Erwin Gone Home

Nonplussed, detected, dumfounded,
paralyzed, chagrined and broke, "Buck"
Stage is silently folding his tent and
quietly moving the remains left from
the wreck back to the home of his
youth; back where business opens at
1000 a. M; back where the grass
grows green and the wild flowers
bloom; back where the wheels of prog
ress revolve and the hum of prosperity
will again make music in his ears; back
where busy life will stir his heart to
action and send the life stream surging
through his veins. Old Hoss, you
stuck for thirty days, and that was
going some. Here is our hand; we
welcome you again in our busy midst.
Seventeen new families moved to
Waubay since our last issue and are
finding temporary accommodation in
tents.
Jesse .Cottor, the hustling house
mover from Aberdeen, is in Waubay
making arrangements to move the
vacant residence buildinge from the
suburban station, Webster, and in this
way we expect to be able in measure
to accommodate the new corners.
Poor old Webster, bleachin' in the sun,
Fellers all a-sittin' round, lookin'
kinder glum;
Flies buzzin' round and round
Where piles of refuse lie,
Only real excitement s when the trains
go shootin' by.
Poor old Webster, fallin' to decay,
All the live ones that they had is movin'
to Waubay;
Rest the fellers loafin' round,
Feelin' kinder dry;
Only real excitement IS when the trains
go shooting by.
Feeble old Webster, totterin' down the
hill,
Dreamin' of the good old times as old
things will;
Musin' bout the ole times that in the
dim past lie;
Only real excitement s when the trains
go shootin' by.

GO at Edgerton Tuesday, receiving a
check for over $1,000 for same.
The first show of the Cambridge
Poultry association has passed into his
tory and has exceeded all expectations.
Great credit is due the officers for their
unstinted labors to bring it to such a
successful conclusion, and it is safe to
say that another year will see still
better exhibition.

the Budget of 1909 They Com
mitted Political Suicide.

The bill of the British government
to abolish the veto power of the
house of lords. which. if the govern
ment is able to pass it as it stands.
promises to accomplish a historical
change in the parliamentary system
of Great Britain. was introduced in
the house of commons by Premier AS
quith.
Mr.. Asquith declared that when the
lords rejected the budget of 1909 they
committed political suicide. History
would say that it was the most stu
pendous act of political blindness ever
perpetrated.
Hereditary in origin, irresponsible
in the exercise of its powers, and over
whelmingly partisan in it's actual COM
position-t was the body to which
the law intrusted the right to delay
and check the considered decisions
of elected representative of the peo
pie, Mr.. Asquith declared

To his many friends and relatives
comes as great shock the news of the
death Saturday morning of Ed Bitter
at his home in Dunkirk, four miles
southeast of town. Last Saturday he
was taken sick with the grippe, which
on Monday developed into pneumonia,
but he was thought to be doing we'll
until Friday when change for the
worse became apparent, and he eX-
pired at $50 O'Clock Saturday morning.
Justice Gilbert imposed fine of 500
and costs or six months Imprisonment
on Clarence Sheldrup, convicted of run
ming blind pig. Immediately thereon
the defense appealed the case to the
municipal court of Dane county. Wit
nesses for the state were Lars Larson

mitted that President Herman Gullick
son of the Anti-Saloon League promised
to repay them for their services. Each
secured pint of brandy on Dec 18th
from the defendant and paid Is cents
apiece far their bottles.
The difficulties between the fire de-
partment of this city and the common

fines the fremen ''would quit their
Jobs" was settled peacefully Tuesday
night. Each fireman will receive $35
annually. The department will be cut
down to SO men, three less than it's
present enrolment. Fines of 81 for
being absent from fire and so cents
for not attending the monthly meet
ings, will be imposed The assessing
of fines was left to the department,
Money accrued on fines will be used to
defray expenses of cleaning hose after
fire and doing fire-watch. Any sur
plus will be divided amongst the mem
bers of the department. This is the
point won by the department in its
wrangle. The department will be cut
down to SO men at the annual meeting
on March Goth.

Spending of $142,000,00O was author.
lied in three appropriation bills passed
by the house in short time The
measures were the naval bill, the dip
lomatic bill, and the fertilization bill.

would have consumed nine or ten leg

an appropriation of $I33OOO,U00 The
Notifications bill authorizes expendi-
lures approximating $5,320,000, and
the diplomatic bill makes available
the sum of $4,O56,000.
The naval bill, as it finally passed.

and eight-hour amendments injected
into it recently.
