HOGS-Receipts of hogs were larger than
usual Of late for a Monday, ninety-three
cars being reported in. In fact IL was
the heaviest run for a Monday experienced
al this point since the middle Of June.
Fortunately there was a good demand and
buyers all took hold freely with the result
that pretty much everything changed hands
in very good season IN the morning. The
prices paid were as a rule l0c higher than
last weeks close. Thus hogs sold largely
at S.S0q5,@ and on up as high as $500.
II will be remembered that on Saturday a
very considerable proportion Of the re-
ceipts sold at S.70d6.S0. with a top at 500.

Child Crushed Under a Barn.

Little George Bull, the five year old
son of George r. Bull, Sun Prairie
printer and at one time employed in The
Reporter Office, was crushed to death by
barn falling on him during tornado
that swept over that village Monday
evening.
Accompanied by his little sister, he
was on his way home from school when
the storm broke and he sought shelter
behindsthe barn and asked the girl to
come with him. She was frightened by
the storm and continued running on her
way home. After the boy had stood be-
side the building few moments it was
raised from its foundation and blown
over. The unfortunate boy was buried
beneath the wreck.
Three,quarters of an hour after the
building had been blown over some
children noticed young Bull pinned 10
by timbers and they gave the alarm. A
rescue party was organized and it re-
quired considerable time before the life
less body of the boy could be extricated,
it being necessary to use axes to chop
away the iimbers The child's head and
one leg were crushed. It is believed
that he was killed instantly.

The Concert Was Great.

The Young Peoples Society of the
Norwegian church should be congratu-
lated upon securing such fine concert
company as the one which appeared at
Culton Memorial hall on May 9th. All
three of the participants were artists in
their respective line of work and showed
careful study and training.
Miss Alice r. Walden, the pianist
was especially we'll appreciated. Each
of her numbers was enthusiastically re-
ceived and were we'll deserving of the
encore which they received. Miss Wal
den's two best numbers were probably
Carnival of Venice" by Schulhoff, and
polka de la Raine" of Raft. They were
played, as were all of her selections, with
ease and delicacy of touch. Her tone
was beautiful and her technique excels
that of any pianist that has ever been
here. She held her audience at closest
marked attention and during the play
ing OF the light, soft passages a pin
might have been heard dropping, SO
wonderfully dainty and easily as they
were executed. Is an accompanist,
Miss Walden here too displayed her
great ability and played with refined
style in all her accompanying. Too
much could not possibly be said of Miss
Walden's playing and every one who
heard her says she is truly first-class
artist.
Miss Eleanora Olson, the mezzo So
prano, was heartily received also. She
has beautiful, rich voice with great
deal of volume. Miss Olson was especi-
ally liked when she sang my Heart is at
Thy Sweet Voice. by Saint Scans. Her
articulation was very noticeable and she
won the heart of her audience by her
pleasing appearance and taking selec-
tons.
Miss Ethel Olson, reader and imper-
senator, was again heartily welcomed.
Her appearance in Edgerton in January
won for her many admirers. When she
appeared to give her first number, Son
Suburban Train" the applause of the
audience showed that they were again
glad to see her. Miss Ethel's selections
were all encored and she surely made
great chit" with every one. Her imper-
sonation of Norwegian Woman Using
the Telephone for the First Time" and
ssTheir First Quarrel" were enthusiast
tically received and kept the crowd in a
continual roar of laughter.
On the whole the concert was A No.
and should this company return to Ed
gerton the opera house would be too
small to welcome them.

Survey of Electric Line Delayed.

Work on the survey of the GAINESVILLE
Madison electric line has been held up
for several days on account of the rainy
week. The intention of the preliminary
survey seems to be to run the line south
of the railway between this city and
Stoughton, making it as direct as pos
sible.
With the appearance of Chief En-
gineer Ellis and Ell. FL. Zigler in Edger-
ton the citizens have begun dreaming
that the interurban connections between
GAINESVILLE and Madison and even as far
as the Dells of the Wisconsin are pos
sibility now. In the Madison Journal of
Saturday a correspondent announces
, under an Edgerton date line that the
new interurban between GAINESVILLE and
Madison is certainty now but that,
tried by former disappointments, the
citizens are bottling up their enthusiasm
for the time at least.
From the Gazette OF Monday we learn
that Mr.. Zigler and Mr.. Ellis left for
Chicago that morning to meet with
others of the syndicate for general con-
ference. Mr.. Ellis expected to return the
same evening and begin work again
Tuesday at Edgerton, while Mr.. Zigler
went east on business and will return on
Saturday or Monday. That the work
will be pushed now appears certainty,
although whether the proposed line to
Kilbourn is a part OF the present project
remains to be seen.

Town Boards should Apply at Once.

Town Boards Should Apply at Once.
The highway division of the geological
survey advises the farmers of Wisconsin
contemplating road and bridge improve
ment to send in their application for ad
vice and assistance at once. The appro-
priation for this work is only $4,000.
This means that comparatively few OF
the 1900 communities can be reached.
To this enterprising percentage the
highway division offers hearty co-opera-
ton.
The highway division will, upon appli-
cation. inspect roads which are difficult
to maintain and tell how to remedy ex-
listing conditions as quickly and cheaply
as possible; make practical suggestions
for relocation. grading or drainage; ex-
anime old bridges and estimate care
fully the cost of new ones; in short, in
sure the farmers of Wisconsin the best
possible results at the least possible ex-
pense.
This competent advice, practical as
sistance, and whenever possible lin the
case of stone or gravel roads, outfits OF
road machinery are offered by the high
way division, upon application, entirely
free of charge.

CATS AND THEIR CARE.

The fashionable cat just at present seems to be
what is known the Maine cat, said woman
doctor. IT is considered only beautiful but
intelligent. amiable and faithful Many claim that
cats have intelligence, ard care as much for one
person another I have been in this business for
about six years, and I have found almost as many
intelligent cats as dogs Also they are about as
faithful as the average dog, and the dog IS more
faithful than the average human being, so you see
what think OF people and cats.
If you want good house cats bring them up from
kittens. Don't try to train grown cats. They are
as stubborn though more polite, than the average
man or woman whose habits we try to change.
And above all things Go not have your sympathy
aroused TO such an extent as to adopt tramp cats
They are utterly and entirely demoralized and
hopeless.
IN choosing from litter of kittens Look for a
prettiIy marked cat, and one whose fur, wher
parted in places, grows thick on the pelt. Be sure
choose from fat litter. Thin kittens are often
we'll fed but being infested with feas, make poor
The next point is to notice the eyes. If the
eyes appear 10 he sore, it is vsest to choose an
other though often sore eyes in kittens are caused
by their being exposed TOO soon 10 the light Kit
tens should always be kept in the dark for at least
two weeks after birth.
Choose kitten with wide. fat nose, eyes
wide apart, and wide forehead and Jaw. the muz-
zle not too long This will prove to be an intelli-
gent cat AS soon as kittens have learned TO lap
milk they may be taken from their mother. A
healthy kitten should become healthy cat, but If
he should get sick good rule is TO let him alone
and especially not coax him to eat. If a cat is in
iured or poisoned another good rule is to see the
veterinarian. Some persons have an idea that what
is good for dog is good for cat. When their cat
has feas they give tar soap bath or a good dust
ing with insect powder. Tar soap is sickening to
a cat even after the fur has been thoroughly dried
Washing should always be avoided, as water IS not
natural for a cat. As FOR insect powders 1t is only
a sure way of poisoning the cat, for these powders
usually have poison in them, and a cat is con-
stantIy washing itself with its tongue"
