Sergeant G. S. Whitman, son of
Mrs. A. NJ. Whitman of this city,
came up from Grand Rapids to see
his mother Monday. Mr.. Whitman
was bright young soldier in the 34th
Z. S. volunteer infantry which did
valiant service IN the Philippines,
and was mustered out last spring.
He has been promised good position
in the 18th q. S. cavalry which is at
present stationed at Fort Meyer, a
government post in Virginia, waiting
orders for the Philippines. Young
Whitman says since resting up he is
ready for a Whirl out there with any
of those bushwhackers and he thinks
he will like the cavalry service. =

A pair OF AngOra goats in the yard
Of J. c. Carman on Milwaukee street
is one Of the greatest curiositieS in the
town. Everybody hasn't seen the
much talked about Angora goat. and
while they remain in Mr.. Carman's
yard the time seems propitious to
make his acquaintance. Unlike his
kindred of the Billy variety, we
believe the Angora has no appetite
for tin cans or other like rubbish.
while the beauty of his appearance is
even more so.

Rev. B. J. Fl. Shaw, pastor of the
First Congregational church, has
announced a services Of six lectures to
be rendered Sunday evenings upon
Ideal Citizenship" We presume

the successful outcome of the political

assure all those interested in this
subject that it will be ably handled
by Rev. Shaw. The business men
have cordial invitation to come out
and hear them.

We received a short letter from Mrs
A. l., Tracy, at Faulkton, South
Dakota, with information that she
was well pleased with 100 acre tract
of land that she had taken as a home
stead out there. She reports it is
nicely located upon which she has had
erected comfortable buildings and
feels greatly elated over the country
and prospects. We hope none of the
winter billiards will have any effect
upon changing Der mind.

We have no desire to cast any re-
Election upon any particular person or
company, but we do believe there has
been, and still is, considerable negli-
gence and carelessneSS shown in
leaving open and unfinished so many
of the excavations made by the water
works contractors, in many parts of
the city. City officers. is there any
practical need of such work? If not,
have it remedied
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1901-11-14

We wonder if the excavation going
on this fall for waterWorks has any
thing to do with the prevalence of
scarlet fever, diptheria and smallpox?
We understand that when Waterworks
were put in ON the Centralia side sew
eral years ago an epidemic of typhoid
fever and diptheria was prevalent. Is
this so? We would be inclined to the
opinion that there might be more
truth than poetry in this idea

This Office is in receipt of a map Of
the state of Wisconsin showing the
location of creamerieS and cheese
factories by red and black spots.
Wood county has q cheese factories
and 10 creamerieS. We also notice
that the compiler, DR.. E. F. Russell,
has located Marshtield as the county
seat Of this county. We presume this
was done to please Adam Paulus of
the MarShfield News who has
persisted in having Marshtield the
county seat of some county ever since
his advent in Marshtield We hope he
will now be satisfied with this one on
paper.

A disappointed but pretty we'll
Gagged" laborer Of the waterWorks
gang, created mild sensation last
Friday by attempting to commit
suicide in the rear of Billy J0hnson's
saloon. 1t is quite a drop from the
platform in the rear Of Mr.. JohnS0ns
saloon to the water in the river, and
our candidate for another world made
the jump with great determination,
but when he alighted in about six
inches of water and a foot Or two of
soft mud he gave up the undertaking
in disgust and concluded to live, like
other people, as long as he can.
W. H. Cochran sold his residence on
French street, On the west side north
of the Green Bay tracks, which
includes his house, barn and other out
buildings and eight lots to NJ. O.
Potter, who will take possession
Immediately. The consideration was
$500. The Cochran family have
rented rooms Of John Parrish on High
street for the winter and in the spring
Mrs. Buelah Biron will erect a house
that will make them a nice modern
home on her lots on High street just
