are comparatively rare. NNt there exists
4 large class of cases of cruelty to ami
mals that arises from ignorance of the

an undcreStimation of the degree of sen
sibilty of the animal.
However, the object of the Humane
Society is the same III both cases, i. e.,
the prevention of cruelty. no matter what
form it takes, or what its origin. But the
remedy is different. In the one case, the
Society must rescue the animal and pun

of education must he Systematically fol-

Begin the campaign by organizing So
cieties wherever the soil promises growth
in the schools in the churches, and in
every city, town and village. Get the
young people thoroughly interested.
Raise funds and apply them TO the dis
semination of appropriate literature, to
the purchase of food, shelter and equip
ment, for the protection and amelioraton
of the condition of such animals as the
society must need care for. Petition the
State and National Legislatures for the
enactment of sautary laws to further the
good purpose.

One Nan is Killed and Two are Badly Injured al
Cranberry Street Crossing of the Mil
Wdukee St. Paul Road.
THE LONG FEARED FATAL ACCIDENT HAS HAPPENED

For a year or more back the WOOD
COUNTY REPORTER has called the city
authorities attention to the fact that
gates should be placed on Cranberry
street where the G. NJ. & st. Paul,
Chicago & Northwestern and Wiscon-
sin Central railroads cross said street
On the west side. The city officers
have done everything possible to get
these companies to establish gates.
Only one company, the Chicago &
Northwestern, put fiagrnan who has
done good service, while the other
companies have never paid any atten-
ton to the city's notice.
Wednesday evening a part of the
Grand Rapids Lumber Company's
crew that work in the planning mill
were riding towards home on one Of
the company's wagons. When they
reached the G. NJ. & St. Paul railroad
crossing freight train covered a large
part Of the crossing and hid from their
view an approaching freight car and
engine passing upon another track.
Some Of the men saw the approaching
car in time to jump while Hiram
Rous, John Margeson, Frank Laugh
lin and Albert ZemroW, were in the
wagon when it WAS struck by the car,

SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST MEETINGS.
Regular Preaching Services Afternoon and
Evening al the Fair Grounds.

The Seventh Day Adventist people
who just closed a very successful
camp-meeting on the Fair grounds IA
this city are evidently growing ia
numbers and some information about
the belief of these people may be of
interest. Fifty persons were admitted
to the church by baptism in the
Wisconsin river during the camp meet
ing, and in this ordinance these people
seek to follow what they believe to be
the Bible mode of baptism, namely
immersion. The entire Seventh Day
Adventist movement is of a reforma-
tory character. They believe their
mission is to reform the doctrines of
the church and the practiseS of the
people not by the aid of civil enact
mentS but by preaching the complete
gOSpel OF Jesus Christ.
The Seventh Day Adventist church
is the most virile branch and successor
of the great Advent movement of
184O-1644. While every other branch
OF AdventiSts has dwindled into in
significance the Seventh Day Adven-
lists have increased in numbers,
wealth and missionary operations.
until they have large number Of
COllegeS, SCHOOLS, perlOQlcaiS, SanlUar-
iums, slum missions and their mis-
| Slonarles are in almost every land.
The Seventh Day AdventiSts make
a speciality Of Bible studies and even
their enemies admit that in this all
important part of a Christian expert
| ence they are easily in the lead The
creed of the Seventh Day Adventists
| is THE Bible and the Bible only
and they strive earnestly to live out
| whatever is plainly commanded in
| the sacred scriptures.
They are grateful for the many
! cOurteSies which have been shown
them by the people of Grand Rapids
and the interest aroused has been
such, that party Of workers composed
of Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander Ritchie,
of Milwaukee, Claud AcMoody, and
| Misses Hattie GarlOch and Edith
Martin have been left behind to
continue the meetings in tent on
the Fair grounds. A public Bible
study is given every afternoon at p.
m. and a preaching service every
evening at 7:45. The public are
cordially invited to attend these
meetings.

passing over his head and badly
mutilating il: and the other three
landed outside of the track but were
badly injured. Albert Zemrow had
his right leg broken in two places and
back injured: Frank Laughlin received
internal injuries, while John Marge-
son was slightly bruised. The only
wonder is that the team and all the
men were not killed outright. Good
fortune favored them. 1t is generally
conceded that the railroad company
is wholly to blame.
W. II. Gets, justice of the peace,
summoned jury consisting of Messrs.
t. j. Cooper, S. L. Brooks, Joseph
Vincent, Nate Anderson, Chas.
Whittlesey and Sheridan Jesimer, who
repaired to the scene Of the accident.
The body was taken to Geo. W.
Bakers undertaking rooms and an
adjournment taken to Monday so the
railroad employees can be secured
as witnesses.
We sincerely hope that this accident
will prove to be the necessary stimu-
lous to move the several railroad
companies to put in the necessary
gates on these crossings. The loss to
the G.. NJ. & st. Paul Co. in this
accident will be far greater than the
necessary cost of gates at this crossing.

Wood County Puts Forth inducements For
Settlers.
From Milwaukee Journal.

From Milwaukee Journal.
When the lumberman went into the
woods he went single eyed. and still
no single purpose ever did so much
for state. He wanted pine only and
the soil, the streams, the weather. the
skies, the formations of the land were
all turned to the pines. He explored
the streams as means of transporta-
ton and brought them to the notice
of the outside world and showed their
great water power as he sent his giant
logs down them TO his mill: he cut
away the great forests and exposed
the trees and laid the sweet. rich
earth open TO the sun, and even the
brush that he left about to burn was
not an unmixed blessing, for the ashes
of his fires gave certain ingredients to
the soil that was good for it. But as
he went in winter, and even when
he or his cruisers went in summer, he
Gid not think of the soil. Now it is
different He has found that land
thrown away is worth retaining and
he is buying up the tax certificates as
fast as he can. Along the great
streams this is especially true, fOT
there they are finding that not only is
the soil Of great value but that the
power in the rushing waters is also OF
value. This probably is as true along
the Wisconsin at Grand Rapids as
anywhere, and the people of Wood
county and of the city whose name is
so characteristic of the rushing waters
is a living testimony of it. II. G.
Wipperman,o of Grand Rapids, says:
THE water power at Grand Rapids
is being developed greatly. Only
recently it was said by some great
engineer that some day the Wisconsin
river would furnish electrical energy
for the factories OF Milwaukee and |
believe it will. The owners of the
power at Grand Rapids are developing
it and they contemplate large paper
mill, large electric plant and other
uses of the 5000 horse power we have.
Then, too, the people of the country
are developing their sections. Settlers
are being attracted to the county and
farms, large and small, are being
opened and worked. The incoming
settlers are good class of people who
know what they have to do to develop
new country and they are doing it,
The soil is a fine sandy loan and
capable of growing good crops Grasses
and fodder crops grow especially we'll
and farmers are running to stock and
dairying. That is going to be a great
business and we will soon have the
water powers Or the electricity they
develop running cheese factories and
creameries and Wood county will be a
great dairy center"

No More GUESSING.

What an age of invention this is!
The time is not FAR distant to all
appearances when they will seat man
in front of some machine made to
examine mans brains and read all
the thoughts that he ever had as if it
were printed page. Hirzy, the Opti-
clan, now has an instrument almost
as wonderful. 1t is a combination Of
an OpthalmoscOpe and RetinoscOpe,
and is made for the purpose of making
q complete examination of the eye
and lifting lenses to spectacles to
curve or rectify all defects of vision.
Looking through this intrument the
whole inside of the eye including the
optic nerve and all the tiny nerves of
sight leading to it, are plainly visible
as if the eye lay open before you and
you were looking at it with micros-
cope. Every defect of the eye is
shown, and this does, away with all
guessing as to what your trouble may
be. Hirzy is a very skillful operator
and if your trOubleican be remedied
with glasses he is the man who can do
! it for you. If your trouble is such
that it needs medical treatment he
will tell you so. He does not guess
at it or humbug you, and it costs you
nothing to take the examination.

Quilt Schemes.

The merchants and business men
of Scottdale, Pa, have formed an
association against all fake advertiS-
ing. Hereafter they will place their
advertising money in the newspapers
published in the town. They have
unanimously Endorsed the newspaper
as being the best medium of adver-
tising and the only one that proves
satisfactory at all times.
The local merchants had become
disguised at the frequent instances
in which they were talked or virtu-
ally forced into advertising schemes
which turned out worthless.
Church programs and programs for
local entertainments are also under
the ban, as many Of the merchants
complain that with every entertain
ment given where there is an excuse
for publishing a program they are
solicited for an advertisement.
Some of the merchants asserted
that they have spent 800 to $500 a
year in schemes which are wholly
without any return as advertising
and which cut them down just that
much in their newspaper advertising,
