Mad Dog Scare at Nora.

Last Monday the citizens of Nora had
bad fright and it may be injury from
what may have been mad dog. The
dog first bit the son of Hans Mustad
Albert Lunde, the blacksmith, seeing it,
took down his gun to shoot the dog, but
before he succeeded was bitten himself
The dog was killed however, and it is not
known at this time whether the dog was
diseased or simply ugly. DR.. Guam was
called out and he is watching develop
ments for hydrophobia. 1t may take
from three to four weeks before the poi
son developes in the bitten ones, if such
is the case IT any symptom is noticed
the patients will be sent Immediately to
Pasteur Institute at Chicago for treat
ment.-Deerfield News.

Early Morning Wedding.

Mr.. Michael E. Conway and Miss Mary
E. Sexton were united in marriage at st.
Joseph's church Wednesday morning at
at $50 o'clock, Rev. J. e. Harlin officiat-
ing. The groom was attended by his
brother, Mel Conway, as best man, and
the bride by Miss Clabby as bridesmaid.
Following the simple and impressive GER
emony at the church sumptuous we'd
ding breakfast was served at the home
of James Conway at which only relatives
and a few near friends we're invited.
The bride and groom left on the morn
ing train for the east where they will
pass several weeks with relatives in Mas
sachusetts. On their return they will
make their home in this city. The Re-
porter joins with many friends in best
wishes and congratulations.
While Mr.. Conway has always been a
member Of the firm of Conway Bros. &
Co. of this city doing an extensive tobac-
co business, up to few months ago his
home has been on farm in Fulton. For
the past three years he has been elected
chairman of the town board and an in
fuential members of the county board
of supervisors. Having decided to
change his residence to this city he re-
signed his Office at recent meeting.
The bride came to this city as profess
sional nurse about year ago and during
her stay here has made many friends.

Wisconsin People in California.

In an interesting letter from G.. E.
Parish to the Stoughton Courier, written
from Los Angeles, CAL, mention is made
OF number of people known to our
readers:
"Louis Alien, son Of Frank Allen, for
many years editor and publisher of the
Stoughton Reporter, is at present at Los
Angeles and holds lucrative position as
bookkeeper. We are sorry to say his
health is poor. He was at one time fore
man of the Courier Office and enjoyed
the distinction of being the youngest
printer in the United States.
Mrs. E. G. Deter, formerly Emma
Wettleson, daughter of Jacob Wettle-
son who enjoys the distinction of having
been the first mayor of Stoughton, has
pleasant home here. Her husband, is a
manufacturer of and dealer in cigars and
has also large interest in producing
oil company.
"E. W. Babcock for many years the
leading merchant of Edgerton, has
handsome home on Bush street where
he is spending the autumn of his life
surrounded by the younger members of
his family. While in years he is ap-
preaching three score years and ten, the
Biblical limit of human life and the sea-
son of the scar and yellow leaf, he is
hale and hearty and handsome, we'll
preserved, portly gentleman with whose
sturdy frame Time is dealing gently.
Mr.. Babcock is the owner of three pro-
ductive and profitable fruit and nut
ranches, one at Corona and two in the
garden spot of the state at Santa Anna.
One of the latter he purchased little
over one year ago from the writer for
$4,000 and it is now worth $4,000, so
rapid has been the advance in values of
all real estate IN this section of the state.
The fruit trees on Mr.. Babcock's ranches
were so heavily laden this season that
the limbs had to be supported on props
and even then many limbs were broken
down by the great weight of fruit, espec-
tally the apricot trees. Considerable
fruit rotted on the ground on account of
lack of help.
"Mrs. Geo. Drake Ruddy, daughter
of the late Fl. FL. Giles, for many years a
resident of Stoughton, is the owner of
several residences in this city. She re-
sides in Mission cottage on Wiltshire
Boulevard, one of the aristocratic streets
of the city, and close to many handsome
and costly residences Mrs. Ruddy is
the president of the "Calfornia Badgers"
composed entirely of ladies formerly res
idents of Wisconsin. It is club organ
lied for social intercourse and to keep
alive the associations of "old lang sine"
They are at present engaged in the laud
able enterprise of starting a home for
working girls. Mrs. Ruddy is also
pleasing writer of prose and verse and
has wide reputation as an authoress.
She is just now publishing new book
entitled. "Club Etiquette Embodying
Club Creed" by Mrs. Robert J. Bur
dette The book will be issued early in
October and will be pretty and artistic
book and will probably fill long felt
want in club circles

Ed Peters and L. G. Whittet return
ed from their fishing trip in the northern
part of the state Wednesday evening and
after the trophies had been spread out in
the show window at Peters market we
are confident The Reporter need not
take back single word of what it said
last week about the fishing genius of Ed.
Peters. The boys displayed three mon
ster lake trout, the largest weighing rs
pounds, and half dozen muskellunge
averaging 10 pounds each. The big
trout were taken from Trout lake, which
is the only inland water that contain
fish of this size. They report week of
fine sport
The month of September just closed
was for lowness of temperature and gen
eral disagreeableness an exceptional one.
The total precipitations for the month was
2.49 inches, which is considerably small
er than the sos inches which fell during
July, the greatest amount which has
fallen in one month for many years. The
largest amount which fell in one day last
month was rs inches, on the 22d. The
highest temperature recorded for any
day last month was rs, the highest for
September for many years. The lowest
for the month was 80. When the tenn
perature gets lower than 45, says the OBJ
servatory, a frost may be looked for.
There were six of these days during the
month just passed.

The late Nathan Davis.

| After an illness OF three and half years,
during which he was confined to his bed
/ all Of the time, Nathan Davis died May Is,
/ 1902, aged 81 years and II days.
He was a lifelong resident Of Stock
/ bridge, one OF the towns best citizens.
/ Most Of his life was a very active one, and
during his illness he lived over again in
his Imagination manyo Of the actual eXpe-
riences of earlier years.
He married Sarah G. Holland Of this
town Dec. I, ISL, and they lived happily
together until her death 81 years later, one
Of the longest periods Of married life ever
known in these parts. His last Illness dat-
ed from the beginning Of hers, but she
died soon, while he WIS spared for several
years. Their two sons Francis n and
Melvin II. Davis, are both Of this town.
For nearly four years the aged father
had made his home with the elder son,
where the most loving care had been be-
slowed upon him by the son and the sons
wife through the long years OF helpless
ness. There are five grandchildren and
three great grandchildren, no deaths hav-
ing vet occurred among his descendants.
Mr.. Davis was interested in all that per-
tanned to the progress Of the community,
including its religious life, in which he
was a prominent figure, having been large
" instrumental IN rebuilding the stony
Brook church, and having done his fun
share in the building Of the Methodist
church in Gaysyille. For very long pc
riod he filed the responsible office OF re-
cording steward.
"Iie was one OF our best men," said one
who had known him 80 years, and this
seems TO be the general verdict.
Funeral services were held Nav 18th,
with interment In Mt. PIE asant cemetery.

tic duties. Yet that she was neither mo-
rose nor exclusive, the testimony Of the
many friends who assembled at the funer-
al services on Thursday witnesses. The
words Of appreciation that fell from the
lips of one were scquiesced in by All.
hare Judgment, executive ability. kind
heartedness and loyalty to the cali Of duty
combined to render her life very precious
10 her kindred and exemplary 10 ain.
As her name indicates, she was q Uni
Nersalist IN religious belief and the ser
vices OF Thursday were conducted bv a
