Sheriff C. S. Whipple will be the new

sane asylum and poor farm, succeed
ing D. M. Barlass on January 1, 1915.
Superintendent D. M. Barlass, who
has had active management of the
county institution since 1909, handed In
his resignation to the board of trustees
several months ago, anticipating it
would take effect on July l. When the
trustees decided to offer the position to
Mr. Whipple it was arranged that he
would finish out his term as sheriff and
assume his new duties at the end Of
that time. Mr. and Mrs. Barlass then
agreed to continue in charge of the
asylum and farm until Mr.. Whipple can
succeed him, which agreement, it is
understood, has met with the approval
of the state board of control.
Mr.. Whipple is we'll qualified for the
position to which he has been appoint
ed. In addition to his experience as
sheriff and as patrolman on the Beloit
police force, which covers 20 years, he

work, as he was raised on farm and

Fire DESTROYS Barn.

Fire, the origin of which is shrouded
in mystery, last Friday evening COM
pletely destroyed large barn on the
farm Of Mrs. Sigvart Olson, mother of
Asst. Cashier Oscar L. Olson, of the
Citizens National bank. Mrs Olson,
whose son Adolph took a part in the
senior class play that evening, was at
the Auditorium, as were her other chill
dren, and milking had been done early,
so there had been no light of any kind
in or near the barn. The fire was dis
covered at about 9:45 from the home of
Mrs. Conrad Olson, a mile north of the
Sigvart Olson place in Hanerville, and
neighbors hurried to the scene and sue
ceeded in taking out the three horses
in the barn, although not before the
flames had just about reached the
stalls. Three calves were burned, and
the other contents, consisting of about
20 tons of hay and 300 bushels of oats.
The structure was 38x66 feet, and the
loss is estimated at about $4,000. The
amount of insurance is not known. -

School DAYS Are Over.

The exercises of commencement
week of the Edgerton High School
which are being held this week, has at
tracted more than ordinary interest
among the parents and friends of the
young people who have have completed
their high school education.
On Sunday evening Rev. Philip
Gregory delivered the baccalaureate
sermon before the graduating class at
the Congregational church. His SER
mon was one calculated to inspire high
ideals and great achievements in the
minds of the young.
The class of 1914 presented "The
Ulster" at Royal hall, Monday evening
before a crowded house, which we hear
commonly reported to be the best class
play given in years. There was ap-
parently happy selection of the cast
nearly all of which were we'll taken,
showing a deal of painstaking drill.
Clayton Hubbell, who played the part
of Mr.. Valentine Flipper, retired
merchant, with a second wife and sub
tie secret, rendered his difficult role
with more than average skill. Charles
Mcintosh, who played the part of Will
mington, Mr.. Flipper's son by former
marriage, and who was speeches. be-
fore his father, acted his part well.
Prof. Barton, ''Barton's System of
Development, F." very deaf, was played
by Harold Sutton and made character
which frightened the play and kept the
audience merry at all times. Richard
Brown took the part of Godfrey, Mr..
Barton's son, and Clara Thompson,
Geoffrey's sister, all deserve favorable
mention. Margaret Chamberlain and
Marion Doty, who played the parts of
Mrs. Flipper and Mrs. Barton respec-
lively, played them with much skill.
| Between acts the audience was favor
ed with music by the orchestra.
Class night at the same place Tues
day night presented the following pro-
gram:
Piano Solo-Doris Clarke.

Also little play, "My Aunt's Heir
ess, by eleven Of the girl graduates
proved quite entertaining.
The graduating exercises took place
Wednesday evening with the principal
address given by Dr.. E. B. Rogers.
His topic, 'The Object of an Educa-
ton, not a Living but Life, . gave
opportunity for strong popular adj
dress that was intensely pleasing to a
large audience. The valedictory by
Glenn Gardiner was especially fine.
The largest class ever graduated
from our high school were presented
diplomas as follows:

HEART WOUNDS NOT FATAL
Modern Surgeon Operates, and the
Results Have Been Satisfactory
Almost Beyond Belief.

There seems to be no limit TO the
wonderful things modern surgery can
accomplish. Recently DR., Francis
Stewart of Philadelphia reported FIVE
cases in which he had been obliged
to sew up the heart after stab wounds.
All the patients recovered. One Of
them lived for FIVE years and then
sucoumber to pulmonary tuberculosis.
The difficulties OF this operation
call for wonderful technique and skin.
Clots are liable to form and when
swept into the circulation the patient
dies as II shot through the brain.
Constant motion of the organ calls
for a quick eye and rapid, steady
work. II is interesting to note that
at the present time one-half Of all
such cases coming into the hospitals
are saved.
A Partisan surgeon restored heart
action in a case of actual death The
patient was killed by an automobile.
Believing that something could be
done the surgeon ordered the patient
TO be put upon the operating table
half an hour after death had been pro-
nounced. The chest cavity was open
ed in so seconds pint Of blood was
found in the heart sac from a wound
in the heart muscle two and a half
inches long. This blood was removed
the heart was sewn up, and massage
was begun. In few minutes the
pulse was felt at the wrist. The heart
continued to beat more than half an
hour and then stopped. 1t was found
at autopsy that injuries to other or
gans had been too great for recov-
cry. which would t-ve been certain
had the heart alone been involved.

Best of Fire Alarm Boxes.

After work extending over two
years, officials of New York city have
devised a fire alarm box which has
been dedicated to the use of New
York without royalty and it is eX
pected that the cost under competitive
bidding will not exceed $45. The
price Of fire alarm boxes during the
last several years under competitive
bidding has run from SIS to $175 each
The average price has been s125 each
The estimated saving, therefore, will
be $50 a box. The fire department
experts have finished their box just
in time to meet the needs of the city,
as only six per cent. of the boxes are
modern, the rest being obsolete and
many being in an unsafe and even
dangerous condition.
