In reviewing the commercial situation
Bradstreet's says: There is a quieter
tone in several lines of business this week
Independent of the reduction in volume Of
distributive demand, resulting from con-
tinued unfavorable weather conditions in
@ large section Of the country. The
strength of quotable values, however,
fails to show that any material slackening
of underlying movements has as yet be-
come apparent in leading lines. Industrial
conditions continue of n most flatterins

"David Garrick ~

One of the very best, if not the best, of
the old English comedies is David Gar
rick" for besides its rollicking comedy
there is a strain of sentiment that makes
the play more interesting to the average
audience. There is something to remem
Der after we have left the theater, some
line true to nature, to cherish and dream
of long days after. To the actor David
Garrick'' is the dearest of all plays, for it
shows the actor in his true light, the
better side of his nature, SO seldom seen
or spoken of by outsiders. Mr.. William
Owen is said to make a fine "Garrick"
and his production of the famous old
piece is well worth going miles to see.
The play will be produced at Royal Hall,
Edgerton, on Tuesday, September 18th.

Three Sudden Deaths,

The Reporter has an unpleasant duty
to perform in chronicling three sudden
and unexpected deaths occurring between
Wednesday evening and Thursday morn
ing last, each of which brings sorrow
and grief to large circle of relatives
and friends.
The least expected of these is that
of Mrs. E. L. Shepard of this city whose
friends were hardly yet aware of her
illness. Only within very few days
was it discovered that she was afflicted
with an internal cancer and the disease
was so far advanced that expert surgical
and medical advice could offer no relief.
She had been confined to her bed less
than week but the disease made such
rapid progress that death came to relieve
her sufferings Wednesday evening at
7:30 o'clock. Funeral services will be
held from the home at 2:30 o'clock Fri
day afternoon.
Mrs. Rufus Bingham died at her home
on Lake Koshkonong at an early hour
Thursday morning after an illness of less
than week of an old trouble, heart dis
ease. She returned a few days ago
from a pleasant trip with her husband
around the great lakes feeling badly and
since then her decline has been rapid.
The end came peacefully and scarcely
without warning to her family. Funeral
services at the house Saturday at 2 p. m.
Mrs Jacob Ressler of Fulton died
Wednesday evening under circumstances
that point to suicide. She had been
suffering from an acute attack of mel
oncholly for short time past but her
friends did not suspect that she would
resort to means to end her existence.
Wednesday she locked herself in her
room and took the contents of a two
ounce bottle of laudanum. She was
missed shortly afterwards, the room
broken open and Mrs. Ressler found in
an unconscious condition. Medical aid
| was summoned but she was past resus-
citation. The empty bottle that con-
tanned the poison was found under her
pillow. Funeral Friday at 1870 o'clock
from the house.

StOughton Bank Matters.

The run that was started last week on
the Stoughton State Bank has appar-
emily ceased, the scare being only for a
day. The run was precipitated by the
unfavorable report of the condition of
the bank published by Bank Examiner
Kidd, but the business men of Slough
ton rallied to the support of their fnan-
cial institution and soon allayed the
fears of the depositors. The action of
Mr. Kidd, whether justifiable or not,
has caused a good deal of feeling in
Stoughton which is doubtless voiced in
the following quotation from The Hub.
ut may as we'll be put plainly and
bluntly-and the Hub caters to no man
and fears none, when it makes the broad
statement that there is nasty mischief
behind the attempt made this week to
wreck the Stoughton State Bank. Con-
spiracy is, perhaps, too harsh a word,
but there appears to be evidence enough
in sight to establish the charge that the
run precipitated upon this bank was a
deliberate, villianous and malicious blow
aimed at the institution by coterie of
it's enemies, and was ment to smash it
into smithereens and drive it out of
business forever.
We believe the Stoughton State Bank
to be absolutely solvent, today, able and
ready to meet every obligation, and that
it will weather this gale gallently and
pay every dollar rightfully demanded at
it's counter. No greater calamity, COM
mercially speaking, could overtake our
city than the downfall of this bank, and
fall it must not and will not.
Ii its banking methods have not al
ways been technically conservative, and
in strict conformity with the code as
laid down in the books, it has been
good bank for Stoughton al the time,
every day in the year, as nine-tenths of
our business men can attest"
An action, similar to that brought
against the stockholders of the old Bank
of Edgerton, has been commenced
against the stockholders of the defunct
Dane County bank in the Dane county
circuit court. The suit demands Judge
ment for all shortages which the bank
fails to pay it's depositors. The original
complaint has been demured to and later
amended. J. NJ. Clancoy is attorney for
all the defendants except ore.
