Progress of the
Dredge Everglades

Fort Lauderdale. Fla, July Goth, 1906.
Hon. j. E. Wolfe,
Tallahassee, Fla.
Dear Sir:-Reporting further upon the work
here, Will say, that the Everglades" is still doing
good work. She is as near as we are able to esti-
mate moving about fifteen hundred yards per day.
The quality Of the stuff that she Is handling Is
about equal parts muck sand and rock, and
might add here that she handles the rock about as
easy as she does the sand and muck.
We meet with few delays, and the machinery
seems to run more smoothly each day. I have
had considerable trouble selecting men that are
satisfactory to operate her. The Runner that
was sent here from Chicago is all right, but the
other men seem to be very slow to "catch on" to
the ways OF operation. May suggest that You
talk to Capt Rose and ask If he cannot secure
one or two good experienced men in or near
kissimmee, who have had experience handling
tnls kind OF a dredge.
We have the bottom all on the Okeechobee, and
nave started the calking, and the building up OF
the sides, ends and bulkheads In general all Of
the work Is progressing very nicely
Inc weather has at last settled, and the water
suoslding very rapidly. Will make further report
tomorrow Truly yours,
REED w. BRYAN, Agent.

Obituary..


The funeral of Gladys Margaret Short,
who died at the home of her mother,
Mrs. Arthur Short, Sunday morning,
December g. after a brief illness, was
held in the Methodist Episcopal church,
of which she was member, Tuesday,
December at 2 p. No., her pastor, Rev.
F. G. Richardson officiating. The host
of sympathizing friends together with
the profusion of floral tributes were ex-
pressions of the large place she had won
in the hearts of those who knew her.
She was born on Xmas day, 1889, on
the same farm where her father was in
the town of Albion. When about five
years of age her parents moved onto the
place known as the John Son farm.
Here the family resided until the spring
of 1904, when bereft of the father they
moved into Edgerton whore the fuller
privileges of church and school might be
enjoyed. She was student in the high
school and member of the freshman
class. In honor of her memory and as
tribute to her the school was closed
and attended 10 body. Gladys was a
christian girl, having united with the
above mentioned church at the age of
IA. She was active and useful in all de-
partments of church-in the choir, an
usher, in Sunday school and secretary of
the Epworth League. The supremest
loss of course is in the home, and the
family is assured the sincere sympathy
the entire community. She was a
bright. happy, sprightly, consecrated
christian girl and in her going has left
the choice heritage of the influence of
beautiful life. Her pastor spoke from
the words, BLESSED are the pure in
heart for they shall see God"

Tobacco Notes

The first acre of 1906 tobacco to be de-
lvered in this market was brought to E.
M. Hubbell Wednesday last by Milo
Bliven and brought him check of

looking after his extensive tobacco bust
ness in the state.

weeks to New York and other eastern
tobacco markets.

Holiday Season at Hand.

houuay season at manu-.
Present buying for the holidays has
commenced in good earnest and every
merchant in town has a large portion of
his stock for this occasion unlocked and
on the counters. The assortment is
probably larger and finer this year than
ever and being sold at prices that will
warrant continuance of sales until the
last Christmas shopper is supplied. 1t
is an undisputed saying that Edgerton
is the best town for holiday purchases
in southern Wisconsin, and the fact that
large numbers come here yearly from
nearby cities and villages bears out the
statement. Merchants here have the
goods, they make the prices right and it
is now up to the buyer to make early
selections.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube IS infam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infaned condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrhl
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

Knew What His Name Was.

A conductor whose first name was
Dennis was suspected of not turn
ing in all the money paid him for
transportation, and man from the
office was detailed to watch him for
a trip or two. Whether from for
getfulness or rush of business, the
nickel paid by the company's man
was not rung up. That was all the
evidence needed, so the inspector
arose to get off the car. Passing
through the door, he rendered the
conductor a fare.
"Why," exclaimed that individ-
ual, "sure an you paid me onct."
II know" assented the inspector,
"but this nickel is for the company.
Pm an Inspector" And Dennis
knew what his name was.

curran and the TaiIors.

Curran, the famous orator and
wit, never hesitated to sacrifice his
friends for the sake of a joke. On
one occasion the Merchant Tailors'
guild of Dublin gave banquet, to
which he was invited-in fact, he
was the guest OF honor. He kept
his hosts amused all evening. There
were just eighteen of his entertain
ers, and when Curran took his leave
he waited till he reached the door,
then with smile and a bow said,
"And now, gentlemen, have the
honor of saying good night to both
of you" He made his escape before
the eighteen tailors realized the
joke, and then it was too late to
catch him.

a Chinese statute enacts that

Years eve cannot subsequently be
recovered; but, according to recog-
nized usage, a creditor who has
vainly pursued a debtor all through
the night may still follow him after
daybreak, provided he continues to
carry his lighted lantern, as if he
believed it was still night. This,
however, is the creditors last
chance.

Glass.

According to Pliny, the discovery
of glassmaking was purely acct
dental. He tells US that two mer-
chants were carrying a quantity of
inter over a desolate tract of coun-
try and at length paused upon the
banks of a river to rest. Wishing
to partake of some food, they built
a fire, and, not finding any stones
on which to place their kettles, they
put them on some pieces of inter.
The heat from the fires melted the
inter, which mixed with the sand
and formed a transparent matter,
which was glass.
