CORNERSTONE LAYING,
Thousands of Spectators Witness the
Ceremonies.

CHICAGO, Oct 1O.-Surrounded by
men who guide the diplomatic relations
of three governments, and in the pres
ence of thousands of spectators, Presi-
dent Mckinley formally laid the cor
nerstone of the magnificent new fed
eral building Of Chicago. The event
was the browning feature Of the weeks
celebration, marking the annual OBJ
servance Of Chicago day. Long before
the hour set for the ceremonies, the
street surrounding the block on which
the steel skeleton of the new building
stands were packed from curb to curb
with pushing, jostling people, anxious
to get glimpse of the nations presi
dent and the distinguished visitors from
other countries, while every window in
the gaily decorated sky-scrapers sur
rounding the federal building, was
taken advantage Of. The distinguished
visitors included Vice President Maris-
cal and party of Mexico, Premier Lau-
rier of Canada and other notables of
that country and members of President
McKinley's cabinet.
Secretary Gage Presided.
Judge Christian G. Kohlsaat, presi-
dent of the committee on ceremonies,
introduced Secretary of the Treasury
Lyman j. Gage as presiding officer of
the cornerstone exercises. Prayer was
offered by Rev. Frank w. Gunsaulus
and Postmaster General Smith followed
with brief address.
The president then stepped to the
side of the uplifted mass of Illinois
limestone, and taking a trowelful of
mortar from the board, he threw
it under the base of the stone.
AS he did so band that was stationed
in the reviewing stand played 1.-The
Star Spangled Banner" and as the
notes Of the national anthem were
heard, the crowd again broke into
cheers, the noise almost drowning the
music. President Mckinley then p1o-
nounced the stone set and resumed his
seat as the workmen settled the stone in
its place.
Senator William E. Mason was next
introduced and made brief address in
behalf of the city of Chicago.
The day parade began to form as
the ceremonies of laying the corner
stone of the federal building were being
concluded. At conclusion of the cor
nerstone ceremonies President McKin-
ley and the presidential party, with
other distinguished visitors, were es-
corted to the Union League club, where
they partook of hurried luncheon.
Luncheon concluded, the presidential
party were driven to their places in the
line.
The spectacular feature of the festival,
the parade Of all nations, took place
during the evening and was viewed by
thousands, the streets in the down town
district being literally solid mass of
humanity for the entire length Of the
parade. The parade, in which marched
representatives of IA countries, includ-
ing Germany, Venezuela, Switzer-
land, Brazil, The Netherlands, Aus
tria and Hungary, Scotland, Arme-
mia and Assyria, Belgium, China, Italy
and the United States, included nearly
80 floats some Of them extremely beau
tiful and novel. r. ~ =. ;. =.x~t

two young men from Utica, were before
the municipal court at Madison Friday
to answer to a charge of assault and
battery on G.. n. Hauge. The trouble
occurred at dance at Hauge's house
He charged that they were making a
disturbance, which he tried to suppress
and to scare them fired a revolver into
the floor. and that both of them then
struck him several times. Strand claimed
all he did was to help take the revolver
away from Hauge, but Hanson admitted
hitting him once. They at first pleaded
not guilty, but changed their minds and
pleaded guilty later. A fine of S25 and
costs each was imposed, with the alter
native of 30 days in jail After paying
their fines, the young men had Mr..
Hauge arrested on the charge of carry
ing concealed weapons, to which he
pleaded guilty and paid a fine of $40 and

Some of the Bookings for Royal Hall This
Season.
The work of remodeling Royal hall is
now being rapidly pushed forward and
when completed Edgerton will have as
tine and complete show house as any
town in this part of the country. The
stage will be a model in itself, large and
roomy and supplied with all the latest
devices in stage fittings and scenery and
capable of accommodating the largest
and best theatrical companies travelling
on the road today. A handsome new
drop curtain will be put in and the stage
will be lighted with about sixty electric
lights. Manager Carr now has several
first-class companies booked for the fall
and early winter The William Owen
Company has been engaged to give the
initial performance on September 18th.
The Owen company will at this time be
seen in what is considered the very best
play in their extensive repertoire, namely
the old English Comedy David Gar
rick" Mr.. Owen has played at num-
Der of the cities in this vicinity and
from every place comes the report that
both he and his company are far above
the general average. Their costumes are
rich and costly and historically correct.
Their stage settings are artistic and the
entire production has an air of refine
ment. On September 25th the Wade &
Gregerson's Specially company are
booked for one night. October 18th
Hoyt,s Comedy company will appear in
"a Bunch of Keys" November 1st Jas.
G. McAlpin in the Swedish comedy

are being negotiated for and the theater
going people of Edgerton and vicinity
may expect something good in the
future.
The New Telephone Company Organized.
The subscribers to the stock of the
Edgerton Telephone Co. met Saturday
| evening and perfected the organization
by electing the following officers: Presi
dent-F. w. Coon; vice president-W.
! A. Shelley; secretary and treasurer
E. Gettle; board of directors-T. B.
Earle, James Conway and the officers
above named. The Edgerton Telephone
Company is organized with a capital of

scribers are the following Well-knoWn
business men of Edgerton: G. L. Culton,
e. G. Hopkins, DR.. E. L. Shepard, Nc
Intosh Bros, T. B. Earle, James Conway,
J. D. Whittet & Son, L. e. Gettle, E. S.

Coon. The new exchange which is be-
ing built will start in with 50 subscribers
and have switchboard capacity for 120.
Each subscriber will be given full me-
talic line and a long distance telephone
so that one can talk equally we'll from
the individual telephone as from the
central office, giving service far better

commence business by September LIST,
and by that time the Rock county indie
pendent toll line will reach this city.

season with one of the most complete
threshing outfits ever used through this
section. He has bought a Parsons self
feeder and with an automatic stacker is
able to handle a job with considerable
less help than heretofore needed about
the average threshing crew. This com
plete machine however requires about Is
feet more space, being larger than the
usual separator, and hence farmers
should allow for the needed room when
building their stacks if they desire to
use the Horton outfit. He hopes to be
able to take care of all the business
offered this year, doing a quick and
satisfactory job.
Rev. Fl. 0. Spellman rendered his
resignation as pastor of the Congrega-
tional church in this city at the close of
the morning service last Sunday, to take
effect on or before December 1st next,
which date will close four years of pas
tOrate here. In the communication
read at that time Rev. Spellman assigned
no reason for the step, but privately he
assures the writer that he has carefully
considered the matter and had come to
the conclusion that some other man
could better serve the interests of the
congregation. The church has not as
yet taken any action upon the resigna-
ton but will doubtless do so soon. Rev.
Spellman's family will leave Edgerton
for Michigan today though the pastor
will remain until his successor is secured
and installed.

An Innovation In Sleeping Car Serv-
ice Introduced by the Baltimore
e, Ohio Railroad

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad has intro
duced new feature in its sleeping car serv-
ice on through trains between Newark, Ohio
and Baltimore, Nd, and Chicago and Pitts
burg, inaugurating what will be known as
the "Ordinary'' sleeping cars in addition to
the regular Standard sleeping cars.
One of these will be attached to train
No. leaving Newark at $50 p. M, and ar
irving in Baltimore at 1858 p. m. next day
returning on train No. Z leaving Baltimore
at 700 D. M, and arriving in Newark at
1922 a. m. next day.
Also on train No. leaving Chicago at $3.50
D. m, arriving Pittsburg at $40 a. m. Cen
trail Time), and returning on train No. 5
leaving Pittsburg at 7:20 p. m., arriving Chi
cago at 1000 a. m.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is the first
line to introduce this service i'll the eastern
territory for special accommodation of the
travelling public. In these Ordinary" sleep
ers the Pullman rate is reduced one-half, so
that passengers have the choice of paying
the higher Pullman rate and occupying
Standard car or take advantage of the cheap
er rate and occupy the Ordinary sleeper
These latter cars available to passengers
holding either first or second class tickets
These sleepers are new, have been espe-
cially constructed for this service and differ
from the Standard sleeping cars only in be-
ing less deliberately furnished. The seats are
upholstered in RATTAN, and the sleeping
berths, when made UP, have all the comforts
and conveniences of the Standard cars.

HAVANA, March 5. Gov. Gen.
Brooke, referring to the complaints
made at Santiago, that a large number
of laborers have been thrown out Of
work by an apparent reduction in the
financial allotment to Santiago prov
ince, said that the funds furnished the
several provinces by the authorities

privates enlisted in 1895, $4,000 in 1885,
1000 in 1897, and 5000 in 1898. In the
case of about 1000 the enlistment date
is not known.
This general statement is insufficient
for the basis Of payments, and a more
detailed list from the various COM

ACRES AT AUCTION.
Great Land Sale to Be Conducted by
the Union Pacific.

OMAHA, Neb., March Sat 10
o'clock tomorrow morning at the Co
vert house in this city, the Union Pa
cific Railway company will begin one
of the heaviest auction sales of public
lands ever held in the country. The
lands aggregate 10000 acres and are
covered by the sinking fund mortgage
given by the company, Dec. Is, 1873,
TO the Union Trust Company Of New
York as trustee.
The lands are located In Nebraska,
Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. The
disposition of the property and the
confirmation of the sale will practical
ly clean up all the financial difficulties
of the road incurred previous to the
taking control by the present manage
ment.
The number of acres and their loca-
ton are as follows: Nebraska, 1,107, 1888;
Colorado. 342, 594; Wyoming, 4,O62,64O,
and Utah, 618,S24 acres.
Sherman r. Day, as special master,
will make the sale and he will offer
the various tracts separately and then
as whole, disposing Of the property
in the manner which brings the most
money. The upset price is $4,605,0OO
for all the land in the four states,
Which is 6,131, 059 acres.
1t Will probably require about thirty
days after the sale before it will be
confirmed by the United States court,
but after the confirmation the Union
Pacific company will put the land on
the market without delay.
There is little question that the prop
erty will be bid in by the Union Pa
cific company, represented by Vice
President Cornish, who arrived in the
| city today.
After the sale tomorrow Mr.. Cornish
| will go to Colorado, Wyoming and
| Utah to attend the sales of the lands
! in those states, which will be held dur
| ing the week. The officials of the
Union Pacific company anticipate an
almost unparalleled influx of settlers
to these lands during the coming year.
