| Phil Ward has been having quite a
time with his second oldest boy who is
very i'll with pneumonia. DR.. Witter
! and Gregory are in attendance AS
soon as the boy is we'll enough the
family will move into the Lavigne
Homestead, and Mr.. Geo. Baker will
again occupy his own house.
Why wouldn't good sidewalk from
the front door of the court house to
the street. be good investment
Muddy times the dirt that is carried
into the building is enormous. Lets
have one built. Mr.. Nash how does
it strike you as chairman of the build
ing committee =?
George Laufer young man 16
years of age who resides in Portage
county shot bald-headed eagle Fri
day afternoon the 18th inst. We
suppose the reason he was bald-headed
was on account Of his age. His
wings from tip to tip measured five
feet and six inches. It was quite a
curiosity.
The Bensley mill property is nearly
ready for running. The new machin-
cry with the latest improvements are
being put up and we hope before many
days to hear the buzz and hum of
mill life. They have 100000 of
logs ready to be converted and more
coming. Mr.. Bensley and Chandos
are entitled to great credit for their
enterprise,
John Schnable, foreman in T.
MacKinnon & Co.'S hub and spoke
factory. informs us that they are
doing better work this spring than
they have since the mill was erected.
He spoke in fattering terms of all his
subordinates and was well pleased with
their work. As high as eighty set Of
hubs are turned out every day, while
year ago 40 and so set was con-
sidered good days work.
The May Wheeler dramatic com
pany produced two of the finest pieces
that have been rendered in this city in
Engaged. Every member of the
troupe was No. l and yet our people
failed to turn out having only few
days previous been badly swindIed by
tho Boston Ideals. Should this com
pany return in the future and give our
citizens a little more notice of their
coming, they will receive large
audience without doubt.
F. Domonoski has secured the servi-
ces of Judge Cate, of Stevens Point, to
assist Dist. Attorney Williams in
prosecuting his case against Mr.. J. E.
Ingraham, whom he charges with
adultery. The case is called for to-
day before Judge Woodwork. Sheriff
McCamley served the legal papers last
evening. What is this town coming
to anyway? We hope the examina.
ton will clear up matters.
Just why our people will patronize
dead beat troupe like the "Boston
] Ideals and not give first class troune
like the May Wheeler company only
meagre audience is what seems
strange to people of good judgment.
A fraud of show gets large house
and good dramatic or comedy CON-
pany get badly left invariably. Why
| is it thus?
Chas, Brown and family leave for
Dakota to night. They are bound for
Dawson where many of our old towns
men have gone. Many of our old
settlers are seeking richer pastures to
feed upon than those of their youth.
We find no fault with any man in
moving if he can better himself. The
old saying that "God helps those who
help themselves" is too true for con-
tradiction
