Port Edwards.

In company with Geo. E. Hoskinson,
President Of the Pioneer Wood Pulp
Co.'S mills in this city we drove to Port
Edwards the past week to see what
progress had been made there in the
construction of the new Paper and
Pulp mill. We found it a lovely drive
upon the west bank of the Wisconsin
river possessing charming scenery not
fully appreciated by those who are
accustomed to make this drive regu-
larly. Common place scenes like those
along the river are apt to lose their
attraCtiyeness on account Of their easy
access. Strangers who come among US
90 in raptures over these same scenes
which to US have become common
place. Whyisit? Lack ofappreciation
and knowledge of the beautiful.
We were surprised upon arrival at
the works to find the brick work well
advanced upon the walls Of the paper
mill and finishing rooms. The founda-
ton walls of the pulp mill and smoke
stack we'll advanced and 325 men and 80
teams employed upon the works. The
magnitude and expense incurred in the
erection of this plant is not appreciated
except by a personal visit to the place.
The money expended in labor alone
among the laboring men Of the two
cities is a great help during these
present dull times. $4,000 is paid out
every month for labor, say nothing Of
the amount paid out for brick, stone
and material of all kinds. The
management are particular about
having everything frst-class and labor
and expense is not spared to the
disadvantage of the construction. Mr..
Alexander is giving his personal atten-
ton to all the details and is very
anxious to have all work done
thoroughly and perfect as it can be.
He looks forward to its completion
before snow flies.
The Company's land north Of the
village is being plated upon which
several new houses will be erected this
season. Lots will be sold to laborers
who desire to make Port Edwards their
home and who have permanent
employment with the company.
A visit to Port Edwards will we'll
repay any one who have not been down
there since the commencement Of the
great change from the manufacture Of
lumber to that of pulp and paper.

Lively Runaway

Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Matthews, an
aged couple residing in the town of
Saratoga, were mixed Up IN a hazardous
runaway Tuesday evening which very
fortunately did not result seriously al
though they were badly frightened and
shaken up. The elderly people were
driving to town with frisky colt to call
upon their son who is sick at the Mellin
hospital. When opposite the Brennan
home near the outskirts of the city a
boy on horseback came up behind them
suddenly, and as quickly passed them.
The Matthews colt was frightened into
a run and got beyond the control Of its
driver. The occupants were thrown
from the buggy just before reaching
Carman's corner. Mrs. Matthew's left
arm was badly bruised and strained
Mr.. Matthews got up without injury.
The colt turned the corner in his mad
speed and passed between the trees and
fence. 1t struck two hitching posts
leaving pieces of the buggy on each and
continued to run down the Spafford
hill as far as the NJ. E. Church where it
was stopped. Parts ofthe harness were
strewn all along the road and the en-
tire rig was completely demolished.
An attempt was made to stop the
animal when it first started but the run
ner was too vicious. Mr.. and Mrs.
Matthews were happy to escape with
so slight injuries.

A Hypnotist Coming.

Prof. C. c. Fontana, the hypnotist,
and his company will appear at the
opera house Monday, July 9th, for
three nights with unexplicable, anus
ing and extraordinary exhibitions of
phenomenal powers. We have press
notes from Oshkosh, Appleton, Beaver
Dam and Waupaca speaking well of
them, and that they advertise nothing
but what can be seen upon the stage.
A few of the many things which will
be seen is the feat of Miss Grace Eden
who lifts a man of $50 pounds by simply
laying her hand upon his head; she
will stand calmly upon the stage and
eight strong men cannot move her;
she will lift from the floor as many men
as can cling to chair by merely touch
ing the tips of her fingers to the rounds
of the chair; she will be blindfolded
and tell you dates on coins you may
have with you; tell you time Of day to
the second by your own watch. These
are but few Of the many things which
they perform.
One lady free with each paid reserved
seat ticket Monday night.
Prices are 10, 20 and 50 cents, reserve
seats now on sale at the post office
Grand Rapids.

At Stevens Point.

Stevens Point, our neighboring town,
entertained nearly 1000 strangers on
Sunday, the occasion of baseball
tournament between the Chippewa
Falls and Marshfeld, Stevens Point and
and Portage mines. The hotels were
crowded beyond their capacity and we
understand our former townsman land
lord Crotteau had to turn great many
guests unentertained from Hotel
McGregor.
The ball games were played in the
afternoon Chippewa Falls and Marsh
field first taking the diamond; the
former won on score of to Z.
Immediately following this game,
Portage and Stevens Point were con-
tested in one of the most interesting
ball games ever seen in this section of
the State. Portage and it's invincible
amateur thrower Elliott, was too much
for the Point boys and the score
resulted to in favor of Portage.
A nice string of wheelmen rode from
the twin cities to see the games among
whom We noted:
Harry Rablin, Chas. E. Lord, Emmett
Carey, E. B. Grignon, Wilbur Briere,
William Dessaint, Arthur Houston,
Harry Baumsach, Gus Otto, Carl Mad
sen, Robert Rowland, Otto Roenius.
Geo. Warren, Tom Nash, Geo. Booth,
Bert Smith, Eddie DAILY, Orrin Gray,
Jr., Ben. J. Closuit, Guild Smart.
Enthusiastic ball men in our cities
are now considering the feasibility of
holding a tournament in this city at
which time the locals and an outside
club could furnish the minor game, and
Portage and Chippewa Falls play the
decisive game of the Stevens Point
tournament. We are centrally located
for trains and without doubt this
matter could be successfully handled
here

Narrow Escape from Drowning.

Will Gross two year old son had a
narrow escape from drowning Tuesday
noon. He was playing near the open
we'll at home when he lost his balance
and fell into the we'll head first in about
eight feet of water. He was noticed to
fall by the hired girl who was near by
who came to his assistance. When she
reached the we'll she noticed him upon
the bottom and when he came up the
first time she rescued him. He was
pale and full of water but his anxious
mother and grandma soon had him out
of danger.

Marshfieid Boy Found.

While berrying on Saturday a young
Weber boy residing in Marshfeld was
lost. Search was instituted for him on
Sunday without success. On Monday
morning the factories were closed and
all hands turned out to search for him.
The search was through an almost
impenetrable forest, but the boy was
found at 10 a. m. nearly four miles from
the city, almost dead from exposure
and fright His face and hands were
badly bitten by mosquitoes and flies.
He was too weak to talk much, but said
he slept under logs and subsisted on
berries. A bear came at night and
growled, but when he got up to run the
bear took leave first. His meeting
with his parents who had given him up
for dead was most pathetic.

The Reception to Mr.. Minor.

Green Bay Advocate, (Dem.): The
reception given Congressman Minor
last evening by the Green Bay Business
Mems Association was of such a nature
that it must have been a source of much
pleasure to that gentleman. The Green
Bay Business Mems Association is
composed of men from both political
parties; and in their efforts to advance
the interests of Green Bay both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans put their
shoulders to the wheel. When Mr.
Minor was invited by the association to
spend a social evening with its members
it was understood that an expression of
the association as to how the members
were satisfied with the work of the
congressman from this district should
be voiced. This was done by President
Mitchell JOannes IN a very able and
carefully prepared paper.
While the Advocate was opposed to
the election of Mr.. Minor, as it would
have been to any other Republican,
yet, as has been stated IN its columns
many times, it believes in giving credit
where credit is due. Mr.. Minor s
| ideas upon many subjects are diametri-
| cally opposed to those held by Demo
Gratis and it is on these grounds that
ngnI was mau6 agalusG uIn. but II
cannot be said that he has done less
for Green Bay than would have been
accomplished had a Democrat been
elected. Mr.. Minor has worked hard
and the appropriation which the city
will receive for public building GER
tainlv shows that the interest of this
city has been carefully attended to.
The Business Mems Association real
lied that Green Bay has not suffered
| by lack of federal consideration and in
| its efforts to show its appreciation It de-
serves considerable credit. If such
gatherings and expression of sentiment
of the people would return to their
duties with better spirits, knowing that
their efforts in behalf of their constitu-
ents were being appreciated.

This is the man whom the machine or
present administration will retain in
office if Major Scofeld succeeds in
being nominated and elected. He Is a
jewel and ought to be continued in

We presume the Governor must be
proud of his executive clerk, if of no
other employe upon his staff.

Resolutions of Respect.

At the last session of Rainbow Chap
ter Of the Eastern Starr the following
resolutions were adopted:
In the sad and untimely death of our
beloved brother, Chas. A. Spencer, we
recognize the supreme hand Of Hin
who has the power to remove US from
our earthly labOrs and associations to do
duty in broader field within a higher
jurisdiction. Recognizing that this
change was inevitable and that death is
the absolute inheritance of all men, and
that in conformity with the laws of our
being, our late brother has preceded us
only little time, we mourn him as
nature impels mortals to mourn friends
lost to view. He was our brother in
deed and in truth and the first member
of Rainbow Chapter to be called home
from labor to eternal rest. He was
generous, noble and true and a most
friend. His loss is, indeed, bereave-
ment. We mourn it as such; and we
commend his good example to the
admiration and emulation of all. Be
it, therefore, by this order
RESOLVED, That in the death of our
late brother, Chas. A. Spencer, our
lodge has lost worthy member and
brother and our community a good
citizen. To his mother, sister and
brothers we extend our sincerest con-
dolence in their great affiiction. And
be it also
RESOLVED, That the foregoing
preamble and these resolutions be
entered at length upon the records of
this lodge, and certified copy thereof
be presented to the family of our late
brother; and also that the same be
published in the city papers.

1t strikes us that there is quite an un-

figures, yet we may be mistaken. From
the discussion heard among those asses
sed we know there is great variety of
opinion.
