VOLUME XLVIII HERMAN SERVICE TO WATERTOWN ELECTRIC LINE TO BE IN OPEN AT ION WEDNESDAY Cars to Run Every Hour—Will Leave Milwaukee on the Half Hour—Requires Two and a Half Hours to Make the Journey. In the Milwaukee news of the 21st inst., the lollowing item of interest to the people of Watertown appeared: “Next week, probably on Wednes day, Milwaukee and Watertown will be bound together with electric bands. The Milwaukee electric railway sys tem will be completed to the inland city and will be opened to the public. The information comes from the head quarters of the Milwaukee Eltctric Railway & Light company, over in the public service building. For several months the work of extending the line from Oconomowoc westward to Water town, thirteen miles from Oconomo woc and forty-five miles from Mil waukee, has been nroceeded quietly. The cars will run from Milwaukee to Watertown, leaving thin city on the half hour from 6 o’clock in the morning until 11 o'clock at night, two and a half hours being necessary to make the trip. This schedule will be maintained until September, when the travel to the inland lakes and summer resorts en route begins to slacken up, when a change in the schedule will be made and the head way will be materially reduced to meet the diminished demand on the resources of the road.” Teacher's Institute The Summer Institute for 1908 for Dodge county, Wis., will be held at Horicon, Wis., for two weeks, be ginning on Monday, July 7 inst.

A Quaint Stone The cut below represents a stone brought to the city (then village) of Watertown some fifty years ago, more or less, and presented to Dr. Ed ward Johnson. It is supposed to be of meteorite origin a there is no rock of its kind in this country. / \ / A'*. ' \ . -- \ i J: ' t ■ f I IC. M. Stapleton, who has taken much interest in the stone is in receipt of a letter Irom H. G. Thwaites, secretary and superintendent of the State Historical Society, which will be of interest to many. He says: We have by this mail written to Dr. Johnson and informed him that we should be much pleased to receive the stone, and would immediately sub mit it to geological experts to ascer tain whether or not it is an actual meteorite —a fact that can only, of course, be determined by chemical analysis. A considerable number of stones thought by the public to be meteorites prove, on scientific exami nation, to be “bog ore” or terrestrial minerals of that character. Should this stone prove to be actually a meteorite, it would prove a very in teresting addition to the State Museum. What “Pusky” Does A farmer living not many miles from the city comes to the city semi occasiona iy, and while in town usual ly fills his hide with “pusky” and has had sundry and divers adventures. At one time he attempted to drive his team over the Milwaukee bridge cros sing the Kock river. At another time, he ran into a passenger or freight train and came very near being killed. One day last week he was in the city again well filled with “pus ky,” but fortunately his wife was with him. When ready to start for home, ho thought to lessen the dis tance bv driving his team across one of the excavations made for the inter urban track. Just as the team were about to make the leap, his wife grabbed the lines and stopped them and so quickly that the “pusky” ladened farmer went backward out of his seat into the wagon box. if he is not mure careful, one of these days he will go home in a box and then his good nature will be lost to his friends. Work on the Bridge The work of strengthening tne Main street bridge, being done by the Mil waukee Heat and Traction company, is being pushed as fast as the mag nitude of the work will permit. The improvements consist of substituting six pans of girders sixty feet in length and weighing eighteen tons each in place of the original girders, the ends resting in concrete work at the approaches and on the piers. It is a stupenduous undertaking and thus far has proceeded without any miehap and when the job is finished there will be no doubt as to its atiength. Candidate for Lieut. Governor James F. Trcttman of Milwaukee, has made formal announcement of his candidacy for the republican nomina tion for lieutenant governor. From what the writer has been able to learn lelative to Mr. Trottman, there is no doubt of his fitness for the office and j nothing to prevent him from making a successful “Trutt” and land his ! man into the position. More Light at State Fair One ot the most important and attractive improvements at the state fair grounds this season will be the largely increased lighting facilities for evening entertainments.

The home-coming program is about j completed and many inquiries are ! coming in, regarding he arrange -1 ments, and Watertown is prepared for the largest crowd it has had in I years. If you have a friend or relative who at any time was a resident of the city, write them to come ‘>r hand the name to thjse n charge of the ar rangements, and tell them that .Water town will extend the glad hand and welcoming smile to the prodigal sons and daughters, who have wandered afar, and bid them visit the scenes of their childhood, to gather again around the familiar scenes, to take a reminiscence dip in the swimming hole. Someone has said that what Watertown really needed, was a : gathering of this kind for the educa tion of itse'f, and the instruction of its visitors, but however that may be, J the city will take a couple of davs ott from its regular pursuits, and pause fur a moment, perhaps to think what it is and what it ought to be. How may she develop the opportunities in which she excels other places, and how to overcome tne deficiencies that she may never have realized before. A day or two devoted to sentiment, week devoted to looking upon herself the eyes of a stranger, with the sordid routine given up for a time, may beget in a city anew breadth of vision and the development of public loyalty. Watertown Well Represented Miss Minnie Guetzlaff was the guest of Fort Atkinson relatives over Sunday. Messrs. Henry Millar, Irving Mc- Hugh, Theodore Koerner, Wenzel Kunert,, Frank Kopp, and Misses Jennie Oliver, Carrie Thauer, Amanda Thauer, Mattie Houghton, and Kittie Thauer of Watertown enjoyed an out ing at Rock lake Sunday, The Misses Margaret Hertel, Flora Hertel, Catherine Owen, Olive Jones, Margaret Owen, Irene Jones, Esther Raue and Irma Krueger are enjoying a few days outing here.

Mias Marie Breunig of Watertown is spending her vacation here. Several bus loads of adults and children from Watertown spent Tues day picnicking in the Phillips grove on the lake shore south of the city.— Lake Mills Leader. How to Be Happy The secret of happiness—make others happy. r It is simple, is it not, easy of per formance, accessible to all. How are you to make others happv ? By living for them, by doing what their sane wishes demand, by sub merging self. It is a game you can play, a robe you can don at pi assure, a pose you can strike and keep. It is a life you must live, to do it must be your pleasure not your purpose and you do it not because you want to but because you must. When you give, you must give for the other not for yourself, and when you take, you mast take for the other and not for yourselt, and when you do, you must do for the other and not for yourself. The gift that admits of a return possesses no virtue. Hapiness is self-content It cannot be bought, it must be earned. Work ing tor it is buying it: earning it, is doing your duty without thought of the result. To strive for happiness is vain, to seek it is folly, to force it is madness. Like the leaves on the trees in the spring time it ccuies when conditions are ripe. Is the faculty inherent or culti vated? Thoughtlessness and a desire to shun responsibility will answer that it is born in and with us. Thought fulness and a wil'ingnesa to carry your own burden will urge belief in the doctrine, that it is a matter of education. Happiness frequently comes from adversity, often from sorrow and pain, rarely or ever from prosperity. The Leader is in receipt of a postal carl announcing that D. Ward King will be in this section about Sep tember 1, and can be secured tor an address on “Good Roads Right Now.” Those interested in good roads can drop a card to W. B. Wylie, Maitland, Mo., asking fur such an address. Smoke “Sea Rose.” 5c Smoke “Latest Out,” 5c cigar. IRISH HLRE BEFORL INDIANS I Prof Monaghan Amuses Fellow ship Club With Twist to History Who discovered America? Chris topher Columbus? No, the Irish dis covered America. King Alfonso will declare war on Ireland when he learns that the famed Spaniard must at last be robbed of his glory and historians will turn over in their graves when they hear cf their mistake. Where did the American Indian originate? The mystery is at last I solved. He came from Ireland. Professor J. E. Monaghan of Notre Dame University amused the Irish Fellowship club yesterday with these revelations. He said that “Pat” discovered Iceland, Greenland and America and proved that the Irish were here first by the Indian tribe names. The [Onandagas toox their name from the Irish U’Donagan; the Tennessees from ilennessy; the Shaw ees from Shaughnessy, the Michigans from the Mick Egans; the Oregons from the O’Regans; the Umahas from the (J’Mahers; the from the O’Scullys. “The early Irish were riding through the woods one day in Wisconsin,’’ said the professor, “when they missed O’Connor, ‘Where is O’Connor?' asked one. Oh. let O’Connor walls said another, and thereupon the Wisconsin Indians were named Oconomowucs. ’' Jefierson County Institute Fort Atkinon, Wia., August 3 to 15. 1908—Our Summer Institute will open August 3 at 1:30 p. m. and con tinue for two weeks.
