Obituary.
MRS. ANNIE MOORE.


Mrs. Annie Moore, daughter of Nora
and Thomas Kelley, was born at Gal
way, Ireland, Nov. 2, 1885, and passed
to her eternal rest on Aug. Z, 1914, at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. Laura
Langworthy, at Edgerton.
Deceased came to America when II
years of age and was united in the holy
bonds of matrimony to George Moore
at New York in 1853. Four years later
Mr. and Mrs. Moore moved to Wiscon-
sin and settled in Mount Vernon for a
short time. Later they took up claim
of government land which is now known
as the Moore homestead, where Mr..
Moore passed away on March Is, 1893.
After the death of her beloved COM
panion Mrs. Moore again bought q
home in Mount Vernon where she lived
for some years and later went to live
with her children who tenderly cared
for her until her demise.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moore were blessed by
the birth of six children: Mrs. Alice
Rea of Mount Vernon, Mrs. Laura
Langworthy of Edgerton, Mr.. William
Moore of Burke, Mr.. Frank Moore of
Mount Vernon, Mrs. Ella Rea of Ed
gerton and Clara, who died December
3, 1893. Besides the above named chill
dren, one sister, Mrs. Mary Casey of
Minneapolis, eight grandchildren, three
Observation-Disclosures and host of other
relatives and friends still live to mourn
their sad loss.
Mrs. Moore was christened and unit
ed with the Catholic church in Ireland
and she has always been true to her
church, although often deprived of at
tending the services because of the
distance of the nearest church of her
faith. Funeral services would have
been held at her own church except for
the inconvenience Of the distance be-
tween the church and the family burial
place.
The remains were taken from Edger-
ton on Saturday afternoon to the home
of her son, Mr.. Frank Moore, and on
Sunday morning at 10 O'Clock funeral
services were conducted by Rev. Way
land A. Nickerson at the Baptist church
which was filled with loving friends
who came to pay the last tribute of
love- The many beautiful flowers
which were banked around the casket
told of the respect held for the de-
ceased. The remains were tenderly
borne by her two sons, William and
Frank Moore, her grandson, George
Moore Jr., and three sons-in-law, La
mont Langworthy and George and Will
liam Rea, to the Mount Vernon ceme-
terry and laid to rest by the side of her
beloved companion.

Tobacco notes

H. S. McGifin and L. w. Persons,
with the American Cigar Co. at Sparta,
made an auto trip through the southern
tobacco sections during the week.
Mr.. Paul Hirschhorn, with the United
Cigar Manufacturers Co., came on from
New York the latter part of the week
for few days stay in this market.
The interstate commerce commission
has directed the Chicago & Northwest
ern railroad to refund 1926 to L. B.
Carl & Son on account of overcharges
on leaf tobacco from GAINESVILLE, Wis,
to Memphis, Tenn. The Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis rail-
way has been directed to repay 81. SO to
Haskins & Schwartz on account of ex-
cessive freight rates on leaf tobacco
from Cincinnati to GAINESVILLE, Wis.

Cost OF Insurance in EdgertOn.

The state insurance department has
furnished us statistics showing that
there has been paid out in Edgerton for
fire insurance premiums the past three
years $125, 865. so and the losses paid
during the same period were SO, 904. 40,
or 1877 per cent of the cost of the in
surance. It will thus be seen that it
costs nice tidy sum to carry the in
surance risks on the property of Edger-
ton. The department also observes
that remarkably good showing is
made by the state of Wisconsin with
regard to fire losses. This cannot fail
to be due in large part to the active
and efficient work of the fire depart
ments in making inspections to prevent
fires. Begun in this state some time
ago, it is now required all over the
state under the law passed two years
ago. This work costs but very little in
addition to the regular cost of the fire
department, and the city councils and
village boards can we'll afford to be lib
eral in making necessary provision for
doing this work most thoroughly. The
cost is trifing compared with the saw
ing in possible fires, and even compared
with the ordinary fires from year to
year. Besides, as this work is carried
or, and perfected from year to year,
the property owners will benefit i'm
mensely in reduced fire insurance pre-
miums. In this connection the public
should be given to understand that it is
the intention of the insurance depart
ment to insist that premiums be re-
duced accordingly, and to ask for the
necessary legislation which will bring
this about.
In the line of tornado insurance, how
ever, the amount paid out in losses in
the tobacco sections of the state will
exceed the premiums received for
good many years to come.

Result of Picnic Races.

1t was unfortunate that the dates Sc
lected for the 7. A. & B. picnic and
races fell at time when the farmers
were especially busy with their harvest
and threshing and also in week of ex-
IRENE heat and insufferable dust, else
the attendance might have been up to
that Of other years. AS it was the
total attendance of both days fell only
about $50 short of last year. The ball
games that opened the program of each
day were somewhat of disappoint-
ment because of their one-sidedness
and rather loose playing. The game
on Wednesday between the Cambridge
and Whitewater teams was won by
Whitewater in a score of to /. The
GAINESVILLE Cardinals fairly ran away
with the local team on Thursday. With
the Milton pitcher, Crandall, in the
box the Edgerton men were helpless
at the bat and were also unable to stop
the smuggling of the visitors. The score
was Is to 2.
A fine field of horses, however, were
entered at the races and those of We'd
nesday especially closely contested and
interesting.

Thrilling Time
 On Stikine

Taa Silver Fox came in port last Friday with F. C, Schumacher and R. Howard on board. Sch umacner and Howard had one of the narr0west escapes that is poss- ible from droWnding in the Stikiue. It seems they were making their way to the upper part of the river and coming to the Big Bend took the short cut to get to Barley Cache sooner, and when nearly through the steamer Port Simpson was sighted the boys started their boat for the shore to get out of the way Of the Simpson, and managed to run along side Of an old log jam Just as the steamer went by. The swelis from the steamer hit the gas boat and first filled it half full of water and c9psized her and she went under just giving the boys time to get on the Jam. The wreck happened about noon Tuesday and
 from that time until the Silver Fox
 was sighted aboutfour o'clock Fri day afternoon the boys were mar ooned on the jam without thing to eat and only the clothes they had on. The boys were expecting the Winifred along every day so at first did not make an effort to get away
 but when Friday came and no Win fired they started to build at raft to float down the river in, as they had
 no ax, they dragged logs up to their fire and burnedtthem in two heating
 alders with which to fasten them to
 gether. After being brought to
 town the boys are little the worse
 for their narrow escape,
