the good of the public schools at heart

Atty l.. E. Gettle has been engaged
to deliver 4th of July address at
Neillsville. We can assure the people
of that place that Mr.. Gettle will give
them a good hot speech and possibly
pluck few feathers from the American
bird on that day.
Receiver Towne has been steadily
paying the Sd dividend to the Bank of
Edgerton creditors during the week.
While there has been no rush of deposi-
tors after their money they have been
quietly dropping in for their share of the
30 per cent. dividend now being dis
tributed. In all now 80 per cent. of the
banks indebtness has been paid, There
will probably be a final dividend of
small amount yet to come after the eX-
penses have been paid and all the af-
fairs Of the wreck closed up.

Billy Dickman, the lightweight
champion of this place, met signal
knockout at Shullsburg Friday evening
in sparring match with Alex coleman.
His opponent was 40 pounds heavier and
while Billie gave them a good exhibition,
in the sixth round he was forced to the
floor, striking upon the back of his head
and made insensible. The blow was
severe ore and Dickman was only able
to return by Wednesday.
From all sources comes the infOrma
ton that next Wednesday will be the
largest and grandest day that Edgerton
ever had. People from the country, peo-
pie from the surrounding cities and vii
lagos are making preparations to come
here and celebrate, and Edgerton is
making arrangements to entertain up
wards of eight Thousand on that day.
Everything is shaping for grand, good
time and there will be no charges for
any of the entertainments. The races
are booked to be the best we ever had
and the one by horses owned by local
blacksmiths promises to be prize Win
ner. The vaudeville show will be rare
treat in itself as the company is COM
posed of artists in their line and they
have been secured at large expense.
The parade, the music, the speaking are
all worth coming miles to see and hear.
Edgerton will be dressed in holiday at
tire, with stars and stripes, red, white
and blue bunting and no pains or ex-
pense will be spared to please and enter
tain. In the evening there will be a
grand ball in Royal Hall for those who
care to dance. Come early and stay late
and we will guarantee a good time.
Yankee genius has planned many
contrivances for the pleasure and pas
time Of the youth and maiden Of these
great United States, one of them is called
"The Ocean Wave" 1t is operated on
the plan of the merry round and is
supposed to give you d correct imitation
of a ride upon a large ship sailing the
main. During the past week an Ocean
Wave has been giving the young people
Of EdgertOn a chance to invest five cents
for a ride upon the rolling sea. A few
nights ago a young man dressed in his
other clothes started in t. treat very
pert young lady to all the good things
that his salary would permit him to buy.
They had lemonade, pop soda water
and ice cream dished up in the latest
style, and then arm-in-arm they strolled
rolled out from meath the Ocean Wave
canvas. The young man dropped two
nickles in the slot and secured a couple
Of reserved seats on the deck of the
Wave" Steam was up and away they
went, round and round, up and down,
out and in until the whole world seemed
to be revolving for their special benefit,
and for awhile the trip afforded them
more pleasure than anything since the
first circus came to town The young
lady not being used to sea-faring, became
suddenly sick and had longing to part
with the mixture of cream, pop and soda
water. Just where, and when and how
would be the proper way to do it she
did not know. She leaned toward her
escort trife, turned deathly pale and
spasmodically drenched him with all the
goodies which he had bought for her at
the restaurant. 1t was a sorry sight,
