Birthday Surprise Party.

The home of County Clerk E. S.
Renne was the scene of a happy
gathering of neighborS and friends
Saturday evening. The occasion for
this gathering was the birthday OF
Mrs. E. S. Renne and her daughter
Della, which occurred on the same
date, March 10. The matter of age with
a woman is delicate subject and there
fore will prevent US from mentioning
their respective ages, but some
number between Is and 45 years will
cover both periods of existence. The
following ladies and gentlemen were
present.:
Messrs. and Mesdames H. w. Lord,
James Miller, w. L. Scott, A. NJ.
Muir, Lafayette Porter, r. M.
Beeston, Oscar Crotteau, A. L.
Fontaine and Mr.. Arthur Rintelman.
Mesdames Orrin Gray and two
daughters. Mamie and Nellie, Grandma
Little, JONAS Stein, B. O'Dav, D. E.
Cary, F.NE. Carey, Chas. Quinn, R.
Fergusons Allen jenkins and the
Misses Carrie Miller and Mabel
McCamley.
The ladies walked in upon Mrs.
Renne at 4 o'clock in the afternoon
and the men folks happened in at six
O'Clock IN time to join in the refresh
ment act. To say that all present had
a good time would be stating it
lightly, for we had a most royal time.
For amusement they sang. danced,
cake walked and told conundrums
until late hour when they dispersed

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
August Rege Killed at Junction City on the
Milwaukee Road Friday Niubt.

August Rege, conductor on the
Wisconsin Valley division of the
| Milwaukee road, was instantly killed
at Junction City Friday night. His
train left the station about $50 and
as the hind end passed the switch.
| the operator noticed it was cut in two
about four cars from the end. He
called to Rege. who was standing on
the rear platform of the caboose. and
Rege went inside and came out on
the roof. 1t is thought he understood
that brakes were set and went for
ward to loosen them, walking off the
broken section.
The brakeman. L. Hackney, was on
the car next ahead of where the train
was broken and saw the conductor
fail. He then found that the part of
the train he was on. was also broken
from the engine, and continued giving
the 'broke-in-two" signal. For some
reason the head end crew did not get
or heed the signal and went into
Grand Rapids before they knew of the
accident.
From the information brought out
at the inquest it appears that Rege
fell head foremost and was dragged
under the wheels. His brains we're
scattered about where he fell, one leg
and part of the other were outside
the rails and the body was horribly
torn to pieces.
The brakeman came back to the
station and several citizens went to
the place Of the accident and picked
up the fragments of the body, bring
ing them back to the station.
Mr.. Rege was 30 years of age and
had been in the employ of the rail-
way company seven years. He leaves
wife and one child at BabcOck. His
parents are Mr.. and Mrs. Dan Rege,
old settlers of Wood county, residing
near this city. His brother, William
Rege, is also conductor on the same
division.
The cOroner's jury rendered ver-
dict of accidental death, Saturday
evening.
Nj. A. BOgOger was summoned from
Grand Rapids to prepare the remains
for burial, and although terribly
mangied. they were made quite
presentable and taken to Babcock
and later to Sparta, the home of his
wife's parents, where they were
inferred Sunday.
The circumstance of Conductor
Reyes losing his clothes and a large
amount of valuable paper at Junction
City last summer will be remembered
by many of our readers The clothes
and paper were stolen by a tramp
looking for lmoney and were after
ward found near the scene of the theft.

TEACHERS VISIT ARPIN,
E. P. Arpin Gives Local Teachers a Nice
0utinu SATURDAY..

Doubtless Supt. Hambrecht was
never greeted by a more enthusiastic
audience than the one of teachers
assembled after Forum Friday even
ing to hear matter of Importance he
wished to communicate.
The important matter proved to be
an invitation extended to the teachers
of our public schools by Mr.. and Mrs.
E. P. Arpin to their guests at the
lumber camps on the following day.
The party consisted of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. P. Arpin, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. P.
Hambrecht, Geo. T. BIynd, Kate
McKercher, Kate Andrews, Alice e.
Carlton, VIM. D. Fuller, Sara G..

Arpin, most of whom arrived at the
depot Saturday morning just before
train time to be met with the informa-
tion that wreck at Vesper might
neceSSitate the pOStpOnement of their
trip. Telephone messages to the late
arrivals, and kilograms up the road
kept every one busy for some time.
1t was finally decided that the
journey might be undertaken but at
a later hour than at first intended.
The Soutb-bOund train carried the
party at the depot to The south side
where the paper mill was thoroughly
inspected. On their return from the
mill the party was met at the depot
by re-inforcementS with refreshments
which were served en-rOute.
Arriving at Arpin teams were in
readiness and fairly flew up the ice
roads through the forests. To those
who never before had beheld a forest

Another Architecture Beauty.

Thos. E. Nash is planning a hand
some residence in this city to be
built on the west side this spring, the
preliminary woIA to be begun as soon
as the frost is sufficiently out of the
ground to permit operations. 1t will
be built of brick with brown stone
trimmings on the site of his present
home. w. E. Ule & CO. of Stevens
Point will have charge of the brick
and stone work, while the carpentry
work and general supervision of
construction will be in the hands of
Architect W. NJ. Martin of this city.
The Centralia Hardware Co. will put
in the furnace and do the plumbing
work. This will be an expensive and
handsome building and when COM
pleted will probably reflect the
excellent taste of Mr.. and Mrs
T. e. Nash in an ideal house.

camp did not compare fayorably with
tbn raa1 article

camp did not compare faVOrably With
the real article.
Three cheers for the host and
hostess, three more for the cook and
cookee and the party was driven
rapidly to the mill where the convert
ing of logs into lumber was watched
with much interest. A walk through
the extensive yards, an inspection of
the planning mill, drive through the
logs piled in readiness for saving,
and then the whistle warned all that
too soon the return journey must be
made
The sublime grandeur of nature: the
immenSity of the work carried on:
the greatness of the force that pro-
PEELED the machinery; the necessity
for unity of action on the part of
every employe; the SyStematiZation of
the work from the telling of the tree
to the piling of the lumber were some
of the thoughts left with the party
for reflection as Arpin faded away in
the distance.
"A jollier party would be hard to
find than the one that stepped from
the train at five O'Clock, feeling that a
day full of pleasure and profit had
been spent; that such occasions
make life really worth while:
that it wasn't a hardship to be
numbered among Grand Rapids school
teachers; that in all that stands for
good in manhood and womanhood
Mr.. and Mrs. Arpin have few equals
and that the day spent as their guests
will long stand pre-eminently before
the teachers of Grand Rapids as the
red letter day in their calendar.

BIG CAMPMEETING,
Seven Day Adventists Will. Hold One in Grand
Rapids Next June,

The Seven Day Adventist confer
ence, embracing all the churches of
that denomination in this state,
selected Grand Rapids as their place
for holding their annual camp meet
ing this year. The meeting is to
begin on June I'd and will last about
two weeks. Services will be held in
three big tents and from these
addresses will be delivered in the
German, Scandinavian and English
languages. Some 1900 or 1,50O people
at least are expected to be present
from outside of this city.
The place of holding the meeting
has not yet been determined upon.
1t is desired to hold it in the old
fair grounds if permission can be
secured from the city officials, but
this will be no barrier to the meeting
as there are hundred good sites in
and about this city for such gather
ing.
This society has no church edifce
here but we understand it has an
enthusiastic organization and a
pastor, Rev. G.. A. Grauer, who holds
services every Sunday.

Notes From Madison,

Madison, March 10, 1901, "A. L.
FONTAINE, Grand Rapids, Wis.-Dear
Sir: The third house of the legiSla-
ture was heard from at Thursdays
session, in the form of d petition to
the senate and assembly in favor of
bill 56Sa providing railroad tranSpor-
tatiOn for the senate and assembly
employees.
Bill 302a introduced by Mr.. Cady,
providing fiShwayS in dams, bOoms,
piers and other distractions on Yellow
River in the counties of Wood and
Juneau has been reported by the
committee on fish and game for
passage.
Nj. G. No. "a introduced by Mr.. Hall
of Dunn county, relating to the
"Cullom bill'' passed the assembly at
Fridays session. Mr.. Hall gave an
extended talk on the floor of the
assembly in favor of the memorial.
Your correspondent being somewhat
interested in bill 5S8a, relating to
mileage for legislative employees, has
taken pains. to inform himself as to
the legality of such measure: and
we find that should such a bill pass
without providing for constitutional
amendment it would be void; as the
constitution provides for mileage fees
for legislators and no one else; and
should bill of this nature pass this
session providing for an amendment
to the Constitution, it would neceS-
sarily take four years before it would
become a law, aS it would have to pass
both houses of the legislature at two
biennial sessions and then 60 to a vote
of the people. ASSemblyman Frank
A. Cady went to Chicago Friday on
business connected with the legiSla-
ture and returned to Madison on
Monday in time for the evening
session.
A joint resolution agreeing to the
constitutional amendment changing
the time of election and term of the
state superintendent of public inStruc-
tiOn was adopted by the senate at
Thursdays session. Senator Fearne
alone voting in opposition. The reso-
luton provides that the Superinten-
dent shall be elected at the spring
election, and the term to be four
years, to begin the first Monday in
July. The amendment having passed
two biennial sessions of the legislature
will now go to the people for ratitica
tiOn.
Joint resolution 15a which changes
constitution so that SheriffS may be
once reelected was killed. Judge
Orton of the judiciary committee said,
"theSe frequent changes of the organic
law of state should be discouraged"
Again, the power of SheriffS is great:
by breaking the term they are pre-
vented from oppression,
Very respectfully,
Henry Forbes.

Will Ask for a Tax Commission.

The Marshfield papers report that
the city council of that city has
decided to ask Judge Webb for a
commission to investigate the
equalization of taxes in this county.
We notice that the committee
appointed by the city council Of
Marshfield to investigate the subject.
while they report in favor of a tax
commission being appointed, do pot
charge the county board of equali-
zation with any intention of discrimi-
mating against Marshfield. Such a
commission can undoubtedly do a
great deal of good, at all events
Marshfield will have to be satisfied
with their findings. We hope a good
basis for future taxation will result.

COUNTY JUDGE.

1t was generally believed that the
Hon. j. A. Gaynor. county judge,
would have free, open course for re-
election this spring, but it is an
nounced that the Junior member of
the law tirm of Conway, Williams &
Conway. in the person of W. j.
Conway, will contest with him for
that office. Whether this is wise
move for Will to make at this time
we can better judge when election is
over. There are many good reasons
why Judge Gaynor is entitled to
another term and reelection and we
were i'll hopes he could succeed him
self without much expense. A contest
always adds greatly to the expense of
a campaign on both sides. However
this may be, it is the privilege and
pleasure of any citizen to seek office
and be candidate for any public
office that they may deem themselves
qualified to fill.
Will Conway was born and reared in
Wood county, and is home product
in which we all feel proud. He is an
exemplary young man of good habits,
ability, honesty and integrity, possess
ing excellent traits of character that
are greatly to be admired in a young
man. He is much above the average
young men OF his age, but we do really
feel that he is making a mistake in
being candidate at this time. 1t is
inopportune from every standpoint
we view it.
Judge Gaynor has the reputation of
being one of the best qualified men
for that office that has ever served
Wood county in that capacity. A
good lawyer, possessing a judicial
mind, ripe experience from long
practice in the several courts in the
state, man of honor and. integrity,
public spirited, aud can always be
found on the side of the people. He
rightfuily is entitled to a second term
and we honestly believe the people
will give it to him.

Final Settlement in the NarshfieId Tax Suit
Marshfeld News


The final chapter in the notable
Davis & Starr tax suit was enacted
this week upon the receipt of a check
in full by City Treasurer Chris.
Dorpat. The opening Of the case
dates back to 1898 when the city
assessor in making his rounds, over
looked lumber and logs owned by the
company the taxes upon which
amounted to S94634 Attention was
called to this omission by w. A. Pors,
then city clerk, and the taxes of 1898
was included in the rolls of 1899.
This action, th3 Davis & Starr
company ccntended was unlawful
citing law passed by the legislature
in the latter year. The point to be
decided by the courts was whether the
law was retroactive. The case was
first tried before Judge Webb in the
circuit court. Here the city won.
The supreme court was then appealed
to and the decision of the lower court
was affirmed. The amount paid to
the city was s113S.9S, the increase
being interest, costs and fees.

Looking for Other Worlds to Conquer.

kellogg Bros. of this city now have
six lum Der yards scattered over this
section of Wisconsin and are still
looking for more yards to purchase.
The yards are located as follows:
Packwaukee and Endeavor in Marquet

two in this city and one in Nekoosa.
They are clean dealers and their
yards are everywhere popular trading

Another Railroad Combination.

Press dispatches claim that the
Illinois Central railroad is making
strenuous efforts to secure control of
the Wisconsin Central road, which
would give the Illinois Central a
direct line from st. Paul to New
Orleans. This may effect the figuring
still going on. relative to the final
disposition of the NJ. & S. E. road.
The Marshfeld g. Southeastern is
certain to become a part of one Or
another of the big systems of road
competing for Wisconsin River Valley
business, and President Scott of this
road is undoubtedly aware of the
points of vantage he occupies in the
premises.
