COOPER & IAvIGNE.
Centralia, May 9th, 1874.

PerSOnal.-Mitchell Sweeney, our
protege in the drug business, from Wau-
sau, showed himself in our place of bus
mess last Saturday.
Bro. Ingersoll, of the Plover Times,
made our sanctum CHEEKY with his
presence last week.
William CLARK soldier during the
whole Of the late war, who was practi-
eally disabled, by disease contracted
during the time of his service, but
who neglected to apply for pension,
and who has lived in great want and
much suffering here and there until at
last he is on the town of Centralia,
which town pays his board; (They
don't look after his elothes it seems,
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1874-05-14

and he has had no washing done for
six months); this William Clark
has lately applied for pension, and
has put the matter into the hands OF
Hayden & Gardner.
Now to get the proper certificates,
1t was necessary to 90 to Milwaukee
and see DR.. Hanson, the surgeon OF
Clark's regiment. Mr.. Clark had no
money and was not willing to make
any demands upon the Centralia au-
thorities. Mr.. Lyons, however, was
written to, as being the proper officer
to inquire if money could be furnished
to Mr., Clark to pay his way to NJ.
and back. Nothing being done, Mr..
Clark set out to NJ. on his own ac-
count He went to Port Edwards,
and J. E. gave him five dollars, with
this he paid his way to Portage city,
and went to bed without his supper,
and just fifteen cents in his pocket.
The next day he found friends who
gave him money and a ticket to NJ.
Especially a Deacon Wall who was
very good to him. He reached NJ.
and secured his papers but now had
no money to retdfh. He was sent by
a friend to the chief of Policc-Wm.
Beck, who gave him a ticket to Port
age city, there a friend--a lieutenant
of the regiment to which Mr.. CLARK
belonged, gave him money enough to
return to this place.
1t is to be hoped that he will succeed
in the matter of the pension bnt in the
mean time if town officers are caring
for poor man is it not legitimate and
will it not be approved by all the citi-
zens of the place, that such be cared
for ,oeU and thoroughly?
Mr.. Clark seems to be deserving
and honorable but thoroughly disabled
from caring for himself.
We learn that our friend Rossier is
confined to his bed with the rheuma-
tism. We had hoped that he would
feel rejuvenated in getting away from
the combining cares of Office life, and
that his frail frame wonld be putting
on a little flesh. Courage K. B. say
when, and we'll come over and sit mp
with you.

ANOTHER New ENTERPRISE We
should judge from appearances that the
Messrs. |, & J. Meehan, Of Mill Greek,
were about to enter into the tub and
pail business. as they have had our
friend, 'Lige Hoel, making them a sam
pie tub IL feet in diameter and II feet
high. (By the way, 'Lige worked at
the thing SO long, it set him into a
fever, from which, we are happy to
learn, he is fast recovering). They
have erected tower some 80 odd feet
high upon which 'Lige proposes to set
his tub in full view of the surrounding
eauntry. La order to make the thing
useful as well as ornamental, they pro
pose to keep it filed with water, of
which it holds about 400 barrels. and
'Lige thinks should the old Fire King.
that terror of all steam saw mill own
ers, ever make his appearance in that
vicinity, he Will be able to squelch him

A Grand Time at Madison. - Tt

Congregational Society of Madison have
recently completed fine church edi-
fee costing nearly $40, 900. Last
Sabbath the beautiful structure was
dedicated to the service of Almighty
God with appropriate and impressive
ceremonies, many noted clergymen
from abroad, including Rev. f. B.
Doe. Northern Wisconsin Secretary of
the Am. Home Missionary Society, Off
ciating. Appropriate music, vocal and
instrumental was furnished BY the best
musicians of the capital city, and all
things worked together for the highest
enjoyment of the members of the So
ciety and the vast audience assembled
to worship and join in the dedicatory
service. But the best part Of the
ceremonies was the wipiDg out of the
church debt, an amount approximating
to $40, 900. After the ceremonies,
Mr.. Doe made an earnest appeal to the
congregation, and soon the leaven be-
gan to work. Contributions came in
thick and fast, as the excitement in
creased, the amounts increased in pro-
portion, contributors withdrew their
figures and doubled and thrilled them,
and soon it was announced that $40
900 was pledged to the extinguishment
of debt upon which many had look
ed with fearful forebodings, wondering
when it Uouzd be cancelled, and when
the society would be able to worship in
a sanctuary freed from the bondage of
debt. The announcement that the
amount was raised and more, was re-
ceived with great rejoicing and clapping
of hands. Among the contributions
we note the Choir down for 81, 900
The Ladies Furnishing Society, 81, 900
and many contributions numbering
from 800, to $1,000. We congratu-
late the Society over its success, and
wish it God speed.

Convention. The Congregations

Convention. The Congregational
Churches, comprising the Lemonweir
District, will hold their semi-annual
convention at Friendship, June 9th.
The programme of exercises was pub
lished at the REPORTER Office last
week, and Will be distributed among
the various churches by Rev. Mr..
Hicks of Kilbourn City, the Secretary
of the Society, at once. A very inter-
esting session will without doubt be en-
joyed. We hope a good delegation
will attend from Grand Rapids.

Incendarism.-We last week made
note of the fact that a dwelling house
III New Lisbon that belonged to An
drew Liecht, but had been occupied by
German named John Widdeman, was
burned April 29th, and that strong
suspicious were held that it had been
willfully set on fire. 1t appears that
the suspicion was correct. Although
the house was owned by Andrew
Liecht, Widdeman had secretly had it
and his furniture and effects insured in
his own name and for his own benefit
About two weeks before the fire he
went to Chicago leaving his furniture,
tools, &C., in the house. After the
FIRE none Of the tools or tool irons
could be found among the ruins In
quiry showed that stranger had hired
a team took load of goods from the
house to Mansion, by by-road, and
shipped them from there to Wild
deman, at Chicago. On Monday night
WIddeman returned to New Lisbon.
Said he had just learned of the loss
and had come back to recover the in
surance money. He was arrested and
when taken before Esquire Butler, he
actually admitted that he had hired a
man, whose name he says is Weir, to
burn the house. His story is that he
was poor, thought he could get the in
surance money and in that way make a
raise, therefore agreed with Weir who
had stayed with him for some days TO
go of, then, at favorable opportunity,
Weir was to get away the goods and
apply the torch. 1t was carried out
according to programme and Wilde
man is in Jail awaiting trial. He
refuses to tell who this Weir is or
where he can be found.
In every view of the case this is a
horrible crime, and especially so when
it is known that Widdeman is over sew
enty-six years of age. He is very
large man, weighs nearly three hun
dred weight and is so fat he is known
among the Germans as gross cater
The punishment for the offense IS iH-
prlsonment in the State Prison for a
term of not more than ten nor less
than three years.
Since the above was in type we learn
that the name Of the man who set the
house on fire is John Weir and that he
resides in Chicago on the north side,
The property destroyed was worth
about eight hundred a0lIars,-Nausson

Horse Stolen. Mr.. Searles, the
proprietor of the halfway house on the
New Lisbon road, was in town last
Thursday, looking after runaway boy
with a stolen horse Mr.. Searle states
that the alleged theft was perpetrated
the night previous by one Merritt A.
Barlow, young man reared by him,
and who has heretofore borne good
reputation for honesty and integrity.
He states that the young man is about
seventeen years Of age, that he packed
up his clothes on Wednesday evening
and during the night stole the horse
from the barn and left for parts I'M
known. Intelligence has been sent in
every direction, and probably the young
rascal will be caught before he gets out
of the state.

day 5 journey to witness the operation
of this mill. We noted many new
buildings and street improvements made
since our last visit to this place, one
brief year ago. The owners of this
property have erected number of tasty
dwellings which are rented to their en-
ployees at reasonable figures. A row
of six buildings of the same size, color,
and style of finish, crown an elevated
plateau overlooking the thriving little
town and commanding fine view Of
the Win6iyg river and It's wooded islands
for considerable distance above and
below the mill The Company are
erecting new store and boarding house
and making other improvements which
tend to beautlfy the place and enhance
the value OF property in this busting
hive of industry. From Barnum your
correspondent made his way to Grand
Rapids, the county seat of Wood Co,
by the old stage route which runs par
allel with the river, which it touches at
several points, affording fine views of
the rapids, which constitute one of
the grandest water-powers to be found
in our State. OF Grand Rapids and
its sister city Centralis we shall have
something to say in our next.

prior to the one we mention. He was
cared for at the Ratlin House.
