Cambridge

Clarence Jarlsberg, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. M. M. Jarlsberg, has been ap-
pointed carrier on route A. Mr.. Jarls-
berg had gone to Dakota to work, but
plans to come back and take up his
new work next week.
Kenneth Stetson, a former Cambridge
boy, is now with division of the U. s..
navy on the west coast of Mexico. In
letter written on March "a he stated
that all was quiet there and that the
crew knew little of the Mexican trou-
bles.
Some time Tuesday night the store
of Slagg & Co. was entered, presum-
ably by someone having key, and cash
to the amount of about $25 stolen from
the till. Several articles of jewelry
were also taken. Mrs. Johnson discov-
cred the theft when she first came
down in the morning, but no signs of
forcible entrance could be found and it
seems probable that the burglary is the
work of local talent acquainted with
the place and aware of the fact that
Mr. Johnson usually left a bag of sill
yer in the drawer. Burned matches
were found about the jewelry case
where several articles had been taken.

State bank of Brooklyn, passed away
suddenly at his home Sunday evening
between 7 and o'clock. Mr.. Wack-

business in Dayton. For the past seven
or eight years he has been cashier OF
the Brooklyn bank. He is survived by
his widow and three sons, Phillip,

Arthur E. Powers of this city was
found guilty of deserving his wife and
six children, when arraigned in Judge
Maxfeld's court at GAINESVILLE Satur-
day. He was sentenced to two years
at Waupun, but later the sentence was
suspended and defendant was placed
under the State Board of Control for
two years. He was committed to the

Fire, starting about 1920 Wednesday
night, destroyed the house on the old
Sumner Frost place in Union, for the
past few years owned by Frank Frost:
The house was occupied by G. Lutz and
wife and two children, who had retired
for the night. Thinking they detected
gas from the stove, the family arose
and upon going to the kitchen found
the house on fire. By prompt action
they succeeded in saving some of the
furniture downstairs and few things
upstairs, but the flames spread rapidly
to other parts of the house and it was
not long until it was reduced to ashes.
1t is thought the fire originated from a
brooder.

FREIGHT EMBARGO
GOES GLIMMERING
LOCAL RAILWAY OFFICIAL NOTI-
FLED THAT ALL GOODS WILL
BE ACCEPTED.
SATISFACTION EXPRESSED
PROPOSED EIGHT-HOUR DAY
MAY MEAN MORE FAMILIES
FOR MADISON.

Business will not be demoralized
or even retarded. for the present at
least, by a railway strike, according
to advices received this forenoon at
the Madison offices of the Milwau-
kee railway system.
j. M. Moore, chief train dispatcher
for the railway here, was notified by
telegraph that the embargo placed
by the company last Wednesday on
live stock and perishable goods had
been called off, and that freight of
all kinds will be received today and
Monday as usual. Notice was also
given that instructions to var pros
pective passengers that they might be
put TO inconvenience in reaching
their destinations had been Cancelled.
Although it is generally supposed
that the impending eight-hour law
has had the effect OF assuring unob-
structed rail traffic, no explanation
was given i'm the company kilograms.
Railway trainmen who make their
Headquarters here said they probably
would be officially notified of a can
collation. of their strike order during
the day.
News that the strike had been
called off or at least postponed "a
received in the city with acclaim.
Business men generally expressed JOY
at the prospects for an amicable sell
Element. and railway men are jubi-
LIANT over the eleventh hour turn in
affairs. They declare that they have
won a signal victory. and that the
stand taken by the officers of their
organizations was the only one pos
sible under the circumstances
At the local offices of the Milwau-
kee railway it is said that it will
probably be some weeks before a new
schedule to conform with new regu-
lations, which will be made neces-
sary if an eight-hour day is adhered
to. IAN be put into effect.
An eight-hour day will probably
result i'm the bringing to Madison of
more trainmen. 1t is believed that
so far as possible single time
wages will be paid. which would
necessitate The adding Of men. In
creased pay, under the wage SEIZED

WILL CLOSE Stores
MERCHANTS AGREE TO SUSPEND
BUSINESS THURSDAY IN
TIME FOR RACES.

As an incentive to residents and
visitors to attend the fair on that
day and to permit their staffs TO at
tend the big exhibition IN after
noon, Madison stories will close
their doors next Thursday afternoon.
The question of asking merchants
to close their places of business two
afternoons, as was done at some
Iowa county fairs this year, was at
first considered. The dealers unani-
mously decided to close n after
noon. William Rowland, secretary
of the Madison Merchants's associa-
ton waited on the merchants early
this afternoon. The first thirty-five
dealers called upon volunteered to
close Thursday from 1:30 o'clock
until 5 O'Clock, which will give am
pie time for witnessing the races and
attractions.
The merchants decision to close
lead officers of the fair today to re-
mark that with favorable weather
obtaining, a record breaking crowd
should pass through the gates.
