-Shepard's Minstrels gave a very
good performance at Royal Hall Monday
evening but the house was miserably
small. There were specialties on the
program that were exceptionally good
and the entire program ranked higher
than the average shows that visit US.
If they were to come again they would
get better treatment from an Edgerton
audience.
Africa and the Boer War" proved
to be another of those parishes that go
about the country, ostensibly with a
good thing, but actually with no reason
on earth for existing, except the abnor-
NAL amount of gall that keeps them
alive. Edgerton people are reputed to
be liberal patrons of legitimate amuse-
ments, but draw the line at shows so rot
ten that they would make dead man
kick. Let us hope for something better
next time.
Peak Bliven's family arrived from
Tomah Tuesday morning and will here

the Taylor House property at Lake
KoshkOnOng and has concluded to leave
railroading and take we'll merited rest.
The idea that small town must
necessarily depend upon a limited
amount of trade is erroneous, says an
exchange. Just as soon as any town
gets the reputation of being a money
saver for purchasers, just as soon as the
farmers become convinced that he can
get as much or little more for produce,
that town will draw trade. There is
nothing so sure to bring a customer to
your store a second time as a bargain the
first time. Two business transactions
with a moderate profit make more money
than one deal with large gain
The Ellingson hardware store had a
narrow escape from serious fire Mon
day night Workmen left charcoal
soldering heater in the back shop con-
tanning Goals. After thestore was closed
this fire communicated to the floor, burn
ing away hole nearly three feet across
The fire was slowly eating away when
the clerks arrived the next morning and
the store filled with dense smoke. A
little water extinguished the blaze, but
the fire was almost directly over the
oil tank underneath the floor, which il
ignited would have made an ugly fire
Lucky nothing more serious occurred.
