A. D. Fessenden was down from the

trict school meeting held Monday even
ing, has appointed as committee to secure
plans and recommendations to be sub
mitted to the next annual meeting for
| additional school room, w. FL. Clarke, j
NJ. Conway and D. I. Wilson.
Sam Wileman, Will Clifford and E.
NJ. Ladd were up in Chippewa county
early in the week with view Of invest
| ing in northern lands. Mr.. Wileman is
most favorably impressed with the pros
poets in that country and will probably
purchase land there.
Friends here have received word
| from Ed. Robson that he arrived safe
and sound in Christiania, Norway, on
June Is. His aged parents, whom he
had not seen for years, were greatly sur
prised at his home coming but happy
| beyond measure to meet and greet their
son again. In that far away land, the
home of his birth, among relatives dear
and surrounded by childhood's happy
scenes Eddie still has thoughts of his
| friends back here and writes that ed
| gerton is good enough for me-"
Albert Rinkert, a young man twenty
! two years of age who was employed by
/, his brother on the farm of Ole johnson
in Dane county, was instantly killed by
lightning last Thursday night. He had
been up on account of the thunder storm
and as the storm appeared about over ne
had just gone back to bed. The house
was struck and part of the bolt splint-
cred rafter and shattered looking
glass over his head. No mark was found
where the bolt entered Albert's body
His brother called up the stairway, but
receiving no answer went up to him. He
| brought the body down stairs and pour
| ed water on it, but could not bring a Ee-
turn of consciousness. Funeral services
conducted by Rev. Parr, were held or
Saturday and were largely attended. Al
bert Rinkert was an industrious anc
honest young man and the community
in which he lived sympathize with the
relatives il their hour Of bereavement,
-"The worlds greatest artists" who
were billed for two performances here or
the Fourth did not perform. Theil
failure to appear here on that day was {
disappelatment to the large crowd pres
! ent and to the managers Of the celebra
ton. The contract for the two. perform
ances was made with theatrical man
ager OF good standing in Milwaukee
about four weeks ago and they were tt
receive one hundred and twenty five dol
lars for the day. Further than this
transportation for eight persons wa:
wired to Milwaukee by Frank Ash the
day before the Fourth to make sure o.
their coming. But they did not come
and not word of explanation has beer
received from them up to this date. o.
course their non appearance made gay
in the days program which was hard tt
fill, but Notwithstanding this the cole
! bration was success and nearly all ex
cept the management were satisfied
One thing is certain, and that is the
Milwaukee manager will be scratched
off the list of those to furnish entertain
ments for Edgerton in the future.
