ABSOLUTELY PURE
A Brave Girl.

Saturday noon an accident occurred
in which Andrew Anderson come
pretty near losing his eighteen months
old boy by drowning. 1t appears that
he was playing on the bank of the
Wisconsin river with his brother,
little older than he, when in some
manner he fell into the river. His
brother ran home about block distant
from the river and notified Mrs.
Anderson. The hired girl, Miss Inga
Jacobson, reached the river first and
saw the boy lying at the bottom of the
river about eight feet from shore. She
bravely walked into the water nearly
up to her arm pits secured the body
and carried him home apparently cold
in death. The mother and girl worked
over the child faithfully so that when
the father and doctor reached the
house the child was out Of danger. 1t
was close call and the family are
rejoiccd over the rescue of the child.

NEIGHBORING NOTES.
Taken From Our Exchanges and con-
densed for Local Readers.

Merrillan Leader: A. S. Trow re-
ceived yesterday the sad news of the
death of Mrs. G. J. Jackson, of
Centralia, by drowning Wednesday.
She was viewing the rapids from the
railroad bridge, and either fell or threw
herself from the pier into the rushing
waters, and was instantly lost to sight.
At last advices her body has not yet
been recovered. Mrs. J. had numerous
friends here who will be deeply panied
at this sad intelligence.
Merrill News: Mrs. G. J. jackson,
of Centralia, wife of the president of
the Jackson Milling Co. of that city,
committed suicide Wednesday morning
by jumping off the bridge between
Centralia and Grand Rapids into the
Wisconsin river. Dependency over
the i'll health of her husband is believed
to have been the cause of the act. Mrs.
jackson was we'll known by many
people of this city and was noble
minded woman.
Plainfield Sun: Ed. Wheelan, of
Grand Rapids, arrived in Plainfeld
Wednesday to remain few days look
ing after his property interests here.
This office acknowledges friendly call.
Wausau Herald: Mrs. G. J. jackson,
of Centralia, wife of the president of
the Jackson Milling Co. that operates
the Kickbusch flour mill of this city,
committed suicide Wednesday by jump
ing into the river from the railroad
bridge between Centralia and Grand
Rapids. The body has not yet been
recovered. Her husband became
insane last winter and some time since
Mrs. Jackson's mind was also affected.
She was ffty-three years of age.
Wausau Central: Mrs. Jackson, wife
of Mr. g. j. Jackson, president of the
Jackson Milling Co., and who is quite
we'll known in this city, commit ed
suicide Wednesday morning, by jump
ing off the Green Bay railroad bridge
at Grand Rapids, a distance of sixty
feet, into the Wisconsin river, while in
deranged condition of mind. Of late
her husband has been patient at the
Wauwatosa Hospital for treatment for
partial softening Of the brain, which
undoubtedly unnerved her mind and
caused her tragic ending.

Gets Into Wisconsin.

The Federal Life of this city has been
licensed by Commissioner Fricke to do
business in Wisconsin. Its limited
payment policy contracts carry with
them the full legal reserve and all
other contracts issued by this associa-
ton were found by the commissioner to
have the necessary accumuIatiOns on
hand with which to meet any and all
obligations it assumes.
A recent examination by the Wiscon-
sin department through its special
examiners, H. E. Dickinson and A. F.
Timme, brings out emphaticalIy in con-
nection with their detailed report to
the Hon. VIM. A. Fricke, commissioner,
the following:
Your examiners were furnished with
every facility for making a careful and
thorough examination, and find the
books'and records of the company are
we'll and carefully kept, and the gem
eral business as conducted by the
secretary is conservatively and
economically managed. The effort of
the company has been more in the line
of securing selected risks rather than
rapid growth.
Your examiners take pleasure in
calling attention 10 the prompt manner
in which this company pays its death
losses.
In the majority of instances the
claims were paid within ten days after
the receipt Of proof of death properly
certified to and on the date of this
examination the association has no
death claims unpaid, and none resisted
We feel that the company is in a
healthy condition and being successfully
managed.
Signed: H. E. DICKINSON,
Chief clerk and
A. T. TIMME,
Examiners.

TERSELY TOLD.
(By E. r. Petherick.)

CBy E. R. Petherick.)
Desperation bears the same relation
to courage that famine does to appetite.
Courtesy is responsible for the good
opinion most of us have of ourselves.
If an impression could be poured into
the human ear to the effect that there
is something cultured and smart about
being religious, people would break
their limbs hustling for seats in church.
Be slow to promise and quick to per-
form, and this world will give you
credit for being capable of doing any
thing you may desire.
The man who argues with liar has
about as much sense as the one who
drives in the mud to paint his wagon.
Language seems to have been gwen
to most people for purposes of delay.
Do not trust people who seek your
confidence by betraying that of Others
One of the hardest things to learn is
that the world is seldom watching us
when we are doing good.
Men would not care to be wicked if
women did not look on naughIness
with mingled dread and admiration.
If you really think yourself indispen-
sable, take walk in the cemetery and
read the inscriptions on the monuments
of bigger men now almost forgotten.
Never resort to force unless you have
lots of it in reserve.
AS soon as woman ceases to care for
the admiration of man, she aspires to
become leader Of women.
People often dress to please ne
world, but it will be noticed that they
eat to satisfy themselves.
There is no use trying to benefit
humanity by walking so straight that
you never cast an inviting glance at
those who meander along the sidetrack.
The life that has no main object is
more apt to be picturesque than useful.
So long as cropping a dogs ears is
tolerated because it makes him look
cute, why shouldn't woman be allowed
to cut her hair for the same reason?
Idle questions are the cholera
microbes of industrial life.
The millen1um will be here when
women are without curiosity and men
without vanity.
When woman begins to rail about
the w1ckedness of men cautious
bachelors would do well to climb tree
Marriage is apt to become more or
less of failure in families where the
man thinks stockings can be patched
without having seam in them.

CLIMATE AND CROP SERVICE.

Willis L. Moore, Chief of Weather Bureau.
Copious rains have fallen in all
portions of the state during the past
week and there is an abundance of
moisture now in the ground for all
present needs. The rains, with few
exceptions, have been steady and
gentle, and very little has run into the
streams, the greater portion of the
moisture having been quickly absorbed
by the subsoil, which was very dry
The ground has been generally too wet
to work, except where the soil is sandy
and farming operations have been
materially retarded by the frequent
rains. The weather has been cooler
and much more in keeping with the
season than the abnormally high
temperatures of last week and under
these conditions vegetation has con-
tinued to advance rapidly, following up
the remarkable growth of last week.
All growing crops are making excellent
progress.
The season is now sufficiently ad-
vanced TO enable the farmers to make
fair estimate of the winter wheat pros
poets. The crop in this state has been
badly injured and the outlook is hardly
as encouraging as last week. Some
fields, which last week were thought to
have wintered in fairly good condition,
upon closer examination, have been
found to be very spotted and will
hardly produce the seed. The weather
has been very favorable the past two
weeks, and all wheat that escaped the
drought of last fall and the exposure of
the winter VIII now come on rapidly.
Clover is also badly injured and in
some localities is total failure. Rye
wintered well, and has made great
progress during the past two weeks,
and with favorable weather fine crop
is assured. Heavy frosts occurred in
the middle and northern sections and
light frosts in the southern on the 21st
and 22d. No damage resulted, as fruit
was not sufficiently advanced to be
liable to injury.
NORTHERN SECTION.
Seeding has progressed very slowly
on account of the frequent rains and
but little farm work has been done yet.
The heavy frosts on the 21st and 22d
did no damage, although the tempera
ture was below the freezing point for
considerable time on the morning Of
the 22d and ice formed to thickness
of a quarter of an inch. Winter wheat
has apparently improved during the
week but the prospect for anything
like good crop is not promising. Rye
looks we'll and is coming on rapidly.
Clover has been badly injured, but
other grasses are growing nicely. There
has been sufficient rainfall for the
present and plenty of sunshine is now
needed.

A Visit at BirOn.

About three miles north of this city
upon the east bank of the Wisconsin
river is located a magnificent paper
plant and water power the property of
the Grand Rapids Pulp and Paper Co.
The stockholders of this company have
reason to be proud of the investment
they made there. AS you stand upon
the north side of the mill and view the
landscape before you Of immense stone
walls, magnificent dams over which an
elegant sheet Of water flows; great mill
pond with two or three small islands
piercing through its placid waters, you
appreciate fully the grandeur of the
sight and the magnitude of the under
taking. Then as you pass through the
wood room, pulp mill, beater room,
paper mill, shipping room, boiler room,
basement, you wonder at the art of
man. That immense machinery pound
ing away at a rapid rate with such
nicely and accuracy. You watch the
wood as it passes through the varied
the mill and inspect the finished pro-
duct with wonderment. The process
of paper making is apparently simple
and yet after all quite complicated.
Never before were we present when
the paper machine was started until
upon this visit. It is very interesting
to watch the method of cOnnectino the
wet mushy pulp to different parts
of the machine while in motion. The
machine tenders understand the knack
of it and make the connections so nicely
that you are obliged to wonder at the
art and skill Nels Johnson, the
general manager, and Mr.. Wesley Guie,
the superintendent were kind enough
to show us about the mill and explained
minutely the methods used in paper
making. Mr.. Guie, is a pleasant
gentleman, thoroughly posted in the
art of paper making and loves his work.
| Mr.. Severe Biron, the assistant
manager, and one of the heavy stock
holders, is constantly at the Office and
mill looking after matters while Mr..
Johnson is absent. These gentlemen
all take pleasure in showing visitors
through the mill and none go away
without exclamations of surprise and
pleasure over the fine paper plant
erected there the past year.

Condition of Trade.

Business has been favored by season
able weather, and the distribution of
products Las made fair progress, not
yet reducing retail or wholesale stocks
far enough, however, to materially
improve the position of industries
Those stocks have apparently been
larger eyer since the fever of buying
last fall, and the actual buying Of con-
sumption smaller, than has been gener-
ally realized. Hence all the great
industries are embarrassed by lack Of
adequate demand, and in some cases
the accumulation of goods in anticipa-
ton of demand has gone about as far as
it can. Money markets have grown
more favorable, as we'll as the state of
foreign commerce, and until an appar-
emily groundless revival Of discussion
about the Venezuela difficulty there was
brighter prospect Of European invest
ments here. The belief that agitation
for cheap money will be permanently
laid at rest this year is gaining ground,
and in financial quarters causes more
confidence for the future. Strikes OF
some importance are threatened in
building and window glass trades, and
the working force is lessened by
stoppage of some factories because
orders are light. Again prices Of
commodities are on the whole lower
than ever before, having declined about
2 per cent. since April 1st and II per
cent. since July 1890, or October 1892.
The fall in manufactured products is
little less than it was April 1st, but in
farm products greater.

A CARD.

[ feel that it is only justice to myself
to say to the people of Grand Rapids
and vicinity that the mistake made by
me in administering carbolic acid to
Mrs. Geo. B. Brazeau was not wholly
due to carelessness on my part. The
bottle was not labeled "Poison" as it
should have been, consequently l do
not feel that all the blame should be
placed on me, but should be shared by
the one who put it up.
