Eastern Syndicate Plan Trolley Line,

A. P. Russell of Baltimore and C. F.
Knowlton of GAINESVILLE, Ohio, who have
been making two months inspection
of central Wisconsin for an eastern
syndicate which plans through inter
urban system from Wausau to Chicago,
via Stevens Point, GAINESVILLE, Portage,
Madison, Beloit, Rockford and Elgin,
arrived in GAINESVILLE last Friday and
carefully inspected the franchise that
was granted last March to the Cincin-
natl Construction Co., H. H. Zigler,
president, for line from GAINESVILLE to
Madison. If the project materialiZes,
they say it will be their plan to work
in harmony with existing lines and those
in process of construction. The pro-
jected road from Madison to Portage
they believe to be a good business prop
osition, and the cheap water power
available north of Portage will be an
important factor and inducement for
making connections with Stevens Point.
Obituary.
MRS. ]. S. THOMAS.
Mrs. J. S. Thomas passed away at
the home of her sister, Mrs. Paul Goede,
in the third ward, Monday, Sept. Is,
1909. Her death occurred at a quarter
to six in the afternoon and resulted
from burns sustained at the time of the
burning of her home on Sunday, Sept.
9Th. Since that time she has suffered
untold agonies, all the time being given
the best medical attendance and special
nursing, but to no avail.
Anna Schmeling was born in Ger
many on the 22nd day of April, 1879,
and was brought to this country by her
parents, Otto Schmeling and wife, a
year later, in 1880. Her mother passed
away in 1903 and the father in 1906.
On August, 1902, she was united in
marriage to j. S. Thomas and to this
union two children were born, Gretchen,
aged 5 years, and Ruby, aged years.
daughters, there are two brothers,
sisters, Mrs. Amelia Stricken, Mrs.
Bertha Stricken, Mrs. Gusta Goede and
Miss Minnie Schmeling, left to mourn
their loss.
With the exception of few years
residence in Madison, Edgerton has al
! ways been her home, and as a girl,
wife and mother she was kind and low
ing, always striving for duty to herself
and family, devoted to husband and
home She leaves a large circle of
friends and neighbors whose sympathy
is extended to the bereaved family in
the tragic ending of one so near and
dear to them.
Funeral services, conducted by Rev.
Martin of Madison, were held from the
home of Paul Goede at / o'clock We'd
nesday and from ST. Johns German
Lutheran church at O'Clock, and in
terment was made on the Schmeling lot
in Fassett cemetery.

Edserton Gets 1910 M. E. Conference.

At the Nj. E. conference, In session
at Kenosha, last Monday it was voted
to hold the 1910 conference in Edger-
ton. The Grand Avenue church of Mill
waukee presented an invitation to have
the conference meet in that city, but
after a warm contest, and several
speeches favoring each of the cities,
Edgerton won out by a good majority.
This was brought about through the
efforts of Rev. G. Kenneth Maclnnis
and Willard North, delegate. To
have and to hold state M. E. confer
ence in Edgerton will be an honor con-
lferred upon very few cities the size of
ours. Just before going to the Keno
sha conference, Rev. MacInnis and Mr..
North met officers of the Advancement
association and the matter was dis
'cussed, assurance being given that the
necessary funds would be raised to de-
fray expenses of the conference if
brought here next year, and entertain
ment provided for those in attendance.
Rev. MacInnis also made partial can
vass of the homes to see how many
each would take, meeting with success
which would warrant extending an in
vitation, as families of all denomina-
tons readily put their names on the
list to help care for the members while
here. There will be over 800 in atten-
dance next year, and that Edgerton
people will warmly welcome them there
is no doubt.

DESIGN IN SHIFTING BUREAU
Suggestion of Sherlock Holmes Found
Useful by Girl Who Likes to Be
Well Dressed.

Apparently, the room was comfort
able, but it had one insurmountable
drawback.
There is only one place to keep the
bureau said the tall girl; therefore
cannot live here. | must have
room large enough to permit hauling
the bureau around. Here it will have
to stand always so the light from the
window will strike my left side while
dress. That would be detrimental to
the small share of good looks now pos
sessed by my right side.
Sherlock Holmes put me on to the
necessity of switching my looking
glass around every little while, If |
wish to preserve a uniformity of good
looks. He pointed out that the side
of the body that the light strikes most
directly while dressing will always be
best groomed. The hair will be curled
more artistically, the powder be laid
ON more smoothly, and even the
clothes will be arranged more becom-
ingly This being so, 1t stands to rea-
son that the side that gets most at
| tention constantly is going to improve
in the same ratio that the neglected
side deteriorates, and that the person
who dresses for months before a glass
that always stands in the same posi-
tion as regards the light is going to
get really lopsided so far as good
looks are concerned"
The top-floor girl sighed renectively.
Il wonder" she said. 'if that is the
reason my hair is so much thinner on
the right side. Pm going right straight
home and move my bureau"
