The speaker is an enthusiast on

iasm impaired to his audience.
The missionary work of the
Christian church in foreign lands
is story of wonderful interest,
stranger than any fiction ever
written. The recent opening up
of the eastern world to western
civilization brings the mission
ary question into view as touch.
ing in a most direct manner the
future progress of the great
empires of China and Japan and
their relations to our own coun.

has become not only a religious
one. but it is now question of
world craftsmanship, and the
relations which have been forced
upon the American people since
the war with Spain. make it
one of vital importance to our
people.

ANNUAL REPORT
Grant County Telephone Company,

Following is a statement of the con-
dltion of the Grant County Telephone
company at the close of the year, on
noc n 1907.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1908-08-14

Hal COOPER has been long enough in
office to know where the interests of his
constituents lie. He ought to be friend
~ to the tobacco and sugar growing in
terests of the district, which he is not.
He ought to be in harmony with Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the republica ma
jority of the house instead of being an
insurgent. In the republican national
convention Mr.. Cooper was on the COM
mittee on resolutions. He was one of
fifty-four members. He did not agree
with them. He made q minority report
to the convention, signed by himself
alone. Everybody knows the rest. He
has the satisfaction of knowing, however,
that every measure advocated by him
and repudiated by the republican ma
tional convention was unanimously
adopted by the democratic national con-
Vention few days later. Does such a
record commend him as a candidate for
denomination?

Dead Body Found in Lake KegOnsa.

Martin Mortenson, a character who
has frequented this section for some
time, and for several weeks has been en-
gagged in fishing at the lake, was found
dead few feet north of the lake bridge
by Section Foreman Henry Hill We'd
day morning at about half past seven
o'clock. After Justice Gilbert had been
summoned and coroners jury had
been impanelled and visited the scene,
the body was removed to Halvorson's
undertaking rooms where it was pre-
pared for burial. Mortenson had been in
Edgerton Tuesday and was seen lying
asleep on the front platform of the bag
gage car on the 7:45 passenger by Roy
Bartlett, who attempted to rouse, him,
thinking it was another man. Whether
he woke up and tried to get off the
train after it had passed the Kegonsa
station, or whether he rolled down from
the platform will of course, never be
known. The body did not show any in
jury, except a deep cash in the head.
The mans basket was found short dis
lance beyond the place where the body
lay. The deceased is thought to have
been about fifty years of age, and is not
known to have any relatives. The coun-
ty will presumably have to defray the
cost of the burial.-Stoughton Hub.

Buffalo Bills Wild West.

Will exhibit at Madison, Wis, Tues
day, August 49,
1t is announced that Buffalo Bill has
prepared an entirely new exhibition for
his home coming tour, after four years
abroad. While, of course, the general
style of the exhibition will be the same,
there will be change of scenic features
differing from any that have been seen
with the show during the twenty five
years it has been before the public. Col.
VIM. E. Cody, the last of the great
scouts, will appear in the saddle at every
performance, leading his Congress of
Rough Riders in some remarkable ex-
hibitions of expert Craftsmanship. The
chief scenic feature will be the Battle of
Summit Springs, a reproduction of one
of the deciding conflicts in Indian war
fare; battle in which Col. Cody par
ticipated and in which he shot and
killed Chief Tall Bull. Another panto-
mimic melo6rama will be The Great
Train Bold-Up, in which will be de-
picted the robbery of train; practical
engine, cars and realistic and true-to-
life representation of one of the many
scenes OF lawlessness which the West
has known. In A Holiday at TIE Ranch
will be pictured the pleasures and pas
times of the plainsmen, cowboy sports
and dance upon the green. The con-
trast to this scene of peaceful revelry
will be shown in sudden attack by In
dams. The Rough Riders contingent
will display themselves in difficult feats
OF Workmanship, hazardous exhibitions
of skill and diverting and exhilarating
routine of equestrian expertness and
daring. In short there 3 no other en-
tertainment like Buffalo Bills Wild
West, and after twenty-five years before
the public it is more popular than ever,
and is in every way better equipped than
it has ever been before.
