Deputy Sheriff Fernandez of Eva is
now in Honolulu, having been called
here as a witness in the case Of Ka-
waika, in the Circuit Court, the de-
PENDANT having been arrested by him.
Fernandez says that Pearl City is a
perfect mud-puddIe and that it is al
most impossible for people TO get

taro patches. A large tree which
stood near the courthouse was blown
over and went crashing into tele-

Grand Rapids and 1901.

The business outlook for this city
during The coming year has never been
paralleled in the history Of the town.
A new and important line OF railroad
will be built into the town connecting
US most advantageOuSly with the
markets of the east and atfOrding US
all that is desirable in railroad COM
petition for the merchandise and
passenger traffic of the city. Large
sums will be expended in public i'm
provements, notably the new system
of waterworks for the town. There is a
strong probability that the long talked
of dam across the Wisconsin river at
the rapids will be built and the
immense water power partially if not
wholly utilized. There was a large
emigration to the county last year
and much idle land bought and settled
upon. This year the prospects in this
line are even better. With all this
vast outlay Of money expended in our
midst, can the merchant, the laborer,
the mechanic or the professional man
look for anything but busy and profit
able times here. All should make
ready to take advantage Of this
prosperous tide in our affairs and help
to push it along. A glance at the
advertisements in this weeks Re
PORTER shows that many of our
merchants are preparing for big stocks
and big trade the coming season by
closing out all old stock to be replaced
with new and seaSonable goods early
in the spring. 1t will pay them as
there will be a good harvest for the
men who are at the front and up-to-
date with their goods.

Advancement Association Needs.
Central Wisconsin.


There was important feature, or
development, about the recent
meeting of the Wisconsin Advance
ment Association that was not made
sufficiently plain in the hurried
reports given to the press last week.
This was the matter of finances The
officers have found that the member
ship fees do not provide sufficient
funds to satisfactorily carry on the
work, If an experienced promoter is
employed, and it has become necessary
to devise other means of raising
revenue. An effort will be made to
secure assistance from the owners of
the many large tracts of land in the
valley held for speculative purposes,
but it is not thought any very large
sum will be realized from this source.
\ plan was finally adopted and it is
clearly explained by the following
resolutions introduced by Senator A.
l.. kreutzer of this city:
WHEREAS, The financial resources
of the Wisconsin Valley Advance
ment Association, from the payment
Of annual dues, are not sufficient to
meet the salary of competent
secretary and the other currents
expenses of the association: and
WHEREAS, 1t is practically
indispensable, in order to realize the
full benefit OF the past years efforts.
that vigorous campaign be carried
on during the coming year:
THEREFORE, BE 1T RESOLVED.
That the directors take up with the
local associations of which they are
members and with the members in
the counties in which they reside. the
matter of contributing to a fund for
the payment of the salary of a secre-
tary and other necessary expenses.
The amount estimated as needed to
place the Association upon a working
basis is $4,000: this sum will enable
the Association to continue its work
and utilize the information and
statistics already collected in regard
TO the water powers and other resources
of the valley.

the choppers returned to the hall to
initiate a new applicant, which was
done in grand style by the team, the

the ceremony ballot was taken on
seven new applicants, which were
recommended by the organizer,

sesses in high degree the necessary
qualifications for the proper fulfill
ment of the duties of that office. He
is firm. honest and true to every
friend and faithful to every principle
he advocates. The people will not be
disappointed. His administration of
public affairs will be efficient and
just. Time will convince his. enemies
that his political ambitions are
prompted for noble purpose rather
than personal ambition for self praise.
We have no fear of his future record

been tried and not found wanting
for many years. 1t is now too late
for him to change. After twenty
years personal acquaintance we are
willing to trust him.

Stevens Point Gazette.
Before Judge Webb at Grand Rap
ids, next Monday, mandamus to
compel the county board of Adams
county to issue bonds in the sum of
$780, 900 to the Princeton & Wisconsin
River Railroad Co., will be argued.
Petitions were circulated through that
county some months ago by interested
parties, and sufficient number of
signatures secured, either genuine or
otherwise, to bond the county in the
above sum in aid to the said road, a
new corporation of which Roland A..
Crandal is president and Walter S.
Syrat is secretary.
Certain citizens of the county are
opposed to the bonding, and are fight
ing the case in court, being represent
ed by W. S. Stroud of Portage, and
Cate, LamoreuX & Park, of this city,
while the railroad company are repre-
sented by Milwaukee, Chicago and
Portage attorneys.
The original petition was stolen
from the county clerks Office few
weeks ago, but duplicate copies were
kept and will no doubt be introduced
in evidence.

Mr.. Lang may or may not be
"tickled to death" as the Journal sug-

These same old fellows not only know

The coming of the Goth century
witnessed the death of Ignatius
Donnelly of Minnesota. His was one
of the most cratic minds Of the times,
but among the men Of varied and
vast mental attachments in the
United States, Donpelly was among
the first. His Great Cryptogram, .
purporting to contain the discovery of
the Baconian cipher, to prove that
ShakSpeare's plays were written by
Lord Bacon, was one of the most
ingenious books of the times Many
other of his works attracted wide
attention but he was also diStin-
guiShed as a philosopher, and
politician as well as an author.
Whatever we may think of his
political ideas, we recognize his
genius, and have respect for his great
ability.
