Obituary.
ALBERT E. RICE

Albert Ellsworth Rice was born in
SyIvania, Ohio, Nov. IL. 1843. His
mother, Lucy Green Rice, died while
he was little, and his father, Josiah
Rice, was soon crippled with paralysis.
At eleven, virtually an orphan, he fell
to the care of an older sister, Mrs.
Vickery, with whom he came to Fulton,
Wisconsin.
The martial music of '61 called him
from the plough field to his country's
in Co. A., 18th Wisconsin Infantry at
at GAINESVILLE, Sept 6, 1861. Among all
the men who wore the blue, none were
more brave and none more true. He
received honorable discharged at San
Antonio, Texas, November "a, 1866.
He was united in marriage to Miss
Lucia Carey, of Dunkirk, Dane county,
March 5th, 1875. The first three years
of their married life was spentin Iowa,
one on farm and two in the city Of
Marshalltown. 1t was here the first
great sorrow marred their happy life.
Their first and only child was suddenly
taken from them After this they re-
turned to Wisconsin and for two years
lived on farms east and north of Edg-
erton, and then purchased the Vaughn
farm one mile south of Fulton. Here
the second and lasting aff1iction came
upon them. Mrs. Rice became an in
valid with rheumatism and for thirty
years has suffered from that and other
Affections. For the past twelve years
they have lived in modest little home
in the west part of the city.
No knight of chivalry ever more
richly deserved eulogy than this loving
and steadfast husband who for thirty
years has patiently and loveingly cared
for the invalid wife.
He died Wednesday morning, March
7, 1916. Funeral services were con-
Quoted by the side of his loving, suffer
ing wife by Rev. Hooten, Friday at 2

His brother-in-law, C. B. Carey and

mains to Fassett cemetery. Every man
that knew him was friend. and this
brave man has passed the long roll.

Bakery Threatened By Fire

A kettle of hot grease used in frying
doughnuts in the Swift street bakery
caught fire about 2 o'clock Thursday
morning that for short time threat
ened to destroy the Mawhinney block,
occupied by the City Laundry, Thos.
Gaarder's bakery and Max Swerdlof's
general store. The night baker in
stantly sent in an alarm and warned
the families quartered over these build
ings, while quick response from the
department held the flames in the work
room, though the, fire got between the
ceiling and the floor above that took
some time to quench. The loss from
smoke and water will amount to few
hundred dollars, which is quite likely
protected by insurance.

War Prices Boosts Drugs.

Three principal reasons exist for the
rise of the price of drugs and chemic-
ais since the war. One is the embargo
placed by the nations at war upon COM
modities in use at home; the second is
the enormous demand that exists for
certain common chemicals that are util
lied in the manufacture of explosives;
and the third is the demand in the mill
itary hospitals on the continent for an
tiseptic drugs and chemicals.
When it is considered that the drugs
and chemicals that hold the place in
our daily lives as do carbolic acid,
aspirin, phenacetine, antipyrine, nap
thaline, and resorcin, are all coal tar
derivatives, and that one of the largest
coal tar refining works in the WORLD is
located in Eberfield, Germany, and the
other important reineries are In Eng
land from which countries we import
practically nothing, the soaring prices
of common drugs can be readily under
stood.
Carbolic acid, which besides being
is coveted in England as base for
many high explosives, and as disin-
fectant in the military hospitals, is nine
times as high in price now as it was
before the war.
Aspirin, used quite universally for
headaches, is two and one-half times as
costly as before the war, and phenace-
tine, a sister product of coal tar, and
oIc e. hos TO
ly is produced almost exclusively in
Germany, and sells for seventeen times
as much now as it normally did before
the war;
Antipyrine, third sister product of
coal tar, and in great demand for the
treatment of grip, is 18 times as high In
price as before the war.
| Napthaline, the substance of which
common moth balls are made has risen
to five times it's normal cost.
Among the other chemicals that have
scared in price probably due indirectly
to the war are: Belladonna, used ex-
clusively in optical work, and made in
Germany. which has increased nine
times the normal in price; licorice, got
largely from Russia, double in price;
salol, the base of which is carbolic acid
and used as intestinal antiseptic, in
creased to seven times normal; salicy-
lie acid, used in treatment of rheuma-
tism, increased to ten times normal;
EPSON salts, made in Germany largely,
doubled in price; Russian oil, a refined
liquid vaseline, and in popular use as a
laxative of late, increased to two and
one-half times normal; creosote, from
Germany, sixteen times normal. Sage,
citric acid and castor oil are also much
higher. Quinine, which three months
ago was ten times normal in price, has
now dropped to four times normal.

The Sheffield stock of dry goods
was sold by C. w. Birkenmeyer, as
signee, at the Doty store Wednesday
morning, at auction, to J. M. Tovrog,
of Chicago, for SIS, 10000, or just about
so cents on the dollar on an inventory
amounting to $11, 900. S240 of unpaid
accounts were sold to Frank Brown.
Little Miss Gwendolyn Watson cele-
brated her 7th birthday by entertaining
her the little girls in the first grade in
school, at the home of her parents.
Roger Watson and wife, last Tuesday
afternoon Refreshments were served
and all passed few hours pleas antly.
Many beautiful presents were given her
as a reminder of the occasion.
AT the annual business meeting of
the Edgerton band Friday evening the
following officers were elected for the
year: President, Fred Maves; treasurer,
John Dickerson; director, r. Stricken.
Friday evenings were chosen as practice
nights and as several new members
have Joined the organization, the work
of putting the band in shape for the
season will commence at once.
The township election law was con-
siderably changed by the last legislature
providing where two or more candidates
for town officers were voted for at the
town caucus, the names of the two re-
ceiving the greater number of votes
shall go on the ballot. The old pro-
vision that candidates may get on the
ticket by petition is still inforce. The
caucus should be held nine days before
the election.
The insurance losses occasioned by
the fire last week have been very nearly
adjusted, all except the Titus drug store
loss, where the inventory is not yet
complete, but practically agreed upon.
Invariably the settlements have been
entirely satisfactory to the insured.
The Pollard estate were paid about
$1,000; D. D. Brown in the neighborhood
of $1,000; C. H. Hitchcock, $500 on his
stock; Edgerton Cigar Co. $500 on stock
alone; Dallman Drug Co., water dam
age, $500; Ratzlaff Bros. and Shumway
slight payment on water damage, and
Mrs. Mccarthy has been taken care of
by ample insurance. The total amount
which the fire will cost the insurance
companies will scarcely exceed So, 900,
all told. Viewed from all sides the fire
has proven one of the most fortunate
ones ever experienced in Edgerton. All
the property involved was amply
covered by insurance and all will be
recompensed for their loss. Better
buildings will replace those damaged
and the Improvements will add to the
attractiveness of the street. It is so
rare that fires do not cause personal
loss that such conditions are worthy of
comment.
