The old theory that grown people Sc
TO the circus to take the children has
so long been exploded, and the people
are so much more honest in these days
of graft revelation and square dealing,
that the grOwn-ups frankly acknowl-
edge that they go to the circus because
they like to, and they have to take the
children along, for there is no one LEFT
at home to care for them. And we ask
ourselves why we enjoy it; for it is the
same show over season after season,
the clowns impose the same jokes; the
aero battle feats are the same, except
occasionally intensified a little, and
the trained kings of the jungle are
yearly subjected to the indignity of the
same silly tricks, and yet everybody
goes to the circus, knowing before the
performance just what they will see.
I think it is the atmosphere of the
place that attracts. No one at cir
Gus objects to the democratic mixing
of all ages, colOrs, classes, and condi-
tions of people. The infectious good
nature of the crowd, the grotesque
clowns who are pounded and tumble6
about without ever getting hurt, the
music of tn band half drowned in tbs
din of shouts and cracking whips,
laughter and cheering; the frail. crude.
unadorned canvas theater and the ele-
ment Of daring in the perilous roles Of

and excitement, that obliterate in every

Capt. Campbell Meets Accident.

Capt Campbell, well known tobac-
co buyer in this section with office at
1876 w. Lake St., Chicago, met with a
very painful accident at his home, 1869
Ridge Ave-, on last Tuesday evening.
Mr. Campbell is the owner of val
liable Boston bulldog that is a noted
fighter that has never lost battle,
having fought many fierce one and
winning the prize each time.
Mr. Campbell has tenant in his sec
ond fiat that owns dog and naturally
the two are not on the best of terms.
The people of the top fiat brought their
dog on the porch. Mr.. Campbell's son
at the time had their dog in the back
yard playing with it. Soon. as he saw
the dog upstairs, away he went and in
less time than it takes to tell the story
the bull had the dog and was choking
the life out of him.
Mr.. Campbell tried to choke the dog
off and in some manner the cur bit him
on the hand in a frightful manner, lac
Grating it badly. A physician was call
at once and the hand was cauterized,
and he is getting along nicely and will
be all right in week or two with no
bad results. Cap. says in the future he
will let dogs and men fight it out but
will still keep his pet dog.

Having crushed about all the rock
available for road material at this
point, the town of Albion has moved
the crusher plant purchased Of the city
to the Will Tanner place near the north
city limits, where supply OF hard
heads can be obtained for completing a
section of macadam on the middle Al
bion road. The haul there will be
short, considerably reducing the ex-
pense over the west road section which
has just been completed in frst-class
shape. A farmer told us recently
that the only poor roads he finds now
in coming to town are after he reaches
the city limits, and wants to know how
much longer we are going to allow the
country towns to beat us out on the
matter of highway improvements. 1t
is only question of time when the
business interests of Edgerton will suf-
fer if we continue Indifferent about the
condition of our streets and highways
leading into town. There is scarcely
city in this section of the state but
what shows greater interest in the i'm
portance of permanent road improve
ments. Isn't it time to wake up?
