Spring Elections.
Friday, April II, 1890.

With no visible contest in sight for
any of the city Offices to be filled, the
election on Tuesday was the tamest af-
fair seen in Edgerton for many year.
Not quite half the normal vote in the
city was polled and the election officials
had quiet and peaceful day of it with
plenty of time to discuss politics, re-
ligion or the weather. The ticket bore
but one candidate for each office and
but for some cutting done for justice
and alderman there might have been a
clean score to record. The aldermen
elected were J. O. Arthur, Oscar Jen-
son and Aug. Dallman. The old super
visors, E. C. Hopkins, George Doty
and Henry Ebbott were returned. John
Dave was reelected Justice. George
Rea, M. H. Ford and VIM. Stewart
were elected constables
FULTON.
A contest over several offices in the
town of Fulton brought out large
vote. Peter Anderson was reelected
chairman over John Sherman by vote
of 1876 to SO. Other supervisors were
Henry Arthur and John Kealey; clerk,
0. P. Murwin; treasurer, VIM. Willie;
assessor, Grant Walrath.

were reelected: C.. D. Mccarthy,

Annual Cleanup Movement.

A spring cleanup movement is be-
coming almost national in it's character
for thousands of cities, civic leagues,
women's clubs and other organizations
have taken hold to push along the
slogan 'Clean Up and Paint Up" that
is attracting widespread public interest
everywhere. 1t is an educational cam
paign to instill into the minds of peo-
pie that cleanliness will make cleaner
and brighter community. In Milwau-
kee the cleanup bureau has gotten out
button for members of it's numerous
clubs organized among the schools.
Among the precepts which are called
to the special attention of the young
are these:
Do not throw anything on sidewalks
or streets.
Do not mark or deface sidewalks,
fences, buildings or public property.
Brighten up yourself, brighten up
your home and spread the cleanup and
brighten up spirit among your friends.
Do not allow rubbish to accumulate
about your homes.
Do not let piles of ashes or trash re-
main in backyards.
Make your back yard as clean as
your front yard; clean up, fix up, paint
up.
Destroy breeding places for flies;
make flower beds and sow grass seed;
make garden and encourage the love
of nature, sunshine and fresh air.
The first district federation of club
women have recommended ten COM
mandments tc good citizenship as fol-
lows:
l. Thou shalt know thy city and
keep its laws.
2. Remember thy cleaning day and
keep it holy.
3. Thou shalt love and cherish thy
children and provide for them decent
homes and Fairgrounds.
q. Thou shalt not keep thy windows
closed day or night.
5. Thou shalt not kill thy children's
bodies with poisonous air, nor their
souls with bad companions.
5. Thou shalt keep order in thy al
legs, thy back yard, thy hall and stair
way.
Z. Thou shalt not let the wicked fly
live.
8. Thou shalt not steal thy children's
right to happiness from them.
9. Thou shalt bear witness against
thy neighbors' rubbish heap.
10. Thou shalt covet all the air and
sunlight thou canst obtain.
1t is natural for visitors to size up
town by its appearance. A dirty, rusty
town appeals to nobody. How much of
civic cleanliness will the people of Ed
gerton assimilate? The time is at hand
when we should put in practice some
of these precepts above outlined. Let
everybody help.
