Rudolph Entertainment.

The usual staid and sober demeanor
of things in and about the little burg
called Rudolph were pleasantly ruffled
last Saturday evening, Oct. %, by a
large social gathering and merry-mak-
ing bee at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. c..
o. Hassell. The event was in the
nature of surprise party on the good
people mentioned and large number
Of friends took advantage of this oppor-
tunity to pay their respects. Agent C..
J. 0. Roosen of the st. Paul Ry. is
blamed for it all, because his activity in
getting up the party and managing the
surprise made him large shareholder
in the responsibility for the good time
which everyone reported 10 have had
at the soiree. Mr.. and Mrs. c. O. Has
sell are highly liked residents in the
town Of Rudolph and the company
which greeted them was in numbers
proportionate to the popularity Of the
hosts. Cards and games were the order
Of amusement, not forgetting an inter-
val devoted to delicious refreshments.
The guests present were:
Messrs. and Mesdames Joe Murrey,
Geo. Elliott, Nose Sharkey, Alfred
Akey, Oliver Akey, John Omholt, Ben
Benson, Geo. Bates, John Jacobson,
Peter Keyzer. Mrs. E. Christensen,
Mrs. J. Dupre, Mrs. A. Winger.
Among the young people were:
Misses Maud Sharkey, Mary, Rosa,
Beatrice and Carrie Ratelle, Mary St.
Dennis, Nettie Keyzers, Katie DAVIS,
Ida Gustoferson. Messrs. G. J. O.
Roosen, Tony HeDkins, John Rayomc,
John Benson, Herman and Henry
Gothic, Ed. Sharkey, Tony and John
Keyzers, Carl Omholt, Gilbert Johnson,
Charles Hasseil, Ben Grau, c. Gotchie.

The Witter House.

Now that the Witter House property
on Main street has changed hands,
every detail in the transfer is completed
and Daily and Steib are the lucky prize
holders, it may not be amiss to add a
word or two apropos at the present
writing.
These buildings are living monuments
Of the enterprise and public spirit OF
him who erected them, at a time when
the city and the travelling public were
the parties most largely benefited. Soon
after the Rablin House burned down,
nearly twenty years ago, and there was
no suitable home for the transient to be
found in Grand Rapids, we are told that
DR.. q. +. Witter came to the front, bOr-
rowed money and erected the Witter
House. The city was in sore need of a
good hotel building, he provided sub
stantial house. Its large and commod-
ious rooms, with electric bells, electric
lights and unsurpassed water supply OF
pure spring water brought by conduits
from the bluffs at outskirts Of the city
contributed to make it first class place
in point of health and convenience.
By the indomitable energy of its pro-
prietor, L. Hathaway, its reputation as
popular hostelry has been admirably
maintained for many years. Without
amplifying upon its sewage facilities at
all it is enough to say that no filth, no
unsanitary conditions, poor i'eds or any
thing of the kind has ever had place
under the Witter House roof or within
its walls. We understand that the house
is to undergo several grand changes and
that another large building is soon to be
added, with new system Of heating
and ventilation put in throughout to
keep pace with the demands and pro-
vide latest conveniences for its increas-
ing business. The travelling public may
rest assured that those two hustlers,
DAILY and Steib, will not allow anything
to keep them from making this hotel
what it should be-the best in this sec
ton of the state.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder trou-
bles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was CT eated for one purpose, and if not
doctored too much is not liable to weak
ness or disease, except in rare cases.
1t is situated back Of and very close to
the bladder, therefore any pain, disease
or Inconvenience manifested in the
kidneys, back, bladder or urinary pas
sage is often, by mistake, attributed to
female weakness or womb trouble of
some sort The error is easily made
and may be easily avoided. To find out
correctly, set your urine aside for tWen-
ty-four hours; sediment of settling in
dicates kidney or bladder trouble. The
mile and the extraordinary effect of DR..
kilmer's Swamp-ROot, the great kidney
ard bladder remedy is soon realized.
If you need Il medicine you should have
the best At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may nave sample
bottle and pamphlet both sent free by
mail. Mention Wood County Reporter
and send your address to DR.. Kilmer x
Co., BinghamtOn, \. \. The proprie-
tor of this paper guarantees the genu-
ineEess of this offer. Apr.15y1

Conditions of Trade.

After the heaviest buying ever known
in many branches during September
and the first half of October, it was both
natural and desirable that more quiet
period should give time for testing the
size and temper Of retail trade and for
distributing part Of the enormous guam
titles bought. In textile goods, the
rush of orders went far beyond all dis
tributive demand in August, aud repre-
sented great replenishment Of stocks,
and the similar rush for goods has been
correspondinglv great in other lines
during the past two months. In iron
and steel and in boots ard shoes there
was actual danger Of speculative infa-
ton Of prices such as was seen in 1895,
but it has been avoided, apparently for
this season, by the solid sense of lead
ing men who regard time Of compara-
tive quiet as essential TO the coming
and permanence Of prosperity in their
lines. AS the buying for replenishment
is partly satisfied and diminishes, there
is some decrease IN the volume of
transactions, though at the same time
the working force has farther increased, !,
the wages of labor have been in numer-
Gus cases advanced, especially in all
woolen mills of Olneyville, r. I. where
the rates of 1893 have been restored, =,
and the foundation is laid more broadly
every week for larger buying and bust
ness hereafter.

Potato Crop.

Not since 1892 has the potato crop of
the United States proved SO nearly d
failure, says the American Agriculturist,
in its final report of the yield of 1897.
Compared with the liberal crop of last
year, there is an apparent falling off of
nearly 80 per cent. iii tonnage, and the
quality of the whole is greatly deficient,
County and township returns from all
the leading potato-growing states to this
weekly newspaper shows the yield of
potatoes to be 174,00O,0O0 bushels,
against 245 ,0OO,O 900 in 1896, 2S6,O0O, 900 in
1895, 1s5, 200, 900 in 1894, and only 1861
900 in the short crop of 1892. The
average rate of yield per acre is placed
at 64 bushels, taking the country at
large, against S6 bushels III 1896, SO in
1895, and 62 in 1892.

Business Outlook as Reported by
Schwartz, Dupee 6 Co.
CHICAGO. Ill, Oct. 26.

SIA1N-NSOs iA@li'j wv ~
'The general monetary and CONNER
cial situation is, with few unimportant
exceptions, better at the present time
than it has been since the panic of
1S93," said member of the firm of
Schwartz, Dupee 4 Co.
at is true that for the moment there
is not the boom in stocks and other
securities that obtained few weeks
ago, but after such an unprecedentedly
large rise in so short time it was inev-
liable that there should be a reaction.
This has come and gone, stocks have
recovered good portion of their loss
and are now unquestionanly in better
hands than ever before. For the last
week the assaults Of the bears, aided as
they were by disquleting rumors con-
corning our relations with Spain, have
had but little effect, and that of tenn
porary character only. The English
commercial and financial situation is
such that money is coming, in one form
or another, from that country to this in
large amounts.
'Of course the very strong position
of our wheat crop in relation to the
worlds demands for that cereal has
bad mnch to do in producing this de-
sirable result, and present prospects are
that until another good crop is assured
here and elsewhere there can be no
material recession in price, while many
things can occur to cause a decided en-
hancement of values. The admittedly
decreased acreage Of winter wheat is
one Of these, and possible damage to
whatever crop is in the ground is an
other. Wheat has been unusually act
i've at much higher range for the last
three days, and while present prices
may look high to some there is q con-
tingent of the shrewdest traders who
confidently expect wheat to sell well
above dollar before spring.
Corn is in a relatively stronger posi-
ton than it was week ago. The tre-
mendous liquidation, while it forced the
price down, was still a tonic for this
market; and present prices seem low
to many. AS to provisions, it can only
be said that when the yellow fever
germs are killed by the frosts there
must be a much better market in the
south, with advancing prices"

"The ten additional books which Mr..
| Witter is to put into each library will all
be for children. l found too that the
older people II the German districts
were most anxious for some Of the mag
azines they used to see in the father
land. There didn't seem to be any way
of reaching that need up there, but one
of the Milwaukee German dailies has
| taken up the matter now and it won't
be long before there will be a quantity
of such periodicals as Garten Laube,
Illustrirte Zeitung, Uber Land und
Meer and the Deutscher Jugend circu-
lating about in Wood county, so prompt
ly have the Milwaukee Germans re-
sponded to the appeal.
"But all the libraries are not located
in farmhouses. At Arpin' there is one
in the store of the Arpin Lumber COM
pany, and it is patrouized mostly by the
loggers and sawyers Whereabouts. AT
Nekoosa, where there is a big paper
mill, the collection of forty volumes was
found to be entirely inadequate and the
number was first doubled and then
trebled, and now popular subscription
is being taken up to open reading
room. That's good argument for what
the travelling library may accomplish
for community. At Port Edwards the
library is kept over the pigeon holes of
the postoffice in the single store Of the
place, SO that everyone who comes for
mail will be reminded that he may have
a book whether he gets a letter or not.
At Blenker the case stands open upon
the counter of the general store"

The San Francisco call., 1897-12-24

The boy says that all day long his
father was cross and nervous and
abused them without any apparent
reason. About dusk they left the park
and went to the Chutes They re-
mained there all the evening watching
the fireworks and then started for
home. They caught the last boat
across the bay and as soon as they
reached the house they were sent to
bed. Eddie said he feared his fathers
wrath too much to ask for his mother
He said that during the day when he
or any of his sisters asked for her they
would receive some cross word from
their father of perhaps a cuff on the
ears. Eddie was in bed but a short
time when he said he heard his father
going down the stairs of his home. He
could hear every tread of his heavily
shod feet as they went down the steps
and out the back way of the house
Then he heard the stable door in the
rear opened. The heavy latch on the
door rasped as it unfastened and the
hinges creaked as the door was swung
open. Then all was still. For awhile
the boy listened for the next move of
his father; then he dropped off into
sleep.
1t was near daylight when he awoke,
and a heavy tread coming up the
stairs was the first sound he caught
1t was his father returning. Soon the
door of his room opened and his father
entered. He started when he saw his
son awake and he backed out, saying
in a husky voice as he went, Your
mother has gone; your mother has
gone"
After the mothers disappearance
Eddie says he was told by his father
to say in answer to all inquiries about
his mother that she had gone to nurse
