Beautiful Auroral Display.

Our citizens were witnesses of a
brilliant phenomenon last Saturday
evening about ten o'clock. 1t was an
auroral display reaching from near the
eastern horizon to the western. 1t
flamed in pulsating streamers of soft
tieecy appearance, and gradually broke
up and tloated off in cloud like masses.
The aurora was preceded by violent
electric storm accompanied with severe
wind, about four p. m. At sunset the
heavens were marvelously beautiful
with opalescent colors ranging from
deep green and purple to rosy tint with
floating clouds that changed with kalei-
doscopic swiftness in wondrous
changeful beauty. A rainbow was
family outlined in the southeast just
before sunset, During the storm many
fine shade trees in the city were broken
down or uprooted, but no serious
damage has been reported.
Reports through the Press indicate
that the storm was wide spread and the
phenomena of aurorsl display was
seen in Minn., Mich, Iowa, Neb., and
other points. The electrical influence
was peculiarly effective and Telegraphic
communication completely cut off in
many places. Some scientists have
credited the auroral and electric dis
plays to the comet, but the greater mum.
Der oppose that theory.

Rev. George Shelton Ordained.

Bishop Grafton conducted religious
services of an impressive and special
character in Hobart Church. Oneida, on
June "A, and the corner stone of a
hospital for the use of the Oneida
Indians was laid, one hundred Indians
participated in the events of the day.
Fifty years ago the Oneida Mission
began its work on this same historic
ground and the christianizing and
elevating of the Indians has been kept
up through all the discouragements of
the years since.
Holy orders were conferred Oh four
men, two being ordained to the Diacon-
ate, and two advanced to the priesthood,
one of them being Rev. George Shelton
curate of st. Johns Church, Centralia,
Rev. R. H. Weller presenting him in an
ordination sermon which is referred to
in "The Diocese" of Fond du Lac as
eloquent in its inception delivery and
special charges to the Ordinees. After
Ordination bountiful lunch provided
by the Indian women was served in an
improvised bower, the Oneida Band
playing i'll the meantime. While it was
an event full of a deep and solemn
significance to the Indians it was no less
so to the missionaries and church leaders
who see in 1t a fulfllment and promise
of far reaching church work.

Editor Swayze Dead.

Mr.. Caleb Swayze who has been
editor and proprietor, of the Wiscon-
sin Pinery, published in Stevens Point,
died at his home in that city after an
illness of short duration and was buried
Tuesday last. He was a bachelor and
had no near relatives in this part of the
country. He came to Stevens Point in
1856 and in 1857 became one of. the
owners of the Pinery and the following
year he became sole proprietor. He
was a man of upright character, and
somewhat eccentric in his personalities
but a friend that will be missed, and a
citizen faithful to the city's interests.
He leaves property to eastern relatives
valued at about $4,000 The funeral
was largely attended and the floral
offerings very beautiful. He was about
sixty years old.

Selfish Women on the Cars.

Now that the Worlds Fair brings in
creased amount of travel the selfish
woman is conspicuous in the throngs of
passengers. She it is who takes bath
in the toilet room of the sleeper while
mothers with little children vainly wait
for chance to sponge off sticky little
hands, and brush tangled locks, before
getting off the tram and entering other
crowded cOpyeyances. She it is whose
toilet must be. made with careful detail
though other ladies stand hand bag in
hand waiting for five minutes turn to
prepare to emerge for the days outing.
She it is when the water gets low in the
cooler, stands leisurely by for cup to
be filled to the brim, before she par
takes of a sip or two and throws the
rest out wasting the portion that thirsty
fellow passengers need. She 1t is who
takes up two full seats, and does not
hesitate over white lie in saying to a
new conner who is looking for a seat
Eyes that seat is occupied" when in
fact it is not paid for. She always
manages to get off the cars first, and
has the most assistance with her baggage.
She is the first to make her way in and
find the most comfortable seat. We all
know her, and we seldom oppose her,
but let her over ride our privileges and
impose on our good nature without pro-
test, because its her way, and she
asserts it in arbitrary fashion.

lie is we'll known throughout the
| county as al honorable public spirited
man of good habits, pleasing address
and liberal views of life. He was born
in Franorp, Sweden, in May 1861. He
| came to this country with his parents
who settled in Wood county in 1871
when he was but ten years old. The
trip from Sweden taking twenty-five
days to accomplish. His father while
in Sweden followed the business OF
carpenter and builder in which he was
large contractor. The elder Lindahl
was man of more than ordinary inteli-
gence and appreciated the advantages
of education, SO much SO, that the next
day after his arrival in Wood county he
started his children in school, John
among the number. Although the
schools at that time were primitive and
would not compare favorably with those
of the present time the rudiments of a
solid education were offered and the
boy with studious habits and desire to
learn, acquired knowledge of the most
important branches of learning that has
served him well ever since. He attend
ed the public school until eighteen years
old, then began logging operations and
contracting. He has been prominent in
town affairs and held offices from time
to time. He is at present the town clerk
which Office he has previously held.
In 1890 he married Miss Josie Hansen,
of Chicago, a lady of intelligence, thrift
and kindness of heart. His home,
four and half miles from Centralia,
betokens thrift and energy. The house
is a cozy cottage finished and furnished
with taste and comfort. The out build
ings are large, substantial, and con-
venient. His barn being the largest
and best in this vicinity. The farm has
been his home for twenty years. His
aged father and mother vino originally
owned it, lives with him. OF a family
of six children only himself and one
sister, Mrs. Martin Hanson, Of Sigel, re-
| main.
Besides considerable wild land he
OWNS farm consisting of 120 acres. 1t
is well stocked and cultivated. He
keeps five horses, and thirty head of
stock. Besides hay and tubers he
raises on an average about one thousand
bushels of small grain per year.
He divides his time between farming
and outside business. At present he is
filling the contract for 1000 cords of
building stone to be used by the Ne
koosa Paper Mill Co., as foundation
| rock for mill and dam. The stone is
qparried three and half miles from
Centtrfaaliaa and earted to the old shipping
station of Worden, thence transported
by car over the Valley division of the
c. NJ. & St. Paul r. r. to Nekoosa. In
this work he employs thirty men in the
quarry, beside teams and driyers. They
are getting out an average of twenty
cord per day and will be kept busy un-
| til October.
Mr.. Lindahl is actively interested in
all that pertains to the good of the town
and county, and with intelligent ap.
preciation Of our free school system j,
worthy of consideration in school
matters. IT Is such men who haye
brought tho primitive wilderness q
