Reckless driving resulted in the run
ming down and iniuring of Miss Wini-
fred Coon at the Catholic church cross
ing Saturday evening shortly before the
opening of the band concert. The young
lady had just left her home and was
fairly on the crossing when two teams,
whose drivers were racing their horses.
came furiously down the street from the
north. They came upon her so quickly
that she had no time to reach the oppo-
site side nor did the drivers show any
disposition to control their teams. She
was struck by the racing horse and
thrown some distance into the street and
trampled upon by the horses feet and
run over by the vehicle. Several per-
sons who were near the scene and saw
the accident quickly came to her assist
ance and she was carried to her home in
an unconscious condition. A physician
was summoned and an examination of
her injuries made. Fortunately no
bones were found broken. but her shout
der and ankle were severely sprained and
sustained number of cuts and bruises
that are likely to keep her in doors for
several days, and tine shock may last her
some time to come. The parties en-
gagged in this diversion of running horses
are known. Wednesday afternoon Mar
tinus Hanson and Carl Duxstad, two
Norwegian farm hands living on Albion
Prairie, who were identified as being the
parties, were brought into Justice
Smiths court upon a warrant charging
them with violation of the city ordinance
against immoderate driving. The boys
were unable to talk much English but
admitted they were racing their horses.
The judge held the matter over until
next Tuesday, when they are expected to
either plead guilty and accept stiff fine
or stand trial. There is too much careless
driving going on in our city at night
which the authorities will be called upon
to curtail and it is high lime an example
is made of those who are guilty of such
recklessneSs.

For number of years the people of
Fulton have been entertained by some
of the best talent in the lecture course
business. And this is something rarely
said of places the size of Fulton village.

ment has selected four entertainments,
any one of which ought to be worth the
price of season ticket. The dates are

been drawing card in the way of Sat
urday evening entertainments and the
work Of the band boys should be appre-
ciated by all. Then why not patronize
"In the Heart of Kentucky" show Fri

lift toward buying new uniforms?
-"In the Heart of Kentucky" will be
presented at Royal hall Friday evening
Sept. %. The performance is given fo1
the benefit Of the Edgerton Cornet band
and the proceeds will be used in the pur.
chase of new uniforms. The play was
given on the night of the 7. A. & B. pic
mic and was pronounced success by
those present. We have one Of the best
bands in southern Wisconsin. That's a
fact! The band needs new uniforms
That's another fact! Every citizen in

HARDWARE MEN REPORT A

MANY ARE PLACING ORDERS

Hardware men report a big drop
in the price of glass within the past
month, and all grades are selling for
from Is to % percent cheaper than
they did last fall.
The price of glass has been going
down steadily for several weeks, and
it is thought that is has now reached
its lowest point. Many contractors
and greenhouse owners and others
who have use for great deal of glass
are now placing their orderh in order
to take advantage of the low prices.
The drop does not apply particu-
larly to plate glass, but to "blown"
glass, of single and double strength,
like that used in ordinary windows.
The winter demand has been small,
and that has caused the drop in price.

Chicago, February IA fair de-
mand by commission houses created
a steady wheat market here, despite
a moderate decline in prices at Liver
pool. Reports from the winter wheat
belt of the United States were that in
many localities where the tempera-
ture was severe the ground was al
most bare of snow. Fears of damage
to the unprotected crop was the chief
reason for buying. May opened a
shade lower and sold up to S514c.
Corn Receipts Smaller.
The corn market was firm on an in
creased shipping demand and receipts
which were somewhat below the esti-
mated amount. May opened unchang-
ed to a shade higher, and sold up to
1850.
There was little business in oats,
and the market was dull and steady.
Active buying by shorts caused a
strong provision market.

New York, February 14.-Aside
from a few prominent features, the
dealings at the opening of the stock
market were small and the movement
of prices sluggish in either direction,
with declines, predominating. Rea-

1167s last night, and Anaconda ran
off 61a on varying quotations.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS
Six Twenty High Price For Hogs
Bulk of Supply Sold for $50
to S6.15-Fair Average
Cattle.

Indianapolis, February Ire
ceipts, 5000 hogs, 1,500 cattle and
100 sheep against 9,542 hogs, 1,S42
cattle and 333 sheep a week ago, and
1914 hogs, 1911 cattle and 81 sheep
year ago.
Small receipts and a strong de-
mand were factors that contributed
to another active hog market at
good advance in prices. Competition
was strong from outside sources. and
trading was active at a general adj
vance of Zoe. Local packers were slow
but finally were free buyers and paid
the top price. The range was from
%6.05M6.20. and the bulk of the sup
plies sold at $G.1006.15. The top was
the highest since the beginning of
last September, over 81 higher than
the close of last November and $1.05
higher than year ago.
Fair Cattle Receipts.
Although there was not a liberal
supply of cattle receipts were a fair
average for this time in the week. ALI
kinds were represented and there
were more good heavy steers than
heretofore this week. There was an
active demand for female butcher
cattle as well as for the good to
choice light steers at steady prices.
The market for the heavier grades
Of cattle and especially those that
were little palmer in quality Or fat,
was quiet but steady. There was a
steady local demand for feeding cat
tie, but little inquiry from the coun-
try. Bulls were steady, good calves
steady, but others lower.
Sheep Supply Small.
Sheep and lamb supplies were too
small to establish new prices for all
kinds. Most of the offerings were
lambs, and they sold promptly at
steady prices compared with yester-
day. A much larger supply could
have been sold on the same basis.
Most of the best lambs sold at 1925,
and culls to good kinds, $4,000. 90.
The best sheep sell as high as $500
and culls as low as $4,000.

PRESIDENT CHANGES CABINET
Straus' Appointment Comes AS
Surprise.

Washington, d. c., Especially 1.-THE
President announced Tuesday even
ing the following changes in his
Cabinet:
Postmaster General Cortelyou will
succeed Mr.. Shaw as secretary of the
Treasury.
Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte
will succeed Mr.. Moody as attorney
general.
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Metcalf will succeed Mr. Bonaparte
as secretary of the Navy.
Ambassador to Russia George V.
l.. Meyer will succeed Mr.. Cortelyou
as postmaster general
Mr.. Oscar S. Straus, of New York;
will succeed Mr., Metcalf as secretary
of commerce and labor.
1t was said informally at the White
House that Attorney General Moody
would retire on January /, 1907, and
Secretary Shaw on March, a, 1907.
Most of the changes will take place,
therefore. at the beginning OF the
new year.
A successor to Mr.. Meyer as am
bassador to Russia has not as yet

that Mr.. Lloyd C. Griscom, who was
recently transferred from Japan to
Brazil, will go to St Petersburg, and
that Mr.. John Barrett, now minister
to Colombia, will succeed Mr.. Girls
com as ambassador to Brazil unless
the President decides to place him
at the head of the Bureau of Amer
ican Republican Republics.
appointment of Straus.
OF the Cabinet changes only one,
that of Mr.. Straus to become Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor, is news.
All the other changes have been re-
told in dispatches frequently. That
Mr. Bonaparte would eventually be-
come Attorney General was authori-
tatively announced in Washington
when he was appointed Secretary of
the Navy, for it has always been Mr..
Roosevelt's desire to have Mr.. Bona
parte at the head of the Department
of Justice. Mr.. Metcalfe's transfer
to the Navy Department finally full
fills a hope that Mr.. Metcalf has
cherished ever since he entered the
Cabinet. The execution of the pro-
visions of the Chinese exclusion law
falls under the Department of Com
merce and Labor, and as Mr.. Net
calf is a Californian and represented
a California district in the House Of
Representatives for many terms, the
recent attitude of the administration
in favor of the most liberal possible
Interpretation of the exclusion law
has made Mr.. Metcalf's position ex-
tremely embarrassing. and 1t is, in
deed, believed that If this present
change in the Cabinet had not in
cluded his transfer from his present
position to the Navy he would have
resigned before long.
