An Easy One.

Kruger & Cameron wants a salts
factory explanation from anybody to
what seems to them puzzler. 1t is
this: They had some Out-Of-Style but
good, everyday caps and shirts,
suitable for rough service, that they
marked down leaps 10 cents and
shirts 25 cents, take your choice for
the money" and put them in boxes
and set them in conspicuous place in
front of their store. They did not
sell, SO they finally sold the whole
bunch to Max SteinbuTg, the second
hand man, who took them over to
his place of business and sold them
readily for the following prices: caps,
25 cents; shirts. so cents We are
glad to have an opportunity to
answer puzzle Of this kind, and our
answer is this: If MeSSrs. Kruger &
Cameron had accurately described the
goods they wished to get rid of and
told the exact reduction they had
made on them for this purpose, and
inserted the same in a nice little
advertisement in the REPORTER they
would have sold those goods them
selves and probably lot of others
besides, and perhaps have secured pew
and regular patrons. Other men are
doing the same thing every week
with us, and we think we have made
a true solution of the puzzle. They
| went to Max Steinberg expecting
bargains. If they had been convinced
that Kruger & Cameron had greater
bargains, they would have purchased
| there. Next.

they removed to Grand Rapids where
they have since resided: Since coming
to this country she had made her
home with her son. Herman BOetcher,
of this city. She has another son,
Henry, who is farming in the town of
Sigel. She had not been really we'll
for some time, but was taken with a
severe cold Saturday and did not after
ward arise from her bed. The end
came SO peacefully that the watchers
did not know when she passed away.
For the past 30 years Mrs. Boetcher
has been almost blind and for Il or 13
years she has been totally blind. Her
husband died seven years ago last June
and the remains of the two aged
people will lie side by side in Forest
Hill cemetery.

| Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at

but was only confined to her home
about six weeks prior to her death

many friends and acquaintanceS.

Louis r. Jewell the Third was
born and reared in Lincoln township
and Lincoln township is indeed proud
OF the record that he has made.
Pure in thought, of stainless character,
courteous to strangers and devoted to

The bride was born and reared in
Wisconsin, where her parents now
reside. In her native state and in
Kansas she has followed teaching for
several years. She is granddaughter
of B. RedlOn, one of the wealthy men
of this county. We do not know her;
but we know she has won Il Jewell in
fact as we'll as ia name.
The people of Grand Rapids do not
know this Kansas Jewell, but they do
know Miss Lulu E. Lemley and her
parents well, and knowing and respect
ing both her and her parents, they
will be glad to hear that she is happily
married, and hope that her husband
is as much Of q jewel as he is claimed
to be

A ScarecroW to Horses.

About every time, and that is otter
two or three times a day, that
mounted engine for saving wooC
crosses the bridge, the next thing to &
runaway is witnessed. Horses real
and shy and timid pedestrians hurry
out of dangers way. There was {
miXup of this character on the west
end of the bridge Wednesday evening
and while one team was being quieteC
from it's fear Of the passing engine, {
runaway came tearing down the street
and struck the big telephone pole by
side of the LaMadeline house. They
broke loose from the sleigh here anC
ran across the bridge. The runaway
belonged to E. O. Voyer, the sewing
machine man. No great damage was
done, but with the pedestrians anC
teams in the street it looked dangerous
there for few moments.

NEW COUNTY OFFICERS,
Presto Change! And the Ins go out and The
Outs Come In. Change Made Monday.

There was that peculiar atmosphere
about the court house Monday morn
ing that one experiences who calls
upon a family moving into a new
house. Everything seemed so un-
settled and strange. The offices
appeared bare from the removal of the
personal effects Of the former officers.
and the new men had not brought
their luggage with them to any
noticeable degree.
Register Upham with his clerk, Miss
SteJzer, were endeavoring to get ac-
quainted with the vault in the
registers office. Clerk of Circuit
Court Podawiltz was being introduced
to the books and duties of his office
by retiring Clerk White. Treasurer
SearlS was figuring out the combina-
tiOn to the vault in the treasurer's
office, Mr.. FleckenStine being called
to MarShtield Monday morning on an
important business matter, but he
will return next week and spend a few
days with the new treasurer to some
what familiariZe him with his work.
e. S. Renne, we heard, had decided
not to accept Of the county clerks
office, but upon calling at THAI office
Will Reeves informed u that Mr..
Renne would act as clerk all right
when he got through with a law suit
at Marshtield which he had to look
after Monday. Over at the county
jail we found James McLaughlin, the
new sheriff, and his underSheriff, w.
J. Shea, of this city. Mr.. Mclaughlin
moved his family from BabcOck into
their new quarters in the jail last
Thursday and they are beginning to
feel quite at home there already.
EX-Sheriff Michael Vincent has moved
back upon his farm and will resume an
occupation that may not be so exciting
a calling as that of sheriff, but one
that is not without it's pleasures and
profits.
Orrin Gray, l. E. Philleo and W. J.
Conway are checking over the books
of the different officers to report TO

CRANBERRY GROWERS MEET,
Annual Session of State Association Held in
the City Hall Tuesday. Jan. s,

| The Wisconsin State Cranberry
Growers association held its annual
meeting in the city hall on the west
side, Tuesday. There was an un-
usually large attendance for this
January meeting and an especially
successful and interesting meeting
| followed.
President ChaS. Briere of this CITY
made an appropriate address which in
substance contained the following
recommendation and suggestions:
He said that growers should pack
their berries in firSt-claSS shape and it
was better to screen out all the small
berries of inch and less. All the
larger growers of the east are gather
ing their berries with what are here
called ''rakes." They gather their
crop at cost not to exceed rs cents
per barrel. 1t costs us here at least
sl.2O TO Sl.50 per barrel. AS you will
see it gives eastern growers large
margin on the cost of harvesting their
crop. We have here on exhibition
two machines called ''cranberry
pickers." They are duplicates of our
Old-Style rakes without any improve
ment. Our experiment station is in
fine shape. We have now over 20
varieties of cranberries planted on the
nursery" that we are propOgating.
They are some of the best selected
vines from the experimental station.
Some were selected for their large
size, others for their shape, color, early
ripening quality and some for their
long keeping quality. | am glad to
hear and state to you that nearly every
grower and member of this association
is planting more or less of the best
varieties of berries grown in the
country.
The annual election of officers fol-
lowed resulting in the reelection of
the following officers: Chas. Briere,
president, Grand Rapids; W. H.
Fitch, secretary, Cranmoor; M.
Potter, treasurer, Grand Rapids.
There were large number of
members present from outside of
Grand Rapids. The following is list
of the members present: J. NJ. Wait,
Embarrass; H. II. Gebhardt, Black
River Falls; F. Gebhardt, Warren;
NJ. II. Lynn, Nekoosa; Ed Kruger
S. N. Whittlesey, w. H. Fitch, D..
Rein, Cranmoor: J. P. Arpin. j. J..

Chas. Briere, James Gaynor, Judge
John A. Gaynor, Andrew Bissig, r. F.
Mcfarland, Grand Rapids; Chas. P.
Baker, Shennington and Chris Nelson,
City Point.
The association is in very prosper
Gus condition. 1t has a membership
| numbering 120. While the crop was
short of the average last year. growers
| received remunerative price for
their berries. The prospect for next
seasons crop in this locality is very
good, the marshes being full of water
which gives the vines protection
against winter killing. The cranberry
| industry is one of the best in ~the
county. 1t gives employment during
the harvest season to thousands of
| people. The cranberrieS of Wisconsin
are noted as among the best keeping
| varieties on the market and several
marshes are now growing fancy
| varieties.
