Mr.. Charles Winter Wood head Of
the department of English in Booker T.
Washington's school at Tuskeekee, Ala,
appeared in Royal Hall Wednesday
evening and captured his audience from
the first. He was assisted by home mu-
steal talent and all enjoyed the solos so
beautifully rendered by Mrs. McManus
aud the male quartette consisting of
Messers. Reynolds, Burdick, Mcintosh
and Lampman proved itself to be great
favorite. Edgerton audiences will be
pleased to hear them again. Mr.. Wood
can send mis- audience off in roars of
laughter and by turn bring tears. He
is perfect master either in comic or
dramatic selections. His rendition of
"The Sheriff's Children" and "Dr. Jekel
and Mr.. Hyde" brought out powers that
indicate an artist in the highest sense.
Edgerton would gladly welcome him
again.

system and purchase the electric light
plant. Municipal ownership is the COM
ing thing and all those cities that are up
to date desire to give its citizens
the benefit of enlightened administra-
ton. That Edgerton needs sewerage
system more than anything else at the
present time is conceded by all. We are
subject to epidemics that other cities are
not. by reason of poor drainage and the
general lowness of the town. That we
have naturally one of the easiest. cities
in the state to drain is also an admitted
fact. What the city should do is to di-
vide the city into sewerage districts and
compel each district to put in sewerage
as fast as possible without making it too
much of burden on the taxpayers. The
common council should not grant any
more permits for private sewers, as those
people enjoying the benefits of private
sewer cannot be made to see the neces-
sity of a public system. At the COM
there is no earthly excuse why city the
size of Edgerton should not enjoy the
sanitary benefits that are to be derived
from a sewerage system. The day for
conducting municipal affairs in the in
terest of few penurious taxpayers is
past. The day of sanitation, heallh and
comfort has arrived and those who look
after our municipal affairs should wake
up and consider those things.

True Courage.

Most any may sing when skies are bright
And flowers are blooming on the vale and hill,
But brave souls only carol in the night,
Or when the winter winds bleak and chill.
Most any one may laugh when blessings fall
Down at his feet without his thought or care.
But when adversely holds him in thrall
He must be brave, indeed, with mirh to bear.
Most any may say Now God is good.
When all things for him rosy hue,
But THY will, Father, not the thing would
Takes Faith and Courage that is given to few

A LIVELY CHASE.
Father Tries to kidnap His
Own Child.

Macon, Mo-, May l7.-An eX-
citing controversy over the pos
session of a child occurred at Ethel
Macon county, yesterday, and for
almost the entire day the issue was
in doubt.
l.. +. Forester is II silverSmith
of Boston, Mass. Five years ago
he visited Missouri and married
Miss Nela Richardson, daughter of
James Richardson, Il Western Ma
con county farmer. The couple
went to Massachusetts, and about
five weeks ago the wife left home,
taking her 3-ycar-old daughter
with her.
Mr.. Forester soon followed. He
went to the Richardson home, was
cordially received, and for awhile
it looked like old relations might
be resumed between him and his
wife. But toward the end of his
visit he called his child to him,
picked her up and ran hurricdly
from the house. The mother fol-
lowed, giving vent to most heart
rending shrickS all the while.
Forester, anticipating close
pursuit, had made arrangements
to stop the fast eastbound Santa
Fee train at the depot and had
timed the abduction to catch the
train. But Providence and the
Town Marshal, IL. IL. Gilbert,
blocked his game at that point,
The officer, seeing man hOtly
pursued by Il woman, joined in the
chase and captured the fugitive
and held him till the train went
by.
Mrs. Forester had her husband
arrested for disturbing the peace,
and the Marshal took the little one
from him and gave it to the moth
er, who returned home in triumph.
Then Forester hunted a lawyer,
who looked up the town ordinance
es Of Ethel and found that, while
there were many sections against
disturbing assemblies, church and

Local sunday Games.

Manager White, of the Wheeling club,
was seen by a representative of the Reg
dster yesterday, and asked If he had
anything to say as regards sunday
games on the Island. He said:
Nothing has been definitely settled
upon as yet in regard to playing sun
day base ball. In all of the cities in
the Western Association circuit Sunday
games are played. At Toledo the
grounds are within one block Of the
court house and five minutes walk from
the business part of the city. At Mar
ion. Dayton, Columbus, Muncie, Grand
Rapids and Matthews the best people
attended our Sunday games, and no
complaint has been made or objection
filed.
Sunday base ball gives the working
people who enjoy the game an oppor-
tunity to see the games. and at the
same time keeps hundreds from spend
ing their time in more harmful amuse-
ments. The matter of Sunday games
in Wheeling will be determined later.
