Teachers Sudden Death.

The community was greatly shocked
to learn of the sudden death of Miss
Edna Strasberg of this city, employed
as teacher in the Hardware district,
three miles west of town, on Tuesday
evening. The particulars as given US
are that on closing the school Miss
StrasDerg told her pupils that she
would not go to her boarding place at
the John Cruise farm, but would re-
main for box social that was to take
place at the school house that evening.
The scholars who first arrived at the
school house found their teacher lying
dead on the floor and spread the news
to the neighborhood. DR.. Shearer was
called and his examination led to the
conclusion that heart failure was the
cause of her death. There was no evil
dence whatever of any violence discov-
cred that would lead to a suspicious
cause. Miss Strasberg had the appear
ance of robust healthy girl and her
sudden death is to all her friends so
much of mystery.
The grief stricken parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Strasberg, have the sympa-
thy of the entire community in their
affection.

Twenty two girl friends of Edna

suitable gift in token of their esteem.
Buy at home this Christmas. Keep
prosperity in this town Everybody
wants to see his town prosper, and we
all want to share in the fruits of that
prosperity. Even the fellow who hab-
itually sends out of town for his goods
wants his full quota Of the riches that
are accumulated through the thrift and
husbandry of his fellow citizens. Pro-
ducing and selling the surplus abroad
and then keeping our money at home
by buying from home dealers will add
many thousands of dollars to the money
in circulation in Edgerton. 1t is sure
way of meeting prosperity with open
arms and gathering in our share and a
little more for good lucl
The present system of building
county highways by piecemeal with all
kinds of material is likely to be COM
pletely changed in the future, if we
can Judge by the action of the recent
county boards throughout the state.
The federal aid held out to states for
more permanent roads is prompting
several of the counties Co lay out trunk
lines of expensive construction that
will first be built. The Dane county
board laid out number of these trunk
lines radiating from Madison, two of
which lead toward Edgerton, one via
Stoughton and the other through Cam
bridge south. In Rock county survey
was ordered between Beloit and James
vile with a view of asking state and
federal aid to make trunk line across
the county of permanent construction.
Sooner or later concrete highways will
be the popular thing.

There Thanksgiving Day.
The high school football champion
ship of the state is to be determined
Thanksgiving when Edgerton meets the
husky Lacrosse team for the final ath-
letic test. This paper is put to press
before the result is known.
The absorbing interest in this con-
test is almost state wide and our home
people have faith that we have win
ming team to the extent of hiring a.
special train for 800 mile trip to lend
encouragement and cheer their high
school boys. The loyal support Edger-
ton people have exhibited is another
demonstration that whatever is under
taken in this city it has a booster spirit
behind it that is in every way COM
mendable, and often the surprise and
envy of our neighbors.
The arrangements for special train,
including parlor car and diner, are now
complete. The schedule of the leaving
time from Edgerton is 7:30 a. m. which,
will permit of reaching Lacrosse arounda
1 p. m. The diner will serve$a Thanks
giving dinner, en- route and supper vre-
turning at 75c. : The guarantee of 100
fares has been secured and the Edger-1
ton band will also accompany the team.
Lacrosse will have an advantage Of
about ten pounds to the man when it
meets the Edgerton eleven in the game
at Lacrosse Thanksgiving day The
average weight Of the Lacrosse play
ers is 1913 pounds and that Of Edgerton
is between 157 and 158. Edgerton
1876 pound quarterback, Curran, and
Mcintosh at left end pull the average
down while LaCrosse's average is
boosted by Rudolph Batter, tackle,
who weighs 1876, and by his brother Ed
who weighs 1870. ...
Edgerron's record for the season
promises more than Lacrosse 8, for the
Tobacco City eleven has shown more
ability to score touchdowns. And work
ing on the highly fallible score method,
Edgerton seems to have. the edge. il

Iuents where their interests were III
