OLE ELLINGSON.

Ole Ellingson, another of the sturdy
pioneers OF Dane county, passed away &C
the home Of his daughter at Rockdale on
Saturday last. For nearly five years he
had been great sufferer from cancer
and few weeks ago when his wife was
taken from bim he felt that he was the
one that ought to have been called in
stead. The deceased was born at Sogen-
dial, Norway, Aug. 27, 1928. At the age
of Is he emigrated to America with his
parents, who we're among the first Scan
dinavian settlers on Koshkonong Prairie.
A homestead was taken mp on govern
ment land where he CO tin aed to reside
until "a very short time ago. He was
married in 1856 to Lucretia Stenjem, who
preceded him to the grave but few
short weeks. From the six children of
this union five have grown to manhood
and womanhood-th sons. Thos. A.,
Ed B. and Peter NJ, all residing in this
city, and two daughters, Mrs. j. e. Nor
gard of Rockdale, and Mrs. J. Notsetter
of Liberty Prairie:
Mr.. Ellingson was man of sterling in
tegrity, enjoying the highest esteem of
his neighbors. This was plainly evident
by the large attendance at the funeral
which was held from the East Koshko-
nong church on Tuesday last, conducted
by Rev. Holverson.

Obituary.
MRS. MARGARET WARREN.

Mrs Margaret Warren was born in
County Wexford, Ireland, April 81, 1918,
and died at her home in this city Janu-
! airy 25th, 1904, thus if her life had been
spared until April 9th she would have
been Sc years old. She came to America
in the autumn of 1849 and was married
to Thomas Warren, who still survives
her, October %, 1849, in New York city,
where they lived until 1854, when they
came to GAINESVILLE, Wis, where they re-
sided until the spring of 1861. They
then moved to MELVILLE where they made
their home until 1872, when they moved
to Edgerton, where they have since lived.
Living for 81 years in their present
home and the house on the corner of
Washington street they watched the
city of Edgerton grow.
Mrs Warren was the mother of six
children, two of whom. Mrs. May j.
Hammond and Mary Thwing preceded
her into the other world. The four chill
dren still living are Joseph Warren of
Beloit; Mrs. Thomas Driver of Milton:
Mrs. Maggie Hanson of Herman, Mimi,
and Atkin Warren of this city. There
are also living twenty grand children
and seven great grandchildren. In early
life Mrs Warren united with the Epis-
copal church which she attended when
had the opportunity, but since coming to
Edgerton she has attended the M E.
church as faithfully as her home duties
and health would permit. She was kind
hearted and very sympathetic, and while
she had the strength was constantly 60
ing to minister to those in trouble and
sickness. Many still living will remem-
Der her helpfulness in times of sickness
and the cheer of her presence in times of
trouble and the touch of her kind hand
in the time of bereavement But now
the Master has said it is enough, come
on high. The funeral will be held On
Thursday at 1880 at the home and IL a.
N. at the M. E. church, Rev. A. w.
Stephens officiating.

Continue Fishing For Carp.

''They are still after the carp" said Y
w. Wentworth "but they get them in a
rather different manner than that which
was used before the ice came. The fish

pond nets have been set. These are

who have taken up winter quarters on
the island. happened to be down the
river myself the other day when the nets
were raised. 1t was an average haul
and Melted them about ton of carp.
The most remarkable thing of all was
the fact that in, the entire catch there
were but four game fish; namely, two
bullheads and two rock bass

Hicks For February.

by the LIST storm areas will begin to
form over the western parts of the
country, marked depressions of the ba-
rometer will be moving eastward, and
wide areas Of rain and snow and sleet
will pass eastwardly across the country
during the 1st to the 4th. Ordinarily a
cold wave and blizzard would appear be-
fore the 4th, but the moon does not pass
the celestial equator until the 4th, hence
. the storms of this period may not reach
blizzardous proportions until after that
date. The Mercury disturbance contin-
ues up to about the 10th, hence cloudy,
murky, sleety weather will continue in
all probability into the reactionary per-
iod central on the 9th, 7th and 9Th. If
heavy snow and sieet storms do not ap-
pear during the first four days of the
month, such storms will almost certainly
develop about the 9Th to the 9th. But
the chances for marked winter storms
on and near the first day of the month
are many. Upon the whole, much threat
eDing weather, with severe winter storms
are almost certainties during the first
eight 70 ten days of February. or until

will prove one of the most general and
destructive sleet periods OF the winter,
and at least one severe cold wave may be
counted on. Two are quite probable,
one not far from the 1st, and another on
and about the 7th and 9Th.
The third storm period is central on
the 18th and reaches from the 10Th to
the 18th. Falling barometer and gen.
eral storms OF rain and snow will return
about the 14th, 18th and 10Th. The last
regular storm period for February is
central on the Oath, its disturbing influ-
ence reaching from the 22d to 9th The
first stages of this period, will bring

easterly, the barometer will fall, the n.y.
grometer will show increasing humidity
and more storms of rain, turning to snow
on the north side.
We take occasion to say again that the
last half of February annually is under
the growing influence of the Vernal
equinox, and for this reason alone threat
ening weather with spurts of rain. snow
and sleet are liable to appear any day.

Beware of Rural sw,ndlers.


Several school district boards in Rock
county have been recently caught by
swindling book agents, who through the
clever arrangement of words and the
successful use of the scissors have turned
agreements for the purchase OF books
into promisory notes. The joint district
of Plymouth and Center is one of the
districts involved, and notes signed by
Henry Phillips and w. Richards, direct
ors, have turned up for collection at q
GAINESVILLE bank. Mr.. Phillips claims
that the notes are part OF the agree
ment, with all the provisions cut off.
Reports are also coming in from teachers
who signed what purported to be appli.
cations for membership in teachers
union, but which in reality are notes for
small sums of money. Too much care
cannot be taken in signing contracts
with strangers.

Must Remain Two villages

The business men of Milton and Mil
ton junction have been holding meet
ings recently for the purpose of planning
for incorporation as a city. The two
towns, whose business centers lie about
mile apart and whose suburbs overlap,
would make city of about 1000 popula7
ton, and covering two square miles of
territory. The matter seemed to be NOV
ing to successful issue, but a recent
letter from Postmaster, General Payne
will probably kill city Incorporation. In
quiry was made of the postoffice depart
ment as to what would happen to the
two postofices in case the towns became
one city, and he replied that city could
have but one postoffice and would be en-
titled to sub station or free delivery
only in case the annual postal receipts
were $4,000 or more. AS one postoffice
could not serve the people of the two
towns the result will probably be two
Incorporated villages.
