The Wisconsin Valley Advance
ment Association has invited the
Wisconsin Press Association to
spend It's summer outing in the
Wisconsin Valley, and the inyita-
tation will likely be accepted. The
Tomahawk in speaking of the con,
templated visit of the editors says:
lis understood one of the main
difficulties in the way of an assured
success in such an undertaking has
been removed at the start. The
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
Railway Company has agreed to
see that the editors get here all
right = and it is presumed this
means getting them out again after
the fun is over. The Lord knows
we don't want six hundred editors
for keeps" here in the valley.

avenue, Deering Center, yesterday fore

the trees and on investigation discovered
the bat which he very soon captured. The
bat is Of peculiar color and is said to be
of a very rare class. The bat is quite a
savage looking creature, cracking it's
teeth at intervals with a vengeance, and
emitting a sound that resemble very
closely that of escaping steam. The face
Of the bat resembles that of bull dog
and the animals body is covered with a
soft fur of various shades Of brown. The
bat has five complete sets of claws This
curious creature measured nine inches
from tip to tip. 1t is the intention of
Mr.. W1lIett to present this specimen Of
the Pine Tree bat to the Natural History

THE GEM.
"Tco Much Johnson y has caught the
public by virtue Of its Interpretation.
The Gem theatre was packed to the doors
last night by an audience that howled
with delight at William Gillette's clever
farce. The company is stronger than
ever and with the added strength OF the
material on hand, presented an enter
tainment exceIl1ng all previous produo-
lions. The exquisite scenery and
mechanical effects of the steamer leaving
the wharf and the workings around the
plantations with its darkies and their
funny songs adds a realism that is at
once natural and artistic. Willis Gran
gers nonchalant ease when he Is in the
hottest bed of entanglements, stands
out in such humorous contrast to the
hustle around him as to provoke an out
burst Of good solid and spontaneous
laughter. IN fact this production and its
meritorious performance together with
the reputation of 'Too Much Johnson, ="
points toward a success that bids fair to
centre the Theatrical interest in William
Giflette's bowling farce.

Patrick Murphy Laid Out by a Blow
From b ehfnd.

On Sunday night Patrick Murphy
who lives on Center street was picked up
in an alley way off that street unconscious
and with a bad wound IN the back of his
head. He said that he was going up
Center street to take a Westbrook car and
stepped into an alley way for a moment.
Suddenly he was cracked over the head
by some one behind him and that is all
he knew about it. The police have been
Investigating the case and have obtained
nothing to clear the mystery. The doc
tor who was called had to take many
stitches IN the mans head. An artery
had been severed and the man came very
near bleeding to death before he was
found and medical assistance could be
summoned. The people near where the
assault occurred think the man was taken
for someone else against whom somebody
had a grudge. Murphy is at home and
was doing we'll at last accounts.
