Substantial Success.

The theater goers of this town have
been taken in SO many times by extrav-
agant advertising matter of various
dramatic entertainments that they did
not pay much attention to Mr.. Conrad's
announcement of Eugene Moore in ''My
Boy Jack" last season. Mr.. Moore did
not have a very good house and it was
shame and disgrace to the town, for
my Boy Jack" was the best play from
every point of view presented here for
long time. 1t was one of the sub
stantial successes of last year and is of
the same quality and class as paid in
Full, . THE Wolf" '|The Tiger and
the Lamb" 'The Servant in the
House" and ''The Howl of the Wolf. +"
Mr.. Moore will return this year with
'My Boy Jack" and no doubt will be

ton last season. He will be at Royal
hall, Thursday evening, May 9Th.

Tobacco Notes

The Equity warehouse at Viroqua, as
well as that of Fred Eckhart, finished
the seasons packing last week.
S. C. Chambers of Milton Junction,
was in town Wednesday and reports
that he has finished his packing of new
crop, some 350cs of choice selections.
Plant beds sown something over two
weeks ago at the feeding station show
a nice start of young plants even with
white frosts showing every morning.
P. H. German, head Of the American
Cigar Co., and H. B. Buell. of the leaf
department of the same company in
New York, and w. T. Jefferson, state
manager, visited the Edgerton branch
on Tuesday.
A strong movement is on over in
Crawford county to build an Equity to-
bacco warehouse for the purpose of
handling the 1909 crop which will be
pooled in that county. In all probable
tiles this house will be located either
at Soldiers Grove or Gays Mills.

Carp Fishing Breeds Contempt for
Game Laws.

The Fort Atkinson Union, which has
all along opposed the present method
of carp fishing in Lake Koshkonong, in
sists in an article published last week
that the present system of inspection
of carp fishing 10 so rotten that it is a
wonder that it holds together long
enough for the game warden who sane
tons the murderous work to collect in
his "rakeoff."
The monstrous travesty on justice
that is being perpetrated here contin-
ually under the apparent sanction of
the law is bringing it's natural fruitage
an utter contempt for the law.
There isn't citizen so poor but that
he can have all the fish he can lug off,
if he will become the friend of the carp
fishers. Even then tons and tons of the
choicest varieties have been buried on
the shore of Lake Koshkonong, both
literally and fguratively Ito keep from
raising a stink" All this work can be
carried on with little handout to the
game warden, but if the game warden
should not prove ''easy'' he can be ig-
nored entirely. The system is so per-
feet.
What does this thing breed? An utter
contempt of the game laws. There isn't
a game warden in the state that can
get a conviction in Fort Atkinson.

lar meeting of Fulton Lodge No. &c, F..
& A. M.
Whereas, The Graat Ruler of the Universe
has in His infinite wisdom removed from our
midst our worthy and esteemed brother c. O.
Shannon, and
Whereas, The intimate relations held for
years by him with the brothers of this order
makes it fitting that we record our apprecia-
ton of him, therefore be it
Resolved, That the wisdom and ability which
he has exercised so faithfully in aid of our
work by council and by service will be held in
grateful remembrance; and
Resolved, That the removal of such a man
leaves vacancy and shadow that will be
deeply realized by all Masonic brothers and
friends and will prove a grievous loss to this
Lodge. and that we, the members of Fulton
Lodge No. 50, F. g. A. M, do tender to the
family and friends of the deceased brother our
warmest sympathy and coincidence upon this
sad occasion and express our earnest hope
that even SO great a bereavement NAV be over
ruled for their highest good, and
Resolved. That copy of these resolutions
be sent to the family of the deceased brother
