GOOD nARKETS.

There is probably but very few
places in the State with better markets
and better railroad connections to
reach good markets than is found in
the Twin Cities, and no place we know
of any where is any better adapted for
growing all kinds of small fruits than
this section here.
With our railroads running North
South, East and West we can reach all
parts of the state, and our county ought
to build up a reputation in fruit grow
ing second to none. Everybody ought
to plant enough for their own use and
some for market, and remember that
you can get the very best plants, bushes
and trees of Messrs. Purdy & Read of
the Wood County Nursery that can be
procured anywhere and at prices lower
than can be procured from any other
nursery.
Agents of eastern nurseries will
charge $3.50 per dozen for raspberries
and 81 per dozen for blackberries but
you cae get 100 at the same price if you
patronize HOME INDUSTRY. Remember
and call for anything you want of

Death of rirS. Cola.

The people Of the twin cities were
greatly shocked at the sudden death of
Mrs. Augusta Cola which occurred
Tuesday morning at about o'clock. 1t
appears that she arose as usual that
morning and not feeling perfectly well
returned to her bed when she was
taken violently sick with cramps from
which she died shortly after. Her
husband, who had left at o'clock for
his work, was sent for as soon as she
was taken sick, but before he reached
home she was dead. This family
consisting Of father and ten children
three boys and seven girls-are heart
broken over the sudden death of wife
and mother. The oldest child is 20
years and the youngest 4 years of age.
Who can fully realize the extent of the
loss of kind and affectionate mother
to 10 little children? None but those
who experience such a loss. Home
without a mother is a dreary place at
best. Mrs. Cola was always considered
a strong healthy woman who never
complained of sickness and this sudden
change from life unto death is hardly
understood.
Mrs. Augusta Cola was born in
Prussia on the 18th day of August, 1851, ,
and died Oct. 24th, 1893, making her ~
years, two months and seven days old.
She was married in Milwaukee the Dist
day Of September, 1872, to Mr.. Cola.
They moved to this city several years
ago where they have erected a very
nice home with pleasant surroundings.
The loss of mother in this home will be
greater as time passes and they realize
more and more of her worth. Mr..
Cola has the sympathy of the commu-
nifty in his great loss.
The funeral service will take place
Friday morning at 9:30 in the Catholic
Church, Rev. Beyerle officiating.

The Reporters Platform.

A marked paper has been sent to this
office with q request to reprint bitter
attack upon the Roman Catholic
Church. We believe in 'the inalien-
able right of every man to worship
God according to the dictates of his
own conscience" and cannot be party
to any persecution. Doubtless there
are errors in that as we'll as in other
branches Of 'the Church" Doubtless
there are bad men in the church;
unworthy priests wear the robes;
sisters that fall short of their high
calling; but not knowing such we have
no right to assail the church. All fail
in reaching a perfect standard. A
newspaper gotten up for the public is
for the public good and we owe to our
Catholic subscribers the same good will
and courtesy we owe to non-Catholics.
Our Catholic citizens and Catholic
institutions here are respected and
honored and the REPORTER cannot be
used as a mouthpiece to hurl anathemas
at them or any other religious society.

NOT "BUCK FEVER
But Beautiful Buck the Result of a
Long Chase.

Since the 18th of October Messrs.
George and Joseph Snyder and George
Ayshford have been in camp on the
Ten Mile Creek deer hunting. They
are recognized as the most successful
deer hunters in this section Of the state.
Last fall they killed 80 deer, so far this
month they have captured without the
aid of dogs, IA. To have an interesting
and successful hunt, our friend Geo. n.
Wood accompanied the above party last
Saturday for deer hunt. They were
not out in the woods long before they
raised beautiful Buck. He gave them
a long and tiresom chase but Mr.. Wood
proved equal to the occasion and felled
him with buckshot The deer was
gamey and Messrs. Geo. Ayshford and
Geo. Snyder each shot him also for fear
he might not be mortaly wounded. The
deer was brought to the city Sunday
and weighed 200 pounds dressed.

Look Out for Opportunities.

The weather has cleared off and the
soft Autumn days are full of charm and
beauty. Elms and willows show all
shades of greenish yellows, while the
rock maple, the sumach and the wild
ivy flame out in vivid crimson. The
oak with russet hues and the deep
sombre green of the pines paint with
natures most marvellous colors picture
There is perpetual and changeful
beauty in Wisconsin's Autumn land.
scapes that rival anything the grand
array of the Art Gallery can give.
While going into ecstacies over the
color schemes shown on canvas bear in
mind that a day ride from here to
Chicago over the Wisconsin Central is
worth as much in sight seeing to one
who cares for forest, lake and stream,
blue skies and varied scenery, as any
one day in Chicago.
A day out nearer home can be
enjoyed by a trip to Nekoosa or any of
the surrounding towns. A long winter
is just before US, the loveliness of
Autumn is fleeting. The outings taken
IN riding through changeful scenes IS
restful to mind and body and upbuilds
the health. \ day spent on the rail-
road is better than weeks doctoring.
There has never been a time when
rates were so cheap as now, and our
citizens should exert themselves to
take advantage of it. Go to the
Worlds Fair for the next five days, it's
your last chance. Go by daylight over
the Wisconsin Central If the health is
poor or recreation needed Go by any
of the roads that can be made most
convenient but get as much daylight
and sunshine in the trip as possible.
1t is to be regretted that the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul R. r. took off
their day trains and strong protest
has gone up against such course but
we must do the best we can with the
means provided.

VINEGAR LAW.

Chapter 394 of the laws of 1891 pro-
vides penalty for the sale of vinegar
that does not conform to certain condi-
tons therein expressed and the seller
is made liable to a prosecution for a
misdemeanor, the penalty for which is
a fine fixed from $1,000 to $4,000.
Briefly, the law requires that all vim
egars shall have an acidity equivalent to
4 per cent. of acetic acid and that all
cider vinegars shall contain, in addition,
2 per cent. of cider vinegar solids. The
dealer who handles goods not conform
ing with these requirements is liable to
arrest and trial, and ignorance of the
quality of the goods is not a sufficient
defense.
The majority of jobbers and manu-
facturers doing business in Wisconsin
endeavor to supply their trade with
goods in full conformity to the standard,
but this department deems it incumbent,
for the best interests of the Wisconsin
trade to state that certain manufacturers
outside of this state have been the most
persistent and open violators of this
statute, relying on their location to pro-
tect them from the provisions of the
law. Circulars, containing letters from
several chemists, constitute one Of the
chief means that they employ to make
sales and while these chemists guarantee
&bo Of 1n+
one in the entire number gives single
percentage either of acid or solids, a
vital point in Wisconsin. Another
noticeable feature of the circular is that
none of the chemists are III any way
connected with any food bureau where
an arbitrary standard for vinegar IS
fixed. Of eighteen samples that have
been recently analyzed by this depart
ment, not one is of grade that does
not lay the retailer liable to prosecution.
The most feasible plan of insuring a
supply of legal vinegar is to buy, subject
to the state test and send an eight ounce
sample to the Dairy and Food Commits
sion, at Madison, giving the brand on
the barrel and the makers name. The
vinegar will be promptly reported upon
free of charge and the merchant can
then pay for his goods a I'D sell them in
security. This course will avoid any
possible lawsuit and secure what We
wish to ask, the cooperation of the
Wisconsin trade in enforcing the law.
Yours respectfully,
d. J.. HARKNESS,
Dairy and Food Commissioner.

Inconsistency and Inhunlanity.

Human nature is the only thing in
the realm of Gods providence that is
utterly and proverbially inconsistent.
Natures moods, though variable, are
ever consistent, and he who is wise will
heed her signs. The summers sun
shine, the winters cold, the warning of
the elements, the earthquakes shock
or the volcanic eruption follow in the
everlasting and consistent laws of
natures God. Animate and lnanimate
objects of creation live and move and
act even as an undertaking instinct of
nature prompts them to. Man alone is
unjust, inconsistent, 1nharmonious to
the laws of his being. He alone possess
es dual nature and ever contradicts
himself in his daily walks of life. Man
alone invites, by encouraging trans
gression of its rules, a disregard of
them, then turns and rends the victim
or pardons as the wayward mood sees
fit. The world says to the convicted
sinner: "Atone for the wrong thou hast
done and sin no more. Win place and
power and riches and thou shalt have
forgiveness" Then, though the wrong
is not atoned for, though the evil is
perpetuated forgetfulness is purchased
and the doubly wronged victim is
forced to pay the penalty. Honor and
Duty and Self Denial are heroic, high
sounding words that the world processes
to reverence, but Greed and Avarice
and Selfshness are given the high
places. Cant is arrayed against humility; !;
women are bitter, unforgiving and
cruel to their less fortunate sisters;
Christianity compromises with gilded
sin; Justice lets gold make the balance;
unmerciful persecution allows women
to be wrecked and man debased that
seeming of purity. We license evil and
permit sin and guard it's votaries by
legislation and secrecy, while we
ostracise, persecute and punish the few
who for some incomprehensible reason
society chooses to restrain.
We are told falsehood is abhorrent,
but the liar is quoted and has a front
seat in the synagogue. We say the
world hates thief but the thief in silk
attire or the fraudulent millionaire is
honored and coulted while their
victims are looked down upon for their
poverty. We build splendid homes for
the Orphans and feed them on porridge
ard Goldfish gravy. We endow homes
for the widowed and poor and cut the
pockets from their gowns. We open
refugees for the outcast and friendless,
who, when in their penitence and
misery enter to receive the help, find
themselves prisoners obliged to work
out ransom far exceeding the help
given. The rich are made richer and
the poor poorer in the name Of benevo-
lence. The church is made a stepping
stone to reach the confidence of the
people for gain or use.
The home is oftimes the purchasing
power of marital relations. Mans in
humanity to man is evidenced even by
the same men who hold out full hands
to fellow creatures, who are objects of
want and suffering, good and bad are
almost equally mixed in human nature,
hence few are consistent.

Barn Burned.

A barn, horse, COW and about eleven
tons of hay, the property of Rudolph
Voight Jr., who resides in the town of
Grand Rapids, was destroyed by fire
last Thursday night. The origin Of the
fire is not known and when it was
discovered the whole barn was ablaze.
The ashes of a human being are
thought to have been found among the
ruins. This leads to the conclusion
that perhaps a tramp found refuge
there and set the fire and was consumed
by it. The loss is estimated at $500 and
insured for 500.
