"A preliminary canvass develops the
the fact that the business men of Ed
gerton stand ready to invest something
more than S40O in 4th Of July celebra-
ton in this city. On the strength of
this showing it has been thought best to
call meeting of the business men and
all others interested at the Hotel Carl
ton for this (Friday) evening. The time
is now limited and whatever is done must
be do1e quickly. Come out to the meet
ing.
Tuesday morning eight special trains
loaded with Woodmen and their friends
passed this station for Madison at which
place was held the annual picnic of the
Northern Illinois and Southern Wiscon-
sin Picnic Association, the event Of the
year among the Woodmen. The city
was handsomely decorated for the occa-
sion with flags and bunting of WOodmen
designs. The first feature of the day
was the parade of officers and marching
Woodmen, which took fully an hour to
pass given point. The exercises of the
day were we'll carried out and interest
ing, interspersed with music by 80 bands
and it is estimated that something like
$4,000 people were in attendance. Ed

The saloon of Frank Hartstein was
broken into one night last week and
some small change left in the till and
small quantity of liquor taken. Sus-
picion at once turned towards local tai
ent as the author of the theiving, but |
the evidence secured was hardly sufic-
lent to justify the local officers in issuing
warrant. Wednesday Dist Atty Jack
son was up from GAINESVILLE and investi-
gated the case with view of finding out
if sufficient testimony could be found to
warrant arrest and prosecution. We
learn that certain suspicious circum-
stances was about all that was devel-
oped, though it is highly probable that
the suspicion is a correct one.
People in the country who are an
noyed by flies should remember that |
clusters of the fragrant clover, which |
grows abundantly by nearly every road
side, if hung in the room and left to dry |
and shed its faint fragrant perfume
through the air, will drive away more
flies than sticky saucers of molasses and |
other fly traps and fly paper can ever
collect.
