STEVENS POINT INTERESTED.
View With Alarm the Probable Extension Of
the Central From Grand Rapids.
Stevens Point Journal.


The editor of the Berlin Journal
recently made tour Of the villages
along the new Northwestern extern
In writing Of Wild Rose he said:
The way the tracks are laid out
indicates that the extension to Eland
junction or some northern point is
intended at some time in the future.
From the depot, which is about three
f0urthS Of a mile south of the village
on the Mt. Morris road, the tracks to
Almond and Grand Rapids turn to
the left, while the prospective
northern extension keeps on in
straight line to point opposite the
village, west. This spur is as we'll
built as the present main line, is laid
with 70-pound rails, has one bridge
and deep cut or two and shows
plainly that it was not built for side
track purposes but for an extension of
a main line to some northern point.
On this prospective extension are
located the yards, the warehouses,
ETC."
This main line will no doubt come
somewhere in the vicinity of Stevens
Point and it will behOOve the business
men and real estate owners here to
watch out and see that the road does
not pass this city by, now that it is
known that the Wisconsin Central
has actually commenced the surveys
preliminary to the shortening of it's
main line between Chicago and st.
Paul by a new Grand Rapids-Wau-
kesha extension, thereby putting
Stevens Point on a mere secondary
line. Every effort should be made to
improve this city,S connection with
the big cities. There is every reason
to believe that if the business men of
Berlin, Stevens Point, Wausau and
Merrill would unite in making a
favorable business proposition to the
management of the Milwaukee road.
the long talked of Berlin-Knowlton
extension could be secured to the
great mutual advantage Of all the
important cities named and other
points on the proposed route. The
Milwaukee road will probably have no
further hesitation about invading
Wisconsin Central territory since the
latter road has extended it's line into
Grand Rapids.
The Northwestern extension men,
toned above would also be a great
advantage to this city if it could be
secured, as was talked by Mr. Pennifl
two years ago, but it would not
possess all the excellent qualities of
the Milwaukee extension.

Need Protection From Fire.

Comments on recent fire at Pitts
vile in the Pilot of that place, ver-
Datim ct literatim:
Had there been any show to have
got water and to have given the alarm
in time. the fire could have been put
out. We rust this will be some lesson
to those interested. If we had had a
good wind from the West, South or
North, the loss would have put in
water system galore.
We wish some hard head could
point out the private corporation
with an assessed valuation of S143OOO
and absolutely not well on the place
that a man with S. pump, can not
pump dry in minuts. The engine
was got out. Only or men helping
and 2 men pulling the hose cart out.
When they got the engine down on
river, and hoie cut, they found engine
broke down. Such is the life of bum
Volunteer Fire Companies.
When we buy groceries,, dry goods
or lumber, we pay for it. You expect
men to get out and hustle to protect
your property for glory"

Edward Owings Towne's Charming
Picture Comedy.

The coming of Edward Owing
Towne's Picture Comedy TOO Rich To
Marry to Our city promises to be event
full not only because Of the appearance
of the notable dra1natist in his own pro
duction, but because of the marvellous
moving pictures which make up q part
of the entertainment which he presents.
Europe and America have been searched
for the best product OF tie makers Of
these wonderful moving pictures, which,
since Edison S remarkable discovery and
invention, have never ceased to be the
delight, wonder and marvel Of the age.
We are assured that no pains or
expense has been spared to secure the
very best that brains and taste could Sc

The result is that the pictures nightly

StoutIy Endorses Judge Webb,
From Waupaca Post.


This spring the voters of the
Seventh judicial circuit, comprising
the counties of Waupaca, Portage,
Wood, WauShara and Adams, will
again be called upon to elect circuit
judge, and the Post is pleased to state
that thus far no candidate has ap-
peared, other than the present
incumbent, Hon. Charles M. Webb.
OF the few wise laws passed by
Wisconsin legislatures, that placing
the election of judges in the spring of
the year, thus keeping the judiciary
out of politics, is one of the very best.
1t has had the tendency to keep able
men upon the bench, for they know
that their ability and not their
political pull, will be taken in con-
Sideration by the people. 1t leaves
them free and unfettered, able to
decide upon the matters brought
before them with out fear or favor.
Without wishing to diSparage any
other judge, it is safe to say that Judge
Webb stands more closely to the people
than any other man i q a like position
In the state, and his record, during
the many years he has been upon the
bench is one of which any man may
Justly be.prOud. Of mature years he has
brought to bear in his work, the pro-
fOundnesS and legal wisdom which
his long experience as lawyer and a
judge have brought him; he is able,
fearless and eminently fair. and his
reelection will be for the best interest
of all the people in this circuit.
Judge Webb is one of the men
whom the people of the state should
delight to honor, because in honoring
him they are honoring themselves:
that he will have no opposition speaks
well for him and we'll Tor the people
who have honored him in the past.

"A Poor Relation" Comma,

1t is marvellous stage creation that
can keep an audience of play-goers on
the verge of tears for two hours and
preserve them from weeping simply by
making them laugh. Such is the
character Of Noah Vale in Sol Smith
Russell's charming play "a Poor
Relation" which comes to the Opera
House next Friday night. 1t is. es-
sentially rule that appeals to the
sympathies at times deeply: and being
delineated with such exquisite finish
by a comedian whose methods are
peculiarly adapted to the character
it is no wonder that the play that
forms its setting has become a house
hold word for all that is clean and
wholesome on the American stage.

Sol Smith Russell's Great Play.

The advance sale of seats for "a
Poor Relation" Sol Smith Russell's
famous play, which will be presented
at the Opera House next Friday,
promises to be unusally large, but this
is generally the case wherever the play
is seen. A very strong cast has been
secured by Manager Fred G.. Berger,
in fact. with the exception of
Frederick Summerfeid, who among
all the actors i'll America was chosen
to succeed Mr. RusSell's parts, it is the
same company that supported the
eminent comedian himself, until his
necessary retirement for a needed rest
and the play will be mounted with the
same scenery and stage settings used
by Mr.. Russell. There is an indefnable
touch of human kindness in "a Poor
Relation. 1t appeals to the simplest
and best emotions. Its dialogue is
always good, crisp and fresh. 1t over
flows with humOr and pathoS, that act
as shadows bringing out in high light
the irresistible comedy that permeates
the whole play. A rich treat is in
store for theatre-goers on Friday
evening next,
