Professor Hendricksons temperance
talk at the Congregational church last
Sunday evening is the subject of much
favorable comment. Purely original and
illustrated in manner quite different
from the usual lecture upon this subject.
Liberal in all his views and combining
himself to the line of temperament such
a way as to make his remarks convinc-
ing. Mr.. Hendrickson talked to great
disadvantage, he was suffering with a
severe cold, and yet in every part of the
room he could be distinctly heard. The
church was we'll filled and the general
verdict seemed to be that it was one of
the best temperance talks in Edgerton
for years.
AT Royal hall Monday night good
sized audience assembled to witness the
wrestling match between Ole Bradeson
and Reinhold Schott. Everybody was
satisfied with the entertainment and
more than pleased to see Ole win out.
To many it was complete surprise as
they thought Schott more than match
for Bradeson. The agreement was that
Schott should throw Ole three times in
one hour. This he failed to do. 1t took
twenty three minutes to accomplish the
first fall and the second was made in
twenty-seven, but the third and last
never came. Bradeson has challenged
Schott for a best three out of five catch
as-catch can bout, and the challenge
has been accepted. 1t will take place at
Royal hall Monday evening, March Goth.
Fire at an early hour Friday morn
Ing totally destroyed the Edward At
tlesey home in the town of Fulton. The
flames when discovered had made such
Roadway that it seemed almost useless
for members of the family to try to ex-
tinguish them. The house is total loss.
A portion of the contents were saved.
An insurance policy of $500 was carried
in the Town of Union Mutual, on the
building and contents. The cause of
the confagation was an overheated
stove. The fire being at such an early
hour, there were but few friends about
to assist in checking the flames. Mem
bers of the family, knowing that it was a
most difficult task to extinguish the
flames, gave their services toward saving
the contents of the doomed structure.
The furniture and contents of the house
were nearly all destroyed. The family
was left almost destitute of clothing,
but relatives and friends were quick to
relieve their sad condition. Mr. Attlesey
is preparing to rebuild.
The dramatic entertainment given
on Saturday evening last by Mr.. Pyre
and cast, under the auspices of the Mon
day Club, was great success both from
financial and artistic standpoint We
are not often treated to so good per-
Torrance. The selections were all of
high order and were delightfully."- rend-
cred. The audience was appreciative
as was shown by the wrapped attention
during the whole performance. Mr..
Pyre is not stranger here though this
was his first appearance on an Edgerton
stage. He possesses marked dramatic
ability. That he is very versatile was
plainly to be seen from his excellent act
ing in every part comic and tragic, HUI
morous and pathetic. AS the bored
