NEW SCHOOL DEATH
KNELL TO RIVALRY

The Milwaukee Sentinel had a good
writeup of the new Lincoln high
school last Sunday. The article was
illustrated with cuts of Supt. H. S.
Youker, the high school building and
assembly room. Part of the article is
as follows:
GRAND RAPIDS, Wis, Sept. 5.-The
high school pupils of the west side,
formerly Centralia, and the east side,
Grand Rapids proper, will meet
together for the first time as pupils OF
the Greater Grand Rapids high school
next Monday morning, Sept. I. Since
the consolidation of the two cities
three years ago the school board has
maintained two high schools, but the
erection of the $4,000 Lincoln build
ing Las made it possible to more
closely unite the educational interests
of the city.
''There was time when the rival y
between the two cities was intense.
and this has not been altogether want
ing, even at the present time. The
consolidating of the two cities did
away with some of the jealousy. The
death knell of petty feelings will be
sounded on Monday, for the educa-
tional barriers between the two sides
of the river will then be entirely
obliterated.''

SOME GOOD ADVICE
ON POTATO QUESTION

Ben. Hanson, of E. N. Copps & Co.,
began buying potatoes this morning
at 40 cents per bushel. He has just
returned from a trip through the
county and reports a fair crop Of po-
tatoes in the sandy and rolling dis
tricts. "a large number Of bushes
will be rotted where the soil is fiat
and low," said Mr.. Hanson. "There
is some advice that may be Of value
to farmers; they should first of all not
dig their potatoes when the soil is
wet; the potatoes should be brought
to market in crates; the practice OF
bringing potatoes to market in sacks
should be abolished. The potatoes
will thus be more presentable and
bring a better price"

BART GAFFNEY FINDS
FORTUNE In SUNKEN LOGS

When the Arpin company finished
saving at Arpin, Bart Gaffney pur-
chased the logs which had sunk to the
bottom of the pond for a consideration
Of $50. 1t was all guesswork as to the
number that might be found and he
did not learn until recently how much
he would lose or win by the specula-
tion. When the water was drained
off and the logs scaled he was elated
to find that he was in possession Of
10000 feet of logs, some of which were
pine, now very valuable. A portable
saw mill will be used to convert them
into lumber. The Arpins erected the
mill there fifteen years ago and each
season since sawed from twelve to
fourteen million feet. At intervals a
water-soaked log would sink to the
bottom OF the pond, forming the large
accumulation found by Mr.. Gaffney.
Sunken pine logs are also being re-
covered in large numbers from the
Wisconsin river. A concern has a
crew of men graphing for logs from
the river bottom between Stevens
Point and Wausau.

HANDS In HIS
RESIGNATION
Manager Starks to Leave the
City at Close of This
Month.
GIVEN GOOD SERVICE TO
COMPANY AND PATRONS
Interesting Poem Contributed
by Manager Starks to
the Reporter

The following communication was
received yesterday by A. L. Fontaine,
president of the Wood County Tele-
phone company:
GRAND RAPIDS, Wis. Sept I, 1908.
Mr.. A. L. FONTAINE,
President, Wood County Telephone Co.
DEAR SIR:-I hereby tender my
resignation as manager of this COM
pany. To take effect Wednesday, Sept.
80, 1908, or, as much sooner as the
Board OF Directors find it convenient.
Very truly yours,
e. G. STARKs.
The patrons of the telephone COM
pany and the citizens in general will
be sorry to hear of Mr.. Stark's decision
to leave the city. Mr.. Starks has
done much in improving the system
since he came here and it will be
difficult for the company to find
man who will fill the Office as we'll as
be has done during the time
he has been here. The REPORTER
wishes Mr.. Starks continued success
in the new work he intends to take
up after September 80.
A representative of the REPORTER
has known for long time that Mana
ger Starks could write "real good poe
try" After great deal of pursuation
he was induced to write a telephone
poem for the REPORTER. 1t is as
follows:
The Managers Dream.
The Manager sat In his Office chair,
The light streaming over his thinning hair,
And over pile of letters white,
That rise on his desk to startling height,
He wearily wades each missive through
A few from dealers with something new,'
Some from subscribers who "cannol see''
Why their service is not what 1t ought to be.
Wearied and worn. he heaves 4 sigh,
AS he tosses the last OF the letters by.
And produces a paper with queer designs,
Entirely composed of zig gag lines.
Said he. "I'll plan this before Sleep
But he felt drowsiness Ger him Creep
His head falls forward upon his breast,
As he falls asleep and dreams the rest.
As the Indian warrior dreams of place,
Where his horse and dog join the feast and chase,
So the manager dreams of happy land
Prepared for him and his faithful band.
He dreams that to him the right is given
To extend a system all over Heaven,
And he looks at the poles, so straight and TALL
Each made from marble that cannot tall.
And the.wires, so glorious to behold,
Are each strand OF glistening gold,
While the insulators all glitter bright
Each one as brilliant as an electric light
But the Central Office he loves the best,
For the girls are there like angels dressed,
And in tones that never were heard here below
Their seraph voices respond, "hello."
His office chair has become throne,
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1903-09-08

you ever see such large roll Of bills?
| have been in Canada while was
away and may buy home there if
my wife desires to go. l just bought
a house across the river for 5000 last
week. I'll use some of this money
against the parties who told lies
about me. 1 must now go and see the
editor across in the Tribune office.
for the REPORTER? Good
paper you say? Yes, I like to read.
Sure I'll subscribe, and don't you
forget it. Yes, give me few copies.
l am too mad to read now. You see
l am after the editor across the river"
Thus the few hairs on the RE-
PORTER editors scalp were left and a
Subscriber was added to the list"

THOUGHT THE STEER
WAS A WILD CHICKEN
Joseph Youston Objects and Is Now Look.
ing for the Hunters.

Joseph Yousten mourns the loss of
two-year-old steer, which he claims
was shot by chicken hunters OF mis-
farm in the town of Port Edwards.
He now offers liberal reward for the
arrest of the parties who could not
see the distinction between steer
and common prairie chicken. In
deed, Mr.. Yousten is amply justified
in making the announcement that
''no hunting will be hereafter per-
mitted on my premises located in
Sections 13 and "a, T. 2I, e. a, Town
of Port Edwards, Wood county,"
Another case which, perhaps, is not
so shortsighted is the one of tame chic
ken shooting on E. A. Rector's farm,
near the Forest Hill cemetery.
1t is good policy for amateur hunt
ers to hereafter leave tame fouls and
steers in peace.

FARMERS CAUTIONED
AGAINST NEW GRAFT

Farmers should beware of new
scheme that it is said is now being
worked by some smooth men with
great success in different parts of the
state. They claim to represent a
"non-freezing" stock tank agency and
those who have been unfortunate
enough to get taken in have found
the patent tanks rather expensive
propositions. 1t is worked this way:
A man appears, who has a patent
non-freezing tank for sale. If the
farmer makes the mistake of listening
to the slippery agent. and buys one Of
the tanks, he is given the exclusive
agency for several townships for their
sale, and that too, without extra
charge. The simple request is made.
however, that he sign three papers.
The farmers sign, and the papers in
few days turn into notes.

HE HAD BLOOD
in HIS EYE
Charles Mueller Thought Some=
thing Contrary to Fact Had
Been Published,
HE DECIDES TO SUB
SCRIBE FOR REPORTER
Wanted 1t Understood That He
Had Divided His Money
With His Wife.

Charles Mueller came to the RE
PORTER Office Saturday afternoon with
blood in his eye. He had heard it
said that the REPORTER had published
something mean about him. He
wanted to ayenge himself upon some
thing quick and therefore desired to
commence with the REPORTER editor.
Mueller sold bis farm sometime ago
and divided the proceeds with his
wife. He then left town suddenly
and no one knew of his whereabouts.
Some alleged foul play, others that he
had deserted his wife. The majority
who knew Mueller intimately believed
the latter.
Now Mueller turns up and is very
angry too. Like "big Indian me"
he stalked into the REPORTER Office.
"Say, | want you to take back every
word you said about me, he exclaimed
dramatically. He also made gestures
sYou said l skipped town and l
didn't. You said l took all the money
and | didn't. | want justice. Do
you hear? | want justice" +"
"a kind of liberty or death giving"
mused the editor.
That's it," replied Mueller with
emphasis. And | want you to publish
it,"
The article in question was read to
Mueller.
He listened attentiyely.
SIS that ALP he blurted out.
"DidD't you say that [ took all the
money!"
Receiving a negative answer,
Mueller continued: "That's not so
bad. You said all right enough that
| gave my wife half of the money, but
where did you learn about that / left
my wife and that l had illtreated her?
Tell me that, will you!"
Not receiving any satisfaction on
that point, Mueller mentioned the
name Of the person whom he sus-
pected and threatened all kinds of
dire consequences.
"i'll get him, and he will wish he
had never seen the REPORTER man.
You bet"
Then suddenly remembering his
greatest sorrow he announced: "Ill
bet that paper across the river put in
about my skipping and leaving my
wife penniless. And now l am going
over and you bet something will be
doing in that Office if they are guilty"
Look here" he calculated, tdid

SHOT DEAD In
CHICKEN COOP
I. j. Cooper Finds Disturber and
Uses Shot Gun With
Deadly Effect.
INTRUDER HAD DUG
HOLE UNDER THE COOP
Excitement That Mr.. and Mrs.
Cooper Will Always
Remember.

"Get up quick; there are burglars in
the chicken COOP" Thus was T. j.
Cooper saluted by his wife at $3.50
O'Clock yesterday morning.
After thirty minutes debate, Mr..
Cooper decided to look into the matter.
He armed himself with club and
went forth.
Sure enough. There was some one
in the chicken coop. Mr.. Cooper
could plainly hear a dreadful rattle.
The chicken coop door was wide open
and the feathery animals were hurry
ing back and forth in the yard. The
door of the chicken yard was locked,
however.
Cautiously Mr.. Cooper approached
the chicken coop. One chicken was
there, but nothing more as far as he
could see. Then Mr.. Cooper trudged
back to the house.
In a few minutes he was again
awakened by a nerve breaking sound
coming from the chicken coop. This
time MIR. Cooper seized a shot gun and
ran to the place Of disturbance. He
opened the chicken coop door, and lol
there was the lone chicken he had
left-lying bleeding on the floor, It's
head cut off.
It all seemed very mysterious.
Mr.. Cooper began thorough investi-
CATION. He soon found a half dozen
chickens lying dead about the floor,
but where was the life destroyer?
Mr.. Cooper waited.
Suddenly there was great stir in
one corner Of the chicken coop. A
head appeared. Mr.. Cooper raised the
shot gun to his shoulder-an explosion
and then cry! After the smoke had
cleared away, Mr.. Cooper found the
lifeless body OF large mink.

For the manager there is king of his own,
crown takes the place of Q frown below
A crown of gold aud a robe of snow,
The linemen enter in trappings bright
And report that the lines are always fright"
"Oh! joy" cries the manager, "say no more, -
While his letters fell from his desk to the floor.
Then he wakes with start. for his dream is

But telephone man. is game to the last,
And he says with a VIM that knows no
