DAS PICKNiCk.

The first annual picnic of the German
Maennerchor Singing Society is thing
Of the past, but pleasant memories of
the big ''stiftungsfest" still live. The
weather man kept his word as he had
promised in last weeks REPORTER and
he made the day perfect one, full of
sunshine and gladness. Early Sunday
forenoon people began to gather at the
picnic grounds, and from then on until
evening Four-mile Creek road was
thronged with carriages and pedestrians
going to and from the place of amuse-
ment. At two o'clock in the afternoon
members of the Maennerchor formed
IN line Of march down town and pro-
ceeded to the grove headed by the
German Band. At the other end of
march lively program was rendered,
including songs by the Singing Society,
selections by the band, sack races and
other athletic contests. 1t was very
large gathering indeed that the news
paper man looked down upon when he
had reached the top of the highest tree
to cast for bearings. Everyone was
there, senator, congressman, merchant.
artisan, mechanic, manufacturer-all
crowded around the lemonade stands,
the whirli-gig, the pop corn vender, the
rag doll man or the creased pole, so
thick that the man up the tree and the
mosquitoes on the outside couldn't find
place IN the circle Of fun for a minute.
After an inspiringso by the Maenner-
Choir, the senator undertook to get up to
the level Of the printer by the creased
pole route. However, no amount of
talk or boot strap lobbying prevailed to
reduce the bill of tax on muscles and
the senator slid down into oblivion.
John Henry Jr. did better and got up
far enough to reach the cash persimmon.
In the fat mems potato race Henry
Osterman was winner. Henry Pellersel
is big enough and worked hard enough
to entitle him to first place, but it is
understood that someone stole a big
potato from him, also the honors. The
park was so full of pretty girls that the
judges lost their hearts-that is, they
refused to declare which one was most
beautiful, for fear of results and the
race for beauty was transferred to the
male creation. The man up the tree
stood highest. Then he had to 60 home
and the remainder OF the afternoon
entertainment was missed.
In the evening Sommernachtsfest
was held with dance in the bowery.
The picnic was a big success and the
receipts Of the day amounted to $4,000.
The Maennerchor is prosperous
organization and has strong member
ship. They will attend the Saepgerfest
at Oshkosh June 26 and 81 in a body.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cGnnot reach the
diseased portion of the ear, There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by cOnstitu-

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand tWenty-four hours !;
a sediment or settling indicates an IN
healthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
Quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO 20.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulhls every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part Of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passingit or bad effects
following use of liquor, wine or beer,
and OvercOmes that unpleasant neces-
sity Of being compelled to get up many
times during the night to urinate. The
mild and extraordinary effect of Swamp
Roog is soon realized. 1t stands the
highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need a
medicine you should have the best.
Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample
bottle and pamphlet both sent free by
mail. Mention Wood County Reporter

Last Friday evening marked an epoch
IN the lives Of the class of 81, and the
sixth annual commencement of Plain
field high school, held on that evening.
was a. very successful and pleasant
affair: For several years these pupils
have been diligently engaged in study,
and the result of the evenings exer-
c1ses covered the graduates with honors
ana their orauons compare very favor
ably with any preceding class. Five
members composed the class of '97,
being Frances Sherman, Myrtle Matt
land, Arthur Stevens. Anna Lamb and
Ursula Pierce. As the hour approached
for the exercises the relatives and
friends Of the graduates began filling
the hall and long before the exercises
opened all available space in Woodman
hall was occupied. The hall was gaily
testooned with ever9reens and flowers
and presented beautiful appearance.
The oratons were all well delivered
and reflected much credit to the speak
ers. Prof. +. Dafoe delivered the
charge to the class and County Superin-
tendent G. a. TAYLOR presented the d.
pLomas. In conclusion we would say
that Plainfeld has schools the citizens
can justly feel proud Of and great credit
is due the teachers and especially Prin-
cipal Dafoe for able work in planning
and executing new methods. The school
officers also deserve praise from every
one for the able assistance given the
faculty IN raising the schools to higher
standard of excellence. We believe
we voice the sentiment of every citi-
zen when we say this and we hope to
see the good work continued each year.
