DOINGS FRIDAY
More Trolley Lines
There are many rumors of electric
road constructiorf in the air these
days and it is said that another com
pany besides the John I. Beggs com
pany is seeking to build from Ocono
mowoc to Beaver Dam via Juneau.
What the company offers in the way
of inducements we do not know, but
we believe It would be to the inter
ests of the people of Juneau and Bea
ver Dam to have the line projected
through Watertown, which would en
able traffic over the proposed short
line from Oconomowoc to Milwaukee
and the present line to Waukesha.
The company Mr. Beggs represents
has the faculty of doing things and
when they build it can be depended
upon to be substantial and of thor
ough construction, a point to be con
sidered in railway construction* It
would give Beaver Dam a short cut to
Milwaukee and at the same time put
it in connection with a whole range
of bustling cities between it and Lake
Michigan, besides connecting it with
the lines which the Beggs interests in
tend building south and west of Wa
tertown and north to Green Bay via
the Fox river valley lines. This is a
matter well worth investigating be
fore giving a franchise to any com
pany.

DOINGS MONDAY
Another Fine Entertainment.
The third entertainment of the ser
ies arranged by the Men’s club will
be held at Turner Opera hbuse on
next Monday evening, December 28. j
For this occasion the celebrated
Schildkret Hungarian orchestra has
been secured, the best organization of
its kind that has been exploited in
this country since the extended tour
of the Archduke Joseph's Hungarian
Gypsy band twmnty-five years ago.
Schildkret’s Hungarian orchestra
was brought over from Hungary dur
ing the World's Fair year and was es
pecially engaged for concert work in
Chicago at that time through Mrs.
Potter Palmer, chairman of the La
dies’ committee at the World’s Fair,
and played at many of the roost im
portant concerts and social affairs
during that memorable year. They
were also especially, engaged for a sea
son at Old Vienna and received the
first grand gold medal for their work.
Since that time they have played all
through the east, returning to Chica
go in time to play for Prince Henry
on his tour through this country some
years ago. While in Washington Mr.
Schildkret played at Washington Park
club, attended by Miss Alice Roose
velt, so it is not surprising that he
was summoned to Washington to play
at her wedding. Mr. Schildkret is
without a peer as a leader, has stu
died the wants of the lyceum people
and knows what to give the public in
the way of concert programs. The
company includes as soloists, a pian
ist, violinist and flutist, Mr. Schild
kret himself being one of the greatest
flute soloists in the world.
The sale of seats began at the
Schempf Drug company store this
morning.
Kidnaped tor Best Man.
The following from the Bellefon
taine, Ohio, Index-Republican refers
to a son of S. E. Kuenzi of this city:
“I know now how it feels to be kid
napped,” said Manager Arnold F.
Kuenzi of “Our New Mnister” com
pany, which showed at the Grand
Tuesday night. W r hen asked to ex
plain the meaning of his words, Mr.
Kuenzi told the following story of a
pretty little romance, such a romance
as seldom ever comes to the notice of
the public. “I was walking down Col
umbus avenue from the opera house
to the depot Tuesday and when I got
in front of the Hotel Bellefontaine
who should come out hut Dave V.
Wall and Margaret F. Tollman, cast
as Thaddeus Strong and his sister
Esther Strong in the play, and Dave
called to me and asked me to wait,
saying that he had something to say
to me. Miss Vollmar came right
along with him and they kept edging
me over to the gutter and before I
knew what was doing a cab had driv
en up and they had pushed me into
it and jumped in themselves. I knew
everything was all right but I could
n't help thinking that my feelings must
be about the same as those of a man
who was being kidnapped.
Now, for my romance of the story.
In about tw r o minutes they had me up
in the probate judge’s office and w'ere
answering the questions, and I found
out that they had kidnapped me to
have me on deck to say ‘Yea’ and
‘Amen’ to their answers. Another
short drive in the carriage brought us
to the office of justice of the peace
and he tied them up. It certainly
was a surprise to us all, for we never
suspicioned that there was anything
between the two.”
Miss Kopp Entei tains Children.
Almost one hundred children were
welcomed to the public library Fri
day evening for a Christmas story
hour. The lecture rooms were spe
cially arranged and decorated with
holly and flow’ers, and a cheery grate
Are contributed to the cheerfulness
of a splendid hour's entertainment.
The boys and girls presented a hap
py and joyful appearance In their holi
day attire, and a more orderly, inter
esting and happy group of children
it would bo difficult to find. Miss
Kopp told the children Van Dyke’s
story of “The other wise man.” Not
everyone has the gift of telling stor
ies, but Miss Kopp has a peculiar fit
ness for this work.. A child knows
when the story teller loves her story
and he loves it with her, and the
breathless interest with which they
heard her tell of “The other wise
man” was the greatest evidence of
their confidence, interest and appre
ciation. A number of little poems
and stories, especially appropriate to
the Christmas season were contri
buted by the boys and girls and it is
interesting to note how w'ell chosen
and expressive of the best sentiments
were their selections. The following
named boys and girls graciously con
tributed to the pleasures of the story
hour: Owain Hughes, John Kelley,
Edwin Bandelin. Arnold McAdams,
George Lewandowski Kathryn Skin
ner, Edith Frey, Alice Krueger, Flor
ence Rabenhorst, Anna Meckes, Leon
ore Tanck, Margaret Abele, Margaret
Brennecke, Irene Meade.
Noted Mon Dying.
The Rev. Philip Von Rohr, pastor of
St. Martin's Lutheran church at Wi
nona, Minn., and president of the Ger
man Lutheran synod of Wisconsin, is
reported to be dying at his residence
in that city this morning. He has
been pastor of the church there for
forty-four years and is one of the
most prominent clergymen in the
northwest. For three years he has
suffered with abdominal cancer and
under the constant care of noted
specialists he has been kept alive.
His condition took a sudden change
for the worst last night. President
Von Rohr is well known in Watertown
having visited here in an official ca
pacity many times.
Buroff Sells Out.
F. A. Tuschen and H. C. Tuschen.
former residents of Sun Prairie, have
purchased the garage business and
real estate where it is conducted, for
merly owned by Edward G. Buroff in
North Third street. The deal was
made Saturday afternoon and posses
sion will be given January 15. The
consideration vs as SBOOO. The garage
is anew building, having been com-
pleted last summer, and in addition
there is a large repair shop. It is Mr.
Buroff's intention to remain with the
firm w,hich will be known as Tuschen
Bros.
The men composing the new firm
have been engaged in the machinery
business for many years and are well
adapted to a successful handling of
the automobile business which will be
the exclusive business at the garage.
As the auto has come to stay there
is no doubt but there is a large field
in this section and Watertown is a
good point from which to radiate the
business, which is becoming greater
year by year.

DOINGS SATURDAY
Some want a Change.
A movement is on foot among busi
ness men of the city to have the lo
cation of the proposed postoffice site
changed to a better location, perhaps
on Main street. Several prominent
business men are behind the move
ment and perhaps something definite
will be done in this connection in a
few days. The matter has been
brought to the attention of Congress
man John M. Nelson and it is probable
that a committee of prominent citi
zens and business men will go to
Washington and submit their plans to
the treasury department. It is said
that a portion of the appropriation for
a public building, $65,000, can be util
ized for the purpose of buying a site
that would be more appropriate for
the city and one that would be in ev
ery way better for the needs of Water
town. The appropriation of SBOOO fo.’
a site was altogether too small in
comparison with the appropriation for
the building, and many business men
feel that an injustice would be done
in constructing a building that would
cost $65,000 on an SBOOO site, which is
evident by the action of the men be
hind the movement.
In Justice Court.
The case of John W. Burns vs Ed
ward Stack and Mary Stack which
was started some time in August of
this year and adjourned several times
was disposed of yesterday in Justice
W. D. Stacy’s court by a jury.
Previous to the trial the plaintiff
withdrew the action as to Mary Stack
and prosecuted against Edward Stack
alone. The case grew out of a claim
for coal furnished by Mr. Burns to
Edward Stack when Stack was in the
candy business at 117 West Main
street, in the sum of $66.60. The - de
fendant, Edward Stack, claimed that
while in the candy business he had a
sample of Mr. Burns’ coal in front of
his place of business and took orders
for Mr. Burns upon an agreement that
Burns was to furnish him coal for said
services and for the use of his candy
store as an office, etc. Mr. Burns de
nied having had any such agreement
with Mr. Stack.
The jury, consisting of Simon Mol
zahn, Edward Seifert, Edward Specht,
Garret Gahlman, John Block and Ed
ward Schempf, brought in a verdict
for Mr. Burns for he amount claimed
by him. $66.68, after being out a few
minutes. Kading & Kading, *he at
torneys for Mr. Burns, moved for a
judgment on the verdict, which was
granted, including costs. John G. Con
way was the attorney for Mr. Stack.

University Extension Offers Substi
tutes for the Old Apprentice
ship System.
Until a generation ago the young
men who were trying to learn trades
were apprenticed to men who had be
come successful in the calling, and
were given definite instructions by
these men in return for their work.
During the last few years the system
of apprenticeship has been abandoned
and the results have been disastrous
in many ways. Young men have often
gone into shops and commenced work
at machines and have remained at
these machines until they became
merely automatons, and were beyond
the age when they could learn new
lines of work easily. There has been
a constant complaint on the part of
manufacturers that they could obtain
I plenty of unskilled, cheap labor, but
I found it difficult to obtain as much
i skilled labor as they needed.
When it has been necessary in many
great shops to secure foremen, the em
i ployers have had to go to other shops,
j or to technical schools for help. This
j has made the workmen dissatisfied,
| and in many cases they have felt that
their employers were not interested in
their welfare, when in reality the em
ployers would have been glad to pro
mote men from the ranks of their
employes if they could have afforded
j to do so.
Practical Instruction Given.
Under the system established and
maintained by the University of Wis
consin through its Extension Division
these men are regularly taught by in
structors who not only have the tech
nical knowledge, but who have also
had practical experience in shop work
and know the conditions, and who have
developed ability as teachers. When
one of these instructors goes to visit
a class in a large shop he spends a
half day in the plant. He goes from
one student to another and watches
his work and gives him suggestions
which will make him a better work
man. When he finds that a young man
has learned all be can at one machine
or at one line of w r ork he goes to the
office and suggests to tire employer
that two men who have each acquired
all they can at the machines or work
•which they are doing shall exchange
work. When he finds a young man
who gives evidence of some of the
(qualities of leadership he suggests tc
the employer tuat they give him a
somewirat more responsible position.
He also aids the young men by loan
ing them books and journals for col
lateral reading, and does all in his
power to stimulate ambiion, and to
show them that by wider education
they can secure better opportunities.
This personal contact of a strong man
Avith the students as individuals, and
in their classes, aided by the stimulus
given by their class room Avork in
spires an altogether different attitude
toward their studies from that shown
by the isolated student of the ordinary
correspondence schools. The best evi
dence of tlie value of this Avork is
given by the enthusiasm of the stu
dents and employers.
Valuable Bulletins Published.
Among the methods used by the Uni
versity Extension Division of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin to disseminate
valuable information among the people
in all parts of the state, is the publi
cation of bulletins, monographs, and
circulars upon subjects of great prac
tical value which have been investi
gated by the members of the faculty,
or by the various departments of the
general government, or the state gov
ernment, or even by foreign govern
ments. The information gathered
from all or any of these sources by
the University of Wisconsin is care
fully summarized in compact and
popular form and published in a bul’.e
tin for free distribution among the peo
pie to Avhom it will be helpful.
Comparatively feAv of these bulletins
have yet been published, but a large
number are in process of preparation.
Something of the range of knowledge
wffiieb these bulletins will cover is
shown in the titles of those already
issued: Debating Societies —Organiza-
tion. Procedure; Prevention and Cure
of Tuberculosis; Frosts in Wisconsin—
Occurrence, Prediction, Methods of
Protecting Crops; Method of Resusci
tating People Partially Drowned, or
Suffering from Electric Shocks; Meth
ods of Protecting Trees Against I dis
eases; The Fifeless Cooker.
This method of disseminating infor
mation is used in connection wfitb the
lectures on practical subjects which
are given by University professors in
various parts of the state. For in
stance when a lecture is given upon
tuberculosis, and the means of prevent
ing and curing it, a very practical
brief circular is put into the hands of
each one who attends, which states
briefly the rules and methods which
should be followed by a person who is
healthy or wishes to guard against in
fection, the rules of conduct for one
who already has the disease, and for
members of families and communities
in which tuberculosis patients are re
siding.

of age, has been aw'arded first place,
because he effected the greatest trans
formation. His grounds at 602 Lafay
ette street were in a crude state—
some parts even ugly—and out of
them he evolved an attractive sur
rounding, suggestive of beauty.
Gerhardt Trachte, 813 Third street,
is awarded second place because his
work was specially good in design. It
could almost rank with that of a pro
fessional landscape gardener in this
particular.
Arthur Krebs, fourteen years of
age, improved upon and rounded out
his work of last year so that this
year his grounds at 217 Seventh
street could be called beautiful. To
him is awarded third place.
Adolph Stiemke is entitled to
Fourth place because of the unity and
harmony in his work. His work is a
good example of what the society in
tended to accomplish by offering a
prize, viz: to make and keep beauti
ful a spot w r hose utility is a necessity.
Herman Kohlbry, 511 North Church
street, also had much to overcome in
the way of necessary hindrances, but
show'ed considerable ingenuity in ov
ercoming them and presented an at
tractive back yard, as well as an im
proved lawn and boulevard. To him
is given fifth place.
At Ellsworth Miller’s, 302 Ninth
street, we found a model back yard in
regard to neatness; the result of per
sistent and careful attention. To him
is given sixth place.
The committee also wish to make
honorable mention of John Keck, 300
Second street; Freddie Wolf, 512
North Montgomery street; Arthur
Buege, 706 Market street; Fred Hol
lenbeck, 408 Washington street, and
Harold Cruger, 415 Washington street,
all of w'hom worked well and did their
part toward beautifying our city.
Respectfully submitted,
Idaline Stone,
Ella Wilder,
William J. Stuebe.

A Word to Our Friends
Many of our subscribers are
nearly a year in arrears on their
subscriptions and quite a number
over a year. On jan. i, 1908, the
postal law requires, that the Leader
shall not be sent to any subscriber
who at that time is on? year or
more in arrears. The law must be
obeyed and names dropped from
list unless all arrears are paid prior
to that date. Send in your sub
scription money and help us to
avoid the unpleasant duty of cut
ting you off our list.
Yours truly,
