Mrs. Henry Palmer. widow OF the
late DR.. Palmer, one of the best known
surgeons in this section, died at her
home in GAINESVILLE Saturday night, aged
rs years.
The little cut worms have proven
more annoying to farmers during the
cool, damp weather this spring than for
many years past. The pest has laid in
wait for every spear of corn as it ap-
peared and in the aggregate has done
vast amount of damage, especially on
sod ground. A few farmers report they
have lost most of their first paintings
and nearly all have been sufferers to
some extent. So much replanting has
been necessary that seed corn has
proven a scarce article in many locali-
ties.
Pres Zigler, Joe Ellis and a party
of officials of the Cincinnati Construc-
ton Co. have been in the state during
the week and give assurance that some
thing will be doing in the interurban
matter shortly. Just what develop
ments the affairs will take cannot yet
be made public, but Mr.. Ellis is author
ity that the announcement is soon to
come. The party went over the pro-
posed line in an automobile Monday,
stopping in Edgerton for short stay.
To the Gazette reporter Mr.. Zigler, in
response to inquiries, made the follow
statements: eve have our right of
way and franchises. We will file our
bonds with the cities and show our good
faith within 80 days. Contracts for
the construction of the road have been
signed and provide that it must be
completed within six months. We will
start work at both ends of the line and
the road will be operating by Deem
Der. There are one or two matters
still to be adjusted. In addition to the
arrangement we have made to take our
cars into the capital over the Madison
traction company's lines, we find that
we've got to get franchise from the
city of Madison. The laws OF Wiscon-
sin are pretty discouraging to investors
but we've got so much money tied up
in this enterprise already that we've
simply got to go ahead and finish it. =
From the council proceedings it
may be seen that the saloonkeepers in
Edgerton have somewhat rough and
rugged road to travel if they secure
license to continue business another
year or even hold on to the permits
they have until the end of the present
license year. Charges were presented
at the meeting against every saloon
keeper already doing business, based
on testimony of a young man imported
from Stoughton, by name Hjalmer
Vede, who claims to be minor after
having secured intoxicants over every
bar in the city. Acting the part of
detective, he had tricked the saloon
keepers into violating the law. On
these charges it is expected the council
would order trial of the offenders and
if found guilty their licenses could be
revoked; nor under the statutes could
licenses be granted any of those con-
victed of the offense another year.
There is evidently disposition of some
of our citizens to prevent the contin-
uance of the saloons in Edgerton by
whatever means possible and the sa-
loon men have apparently fallen into
the trap laid for them. Whether fair
minded people will approve of these
methods or not is another question.
The Darlington Republican, ournal:
Old settlers are now calling to mind the
fact that fifty years ago this June we
had freeze in the early part of the
month, when thermometers were down
to %. Potatoes and other vegetables
were frozen from the tops clear down.
Corn that was waist high was also cut
off. 1t is claimed that the corn and
potatoes both came up again and made
a fair yield.
