A Joke on a Fellow Clerk Who

and a Happy Ending.

This story has several morals. Also, 1t
has three heroes, a heroine, an eccentric
philanthropist and a score at ~supernumer-
aries of too little importance to be mentioned
by name. The heroes are Mr.. Bunker,
Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Beverley; the heroine is
OF was, Miss Hosmer; the eccentric philan-
throplst is Mr.. Wortbng. So much for the
introduction; now for the story:
Bunker, Brown and Beverley work for
Mr.. Worthing. On January 8 last the three
young men held an important interview
with their employer.

Bunker.

"And your" to Brown.

Il know that said Bunker, 'but that
amt enough. We are worth more than
that. We want $780,"
"Too MUCH" said Worthing. still, I
do not wish to discourage you. You are
deserving young men and l like you. l do
not wish to leave you without hope. will

Then Bunker. Brown ard Beverley went
back to their desks and continued to work
for s25 n week. Usually they lunch to,

Obituary.
MRS. ANNIE HOLLINGWORTH.


Mrs. Annie Lillian Hollingworth, wife
of John Hollingworth, died May %, of
consumption, aged "a years. She leaves
a husband two small children, one three
years and one IA months, widowed
mother, two sisters, Mrs VIM Miller of
Edgerton, Wis, and Miss Blanche Spence
and two brothers, Bert and Henry
Spence, to mourn her loss. She was
born in the town of Porter, Rock Co.,
Wis, August "a, 1882 Came to Eye
land, North Dakota, Sept. 25, 1905, and
since that time has resided on the farm
Of VIM. Berenem. Mrs. Mary Spence,
mother of the deceased, came from Wis
consin about four weeks ago in hopes to
nurse her daughter back to health and
all that loving hands could do was done
to avail the suffering of the loved one,
but God had planned otherwise. She
was true christian woman, loved by all
who knew her. The sad news of her
death will be greatly felt by her many
friends in her former nome.-Egeland

Once again the people of Edgerton laid
aside their business cares, closed the
stores and offices to join with the old
veteran in paying their annual tribute to
their departed comrades. Despite the
threatening clouds of the early morning
the program of Memorial Day observ-
ance as scheduled in last weeks paper
was carried out. At one o'clock the Ell.
S. Swift Post and W. r. G. were escort
ed to Royal Hall where the exercises of
the DAY were held. Mayor Ladd pre-
sided for the literary and musical pro-
gram, followed by an address by Hon.
Pliny NOrcross, late state commander of
the G. A. E. Posts. There was some
thing especially fitting in having an old
soldier, one who had camped on the bat
tlefelds and was in the thickest of the
fray to make the address on this occa-
sion. There was something pathetic in
it all that touched the hearts of his lis
teners.

80 feet. The average width of the vein
on the three properties is given by Prof.

already on the dump taken from the

of assays have been made. These all

lead and zinc, with the latter FREEDOM
mating. The lead carries an average of
about six ounces of silver per ton, which
is expected to increase as the lower leads
are reached which is the history of all
the mines of New Mexico.
The general history of the district is
that as they follow down the veins the
percentage of zinc grows less while the
lead increases and the silver percentages
become larger. Thus with an unlimited
supply of ore right at hand on the sur
face, requiring but little expense for the
development of the mine, in district,
too, that is producing rich silver, gold
and copper properties, the possibilities
of this proposition are considered very
encouraging. More ore is there than
can be concentrated in a generation ana
the transportation facilities are believed
to be the only matter of concern.

NEW PASSENGER STATION.
The Milwaukee Road VIII Build In Edger-
ton This Season.

Everything comes to those who wait"
is saying again about to be realized.
The people of Edgerton have for years
cherished the opinion that they were en-
titled to better station accommodations.
They we're also certain that sooner or
later the railway officials would recog-
nlze that the business of the road at this
point would warrant the investment. We
have frequently beer told that Edger-
ton was on the slate for a new depot,
but the difficulty which the authorities
met with was to decide upon location
SO the freight and passenger business
might be separated and the new struc-
ture be devoted to a passenger station
solely. Surveys have frequently been
made but the many sidings required here
made the problem Of placing the freight
depot a matter of delays and confer
ences
few months ago the Advancement
Association took up the matter, causing
petition to be circulated among the
business men of Edgerton, urging the
railway officials to improve their depot
facilities. With but single exception
every business firm in the city joined in
the appeal and as result decision to
build at once has been arrived at.
The following letter addressed to the
Advancement Association, however, in
dictates that everything is now satisfac-
torily arranged and the new passenger
station is now only a question of few
months:
MILWAUKEE, May 23rd, 1906.
Mr.. HENRY JOHNSON,
Prest Edgerton Advancement Assn,
Edgerton, Wis.
DEAR SIR: l am very pleased to in
form you that the company has decided
to build passenger station in your city.
The general plans of the station have
not been decided upon, but you may rest
assured that the building will be very
substantial one that will be appreciated
by the people of your city. [ assume
that work will be begun on the building
sometime in the month of July It gives
me great pleasure to inform you in re-
gard to this matter as / feel that your
city is entitled to this improvement.
Yours truly,
2. G. ELDREDGE,
Superintendent.
