Better Than Expected

Since making a contract with Mr..
Giffen for concert by his orchestra and
popular entertainers the manager of the
band has received the following letter:
CHICAGO, May 49, 1900.
My DEAR SIR
Mr. Giffen has asked me, as his
business manager, to say to you that
owing to the illness of a member of
the orchestra he has decided to transfer
his Eastern company to fill all engage
ments during the month of May. This
celebrated Hungarian Orchestra will in
troduce fine soloists, the program being
especially managed for the occasion with
excellent music for dancing.
Mr.. Giffen has gone to great expense
in transferring this orchestra, and can
scarcely afford to place this company at
the price, but it is to keep good faith
with the company that he does so.
There will be six g. artists as guaran-
teed you. This company will be with
you on May 25th and assure you an ex-
cellent concert and a good time. [ will
fill the bill as character sketchist in this
company, same as in the other company
Sincerely,
HELEN G. BICK.

Circuit Court Proceedings.

The jury term of the circuit court
opened May 7th, the first case being the
town of Fulton VS.. Ell. S. Pomeroy. The
jury was drawn when the case was
settled.
In the case of Edw. J. Fonda vs. Her
ages to the amount of S95. Fonda was
in Kath's saloon in Clinton last spring.
In the case of Chas E. Jones VS.. the
village of Clinton, the jury decided in
ed to. have an injured knee, caused by
driving over pile of stone in the night
and being thrown from his buggy.
A number of personal injury cases
against railway companies were settled
out of court.
The first case taken up this week was
the action of Emma Metcalf VS.. John
Retsher. The interested parties reside
in Beloit. The plaintiff alleges that in
April 1898, she was injured by being
thrown out of her buggy. She claims
that the horse that she was driving be-
came unruly as the result of being run
into by a horse that Mr.. Ritsher was
leading
When the repIevin action of Ann At
tlesey VS.. William Attlesey was called it
was stricken from the calender on mo-
ton of Attorney Fl. S. Sloan for the de-
PENDANT, for want of jurisdiction. The
interested parties reside in Edgerton
and the trouble was over the possession
of horse.
Judge Dunwiddie on Tuesday handed
down his decision in the case of the
Hutson heirs VS.. And Jensen and Robt.
Attlesey. as bondsmen for Mrs. Hutson
as executrix of the estate of Thos. Hut
son, which he had held under advisement
for some time. The judgment was in
favor of the plaintiffs for something like
$1,000. The case has attracted a good
deal of attention because of it's unusual
features. twill come pretty hard fol
the bondsmen to put up this amount
of money and will only do So we are in
formed, after the supreme court afirms
the decision. Some of the aftermath o.
the Bank of Edgerton failure is working
good many unjust hardships.

ONE does not need to go to the Worlds
Fair at Paris to see brilliant street illu-
limitations. The Milwaukee Carnival of
last year afforded an illustration of what
can be done in the way of street illumi-
nation that has been the talk of people
ever since. It will be repeated on a
grander scale at the Carnival this year,
from June rs to %, and Wisconsin street
and Grand avenue will be blaze of
lights every night, arched at intervals of
every sixty feet by scores of electric
lights. Searchlights from the top of
high buildings will add to the brilliancy
and plenty of music will enhance the
Carnival spirit that will prevade the very
atmosphere.
