Chairman Lowry and Health OficeE
HAmliA Wide Awake.

Although no Tallahasseean has ever
feared an epidemic of yellow fever or
any other disease in this incompatible

Gals in the interest of the public health

fined for noncompliance with this order.

More Storm Damage.

Another heavy storm passed over this
section Sunday evening that in localities
was accompanied by severe electrical
disturbances and high wind of cyclonic
character. In a narrow track of the
storm across Albion Prairie considerable
damage was done farm property. On
the Julius jacobson place new barn
just completed was torn from it's founda-
ton and crushed. At Henry Wileman's
tobacco shed was blown down and the
flying timbers sent crashing through the
side of his residence. Nearly all the
windows on one side of the house were
broken. At P. N. Johnson's, Lein's and
several other farms tobacco sheds and
buildings were moved from their found
atoms and broken Or Frustrated. At
Stoughton lightning struck the Mandt
wagon works and the city hall but with
slight damage. Lightning struck Milton
high school belfry during the storm and
did damage amounting to 500. A horse
in the barn of P. Traynor was killed and
Graham Lay, man who was at work
with the milking, was thrown TO the floor
unconscious. Though he will recover,
his body is said to have turned black. A
number Of trees were blown down in
that locality and some of the crops and
small buildings suffered.

Want Dam Destroyed.

An effort is being made by farmers
whose farms border on Lake Koshkonong
to have the dam at Indian Ford taken
out. The heavy rain of late has caused
the lake to rise to such an extent that
hundreds of acres are under water, and
the dams that have gone out farther up
the river have caused considerable dam
age. One farmer said he did not have
pasture enough to feed his cattle, and
that be had to go after his sheep in a
boat to bring them in on the high
ground. We understand petition has
been circulated and signed. Very near
ly all the farmers in that particular COM
munity are asking the governor to take
some action in the matter. Some farm
ers have as high as 80 acres under water
which has not been cultivated for the
past four years. and still the taxes are as
high on the flooded parts as the cult
waited land, and this the farmers claim is
not right. A number of land owners
went to Madison Tuesday to investigate
the matter and see what can be DONE.

Congregational Church Improvement.
Plans for remodeling the Congrega-
tional church were presented at a meet
ing of the society Monday evening, when
the ways and means of accomplishing
the improvement were discussed and
some definite action taken towards start
ing the work Immediately. The propo-
sition is to raise the present church
structure about five feet to provide for a
Sunday school room and kitchen in the
basement, as we'll as the heating plant
1t is estimated that the cost will reach
about $780, of which amount the La
dies Society have pledged $500 and the
balance to be raised by subscription. A
building committee was selected consist
ing of Geo. Hargraves, B. G. Wilson,
Mrs. E. @. Hopkins, Robt. Attlesey and
Andrew Mcintosh who are to have
charge of carrying out the proposed i'm
provements. The design is to have the
work commenced at once and the repairs
completed if possible by the time Rev.
Parr returns from his vacation to Eu-
rope. At the meeting Monday evening
large attendance was present, har-
monious spirit prevailed the discussion,
at the close of which light refreshments
were served by the Ladies Society.

Successful League Convention.

Edgerton's hospitality was put to a
test to provide entertainment for the
delegates to the GAINESVILLE District Ep-
worth League convention in session here
from Friday to Sunday evening. The
attendance was one of the largest in the
history of these gatherings, about 140
being present, and the proceedings full
of interest to the close.
The district officers diverted from the
usual custom of having papers and es-
says and procured for this meeting some
of the strongest speakers-Dr. Robert
Forbes, Philadelphia; DR.. Sheets, Chi
cago; DIR. James Mcdonald, Chicago;
Deaconess Evangeline CRUDE, Miiwau-
kee; Rev. M. L. Eversz, WATERFOWL.
Reports were received from twenty.
four chapters, showing all the work in a
healthy condition. On Saturday the
following officers were elected for the
ensuing year for the district:
Pres. Rev. NJ L. Eversz, Watertown.
LIST Y. P.-Miss Hazel North.
I'd '. P.-Miss Alice MILAN, Milton.
Sd V. P.-Miss Maud Scott, Sharon.
4th Y. P. Miss Lille Taylor.
Sec.-Miss Eberly.
Treas.-Arthur Roadhouse Beloit
Junior Supt.-Miss Mae Turner, Bow
ers.
The lecture Saturday evening by DR..
Forbes was one of uplifting interest and
mindful suggestions He brought out
the old-time standards of truth, integrity
and religion and thereby determined a
mans worth. These are things that are
unreasonable but their possession gives
the man value all his own. They are
the mainsprings of actions and deeds
which live on, as blessing to those who
follow, after the worker has gone to his
reward Not by the total of dollars and
cents man may possess can we Judge
chow much he is WORTH" but by the
good he has done. The former he must
leave behind but his noble deeds will be
gems in his crown in glory.
The open-air meeting Sunday evening
was abandoned on account of the bad
weather, but the address of DR.. Melon
aid was a strong appeal for Christian
work. The delegates expressed them
selves more than pleased at the cordial
| reception given them by the Edgerton
chapter and committees having their en-
tertalnment in charge.

Warm Race Meeting.

The initial matinee given by the Ed
gerton Driving Club Wednesday after
noon proved one of the most interesting
track events ever given in this city. The
and some very fast half miles were made
in some holly contested races. Close to
thousand people witnessed the three
events booked and singular as it may
seem the winners of each class we're
horses that had been developed on this
track by j. M. Conway's stables. Some
surprises were in store for the sure
sportsmen in the free for all event. The
talent had picked Joe COINS Col Diston
to win as he had tried conclusions with
the same field of horses at Deerfeld a
few weeks ago and was able to capture
the prize, but Ruth Conway was at her
best and every heat warmly contested,
the bay mare driven by Chas. Carmen
came under the wire first each time.
The last heat was one Of the fastest ever
made on the track. In the first heat of
the 2:40 class, Tommy H., driven by
Thos. Haight, fell at the first quarter
and practically put him out of the race.
Postmaster .. F. Nowlan of GAINESVILLE,
acted as starter of the races and the rul-
ings of the judges gave very general sat
isfaction. Madison, Deerfeld, Cam
bridge, Stoughton, Evansville and James
vile contributed good sized delegations
and the verdict of nearly everyone was
that Edgerton had made good in putting
up first class race meeting. The sum
mary of the events is as follows:
