Clam Bake.

While at Asbury Park, \. J. we
witnessed our first clam bake. In
magnitude it is something like a
barbecue so common in the northern
states. This bake was spread at a farm
house at noon time on Saturday the day
of our drive. Hours before the arrival
of the guests two cords of seasoned oak
wood piled around a double heap of
great cobble stones were blazing
furiously. When the time for the
spread drew near and the stones were
brought to such a heat thatthey cracked
and fell apart when touched, the
glowing embers were raked off, the hot
stones swept clean and ring of damp
seaWeed raked around the circles.
Then the heaps were prepared for the
bake, which was laid directly on the
hot stones. They contained sixty
bushels or IS, 900 CLAIMS, three barrels of
Holsters, 900 ears of corn, $50 chickens
and 500 pounds of fish. Fish and
potatoes were wrapped in thin coverings
of cheese cloth. Corn was baked in
the husks. When everything was on, a
huge wet canvas was drawn tightly over
all and seaweed strewn thickly over the
top. This covering confined the steam
which the moisture from the CLAIMS
generated and which served to cook the
bake. Fifty minutes were allowed for
cooking. Covers for 900 had been
placed on four long tables on a shady
slope that looked toward the inlet so
that the guests could ENJOY the
performance Of boating parties while

DEATH OF rIRS. JANE JOHNSTON

"In the midst of life, we are in death"
is an old quotation which is often
brought to our attention by the death of
citizens and friends. This week we are
panied to note the death of Mrs. Jane
Johnston, wife Of Mr.. Dick Johnston,
who is an old resident of Grand Rapids.
Mrs. Johnston has been poorly since
last fall. Prior to her death her disease
took the form Of dropsey of which size
died. She suffered untold pain but she
was patient through it all. She was a
kind christian woman respected by all
those who came within the radius of
her acquaintance. She leaves her
husband four brothers and one sister to
mourn her death.
The funeral service took place Sunday
morning at the Catholic church, Rev.
Beyerle officiating. A large number of
friends and citizens paid their last
repects to one whom they had learned
to love and admire for her many
Christian qualities.

hrs. c.. o. Baker in r1icfligan.

We take the following item from the
Mainstee Daily News Of recent date:
Mrs. c. 0. Baker and Mrs. Howard
Martin, the lady lecturers, left this
afternoon for Traverse City. While
here they made many warm friends
among the ladies who were benefited
by their practical and charming talks
on physical culture and the evils to be
overcome, to bring woman up to the
highest standard of pure womanhood.
Mrs. Bakers lecture on "What Should
a Woman do; What Should a Woman
Know" at Union Hall on Thursday,
was attended by a large circle of ladies
interested in the advancement and
health Of their sex. At Filler City, on
Friday afternoon, Mrs. Martin faced a
splendid audience Of mothers and
daughters who were strongly impressed
with the intenseness and eIoquonce of
the speaker on the subject of woman
hood. ''Woman Know Thyself' was
ably treated by the lady and her hearers
felt greatly benefited after listening to
the discourse.

Fire Near MedfOrd.

E. I. Wheelock, editor of the Medford
Star and News, gives the following
account Of a fire near and round about
Powetl's saw mill:
The story Of the fight for life and
property which were threatened by
forest fires in many places in northern
Wisconsin last week, reads like a page
from some highly colored tales Of
adventures, and proves the truth Of the
old saw, truth is stranger than fiction"
There are many cases where settlers
barely escaped with their lives and it is
probable that some fatalities have
occurred that have nOtye been reported.
At no place was the fight more
desperate than at PoWel's mill, about
seven miles northwest Of this city
Fully 150 souls, men, women and
children, were penned by the flames in
a space that did not cover more than
three acres of land, and they were so
hedged about by fire that escape from
that spot was, practically, hopeless.
Within the space was the saw mill
owned by Mr.. Powell, large barn filed
with hay, a dwelling, and several sheds,
shops, etc, that, had the fire once
gained an advantage within the clearing,
there can be no question that many
lives would have been lost. 1t was only
by the ceaseless efforts of the men,
weary and almost suffocating as they
were, that the flames were fought back
and kept from crossing the line that
marked the limit of safety to the
imprisoned settlers. Mr.. Powel's loss
is very heavy, and can be estimated
only with difficulty, as part Of the loss
is on standing timber. He lost about
?. 20 cords of bark peeled and piled in
the woods; about ~ tons of hay; 800, 900
feet of logs on rollways; 3 horses; and
two sections of land belonging to him
and covered with green timber, were
burned over.

MAJOR UPaA8 FOR GOVERNOR.
An apparent purpose on the part {

An apparent purpose on the part OF
the Milwaukee Journal to misrepresent
the attitude of Republicans in this
COUNTY towards the candidacy of Major
Uphaln. renders 1t proper that the
REPORTER make reasonable haste to give
expression to lis scnt.uents, and what
ii believes 10 be the sentiment of all
Republicans who did not favor Major
Tphans' S nomination. with reference to
lis and their duly and purpose in the
pending campaign. It Wculd be useless
or worse, 10 attempt TO conceal the fact
that many Republicans in Wood county
believed Mr.. Upham's candidacy i'll
advised; that his nomination, if made,
would be a mistake. This opinion was
freely and openly expressed It was
the result of facts, or supposed facts,
the details of which are we'll understood
and have been publicly discussed in
this county from time to time. So far
as they concerned individuals as
such, they resulted in a misunderstand-
ing between Republicans, and not
between those belonging to different
political parties. To that extent, at
least, it became a ''family affair" which
directly concerned Republicans and no
one else. AS a member Of the great
Republican household, therefore, the
REPORTER in common with others of like
situation, is called upon to deal with the
questions Of the law as it meets them.
The late Republican State Convention
was made up of as fine body OF men as
have assembled in this State since the
war. 1t contained many men of dis
tinguished ability. It's deliberations
were guided by sincere patriotism; and
while rivalries between candidates and
their respective supporters were sharp
and spirited, it was the evident purpose
of the great majority to select a ticket
that should be justly acceptable to the
party and to the people of the State.
No complaint is OF has been anywhere
made that its proceedings were not
characterized by perfect fairness from
beginning to end. Major Upham was
nominated for governor by that honor
able body. He was deemed worthy of
that great honor by the convention or it
would not have been conferred upon
him. The choice of the convention,
under such circumstances, thereby
became the choice and candidate of the
party, and as such the representative of
its principles, which are greater than
any man. "Men are nothing; principle
everything" That he is capable of
making a good governor there can be
no doubt. That it is and will be his
purpose to give the State an able and
faithful administration is as certain as
that the human mind acts from ade-
quate motive That he will be elected
by an overwhelming majority, and that
all interested men will receive at his
hands the full measure Of justice, in
which no trace of maIace or i'll will, will
be discovered, is the confident and
sincere prediction and wish Of the
REPORTER, and its humble voice and
service will be devoted to the accom-
pIishment of his triumphant election,
together with that of his associates up
on the Republican ticket.

ENCL1ND'S YACHTING VICTORTFS

The successive defeats Of the Vigilant cannot
be explained away. Doubtless she was not in
racing condition so soon after the strain ~ an
ocean voyage; her sails may have been out Of
gear and the boat may have been improperly
ballastcd: the courses unfamiliar and
markedly different from those In American
watcrs the winds have been light and battling;
and the Britannia has had nearly all the luck
All these pleas may be offered in cytpnua,ion

when everything is said the Britannia's s,i-

waters must be reluctantly conceded az the case

luck In six races The result Of the contests on
the Clyde while an unpleasant surprise 10
Americans IS Ineligible only on the theory that
the Viglan, with her handicap OF three minutes
is not n match for the Britannia in British
waters especially In light winds.
Captain Half ought to be good Judge Of the
Vigilants work. and he declares cmphatlcally
that she Is sailing ms well as she did when she
met the Valkyrie. His explanation Of the uncx-
pccted defeats is a manly and sensible one.
The BRITANNIA he says, Is faster than anybody
i'm America supposed. Mr. Carroll In like man

on any other assumption than wonderful I'M

with her. Yachting has Its surprises and uncer-
taintics, and IL Is possible that the Vlgant
will make better record in the Irish courses,
and that she will win the Channel race from the
Needles TO ChcrbOurg and back: but the more
