The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1900-09-14
We Have 1t Here.

The Belgian hare industry has one
promoter in Edgerton who is in fair
way to succeed. 90. Shannon at his
pleasant country home just north of the
city is engaging in this business
quite extensively and the profits from
the sale of hares during the past few
months have Melted him a snug sum.
The first stock was purchased last Jan
uary from an importer and breeder of
Mount Ayr, Ind, and since that time he
has bred and sold nearly hundred
hares. The Belgian hare is the most
prolific animal that has thus far been
domesticated, for it will produce it's
young every sixty days and on an aver
age of from s to II at time. The cost
of keeping can hardly be counted, for all
they demand is the trimming of garden
vegetables and little hay or grass. As
a meal producer the Belgian hare excels
all other animals that can be kept in
equal space and at no greater expense.
Besides the hares, Mr.. Shannon has the
Peruvian, Abyssinian and English CAVES
in large numbers. He is a member of
the American Belgian hare association
of Chicago.

Not Entered in the Right Glass.

The Evansville fair last week was a
success IN more ways than one. They not
only had good program, good crowd
and good weather, but they furnished
the internal revenue collector a chance
to do a little business on the side for
your Uncle Sam. For the latter deal
the Fair Association was not responsible.
The stand privileges were let to people
OF temperate habits and supposedly good
intentions. They laid in large stock of
soft drinks with which to serve the
patrons of the fair and at the same time
"coln" little money for their own
pockets. The weather was warm and
the drinks flowed freely, corks popping
every second of the day. Internal Reve-
nue. Collector Crosse was on the ground
and he walked up to the stand to take
little something of what all Stoughton
people call for, Tonica. He got it.
Tonlca is no longer placed in the cate
CORY of soft drinks and the Internal
Revenue man informed the proprietors
that they would have to patronize Uncle
sam to the extent of a government IL
cense and small fine. In the face of
unquestionable testimony and burning
desire to be on the square with your
Uncle Samuel, they agreed to stand for
the shot. And if any one should ask
you the reason why the Blind Pig"
failed to be awarded the blue ribbon at
the Evansville fair, just say to them that
he was entered in the wrong class.

Welded AT VIROOUA.
A Popular Young Tobacco Dealer Married
Wednesday,

w euneSuay.
Wednesday afternoon at 2:3O o'clock at
Viroqua, Wis, was solemnized the mar
riage of Miss Ella Ellefson of Vircqua,
and A. L. Mcintosh of this CITY. The
wedding is to be large society event
and will be held at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Ellefson. The bride is leading young
society lady of Viroqua and is very pop
ular, large circle of sincere friends be-
ing the best of proof of her excellent
qualities and lovable character.
The groom is the western representa-
tive of Julius Marquissee, tobacco mer-
chant, and marked success has attended
his business career. During his four
years residence here he has made many
personal friends by his genial ways and
pleasing manner. He belongs to one of
the most prominent families in Edgerton
and is we'll known and highly esteemed
throughout the county. Heis especially
popular in the young society circles and
is a member of the Coterie club.
After brief wedding journey Mr.. and
Mrs. Mcintosh will come to this city to
reside in prettily furnished home at
1O2 Terrace street. They will be at
home to their friends after September
30.-Janesville Recorder.
Mrs. James Mcintosh, mother of the
groom, Andrew and Frank Mcintosh,
brothers, together with Oscar Jensen
and Thomas Whittet of this city, at
tended the wedding festivities.

ABOUT TIDY STREETS.
Some Things The Property Owners Might
Do to Improve Appearances

Some Things The Property Owners Might
Do to Improve Appearances.
The unsightly appearance of the resi-
dence streets in the city caused a staid
citizen to make some very emphatic re-
marks a few days ago. A synopsis of
his remarks may, perhaps, set some of
the property owners to gazing into the
mirror of events and seeing themselves
as others see them. Not far from home,
on his way down town, he began to no.
tice the unkept condition of the streets.
Here was lot fronted with street full
of weeds and scarcely blade of grass
growing, but inside the lawn was green
and we'll cared for; the next lot front
was all taken up with a deep ditch filled
with brush and refuse matter, more fit
for a wilderness than a thriving, civil
lied community. A little farther on
was one terraced and mown, green and
beautiful, showing that the owner was
far from being narrowguaged, living for
self only kind of a man. In walk of
several blocks he only found three or
four street fronts that were not a blotch
to the appearance of the city, and a dis
grace upon the person who owned the
property.
The first impression of town is un-
questionably gathered from the appear
ance of it's streets and buildings, and by
these appearances town is known. A
stranger usually sees disorderly streets
first, and they over-shadow all other i'm
provements-as a blotch upon a paint
h. - /
same road and seeing the same objects
we are not apt to note the unsightly ap-
pearances. Let each lot owner lend the
same care to the road in front of his
place that he does to his own lawn and
what a beautiful city we might have and
what an impression would 60 abroad of
the city of Edgerton. Why not start a
reform and make Edgerton the beauty
spot of Wisconsin. AS you walk down
town tomorrow just notice the weeds
and rubbish that litter the roadside.
Notice the few places fronting lots that
are cared for which only accentuate the
shabbiness of adjacent unkept ones.
Picture to your minds eye the orderly
beauty of a street whose borders were
uniformly adorned with even fringe of
green grass kept cut and free from
weeds. Along this line what applies to
the city of Edgerton, applies to other
cities and villages and to the rural dis
tricts. The farmer may also be judged
in part by the appearance of the roadside
along his property. Take up the work
of identifying and adjoining in front of
your premises and your property will at
once increase in value to more than
enough to pay for the expense.

District Star Convention.

The Reporter went to press too early
last week to give only brief account of
the District convention of Eastern Star
in session on Thursday last. Delegates
were present from nearly all the chap
tiers in the district and the convention
declared success. Mrs. Budd, of Ian
caster, worthy matron of the state, was
present to direct the exercises.
The Edgerton chapter gave the open
ing work beautifully at the afternoon
session, after which Miss Spencer gave
the address of welcome, with response by
Mrs. Martha Yerkes, past grand Martha
and worthy matron of Milton Junction.
This was followed by instrumental mus
ic by Mrs. F. w. Coon and daughter,
and an able paper on 1.-THE Use and
Abuse of the Ballot" by w. F. Garlic,
assistant grand patron of the grand
lodge.
The banquet was an elaborate affair
served prettily in three courses, the ia
bles being decorated in flowers of the
colors of the order. Mrs. Louise Bower
man of GAINESVILLE, was the caterer and
there were one hundred and seventy
covers. During the banquet the Ed
gerton Mandolin club discoursed music.
At the evening session the Stoughton
chapter exemplifed the work, doing it
nicely. Mrs. Helen Monahan, of Darl-
ington, introduced resolutions on the
recent death of Grand Secretary John
w. Latin, which were passed, and then
the session was devoted to the general
asking and answering of questions.
Among the seven grand officers pres
ent were three from GAINESVILLE chapter
W. f. earle, assistant grand patron:
Mrs. Nellie Sanborn, grand marshal and
Mrs. Mary Sherwood, past grand Electa
Clinton sent no delegation but all the
other chapters in the district were repre-
sented, the GAINESVILLE delegation mum
bering Twenty-Five people.

by it's superb production of Shake
speare's immortal tragedy, has managed
| to create more comment of a favorable
nature than any organization identified
with Shakespearian revival of recent
years. Some papers state that Mr.. Ar
thur is equally as good as the late Ed
win Booth and the critics are unani-
mously in proclaiming the Slayton New
York Stock Co. a marvelously we'll
trained organization. That it is to be
expected however, as the Slaytons have
been showmen of the higher order for 30
years-and that is half life time. The
Slayton production of Hamlet will be on
par with it's other attractions, and will
| be the best performance of the great
tragedy ever seen in Edgerton. At
Royal hall Monday evening, Sept. II.
John O'Berg, who has charge of the
Norcross lighting plant at Fulton, got In
| touch with the current few nights ago
and suffered an experience that he will
remember. At the time he was alone at
the plant and in passing by one of the
dynamos he put his hand on the machine,
while at the same time his shoulder
came in contact with lightning arres-
ter attached to the wall, which COM
pleted the circuit for an instant and a
portion of the 1000 volts which the ma
chine generates, passed across his body.
The shock of course, felled him to the
| floor, and how long he lay there he does
not know, but after time he came to,
| and in half dazed condition managed
to reach his home, when the family Sc
| cured another man to complete the run.
The inside of his hand was badly burned,
and John says the last he remembers
was in seeing big ball of fire come out of
the back of his hand, and large blister
there seems to bear witness that he was
right about it, John has handled cleo
tricity for number of years, but this is
the first time he ever ran up against a
good strong current, nor does he care to
repeat the experience either.
