The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1917-04-06


birth of Mrs. Wille's mother, Mrs.
Barbara Buchta.
Will Tyler and wife, who have been
living in Stoughton the past winter
while Mr.. Tyler was employed in the
Carl Peters market, have returned to
their home in Edgerton.
Plans are being prepared for a
complete overhauling of Royal hall by
the Masonic order, the owners of the
property. The design is to rebuild the
opera house with raised seats and re-
model the lodge rooms on the second
story in an improvement that will in
volve the expenditure of possibly S10,
600 to $4,000. The front, too, will be
changed with some attractive design.
Judge Grimm has handed down his
decision in the income tax case of the
City of Edgerton VS.. Eisenlohr Bros,
argued before him recently, in which
he holds that the Eisenlohr firm were
entitled to an offset of personal prop
erty taxes paid, which was the gist of
the contention. The city, therefore,
will receive some $4,817.35 instead of
$14, 400. 70 which the state tax, commits
sion insisted should be collected.
Editor James G.. Schemerhorn of
the Detroit Times gave splendid tenn
perance address at Royal hall Saturday
evening, but be it said to the shame of
Edgerton there was scarcely more than
fifty people in the hall to hear it. If
there is much no-license sentiment in
our city it furnished very little encour-
agement to the brilliant speaker, the
attendance being made up largely of
w. C. T. u. ladies. Of course he came
on short notice but the friends of tenn
perance should have rallied a better at
tendance.
Some Of the finest western wethers
ever brought to the feeding yards here
for finishing for market have been for
warded, few cars each day, for the
past two weeks. These sheep aver
aged 1872 pounds in Chicago and have
been selling around $12.75, bringing the
owner $3.50 each, the highest price
ever obtained for large shipment. A
portion of these sheared yielded 81
pounds of wool worth nearly SO cents a
pound. There seems to be good money
in feeding sheep and lambs this year
despite the high price of feed.

"A crowded house greeted the en-
tertainment given by the High School
Girls Glee Club at Royal hall Thurs
day evening under the direction of the
musical department of the high school.
An orchestra made up of pupils rem
dered a fine introduction for the oper-
eta, ''The Wild Rose produced by
the club in decidedly clever manner,
and immensely pleasing to the audi
ence. The characters were so well
placed it is difficult to select any par
ticular ones for praise as all did so well.
Any account of the entertainment,
however, that did not mention the ex-
cellent work of training by Miss Kate
Gulliford, in charge of the musical de-
partment of our schools, would be in
complete, for she brought out one Of
the most complete student plays ever
given in Edgerton. This much we
should say with all truthfulness.
In Sunday" the feature to be
shown at the Lyric on Thursday, you
will see a thrilling, exciting photoplay,
