A wise Quakeress used to say there
were three follies of men which always
amazed her. The first was, their climb
ing trees to shake fruit down, when, If
they only waited little. it would fall
OF its own accord: the second was, that
they should go to war to kill each
other, when, if they but waited, they
would all die naturally; and the third
was, that the men should run after the
women, when. il they would not dc it,
the women would be sure to run after
them

Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1884-08-28

The Boston people have discovered,
through the medium of their reporters,
that their harbor is in an absolutely
defenseless condition, and that there
is nothing between them and a bonn
bardment by hostile fleet but the
lack of the fleet. These scares about
the condition Of our harbors are as
periodic OF the Atlantic coast as the
panics about the Chinese are in Cali
fornia; and By some strange coinci-
dence, yet to be explained, both come
at times when there is a dearth of
other matter In Boston, New York
and Philadelphia, when locals are
scarce, the danger from an enemy's
fleet will always FIJI a column, while
in San Francisco, the "leprous Chi
nee" serves the same purpose when
the item market is tight In regard
to the harbor question, however, it is
well enough to remember that in less
than week the Confederates filled
the mouth of every harbor they had
so full of torpedoes that not a Federal
vessel dared to venture in, and we
know a great deal more about torpo-
does than the Confederates ever did.

The trial of Jos. Jarnek was oonclud
ed Tuesday noon last. 1t consumed four
days. The girl Title Borutzsky swore
positively that he was the party who as~
saulted her as did the witness Frank
Norak. The defense introduced couple
OF witnesses who swore positively that
Jarnek WAS in their company at the time
the girl screamed and for some time af-
ter. One Of these was young girl who
accompanied him to and from the circus,
The other was her mother. Jarpek sd.
mitted having met Norak and his brother
on his way home after the outrage had
taken place. He was discharged by the
court but was re-arrested and taken be-
fore Justice Bach the same afternoon to
answer for the grosser offense.

very little consequence and would be
dull, uninterssting reading indeed. Two
or three members of the troupe were en-
tertaining actors and Mr.. Russell is q
comedian of no ordinary merit. He is
perfectly at home and acts IN perfectly

lies his talent. 1t is seldom an actor of

played servant, Wildman who played SUBJ

all acquitted themselves very creditably.

A MAN and woman giving their names
as Mr.. and Mrs. Keyser came to the city
short time ago and purchased the st.
Charles Hotel from Mr.. Rossberg. They
paid $500 in cash and made arrangements
to pay the balance in time. Things went
on smoothly enough until another man
from Central New York put in his ap,
psarapce and claimed that the alleged
Mrs. Keyser was his own lawfully we'd
ded wife and that she had eloped from
him and carried away some valuables.
He insisted on having her return to his
native state with him. Her paramour
demonstrated but the husband finally
threatened to appeal to the law and so she
concluded it was best to go.

FRANK NoRAK went to Dist. Atty
Walker and wanted to have the supposed
fiend of circus night arrested. Walker
was busy so he wrote Norak's name on 6
piece of paper together with instructions
to Judge Smart to examine the bearer OF
it and have him swear to complaint and
then issue warrant for the arrest OF
Jarnek. Smart is not an adept in the
language of the Poles and Norak's Eng
lish vocabulary is comprehended in the
words, yes and no.
Nothing daunted however he put in
his appearance and thrust the epistle from
Walker, at the Judge. Smart proceeded
to figure out what the strange characters
might mean. He attempted to read the
thing forward but failed. The thought
then struck him that his caller was a
subscription fend and was soliciting for
the Heather of Siam or some other far
away country and that he beheld letter
written in genuine Asiatic characters.
He read at the document backward for
he remembered having heard that the
Orientals write in that peculiar fashion.
He then turned the paper upside down
but still it was as much Greek to him, as
though written in Sanskrit.
Finally he scanned the features of his
strange visitor little more closely and
the thought struck him that he was of
Polish extraction. He pondered little
and new light dawned on him, he
thought he recognized the features. He
remembered having law suit tried before
him shortly before in which the princi-
pals and witnesses were Polanders and
now the thought struck him that one of
the witnesses had come to claim his fees.
The Judge remarked, You live on
Pollock Hill ?" Eyes" "You we're wit
ness in a case here2" eyes" "Yop
want your fees2" yes" "Here is Sc
cents for you"
The man muttered something which of
course was not understood but which
was probably to the effect that this was
a great country and that he would call
again soon.
Walker asked Smart why he had not
issued the warrant and Smart looked the
picture of injured innocence and asked
what warrant. Walker explained and
the Judge wanted to have him arrested
for something, he didn't exactly know
what. Walker implored him to keep it
dark and assured him he would make the

A TRAMP who gave his name as Saint
Patrick plead guilty to the charge OF
vagrancy last Monday and was sentenced
by Judge Smart to one year in the state
prison. He has been before the Judge
before and had timely warning what
the result would be if he turned up
again. he thought the judge was joking
however and didn't feel disposed to leave
the county. He will now have plenty
time to repent his foolhardiness.

On Tuesday last the steamer Alberta
collided with the steam barge Osborn
near White Fish Point on Lake Superior.
The Osborn was hit amidships and was
nearly cut in two, sinking almost imme-
diately. Five lives were lost. The Os-
born had three consorts which were taken
in tow by another steamer after the dis
aster. The Alberta was not very seriously
injured. The dense fog was the cause of
the catastrophe.
