The Advantages Of Rest.

There Is no better preventative of
of nervous exhaustion than regular,
unhurried muscular exercise. If We
could moderate our hurry, lessen our
worry, and increase our open-air exer-
else, p large proportion of nervous
diseases would be abolished. For those
who cannot get sufficient holiday the
best substitute is an occasional day in
bed. Many whose nerves are constant
ly strained in their daily vocations have
discovered this for themselves. 4
Spanish merchant in Barcelona told his
medical man that he always went to bed
for two or three days whenever he
could be spared from his business, and
he laughed at those who spent their
holidays on toilsome mountains. One
Of the hardest worked women in Eng
land, who has for many years conducted
a large. wholesale business. retains
excellent nerves at an advanced age,
owing, it is believed, to her habit of
taking one day week in bed. If we
cannot avoid frequent agitation we
ought, if possible, to give the nervous
system time to recover itself between
the shocks. Even an hours seclusion
after good lunch will deprive hurried
anxious day of much of its injury. The
nerves can often be overcome by strata
gem when they refuse to be controlled
by strength of will.-[Ex.

Vesper Locals.

The numerous subscribers to the
WOOD COUNTY REPORTER, residing in this
burg, are all wondering whether the
REPORTER Office is submerged in water.
if not why they failed to get their paper
last week, as the Green Bay & Winona
Railway made daily trips, connecting
with the Wisconsin Fittsville & Super
ior Railway at Dexterville.
The citizens throughout this section
of the county were sorry to learn of the
destruction of the Wood County Bridge
by the late ice jam. The loss sustained
by its demolition must of necessity
effect either directly or indirectly every
line of business, as well as the residents
of the county at large, and we all
sincerely trust that the county board
will take immediate steps to have it
rebuilt.
The continued moderate weather
during the past week, has nearly re-
moved the last vestige of snow in the
openings. However the boys report
about one foot of snow in the woods.
Tie ice is slowly wasting away in Hem
lock creek, above the Company's dam.
The creek is open between the dam and
Hansen.
The Wisconsin Pittsville & Superior
Railway have made daily trips to this
place during the past week, notwith-
standing the fact that they have been
compelled to put in some new bridges,
and do considerable blocking up of
the track, in consequence of the high
water.
Henry Sherry & Co. expect to COM
mence driving their logs this week.
The ice is reported to have gone out in
the east branch, where large amount
of logs are banked.
Joe White and Sam Smith have at
last broken camp. However Joe gets
up early every morning to see if there
is chance to put in few more logs.
jim Short, engineer on the Wood
County Railway, has moved his family
from Pittsville to this place, and is now
occupying the residence recently
vacated by Jim Lawless.
The Vesper Mining Co. successors to
the Enterprise Mining Co. are making
preparations to push vigorously, the
work at their mine. A force of ten men
nave been employed, provisions and
supplies of various kinds including
shafting material are now on the ground
ready for active operations.
Henry Sherry & Co. have added
largely to their stock of dry goods,
notions, hats, caps, straw and millinery
goods.
Mrs. J. w. Cameron is quite i'll. DR..
g. f. Witter was summoned to attend.

FREE FERRY.

This city is decidedly in favor of a
free ferry and it is to be hoped that our
sister city is, yet we understand a large
number of her citizens are opposing 1t.
However the opposition comes from the
smallest tax payers.
1t don't stand to reason that few
men should profit over the misfortune
of the two cities and the county at large
just because there is apparently an
opportunity We are virtuelv one city
here and our interests are uniform 4
great many people in Centralia have
been in the habit of trading in Grand
Rapids and vice versa. Because mis-
fortune has befalIen us is no reason why
this relation should change. Let us
have free ferry and if one is insuffi-
cient to carry on the traffic let us rein
force it with ferry number two. Let the
two cities pay out Of the general fund
thier proportion for the support of the
same and the business interests of both
cities will continue the same as hereto
fore. United we stand, divided we
fall.
LATER.-We understand that the city
of Centralia have decided not to meet
Grand Rapids halfway and make free
ferry. We are of the opinion that
Grand Rapids ought to order ferry
boat Immediately, and run it free. Let
Centralia business men pay tole if they
so prefer.

BE POLITE.

'Soft words butter no parsnips," but
pleasant words and courteous bearing
in any office or workshop go a very
great way toward making life endurable.
The foreman, or other i'll authority,
should set the example in this respect
and behave like a gentleman toward his
subordinates, and insist upon like con
duct on their part. Each one should
not only maintain his own seH-respect,
but regard that of other. The youngest
apprentice is as much entitled to
courtesy and forbearance as the propri-
etor himself. Men work better and
more cheerfully when kindly spoken to
than when rudely treated.-Lithogr
and Printre.

County Board.

1t is expected that there will be a
meeting of the County Board next week
to take proper steps for the rebuilding
of the bridge. A special call is being
circulated for the required number of
signatures, if secured, the clerk will
issue the call.
Perhaps the only question to decide
will be whether they will rebuild a
wooden structure or put in an iron
bridge with stone piers" If the board
will decide to put in frst-class bridge
of iron with stone abuttments and piers
we would favor the assuming Of the
bridge on the part of the two cities,
otherwise let the county maintain it as
heretofore.

The swollen river has been a source
of great attraction to many people who
find time hanging heavy on their hands
these days, and, as consequence, the
sidewalks along Water street and the
banks of the river at places are bedeck-
ed with sight-seerers who watch the
current hurrying along below. It is
mild form of excitement which the
average idler cannot resist to watch the
objects floating along on the surface.
Logs, lumber, trees, barrels, 90 bobbing
and whirling along in abundance, with
an occasional chicken-coop or a door or
some other domestic article to vary the
monotony.

Biron'ssMill Safe.

For several days the past week
the Biron saw-mill was in danger of
being taken out first by the ice jam than
by high water. We drove up there
Monday afternoon and found the
water in the Wisconsin river very high
but the mill comparatively safe. The
west bank of the river at this point was
covered with large cakes of ice showing
that the ice jam was dangerous one.
The only damage done was taking out
the slide in the large dam and the
boomage more or less disturbed and
broken loose.

John Farrish's Loss.

What at first was feared would prove
great loss to Mr.. Parrish, afterwards
proved not so serious-due to his
prompt action in the matter. Twenty
four rapids pieces of lumber that was
tied up just south of the Biron mill
broke lose Friday evening with the ice
jam and was more or less scattered from
that point to 20 miles below this city.
The lumber was largely broken apart
and cribs were tied up all along the
river. Some cribs were destroyed and
lost entirely. His actual loss will
amonnt to several thousand dollars.
