worked their way up and up. And here
they lived until the weight of years be-
gun to be felt, when they removed back
to Milton, where many seem to like to
return and live during the declining
years of life.
Mr.. Pierce filled with ability and in
tegrity many offices of honor and trust.
He was an active and influential mem
Der of each successive S. D. B. church
organized in the town. He was elected
Justice of the peace for more .han a
score of years: assessor and chairman of
the town board. He was general agent
OF the Harmony Insurance Co. for many
years, .He4was the last, save one, living,
OF Goodrich's pioneer family of thirteen.
Mr.. Pierce came to Milton before the
state the county or the town was organ
lied or a road laid out. He saw the first
schoolhouse built, and the first church,
academy and college erected. He was
here when the first person was married
the first white child was born, the first
white person died, the first funeral held
or the first white person buried in Mil
ton. He was here when the first mail
route was run, the first postoffice estab-
lished, the first stage line equipped, the
first railroad built. and the first tele-
graph wire strung. He helped plat the
public square while the land still be-
longed to the government. He saw the
trees set and grow up into beautiful
park, all covered ard alive for many
years, with hundreds of merry and hap
Ply children and youth, who were born
and grew up since he was here. Few
men ever lived to see such marvellous
changes made in town and county and
state.

More Toll Connections.

The Edgerton Telephone Co. has
closed business arrangement this week
whereby it will take over the business of
the Wisconsin Telephone Co. and here
after handle all long distance talks COM
ing in or out of this city. The local ex-
change, which has new and p.to-date
equipment, will be in position to give its
patrons not only it's present connections
with independent lines in this section of
the state but with ali the other parts
reached by the long distance lines of the
Wisconsin or Bell companies putting
them in direct communication with
every city of Importance either in or out
Of the state. Such service is better than
the Bell or independents could give in
dividually and we believe will be appre-
ciated by telephone users. AS soon as
connections can be made with the local
company's switchboard the Wisconsin
office here will be closed and 300 patrons
of the Edgerton con pany can talk to
long distance points from their own
homes without any of the inconvenience
heretofore experienced. The Edgerton
company has invested large amount of
money in this enterprise and is deter
mined to give its subscribers the very
best service possible and the additional
toll connections will go a long way to-
wards accomplishing that result.

Growing Sugar Beets.

An employee Of the GAINESVILLE Beet
Sugar factory in letter to the Sharon
farmers, explains that the average yield
of beets to the acre is about fourteen
tons, although some growers receive as
high as twenty nine tons. The price on
cars is 81 so per ton, but frequently the
higher percentage of sugar raises the
price as high as $3.50. The main expense
in growing beets is the labor, for it re-
quires lots of backbone and endurance
to properly care for field OF beets so as
to get the best results, and that is the
main reason why farmers are so back
ward in undertaking to cultivate them.

Accidentally Shot.

Evan Sayre, the II yesr old son of
JAS. Sayre of Fulton, met with an acct
dent Wednesday morning which came
near ending his life. With a % calibre
rifle he was out in the yard shooting
sparrows and in some manner stumbled,
discharging the gun. The ball struck
just above the left eye and plowed along
under the scalp about two inches. DR..
McManus was Immediately summoned
and made all possible haste to the Sayre
home. Upon probing the wound he dis
covered portion of the bullet and ex-
tracted it. the operation causing the boy
but very little suffering and at no time
was he unconscious. In the evening the
DR.. again visited the patient and upon
more thorough examination found that
the skull had been pierced, leaving hole
about an inch long and one-half inch
wide. The dressing of this was a very
delicate operation, but after it had been
performed the little patient seemed to
have suffered but very little and rested
as easily as could be expected under the
circumstances. 1t is now thought that
the boy will speedily recover from the
injury and that no bad results will follow.

YOUNG MAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.

While Riding in a Carriage With
Young Woman Companion.
A case which seems clouded in nys-
terry came partially to light last night.
Those who know any of the facts in
the case either claimed to know moth
ing about it; were away, or refused to
discuss the matter The facts which
could be learned We're as follows: On
Sunday afternoon early a young man,
which rumor has is either a prominent
Yale student or a we'll known young
local man, went to a local hotel
for dinner. While eating he was join
ed by young lady, and after the meal
had been finished the young man went
to the hotel office and ordered car
riage from ,McDonalds stable on Court
street.
When the carriage reached the hotel
the couple entered 1t and were driven
away, in which direction could not be
learned last night as the driver, whose
name is Corners, could not be found
at the stables, and the rest of the en-
ployes claimed to know nothing about
it.
It is stated that while the carriage
was being driven along and after it had
gone some little distance the young
man swallowed quite quantity of poi
son. The cries of the girl was the first
intimation the driver had as to what
had taken place in his carriage and as
soon as he did learn he drove as fast
as possible to the New Haven hospital,
where the young man was given atterl-
ton. .|
The hospital authorities seem some
what hazy as to this particular case
and it was stated at that institution
last night that such case had been
brought there, but that the young man
seemed to be all right after receiving a
little attention and that he then left
the institution again shortly afterwards
in the carriage. They did not, they say,
take either his name or address, nor
was any of the facts in the matter re-
ported to the police, as near as could be
learned. Where the young man and
woman went after leaving the hospital
could not be learned either .
Early this morning it was stated that
the young man was a student by the
name of Spalding.

81 900 to be divided among the motor
men and conductors making the Dest
record for efficiency and ali AROUND
good service for the year. The year
has now about expired, terminating
next Wednesday, and the award would
be made as soon thereafter as the rec
ords could be written up.
Mr.. Punderford further stated that
the company proposed to offer similar
reward for like service the coming
year.
The trolleymen report that the inter
view with Mr.. Punderford was a thor
oughly amicable one. They presented
the claim that the service had grown
more arduous, owing to the increased
traffic, and that the increase was ask
ed chiefly on this ground.
The committee representing the Troi-
leymens union were President BSsEe
and Messrs. Jordan, Lynch, Minnix,
Butler, Wrinn "a son of Chief Wrinn)
and the two Messrs. White and one
other.
The matter has been taken under ad-
visement, and it will be several days,
probably, before anything definite will
be known in the matter.
The-indications are that the trolley
company will refuse the demand as ex-
orbitant. The matter will go to the
higher powers of the company.

HEBREW BAKERS S1IaIHi.s. L.
Rioting ON New YOrk's East Side
Leaders VIII Extend Trouble,

New York, Aug. 7.-Rioting among
the striking Hebrew bakers ON the low
@r east side throughout the day kept
the police busy and compelled them to
use their clubs freely. Most of the col
lisons between the police and the
strikers grew out of the efforts on the
part of the latter to induce non-union
men to join them. No persons were Sc
riously hurt and there were but few ar
rests.
1t is estimated tonight that upwards
of a thousand men are on strike in
Manhattan, and the leaders express
their intention of closing every "ko-
sher' bakery in the borough tomorrow
and extending the strike to the Hebrew
quarters of Brooklyn.
The strikers received many accessions
to their ranks during the day, the most
important being Local 3G5, of Harlem,
which has a membership of 300 The
strike gave Hebrew bakeries in Harlem
and Hoboken an opportunity to RAISE
the price of two-pound loaves from five
to ten cents, and even at this rate "ko-
sher'' bread was with difficulty obtain
ed by the Orthodox Hebrews on the
east side. <slgzi fF7 -.*y> ...,t@

TROLLEYMEN CONFER

the company had made during the
year. The principal items in this res
spect are the building of a new car
barn, (which, it is learned, cost $685.
900; the building Of an addition to the
power plant at an outlay of $4,000;
the purchase of many new big double
truck cars, costing 100000; the vesti-
buling of the old open front cars at a
cost of many thousands of dollars, to
say nothing of present additions to the
car shops. In all over half a million
dollars have been spent by the com
pany in the past year for the improve
ment of the road and the service to
the public, while many new extra men
had been employed.
In addition to this the company has
arranged to expend several hundred
thousand dollars in the coming twelve
months in double tracking and other
important work.
Mr.. Punderford, speaking further,
called attention to the defects in the
service being rendered by some of the
motormen and conductors Accidents
had been frequent, some of which had
been quite expensive, and frequently
conductors had failed to get in their ac-
cident reports, properly witnessed, or
failed to get them in promptly; the
company had also had many complaints
Of incivility to passengers. Letters
were being received almost daily of
cases of incivility to passengers, or of
passengers being given short change;
also of conductors carelessly punching
transfers, and thus making trouble for
the company and passengers.
Manager Punderford, it is learned,
further stated that it was the desire Of
the company to secure men satisfactory
to the public as well as to the man
agement. Mr.. Punderford further call
ed attention to the fact that the com
pany last August offered a reward of
