Weather permitting, the Edgerton
Cornet band will go to Milton Saturday
evening to give an open air concert
Good band music is always in demand
and that is why the Edgerton band have
so many engagements.
The population of Edgerton yet re-
mains untold, and the census depart
ment will undoubtedly take their time
for giving it out regardless of the
anxious ones in this city. The latest ad-
vices though are that some time before
September 1st we will know our exact
size
Step ladders are going to be in great
demand this fall for almost every farmer
in this vicinity will need them when
husking time comes. "The corn stalks
are growing out of sight, said a farmer
in our Office the other day, land I'd like
to know where I can buy dozen step
ladders" Dealers please take the hint.
All women are not wise, but the
genuine wise one will be at Royal hall
next Saturday evening. The Wise
Woman company are said to be the best
of the kind on the road and Edgerton
people cannot afford to miss the enter
tainment. A good patronage is sure to
bring good shows to town. SO turn out
and help these good things along.
According to the GAINESVILLE Gazette
the male shirt waist fad Or fashion has
reached that city, and Howard r. Ruger
was the first one to introduce the fash
ion to the GAINESVILLE public. Whether
or not the shirt waist for male attire
meets the approval of the public remains
to be seen; at any rate the men ought to
have as much license as the ladies in Sc
lecting their wardrobe.
Burglars entered three business
places in Madison Sunday night and
succeeded in getting away with about
three hundred dollars worth of plumber.
Nearly all the neighboring cities round
about have been visited by burglars this
summer and there is not much doubt
but what they will try Edgerton before
the season is over. Business men and
all should use every precaution against
the attack of these night sneaks.
Some people still insist on dumping
the rubbish and scrapings of yards and
alleys upon the back streets of the city.
This is all wrong, for no matter how lit
tie street is occupied it is no place to
leave refuse matter, and any one is liable
to fine for so doing. Rather than fill
the streets with rubbish and scrapings,
have little pride and help to keep them
clean and neat. What helps one in the
city, helps all.
The farmers of Dane county will
hold their annual reunion and basket
picnic at the University farm, Saturday,
September 1st, which all farmers and

authorities to make the coming visit the
most entertaining and instructive of any
yet held. All University building will
be open for inspection on that day, and
the college force will devote their time
and attention to the entertainment of the
visitor.
"A fair sized audience greeted the
Uncle Josh Spruceby company at Royal
hall last Friday evening. The play was
enjoyed from curtain up to curtain
down as was evinced by the frequent
bursts of laughter and applause. Geo.
Thompson, as Uncle Josh, was a show in
himself, and he still continues to be a
favorite before an Edgerton audience.
The entire company was good and the
specialties introduced were all of high
order. The orchestra was exceptionally
fine and their numbers between acts
were {. rare treat Manager Carr is to
be congratulated on the list of plays and
players which he has booked for the
