not yet shown his intention Of meet

might have been tossing a metal coin
to decide the advisability OF buying
back what he had sold; he might have
been adding up the bids as they were
made. He said nothing for a fraction

men must have seemed like an age.

now dropping two, three, five dollars

was spreading TO the other poles, as

losers must throw over the other
stocks they hold to meet their loss,

Interurban Talk.

There is small hope that there will
be any interurban road built this year
between GAINESVILLE and Madison, espec-
tally by Mr.. Clough and his associates.
The option for the purchase of the
GAINESVILLE street railway held by Mr..
Clough would have expired April 18th,
but the Janesvilie papers report thar it
has been extended for six months more.
In view of these facts it looks as il the
eastern promoters were waiting to see if
the Madison trouble could not soon be
settled. Those back of the proposed
Madison GAINESVILLE interurban line are
having trouble to get into Madison, and
until this is settled it looks as though
nothing would be doing. Neither is
nothing ever heard of late regarding Mr..
Montgomery's project to build the line
from the Madison end.
A later dispatch issued from Chicago
states that an order for $4,000 worth of
tools and grading machinery has been
placed with supply company in that
city, to be used in the construction of an
interurban railway between Madison
and GAINESVILLE. Fl, 81. Clough is under
stood to be back of the project. The
Madison Journal in referring to the dis
patch intimates that Mr.. Clough and
Mr. Montgomery represent the same in
terest. Everyone is at liberty to draw
their own conclusions from the confict-
ing information.

Obituary.
THOMAS l.. CARPENTER.

By the death of Thos. l.. Carpenter,
which took place at the home Of his son
Lester in this city on Monday, April Is,
another of the early pioneers of Dane
county has passed to bis reward. For
nearly four years past Mr., Carpenter
has been confined to his bed with rheu-
matism, during which time he has suf-
fered two paralytic strokes. Gradually
his strength failed him until the end
came peacefully on Monday last.
Thomas Lemuel Carpenter was born
in Stephentown, New York, IS years ago.
He was united in marriage to Miss Lou
lisa Day in 1914 and two years later, in
the summer of 1916, he emigrated to the
then territory of Wisconsin and was
among the very early settlers Of the
town OF Christiana, Dane county, taking

Buffalo to Milwaukee, thence overland

Coon, located in the same township. Mr..
Carpenter was an earnest, conscientious
man who commanded the respect and
confidence of his neighbors. In his
earlier life Mr.. Carpenter acquired some
skill as veterinary and supplied the
needs OF the community in that line for
long series of years. A few years ago
his health failed him and he removed
with his son to this city to live. Aside
from his widow, who has been confined
to her bed for some months past, one
son survives him. 4 brother, John ii.

The books were opened for supplementary registration. according to the law. which requires the regis tration office to be open for two days prior to any municipal election.
 The city election will be held Mon- day. and in order that the law might be compiled with. Registration Officers M. A Benjamin. F. A. Johnson and A. Guy. were on hand ready to add the names to the list of any who had become of age since the primary. or through ill., ness or other unavoidable causes had been unable to register previously.
 The registration yesterday Is regard ed as particularly heavy when it is con- sidered that the regular registration be- fore the primary was rather light. This Is probably due to the fact that if the primary of 1908 for county officers should be held prior to July 1. there will he no chance for any one to regis ter after today.
 This supplementary registration will be closed today. The registration books will he kept open at the Tax Assessors office until o'clock this evening, and this may be the last opportunity for those who have not heretofore regis tered to do so before next years pri- maries.

 large force of hands Is excavating for the site of the new theatre on Dexter Avenue. The building is being erected by Jake Wells, the well known theatrical man of Richmond. in con Junction with a number of prominent Montgomerians. The new theatre will represent when completed an invest ment of $60.000. The erection of this theatre at its site between Lawrence and McDonough Streets is an addi- tional evidence of the expansion of Montgomerys business district.
 In recent report. and after careful investigation of the situation, Secre- tary l.. l.. Gilbert of the Commercial Club estimates that the amount of money represented by the residences under construction at this one time is S175,O0O. That Is an enormous total when one comes to think of it. But any builder or contractor will back the statement that building operations in the past three years have been stead fly increasing Each year 1t was thought that the high water mark was reached. But each succeeding year has set a new mark.
 In his report, after setting forth the actual construction work in progress, Secretary Gilbert expresses the belief that no other Southern city can show as much going on at one time and he says that "it has been demonstrated that the material growth of a city for ten years can be crowded Into three years"
 Montgomery Is striving to have a population of 100000 tn 1910 She Is assuredly making great strides to that goal.
