Called to Broader Field.

Willard S. Heddles, who is at the head
of leading business enterprise in our
town, the Heddles Lumber Co.. has been
employed to take charge of the extern
sive business of the Birmingham s. Xix
on Lumber Co. at Madison. On Janu-
airy 1st he assumed the entire manage
ment of the firms large wholesale bust
ness, as well as the thirty-two retail
yards located in Southern Wisconsin
and Northern Illinois. The position is
one of responsibility and requires the
talent of a man thoroughly versed in the
details of the lumber trade and we are
confident Mr.. Heddles will bring to the
firm an experience that will be valuable
in directing it's business. The new po-
sition will necessarily require Mr.. He'd
dies presence at the Madison office
good share of the time but he does not
expect to give up his residence in Ed
gerton for the present at least and will
maintain the Heddles' Lumber Co.'s
business as separate institution. Mr..
Heddles' friends will be pleased to learn
that he has been called to broader
field and wish him success in his new
position.

NOrcrOsS Wins His Suit.

The case of Taylor against the Indian
Ford Water Power company which was
tried before Judge Dick last spring, has
been decided by him in favor of Taylor.
Taylor brought an action against the
water power company restraining them
from drawing off the water in Lake
Koshkonong, claiming that it injured his
property on the lake shore which was
used as summer resort. He asked that
the water power company be restrained
from drawing all of the water out of the
lake in time of dry weather and from
flooding all of the adjacent property by
keeping the gates of the dam closed in
the spring and rainy weather. The SUI
preme court has already decided that a
water power company has no right to
keep the stage of water in lake at such
a level that it will be detrimental to the
surrounding property, but must main
tain it at somewhere near the same level
during the season. The case will in all
probability be appealed to the supreme
court.
Back of VIM. Taylor, who was nomin-
ally plaintiff in the case, stands Pliny
Norcross, the owner of the mill at Indian
Ford, who is vitality interested in this
decision. Mr.. Norcross also furnishes
the power that operates the incandes-
cent lighting plant of the Edgerton
Electric Light Co. The latter company
has been awaiting the result of this liti-
cation before renewing power contract
with Mr.. Norcross.

Christmas morning is fixed pole and
from it are hung offerings of corn and
wheat for the winter birds. The Nor

Presents wrapped in huge trusses of
straw are thrown into houses through

tents are left to guess where the offerings
came from till the following Christmas
day, when there is general confession

"A MIDDAY FIRE.
II. 20. HopSlns's Warehouse Destroyed.-A
Small Amount of Tobacco Burned.
Loss Covered by Insurance.

Small Amount of Tobacco Burned.
Loss Covered by Insurance.
The alarm of fire sounded shortly after
noon Thursday brought out the depart
ment quickly as well as nearly every res
ident in town. Before any one could
reach the scene however, flames were
coming through the roof of warehouse
No. 4, owned by E. G. Hopkins. Some
of the warehouse help, who were eating
their dinner in the building, say as soon
as they smelled smoke the interior of the
warehouse about the chimney was ablaze.
They immediately started the alarm but
before the firemen responded the fire
was we'll under way. Warehouse No. 20
stands scarcely so feet to the north and
the Heddles Lumber Co.'s sheds nearly
as close on the south and the work of
the department was mainly directed in
saving the adjacent property and with
the help of four we'll directed line of
hose it succeeded. There is little left of
warehouse No. but blackened timbers.
Mr. Hopkins was using the building for
sorting purposes and storing his tobacco
elsewhere, so there was less than 5Ocs of
leaf on hand besides half dozen crops
in the bundle. There were. however,
900 empty cases in the warehouse that
helped make pretty nasty blaze. Mr..
Hopkins loss through the fire will prob
ably reach four or five thousand dollars
aside from the building, which will be
largely covered by insurance. At this
writing we are unable to obtain correct
figures.

A response came from President
Roosevelt as soon as he arrived at
North Creek, at 500. He replied with
an acknowledgement of the receipt of
the message, stating he could not now
express his sorrow in suitable terms.
He added he was starting at once for
Buffalo on a special train, expecting
to arrive this afternoon. The secre-
tary of state, after comforting with
Secretary Gage. the only cabinet off,
Ger remaining in the city beside him

special reason for urgency in taking
the oath by Roosevelt
Under the terms of the constitution
he became president in fact immedi-
ately upon the death of Mckinley, and
he already had taken the oath of office
to serve the United States government
when he became vice president so after
all taking the new oath is not cere-
mony that seems absolutely necessary
to prevent an interregnum in govern
mental affairs. 1t is not doubted, how
ever, Roosevelt will take the oath as
soon as he arrives at Buffalo. If for no
other reason than to keep within the
line of precedents.

showed its first stir. The relatives Of
Mckinley began arriving, and waiting
attendants stood at the open door to
receive them. The most painful scene
of the morning WAS caused by camera

Senator Hanna came to the house at

Dawes. The senator is broken in spirit
at the death Of the president, but re-

incident of the morning was the coming
OF Mrs Garrett A. Hobart. wife of the
former vice president. and son. Mrs
Hobart was in deepest mourning, and
after her visit to the house came out

stories OF premonitions of the accession
OF President Roosevelt. State Senator
Laughlin tells that not over four weeks
ago, while display of fireworks was
being made at the Pan-American expo

then vice president was shown in fire.
Underneath it were the words Our
Wee President" Hardly had the pic
ture been lighted when the word vice"
burned out and left standing in hugh
letters under Roosevelt'.S picture the
words Our President" In minute or
two the word our accidentlly burned
out as had the other word. and for fully
seven minutes the single word "Prest-
dent" stood out in bold relief. Laughlin
says everybody in the place was inn
pressed with the strange occurrence.
Now 1t would seem prophetic.
