Of a new made grave. The GENE

OF new made grave. The ceme-
terry attendant made inquiry as to
whose remains were buried there,
and on research found that. no one
had received permission to deposit
any remains The village officials
were notified and secret counsel
was held for the purpose ofinvesti-
CATION. 1t was finally decided to
exIume the remains and learn
whose remains had been deposited
there without authority. The
officials repaired to the place and
watched the progress of the work
expecting great revelation to occur.
They were greatly disappointed,
for nothing was revealed except a
great big hole that had been dug.
The mystery was solved and Land
lord Herrick can tell you all about
it. Ask him.
The village of Nekoosa never
witnessed a more interesting and
exciting game of base ball than the
one that was played here Sunday
afternoon between the local mines,
known as "Papermakers' and
"Sulphite" clubs. The game was
holly contested throughout and at
the close of the eighth inning the
score was tie, each nine having
| 5 scores to their credit. A couple
of wild throws in the ninth inning
lost the game for the Papermakers
as we'll as the purse of $50 and the
gate receipts which amounted to
nearly $50 more. The final score
stood 5 to s in favor of the Sui
phite nine. Their happiness was
SO full that that the same evening
they hired the local band and
paraded the streets of Nekoosa,
carrying banners and having a
royal good time. For the first
time since the local band was
organized they took this oppor-
tunity to serenade Andrew Zurfuh,
manager of the Papermakers club,
at his business place that evening.
He appreciated it and is thankful
for the remembrance.

can think how warm those F. L.

the score stood Is to 6 in favor of
the Port Edwards boys. Although
defeated we must say we admired

depended on him alone, but in spite
of their hard work they were COM
PEELED to submit to the superior

THE legislative conventions that are
controlled by men who are just Repub-
licanS appear to think that senator
Spooner will stand squarelv on the
Madison platform, and support it's
principles and the ticket, for they are
all lnstructing the candidates nomi-
mated that they are to vote for the
senator's reelection. There has been
no opposition to Spooner. There is no
opposition to SpOOncr now. There is
a class of men and newspapers who
are trying to make it appear that
there is opposition to him; who even
appear to be trying to create opposi-
tion to him. But there is no man in
the state who supports the state ticket
and the Republican platform who is
opposing Senator Spooner. There has
not been a candidate proposed for the
Legislature who is not u "SpoOner'
man.-MilwaukCe Free Press.

The statement made by a number
teachers unanimously condemn the
action of the Republican convention
in not renominating Supt. Harvey
is incorrect and misleading. A large
majority of the teachers do not con-
denim Supt. Harvey, as an educator,
but as a professional politician and
friend of the American Book COM
pany trust. Prof. G. P. Cary is well
known among the teachers of the
state and his election will be hailed
as crushing blow to the book trust
which has dominated schools Of the
state.

THERE is no disposition among the
Republicans Of Wood county to do
anything else but re-nominate all the
present county officers who were
elected on the Republican ticket two
years ago. A more efficient and oblig-
ing set of county officers cannot be
found in any county. The persistent
rumor that County Clerk E. S. Renne,
because he was stalwart during the
last campaign, will not be re-nomi-
mated is false and without foundation.

THE Cooley & EmmonS paper again
takes occasion in the last issue to
make dirty and dishonest fling at
Mr.. Falch, candidate for the nominal
tion of superintendent of schools on
the Republican ticket 1t charges
that Mr.. Falch wants the office that
he may make it an adjunct and
an ally to the REPORTER Office. No
one can approve of the papers course
in seeking TO overthrow honesty and
sincerity Of purpose. The REPORTER
has not and will not ask any favors
from Mr.. Falch. We have merely
sought to show that Mr.. Falch's edu-
cational qualifications and practical
experience as a teacher fully fits him
for ne office of county superintendent.
The Marshfield Times and the Yellow
River Pilot have shown Mr.. Falch
this same spirit Of fairness. If nomi-
mated and elected we feel sure that he
will faithfully serve all the people of
the county and will show no favoritism
to any newspaper.

AT last we have found an excuse for
the existence of the bachelor. The
latest census reports state that there
are 6,726,779 bachelors and 4, 1876, 446
old maids in the United States. Thus
there are 2,53l, 1913 bachelors who can
not secure wives. In Wyoming we
fail to find any old maids, there being
ten times as many men as women. In
our own state there are Isl, 1913 bache-
Tors TO l02,3O6 spinsters. Now, how
are we TO solve this difficult problem?
How are these poor 2,53I 1873 bachelors
going to secure their eternal connubial
bliss and happiness? Horace Greeleys
advice, Go west, young man." cannot
apply here. We are told that the
eastern states and Europe are over
stocked with maidens who are willing
to reform men and make them happy.
Therefore, our conclusion iS-Go cast.
young man, get married and thereby
earn your just praise by thus helping
