leave same at f. e. Ash store.
Ralph Page of Stoughton, has be-
gun the century by entering the office of
Whitehead & Mathison of GAINESVILLE, for
the study of law.
While here the Floyd Briggs compa-
ny gave Bardeena large order for photos
of the different members of their troupe
in character costume.
The Bird annual" of the Carlton
given by Mr.. and Mrs. E. Burt Carr last
Thursday evening was very enjoyable
affair and participated in by goodly
number.
The Floyd Briggs company gave
three good performances here, Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
They were we'll patronized and every
body was pleased with them.
An Conservation Social" will be held
at the Congregational church Friday

E. All are invited to attend, especially
the young folks who are strangers in
town.

G. Hopkins, who died at Wauwatosa
on Tuesday, was buried from the home
of E. G. Hopkins Thursday afternoon.

Last Friday Judge Smith sentenced
Oscar Hodney to fifteen days in the
county jail. The charge for which he
was tried was assault. Hodney is from
Rio and last Thursday he filled up on
whiskey and started out to whip the
whole town, but was interrupted by
Marshal Reynolds.
Judge Smiths court was in session
Tuesday hearing testimony in the case
of Albertina Stanke VS.. Carl Stanke, her
husband, charged with stealing various
articles of clothing from the closhes line
on the night of January 18th. After lis
tening attentatively to the testimony the

Mrs. Bridget Sweeney, whose death

On Wednesday the county board de-
cided that they had no right to recon
slider the motion made at the November
session and that the structure to be
erected in memory Of the soldiers of
Rock county be in the form of a shaft.
Large petitions were presented to the
board to have the motion reconsidered
and memorial hall erected instead of
the shaft.
One night the latter part of the
past week fellow who had acquired a
very comfortable jag went to the Nor
wegian church and laid down on the
steps for comfortable little snooze.
When he awoke his overcoat and coat
and vest were gone and he has never
heard from or seen them since. The
state of affairs is certainly very bad
when man in quiet city like Edgerton
has his clothes stolen from his back.
THAT the man who doesn't read the
proceedings of the village board of Cam
bridge is at the tail end of the procession
in legislative matters is an argument
that no more needs elaboration than an
Evansville tippler needs guide book to
help him locate the blind pig apartments.
The latest enactment by the august
board of the little village of Cambridge
is a resolution passed at recent meet
ing to bring suit against the street COM
missioner to recover poll tax money
which he has never collected. If all tax
collectors were to be held responsible for
moneys which they were unable to col
lect we opine there would be dearth of
candidates for the Office of collector
when the tickets for the various towns
and villages were made up. Usually a
treasurer Or tax collector who correctly
accounts for what money he has collect
ed is listed as doing his duty. The vii
lage board of Cambridge has methods
peculiar to itself and if it can get a few
dollars from poor street commissioner,
it is their gain and his loss.
