A Stormy December.

Rev. Hicks promises plenty of winter
weather for the balance of the month
for he says:
On and touching the 10th and 18th
will come a very noticeable reaction to
warmer-another fall of the barometer
will pass eastwardly across the country,
merging into more storms of winter rain,
turning to general snow. The passage
of the moon over the celestial equator
on the 18th, blending with the perturba
tons of winter solstice and moons last
quarter, will cause some winter thun-
der and lightning i'll sections southwark,
but the general disturbances will be
boreal in character, bringing heavy snow
and winter gales to many parts of the
country. Many other parts of the globe,
on land and sea will experience heavy
winter storms, beginning at this period
and extending through the remainder of
the month. Blockades of snow and de-
structive burdens of sleet, all winding
up with full grown cold wave, are the
things to be feared and provided against
the last week of the year.

Obituary
MRS. OLE ELLINGSON.

In the death of Mrs. Ole Ellingson,
which took place at Rockdale on the 9Th
inst, after brief illness of pneumonia,
another of the pioneer women of Dane
county has passed away. The deceased,
jem was born in Norway, Aug. q, 1926,
and emigrated to Wisconsin with her
husband more than fifty years ago, settl-
ing on farm in Christiana where fam
lily of six children was reared. Aside
from Mr.. Ellingson, whose health is very
poor, three sons, Thomas A., Ed. B. and
Peter NJ, all residents of this city, and
Mrs. Norgard of Rockdale and Mrs. j.
Notsetter of Nora, survive. Funeral SER
vices took place from East Koshkonong
church Monday afternoon and was large
ly attended by former neighbors.

Trolley Line Project to De Revived .

The Madison-J anesville electric line
project, which was thrown down by Mr..
Clough after having secured favorable
franchises at Edgerton and GAINESVILLE a
few months ago, seems in a fair way to
be revived again. The Southern Wis
consin Interurban Co., promoted by the
Hayes Bros, Jackman and other James
vile Capitalists, who were competitors
for the franchise last summer, have APP
piled to the council at GAINESVILLE for a
new franchise and promise if it is given
them to construct an interurban electric
road from that city to Madison. AS an
evidence that they really mean business
they agree to file ample bonds to COM
mence the construction within a year
and complete the line within three years
from date of franchise. We also learn
that petition is being signed among
the business men of that city urging the
council to grant the franchise. But it
seems as soon as one corporation starts
in working up project of this kind,
others are soon in the field asking the
same thing.
Now it is announced that the corpora
ton owning the electric lighting plant.
which bitterly opposes any move. of the,
water company, has organized and has
interested New York and Chicago CAPT
talists. The company will at once apply
for charter, and, if successful, would
build two roads, one to Madison and one
through Walworth county, connecting
with the Hales Corners or proposed
Mukwonago roads running into Milwau-
kee. On top of this comes the announce
ment that G. Ell. Smith, Fond du Lac
promoter, has purchased the local street
railway and would extend the line to
Milton Junction and thence north to
Fond du Lac
Thus complication has arisen that
may defeat all these projects. When
they have fought out the proposition at
GAINESVILLE and the corporation that is
successful in getting the franchise really
means business, they will find Edgerton
is ready to grant the necessary franchise
through this city.

Napoleon B. Shreve, a substantial
citizen of Evansville, was found dead in
bed IN room at the Capital house at
Madison, Tuesday morning. Death was
caused by gas, the illuminating jet hav-
ing been turned. His friends and attor-
neys, who arrived from Evansville after
being notified, assert that death was &C
cidental rather than through suicide.
Mr.. Shreve went to Madison. for the pur-
pose OF being examined at the sanitar-
ium, as his health had been failing. He
leaves wife but no children. He was
employed at the head of one of the de-
partment stores of the Evansville Mer-
camille association.
City Clerk johnson has finished the
computation OF the city tax roll and it is
consoling news we bring to the tax pay
ers when we assure them that the
amount they will be called upon to pay
is less than year ago on similar valua-
tons. The decrease is exactly $1.85 on
each $1,000 valuation, as the rate is SAT-
as against S1656 last year. The amount
raised for state and county tax is about
$1,000 less, and the district school tax
levy is also less than year ago. While
the total amount raised is slightly more
than last year, the valuation having
been increased about $4,000 brings the
rate lower.
Bill Nye, the great American hum
orist, once said, Have good time while
you're living, for you'll be a long time
dead This is good advice, but there
are many ways of having good time.
One of the very best is to go and see the
hilarious farcical ecstacy "A Run For
Her Money" which makes it's initial bow
to Edgerton amusement lovers at Royal
Hall next Friday night, Dec. 18th. The
fact that this play is from the pen of
Charles Horwitz, author Of so many
great stage successes, as we'll as the
world famous songs Because" and al
ways" and the assurance that the play
will be enacted here by the original east
ern company headed by Miss Jennie
Calef, without peer as delineator of
buxom Irish widows.
The aged mother of Conductor Geo.
Prescott, who has been on this division
Of the Milwaukee road for more than
forty years past, died at Boscobel last
week. The story is told that when the
news came to him of her late illness he
took the first train for Boscobel and in
his hurry forgot his annual pass and the
conductor in charge Of the train, being
from Missouri, you had to show him and
nothing else would do, collected sew
eral dollars from Prescott. It is said
some warm words passed between the
conductors, who have run opposite to
one another for many years. The com
pany will of course refund the fare but
it looks like pretty small business when
it was known to both men that the other
was entitled free transportation over the
line

YACHT CLUB LAID 1T OVER
PROBABLE PENNANT WINNERS

The Yacht Club laid it over the prob
able pennant winners in the Inter-Club
Bowling League match last night to
the tune of two out of three on the
Yacht Club alleys, and during the
match the man leading off for the
Yacht Club team broke the league in
dividual record by 16 pins and the in
dividual series of three games record
by greater number.
The games were close and were play
ed for all there was in them, and were
intensely interesting to the spectators.
The Yacht Club won the first game
by Sc pins. The Hussars took a brace
and captured the second by 1O2 pins,
but the Yacht Club struck their win
ming gait again in the third, and won
out, after an exciting and close finish
by the narrow margin of pins. The
work of Mcintyre of the Yacht Club
in the last game was marvellous, and
besides registering the highest indi-
vidual game in the history of the
league, which was 230 pins, made by
Blum of the Tomochichi a few days
ago. he broke a record of the series
and saved the day for his team. Aus

CHARLESTON AND SAVANNAH
IN BASKET BALL.
Y. NJ. c. A. Team VIII Play the De-
Gliding Came of Seven.

There is much interest in the Savan-
nah-Charleston basket ball match at
the Y. NJ. C. A. gymnasium tonight.
The Savannah team is on its toes and
everything is in readiness for one of
the closest matches of the kind ever
played in this city. The Charleston
team Will arrive in the city about
noon, accompanied by many followers,
and will Immediately go to the local
Y. NJ. c. A. building, where they will
make their headquarters during their
stay. The team and the other visitors
will be the guests of the association
during the afternoon and will be
shown the city. The game will begin
at $50 o'clock.
The match will be particularly in
teresting because of the fact that the
teams have met six times and each has
won an equal number of games and
because of the additional fact that the
Savannah team has never lost a game
on it's own floor, and it is consequently
expected that it will win the odd game
and the leading position. Tickets are
On sale at the Y. M. c. A. rooms. A
lew reserved seats may yet be obtain
ed. The lineup of the teams are as
follows:
Savannah-Forwards w. T. Doty
(capt), and Ed Kessel; center. V.
Seyden; backs, L. F. Saverese and w.
Artley; or J, A. Courvoisier, who may
be substituted for any one of the pre-
ceding five. The Charleston team
will be as follows: Forwards. John P.
Thomas (capt), and r. M. Marshall;
center, P. X. Marshall; backs, M.
Henry and T. j. Banks; substitute,
Fillcox.

is anything but a gutter and stood the
gaffs without f1inching.
The result of each round was about
the same. In the fifth Tony adopted
rushing tactics, but gained nothing. In
the following round he was more care
full, but I-enny got in as much work
as he had done in the round before.
Mixed 1t Up in the Seventh.
In the seventh things were going
about the same when the mixup occur
red. Lenny was unquestionably the
winner. Then the boys got into a
clinch and Tony's head began working
like piston rod. Lenny felt the force
of the blows and his protest was
heard above the din. Moran had been
warned half a dozen times, but with
out avail. Jenkins then pulled the men
apart, and awarded the fight as stat
ed. Then the howl of disapproval went
up, but the decision stood, as it should
have. Moran stated when he left the
ring that he had not used his head and
that he did not use his teeth. The lat
ter statement is admitted, but scarce
ly anybody who was looking at the
fighters will say that Tony did not
butt, and butt hard. too.
Two Lively PreIiminaries.
There were two preliminaries and
both were highly entertaining. The
first was a six-round go between Joe
Clements, a husky looking boy with an
open face" and Kid Sullivan, who
wore green trunks. This bout was en-
tertaining because it was ludicrous in
the extreme. The boys know abso-
lutely nothing about the game, and
it was a case of ducks and lodges
1t was an exhibition of fun, fast and
furious The lads went at it hammer
and tongs until the last round, when
they became somewhat wild and wab-
bly,. They were both there with the
goods when the gong sounded, how
ever, and the first preliminary was de-
clared a draw.
The second preliminary, between Jol-
lie and Adams, came to a sudden halt
in the middle of the second round when
Adams declared that he would fight
Jollie on the outside. The men were
not evenly matched, and Jollie had
everything his own way. He has i'm
proved wonderfully and promises to
make a likely lad before he gets
through. He is scientific and knows a
great deal more than Adams about the
game. He played and fiddled during
the first round, and in the second
brought the claret from Adams nose.
A half minute later, when his blows
were landing oftener, and were increas-
ing in strength, Jolle had the satisfac-
ton of seeing Adams pull of the gloves
and announce that he was willing to
continue the fight on the outside.

C0RBETT AND JEFFRIES
ARE SIGNED TO FIGHT.
They Agree to Go Twenty Rounds
Mt San Francisco.

Baltimore, March 5.-James J. Cor
bett and BILLY" Delaney, the latter
representing James j. Jeffries, met
here tonight and signed articles for
fight for the heavyweight champion
ship of the world.
1t was agreed that the contest take
place in California in July or August,
1903, under the auspices of the athletic
club offering the largest purse The
men are to spar twenty rounds to a
decision, the winner to receive rs per
cent. of the purse, the loser to take
20 per cent. Bids are to be sent to
Harry Corbett, in San Francisco, ac-
companied by a certified check for
$4,000, duplicate bids to be sent to Tom
O'Rouke in New York.
Bids for the contest are to be OPEN
ed April l, 1903.
There was considerable talk between
Corbett and Delaney as to the sort of
bandages which the principals should
wear during the contest, but they final
ly got together and agreed to use only
the soft tape, which nearly all boxers
use.
The agreement, which is rather
lengthy, is signed by James j. Cor
bett and Billy" Delaney. The witt
nesses are Thomas Corbett and
Robert Deadly.

MORAN USED HIS HEAD
AND LENNY GOT DECISION

rising his head with all the vicious
ness of a ram goat, Tony Moran of
New York lost to Eddie Lenny of
philadelphia in the, seventh round of
what VS. to have been a twenty
round go before the Savannah Athletic
rlub at the new quarters in the Whit
field building last night.
Seemingly, Moran preferred losing on
foul rather than going to the mat
under one of the mighty swings or
lunches that the Philadelphia lad was
wont to administer. The crowd was
made up of Moran's friends and adj
rairers, and a mighty howl went up
when Shorty Jenkins stopped Moran's
butting exhibition and declared Lenny
the winner. 1t was an unpopular de-
cision, but Jenkins did the proper
thing.
No question could be raised but that
Ienny had by far the best of the en-
counter He was by big odds the
cleverer, and it was his fight in each
and every round. Moran, however, is
entitled to a great deal of credit for
the stubborn fight that he put up. The
use of his head, in a way not tolerated
under the rules of the game was the
only thing that marred his exhibition.
He was game and aggressive through
out, and waded into blows that would
have made a less plucky man quake,
or fall to his knees. His butting quail
ity, however, was palpable, and he
was warned before the decision was
ever given against him.
The New York Lads Tactics.
Still the New York lad who has put
UP so many game fights in Savannah,
and who is such a favorite here. per-
sisted in using his head in an improp-
er manner 1t was charged by some
that he used his teeth. bat there was
nothing to warrant this assertion. 1t
simply looked as if Moran realized
that he was certain to lose out. and
preferred to take the short end of the
purse on a foul: this conclusion des-
pite the fact that a majority of the
large number of the spectators eX-
pressed themselves as being of the
opinion that Moran had gotten the
worst of it from the referee. 1t had to
be admitted that Lenny was the fast
er and the more scientific. Moran, on
the other hand. did all OF the rushing.
Yet the Philadelphia fighter landed
three blows for one. There was plenty
of steam behind them, too. but Moran
