SO far this fall hunting has been the
poorest on Lake Koshkonong seen in
years. Very few large ducks have yet
come into the lake and these are difficult
to kill. One sportsman who has camped
on the lake for a month has only cap
tured Is canvas back to date. Cold
weather is needed to send the ducks
down from the north and the shooting
season will be short one at best.
"A fire on October 18th damaged the

company's representatives, Mr.. Rice and
Mr.. Henry Johnson, and Mr.. Duffy re-
ceived in cash an amount sufficient to
make good the damage by fire. Quick
settlements is the motto of the North
western National.

A select and appreciative audience
greeted the VIM. Owen Co. in their pre-
sentation of Othello at Royal Hall Fri
day evening. Rarely has Edgerton
theater goes been treated to more ar
tistic production and the costumes and
scenery were entirely in keeping with the
high order of the presentation of the
Shakespearean characters. The support
of Mr.. Owen was in general terms good

Mcconnell could scarcely be improved

themselves still strongly into the good
graces of Edgerton people who will al
ways welcome their coming.
