Sunday morning near Syene while go

Our city was thrown into deep grief
last Monday by a telegram announcing
the sudden death from hemorrhage of
the stomach of Arthur M. Webb of this
city, who had been at Battle Creek
sanitarium for about ten days. 1t APP
pears that he had, for several years,
been afflicted with stomach ulcers which
had lately developed alarming symp-
toms, causing many hemorrhages, more
or less severe. About week before
his death he had severe hemorrhage
at the sanitarium and preparations had
been made for an operation when the
last and fatal hemorrhage occurred.
AS Mr.. Webb had no relatives here,
arrangements were made to transport
the body to his old home, Arcadia,
Wis.
Justus T. Moak passed quietly away
at the home of his niece, Mrs. L. B.
Caswell Jr., Wednesday, Feb. 26, 1918,
after lingering illness. Mr.. Moak
was born on Feb. a, 1880, at Sharon,
Schoharie county, N. Y. On Sept. z,
1853, he was married to Eliza III. Pearce
at New Hartford, N Y. On the eth
of last November Mrs. Moak passed
away. Mr.. Moak took the loss of his
wife so much to heart that he could
scarcely rally and there is littld doubt
that it FASTENED his own death. He
came to Wisconsin from New York in
1854 and settled in the city of Water
town where he was engaged for the
next seven years as drygoods mer-
chant He was appointed postmaster
of WATERFOWL by President Andrew
Johnson in March, 1867, and served
continually for "a years until the Cleve-
land administration. He was mem
Der of the city council of Watertown
for great many years and about ten
years ago was elected mayor of that
city.

c.. Christensen of this city has been
notified of the death of his nephew,
Christen Sannes, at Houghton, Mich.
Mr. Sannes is we'll known here, having
conducted music studio here several
years ago.
Funeral services for John Brunsell,
who passed away Thursday evening,
were held at o'clock at the home four
miles south of Cooksville and at the
Norwegian Lutheran church of Cooks
vile at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Brunsell had suffered from the
cancer which caused his death since
last May.
At no time in the history of Slough
ton saloons was there more drunken
ness than can be seen in certain local.
ties at the present time under no
license. Whether this is the result of
the numerous clubs or the patronage OF
other points, where saloons obtain, is
the question. At any rate, fines are
becoming a weekly if not daily oc-
currence on the the charges of drunk
enness and disorderly conduct. Madi-
son, with seven times the population,
has no more arrests on these charges
than Stoughton.
The fore part of last month we pub
lished the excellent record made by the
twelve Rhode Island Red pullets owned
by Ed Hildebrandt of the Stoughton
steam laundry. Mr.. Hildebrandt in
forms us that since the item appeared
several have called at the laundry and
have expressed their doubts as to the
veracity of the record, thus practically
putting him in the same class with
the spinners of fish stories. AS Mr..
Hildebrandt has only the twelve pullets
and as he makes daily record of the
eggs laid, his figures can be taken as
absolutely correct His fowls seem to
be keeping up the pace, for during the
month of February they laid a total of
221 eggs, which makes an average of
eight eggs per day, or about 49, eggs
per pullet for the month.

Ezra Goodrich celebrated his 87th
birthday Monday and in honor of the
event he and his wife spent the day at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. S. Carr,

unless the inflammation can be taken out
