Spring Election Results.

Only once before was there SO large
a vote cast at municipal election in
Edgerton as there was on Tuesday last,
when total of 586 votes were polled,
this too, taken in a year when there
was practically no floating vote here to
swell the returns. A license campaign
which had been carried on quietly and
mainly through circulars addressed to
voters is quite likely responsible for
the large vote, for, excepting for
single office, that of treasurer, there
was no contest for the city officers
to be chosen. In this contest the
friends of H. H. Dickinson rallied
strongly to the support: of an old and
respected citizen returning him. to the
office by the largest vote he ever re-
ceived. AS result Edgerton will con-
tinue to license saloons another year,
the vote being: For license, 1872;
against license, 245, majority of 81.
For mayor, J. M. Conway, who had no
opposition, received 478 votes. For
treasurer, H. H. Dickinson received

Insurance Cost of Pollard Block Fire.

From reports made to the Edgerton
fire department it may be seen that the
recent fire in the Pollard block cost the
different insurance agencies carrying
the risks the total sum of S1l, lO9. 55.
As this sum is believed to cover the
loss sustained by all parties interested,
it can readily be seen that the loss is
nowhere near as large as was first re-
ported. Thesamount paid by the diff
ferent agencies is as follows:
