THORNTON STARRED
LITTLE OUT FIELDER PLAYS GAME
 IN MOBILE.
Used His Stick, Materially Assisted in Winning Game, While Both Base Running and Fielding Were
 Dazzling.

Mobile, May 20.-- Special )--The Mo- bile Oystermen broke their losing streak today by defeating the Legis- lators from Jackson by the score Of 1 to 0, the local aggregation ramming the ball to all corners of the lot in the third inning for five hits, two doubles and three singles. which netted three runs.
 Barber, the much -touted twirler from the Capital City, was on the firing line for the visitors, while Ray occupied the same berth for the locals. Barber pitched good ball with the exception of the third inning, when the local bunch pied up their hits.
 In this inning Ray hit to the pitcher and was safe at first on slow fielding. Thornton then drove a double to right field and Ray went to third. Little Breyette then doubled to right field and both Ray and Thornton crossed the plate. McCay sacrificed Breyette to third and he scored minute later on a single by kemmer.
 Woodward followed Kemmer with a single to center and Kemmer went to third on the hit. Woodward stole sec ond and O'Brien bunted and Kemmer crossed the plate, but O'Brien was out for being hit by a batted ball and Kemmer and Woodward were sent back to their bases. Boyd ended the in- ming by going to first unassisted.
 In the seventh Thornton bunted and beat the ball out and when Breyette sacrificed Thornton went to third, this piece of base running being one of the features of the game. McCay attempt ed to bunt for a squeeze play, but missed the ball and the catcher, see- ing Thornton running for the plate. was so anxious to touch him out that he dropped the ball and Thornton brought another run across the plate.
 The next men went out almost in succession, and this ended the run get ting of the Mobile bunch. The features of the game were the pitching of Ray who held the heavy swatters from Jackson down with but two hits, a double and a scratch. Another feature of the game was the all-around clever fielding of the locals, who got drives that looked good for safeties time and again.
 The all-around work of Thornton also came in for a great deal of due praise for the swift little center nelde1 not only got two hits and scored tive runs. both of which were materially aided by his superb base running, but went back into deep center and made a magnificent catch.

dedicate the New Library january 3Oth.
Arrangements are now being made for
the dedication of Edgerton's handsome
new public library with appropriate ex-
ercises, Jan. 30th. Miss Angie Towne
has the program in charge which is not
yet ready for announcement, however.
Miss L. e. Stevens of the Wisconsin Lii
brary commission has promised to be
present and will furnish an address upon
that occasion
1t is hoped that the building will be
fully completed by that time and posi-
bly, the library moved into the new
structure. The furniture and fixtures
selected have commenced to arrive and
will be put in place before the opening
date. The dedication will mark an i'm
portant step in Edgerton's history and
will be anticipated with good deal of
interest.

German Travelling Library.

A collection of thirty seven books in
the German language has been received
at the Public Library and will be loaned
to any one holding readers card, on
the same terms as other library books.
These books are loaned to us by the
State Library Commission for six months
and if they are read and enjoyed, it is
probable that the Board will arrange to
have new collection sent every six
months for three years. These books
have been very carefully selected and
include. besides many good German
stories, books of history and poetry.
They may prove interesting to students
of German in the high school as well as
those speaking German.

Obituary.
MRS. MARY RILEY.

In the death of Mrs. Mary Riley, which
took place at ten minutes after five New
Years evening, another pioneer woman
OF Edgerton has passed to her reward.
She had been in failing health for some
months past and stroke of paralysis
sustained Dec. % fastened the end.
Mary Riley was born in Bramley, near
Leeds, Yorkshire, England, on the 10Th
day of March, 1929. She came to this
country in 1850, settling in Munsey,
Penn, and remained there until 1861,
when she removed to Edgerton where
she has continued to reside. Two years
after coming to Edgerton she opened a
general merchandise and grocery store
and very successfully conducted the
business until the year 1888.
Mary Riley was married to Austin
Riley on December End, 1888, and this
union was happy one until the final
summons which separated their earthly
pleasures. Besides the husband she
leaves to mourn their loss two sisters,
Mrs. John Watts of Rockton, Ill, Mrs.
John Mawson of Watertown, Wis, and
brother, John S. Riley of the National
Soldiers Home
Funeral services, conducted by Rev.
L. A. Parr, were held from the home at
l o'clock and from the Congregational
church at 80, attended by a large num-
Der of friends and neighbors, and inter
ment was made in Fassett cemetery.
Relatives from out of town present were
the sisters and brother, three nieces,
Mrs. A. Calhoun and Mrs J. c. Seager
of Watertown, Mrs. G.. w. Evans of
Waukegan, Ill, three sons of Austin
Riley, Austin and Will of Newcastle,
Ind. and Alfred of Beloit, Wis.

MRS. j. G.. HELMS.

Elizabeth B. Brown, daughter of Rev.
Almiron Brown, was born in Monroe
Vile, Ohio, May 9Th, 1S47, and passed
1906
When seventeen years of age she was
baptized and united with the Baptist
married Lucius Carpenter and after a
few years spent in Ohio they removed to
a farm near Tower City, Dakota. A
daughter, Fanny Peace, came to bless
this union, who now survives her moth
er. After leaving Dakota, few years
were spent in Chicago with her sisters
and with cousins in Edgerton. In Sep
TENDER, 1895, she was married to John
G.. Helms of GAINESVILLE, and the same
year both she and Mr.. Helms united
with the Baptist church in GAINESVILLE, of
which church they are still members. In
1898 Mr.. and Mrs. Helms moved to Ed
gerton where they have since resided.
Mrs. Helms was one of a family of ten
children. of whom only three sisters and
one brother now survive. Her bereaved
husband and only daughter, Mrs. J. D.
Perrin who have been with her during
a long illness, have the sympathy of
many friends
With those who knew Mrs. Helms
we'll, the impression which her life of
never faltering trust in God, of loving
faithfulness and untiriEg service has
made can never be effaced. To one who
had walked so many years beside her
Savior only step remained to unite her
with the many loved ones who have pre-
coded her to the spirit land.
mo life can be pure in it's purpose or strong
in it's strife
And all life not be purer and stronger thereby"
Funeral services were held from the
Congregational church Tuesday after
noon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. r.
NJ Vaughn, pastor of the Baptist church
at GAINESVILLE, assisted by Rev. L. A. Parr.
The deceased being a member of the
Women's Relief Corps and of the Order
of the Eastern Star, members of these
orders attended the funeral in a body.
Interment was made in Fassett cemetery.

Whar is a Good Citizen?

An exchange says that good citizen
is man who takes pride in his home
town and pays his debts, shovels the
snow off his sidewalk, speaks we'll of his
neighbors, takes his home paper and
pays for it, and who doesn's squeeze
every twenty-five cent piece until the
agonized screams of the eagle can be
heard mile down the road. He will
measure twelve inches to the foot every
way and weigh sixteen ounces to the
pound, will battle and change his shirt
once week and will see that the woman
he loves does not have to use a hedge
fence for clothes line or break ash bar
rels for fuel
