LOOKS LIKE A SURE THING.
The New Short Line to Chicago,

A few weeks ago the papers were full
of a new short line project which the
Milwaukee road was to build from Lib
ertyville to Milton Junction. This in
formation which by some was deemed
of doubtful character Notwithstanding
the acknowledged credibility of the pa
pers and the plausible reasons given for
the project. But now the news, thus first
promulgated is handsomely confirmed
by Roswell Miller, who has just with
drawn from the presidency of the road
and been chosen chairman of the board
of directors. In an interview in Milwau-
kee he said:
"The line that we are building from
Libertyville west is planned to tap the
will be extended to GAINESVILLE and Mil
ton Junction so as to make short line
to points on the Prairie du Chen di-
vision"
The Fox river lake region, to which he

are on Decline from Libertyville to
Milton Junction. At the latter point the
new link will unite with the Prairie du
Chen division of the St. Paul road
which runs thence in an airline to Mad
ison. From the capital city to St. Paul
the route would lie via the old lines to
Portage, Sparta, Lacrosse and so on to
the northwest. A shortening of some
20 miles or more between Chicago and
ST. Paul would be a very important ad
vantage resulting from the new trunk
line via Madison rather than over the
old route by way of Milwaukee and
Portage. Points west of Madison and
Madison itself would be brought about
80 miles nearer Chicago than at present
by this road and the new deal would
give the st. Paul road access to the
several notable lake regions already
mentioned.

Another New Hotel.

On Monday of next week the Fulton
House, new hostelry fitted up for the
accommodation of the travelling public,
will be opened to guests. The old Down
ing property has been especially re-
modelled and fitted up with accommo-
dations for about 40 people, offering all
the conveniences patrons of moderate
price hotel expect. A good barn is also
run in connection with the house. The
hotel is in charge of Mrs. Geo. Murwin,
who for - years has run hotel in Full
ton, with reputation of setting first
class table. Meals and lunches served
at all hours. There is evidently a de-
mand in Edgerton for more hotel accom-
modations and there ought to be lucra-
tive business for the Fulton House.

Engagement Extraordinary.

Mr.. F. Burt Carr, manager of the
Opera House, has closed an engagement
with LaRoy Millard's Famous Minstrels
for Tuesday night, October 10. The
company embraces some of the best
minstrel talent in the world, prominent
among which are Frank E. McNish,
Rosie Albro, Lew Baker, Leroy Willard
and % other minstrel celebrities. This
in itself alone is ample assurance to the
amusement seakers that the attraction
is first-class. Their engagement here
will be one of the extraordinary events
of the season. The press speaks of this
organization in the most favorable terms.
Their appearance here will undoubtedly
draw large attendance.

LOOP HOLES IN THE LAW.
How the KOshkOnong Hunters May Evade
the Shipping Clause.

Assemblyman William G. Wheeler,
chairman of the assembly judiciary COM
mittee, does not coincide with the state
game warden in his decision that the
license feature of the game law applies
exclusively to hunters who shoot aquatic
fowl and deer, says the Gazette:
II wrote Mr.. Ellarson" said Mr.. Vince
Ter, that in my opinion he had better
consult the attorney general before he
began prosecution, or he might have to
issue new circular"
There has been some discussion on
the point of the validity of the amend
ment prohibiting spring shooting of
Mr.. Wheeler says that fact makes no
difference, however, so the law will hold
The open season for the killing of
snipe is twice given in the law. The law
of 1898 made it from September to
December 1, while the new amendment
states it is from September to Janu
airy l. The subsequent enactment rules,
however, so the season lasts until Janu-
airy l.
1t was clearly the intention of the new
law W prevent Cuo shipment OF game OUT
of the state, but far as Lake Koshkonong
is concerned, it makes the shipment a
simpler matter than it has been in some
years. The law provides that no game
shall be shipped unless the boxis labeled
with the owners name and giving the
contents of the package, and the owner
must accompany the package ION the
same train or conveyance" Unless the
laws of Illinois prevent, the man who
wants to ship ducks from Koshkonong
can hold his birds until he gets a guam
tity; label them as required; ride with
them on the train to Rockton, Ill put
new tables on them and send them to
Boston, Chicago or New York. The law
places no limit on the number of pack
ages that can be taken from the state,
provided that the owner accompanies
them.

Hicks October Weather.

Irl r. Hicks has issued the following
forecast for October:
From about the I'd to the 4th look for
a warm wave to pass eastwardly over the
country, with fuctuating, falling ba-
rometer, ending progressively in storms
of rain, wind and thunder, with early
snow to west and north very probably
and high northwesterly gales bringing
up the rear and causing very sharp and
sudden change to cooler. The severest
regular storm period is from the 8th to
18th, after low barometer, high tenn
perature and storms of rain, wind and
thunder with cold sweeping gales from
the northwest. A decided change will
set in on the 18th, the moon being at
perigee on that day, resulting in electri-
cal storms changing to sleet and snow
from about 10Th to 18th. A sharp cold
wave will bring up the rear. About the
Goth to the 23d a change to warmer
with a general return to storm conditions.
On or about the Goth thunder storms
will occur ending suddenly with sweep
ing winds from the northwest and
cold wave.

AN OLD LANDMARK CHANGES HANDS.
The Babcock Store Building Sold to C. M.
eager.

The Babcock Store Building Sold to C. Nj.
eager.
The most important changes in owner
ship of Edgerton real estate that has
taken place for some time in our city is
soon to be consumated in the transfer of
the corner block occupied by Babcock &
Birkenmeyer as a department store, to
Chas. M. eager, former leaf tobacco
merchant>in Philadelphia, whose home
is now in Connecticut. The property
was owned by E. w. Babcock, for years
a merchant in Edgerton, who later years
has removed to Los Angeles, Cal. The
Ladd, real estate agent, for sale a few
weeks ago and Mr.. eager looked up the
matter as an investment and concluded
to purchase it at price said to be about
$4,000. We understand the trade is
agreed upon except the final transfer of
the papers. The department firm of
Babcock & Birkenmeyer has agreed to
take 10 year. lease of the space occu-
pied by them.
The Swift block, as it was formerly
known, is one of the oldest brick build
ings in our city and was erected by Fl. S.
Swift in 1857 and at that time was con-
sidered a monument to the enterprise of
that old time merchant. It is probably,
however, that the erection of a three
story block in town of few hundred
led to the financial trouble that finally
overlook Mr. Swift. Twice Mr. Babcock
became owner of the block, the latter at
price of only fraction of it's cost. He
made several improvements on the
building and it has been good paying
property. The new owner desires to
hold it as an investment.

Burglars do Country Jobs.

Burglars broke into O. S. Olson's store
at Mcfarland Saturday night. They
tried hard to blow open his safe, but
failed, only succeeding in knocking off
the door knob and otherwise damaging
the safe. They made away with some
change, pocket knives, couple of pieces
of dress goods and few other articles.
No clew is yet secured to the burglars.
They broke into the car house and
secured spike mawl and {. crow-bar.
The tools were found in the store in the
morning.
Saturday night, presumably the same
gang that was at Mcfarland, burglarized
Connors Bros store at Oregon, getting
away with quantity of clothing -panta-
looms, hats, underwear, shoes and gloves.
Sheriff Kanouse and his deputies rode
all day Sunday trying to get track of
the thieves, but without success.
Marshal George Appleby of Beloit,
made a very clever and important cap
ture Wednesday morning when he
caught two men with quantity of
goods in their possession, which had
evidently been stolen. The articles con-
sisted of clothing, shoesS razors, knives
and silver. The plumber is supposed to
have been taken from Madison and Ore
gon merchants, and officers at the two
places were telegraphed for and went to
Beloit to identify the articles.

A Large Contract.

The biggest advertising contract made
in many years with a single newspaper,
is the one just closed between Wanna
maker and the Philadelphia Record,
which is for whole page for year for
100000. Wanamaker knows how he
made his money, and he follows up his
old time policy of advertising. The
policy should commend itself to business
men everywhere. 1t is to confine adver-
Using to newspapers. In no other kind
of advertising are the returns so sure or

Fourteen car loads of Vernon county
'98 tobacco has been received during the
week for storage in the Herbs, Vert

the week getting shipment of old stock
from growers and local dealers.
Sherman D. Green of New York, con-
nected with the firm of J. Bunzl Sons, is
here for the purpose of sampling the
packing owned by the firm in this
market.
Fl. S. McGiffin is back from business
trip to New York, where arrangements
were completed for taking charge of the
Wisconsin business of the firm of Lewis
Sylvester & Co. for term of years.
This office has for sale several styles
of contract books as we'll as all other
blanks and forms used by packers.
Samplers supplies, such as tape, Irvine,
wax, etc., kept on hand. Orders by mail
or wire filled promptly.
Frosts of the past week slightly nipped
late standing crops of tobacco, but so far
as we can learn, did very little damage.
From Viola northward all unshedded
crops were more or less damaged, some
of them totally destroyed by hail, which
visited that section week ago Sunday.
At this writing there is no outstanding
tobacco of any value. Buyers are still
riding in a moderate way. Farmers ap-

storm of protests from the women.
One of Athens leaders OF fashion ap-

with very minute bonnet. The Of
