The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1905-07-21

creamery Wednesday where he had been
with two travelling men, and when near
the Heddles lumber Office the tongue of
the surrey broke, letting the rig slide
onto the horses. They started to run
and opposite the depot the broken end
of the tongue dropped and caught on
the rail of the track, throwing the surrey
in mid air, the horses going on up Main
street and turning to Randolph street
were stopped near Andrew Jenson's. Mr..
Spike sustained two broken ribs and was
badly bruised about the back The
travelling men escaped with slight in
juries.
The first consignment of pipe for
completing the water main system in
the city arrived Wednesday. This con-
sisted of one car load and it is for Swift
street where the work will be commence
ed under the supervision of Supt. Nor
rissey. Bonds to the extent of six thous-
and dollars will soon be issued and the
money from their sale expended in lay
ing mains along the streets where takers
enough can be secured to make the in
vestment safe one for the city. The
balance of the pipe will be shipped as
needed and the work of laying will be
continued as fast as possible. When
completed the greater portion Of the res
idence districts will have access to water
and fire protection.
AT a meeting of the school board
Monday evening contracts, were signed
for the employment OF two more teach
ers for the ensuing year. This completes
the corps with the exception of the 9Th
grade, which is yet to be supplied. The
problem of securing teachers this year
has been more complex than usual. In
some cases where the board thought the
position filled, they found the teacher
begging off and wisely let them 60 Fol
lowing is the list of teachers as far as
completed: E. L. Roethe, principal;
Frank jerks, 1st asst; Grace P. Spauld-
ing, End asst; Lillian E. Richards, 3rd
asst; Leora B. Fryette, 4th asst; Ger
trude Musgrove, 9Th grade; Emma Whit
more, 7th; Alma Livick, 9Th; Ida Oliver,

The weather the past few days has
been hot! That's what the thermome-
tiers indicated, and great many people
read them understandingly and believed
what they read. Some like the hot
weather and others like it not. Those
who missed the opportunity to kick a
few days ago when the wet was in the
majority can now register few good
ones against the heat. Of course there
are some who rallied at the wet and will
do so at the dry and hot. That's one
phase of human nature which even the
Creator was unable to regulate. But
the weather will jog along just the same
as it has been jogging for centuries and
we will be supplied with the mixture in
proportions suitable to warrant seed
time and harvest with perfect regularity.
There is one redeeming feature about
all kinds of weather, it furnishes a sea-
sonable topic for discussion, in which
the Oldest as we'll as the youngest in
habitant may take turn. Skill, cour-
age and resourcefulness cut no ice in
discussing weather problems and the
one who possesses the greatest ability to
wag the tongue usually scores the larg-
est number of points. Members of the
Nail Keg club of Fulton can express
themselves as intelligently upon this
mooted topic as New York's Four Hun
dred, and even in Edgerton there are
few wise ones who would not get the
flag in open debate. The heavy rains
the past few weeks caused the water in
Rock river to rise to such height as to
make fishing at Indian Ford unprofit-
able. This caused the old fishermen to
kick. Up at Koshkonong the land Dor
dering on the lake was overfowed and
the farmer registered few vehement
ones. In Evansville water is always OBJ
jectionable and this hot, dry weather
propogates a thirst which requires bar
rels OF Milwaukee brew to quench and
they are kicking because they can't
get enough of the quencher. So it is,
has been and will be! In every quarter
OF this, the most delightful country ever
known by those who have visited no
other, you will find persons ready to rail
the ruler and controller of the weather.
There are less of this kind in Edgerton
than elsewhere, so says one who has Civ
en- the subject great deal OF careful
thought and attention. When it is hot |
they don't say one to another in a sar-
castle tone, lis it hot enough for your"
