| The poles for the rewriting and
cabling of the telephone service in the
city were unloaded the first of the

proved service will be highly appre-
ciated by all subscribers.
The manufacturers of the Ameri-
can LaFrance fire apparatus are en-
deavoring to have their machine in Ed

time ago, but one used as demon
strator.

The benefit concert of the Edger-
ton band last Sunday was well attend
ed, and the band gave most excellent
program. A generous collection was
presented to the band. This event
closes the open air concert season. The
city has not yet succeeded in carrying
a band that could give occasional in
door programs during the winter
months. The time will undoubtedly
come when such plan will be inaug-
! urated.
DIR. and Mrs. John Lying of Mime
apolis, going through in their car on
their way to Milwaukee to visit Mrs.
Lyng's family, the Froederts, arrived
in Edgerton Sunday night. They drove
through from Minneapolis in day and
found most excellent roads. They spent
the night at the Carlton. DR.. Lying is
an old friend of Mr.. and Mrs. Ristad at
whose home they spent the evening.
The DR.. saw service in Cuba during the
| Spanish American war. He is we'll
known surgeon.
Al Lyon was taken to the August
ana hospital, Chicago, last Tuesday
morning on the early train. A Milwau-
kee physician was sent out by the in
surance company to examine Mr.. Lyon,
and if it is found advisable, after ex-
perts have had time to observe his
| case, to operate, he will be placed in
the hands of surgeons. This may be
done some time this week. Physically
he is recovering normally, but his mind
has continued to be cloudy. Edgerton
people will watch with much sympa-
thetic interest the outcome of his case.
Ole T. Berg and family, who moved
to Stoughton last March, have again

Burgess Battery company, and the two
younger are attending vocational high

where they assist in the work and in
that way pay part of their way. The
many friends of the Berg family well
come them to Edgerton. They arrived
the first of the week.

present season. He is not only admired
