TiAG0,
Home Talent Affair That Pleased Every.
body-A Two.NichFs Stand.

The best home talent drama that
has been given in Grand Rapids for
many-a-day was the play given at the
Opera House on Tuesday and WedneS-
day evenings, under the auspices of
the G. \. r. society. 1t was lively,
daShing series of scenes, portraying
incidents in the late SpaniSh-Ameri-
can conflict. with bit of love and
romance woven into the story of the
war. Some Of the scenes were eX-
tremely realistic, especially the battle
between the American soldiers and
sailors and Spanish GuerrillaS that
one eXciteable old gentleman IN the
audience tainted away and was carried
out of the hall before the play was
resumed. There was not a poor
representative in the cast of char
acterS, some Of whom had never been
on the stage before, and the military
drill by eighteen young ladies was as
beautiful as lot of pretty and grace
full girls, doing their parts to
perfection, could make it. Where all
did their parts so well we do not feel
like mentioning in particular any
that appeared to us unusually good.
The matter of taking the company
to Merrill is being considered and if
this is done, we can promise the Mer-
rill people an entertainment entirely
worthy Of their patronage.

GRAND RAPIDS
ToMAH INDIANS
Marshfield VS., Grand Rapids.

Were you ever a madly enthusiastic
gamester? Well, if you were not you
cannot appreciate the state of mind of
the people and football players who
wandered up to the fair grounds last
Sunday afternoon to see and take
part in a football game. There was
a steady downpour of rain all the
afternoon, and it looked very much as
if the floods of Noah'S days were to be
repeated. This did not dampen the
enthusiasm little bit. On with the
football and let the best men win.
Not man would bulge for home
until game was called at the finish.
1t was like all games played in the
rain and mud-a slippery, sliding,
sloppy affair. but it ended right to
suit the big majority of the crowd who
witnessed it, as they were nearly all
Grand Rapids people and patriotically
prejudiced in favor Of the home team.
Company A. of Marshield got nit

piled up a score of "a. Grand Rapids.

the past, is particularly strong on

Now Supposed to be Murder.

Our readers will remember the
mention made in the REPORTER last
summer Of the terrible circumstance
of the death Of MiSS Bertha Pelton, a
former Grand Rapids school teacher,
who was supposed at the time to have
been burned to death in a hotel at
Dodge Center, Mimi, while returning
to her horne in Wisconsin. 1t seems
that foul play is suspicioned and
Charles G.. Hartley. the proprietor Of
the Dodge Center Transfer House has
been indicted by the grand jury Of
Dodge County, Mimi, for the murder
of Miss Pelton, the Indictment being
for murder in the first degree. He
met Miss PeltOn at the depot on that
fatal night and escorted her to his
hotel, where she was gwen a room.
The hotel burned before morning and
Hartley claimed he forgot to awaken
his guest, thinking that she had got
out Of the MOTEL with the balance of
the guests. The progress OF the case
will be watched here with great
interest

Second Victory For Hiqh School lean.

Last Saturday the High School foot
ball team of this city met and de-
feated the Tomah Indians with a score
Of 21 to 5.
1t was thought by many that our
boys would meet with defeat, for the
Indians were much heavier than the
local players. The game however
proved that weight is not the only
requisite for good football, but that
team work and speedy playing go a
long ways toward successful football
The first half of the game was a Is
minute half but it was long enough
for our boys to score two tOuchdOwnS.
The first touch down was scored after
seven minutes play when FritzSinger
was pushed across the line. Bunge
failed to kick goal.
The second touch down was scored
by Bunge just ten seconds before the
end of the half. Bunge kicked goal.
Score at end of first half stood II to 0
in favor of Grand Rapids.
The second half was a 20 minute
half. Brennan and Podawiltz each
scored touch down in this half, but
each time the ball was failed to be
heeled SO no goals followed the touch
down.
About three minutes before the end
of the second half, NJ. Dummy, full
back for the Indians, made very
pretty drop kick from the 20 yard line
which resulted in goal. 1t was one
of the prettiest drop kicks ever wit
messed on the home field.
Score at end of second half stood q
to 5 in favor OF home team.
The line-ups were as follows:

mail would have been sent to Grand
Rapids on No. the day you sent for
it. instead Of on No. 3 the next day.
There. old man are the why's and
WherefOreS Of the delays you are kick
ing about. and there is no help for it
unless they put service on and 6. /
expected to see service put on those
trains long before this, as they have
put double daily service on to several
lines up there in Wisconsin that are
not nearly as much entitled to it as
that line is. Take the Horizon s
Portage, Portage & Madison. Milwau-
kee & Madison. Milwaukee & Rock
Island, Duluth & AbbOtSfurd and the
Oshkosh & Milwaukee for instance,
every one of them has double service
and the MinOcqua & New Lisbon is
more entitled to it than any of them,
unless it is the Oshkosh & Milwaukee.
If the business men along the line
would get their congressman or Z. S.
senators to ask for iG for them, they
could have it in less than a month,
and this is how | know il. A while
ago one of the lines in Hon. j. J.
Esch'S district was cut from six crews
to five, Mr.. ESch took it up for the
boys, and the crew was put back on
to the line right off. This crew
wasn't fired, they were put on to other
lines for the sake of economy.
Another Case-One Of the clerks on
the Ashland & Eau Claire died, and
the other two clerks were told that
there would be no appointment made
to I'LL the vacancy caused by his death
and that they would have to keep up
the run. Senator SpoOner took the
thing up for them. and the vacancy
was filled in less than a month after
the clerk died. / relate these cases to
show you that the people up there
have got a cinch on this service, as
one of the most sprominent members
of the house (Hon. j. w. Babcock)
lives right on the line, at Necedah.
and he has good ''stand in" with the
president, and if they ask him to, he
probably would get service put on to
those trains right away

grateful remembrance of,

Communicated,

Mr.. EDITOR: The WauSau Record
of Sept. 11th or 18th contained an
article in regard to the poor mail
service on the Valley Division that
was 0 X as [ know from experience
that every word was true. [ had the
same cause for complaint on several
occasions, and as [ have friends who
are r. r. mail clerks, / wrote one Of
them, citing four or five cases of de-
lays to my mail (all on the Valley and
asked him to explain the delays, as |
knew he was Informed in regard to
such matters. | learned several days
ago that the people Oh the line were
agitating the matter of mail service
on Nos. 5 and 6 SO [ have no doubt
that his letter will interest them, as
it reveals some things that are new to
an outsider, so here is a verbatim copy
of it, minus d few personalities, and |
hope you will publish it.
Very easy to explain these delays
but it Will take some space. If you
was postal clerk ten words would
suffice, viz: Because there is no SER
vice on Nos. and but as you are not
one, this will hardly do it for you.
Now to explain. We postal clerks
don t call any line by it's railroad name,
as the post office department desig-
mates what names the different lines
shall be known by to us. If line has
| mail cars and clerks we say there is
service on the line, and call it a rail
| way post-office r. p. o. and if it
| doesn't we say there is no service and
call it r. r. All trains carrying
mail locked pouches. and not carrying
mail cars and clerks are known as
express trains. The line you are kick
ing on we call the MinOcqua & New
| Lisbon r. p. O. and the branch from
| BabCock to Arpin is called the Arpin
& Babcock r. r. These Illustrations
will help you out on what is to follow.
As to the delays and the cause of them,
one case will answer for all. This is
how your cards for NekOoSa, which
you mailed at Grand Rapids at $3.50 a.
m. was. or should have been handled.
The postmaster at Grand Rapids put
| it in a pouch labeled Chicago & Min
Ineapolis train No. 6. The pouch was
sent to New Lisbon in the baggage
car on express train 6, put into the
mail car on Chicago & Minneapolis
train 6, opened by the clerks on that
train. and the mail distributed.
Your card was dispatched to Chicago
& Minneapolis train and the postal
clerk on No. put it in pouch which
he makes up for Nekoosa, every day
except Sunday. and put it off at New
! Lisbon, then it was put in the bag
gage Car on express train 5 on the
| Minneapolis s. New Lisbon, and put
off at Nekoosa by the baggageman.
So you see the postmaster didn't get
your card until about p. m., so he
couldn't possibly send your mail until
the next a. m. On No. and the post
master at Grand Rapids was in the
same fix about sending it to Toma-
hawk. as Chicago & Minneapolis train
5 doen't pouch on that post-Of1ice.
| Don't blame the pOstmaSters for the
delays as they did the best they could
under the circumstances. If there
was service on Nos . and 6 your card
would have reached the postmaster at
tNecedah shortly afternoon and your
