Fourth of July No. 2 proved
greater day than Fourth of July No. l.
A larger crowd and larger program.
Why not give our celebrations in sec
tions hereafter?
Mayor Mansfield left Saturday

-Marinette people are losers to the
extent of about $4,000 in the land
scheme which brought Stoughton bank
to an untimely end. Eight or ten we'll
known Scandinavians invested from
$4,000 to $4,000 apiece in the land sold
by the Grand Falls company. They ex
changed valuable city property for the
wild forests around Grand Falls, Tex,
and are now rueing their investment.
The celebration postponed for Sat
urday afternoon was a success; the
weather was all that could be asked for,
the crowd was large and apparently
everyone was satisfied with the cleft
over part of the program. The game
of ball between the Madison and Edger-
ton teams proved good card, being
closely contested and resultingin a score
of 3 to in favor of the Madison team.
After the ball game came a short pro
gram. of foot and bicycle races at the
park and later few of the novelty races
were pulled off on Front street. In the
evening there was display of fireworks
not altogether grand but enough to oc-
cupy the attention of the crowd for an
hour or more No accidents occurred
and everything went off in good order.
And be it said that Edgerton will cele-
brate the 4th of July in the year nine

The Blatchford Kavanagh and Ro-
ney's Boys concert company will be at
Royal hall this friday evening. This
company have been secured by the
Edgerton Cornet band under a very
large guarantee, and it is only through
the concert company's reputation as
ideal entertainers that the band boys
expect to make expenses. Prof. ROney
and his ''boys" have visited Edgerton
before and their reputation is estab-
lished. Mr.. Blatchford Kayanagh, bari
tone soloist, formerly known as the "Boy
Patti" and Harriet Dement, Packard
dramatic soprano, are singers OF wide
reputation and their appearance in
Edgerton should be treated as luxury
by lovers of music Royal hall should
be filled as it has never been filled before,
for the Blatchford Kavanagh and Roney's
Boys company are positively the finest
attraction billed here in years, and by
patronizing entertainments Of such ar
tistic merit we may expect to see their
like again.
The trustees of Royal Hall decided
at a meeting held Friday evening to ex-
pend fully $500 in improvements upon
the building and stage. The plan in
cludes the tearing down of the present
stage, rebuilding it larger the full height
of the main building, and the adding of
a complete set of stage furnishings. A
representative of Sosman Il Lands.
scenic artists of Chicago, was here secur-
ing an order for a new drop curtain and
complete set Of scenery, stage furnish
ing, etc. Work will be started some
time this. month and it is hoped to have
everything completed SO the house can
be opened again by September LIST. This
improvement has been needed for some
time, the stage always cramped and the
lack OF dressing rooms apparent. Under
the new plan the dressing rooms will be
provided for at the side of the stage
The drop curtain and scenery hung so
that they will lift directly up and shifted
with but little time or trouble. It is the
