A BATTLING GAME
 ON CHRISTMAS DAY.
RIVAL ELEVENs TO BATTLE FOR
 SUPREMACY.
Company H, L. c. C., and the Golden Gates to Play at the Presidio Athletic Grounds, Rain
 or Shine.

On Christmas day two League of the Cross Cadet teams will line up in foot ball game, which promises to be second only in importance and interest to the college game on Thanksgiving. The game will be played at the Presidio Athletic Grounds, and is scheduled to begin at ? o'clock p. m.
 The interest taken in this last game of the series exceeds that of 1897. The members and friends of the organization will attend in large numbers. Company cries and articles of every description that will make a noise are being prepared for this suspicious day.
 Company IFS team has a splendid rec ord of victories gained during '97 and the present season. Its fine showing against the big Stanford team shortly before Thanksgiving proved that its members are clever opponents of the game.
 Coach Cross of the cardinal team com plimented the showing made by the league representatives.
 The Golden Gates, which at one time played under the auspices of Company C., has also strong collection of players, and it's team work is admirable. Great rivalry exists between the teams, and the contest will be a stirring one. Both elev- ems are practicing daily with view to carrying off a victory.
 The League of the Cross band will grace the occasion and discourse music during the game.
 The Iine-rIu will be as follows:

keeping up their reputation this month.
On Thursday and Friday they killed
nine antlered beauties. Their total
score to date is fifteen deer. The Snyder
brothers have kept our markets sup
piled with venison since the first day of
the open season and many of our peo-
Pile have been enabled to purchase a
Zine steak" Or luscious roast" because
of their certain shooting. While the
boys are. doubtless, without superiors
in successful achievements on the deer
trail we wonder if they are mindful of
the game law, section q, chapter 1SS,
1897, which reads as follows:
It shall be unlawful and is prohibited
for any person to kill more than two
deer, except that any resident or settler
shall have the right to kill at any time
during the open season any deer which
is to be consu med by bis own family or
neighbors and not for the purpose of
sale or traffic.
The intention of the above law is
clearly marked. 1t was passed to pre-
vent wholesale slaughter of these
handsome denizens of the forest as
purely money making occupation; to
preserve 4m determination or undue
depletion, wild game adapted to con
sumption as food or to other useful
purposes. The true sportsman will
observe the letter of the law with con-
scientious closeness.- We trust our
friends above mentioned are true
sportsmen.

Mr.. AND MRS. ALBERT N. PALMER

Return Wednesday Noon from a Short We'd
ding Trip and Are Warmly Welcomed.
The marriage Of Albert n. Palmer
of Centralia to Miss Ida Mae Wood
worth in Stevens Point, briefly men
toned in the REPORTER last week,
was noticed by the Stevens Point
Journal as follows:
A pretty wedding took place at the
residence of Ell. n Woodwork at
O'Clock Wednesday evening in which
a great many people in this city and
CenIralia were interested. Miss Ida
Mae Woodwork, the only daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. III. n. Woodwork was
married to Albert n. Palmer of Cen
tralia, by Rev. Mr.. Wheeler of the
Grand Rapids Congregational church.
The attendants were Miss Eva Gar
diner of this city and 0. W. HelmOld
of Fond du Lac.
The bride wore a dress of white
Organdie over white satin and carried
brides roses. Her maid wore pink
crepe.
The rooms were prettily trimmed
in flowers and smilaX, After the
wedding the guests sat down to very
fiue supper. Some twenty were seated
at the brides table which was
trimmed in white. The other tables
were decorated in yellow. Only few
of the immediate friends and relatives
of the young couple were present.
A good many handsome remem-
ORANGES were sent in by friends with
in the past few days and great many
others from the Centralia friends
await them at their new home in that
city. Miss Woodwork has lived in
Stevens Point for the past fourteen
years and has been one of the favOrite
members of Stevens Point society.
Her large circle of friends here will
regret that her wOOing has resulted in
her removal from their number.
Those from out of town who at
| tended were Misses Laura Houston,
Minnie Helmold, Rena Houston, Mary
Jeffry, Fannie Palmer and Messrs,
Dan McKercher, Chas Dixon, and
Gus. Otto of Centralia, Miss Mary
Ghoca at Waupaca and O. W. Hell
mold of Fond du Lac. Mr.. Palmer'S
| father also attended.
The couple took the Thursday
morning Green Bay passenger train
for a visit of a few days in Winona
and Lacrosse, returned to Stevens
Point for Su nd ~ arrived at their new
residence in Centralia Wednesday
noon. They will be at home after
January !.
Mr.. Palmer is one of the worthy,
respected and progressive young men
in Centralia. He is bookkeeper for
the Jackson Milling company, has a
seat in the council as alderman from
the first ward and is one of the earn
est workers with the best interests
of his home municipality at heart.
We are pleased to know that this
prominent young gentleman has
chosen so wisely, bride which the
Stevens Point Gazette compliments
as one of the best and prettiest yOnng
ladies of that city, admired by all,
with hosts Of friends that regret that
her home will be elsewhere than Stew
ems Point. The REPORTER joins in
sincere congratulatiOns to the fair
bride and her excellent husband.

LAND AND MILLING INTERESTS CLOSED
Messrs Clark and Scott Who Have Operated
in Rudolph, to Return to Dubuque.

Messrs Clark and Scott Who Have Operated
in Rudolph, to Return to Dubuque.
On Friday, November Is, the firm of
Clark & Scott will close out at auction
all the remaining personal property
owned by them in the operation of
their once large lumber interests in the
town of Rudolph, this county. This
firm consists of two men, Messrs. E, c.
Clark and j. P. Scott, who came to
Wood county from Dubuque, Iowa. in
the fall of 1866, and first purchased a
two-thirds interest with Henry Reed
who was then operating a saw mill in
Rudolph. The following year they pur-
chased Mr.. Reeds interests and have
done an immense business ever since
under the firm name of Clark & Scott.
Prior to the construction of the Wiscon-
sin Valley railroad in 1874, (now part
Of the C. NJ. and st. Paul system) they
manufactured nothing but pine lumber
and shingles and hauled their products
to the Wisconsin river by team where
it was RATED in and run down the river
to Dubuque where they operated a
lumber yard and sash and door factory.
After the Valley railroad was con-
structed thew had a spur track put in
from the station at Rudolph to their
mill, a distance of three miles, since
which time their entire product has
been shipped by rail. With railroad
facilities they added the stave and
heading business to use up their hard
wood timber.
During the thirty years they were in
business in this county, they built up
quite village about their manufacture
ing plant and employed many hands.
They cut over 2O0,0O0,0O0 of pine and
hardwood into lumber and shingles and
manufactured some 40 to so million of
oak and Eastwood into barrel stock; also
furnished the C. M. & ST. Paul Railroad
company large amount of oak piling
and ties beside. While operating here
they cleared up and run one of the
finest farms in the county, and have
been successful in disposing of most of
their stump lands to thrifty settlement
of Hollanders, who are doing we'll and
prospecting.
This firm is entitled to great credit
for the excellent manner in which they
have handled their large business in
terests, and to their credit be it said,
that in the thirty.two years they have
been in business here, they were never
principals or defendants in a law suit
growing out of their operations.
They leave Wood county with the
best wishes of all their former en-
ployees, the respect and highest regard
of all business men, and general wish
on the part of all that they should
remain in Wood county the balance of
their days where they have formed
many warm friendships. Messrs. E. G.
Clark and j. P. Scott. personally are
both genial spirits with whom it is
a pleasure to meet socially and in bus
mess. Their departure from Wood
county and the twin cities, where they
are we'll and favorablv known, is greatly
regretted.

Among the few women in Wood
county who have become interested in
hunting none are more ardent in the
sport or have met with greater success
than Mrs. c. H. Finley of Pittsville
Last Friday Mrs. Finley killed deer
weighing nearly two hundred pounds.
This is the second deer she has killed
since the open season, or in period OF
such record and it is needless to say
that the Pittsvi!le lady is entitled to
even greater credit than could be given
male marksman for equal proves
with a gun.
