day evening Feb. 18th, from 3 until

The thaw was succeeded by another
cold wave, fresh from the northwest,
Sunday night, bringing a season OF zero
weather again. The temperature has
had the hardest kind of time trying to
get away from the zero mark this winter.
| "A decision has been rendered by
Judge Fifeld in the appeal case from
justice court of Goldthorpe VS.. Atwood
in which the judgment of the lower
plaintiff is sustained. The matter in
volved was the collection of some thresh-
ing bills.
Large shipments of sheep have gone
out of the feeding station this week,
some of them choice lots that have been
under full feed for couple of months
or more Messrs Alexander and Abel,
Montana sheep men, forwarded several
car loads Sunday night and struck a
high point in the market. Some choice
yearlings owned by Alexander brought
better than S.. John Hurd shipped out
600 head Tuesday night, fed on his Full
ton farm this season, due to bring top
prices.
The Earle Doty company will be at
Royal hall three nights this week, CON-
mencing Thursday evening. Mr.. Doty
has appeared before an Edgerton audi
ence in former years and consequently
needs no recommendation from this
paper. He is now supported by strong
company in three of the most popular
plays, "A Daughter of the South" the
Iron Mask" and Faust" There is no
question but what the entertainments
are all good and for this reason liberal
patronage should be accorded them.
The hall will be kept warm and your
Ecomforts will be looked after by mem
bers of the Cornet band who are the
managers.
With things political stirring the
state from end to end and side to side,
let US be mindful that municipal cleo
ton in this city is just trif1e more than
month away. The selection of candi-
dates for the various offices will be first
in line and this is the opportune time to
discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of who should
or should not be placed in nomination.
In all proba bility some of the present
city officials will refuse to stand for re-
nomination and their places will neces-
sarily have to be supplied, and this
should be the first move to get posted
on. Where satisfaction has been given
and the officers proven themselves COM
petent it is wise to urge them to the ut
termost to accept another term. AS
rule there is no question but what
continuance of an official in municipal
Office is beneficial to the welfare of the
tax payer and resident. 1t takes time to
get posted and familiarize ones self with
the ms and outs of city government, and
consequently the more schooling, the
more efficient the officer should be.
Holding city Office is thankless task
to say the least and in selecting men to
fill these positions, ability and good bus
mess Judgment should be the first re-
quirement, for by placing competent
men in charge the opportunity of fault
finding of their acts is reduced to min
imum, the burden of the office is lessen
ed and good government assured. Elec-
ton this year takes place on the 9Th day
of April, consequently the time for nom
nations are near at hand. Let every
voter give the matter personal attention,
reason with yourself and your neighbors,
then when the nominations are made,
election will pass by without friction and
satisfaction to all will be the result.
Next Sunday morning at the Con
gregational church collection will be

will take for prelude: "The Work and
Worth of Missionary Efforts" The
topic of the sermon will be: 'The
Peace Which Passeth Understanding"
The following is the program for the
ovorinr Sorvioo.
