The artesian we'll put down by Messrs.
D. and D. A. Bullock and G. w. Bur
chard is now completed and has the
largest flow of any we'll in this vicinity.
The depth of the we'll is 548 feet and the
water will rise to the height of eleven
feet above the surface and give good
supply. The water will rise to the
height of fourteen feet but at that height
the flow will not be very strong. At
eleven feet the supply is fifteen gallons a
minute.-Ft. Atkinson Union.

Geo. Murwin and family have moved
from Fulton to Edgerton this week, oc-
cupying the Downing property, where
Mrs. Murwin anticipates opening
boarding house.
The Albion M. E. Sunday School
spent the day yesterday at Lake Kosh-
konong. There was large attendance,
the dinner was excellent and the trip
across the lake in "Uncle Sam" was very
enjoyable.
The Albion Ladies Aid met with
Mrs. Symons last Thursday afternoon
and brought with them a generous sup
ply of good things for supper. A thor
oughly enjoyable afternoon was spent,
and about twenty partook of the excel
lent supper.
Mr.. Gustave Gullickson of Slough
ton, and Miss Marie Kaufman of this
city, were united in marriage by Rev. Fl.
0. Spellman, Tuesday evening, Sept. 10,
1899, at o'clock. The ceremony was
performed at the residence of the brides
parents in the presence of relatives and
friends. The future home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gullickson is to be in Beloit.
The secretary of the fire department
has figured out that in the past five
years the per cent on insurance pre-
miums paid on fire risks in Edgerton
amounted to S1,585.61, which the fire
department has received. And the total
amount paid to the insurance companies
for carrying these risks has been the
princely sum of $79,280. What have the
fire losses been in that time? Five
thousand dollars will more than cover
that sum. insurance companies seem
to be making fair profit on their bust
ness in Edgerton.
The fact that business in general
and the printing business in particular
in Edgerton during the summer season
just closed, was slack in the extreme,
tended to rest the mind and body of We
printer who sometimes grows weary
from over work when business is rushing
ten hours in the day and six days in the
week. Yes those slack, sultry summer
days are past and gone and mayhap the
ease from work has done us good, and if
it has, we wish to state here and now
that the winds of cooler birth gives us
another lease on the vim and vigor of a
business life which will prove advan-
tageous to those who are casting about
for opportunities to save good dollars on
large or small lots of neat and artistic
job printing. 1t is not alone by reason
of rest that we are better prepared to
meet your every wants in our line, but
during the dull season the opportunity
was improved to renovate the Office put
in new machinery, type material and
stock with which to serve customers on
the shortest notice and with the greatest
possible dispatch. With prices where
they belong and an eagerness to be your
obedient servant, we invite your patron
age during the coming months, which
are bound, inspite of all com binations to
the contrary to be busy ones in Edger-
ton. These remarks are tended for the
tobacco man, the merchant, the smith,
the jeweler, the tailor, the farmer and
all others who are seeking along the line
to fortune and are willing to be assisted
through the medium of printers ink.
The Reporter job rooms are yours to
please and benefit.

HARAssING THE INSURGENTS.
Otis Has "a FIotilla of Cascoes That Does
Good work-Much Illness.

Manila, July IA force of United
States troops numbering 135 went
aboard cascoes at an island in Laguna
de Bay and was towed to Mantilupa,
occupied by 500 Filipino insurgents,
the gunboat Napidan going along. Ar
irving at Mantilupa the Napidan
shelled the rebels and then the SOL
diers disembarked and chased the Fill
pinos out of their works into hte hills
nearby until they took refuge behind
extensive intrenchments-toob big job
for 1S5 of our troops-when the United
States soldiers re-eEbarked and went
back to the island.
This is General Otis policy. He keeps
d fiotilla of cascoes ready to convey
troops to points occusted by the rebels,
thus keeping them harassed and guess
ing what he will do next. In this eX-
pedition the rebels are known to have
had ten killed. while two wounded
were our total casualties.
Sickness among the troops has been
the most fatal. The Nebraska, Mon

kota regiments have not more than 300
able men to a regiment. The heaviest
loss in killed and wounded is in the
Nebraska regiment, which has lost that
way $50 men

CAPE COLONY IN TROUBLE.
Opens and Exciting Scenes Are
More Than Probable.

Cape Town, July 1.-THE Cape par
lament opened today and exciting
scenes are anticipated, owing to the
attitude of the premier. w. p. Schrei
ner, on the Transvaal question. A
large number of the opposition mem
bers favor his Impeachment. In the
meantime the Afrikander party is
working up a pro-Boer agitation and
doing it's utmost in this direction. An
attempt to hold a loyalist meeting at
Worcester last evening was frustrated
by the Afrikanders, who precipitated
disgraceful scenes, forcibly dragging
loyalist speakers from the platform
and expelling them from the hall amid
jeers and insults.
1t is reported that several Dutch
members of the legislature participated.
The publication of the text of the
Transvaal franchise law, now being de-
bated at Pretoria. has accentuated the
bitterness between the two elements.
The military authorities here are pur-
chasing horses. mules and wagons and
preparing to forward supplies to KIM

Chicago, July 14.-Frank Stiner,
who was arrested Wednesday night for
the murder of Joseph Karus, a coal
dealer at lis North Green street, made
full confession to Inspector Kalas
soon after his arrest, duplicating Louisa

Karus' wife. His confession was fol-
lowed by a more complete one made by
the woman, and the pair gave as their
motive for the crime their affection for
each other and their desire to be rid
of Karus in order that they might be
married and enjoy $500, the fruits of
the coal dealers industry.

m. yesterday after being IN continuous
session since a. m. What was called
the Deboe-Taylor slate for the most
part was ratified. Before the conven-
tion assembled most of the delgates
were for Taylor for governor, and when
the nomination for governor was
reached about all of them were for
Taylor. The candidates for minor
places on the state ticket were of the
same accord, so that there were con-
tests between Taylor men for the same
places. In these contests there was
yociferous flow of Kentucky oratory
In the contest for attorney general
there were forty-seven speeches by
actual count, and during the day there
were over 300 speeches.
The presentation of Taylor's name
by his leading opponent, Colonel S. H.
Stone. and the seconding of the same
by Judge Pratt, his other opponent, was
a dramatic scene. w. S. Taylor is As

office he studied law and afterward was

of New Hampshire Is
Concerned.

ing Him Released of His Job-AIso says
He Would Have Thrown the Senator
Through the Window If Necessary to
shut Him Up-Kentucky Republicans.
Concord. N. H.. July 1.-THE civil
service commission investigation into
the charges against Senator Gallinger
is over as far as the city of Concord is
concerned. Commissioner Mark 5.
Brewer yesterday gave monologue to
the members of the press who had
reported the proceedings of the inves-
tigation. Brewer invited the reporters
to the suite of rooms in the Eagle hotel
where the sessions had been held, and
there he spoke an hour and a half in
reply to charges made against him by
Senator Chandler and Governor Busiel
through the press. Chandler was in
vited TO be present by Brewer, but de-
clined. Brewer stated to the newspa
per men that when the first letter
came from Governor Busiel making the
charges against Senator Gallinger he
was absent from Washington.
Did Not Want to Try the Case.
Had l been present my first sug-
gestion would have been that Governor
Busiel should put the charges in form
and present them to the district attOr-
ney for the state of New Hampshire.
Inasmuch as they seemed to indicate
violation of the statute and not of the
commissions rules the district attor-
ney could have brought them before
the grand jury of a federal court and
compelled the attendance of witnesses,
which this commission could not do.
1 did not desire to come here
and try this case. | did come simply
because l was ordered to do so. Upon
our arrival here my associates insisted
that / must conduct the proceedings.
This 1 did with as much vigor as l ever
displayed in a trial in court. / have
accomplished ten times more for the
cause of civil service than Senator
Chandler ever dreamed Of" remarked
Brewer, parenthetically.
Would Have Thrown Chandler Out.
Commissioner Brewer quoted Sena-
tor Chandler's remarks that the other
Investigators Commissioner Harlow
and Agent Wales - were good fell
lows" and explained: Il did nothing
here except get mad; that has not met
the approval of these two good fellows,
and l take the responsibility for get
ting mad. If Senator Chandler had
continued those insinuations l would
have flung him out of the window"
Not in Love with the Job.
AS to Senator Chambers movement
for his removal Brewer said: BLESS
his dear heart, he knows nothing about
my relations with the president, and
no more about the civil service COM
mission than does the man in the
moon. l am not filling the position at
my own request and through my own
seeking. but simply and solely because
William Mckinley sent for me and
urged me to take it. If President Nc
Kinley should decide to take the ad-
vice of Senator Chandler and Governor
Busiel, and should ask me for the chair
have occupied for the past eighteen
months, it would be almost as pleasant
to me as to Senator Chandler"
