Big Bunch Caught in Marshal Dunn's
Dragnet.

Complaint had reached the authorl-
ties that there was altogether too much
petty gambling going on about town
among the younger generation as well
as the more mature men and Marshal
Dunn choose Sunday last as good time
to see what could be done about it.
Armed with little assistance he threw
out his dragnet and swooped down upon
a half dozen crap games in boxcars,
lumber yard and warehouses and gath
cred in list that kept Justice Jensen
busy for several days in administering
the proper remedy. About thirty,
mostly boys, but some men that ought
to be in better business, were in1lvld-
ually given fines ranging from SIS to $40
and costs. The raid has thrown good
scare into the amateur gamblers and it
is hoped will result in putting an end to
this open violation of law, for the next
offense will receive more radical treat
ment in the courts.

Mrs. La Toilette Talks for Suffrage
Friday, Oct. Fl, 1887.

Mrs. r. M. LaFollette favored Ed
gerton with brief address on woman
suffrage Friday afternoon after filling
a speaking date at Albion earlier in
the day. Although no previous an
nouncement Of her coming had been
made, an audience of probably 100 or
more gathered at The Carlton hotel and
listened to half-hour appeal for suf-
frage.
Mrs. LaFollette claimed that the
same arguments that entitled men to
vote should entitle women to vote.
There are three great matters in which
we are all OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, educa-
ton and government. In religion men
and women share equally Indeed, men
sometimes are content that women
should do more than their share). In
education it has come to pass that both
men and women participate equally,
though that was not always so. 1t is
less than two generations that our high
schools have been open to women upon
the same terms as to men.
cit isn't going to make the woman
less womanly any more than it makes
the man less manly to vote, +" said Mrs.
LaFollette. Instead it is going to
make her more womanly to have her
part in the general uplift of humanity. .

Athletic Work in EdgertOn.

Athletic work in Edgerton has mani
rested wonderful development within
the past few years. That spirit did
not become practical until after it had
begun to work its wonders in other
nearby cities; let us hasten to affirm,
wholly because the people here were
either ignorant of or Indifferent to its
physical power and the hold it seemed
70 have taken upon the other adjoining
towns, but rather because the city had
no place for the young men and the
business men to meet, but after the
new Child high school, with its beauti-
Iul gymnasium, was installed the fell
lows We're quick to catch the new spirit
OF athletic sports for the benefit of all
who joined the club. All members are
now doing magnificent work, and the
organization does not lack in enthusi-
asm and their success lies in duplicat-
ing the enthusiasm of the larger gym
nasiums and learning their methods.
Not only do they accomplish much def
mite and traceable benefit but they in
cite to greater activity every jealous
member and increase his power to such
an extent as results in more and better
accomplishments on his own account.
These sports are of very varied char
acter, and include boxing for the quick
ness of the eye, Maze Running or
Physical Training Tactics" for the
cultivation of close feeling, posture.
accuracy, ETC.; ring swinging exercise
for strengthening muscles of the Shout
der and abdomen. Other sports in
dulged in are such as basket hall, in
door base ball, jumping, swinging over
vaulting standards, Indian club exer
cises, wrestling, throwing and 9 pound
medicine balls, use of striking medi-
cine balls, spring wall exercises which
strengthen and develop fingers, hands,
wrists, arm and forearm, cures cramps
and stiffness of joints. These exercises
are all followed by a shower bath and
good coarse towel rundown.

Cheese the Big Thing at Brodhead.

The cheese business in Brodhead is a
great big growing business, of vastly
more Importance than the average citi-
zen realizes. The past years business
amounted to close to eight millions of
pounds, and 90 per cent of this is con-
centrated here before the outgoing
shipments are made. This means that
in the neighborhood of seven million
pounds are shipped in by rail and placed
in the cold storage warehouse before
shipped. The local dealers take the
bulk of the cheese manufactured in this
immediate vicinity and goodly amount
from the factories in the adjoining
counties. A million dollar cheese mar
ket puts Brodhead on the map COM
mercially at least and the transactions
have no little part in the commercial
life of the community. Register.

Rural Carriers Weighing Mail.

An order has been received at the
local post office from the post office de-
partment at Washington that each
morning before starting on their re-
spective routes the rural mail carriers
are to weigh and classify each piece of
mail allotted to their route. The order
went into effect October l and is to be
tried for sixty days, or until Deem
Der 1.
There is considerable speculation as
to the reason of the above order but it
is in connection with the parcels post
to be established January l. The de-
partment wants to find the weight of
matter carried on the routes to further
find the cost for parcels post.

Edgerton Electric Co. to Extend Its
Service to MELVILLE.

A deal was closed last week whereby
the local electric company extends its
light and power service to MELVILLE.
This wide-awake farming community is
the first in this vicinity to build an cleo
trio line so as to be able to avail itself
of central station light and power. It
is reported that R. Else & Son have
already contracted for a number OF
motors to run their creamery, and a
number of farmers are to be connected
at once for light and power.
Thus it is that the luXuries of yester-
day are the necessities of today and the
day is rapidly approaching when net
work of electric transmission lines
throughout the country will supply
farms as we'll as cities with the ideal
light and power.
