What's in a Pickle.

Not much this year in this vicinity
we are sorry to say. The season
started out with the most promising
outlook. Nearly 300 acres were planted
in the neighborhood of this city and
the vines grew as prolifically as the
most optimistic farmer could desire,
but the unprecedented drouth which
occurred when the crop should have
been maturing on the vines, made the
experiment this year almost failure.
They have in the tanks at the Salting
station about $500 bushels Of pickles
and will probably get enough more to
make the amount salted at this sta
tiOn this year 10000 bushels. In an
ordinarily good year the amount, con-
Sidering the acreage, should have been
between thirty and forty thousand
bushels. This must not discourage
the pickle growers here. There may
not come such a drouth again in
twenty years, and the experiments SO
far made have demOnStra ted the fact
that under ordinary conditions this is
one of the most productive pickle
districts in the state. Mr.. Peterson,
the cOmpany'S agent at this point,
will begin taking contracts for next
years planting at once, and all grow
erS are urged to try the experiment
again next year, when the conditions
will undoubtedly be much more favor
able.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY
will Begin at Grand Rapids on November Isl
so Say Late Dispatches.

The first rural free delivery will be
established at Grand Rapids, Novem-
Der /, 1901. The service will cover
an area Of thirty-one square miles
with a population of $50. Theodore
Z. Iimm was appointed carrier and
will commence his duty on that date
Preliminary work on application has
been made for second district into
the towns of Rudolph and Sigel. 1t
will without doubt be granted Uncle
Sam is pretty SLOW in his action-but
sure. Arrangements are to be made
to have the carrier register packages
and letters along the route. The
following is description of the route:
Starting at the Grand Rapids post
office it goes in nOrtherly direction
to the city limits, thence northeast on
the river road to BirOn thence in a
Southerly direction to the PlOver road,
thence southwest on PlOver road to
LutZ road, thence south on Lutz road
to intersection of the Four Mile Creek
road, thence southeast to Smiths
corners, thence east on north road 81
miles, thence north and east one mile,
thence north to Eberhardt'S corners,
thence east to Gaulke'S corners, thence
south to Rickman's corners, thence
east to Lutheran church, thence south
to the Timm road, thence west on the
Timm road, thence north on Portage
road to city limits, thence to Grand
Rapids postoffice. The length of route
is 254 miles. The salary of the carrier
is $500 per year. he to furnish his own
conveyance, but it is expected that
there are perquiSiteS in connection
worth about 5000 more per year.

Nineteen Years Blind.
[Copied from Montreal paper ]

For nineteen years Joseph Brunette
of Montreal, Province of Quebec. has
been completely blind. This case
would seem almost fabulous and a
miracle, but it is a positive fact. 1t
is nineteen years ago since Young
medical student and a distributor of
medicines to the patients in the Hotel
Dieu hospital, Montreal. that one
morning this unfortunate young man
awoke blind, and as matter of course
all of the medical faculties gave their
assistance TO the unfortunate, but
finally pronounced him blind for life,
and also all the eminent oculists
OF Canada and of the eastern states
confirmed this unfortunate opinion.
Mr.. Brunette never lost courage.
He made many pilgrimageS and htld
many consultations. The poor blind
man was well acquainted with the
citizens of Montreal and with the
assistance Of his cane he became
accustomed to the ways Of going and
coming from visiting friends, and
enjoyed himself as we'll as could be
expected of blind man.
One day Mr.. Brunette learned that
his brother, who had been blind for
five years and had become blind in the
same way as himself and had been
pronounced, as himself, to be blind
for life, had been cured at Valleyfield
by DR.. de Grandpre. The brother who
had been blind fer FIVE years was
being treated for some lung and stom-
ach trouble when DR.. de Grandpre
discovered the cause of blindness and
cured the unfortunate in very short
time, without dOctoring the eyes.
Although Joseph Brunette did not
believe that his brother had received
his eye sight, he, nevertheless, went
to Valleytield to make certain and it
was with pleasure that he found his
brother, as he had been informed,
with good eye sight.
be interviewed Immediately and on
arriving at the doctors place he told
his trouble and wanted treatment,
but the doctor refused for the follow
Ing reasons: That to undertake to
cure blindness of nineteen years dur
alton, which was hereditary an0 had
been so pronounced by all of the emf
nent OculistS, would be an act of pre-
sumption and very ridiculous. But
Mr.. Brunette insisted So urgently that
the doctor finally consented to treat
him, with one cOnSidera tion-the
treatment should be perfect secret,
and the result was that one month
after the commencement of the treat
ment Mr.. Jos. Brunette was not blind
any more, he could read the news
papers and could, without the assist
ance of glasses, thread a fine needle.
Now, the impressions of a man.
after having been blind for nineteen
years, would form a volume. The
colors, the trees, the houses, the men.
ETC., were all different from what he
had in mind while blind. He found
the city much embellished in the
nineteen years.
Doctor de Grandpre practiced his
profession in our city many years.

THE RUDOLPH ROAD.
Mr.. Sharkey as Superintendent Will Commence
Work Monday
Stevens Point Journal.

Stevens Point Journal
The Citizens committee appointed
to investigate and carry on the i'm
provement of the highway from this
city to Rudolph has made arrange
mentS to commence the improvement
Monday. Mr.. Sharkey of Rudolph has
been appointed to Superintend the
work. One of the committee asserts
as guess that the improvement will
cost between $500 and S400. AS a
guarantee for the amount, the farmers
of Rudolph and vicinity have pledged
$3.50 worth Of work, the town of Lin
wood Sl25 in cash and the business
men of Stevens Point a like amount.
The worst part of the road is a section
three quarters of mile in length in
the town of LinwOOd near the county
line. The road has been surveyed and
a trail cut through the timber. That
is about all that can be said for it at
present. Monday men will be set to
work blasting out the rock and StumpS
strengthening and turnpiking the
roadbed. When completed the road
will be paSsable for all kinds of teams
and loads and will savesthe farmers of
Rudolph, who wish to trade here six
miles Of travel on the round trip.
The improvement will largely.increaSe
the trade with the farmers from the
town Of Rudolph and vicinity. Mr..
Sharkey is an experienced road
builder, having built most of the
roads through the northern part of
Wood county.

PRINCETON AND GRAND RAPIDS.
Connected on Wednesday by the Northwestern
Road

Early "Wednesday morning the
people of Grand Rapids were attracted
by strange ana unSual steam whistle
in the eastern part of the city which
kept up a persistent footing at very
short intervals. 1t was soon noiSed
abroad that this was on the cOnStruc-
tion train that was laying ties and
rails along the Northwestern grade
into the city. ASit came nearer and
nearer to the city pedestrians, wheel
men and vehicles of all descriptions
filed with people wended their way to
the eastern suburbs along the grade to
see the road laid into town, several
hundred people being gathered along
the track, and most Of them were we'll
repaid for their trouble in the novel
sight they witnessed. Many people
have seen railroads built, but few
have seen the ingenious modern
appliances now uSeduin the LAYING of
ties and steel rails. A train load of
supplies is carried on the construction
train which moves along over the
| track being laid in it's Immediate
front. It moves the length of a rail
at time-30 feet-when it halts dur
| ing an interval of 40 or so seconds
while two new rails are laid loosely on
the ties and fastened by braces so the
rails cannot spread when it again
moves forward. Automatic carriers
are attached to the fiat cars of which
the train is composed. Into these
carriers on one side of the train the
rails are dumped and on the other side,
the ties. and they are carried to the
front Of the train where one large
gang of men take the ties and distri-
butte them along the grade and
another force on the other side of the
train take the rails and lay and fasten
them upon the ties. Following the
train is a large force of spikers, who
spike the rails to the ties and easily
keep pace with the moving train.
The force consists of 140 or $50 men
and they are expected to lay about two
and one-half miles of track per day.
| The track was completed to the
| bridge on the east side at about IL
O'Clock and this construction train
will go back to Fond du Lac and from
there to Marshfeld and the road
between here and Marshfeld will be
constructed from that city, as they
can procure material more easily that
| way than over the new road from
Princeton. Trains are now running
regularly from Almond to Princeton
and it is expected that within the
next two weeks an accommodation
train will be run daily to Grand
Rapids, but when Marshfield is con-
nected this will probably tecome the
main line of the Northwestern road
from ST. Paul to Chicago.

Railroad Notes.

The men at work on the ironwork
of the new Northwestern bridge are a
very busy lot. The work has begun
on the middle span, just east of the
island, and the long girders have been
placed in position here, besides many
of the upright pieces and heavy steel
braces, rods, etc. The great size of
the steel frames for the structure indi-
Gates something OF the substantial
character of the bridge, which will be
one of the best in the state. The
date for it's completion is Nov. 18th,
but owing to the scarcity Of help it is
doubtful if it will be finished on
time.
W. K. Cook has recommended the
purchase of the right-of-way to Ne
koOSa which was temporarily aban-
doned last spring to catch up more
pressing work in other localities.
Since his departure from Grand Rap
ids last spring Mr.. Cook has made
extensive purchases for the company
in Illinois and as far west as Sioux
CITY. Iowa.

Homeopathic Physician Has Arrived.

DR.. f. d. Humphrey, homeopathic
physician and surgeon, of Clintonville,
Wisconsin, arrived in this city the
past week and can be found in his
office over the "White 'front.'" and
across the hall from H. Wipperman's S
law office. Mr.. Humphrey comes
highly recommended as a gentlemen
and physician and we sincerely hope
he will aot be disappointed in Grand
Rapids or its citizens. We extend to
the doctor and his family, who will
follow him later, cordial welcome to
all the good things this city affords.
The following notices are taken from
the Clintonville Sun and Tribune
which are self explanatory:
DR.. T. D. Humphrey, homeopathic
physician and surgeon, has decided to
remove from this city and locate in
Grand Rapids, this state. During DR..
Humphreys residence in this city he
has made many warm friends, both
socially and professionally and we
shall be sorry to lose him and his
family. We cheerfully recommend
him to the good people of the twin
cities of Grand Rapids and Centralia
and hope that his new field will prove
to be a very promising one.
DR.. Humphrey, has decided to leave
Clintonville and locate at Grand Rap
ids, Wis, and will depart next week
ii he can close up his business. His
family will remain here until this fall.
Although Clintonville is well supplied
with physicians DR.. Humphrey has
always been busy and has made many
friends among the people of the city
and country. Grand Rapids is a very
thriving city and he sees a better
prospect there for him. there being but
five doctors there and none of his
school.

Read and Digest This,

The Wausau Pilot Review published
the following sensible comments in
its last issue:
There are times when patience
ceases to be virtue in the print-Shop
as well as in other institutions. Men
are found in every community who
think that newspapers are being
conducted for their especial benefit:
they think they know just how a
paper should be run and what kind of
news ought to be published therein
of course, bristling with good points
about their own dear selves Then
there are those who think that an
entertainment Of any kind is not
noticed unless about 100 lines are
given it by each paper in the city:

the papers should print the county

Killed al ManaWa.

William Guerin, for many years a
met shocking death Saturday after
noon. The eaStbound passenger train
on the Green Bay & Western railway
had been switched on to the sidetrack
at Manawa to let another train pass
by, when Mr.. Guerin came along and
stepped on the front platform of the
mail car. There he stood conversing
with friends until the train pulled
back on the main track. In some
manner his body came in contact with
the edge of the depot platform and
was thrown under the wheels. Both
legs were cut off and a few minutes
later he died. No blame for the acci-
dent attaches to anyone except the
unfortunate man himself.

Valuable improvements.

At recent meeting of the Johnson
& Hill Co. it was decided to make
some valuable improvements to the
dry goods and clothing departments of
their stores on the west side. An
electric elevator, which with furnish
ings will cost them about $1,000, will
be placed in The dry goods depart
ment, running from the basement to
the second floor. This will give them
three floors instead of one to use in
their rapidly growing business. The
floor upstairs will embrace eventually
all the space over the dry goods de-
partment and to reach it, all that will
be necessary to do is to step into the
elevator and press a button, and the
electric motor will do the rest. This
upstairs is a nice, high, airy room,
with plenty of light and warmth, and
will make as fine saleSrooni as the
room below. Besides the changes
above mentioned the company will
put in the new and up-to-date system
of package carriers and wrapping
device which will be great cOnven-
ience to customers and the store force
as well. We congratulate Johnson &
Hill Go. on the growth of trade that
demands this large extension of their
store facilities.
