MR.. GAGE on CURRENCY REFORM.

The first toast Of the evening was THE Presi-
dent OF the United States" and the men in the
hall rose and cheered before drinking to the
toast There was another prolonged cheer when
Mr. Orr introduced the Secretary OF the Treas

the principal speaker of the evening. and his
speech created much applause 1t was In full

Bodette and the Bear. =

E. T. Bodette, is a popular shoe
maker in this city, and his shop is
headquarters for large number of
Firemen, city officials, and citizens, who
congregate there evenings and discuss
politics, religion, public improvements
and social matters, until his place has
become known as ''Taminy Head
quarters" In this respect Bodette has
become quite character. He enjoyed
an uncommon experience last Sunday
night. About eight o'clock while
reading in his comfortable home
in the second ward be heard a noise at
the side door and looked up to see a
black bear peering through the glass
door. Its unnecessary to say he was
Immediately badly frightened. Any
one similarly situated would be.
Bodette had no kind of fire arms
about him, so he arose put on his hat
and coat and proceeded out through
the back door and down town for help.
AS he passed out the front gate he
looked back and saw the bear following
him. Mr.. Bodette started on a dead
run for down town and his hair arose so
high 1t lifted his hat off his head but he
never stopped until he found John
Arpin, who asked him if he had seen
anything of his pet bear as he had
broken loose and got away. Bear! I
should say 1 had seen him, he is after
me now. When Mr.. Bodette could get
his breath he explained his experience
as above stated. If you want to see
Mr.. Bodette's hair come up, just say
bear to him. Reader, when you see
Mr.. Bodette ask him to tell you his
bear experience. Its rich when you
get it IN complete detail.

Woman's Charity Hospital, Chicago

Miss Beulah Demarais in recent
letter home, spoke of the hospital and
its surroundings as follows:
"The place is called the Woman's S
Charity Hospital and is under Dr.
Lucy Waite's especial care and super
vision. She does all our operating and
looks after the genera! care of all the
patients. DR.. Heisz, our superintendent
and matron, looks after the especial
care of each patient and assists at
operations We have fiat of twenty
one rooms, seven of which are occu-
pied by patients, eleven for family use,
one for the operating room and the
remainder unfurnished. The Rush
College is about three or four rods from
here, the Dental College nearer than
that and the Cook County Hospital, one
of the largest in the world, is directly
opposite US. That hospital has from
one-thousand to tWo-thousand patients
all the time. There are over two
hundred nurses there now. I think
our hospital will steadily increase both
in size and reputation until it will be
the pride of Chicago"

Arbor Day, April 80.

Gov. Scofeld has issued the following
proclamation, setting apart Friday
April 30th, as Arbor Day:
"An act of the legislature of 1885
authorized the governor to set apart
one day in each year to be known as
Arbor Day. By an amendment to this
act the legislature of 1897 has author
lied the governor to designate one day
in each year to be known as Arbor and
Bird Day.
'In conformity with law, therefore
l, Edward Scofeld, governor of the
state of Wisconsin, do hereby desig-
nate and set apart Friday, April 80.

ommend that all public schools, col
leges and other educational institutions
of the state, and citizens generally, do
observe the same in a proper manner.
81 recommend that the day be de-
voted to the planting Of trees, shrubs,
and flowers in school grounds and
public parks, to the end that these
public grounds may be permanently
beautifed; and l also recommend that
in all school and in other public ex-
ercises held upon that day special at
tention be paid to our native birds, III
order that the children of the state
may learn to find pleasure in a
knowledge of the various song birds,
and that there may be cultivated a
higher regard for bird life

}. A. Gaynor Elected County Judge

The contest for county Judge of Wood
county was carried on between Emil c..
Pors,, the present incumbent from
Marshtield and ]. A. Gaynor of Grand
Rapids in a friendly way which leaves
no sore spots in the result. They were
both Democrats and therefore no party
politics entered into the contest. The
renewed efforts on the part of Marsh
field for a new county entered into the
contest and settled the matter quickly
When 1t comes to dividing Wood
county for the purpose of creating a
new one, the people who pay the taxes
and shoulder tue burdens are not slow
IN speaking out in meeting. Mr.. Pors
has many friends in the twin cities, but
when 1t comes to a division Of the
county friendship ceases in political
way. The following is the vote by
towns us accurately as we were able to
obtain them before press hour which
will not vary much by the official vote:

High School Notes.

Only nine weeks more, and another
year of school will close. Nearly all
will have just reasons for feeling proud
of their years work. We should all
strive to make our school work what it
should be, so that when we have passed
into middle or old age we may look
back with pride on those happy, but
industrious years spent at school.
There has been some rearrangemcnts
in classes in Mrs. Voss' room since va
cation, many of the little ones having
been promoted to higher classes.
Several of the pupils attended the
teachers examination IL Centralia last
week.
The senior class, having finished the
study of Rhetoric, are now studying

Wood County Still Intact.

Every time the legislature convenes
the real estate men and politicians from
the city of Marshfeld 60 down
there and burdened them with county
scheme with Marshfeld as the county
seat of the new territory. Every at
tempt is based upon different boundary
lines with only one object-that is a
new county. Each time they have met
defeat and will continue to do so, until
the time is ripe for change of the
county lines in northern Wisconsin.
When the proper time comes to make a
change of these county lines the
people of the south half of Wood
county will be willing to consent to a
change if we can obtain suitable terri
tory on the east for that which we lose on
the north. Until then the Marshfeld
people can never obtain new county
unless it be upon mutual agreement
of the counties interested. Why? Be-
cause it would work great injustice
upon the people of the counties in
terested by taxation. without being
prepared for 1t. Our Marshfeld
friends (?) made good fight, but they
were crowding in vain against the
pricks. Wood county is proud Of her
representative, the Hon. Herman
Wipperman, who stands for and by the
people against all schemes to their
detriment. AS far as Wood county was
concerned he taught the whole delega-
ton from Marshfeld headed by ex-
Governor Upham and defeated them in
the fight. Wipperman has been with
the people upon every question which
has come up for disposal before the
legislature this winter.

Base Ball Club.

The promoters of base ball in the
Twin Cities held meeting at the office
of w. II. Gets. Centralia, Monday
evening, at which time plans were
drawn for the organization of strong
club to be placed in the field this
season. The meeting was we'll attended
and a number expressed their willing
ness to aid in securing sufficient capital
TO make the game an interesting,
thorough success here this summer. It
is intended to hire a few frst-cIass
players for positions where local lights
are weak, and with a careful selection
from the best amateur talent at home
to form a combination that can meet
successfully the leading amateur teams
in the state. Good ball and fast ball is
what the enthusiasts are after. The
experiment with salaried men has
never been tried here, but there are
many who think there is base ball
spirit enough in the towns to support
the venture.
Before the meeting closed, a donation
of $25 and another Of S15 was pledged
as nucleus about which it is hoped to
secure a 500 fund to start the ball
rolling right. A committee of five was
elected to solicit subscriptions among
the citizens of Grand Rapids and Cen
tralia. The committee includes Messrs.
Will Gross, John Lindahl, Mike Dolan.
A. W. Rumsey and O.. Nash. They
were out in Centralia a short time
Wednesday forenoon and secured near
500. 1t looks as if they would find no
difficulty in getting the amount desired.
If the contemplated team can be
organized, our cities will see the best
article of ball they have ever known.
Now is the time for all ''fans" to step to
the front with whatever assistance they
can afford.

Death of Hrs. John Cllrystal.
of words could satisfy the heart
Thy heart might find less care;
But words, like summer clouds, depart
And leave but empty air"

The many friends of John Chrystal's
family IN the town of Saratoga were
very much surprised to hear of the
death of Mrs. Chrystal which occurred
Monday, March 29th. She was hard
working christian woman beloved bv
her family and neighbors. Herself and
husband are pioneers in that town
where he has been town treasurer for
years. They were both highly re-
spected and we'll thought of by every
one.
Mrs. Elizabeth Chrystal was born
near Edinburgh, Scotland, on the 2Sth
of October, 1929. When twenty-three
years old she went to England and re-
sided there four years. During that
time she was married to Andrew Mari,
and few years thereafter was called
to mourn his death. In 1856, with her
brother Thomas Law, she came to the
United States and settled in Saratoga
Wis. On the 18th of October, 1859, she
was married to John Chrystal who sur
wives her. She also leaves three
children, Andrew Mari, by the first
marriage, and Mrs. Frank Howe. who
resides in this city and Thomas
Chrystal who resides with his father in
the town of Saratoga.
The funeral services were held in the
NJ. E. Church in this city, Rev. J. R.
Reynolds officiating A large number
of her friends and relatives were
present to pay their respects and
follow her remains to their last resting
place

quarter of 1897 number 1892 against
4,03l last year, with liabilities of S4S,-

The manufacturing failures are slightly
fewer in number and smaller in liabili-
ties than last year, but the trading
failures fall little behind those of the
corresponding quarter last year in
number and very largely in magnitude.
The average of liabilities for all manu-
featuring returns is only $2S,SOO, while
the average of all trading concerns is
only $3.50 against $lO,0SO last year, a
decrease which indicates caution in
buying and debt creating
