Hicks March Forecasts.

Disturbing causes reaching from the
last days of February and running into
the first few days of March will culmin-
ate in a regular storm period bringing
heavy rains. local floods, and fierce wind
from the north west. Reactionary storm
period central from 9Th to 9Th will bring
renewed storms, turning to snow. Warm
humid weather should put everybody on
the watch for these storms Another
regular storm period is due on the 18th,
making it's transit from west to east.
Severe lightning, thunder and hail will
visit many places to be foil owed by a
decidedly cold wave. Heavy snow block
AIDES will result in many parts of the
west A reactionary storm period is
central again 18th to 10Th, bringing cold,
raw weather generally, to the 22nd. A
regular storm period is central with the
new moon on the 24th. BY the 25th
phenomenal change to warmer will be
noted and general storm conditions will
move eastward with marked intensity
and violence, winding up with March
blizzard. A reactionary storm period
covers the last three days of the month.
March as whole will be rough and
stormy above the average. The outlook
is for heavy rains and snow, causing dan
gerous floods.

lob aCco Notes

Mr.. Albert Helmericks of st. Louis
was visitor in this market for short
time the latter part of the week.
A. Tellefson of Orfordville delivered to
the Hesgard warehouse last week five
acre crop that weighed in 1888 pounds of
leaf aud brought one of the best money
yields of the season.
Dealers in tobacco seed report that
their early sales were never so large as
this season, which is pretty sure indi-
cation that a big crop will be planted
the coming year. To be sure of getting
supply, growers who contemplate buy
ing should place their orders early.

Appleton tirm Gets the Library Job.

A meeting of the library board was
held Saturday evening when few minor
changes in the original plans for the new
library were authorized and the bid of
the Appleton Construction Co. was &C
cepted for the construction of the build
ing. The initial bid of this firm was
S9,648, but by taking out of their pro-
posal the heating, lighting and plumb
ing their offer was scaled down to 81, 1854,
and contract will be entered into at
these figures. Since Andrew Carnegie's
gift of $4,000 was accepted, another be-
quest of So 800 in cash has been made,
upon condition that the citizens of Ed
gerton raise an equal amount. The fund
had been subscribed up to $50 Satur-
day evening and with the assurance that
the balance could be secured, the board
have gone ahead on the theory that it
will have $1,000 at its disposal for the
erection and furnishing of the new IL
brary. This amount will assure a build
ing according to the original plans and
Edgerton will have modern, up to date
public library that will be credit to
our city. Work will be commenced as
soon as the weather will permit.

Rice in Lake KOshkOnOng.

GAINESVILLE sportsmen are planning to
purchase large supplies of wild rice seed
to plant in Lake Koshkonong during the
coming spring in hopes of again Undue
ing wild Aquatic fowl visiting there.
For many years Lake Koshkonong was
one of the best hunting places in the
southern portion of the state, but the
advent of the carp killed all the wild
rice and of late years the birds have de-
serted their old feeding ground. Within
the last two years thousands of tons of
carp have been taken from the lake and
members of the Carcajou and the Black
Hawk clubs, of which Milwaukee men
are members, are planning to again fill
the marshes with the wild rice.

The Open Shop. ............E. G. Dean
The Sympathetic Strike. go. L. E. Gettle
Music ................ Mems Chorus
Refreshments.
Mr.. Wright's paper was largely histor-
zeal, giving an interesting account of the
formation of the first trade guilds in
England and their objects, and later the
development of unions in this country.
Mr.. Dean took decided stand against
the open shop in his paper that followed,
and gave statistics showing the extent of
organized labor and it's influence upon
the industries Of the country.
Atty. Gettle stated that while legally
sympathetic strikes were unlawful, he
thought morally they were right. Rev.
Parr took issue with the speaker on this
point, the moral side of the question,
and an interesting running discussion
followed. About forty were present and
the evening passed very pleasantly.
