CIRCUIT COURT IN SESSION.
A Busy Time at the Court House Man.
Divorce and Criminal Cases Of Interest,

Court opened for May term Mondar
with Judge James O'Neil Of Clarl
county as presiding officer.
The early hours Of the court was
taken up with divorce cases, some
seven unfortunate victims of unhappy
marriage being liberated from CALLING
bonds, of which we give the following ::
E. G. Day VS.. Myrtle Day, Lenora
Beandreauvs. Frank Beandreau, Lizzie
Bey VS.. Martin Bey, Mary Miller VS..
Julia Miller.
Tuesday was taken up with the
trial of the state VS.. Lewis Collier OF
Pittsville charged with assault with
intent to commit rape on the person
of Jennie Raath. The jury brought
in verdict of assault only, the max
imum penalty for which crime is
year in the penitentiary.
There was a motion in the case OF
Stubbins VS.. Curtis to correct an error
in the judgment against the defen-
dant, allowing the plaintiff $270 cost
in the case The error was made by
former Clerk of the Court VIM. White,
who neglected or overlooked taxing up
the costs in the case until the time
allowed by law had elapsed. The
motion was not granted. AS Mr..
White is not in town we were unable
to get his version of the matter, but
it looks as though he or his bondsmen
would have to make good the shortage
in the judgment.

GRAND RAPIDS AND WAUsAU MEET.
This City Wins the Meet by One Point in
Contest at Wausau Saturday,

Last Saturday the track team of our
High School went to Wausau for the
purpose of meeting a similar team
representing the latter school.
The day was altogether too cold and
windy for any record to be broken and
yet the contest was SO exciting that
every spectator remained in the
bleacherS until the last contest had
been decided in favor of Grand
Rapids: thus giving to the latter
school the meet by one point.
1t is needless to say that our bows
felt jubilant over the result and were
not backward in making their Joy
known by means of yellS and songs.
especially did they become hilarious
over their victory, when on their
homeward journey they learned that
they were accompanied by a newly
married couple.
Next Saturday the team will go to
Appleton where they will meet the
school of the northwestern part of the
state in an interScholastic meet under
the direction of Lawrence University.
If the boys take proper care of them
selves and train carefully they ought
to be near the top at the end of the
contest. Any one desiring to 60 to
Appleton on Saturday will get II fare
for round trip.
The following is list of the contes-
tants and a program OF the days
sport showing the first, second and
third best men in each event by
number. The Grand Rapids boys
were given even numbers and the
Wausau boys odd numbers. First
place counts 5, second place 3 and
third place point in the contest.

Doing at the Grana Rapids Lumber Co.'S Yards.

The Grand Rapids Lumber Co. is
enjoying busy season in trade with
fairly good prices. Most of the MAN.
moth lumber piles in the old yards
have disappeared during the past
three months, having been shipped to
retailers. But there are millions of
feet of all kinds of lumber in the new

New Orleans Letter.

L am going to let you know of some
of the many things of interest that
are transpiring in the city of New
Orleans at the present day. To many
these may be new and interesting as
most OF the people of central Wiscon-
sin are not accustomed to see or hear
of them.
am going to first tell you of the
street car system that has just been
perfected. 1t is applicable to the old
saying, "All roads lead to Rome. :"
All streets lead to Canal street and
there we find the street some 200 feet
wide filed with cars continually and
making pleasing sight TO the eye of
all spectators.
The streets are paved, not as in
many towns of the north, but with
stone that came originally from
Europe as ballast for ships that came
to this port. Many of the principle
streets are paved with asphalt and
brick. The brick are much more sub
Stantial than those that we use at
Grand Rapids or surrounding cities.
All side walks are of brick but not
red. These streets and walks had lain
for nearly 30 years and you could not
detect their decay without close
observation today.
Suppose we take a trolley ride and
enumerate the sights as they appear
We get aboard the Tulane belt on
ST. Charles Ave. and ride II miles
around what is called the belt and all
for one nickle.
First we see the splendid resident
part of the city: next the Tulane
university, then Tulane academy, then
on past the large lumber yards to
Athletic Park, then we start for Canal
street. On arriving at Canal street we
get off and take the Electric Railway
train and go to West End. On our way
we pass the most sacred and solemn
city of the honored dead This is a
most magnificent sight to behold with
it's tall columns and spires and unique
and quantity carved Inscriptions; yet
with all it's splendOr and surprising
grandeur there comes a most divine
and solemn thought. ''How frail is
| life and how uncertain" ''All glory
leads but to the grave"
JOurneying on we pass through
| forests with hanging vines and moss
and underneath all this is a luxurious
growth Of palms. 1t has the appear
ance of a torrid jungle only that the
wild animals, the bright colored
plummage of birds and their sweet
songs are absent. At last we have
reached the city Of West End on the
border of Lake POntchartrain and we
gaze upon the emeral blue with lost
feeling of other days. I'll next
describe the Scenic Railway and other
things of interest to my readers.
Respectfully,
A. w. SWEAT.

On the Road to kekoosa.

Where the Northwestern grade
crosses French street on the Lyons
estate the grade is six feet higher
than the road or street, and the
street committee of the city council
met Engineer Terrence at the cross
ing Friday to decide the question of
running the wagon road over or under
the railroad After considering the
matter in all its bearings it was
decided to bring the wagon road and
railroad to the same grade. This
work will be done by the railroad, but
the city will so improve the balance
of this strip of road that it will never
again be quagmire in the spring as
it was this spring.

A Worthy Scheme.

A laudible enterprise is afoot, con-
templating Improvements along the
banks of the river on the east side
north of the bridge. The plan is to
build stone wall from theGnorth side
of the east pier to Herschleb's bakery,
similar to the river wall opposite the
City Hall. This would enable the
property-holder to build permanent
business houses of brick and stone to
take the place of the wooden shacks
now located along the street. The
river front referred TO is a long ways
from the main channel and filled with
all sorts of rubbish, decaying vege-
tables, ETC., on account of the stagnant
water there and from sanitary point
of view the improvement would war
rant the expense incurred. The city
could do the work and tax the costs
in whole or in part to the property
holders, who we understand would
gladly stand their share of expense.
The proposed improvement would
become a reality if the property
holders there will ''push it along" a
little.

A. L. FONTAINE, ESQ.
Dear Sir:-InyOur issues of 18th ult.
and End inst. appears two letters from
Alberta one by Phillip Trudell, and
the other by quartette of truth
tWiSters." | should have replied to
the first one, were it not that MesSrS.
RayOme and Marcean wished to do so
themselves. AS they have already
made it plain that Trudell's letter is
nothing more than pack of lies, it is
needless for me to make much further
comment on it, more than to say,
that [ defy him or any one else to
prove that | did not do as agreed to-.
Strange to say that it is only from
such good for nothing men, single at
that, with no one but themselves to
look out for, that complaints come.
Men who went in the same party
with large families, such as MeSSrS. J.
Fontaine, Sr., j. FOntaine, Jr., Cliff.
Gaucher, Dell. Gaucher and Israel
Lepine are all well satisfied, and
would not think of returning. On
their arrival there these men set to
work to look up locations for them
selves. They had gone there with an
honest intention of making home
for themselves, and not as the writer's
of both these lying articles did, sit
around on hotel steps and listen to
yarns, told by others of their ilk, who,
seeing that these croakerS were look
ing for trouble and disappointment,
thought they would guy them as much
as possible. Twas thus they gained
from 'old-timers' the valuable
experience they were SO ready to rush
into print.
A liar should have a good memory.
I would remind this quartette.
especially the II" of that combination,
that they were all four at the station
at WetaSkiwin on the morning of the
18th ult. when Messrs. Rayome, Mar
ceau and myself left, and that up to
that time neither Trudell, MarcouX or
Golen, had left the limits of that
town. AS their letter is dated the
18th ult. how in the name of truth
could they know what the surround
ing country is like unless Trudell
impaired his dreams of mountains,
hills and valleys to them. The pro-
prietors of that famous liquid
.'Segrams Sealed" will surely receive
advertisement enough. when it is
known that it can produce such
wonderful effects, and stretches of
imagination. Who will take the
statements Of this helpless quartette,
for facts. when instead Of acting like
men and going out to see for them
selves what the country was really
like, preferred to hang around, and
listen to others, who. through their
own fault never make a success, go
where they will. Mr. Editor I donot
