CATHOLIC CHURCH SOCIETY.
In a Prosperous Condition. Bishop
7essmer here Sunday.

On Sunday last first communion and
confirmation services were held in the
Catholic Church and Bishop Messmer,
of Green Bay, was present and otficiated
assisted by Eicor General Fox, of the
same place, and Rev. A. Van Sever, Of
Rudolph. The altar Of the church was
beautifully decorated with vines and
roses by sisters Superior NJ. Calliopa,
NJ. Almira, NJ. Waldeberta, and candi
date Leona, who exhibited excellent
taste in the arrangement. Their large
church edifce was crowded to the
doors. The Catholic knights, school
children and members of the church
and congregation to the number Of 500
formed in line at 1870 and marched
around the McRaith block to the
parsonage and escorted the Bishop,
Vicor General and Father Van Sever to
the church building prior to the morn
ing service. First communion was
made by the children at eight o'clock in
the morning and High Mass held at
10:30 in charge of Father Fox. The
Bishop addressed the congregation at
length upon the Importance of giving
their children proper religious training
and education and he preferred the
Catholic parochial school for that pur-
pose. He believes in moral training
first, education second; that the only
place for a Catholic to get proper
religious training is in a Catholic
parochial school. The address from his
standpoint was clear, logical and
convincing. At 8 o'clock III the after
noon the Bishop administered the
confirmation sacrament to a large
number of girls and boys, which service
was also very largely attended.
The large school building which has
just recently been completed was dedi-
Gated Monday morning by the Bishop
with proper services. The sisters above
mentioned are teachers in this school
and began their work Immediately after
the dedicatory services were over. 1t
is fine two-story building vaneered
with brick, having also large basement.
1t is nicely furnished and ADDS greatly
to the value of the Catholic church
property. This society have every
reason to be proud of their success and
advancement in the twin cities. Rev.
Beyerle, the local Priest, is a popular
man we'll liked by all denominations
for he is liberal in his views and
thoroughly gentleman.

LOGGING OPERATIONS.

The firm of DAILY & Sampson are
probably among the largest log opera
tors in the northern part of the state.
They put in 100000 feet of pine this
summer and have already commenced
operations to put in more near the state
line in Villas county. They sent up
sixteen head of draught horses Sunday
morning in charge of Frank Kline,
Geo. Linton and Mike kotoskey. They
went via junction City and crossed the
Wisconsin river at Knowlton which
shortens the distance about 20 miles.
They purchased Of the Sherry Cameron
Co., their logging engine, ten cars and
3 miles of rail which they shipped to
Rummell Siding, a small station on the
Lake Shore railroad. and placed track
into the timber land to be used for
logging purposes. They also purchased
over mile of rails from the c., NJ, &
st. Paul Co. for side tracks and switches.
They intend to put in about 20,00O 600
feet for the I. B. Scott Lumber Co., and
100000 for the Merrill Lumber Co.
this winter.
A large crew of their men left Mon
day morning for the woods, among
them we noticed Dick Stevenson, VIM.
Meglin and Harry Wheelan. Later
they will probably run several camps in
the town of Nesper where they have a
contract with the John Edwards Mfg

Death of VIM. Risbee.

From the Merrill Advocate we learn
of the death of VIM. Bisbee, oldest son
of D. P. Bisbee who formerly lived at
Vesper, but now resident of Covina,
California. We clip the following
account from that paper:
Last Tuesday, Sept. 4, William Bisbee
died at his home in W1thee, Wis. The
remains were brought to this city
where the funeral occurred last Thurs
day from the west side Presbyterian
church, Rev. H. L. Brown officiating
Mr.. Bisbee was for number of years a
resident of this city, and while here
was engaged III the lumber business.
Two or three years ago he moved to
Withee where he has since resided
Mr.. Bisbee leaves a wife; father, D. P
Bisbee, of Covina, Cal; three sisters,
Ms. G. Archer and Mrs. c. Anderson,
Drummond, Wis, and Mrs VIM. FaIk,
Eagle River, Wis. two brothers, Frank
and E. I. Bisbee, of Merrill.
Mr.. Bisbee was 4 progressive and
hustling citizen and had large circle of
friends here who are panied to learn of
his early death. He was born at
Newport, Wis, May 25, 1859, conse-
quently he was 80 years, months and
10 days of age at the time of his death.
The family and friends have the
sympathy of the community in this
their sad loss.

Condition of Trade.

Business has met no set back this
week, and continues larger than early
in August, and larger than year ago
after the panic. More COM
mercial paper is offered, the Western
demand for money increases, the iron
manufacture greatly expands its output,
shipments Of shoes continue large, and
cotton goods still advance little. In
some directions the postponed business
has about spent itself, and less active
trade results, while the net increase has
been not much more than is usually
seen in passing from August into Sep
tember. In comparison with last year
the increase is 10 per cent. in volume
of clearings, while in comparison with
September, 1892, the decrease is 25. :
per cent. Railroad earnings in Septem-
Der thus far reported are 1.3 per cent.
less than last year, but 15.5 per cent
less than in 1892, and the tonnage COM
parison shows substantially the same
result. The country has now passed
nearly three weeks under the new
tariff, and all admit that changes have
been of less Importance as vet than was
expected. If in some branches business
has materially increased, it has gained
a little or has fallen off in others.-Dun's s
Review.

may be next year. those who are
obliged to drive to any of the suburban
towns could do so in just one-half the
time it takes now aud besides it would
be easier on horse flesh. Too much
cannot be said in favor of good roads.
While driving in the town of Sherry
the past week our reporter could not
help but note the great contrast in the
roads of this town when compared with
those Of Rudolph. While the roads in
Rudolph may be considered fair they
are nevertheless far behind those in
Sherry. In Sherry they have estab-
lished a grade of So feet in width,
taking out all stumps, logs and stones.
The roads are laid out on the lines and
no corduroy is permitted. No town in
the county has made such progress in
providing good roads as Sherry, due
largely to the efficient service of Geo.
Smith, who is an active believer in
first-class country thoroughfares.
The town of Grand Rapids is moving
III one good direction and that is in
building all culverts of stone instead of
plank. Every town in the county
should own a road machine and make
good use of it in turnpiking and main
tanning its roads.
The cities of Grand Rapids, Centralia
and Marshfeld, and towns of Wood,
Port Edwards and Grand Rapids have
machines now and there is much room
for their use. Civilization is better
represented by good roads than in most
any other way.

Overland from Prairie du CHEN.

Mr. Alexander Parland, Of Prairie du
Chen, drove overland with his wife
and three children. He came via
Richland Center where he stopped with
friends for two DAYS on his way to
Stevens Point where he will visit rela-
tives. He reached this city Saturday
and camped on the river
bank just south of the city. He had 1.-TWO
wagons, four horses and carried tent
and camping outfit. He came distance
of 225 miles in five days. They kept
well and enjoyed this method of travel
ing immensely. They left Sunday
morning for Stevens point.

GOOD ROADS.

The movement to promote the build
ing of good roads is one that appeals TO
all sorts and conditions of men. It is
being agitated in many parts Of the
country with the expectation that the
agitation will gradually gather sufficient
strength to bring about great improve
ment in the roads of all our states.
Like many other movements that are
acknowledged to compass the general
good Of the people there is little or
nothing done by those in authority to
forward it. There is always required
the hardest kind of work by public
spirited citizens to secure the accom-
plishment of the desired end.
In the case of the movement for good
roads the bicycle riders of the country
are bearing the brunt of the burden of
labor on their behalf. Inasmuch as
they are especially interested in the
building of good roads and have the
benefit of organization to assist them in
their work, their eXertiOns in that
direction are likely to be vigorous and
successful. The announcement made
that the League of American Wheelmen
has decided to take an active part in
politics at an early date indicates that
the bicyclists are not relinquishing their
efforts in behalf of good roads, but are
going at the question with renewed
energy. The president Of the league
proposes that a campaign be started in
all the different states. He thinks that
candidates for the legislature can be
impressed with the need of giving
attention to this important subject.
There is something very practical
about this method of getting at the
legislatures If the Wheelmen follow
the suggestion and hold together, they
are bound to gain their point By
making q strong campaign there is no
doubt that many other voters can be
induced to join them on the same issue.
Hardly anything is more necessary
than good roads, and the wheelmen
should have the assistance of all voters
in seeking to get legislation for this
object
Let our business men, farmers and
citizens generally lend more interest to
this matter here in Wood county. The
results will be beneficial 10 al alike
whether on business or pleasure they
travel the country highways. A drive to
Nekoosa or the town of Sherry and then
to Rudolph emphasizes at once the
advantage and value of gooG roads. In
driving to Nekoosa Monday we found a
great change in the condition of the
road from here to Port Edwards. We
take pleasure in noting the fact that Mr..
L. NJ. Alexander, who pays nine-tenths
of the road tax in the town of Port
Edwards, has had covered, graded and
rolled the entire roadbed from Cleve-
lands residence in that town to his
residence corner, distance of more
than one mile. Clay and gravel were
used and the road is now hard and dry
where it formerly was sandy and heavy
While the work is not yet complete, it
is such an Improvement over the old
road that every man who has occasion
to travel that way will appreciate the
difference. If this could be done all
the way to Nekoosa (and we hope it
