A $1,000 Team.

When President Albert A. Robinson
of the Mexican Central R'y was in Ed
gerton few months ago, his family was
given a ride after Mr.. G.. L. Culton's
handsome carriage team. The Robinson
family greatly admired the team and
asked Mr.. Culton to set price upon it.
Negotiations have since been carried on
and Mr.. Culton has reluctantly consent
ed to the trade going through at price
we are informed of $500. The team is
a matched span of bays, large and ex-
tremely snowy. One of the animals was
raised by Mr.. Culton and the other by
0. d. Brace in Fulton both having ex-
cellent breeding. 1t would probably be
a hard matter to find their equal as a
carriage team anywhere in this section
of the state. E. @. Tallard and j. J.
Culton started yesterday morning for
Chicago overland, where the team will
be delivered for shipment to Topeka,
Kansas.

Killed in a Quarrel.

John Conroy was killed instantly at
GAINESVILLE Sunday night as the result of
quarrel with Samuel Cooley, who
struck him over the head with jack
plane, fracturing the skull. The men
were in carpenter shop where Cooley
made his home. Cooley says that while
he was asleep Conroy stole 81 out of his
pocket. When he discovered it he &C
cused Conroy, who called him a liar.
Cooley then struck him With plane.
When he found that he had killed Con-
roy he was Mortified and sent friend
! who witnessed the affair to telephone
for the police and physician. Cooley
is 81 years of age and Conroy was about
As. Both men have families, but neither
of their wives lived with them.

Prospects for successful Jefferson
Co. Fair are bright. Oct. 2-5.
j. M. Conway has Red Rover enter
ed in fair races at Madison this week..
Mrs. Will Earle of Madison, was
calling upon Edgerton friends Thursday.
Mrs. A. F. Taylor of Chicago, and
her daughter, Mrs. Bolles of Merrill, are
visiting old time friends in this city.
Bad weather the fore part of the
week has interfered with the fairs at
Madison, Elkhorn and other places.
Another very substantial improve
ment is being added to Edgerton. A
cement walk, curb and gutter is being
laid from the bank corner north to where
the creek crosses the road. The work is
being done by Mr.. S. Mitchell, an expert
in this line of work, and when completed
will be great improvement to the most
extensively used street in town.
Faust will be presented at Royal
Hall, Monday evening, October Sth.
Faust is the title and name of the hero
of Goethe's most celebrated drama, and
is one of the best plays on the stage to-
day. The story of Faust and Margaret
is full of pathos and scenes which ever
interest an audience and portrays the
evils OF bartering ones soul with the
cold. scoffing Mephistopheles that mere
selfish desires may be satisfied. The
play will be presented with full electric
light effects by a strong company with
Hubert Labad1e in the role of Faust.
No one can afford to miss seeing this
great spectacular drama.
A large number of people witnessed
the performance of Gollmar Bros cir
Gus here last Monday and every one was
highly pleased. The Gollmar Bros.
started out in small way some years
ago and have each season added to their
circus, and have built it up in every way
until now no circus on the road the size
of theirs can display better array OF
talent. The Gollmars are all gentlemen,
who are hard working kind and courte-
Gus, and whose enterprise deserves the
best of patronage. Success is sure to be
theirs for they are honest and believe in
doing business honorably and giving the

A Breath of Fall Weather.

A sudden change in the weather Sat-
urday sent chill up the spinal column
of farmers who had tobacco outstanding
in this locality. The weather indica-
tons seemed favorable to a good hard
freeze, but strong wind prevented the
gathering of frost. On Monday morn
ing, however, light frost was visible,
though scarcely enough to touch the
tender plants and vegetables except in
low places.
The cold wave brought out overcoats
and wraps and sent straw hats and other
evidences of summer into retirement. So
sudden change causes the philosopher
of the Madison Democrat to remark that
mot only the clothing but the habits of
people were changed in day. The soda
water counters were deserted and the
druggists mixed up cold cures and pack
ed the loose quinine into capsules in an
ticipation of the rush of people in whom
the chill of the day started up the usual
cold weather complications.
The crowds of Sunday pleasure seek
ers drifted away from the usual haunts.
Church attendance increased as if tidal
wave of religious sentiment had swept
over the city and the Sunday schools
counted the presence of youngsters who
had not gone to the holy places since the
swimming season opened.
Furnaces and stoves in which the CRATE
had not been dropped from the last fire
in the spring were given hurried clean
ing. The head of the family, surveying
the remnant of last winters coal pile,
was rudely awakened to the full import
of the miners strike and the one item in
the Sunday papers that seemed to be.
printed in types that burned was the one
announcing the jump in the price of fuel.
The last rose of summer faded and
went out The China aster in its bright
garb of red, lavender and white shivered
in the breeze and the chrysanthemum in
the lighthouses swelled at the bud with
the Importance of its early debut.

On Monday evening an Edgerton
audience was treated with the produc-
ton of Shakespeare's most bloody trag-
edy, Hamlet. 1t was presented by the
Slayton New York Stock company sup
porting Mr.. John Arthur, an English
actor of considerable note. Mr.. Arthur
in the role of Hamlet displayed all the
emotional nature of the young Danish
prince in the trying scenes through
which he passed and showed him to be
an actor of wide experience and from
the best school of dramatic training.
Edmund Crane as Polonius and also in
the role of the grave digger, character
lied those parts to perfection while
Gandry Brooke, as Laertes, and Effie
Hext as Ophelia should both receive
special mention for the efficiency in
which these parts were TAKEN as should
Eva l.. Chaffee as the Queen, and Alfred
E. James as Horatio the bosom friend
of Hamlet. In fact every part was tax
en- by an actor of real merit and the
company is richly entitled to the good
patronage accorded them. The cos
tunes and stage settings were both in
accord with the scenes and times of this
tragedy. The audience was more than
pleased and Manager Carr is to be con-
graduated on bringing this company to
Edgerton.

Prosperiiy's Supreme Test.

! The amount OF money in the banks
Of the country is the supreme test of
prosperity among the people. II a man
| can feed and clothe his family and
maintain a comfortable home, and be
sides this put money in the bank, it
will not be disputed that he is in pros
porous circumstances. Mir. Bryan is
touring the West and telling the people
in his speeches that the Republican
talk about prosperity is a sham, that
the country is not really prosperous.
His calamity followers echo this vail.
To them and 10 all people who take
any stock in their utterances. we com
mend the official figures Of report
just issued by the comptroller Of the
United States treasury.
This report shows that in the five
years from 1894 to 1899. the number
Of bank depositors in the country in
creased 2.l09. 547. and the increase in
bank deposits was 81, 80. sos ,599. The
average deposit in all the banks Of the
country increased from $500 to $500.
The most marvellous part Of the in
crease was in the savings banks where
the wage earners put their savings.
This unparalleled increase in deposits
and depOsitors between the dark days
Of Democratic hard times and the
glorious days OF Mckinley prosperity
was not confined to any particular sec
ton. The report shows that the in
crease was marked in every state and
territory Of the Union. In Maine dur
ing the five years, the number Of de-
positors increased from 1850 to l54.-
t64. a gain Of y .394 and the total de-
posts increased from $52146,094 to S64,-
533, 232. a gain Of So 3S7, I3S More
over. the increase is stiN continuing in
every section Of the land and when the
totals for the present year are given
out the showing Will be even more i'm
pressive.

the country showing the splendid man
