Last Sunday Abel Amundson of
Sumner was out with his rifle and met
with an accident which came very near
taking his life. In crossing creek he
used the stock of the rifle to test the
strength of the ice: the gun was cooked
and the jar from tapping on the ice
caused it to discharge, the ball striking
the cheek and passing around to
the back of the neck where it lodged.
He fastened home and Drs. w. G. and
Geo. McManus of this city were sent for.
The wound was probed and the ball
soon located and extracted. The young
man is now past all danger from the &C
cident and is doing nicely under the cir
cumstances.

of celebration by the friends and

Reasons for the Urgent Need of an Adj

Reasons for the Urgent Need of an Adj
vancement Association In Edgerton.
Several times there have appeared in
the columns of this paper few lines
calling attention to the needs of an as
ISOLATION for the advancement of the
best interests of our city, or asking for a
meeting of interested ones to discuss
the subject.
Up to the present time these articles
and calls have not met with the hearty
response that they should from our bust
ness men, and we have thought that if
the matter was put to them in a broader
light, it would perhaps bring them to a
sense of their duty towards the city of
their adoption.
A person, with only glance, can look
to our surrounding neighbors and see
where most of them have the advantage
of us in the way of manufacturing in
dustry. Some will say that we do not
need manufactures, that we have the
great tobacco industry; but in order to
keep the tobacco industry and supply
the warehouses with adequate help,
some means for employment the year
around will have to be furnished. The
enormous growth of the tobacco bust
ness has caused to be built in every lit
tie hamlet one or more warehouses, and
in times gone by, where the Edgerton
packers have drawn their supply of help
from these adjoining towns and villages,
the time is coming when there will be
work at home for these people and Ed
gerton will have to look elsewhere. Aside
from this view of the situation. let the
property owner stop and think. Did
you ever hear of a village, town or city,
where good substantial business enter
prises were promoted, where the popu-
lation increased, and that the population
was composed of the better class, skilled
mechanics, men with trades, learned
after many years of apprenticeship?
And if you have heard of such, did you
ever hear that the property of such cities
decreased in value? Do not the proper
ty owners of Edgerton realize that with
the outlay of comparatively nothing but
time and thought, they could double
the value of their holdings, in very few
years, and with very slight increase in
taxes? Do not the business men of Ed
gerton realize that with the outlay of a
little push and energy, combined with
influence, they can, in a short time,
double the amount of their sales and
make twice the profits they now realize?
Edgerton has always had the reputa-
ton of being hustling little city and
it's business men being very enterpris-
ing and up-to-date, SO lets keep it up.
and all take hold and work together.
The writer would suggest that the
matter be brought up at a meeting Of
the city council in an informal way, and
launched by that body, and is in hopes
that the seeds thus sown will, before
many years, result in beautiful and
widely known city.

that the visitors were privileged to be
received by Mrs. Eddy at her estate,

taken to Pleasant View to await Mrs,

ceived attwo o'clock. Promptly at this

FEW RETURN TO WORK.


Reading a.,s June 26.--Not = dozen
of the 1000 striking shopmen of the
Philadelphia & Reading company re.
turned to work Tuesday, al: they had
been urged to do by President Baer
in his letter of Saturday. On the
other hand, there were some acces.
sions to the ranks Of the strikers.
The company's clerks worked until
q late hour Monday night prepara-
tory to paying OF those who disre-
garded the Presidents order. The
car shops are crippled, and the boiler
making and blacksmith departments
are idle. Moulders and machinists
are waiting for orders to strike. The
strikers are following up the advice
kgiven by the leaders not togo near
the company's property.
That the strike, though barely in
augurated, is being felt in the COM
m4nity is shown by the caution with
which many business lei are laying
in supplies. The merchants say that
until the difficulty is settled they
will not invest in any quantity of
goods.
The situation is becoming grave
and q general strike over the greater
portion Of the company's system is
predicted. The impression is cur
rent that in order to win the strike
not only the shop employees still at
work but the trainmen also must be
called out.
Pottsville, Pa, June 26.-Thirty-
four of the 40 strikers at the Palo
Alto shops OF the Reading company
did not return to work Tuesday
morning, while the St. Clair car
shops of the same company are short
but five men. There is no interrupt
ton at the Schuylkill Haven shops.
The striking shop men have opened
headquarters here.
Cincinnati, o., June 26.-As was an
nounced by the manufacturers Mon
day, all the machine shops affected
by the machinists' strike were start
ed Tuesday morning to allow those
of the strikers who wished to return
to work to do 50. The plan met with
but little success, and the strikers
say that not so out of the 5000 still
out returned. ,
