Evansville

Mrs Ell L Haylett of Menomonee Falls
arrived here the first of the week for the
purpose of making her home with her
sister, Miss Cleland. Her household
goods arrived the day following and
sometime during Tuesday night some
person or persons broke into the car
where the goods we're, throwing trunks
and boxes out, broke into them and took
what articles would be convenient to
handle and lit out.
A man supposed to be crazy created
quite a little excitement over near Union
Wednesday morning. When the Gillies
boys went out to work on the old Fair
banks farm which they rent and work
in connection with the Gillies farm, a
stranger armed with a pitchfork drove
them off the place. John Hendricks,
constable of the town of Union, and G G
Broughton, chief Of police of Evansville,
we're sent for but by the time they ar
rived ha was making tracks as rapidly
as possible for Dane county, and as all
that was wanted was possession of the
farm, nothing further was done.

heretofore never had the pleasure of

ifcation fulfilled Tuesday afternoon,
when one of this nature made it's pres
ence felt. An eye observer, one who
had seen genuine western cyclones, who
saw the storm approaching, from an ex-
cellent point of vantage, states that for
a long distance to the southwest the up
per two stratas of clouds could be seen
working back and forth with a distinct
line of shade between, and a continual
Commandment of electaical forces from
one to the other. Upon nearing the city
a heavy dark cloud was noticed ap-
preaching the two, and when met a
downward dip was made which resulted
in the demolition of property. 1t par
took more of the nature of bounding
motion and wherever it struck an object
destruction was the result.

A Cool Thief.

One summer afternoon an exception
ally well dressed stranger was seen to
enter the front gate of a house in q
wealthy neighborhood. He walked to
the door and tried to open it with a
key. AS he could not do so he went
around to a window and, pushing it
open, climbed in through it. 1t was a
suspicious proceeding, but as the man
was dressed in the height of fashion
the officer on the beat thought that it
was the owner of the house, who, hay
ing forgotten his key, had used the
window as his means of entrance.
However, the officer thought it best to
watch the place for awhile to see if
anything out of the way might occur.
A short time later, emerging from the
front door, the stranger stopped as if
some one had spoken to him from
within, and, saying Eyes, Bess, have
my key this time,' he lifted his hat
and walked slowly away. Some hours
later, when the real owner of the house
returned, the policeman learned that his
first suspicious had been correct, for
the well dressed stranger had walked
off with the jewelry and everything Of
value that he could lay his kid gloved
hands upon.-Chicago Tribune.

him to seek his bed. Funeral services
were conducted at the home at o'clock

born in New York City, Sept s, 1884, and

he turned and started to cross the track.

power and applied the brakes, but it was
too late TO avert the accident. The
coach hit the steer and in running over
him the forward trucks we're derailed

ANNUAL SCHOOL MEETING.
Budget for Support of the Schools In
creased $500.
EDGERToN, Wis, July 6, 1908.

EDGERToN, Wis, July 6, 1908.
The annual meeting of the electors of
Joint School District No. 8 Of the city of
Edgerton and town of Fulton was held
at the school building in Edgerton on
the eve of July 9th and organized by
calling L. G. Whittet to the chair, the
| clerk acting as secretary.
Minutes of the last annual meeting
were read and approved.
The annual report was read as here
with given:
To the annual school meeting of Joint
School District No. g. City of Edgerton
and Town of Fulton:
Your school board respectfully submit
to you as follows:
The school year just closed has, on
| the whole, been satisfactory one for
| the Edgerton schools. No serious inter
ruption from contagious diseases as we're
experienced the year previous. The
number of graduates from the high
room was 25-the greatest number at
any one year during the history of the
school, The departments have been in
most features we'll kept up, but there
exists in still another grade, the 9Th, a
crowded condition. The enrolment will
be about IS, and with justice to teacher
and pupils division Of the grade is in
evitable and calls for the goth teacher in
our schools. There is and has been for
some years throughout the country an
increase in teachers wages. Your board
has in measure been obliged to con-
cede to this demand. Then constant
request has been made to your board for
new single seats in place of the old
double ones. Two grade rooms have
been refurnished during the past year,
and action already taken to complete
the reseating of all the grade rooms.
Thus, unavoidably, there has been an
increased demand for funds to maintain
our schools up to desired standard,
and at the same time your board has
aimed to curtail the expenditure of
money so far only as is for the best in
terests of the schools.
