Musical and Monday clubs at the home
of Mrs. w. T. Pomeroy on Friday even
ing was largely attended and enjoyable
to high degree. The program was one
of unusual merit from both a musical
and literary point of view and the audi
ence an appreciative one.
Services will be conducted at the
Congregational church next Sunday by
the pastor. Instead of meeting at the
usual evening hour, vesper services will
be held during the month of June at
o'clock in the afternoon. Subjects for
the afternoon meetings for the month
will be announced next Sunday.
The 47th birthday of Mr.. W. T.
Pomeroy was made the occasion of
pleasant surprise the family had in
store for him Monday evening. About
twenty of the neighbors were invited to
assist in passing very pleasant evening.
AS reminder of the event Mr.. Pomeroy
was presented with a handsome golden
oak library table.
Owing to changes in the assessment
laws made by the legislature the work
of the assessors who are waiting for the
revised blanks, will be greatly delayed
this year. The secretary of state has
just sent out the corrected instructions,
and the local assessors will soon be set
at work, about a month later than
usual. Mr.. w. H. Clark hopes to have
the tax roll ready to begin his duties in
this city by June 10th.
Very few cities have the chance to
hear the Carnival of Venice by Arban,
for cornet solo, because it is the most
difficult piece written for this instru-
ment. Prof. A. Pieper will give us this
solo at Royal hall Decoration day, and it
may be the first and last time we hear
Mr.. Pieper upon the cornet The pro-
fessor once played this solo before Alex
ander III Of Russia and the Emperor
made him member of the royal band.
Henry Brace, of Fulton, lost val
liable horse recently by an unusual &C
cident. His son, Leonard, who was pull
verifying with three horses, got off from
the pulverizer, laid the lines on the
ground within easy reach of his hand.
Without warning they started on a run,
breaking the tongue, the pulverizer shot
up in the air and came dawn, striking
one of the horses on the gamble joint
cutting it off. They had to kill the
horse.
Representative of several of the iron
bridge companies met here last Thurs
day with the committee on roads and
bridges of the county board and the
town board of Fulton to secure the
necessary data for submitting bids for
erecting the new bridge at MELVILLE.
These gentlemen visited the premises at
MELVILLE, took measurements and
turned in their figures at a later meeting
when the contract was awarded to the
Wisconsin Bridge Go.
The children of Mrs. Electa Ogden
Coon met here last Thursday to assist
their mother to celebrate her 81st birth
day. For several years past the occas-
ion has been observed and the children
lay aside their usual avocations to meet
and spend the day at her home. Aunt
Electa is one of the few remaining pio-
neer women in this locality, being
one of the first settlers in the town of
Milton, locating with her husband at
the foot of Lake Koshkonong more than
60 years ago. DR.. Henry Ogden, of Ft.
Atkinson, was down as usual on Thurs
day last.
The trotting horse fever is subsid-
ing somewhat in Edgerton this season,
and many of the animals that attracted
attention year ago have been disposed
of and will not appear in local circles
again. The guideless wonder owned by
G. P. Bliven and campaigned by Gus
Drager last season was shipped to Chi
cage Monday and sold with five other
fine horses owned here. James Conway
sold his trotting horse, Red Rover, to
Milwaukee parties few weeks ago, as
we'll as a matched span of roadsters,
bringing him $1,000 for the three horses
G. F. Mabbett, Joe Conn and G. P
Bliven still have their PAGERS that we're
tracked last season, but it seems doubt
full if any Of these animals will be in
training this year. G. L. Culton and T
B. Earle own several fast ones which
are kept for driving purposes rather than
for speeding. No town about us con
tanned as many speedy horses year ago
as Edgerton, but destine in racing in
terests has seemingly set in.
Rev. Irl r. Hicks says that June will
come in at the eliminating stages of a
storm period, which begins the last days
of May. A return of storm conditions
