of a very distinct and luminous cross
radiated from the center of the orb, ex-

with the horizon and the other one
perpendicular to it. Besides the cross
athere was on either side of the moon

colors resembling somewhat a section of

some who have seen something similar,

last week a couple of days. He was
returning to his home at Hannah from
a trip to Duluth and st. Paul. where he
spent some time arranging plans for an
active campaign in the spring for
"boosting" the cheap lands of the Cana

of the line. Mr.. Hines will be remem-
bered by early residents here as having
gained fame and renown as tho leading
promoter of the proposed Farmers rail

to Duluth. Although the road never

doubt add materially To the success Of

Albion to Get the Electric.

In an interview with Messrs. MacAl-
lister and Clough at Stoughton, the pro-
motors of the Madison-J Evansville electric
line, during the week, these gentlemen
said it had been already decided to run
through Albion.
People of Albion are very anxious to
have the interurban connect with that
village and Mr. Clough said emphatical-
ly Saturday that such course had al
ready been determined upon. "We want
that passenger traffic" said he, land the
farming communities about Albion Cen
ter are wealthy, folks can afford to travel
and besides the freight item is worthy of
consideration. Sugar beets can be trans
ported on our line to Madison or James
vile and these increased facilities for
disposing of the crop will induce the
farmers to raise much greater acreage
than formerly"
The summer will be spent in survey
ing and securing rights of way from the
owners of land through which the inter
urban should pass If serious objection
be met with then the route would follow
the course of lesser resistance. Mr..
Clough has charge of the construction
of the line and wants to discuss matters
in an amicable way with those interest
ed. He prefers the good will of every
one, rather than any feeling of antago-
nism, which is matter of business.
Mr.. MacAllister in a previous CONVEX
sation remarked that the question of
financiering the project had been settled
some time ago and that there was no
longer any doubt of its completion, and
should anyone desire to purchase bonds
he could obtain them in the same man
ner as those backing the undertaking.

Not Deserving a Single Vote.

That the tobacco industry forms an
integral part in the commercial life of
Edgerton seems to be admitted by all.
There is not business house or day la
borer in the city who is not depending
more or less upon the prosperity of the
tobacco business. 1t is through this
channel, first or last, most of US derive
our bread and butter. 1t stands there
fore to reason that when the man who
represents US in congress deliberately
attempts to destroy this industry he is
treading on dangerous ground. Ii Mr..
FL. A. Cooper wants to do something
generous for the little brown brother in
the Philippines, let him go there for his
votes. He has misrepresented the peo
pie Of his district long enough. We can
not afford to have him do so when it is
possible to secure candidate who will
stand by his home people. 1t is ques-
ton Of bread and butter, not only to
every tobacco and beet grower of his
district, but to every business man and
laborer in Edgerton. Hal Cooper is not
deserving Of single vote in this city at
the primaries next Tuesday and we shall
be surprised If he gets very many.

Hicks September Forecasts.

The month promises to come in with
areas of high temperature, low barome-
ter and storms eliminating on the End.
Look for change to much cooler with
frosts possible in the north. A reaction
airy storm period is probable from 9th to
9Th. A regular storm period is central
on the 18th with magnetic crises. Look
for high temperatures severe electrical
phenomena and much cooler weather to
follow. A reactionary storm period is
period will carry the earth to the center
Of it's autumnal equinox. 1t will also in
augurate series of storms and changes,
on land and sea, that will prove clear
lines Of demarkation between our sum-
mer and autumn. Ii West India hurri-
canes should not appear before, they are
very apt to organize and begin their
progress south of our gulf coasts about
this time. But it will be prudent to
heed all indications of these equatorial
storms at all the September storm per-
iods. We figure that such storms will
be heard from within sixty hours Of noon
on the 18th. During the same period
many storms of rain wind and thunder
are apt to visit inland parts of the coun-
try generally with a possible tornado
here and there. Within the limits named
sixty hours from noon on the 18th,
seismic throes and volcanic outbreaks
are among the phenomena to be antici-
pated OF course We mention these
things as probable in parts of the globe
where such are common. While any
part of the earth may be visited by them
= the earth shivers especially = they
reach their maximum of force and fre-
quency only ir we'll defined sections and
countries We mention them more as
a great, cosmic truth than as warnings
of danger. We warn our readers that
equatorial disturbances in the gulf re-
gion are more than probable at this time.
The moon is in perigee, or nearest the
earth on the 21st and this fact will
greatly increase the tendency to tidal
waves at this period. From Sunday the
23rd to Wednesday the 26th is a time of
maximum storm probability. Look for
com mingling of tropical and boreal
conditions, bringing rain, wind and
thunder in some parts, with possible
sleet and early spurts of snow in the far
north. A reactionary disturbance is cen
trail on the Goth and 3Oth, causing low
barometer and general change to storm
conditions as September goes out. Watch
the events of this autumnal equinox.

Another Stoughtonite found lodge

Another Stoughtonite found lodge
ment in our city lookup from Saturday
evening until Monday evening. This is
getting to be quite fashionable resort
for the Stoughton boys to pass their
week END vacation. Filing Ludwick was
the unfortunate one last Saturday night.
After filing up to the brim with booze,
he proceeded to take hand in street
fight and when Officer Campbell inter
fered, Mr.. Ludwick landed him one
straight from the shoulder. And then
to the prison cell he went. In Judge
Smiths court Monday afternoon he
pleaded guilty to the charge of assault
ing an officer. In his address to the
prisoner before sentence was passed, the
Judge delivered some good advice In re-
gard to resisting an officer and explained
why the penalty was more severe than
for assault upon plain citizen. The
fine imposed was fifteen dollars and
costs, amounting to twenty dollars and
twenty five cents, or thirty days in Rock
county Jail. Friends in Stoughton were
wired and the amount Of the fine was
raised. 1t was paying a pretty good
price for little fun, but the Stoughton
boys seem to lean toward that kind of
sport.

CANNOT VOTE SPLIT PARTY TICKETS.
Voters at Primary Election Can Only Vote
STRAIGHT Ticket

voters at Primary Election Can Only Vote
Straight Ticket.
Voters should devote little time be-
tween now and September 4, studying
up the primary election law. Tuesday,
September 4, will test the primary law
for the first time in this county. All the
nominations will be made by the direct
votes of the citizens.
Ballots for the vote will be furnished
at the polls the same as at elections.
Voters can only express their choice
Tor the nomination of one party.
Voters upon entering the primary
booths will be handed attached together
ballots Of all the parties having candi-
dates for nomination. The voter can
only vote the ballot of one party and
cannot split the ballot, voting for a part
of the candidates of one party and for a
part of the candidates of another party.
Under the law to preserve the secrecy
OF the ballot, the voter deposits all of
his ballots in the ballot boxes, but he
can only mark his preference on one of
ballots be marked it nullifies the vote
thus cast in the primary and renders it
illegal The voter thus must mark the
ooiOI Va tuS parry IOI WuOS6 CduuludtoS
he desires to vote and leave the ballot of
the other parties blank.
AN attempt of voter to split ballots
will nullify his votes.
Thus voter cannot vote for candi-
date for county clerk on the democratic
ticket and candidate for register of
deeds on the republican ticket. He can
only vote the ticket and the party to
which he belongs.
A good many voters in Edgerton would
no doubt like to vote for Andrew Jensen
for state treasurer, but the only way to
accomplish it and make their vote count
would be to vote the democratic ticket,
even though they be republicans. To
mark his name on the publican ticket
only votes for him as republican can
didate and does not help him. AS Mr..
Jensen is the only candidate for that
office on the democratic ticket, his nom-
ination is assured. The way to help Mr..
Jensen is to wait until election day
not at the primaries.
