
Big Bargains Offered.
Have you been to the store of S.
Weiner, 406 Main sireet? It you have
not, you have missed the opportunity of
a life time, for he is slaughtering goods

clothes for only SIO.OO and everything
else at about the same ratio of discount.
If you have not visited his store, do so as
soon as possible and take advantage of

Would Be Mayor
It is rumored, that E. W. Schultz
might be persuaded to accept the mayor
alty of the city the approaching spring.
What's the matter with E. W,? He is
all right, and would make a mighty good
mayor and give all a square deal. If he
gets iuto the running, he will make all
sit up and take notice that something is
doing and the trail hot.

WATERTOWN LEADER.
Our Washington Letter
(BY OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT)
Washington, D. C., January 31, 1910.
President Taft has mapped out a pro
gramme for Congress that, is well calcu
lated to keep our Solons busy the rest of
the session.
President Taft proposed to amend the
laws for regulating corporations and for
anew law to establish postal savings
hanks for the benefit of the people, which
he promised in his campaign, and also a
law to authorize the establishment of
post parcel deliveries which will enable
the postoffice to underbid tlie exorbitant
charges made by the various express
companies. The- way the Congressmen
and Senators are hearing from their con
stituents on these reforms indicates
that tne public is alive to the necessity
for such measures and that these laws
will be passed, as recommended by Presi
dent Taft, in his recent messages,
INCOME TAX.
Congress has amended the Constitution
of the United States, so as to provide for
an income tax, and it is now up to the
states to ratify that amendment, which
becomes a part of the Constitution as
soon as it shall have been ratified by
three-fourths of the states. The corpor
ations and capitalists of the country are
doing their utmost to influence the legis
latures of the various states against this
amendm nt.
However, it is believed that the amend
ment will he ratified by practically all
of the states.
One of the most vociferous charges
that Mr. Bryan used to make against the
Republican paity during his campaign
was that it did not treat the big thrives
and the little thieves alike.
DIG THIEVES IN PRISON.
This charge finds complete refutation
in ihe fact that the Federal authorities
have placed millionaire banker, John R.
Walsh, of Chicago, in prison for five
years for violating the Federal Banking
laws. John h. Walsh is the wealthiest
man that this goverment has ever placed
behind prison bars. Recently Mr. Morse,
another wealthy New York banker, was
sentenced to serve and is now serving a
15-year term in the federal prison at
Atlanta, Ga.
President Taft, in his prosecution of
these big malefactors of great wealth, is
demonstrating that the law is being ad
ministered alike to the rich and the poor.
This will furthermore be a great object
lesson to those who are engaged in dark
and shady enterprises.
POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
The opposition to the president’s plan
for the establishment of Postal Savings
Banks is rapidly diminishing.
It is well known that the great banks
of this country are opposed to the gov
ernment going into the banking busi
ness.
It is well known that the great bank
ing concerns of this country have in the
past received favors at the hands of the
government and now President Taft pro
poses to make a banking move in the in
terest of the masses of the people which
will be the effect of the establishment of
Postal Savings Banks, that will enable
the depositors, especially the working
man and the farmer to secure 2 per cent
interest on his money, and then to have
the assurance that his money is as safe
as the government itself.

A Family Suffering
There is a family in the Seventh ward
who need help and need it at once. The
father was injured last summer and be
ing partially paralized is unable to
work. From information received at
the Leader office the family is living on
potatoes and raw carrots. They need
food, fuel and clothes. The superinten
dent of the poor pays the rent of the
house in which they live and gives them
SI per month. The kind hearted and
charitable people of this city will cer
tainly come to their relief, when they
learn of their sad plight and need of as
sistance. The name of the family and
their street number can .be ascertained
by calling or telephoning to the Leader
office.
Fifteenth Annual Sale.
This morning, the Charles Fischer &
Son Company began their Fifteenth An
nual Sale which will continue for one
week. This company handles only the
very best in their lines and their prices
are way below their competitors for the
same grade and quality of goods, and
then they are thoroughly reliable and do
business so as to merit confidence and
patronage. The sale will give aU who
may be iu want high class goods at
moderate prices an opportunity toubtain
the same and the editor of the Leader
can without any mental reserve say
Fischer & Son Cos. as a place where you
cau always depend upon a "square deal.”
Will GetlDurnament in Imij
At the Skat tourney in Milwaukee, the
representatives present from this city
did very graceful in withdrawing its
claim for the 1910 tourney in favor of
Green Bay. the seconding speech for that
city being made by R. W. Lueck.it being
generally understood that the 1911
tourney should be held in Watertown, at
which time, it is expected that our Skat
players will pick out a few of the prizes.

Council Proceedings
In the absence of Mayor Arthur
Mulberger and President of the Coun
cil John Kehr, the regular meeting of
the city council was called to order
by Chief of Police H. C. Block, and
Alderman John T. Ryan was elected
to preside at the meeting. One of the
principal matters was the fixing of the
salaries of the officials and the
amount together with the amount of
last year will be found printed below.
A lively scrimmage occurred when
the report of the judiciary committee
on the improvement of the “Coffee”
road was read. Alderman Hartwig
objected to the report and asked that
it be referred to the committee on
streets and bridges, where it right
fully belonged. He said the judeiiary
committee should attend to its own
business as they knew nothing of
street building.
Alderman Lutovsky said the judi
ciary committee acted in line with the
recommendation of the mayor in his
message and that the council saw tit
to place the matter n their hands,
and they did as directed, nothing more.
Alderman Werner said there was
too much haste as a portion of the
old contract on the Coffee road was
not completed.
Alderman Kalina said the two doc
tors were dragging in too much poli
tics.
The motion to refer the matter to
the streets and bridges committee
was lost, the motion receiving only
5 votes. On motion the matter was
laid over until the next meeting.
Following are the amount of salar
ies fixed and the salaries paid last
year:

uetling Even
Carl Timm of this city, a former
renter on the Hartwig farm, was ar
rested Saturday on complaint of A. H.
Hartwig of W atertown. The complaint
was made before Justice of the Peace
John McNalley of Clytnan and al
leges that Timm took 8 hogs, 6 tons
of hay and 10 bushels of corn from
the Hartwig farm which did not be
long to him. This is denied by Timm
who claims that at the auction held
last fall a complete settlement was
made and holds a receipt therefor.
Timm is being defended by O. C.
Hahn, while District Attorney C. A.
Kading represents the state in this
action. An adjournment of the case
was taken until next Saturday, Feb
ruary 5, at Clyman where the case
will be tried.
Recently Timr started a slander
suit against A. H. Hartwig for SSOOO
damages, and last week sued for a
balance which he alleged to be due
him from A. H. Hartwig on the divis
ion of the sugar beet crop. This last
action was seitled, but the damage
suit remains to be tried. The total
value claimed for the articles alleged
to have been taken by Timm from the
Hartwig farm is $162.
Timm is an employe at the Globe
Mill and has a wife and twelve chil
dren.
WATERTOWN. JEFFERSON COUNTY. WIS. Feb. 4. 1910.
Served Tvventy-One tears
Watertown people will recall the
murder committed in the town of
Palmyra in March, 1888, for which
Mrs. Martin Steinhauser was given a
life sentence for the alleged murder
of her husband and the hired man,
Henry Rohrmoser was also sentenced
for life. The woman ha.s been paroled.
The crime for which Mrs. Steinhaus
er was given a life sentence was com
mitted March 5, 1888, in the town of
Palmyra, Jefferson county. The hus
band was found in his home early on
the morning of March 5 badly wound
ed and the wife claimed he had been
shot during the night by burglars. On
the night of March 6 Steinhauser
died, but before his death he became
conscious and charged his wife with
the shooting. Later she and a hired
man, Henry Rohrmoser, were arrest
ed, charged with the crime and upon
trial at Jefferson found guilty of mur
der in the first degree. Life sen
tences were imposed on both Septem
ber 25, 1888. Subsequently Rolir
moser was pardoned by Governor
Pe< k on the ground that the evidence
was not sufficient to connect him with
the crime, and now the woman also is
freed, the membe,rsT of the state
board of control believing that she
has not only been sufficiently punish
ed, but that it is doubtful if, had she
not told the burglary story, but in
stead recited the truth of the encoun
ter with her husband, she would ever
have been convicted at all, it being
claimed that she has on her person
the scars of pitchfork wounds re
ceived during the encounter, which
would have enabled her to substan
tiate a plea of self defense
Mrs. Steinhauser was about 35
years of age when she was sentenced
to the penitentiary and she comes
out of the prison prematurely old, and
with but a few more years in which
to enjoy her freedom. Two children,
a boy and a girl, were practically or
phaned by the deed of their mother.
They are now grown up, and if liv
ing are probably the relatives to
whom the mother is to be entrusted
by the board, although on this point
nothing can be obtained from the
board of control members as they say
they do not care to let the world
know where the aged woman is to be
cared for during her declining years.
They say, however, that a good home
has been secured for her and that
relatives will look after her support.
The murder at the time it was com
mitted attracted a great deal of atten
tion and there have been several ap
plications made at various times for
a pardon for Mrsx Steinhauser on the
ground that the punishment inflicted
on her was too heavy.

No More Loose Coins
The following order received by
Postmaster H. T. Eberle is self-ex
planatory;
In view of the extent to which the
practice of placing- loose coins in
boxes by rural patrons has grown, and
the delay in the delivery and collec
tion of mail and the hardship impos
ed on rural carriers incident thereto,
you are informed that, commencing
Februay 15, proximo, rural letter car
riers will not be required to collect
loose coins from rural mail boxes.
Patrons should enclose coins in an
envelope, wrap them securely in a
piece of paper, or deposit them in a
coin-holding receptacle, so they can
be easily and quickly taken from box
es, and carriers will be required to
lift such coins, and, where accom
panied by mail for dispatch, attach
the requisite stamps.

Must Have Sleigh Bells
An ordinance of the city of Water
town provides a penalty of ten dollars
for any driver of a sleigh which is
not equipped with bells to give warn
ing of its approach. The bells may
be attached to the horse or horses or
to the rig itself. Owners and drivers
should take notice and avoid trouble.
Install Fine Organ
The work of installing the large
pipe organ, costing $2300, at the Con
gregational church is making good
progress. The parts of the instrument
were received in ten huge crates and
it will take about two weeks to build
it up. The pipes alone number about
600, some of which are sixteen feet
long and a foot square. The organ
has been reduced to the smallest pos
sible dimensions but it still occupies
a space and is 17 feet high. An
improved electric blower placed in
the basement supplies the power. This
large instrument will add greatly to
the appearance of the church. The
front pipes of a dull bronze color will
touch the ceiling and ext nd .ayaz
the front for twelve feet. Below 7 the
pipes there is a beautiful panel of
the finest quarter sawed oak. The con
sole or key-desk will not be at
tached to the organ but has been
placed on the auditorium floor next
to the pulpit platform. In this way
room has been provided for at least
26 people in the choir loft.
Gone to Her Keward
Another early day resident of Wa
tertown has answered the summons of
the grim reaper in the person of Mrs.
Dorothy Lauersdorf, who died in Chi
cago. She was the widow of the late
Williams Lauersdorf, who died five
years ago, but who for many years
conducted a blacksmith shop In North
Third street. Mrs. Lauersdorf was a
native of Germany where she was
born December 8, 1830. At the age
of 14, or in 1844, she emigrated to this
country, settling in Watertown the
same year and was a resident here
until about fifteen years ago when the
family removed to California and later
to Chicago. She is survived by three
daughters and one son: Mrs. Mary
Petri of Kohlsville, Wis.; William of
Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs. Hulda Gehr
mann of California, and Miss Magda
lena of Chicago. The body was
brought to Watertown last evening
and taken to the undertaking rooms
of Schmutzler & Krier and the fun
eral will take place from there
Sunday afternoon to St. Mark’s
Lutheran church where services will
be held at 2 o'clock.
