CITY HALL.

Mr.. John Mercer, of Wausau, whose
reputation as an architect and builder,
is recognized as first-class in the state,
was in the city Monday and made a
personal inspection of the new city hall.
He declared it fine structure, correctly
and well constructed in every point,
and thought the citizens of Grand
Rapids had building of which they
might justly feel proud. He compli-
mented the builder, Mr. Jos. Cola, for
having done everything according to
plans and specifications, and giving the
city such excellent work This certain
ly must be gratifying to the building
committee as we'll as all those who have
had hand in it's construction, after all
the criticisms that have been prOffered
by many citizens. Mr.. Mercer had no
hand in drawing the plans or specifca-
tons, but was asked to criticise the
work if it had not been done according
to plans and specifications.

BASE BALL.

The local base ball team went to the
county fair at Grand Rapids last Thurs
day and crossed willows with team
there which had been promised would
be composed of only Wood county men.
The promise was not kept, however, as
professional players from Wausau had
been imported to assist the Rapids boys
in doing up Marshield. Our boys were
done up. They are used to that, and it
was therefore no surprise. They all
feel, however, as though the proper
treatment had not been shown them.
An invitation was extended the next
day to play again at the Rapids; but the
assurance that there would be none but
Wood county men IN the game, carried
no weight and the invitation was de-
clined.-[ -[Marshfield News.
In reply to the above we have this to
say, that the local nine referred to in
the above was wholly made up of Wood
county men. Messrs. Palmer and
Wright, the professionals referred to,
as coming from Wausau, really belong
to Wood county. 1t is true they have
played with Wausau, but they belong to

SUMMONED HOME,
Wr. Akex. Beyuiey fzsses A7oav
SuddenLyt to hs Final
Reb0se.s

For two or three years back it wa.
evident to his family and friends tha
he was constantly failing, but yet ht
was about the streets aEd at times feel
ing quite we'll. While feeling pretty
well the past week he thought he woulC
take the opportunity to visit his son
Mitchell Bernier, who resides neal
Stevens Point on farm. Accordingly
on Monday morning September 2Sth, he
| took the 1925 train for Stevens Point
He reached his destination all safe and
enjoyed his short visit with his son and
family. On Tuesday evening as he was
about to retire he reached his bedroom
and prepared for his bed. Before 60
ing to bed, as was his custom, he knelt
and was saying his prayers when the
summons came, and when found lie was
in a partial kneeling posture. Thus
while in devotion to Deity he was called
home without warning. Disease of the
heart was the cause of death from which
he was troubled for many years, more
or less.
Mr.. Alex. Bernier was born in Lot
bemiere, Canada, on the 18th of August
1884, being fifty-seven years, one month
and fourteen days old at the time of his
death. He came to Wood county in the
year 1856, being a pioneer of thirty six
years standing. He was married to
Miss Clementine Blanchette in the year
1854. From this union, eight children
were born, seven of whom still survive
namely, Mitchell, Charles, Frank, Louis
Mary and Laura Bernier, and Mrs
Peter Rocksteadt.
In an early day Mr.. Bernier was en-
ployed in running the Wisconsin river
where he became well acquainted with
large circle of old pioneers. He in
common with the rest are passing away.
Late years until he retired from busi-
ness he operated a saloon on Water
street. He was quiet, inoffensive man
who had many friends. lie died as he
had lived, in peace with all mankind.
The funeral was held at the Roman
Catholic church. Friday forenoon at 10
O'Clock, Rev. Beyerle officiating. A
large company of relatives and friends
were present to pay their last respects
to pioneer citizen.
Mrs. Bernier and family desire to
express their sincere thanks to the
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1891-10-08

1t is with pleasure we note the sue
cess of Messrs. F. W. Kruger & Co.. 1t

ness with them that they are obliging

varied business. Both are young ener-
getic and upright business men, social,
pleasant and accommodating. They are
constantly increasing their stock to
meet the demand of their fast inereas-
ing trade. The REPORTER wishes them
continued prosperity.

JUDGE G.. M. WEBB BETTER.

Judge Webb does not hold the Wau-
shara term of court which was to have
convened this week, because his phys
ician advised him that, in his present
condition of health, it would not be safe
for him to make the overland trip from
Plainfeld to the county seat and return,
He will, however, hold the terms for
the other counties commencing with
Waupaca on the 10Th inst. There seems
to be no doubt that the Judge is well
on the way to complete health.

THE jury in the case of the state VS..
Mary Miller, who was on trial last
week at St. Peter, for the murder of
her husband. brought in verdict
Monday morning at 1920 o'clock, of
not guilty. The verdict rested on the
ground that she was insane at the
time Of the shooting 1t is doubtful
of there ever was case in this state
that appeared stronger for conviction
than this one, but contrary verdict
was obtained simply upon the insani-
ty plea. This is one of many such
instances that calls for change in
the laws governing such cases, where
by the public may be protected. But
as the case stood her attorney, Senator
Chas. r. Davis, made an able effort
in her behalf, and added fresh laurels
to his fame by his victory, as he had
a hard case to handle. Possibly the
Senator will look upon his hard earn
ed victory as another stepping stone
to congressional honors in the I'd dis
trict.

SPECULATION is now rife as to
Speaker Crisp's assignment of his
committees. In conversation he is
reported to have said that he did not
intend to be sectional in the assign
ment Of chairmanshipS, but that the
north and west would get its portion
of good places. To Mr. Mills will co..
of course, the Craftsmanship of the
ways and means committee, if he will
take it. But the Texan free trader
feels sore over his defeat, and it is
said does not intend to spend much
time at the capital this winter, but
will stump his state for the senate.
If this report proves true, it will prob
ably throw the leadership of the
House upon Springer. of Illinois, as
Mr.. Crisp undoubtedly feels very kind
ly toward him for breaking the dead
lock. Should Mr.. Springer be made
chairman of the committee, there will
be no general tariff bill, but the Nc
Kinley law will be attacked in Sec
tions, so that the Democratic party
will be committed to no particular
line of policy in this respect,
