TRUE BLUE.

The Marion Kirby Camp No. 10 Sons
of Veterans have made arrangements
for the production of c. P. Spaulding's
grand realistic spectacular war drama,
True Blue" at the Opera House on the
evenings of Thursday and Friday April
2nd and Sd. Mr.. Spaulding has pro-
duced "True Blue" in all the larger
cities Of the state to enthusiastic and
delighted audiences. This drama is a
true and realistic presentation of many
of the battles and incidents which
occurred during the war Of the re-
bellion, and appeals strongly to the
patriotism of the audience. The battle
scenes and horrors of Libby prison, the
final victory for the old flag, the cap
lures, the hair-breadth escapes and the
triumph of right over wrong, make it
one of the mostinteresting and thrilling
plays ever produced. The proceeds are
for the benefit of the treasury of the
Sons Of Veterans. Mr.. 'Spaulding will
be assisted by the best local talent of
our city.

Fatherly Advice To a Boy.

The following, which is taken from
the Philadelphia Times, contains
considerable wholesome advice:
Remember, son, that the world is
older than you are by several years;
that for thousands of years it has been
so full of smarter, better and younger
men than yourself that their feet stuck
out of the dormer windows, but when
they died the old globe went Jogging
along, and not one older person in ten
million went to the funeral or even
heard of their death. Be as smart as
you can, of course. Know as much as
you can without blowing the packing
out of your cylinder heads. Shed the
light of your wisdom abroad, but don't
dazzle people with it, and imagine
thing SO. Don't be too sorry for your
father because he knows so much less
than you do. The world has great need
of young men, but no greater need than
the young men have for it. Your
clothes fit better than your fathers fit
blCy COSl lllOl6 llOuC1 tutN are
more stylish; your moustache is neater,
the cut of your hair is better and you
are prettier, oh far prettier than pa
But stop moment, young man, and
reflect. The old gentleman gets the
bigger salary and his homely, scramb-
ling signature on the business end of
check will drain more money out of the
bank in five minutes than perhaps your
handsome autograph can do during the
rest of your mortal life.
Young men are useful and they are
ornamental, and we all like them-but
they are no novelties, son-oh no,
nothing of the kind; they have been
here before. Don't be 50 modest as to
shut yourself clear out, but don't be SO
fresh that you will have to be put in the
cooler to keep from spelling. Don't be
afraid that people all over the world are
looking for you, for if you are worth
finding they will find you.'

For St. Patrick.

Tuesday was perfect day. The
green ioated freely to the breezes, the
shamrock was in evidence and the sun
shone down upon us in all its splendor
These things were in honor of St.
Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland
who drove snakes from the green isle,
converted the heathen islanders and by
the use of the leaf of trefoil explained
the doctrine of the trinity, by showing
how three leaves might be united and
yet be but one, since which time the
shamrock has been recognized as the
national emblem. 1t is also said that
he taught the natives how to mix theil
liquor and died at the good old age Of
l23, A. D. 432, and was buried in the
cathedral city of Down. And if the
good St. Patrick did 1.-THE of what is
claimed for him it would be pretty hard
to do too much to his honor.

RESOLUTIONS.

Headquarters WOOD, County Post, No.
%, Department G. A. r., March 18th,
1896.
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased the Supreme
Commander of us all to muster from
our ranks Comrade William Horton
Whitman and while we bow our heads
and graciously submit to all orders from
our Supreme Commander, we deeply
regret the loss Of our lamented Comrade.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That in
the death of our Comrade Whitman,
Wood County Post No. %, Department
Of Wisconsin G. A. R., has lost an
esteemed and faithful comrade, whose
heart was ever ready to perform a
generous act or kind deed toward
anyone needing assistance. AS COM
rade and citizen he was ever reliable
and trustworthy. Comrade Whitman
was Private of the 46th Regt. Wis.
Vol. Infantry and honorably discharged
from the same at the close Of the war.
RESOLVED, That we comrades of
Wood County Post, extend to his widow
and family our sincere sympathy in this
their loss, which is also ours, we assure
them that the memory of their loved
one, will ever be cherished by his
comrades.
RESOLVED, That these Resolutions be
be spread upon The Post Records and
also published in of the city papers.

up monthly to each stockholder and
will have the effect of reducing his
monthly rental at least 80 cents less than
the rental paid by those not holding
stock.
When each stockholder has recovered
in dividends the amount he has paid for
stock We would be in favor of lowering
the rentals so as to Weld only dividend
that would be fair interest on the
capital invested.
When the company is fully established
and is free from the attacks of any
competitor, it would be well to have an
agreement between the company and
its several stockholders, that the COM
pany should be bound to purchase at
par the stock of each stockholder when
ever the stockholder ceased to rent a
telephone from the company, and at
the same time the company should be
obliged to sell at par one share of stock
to each telephone user.
In this way the mutual and co-opera-
tive character of the Wood County
Telephone Company would be main
tanned and unless it can be made
mutual and cooperative we will regard
all the time we have spent IN organizing
it as time wasted.
But these and many other details that
may be found necessary to perfect our
organization must be left to the integrity
of our associates and the lessons that
the future may have in store for US.

Approached Deaths Door.

Mr.. and Mrs. Will Kellogg were given
quite scare Saturday afternoon over a
prank Of their little three year old son,
which resulted IN something very near
to the serious. The child bad been
playing about the yard and wandered
off into the swampy field hack of their
house to 60 across to Mr.. Chas. f.
Kellog's home. The two pet dogs were
with him. When part way over the
field the little fellow tumbled into a
ditch and was suddenly buried in mud
up to his neck. Try as he would, he
could not free himself. The dogs
seemed to realize the uncomfortable
position of their young master for one
of them was found covered with mud
having evidently attempted to help the
boy out.
At home when the child was missed
Mrs. kellogg and the neighbors institu-
ted a search, looking high and low.
Alarm followed surprise when no traces
of the lost could be found. Finally the
domestic noticed the dogs in the field
back of the house and going to the spot
found the child exhausted and almost
chilled to death He was carried home
and soon revived by tender attention of
loving hands. There is great rejoicing
at this freside over his rescue A half
hour longer in the cold and the family
might now mourn loved one.

"Thanks, Awfully."

The Appleton Post rises to remark
the Green Bay Advocate agrees with it,
and the REPORTER falls in line to say that
the card of thanks idea, a silly and
vulgar one at the best, is still done to
death. 1t reached its highest develop
ment of bad taste and foolishness at
Fond du Lac, where man publishes a
card of thanks returning Heartfelt and
sincere thanks to friends for the mani
fest interest they have exhibited during
my recent severe illness and during my
convalesence." Now let someone have
a ''card of thanks" printed on hand
bills and distributed about the streets
and the climax of this form of Stiffness
will have been reached.

Death of May Smith.

Miss May Smith, daughter of Mrs
J. E. Madden and niece of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. W. Smith, all we'll known in the
twin cities and former residents here,
died at her home in Eagle River Friday
March 18th. The body was brought 10
Grand Rapids Monday evening and
funeral services occurred in the
Catholic Church Tuesday morning at 10
o'clock. Rev. Beyerle officiating.
Miss May Smith was born in Centralia
twenty-one years ago. She passed
most of her school days here attending
the Catholic school, and made her first
communion and was confirmed in the
Catholic church of this city. The young
lady had been cripple since two years
of age and suffered from a hip disloca-
ton for which there seemed to be no
medical relief. She walked at all times
with the assistance Of a crutch. In the
month of October last, May was taken
by friends to Chicago where an operation
was performed and an attempt made 10
straighten the right limb and remedy
the life long ailment. Blood poisoning
set in and two weeks ago she was taken
back to Eagle River where death soon
claimed its own. A large number of
friends in the twin cities accompanied
the remains to their last resting place.
Among the mourners present were I.
B. Walsh, w. J. Walsh, Fred Morey,
Mr.. and Mrs. S. w. Smith and Mrs. J.
E. Madden, all Of Eagle River. Upon
request of relatives, an expression OF
thanks is hereby extended to all who
gave assistance and consolation in the
trying hours.

RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS.
Early In the history Of the State at
tentiOn was given to religious affairs.
Churches were built In every hamlet.
Many were built at convenient lOca-
tions In the country districts. The
church was enabled to do much good
work owing to the prevalence Of school
houses In which all denominations met
until the congregations were able to
build, support and equip church edi-
fee. To-day Kansas churches are
as numerous In proportion to the pop.
ulatton as those Of any State In the
Union. All denominations are well
represented. Several Of the great re.
liglOus minds Of the country have
been assisted In their development
by years Of experience within our State.
DenOminatiOnsl colleges, academies
and schools are numerous, and are lib.
orally patronized and well supported.
They number 246, Of which 81 are col
