Rev. John Rowland,

The Necedah Republican in comment
ing on the union services being held in
that city, by the NJ. E. and Cong'l
churches, spoke as follows about Rev.
Rowland's sermon on last FRIDAY even
ing: Rev. Rowland pointed out that
we ought to provoke one another to
love and good works, and, especially as
the day when we mus give an account
of the deeds done in the body, is draw
ing near. The Divine Master on the
mountain top said to his apostles: $50

ing his ambassadors. "Into all the
world" Here was the extent of the
territory. "Preach the gospel to every
creature" Here was the message of
peace to rebel sinners. "Baptizing
them in the name of the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Ghost" Here was
the symbol of loyalty. Teaching them

PRESS COMPLIMENTS.

That excellant newspaper, the WooD
COUNTY REPORTER has been enlarged
from a six to a seven column quarto.-
[Necedah Republican.
The Grand Rapids REPORTER has tax
en- a step in advance. 1t has been
changed from six column to a seven
column quarto. A. L. Fontaine, the
editor, says he wants to have the best
paper in the state.-Merriu Times.
Yes, we would like to be Editor of the
best paper in the state, but my faternal
friend [ said nothing of the kind of the
REPORTER. | simply said it was the
largest and cheapest paper in Wood
County, which is SO.
The WOOD COUNTY REPORTER comes to
our exchange table, enlarged from six
to seven-column quarto, which makes
q great improvement on its former looks
and makeup. Increasing business has
compelled it's publisher to make this
change. In the REPORTER Office is
where we learned to stick our first
type and played the role of devil, in
the days gone by. We are pleased to
see our friend Al. meeting with the sue
cess he deserves Pittsville Independ-
ant.
The WOOD CoUTY REPORTER, publish
ed by Albert Fontaine at GarnG Rapids
Wisconsin, has been enlarged to q sew
en- column quarto. The paper is great
ly improved in appearance and in in
trinsic value. 1t has been good paper
ever since the present proprietor took
it in charge, and his perseverance and
energy iii improving it are commend
able. May he live long and gather
shekels galore.-[ Wausau Torch.
The WooD COUNTY REPORTER came out
on Thursday last, as a seven column
quarto, and is greatly improved in its
general appearance. We congratulate
brother Albert on his courage and
energy in making such decided i'm
provement8, at the opening Of g severe
winter season. It is an unnistakable
mark Of prosperity, where local news
papers in this northern country grow
and prosper, while in the older coun-
tries in the southern part of the state,
the editorial business is languishing
and the printer is often compelled to
ask an extension of his store bills, when
the end Of the fiscal year comes around.

Jasper Crotteau. INDICATED.

The following statement of facts in
the case are taken from the Milwaukee
Sentinel:-Marshfeid, Jan. 12.-The
criminal case Of the state againt Jasper
Crotteau, register of deeds of Wood.
L. Encking, of Fond du Lac, complain
anton the charge Of refusing to allow
the complainant free access to certain
records was called before Judge VIM.
Bartels, Of the Municipal court, Of this
city, to-day. The state was represented
by Dist. Atty. Cochran, Grand Rap
ids, who filed notice CT appearance
and an order discontinuing all proceed
ings in the present action on the
grounds of public interest and policy
and the fact that the complainant had
begun the action without any notice to
or with the approval of the district
attorney; because the action should
have been commenced at the county
seat for convenience in the attendance
OF witnesses and for other reasons.
The district attorneys refusal 70 allow
the criminal courts of the county 10 be
used for personal purposes is highly
commended by all. The case has
awakened interest through the country
and the result is a complete vindica-
ton of Mr. Crotteau Of the charge made

Geo.R. Gardner for Congress.
Wood County Republicans will give
him unanimous Support.

If it is decided, to have new deal in
this Ninth Congressional District, for
member of congress to succeed the
Hon. Isaac Stephenson, the Republicans
of this county will present the name of
Geo. r. Gardner as their choice for that
position The Monday Sentinel con-
tanned the following item:
Ashland, Jan. 15.-The congressional
contest in this district is already begin
ming to attract attention. Mr.. Stephen
son, it is said, will not be candidate
again and Ashland people now look to
ex-Lieut. Gov. Fifeld as the coming
man. If he enters the contest, as now
appears probable, he would go into the
convention with not only Ashland at his
back in solid phalanx, but with healthy
support from the southern end of the
district. Ed. Gleason, a young attorney
is said to- look longingly in the direction
of seat In congress and should Gov.
Fifield refuse to let his name 60 to the
convention, Mr.. Gleason would be a
favorite with at least part Of the
Ashland delegation. r. D, Marshall, of
Chippewa Falls, one of the most promi-
nent lawyers in the district, is candi-
date with good support, and the same
is said to be true of Judge Parish, of
Medford. Wausau Republicans are
to be solid for NJ. A Hurley,
and a gentleman from that town said
one day last week that he believed he
would make good fight for the place, if
he entered the race. Capt. VIM. Upham
of Marshfeld, is by no means the least
man who has been suggested
for Mr.. Stephenson's shoes, and he has
a host of friends in every corner of the
district. The only other Republican
thus far heard from here is E.
L. Browne, of Waupaca, who is said to
have had an eye on the Office for years.
The Democrats are at loss to know
what to do against such an array of con-
gresslonal timber, unless they prevail
upon John Edwards, the wealthy lum-
herman Of PIT. Edwards, to enter the
race again. This city is now and has
been largely Democratic, but the large
in its population the past year
lead the Republicans to believe that the
city election here in March will show
different political complexion.
If this Ninth Congressional District
must be represented by Democrat the
REPORTER would be pleased to see Mr..
John Edwards successful.

Kate W. Howe.

The following items are clipped from
the Daily Pioneer, published at Bridge
ton, New Jersey, Jan. 5, 1888:
The grand jury ignored the state
ments made. against Mrs. Kate W.
Howe, the lady soldier, who was arrest
ed a few weeks since on a charge of
having worn a Grand Army badge illeg-
ally. This is a vindiction for Mrs.
Howe, over which she and her friends
are much gratifed.
Mrs. Kate W. Howe has brought suit
against H. c. Dodge. Of Amherst, New
Hampshire, charging him with SANDER
1t viii be remembered that Dodge is
the man who wrote several letters to
parties in this city, derogatory to the
character of Mr.. Howe.-[Waus

kRUGAR & PHILLEO.

Miss Annie Reeves, who was for
some time confined in the Wood County
Poor Farm, died on the 18th inst. at
Fond du Lac She had been placed in
the Asylum there because she grew
so much worse at the poor farm here
Towards the last she refused all food
and was fed through tube While at
the poor farm she kept up continual
screeching, 1t was painful to- see and
hear her. Death in this case was well
coined, because it ended life of misery.

A Fine Open Winter.

A good way to prevent sunstroke is to
wear a cabbage leaf in your hat
The venerable editor of The Wiscon-
sin knew this would be an open winter
when that first November cold-wave
struck US. For the last three thousand
years he has observed that unreasona-
bly, cold weather in November always
indicates an open winter.
This is a fine open winter. It seems
to have been cracked open by the cold
weather. The opening is at the north
end and the Arctic breezes are able to
roam all around in the openness. An
opening is made in the coalbins also
And there are good many openings in
water-pipes. The plumbers have begun
to open big accounts.

too long in the night air.-Sentinel.
