A "PIay Tea,

the title OF any play that people chose to
represent. and then the fun began. Every
one rushed at everyone else and eagerly
scanned the legion pinned on most of the
dresses in the room. for, beside a prize Of

was also one for the largest number of cor

A bad Habit.

Some people have a bad habit of making
potes on the back of visiting cards and
then putting them in their pocketbooks or
cardeases. says Washington paper. At a
recent reception in Washington among the
cards there were left upon the tray in
the hostesss hall two bore interesting and
important memoranda. The names upon
the other side were we'll known to the
lady One OF them is that of a gentle
man who stands for craftsmanship. pa
triotism, oratory and almost everything
that is good and great. He is a happy
husband and devoted father. and his in
terest in his own domestic affairs was
demonstrated on the back OF the card by
this shopping list:
Nursing bottle for baby" two bots.
beef. iron and wine" toothbrush. tooth
powder. digestive tablets soap"
The other card was that OF congress-
mans wife, and il bore the following note.
The last cook you sent us got drunk
and insolent. Send a white woman if you
can get good one; if not. the best col
ored woman you have on your list. This
Is the last time / shall patroniZe you"
Evidently this card should have gone TO
some intelligence office instead of being
left on the tray at the residence of the
troversy that evening between the latter
and his wife as 10 whether she ought TO
send these cards as to persons most in
terested. He thought il was her duty TO
do so. She said that il would only mortify
them.

Ray L. Dillman wins First Prize ss the
Inter-stass Ornterieal Contest.
A phone message from Redfield
Tuesday morning informed the
college authorities and oratcrical as-
sociation that their representative
had won first place In the Interstate
oratorlcal contest. Inasmuch ais Mr..
Dillman had been given second place
at the state contest ut Mitchell on
May 18th, IL was hardly expected that
he would do more than that iii the
contest between the two states, North

great demonstrations OF enthusiasm
by his fellow students and they can
well be sustained In what followed in
the joy Of sharing the victory achieved
by Mr.. Dillman under such adverse

Through the principal streets of the
city amid a perfect storm of college
yells and cheers by the citizens. Ar
irving at the college the hero Of the
occasion was given another oya1so6.
Mayor Mathews made d short c0n-
gratulatory speech, followed BY Presi-
dent Heston. Mr. Dlllman was then
called on 20 again deliver the oratlUn
that had made him ssssss chaniplau of

OF applause and tremenduous amount

WRESTLING MATCH.
A Hot Struggle for Supremacy Wins
in the Fonrth Round,

Wednesday evening the following
party of Grand Rapids people went to
Marshtield to witness the wrestling
match between Beels of that city and
Adamson of indianapolis: B. r.
Goggins, Ed. Hayes, Ed. Lynch, Ray
Sherwood, d. D. and w. J. Conway,
al. Suitor. Frank A Rapp, Walter
Dixon, VIII Carey, Chas. Podawiltz,
Chas. Whittlesy and Ted. Johnson.
Geo. Curtis of Eau Claire was chOS-
en- referee and Frank WEIGH and John
Thomas, timekeeperS. Time was
called at $40 O'Clock, and for two
hours the large audience present wit
messed very pretty contest and a
great struggle, the men being fairly
evenly matched. The first round
Adamson won in Is minutes and 40
seconds; the second fall went to Beel
IN 10 minutes and 30 seconds, also the
third and fourth falls in 20 minutes
and so seconds and p minntes and 43
seconds respectively. There was a
s400 house present and $3.50 in side
bet, the greater portion Of the money
going to the winner. Beel's unbrOken
series of victories should make him
ambitious to meet Jack Carkeek who
has some notariety as neck-twister
and back-breaker.

man, fusion candidate for governor of
North Dakota, has the following
account of a aon-partiSan reception
rendered their distinguished citizen,
which shows that personal popularity
is characteristic of the Wipperman
family, at least that would accurately
describe Herman Wipperman's social
standing in this community.
"a grand reception was rendered to
the Hon. NJ. A. Wipperman of Han
kinSOn, the fusion nominee for
governor, in the court house at
Wahpeton last Saturday evening.
The Maroon band furnished the music
and the grounds were tastefully deco
rated with Chinese lanterns. Ad-
dresses were made by Gustave Schuler.

EXPOSED TO ANOTHER RAJ LR0AD.
The Northwestern Assumes More Threaten
inq Attitude Towards Grand Rapids.

We are seriously threatened with
the coming Of another railroad. This
need not alarm any citizen, because
the road can only do us good, but
people always feel SkittiSh when they
see things pointed in their direction
and nothing is SAID to indicate the
pointer'S%z intentions. That is our
predlcament. The Northwestern road
is pointing at us and we are suspicious
that they intend to come here. The
survey from Princeton to WautOma
has been completed and approved by
the Northwestern officials, and that
much may be regarded as certainty,
but from that point on matters are
not SO certain. Several lines have
been surveyed and tho surveying
party, consisting Of II men, are now
operating about nine miles southeast
of Grand Rapids and four miles east
Of Nekoosa. Nessrs. L. P Yates,
J. E. Blunt and J. L. Pennitill, repre-
senting this railroad company, have
been registered at the Witter House
since Sunday. These gentlemen are
examining the river between here and
Nekoosa to discover the most con-
venieut point for bridging the Wis
coISln river, and it is said that If the
Northwestern people can buy the NJ
s. S. E. road for what they regard its
worth, this will be done and crossing
effected near NekOOsa, otherwise that
the crossing will be made near Grand
Rapids and the NJ. & S. Z. track will
be paralleled by the Northwestern
people to Marshfield. 1t makes no
difference which of these alternatives
is resorted to, it looks as if Grand
Rapids would get another railroad out
of the deal. Something more definite
will undoubtedl devel)py in this
matter within a week or two.

The PICNIC TUESDAY.
Great Day Of Enjoyment for The Children and
Older PeocIe As Well.

Great preparations had been made
Tor the Congregational Sunday school
picnic that took place Tuesday and as
the day was an ideal one for such an
outing everything passed off as
smoothly and pleasantly as the most
interested could desire
Grounds had been cleared and pre-
pared on the first island above the
Centralia Pulp s. Water Power Cos
dam. This island contains trifie
over p acres Of ground and is at least
Is feet above the water. The surface
is level with plenty Of trees for shade,
while a sandy beach surrounding it
affords excellent opportunity for bath
ing. Across the channel on the east
bank Of the river are some fine springs
Of cool, soft water which afford an
abundant supply, no matter how large
the crowd. The island and it's sur
roundings makes capital camping
and picnic grounds, and an attempt
will be made to secure it so the people
OF this city may have nearby nice,
clean, respectable place to camp or
hold picnics or other outings.
About 300 people attended the pic
mic, which started from the city about
10 a. III. Many Of the young people in
charge Of competent boatmen made
the trip to the island from the Esther
Lyons homestead by water, while the
more timid and older people went by
carriage to South Centralia and were
ferricd to the island from that point.
1t was pleasing sight to see the
large tlotiila of boats loaded with a
happy crowd of children, as they
pushed off down the river from the
Lyons homestead. The day was spent
in boating, bathing, singing and in
having general jolly good time out
doors. There was picnic dinner and
also supper. many of the business
men going down for supper. One of
the interesting sights was Ed.
ketchum, the ice man, out with 81
little girls in q row boat While Geo.
Hill went him one better by perform
ing the trick with 80 small boys.
All in all it was day long to be
remembered by the many who
attended.

Big Raft.

Many old-time log men in this
country know good deal about the
size Of RATS. The Pioneer Press of
July 26th has the following description
of the largest raft ever fiOated on the
Mississippi river:-The steamer John
II. Douglass passed down the river the
largest raft ever tioated on the Mis-
sissippi. 1t was made up at Saltwater
by Knapp, Stout & Co., and is on its
way to ST. Louis in charge Of Capt.
Winans. The raft is 256 feet wide
and 76S feet long. 1t contains 6, 900, 600
feet of lumber, and has on its decks
sixty car loads of shingles and lath.
1t draws two and half feet of water,
as much as a goodsized steamboat.
The raft is consigned to lumber dealers
in st. Louis.
