Don't throw salt on cement side
walks. The composition out of which
they are made won't stand for it. The
salt has the effect of softening the &C.
ment and rendering the walk honey
combed. Ashes and sawdust are the
proper things to place on them. The
best way to treat them, however, is to
use snow shovel in good season, then
there will be no need of anything else.
The estate of the late Halvor N
Hauge, farmer of Christiana township,
amounting to $4,000, has been left to
charity. Rev. G. G. Krostu, pastor of
the Koshkonong churches, has been ap-
pointed administrator. He said the
sums bequeathed would be divided be-
tween the Lutheran Orphans Home and
number of foreign missions. Mr..
Hauge left no family or immediate rela-
tives.
-Chas R. Elmer, aged Is years, whose
home is in New Jersey, jumped from the
$3.50 train as it was approaching the sta
ton Wednesday evening, striking upon
his head, sustaining quite severe injuries.
He was taken to DR.. Clearys Office
where he remained all night. His in
juries seem confined to cut upon the
scalp and bruises. The supposition is
that when the train passed the new
depot he thought the train would not
stop and jumped. The young man had
come out from New Jersey to work on
the farm of Albino Davis, north of town.
The 22nd Annual Ball of the Edger-
ton Volunteer Fire Department will be
held in Academy hall, Wednesday even
ing, January Both. The different COM
mittees have been appointed, Hatch &
Kneff's harp orchestra have been en-
gagged and nearly all other arrangements
have been completed. The Fire Com
pany and it's relation to the city's well
fare is we'll known and it is up to the
citizens to turn in and make the 22nd
annual a grand success. The orchestra
will give a concert from $50 to $50.
If you don't care to dance, go and hear
the musical treat.
