DOINCS FRIDAY ADJOURNED M.ETIN6 BOARD OF EDUCATION CONSIDERABLE IMPORTANT BUSINESS TRANSACTED Miss Winnifaed Culver of Albion. Mich.. Engaged as Nanual Train ing Teacher—A Public Reception Will Be Given the School Teach ers in the Near Future An adjourned meeting of the board of education was held last evening and considerable business of a rout ine nature w r as transacted.

A manual training teacher was en gaged at the meeting, the choice fall ing on Miss Winifred Culver of Al bion, Mich. The salary is fixed at $75 per month. Owing to the crowded condition of the high school, the eighth grade was transfered to a vacant room in the No. 4 school. This arrangement will help out in the difficulty experienced securing needed room for the extra demands being made on the high school. It is also within the probab ilities that the board will ask for an appropriation to enlarge the No. 2 school to give much needed room. The mailer of prohibiting tuition students from attending the high school was discussed at the meeting as the school is crowded, but no defi nite action was taken. At the close of the meeting a com mittee consisting of F. M. L<t F. Voss and C. H. Jacobi was n ned to arrange for a reception to the pu! he school teachers in the near future.

DOINGS SATURDAY Post Stamp Ruling A new r postal ruling has gone into effect and should be noted by all who are users of the postoffice service. The new order deals with defaced postage stamps or stamps that are mutilated in any way. A stamp that is in any way defaced is now declar ed worthless and will not be accept ed in pay for the transmission of a letter. All letters or packages, bear ing such stamps will be held at the post office for two weeks for recovery and if they are not claimed at the end of that period will be sent to the dead letter office at the head of the dis trict in which they are mailed and from there sent to the general dead letter office in Washington. It has been the custom in the post offices for the clerks in cancelling the stamps to pass those which had a small part missing. This has come under the notice of the head of the postoffice department and an order has therefore been issued for the re jection of these letters. If a letter bearing a defaced stamp should get past the cancelling clerk the one who throws the mail is held responsible and if the letters are sent out a charge will be made back against the office from which they are sent. One of the chief reasons for the new ruling in regard to the postage tamps is that the government has :T ’.covered where stamps are cancel [ on the extreme edge, they have been removed from a letter. The can celled part has been torn off and the stamp used again. It is to protect themselves against such schemes as this tha the new order has been is sued. a stamp is torn and a part is mis e g. they ahould be taken back to the "'-vtoffi.-e and turned in, in the same m. -.nrr as unused stamped en velopes.

DOINGS MONDAY ORGANIZEDLABOR ANNUAL PARADE LOCAL LABOR UNIONS ENJOY A DAY OF PLEASURE Two Bends Were in the Procession and Discoursed Inspiring Music —Many Watched ihe Parade Which Disbanded Alter Making a Circuit of the City. Today Watertown workers enjoyed their day of rest and celebration, it being the annual recurrence of Labor day. The picnic which was usually held was dropped this year and many of the union men left the city to spend the day elsewhere, so that the line of marchers was not as long as on previous years. In former years it was demanded of every man be longing to a union to turn out on this day. This year no formal demand was made. The Watertown band and the Independent band furnished the inspiration for the marchers who moved in the following order: Committee Colorbearer Band Barbers Painters Carpenters Bricklayers and Masons Band Sheet Metal Workers Plumbers Tailors Printers Brewers Cigarmakers After the parade disbanded the marchers enjoyed the balance of the day in varied pursuits and this even ing will assemble together again at Turner Opera house where a Labor day dance will be held to which the public is invited. Most all the busi ness houses closed at noon and busi ness in the city generally wns sus pended. This year’s Labor day marks the twenty-first celebration in the coun try. The first Labor day was cele brated in 1887. A marvelous growth has characterized the labor movement since the first demonstration. The American Federation of Labor was born within that period. Today it has 3,000,000 laborers within its ranks. The Labor day celebration has thus become more an outing of organized labor than of labor generally.

WATERTOWN ELKS There Was a Fair Attendance at thu Game and the Rooters Were In Evidence From the Initial of the Game to the End—The Home Nine Were the Victors. For two hours and five minutes the antlered tribe of Elks from Fond du Lac and the denizens of the local for est engaged in fierce combat at Wash ington Park yesterday afternoon and it was not until the first half of the ninth was fought that victory perched on the horns of the local Elks to the tune of 9 to 8. Four hundred rooters and a full equipment of coachers kept the players busy watching their op portunities which in some of the stages were many but badly grasped at times. The head of the herd for the enemy did not fire his ammunition as correctly as did the chief of the local herd, who, while showing the ef fects of the combat at times, put many an antlered head to rest before his struggle fairly started They were all game, however, and kept at the work, urged on by the crowd of non combatants. Fond du Lac started the fracas by securing four runs in the first. One batter after he got fairly started reached home plate in safety owing to poor throwing and another man scored on a safe hit after he had stolen third. They made two scores in the fourth, the first man up hitting safely, the next man doing the same and the next man up hit the ball hard enough to score two more runs and in the fifth one score was made. That is all the runs the visitors got until the ninth when they seemed to find Broen nimann and every man up hit the sphere out into the field. The first man walked, and the next man hit, putting the runner on third; the next batter fanned, but the next one up hit it hard enough to score two runs and the next batter hit safely, scoring another, thus making the score 8 and a lively put out at home plate saved a tie game. Watertawn failed to score until the third inning when they rolled up four. Bickner made a safe hit and stole third; Uehling followed with another and Broennimann died on a fly; Mc- Adams hit safely, scoring Bickner; Lietz followed with a hit and Uehling died at home plate. Bahr laced out a three bagger, scoring McAdams and Lietz; Brandt hit safely and scored Bahr; Wertheimer made a safe hit but Weber died at first sack. In the fourth Bickner batted a fly which w r as gobbled; Uehling and Broennimann hit but the former died at second on a forced run; McAdams reached the first sack on a passed ball and Broen nimann scored; Lietz died at first. In the fifth Bahr and Brandt hit for one base but the former was put out at third; Wertheimer followed with a single and Brandt died at second; Wertheimer scored on a wild throw and Weber died at first sack. In the seventh Watertown made three runs. Bahr started out with a three bagger, Brandt died at first, but Bahr scored on his play; Wertheimer hit safely and Weber fanned; Bickner laced out a two bagger scoring Wertheimer and Uehling scored Bickner. The Bittners defeated Oconomowoc at the latter place yesterday by the score of 11 to 6. Next Sunday at Washington Park the Bittners will cross bats with Waterloo. The Bitt ners were defeated at Waterloo sev eral weeks ago by the score of 7 to 3. The locals will try hard to turn the tables next Sunday,so a close and ex citing game can be looked for.
