Mrs Coulman and sister, Miss Hal
deman visited Sunday at Spring Grove,
Ill.
The teachers institute will begin

Henry Ebbers, of Burlington, visited
Saturday and Sunday with friends in
this place.
Little Della Haverstack, a resident
of Waukesha, was playing with her
brother in a barn on the Phillips place
when the latter accidentally struck her
with shingIe in the face. The missile
tore deep cash in her cheek leaving
quite large fragment imbedded in the
flesh. DR.. Darby extracted the piece
Of wood which had been forced in
against the cheek bone and sewed up
the wound.
Clyde Sanborn passed through the
village Monday on the way to Chicago.
The apple crop promises to be large.
O'MaIley Bros. started up their cider
mill Saturday.
The drouth was broken by gentle
rain which fell nearly all day Thurs
day. Thursday evening the ladies of
the Woodmen's Aid Society gave So
ciable at the hall. The night was in
clement. Dark clouds hung near the
earth leaking dismally. The walks
we're mostly pools of water and the
road crossings where they have been
graveled were seas of yellow slush. A
fair sized crowd was present however,
and ali were amply repaid for their
trouble in getting there. The main
feature of the program was a song,
g Won't You Be Ny Sweetheart illus
trated by three tableaus showing a
couple at three different ages. The
song was sung by Miss Lille Darby in
manner deserving of the highest
praise. j. F. Thompson rendered a
solo upon the violin which was enthus,
iastically. applauded and Miss Ethel
Wright came in for fair share of APP
probation. The lucky ticket on the
quilt was held by Mrs VIM. Faulkner.
The rain Sunday, day and night was
a record breaker. The damage to corn
fields and such grain as was still stand
ing seems to be universal. 1t seems at
times as if the clouds opened and let
the flood through. The water in the
river was raised and fishermen sudden
ly became active. Ed. Carpenter saw
IL huge muscalonge but left the capture
to some one more fortunate. Peter
SchlaX hooked a large eel and conse-
quently lived high at least for one meal.
When you see a group of men in con
versatiOn you may be sure that politics
is the subject of their discussion and
when you come across q man in silent
reverse you may be positive that he is
trying to sum up the number of candi-
dates for the Office of sheriff.
Mckinley buttons ournumber the
Bryan buttons about Is to l. A Nc
KinleY club will be organized shortly.
Friday evening Mrs. Herman Mahl-
zen took exceptions to the manner in
which her husband lavished his afec-
tons upon her and complained to the
town board. After an investigation,
Chairman D. j Vincent warned the
over demonstrative hubby not to fondle
his vie with a bread knife any more,
to abstain from tickling her under the
chin with his finger nails, and in the
dazzling future to desist from careesing
her with stick of cordWood. Herman
is the same ambitious citizen who
boarded at the county's expense a year
ago after he had turned populist and
helped himself to a farmers sheep.
They say that he found the experience
delightful and is anxious to try it
again.
