MARVELS OF FRUIT BREEDING.
How Orchard and Gin rden Hybrids Are
Created-WOrk That Requires
Plenty of Patience.

"The method of crossing two fruits"
rs described by Mr.. Marcus Woodward
In Pearson's, lis simplicity itself. The
horticulturist merely takes the pollen
from the flower of one specimen and
dusts 1t into the stigma of the flower
Of another specimen, The result Is
hybrid, for better or for worse.
"Of course the experiment is not
made quite at haphazard without a
certain knowledge Of Natures mystic
rious ways and laws of production
There Is a story Of a man who thought
he would produce some marvellous new
fruit or flower, he dared not think
which, by collecting the pollen OF his
garden flowers, and busting it upon the
flowers of his apple tree! But there Is
limit even to fruit-breeding. Five
years-possibly ten years-must pass
before there can be any certainty. Then
one spring, at last the seedlings them
selves bear fruit.
1.-THE fruit slowly ripens, and Is
brought to judgment. There Is an ex-
citing moment when 1t Is tasted. Many
points are taken into consideration.
Is the flavor good? Is the fruit good
color? Does the flesh separate freely
from the stone? Is 1t as juicy as II
should be?
"A great work OF selection now be-
gins. Only the finest are allowed to
survive"

1.-The groom is the eldest son of Mr..
and Mrs. Patrick Collins, and this
city has always been his home. After
finishing school here he held various
positions of trust, including that of
engroSSing clerk in the Wisconsin
assembly during the 1891 session, clerk
of the senate judiciary committee in
1898, and member of the board of
education for two years. In 1895 he
graduated from the state university,
and two years ago was member of
the Wood county tax commission, In
the fall of 1900 Mr.. Collins was elected
as member of the assembly from the
first district of this county, and proved
an excellent, influential member of
that body. When the state bank was
opened here in June Of last year he
became its cashier. He is a good
business man, wide awake and atten-
tive. and will no doubt continue to
make success of life.''

Caught in the Webb"

Mr.. Joseph LIE Brandt's great four
act drama Caught in the Webb will
be seen for the first time at the grand,
Friday evening, Oct 16
The play is said to be a happy COM
bination of pathos and humor. The
comedy element is introduced in a
natural manner to brighten the dark,
seamy side of life as it is lived in New
York-that beehive of huStling, bust
ling humanity-all intent upon the
pursuit Of dark, narrow alleys of vice
and crime. Each side is shown in
this magnificent play, and great
moral lesson is taught. Both the play
and company have met with the most
pronounced success everywhere The
lavish manner in which the piece is
presented, the superb company, the
five gorgeous sets of scenery and the
magnificent costumes have been the
talk of every city in which Caught
in the Webb has been seen. Seats
on sale Wednesday.

Rev. Hahn Died at Madison.

The many friends of Rev. Geo. G..
Hahn in this city will be grieved to
learn of his death. Only two
weeks before he assisted in the
organizing of two churches in Taylor
county. By reason of overwork and the
exposures of the trip, being obliged to
descend the Jump river on a raft for
20 miles, all roads having become i'm
paSSable by reason of the heavy rains,
he was attacked with what was at
first thought to be infamatory rheu-
matism but proved to be tuberculosis
resulting in clot of blood going to
his lungs which terminated his life
He was confined to his room for eight
days suffering intense pain but at
length passed into Inconsistencies.

DESIRE TO FUR
NISH POWER
Proposition by Consolidated
Water E Power Company to
Electric Company.
$50 PER HORSE POWER
UP TO 400 HORSE POWER
Will Be Considered at Next
Meeting OF the Board of
Directors.

The Consolidated Water & Paper
company submitted proposition to
furnish power to the Electric & Water
company last week. The directors
met Saturday evening but as there
was no quorum the proposition could
not be considered. The proposition
reads as follows:
To the officers and directors of the
Electric & Water Co.. Grand Rapids,
Wisconsin.
GENTLEMEN:-In accordance with
request of MeSSrs. Gaynor, Schnable
and Wipperman, we herewith make
you proposition to supply you with
Electric Power
We propose to install Power plant
complete in all it's details and place in
it suitable transformers for stopping
the current up from the voltage at
which it is generated to a voltage of
220O which is suitable for your needs.
A complete switchboard will be in
stalled giving you two 3-phase 2200-
volt power circuits, one for each side
of the river and six single phase 2200-
volt lighting circuits with voltage
regulating devices in each individual,
circuit.
We further propose to build line
from our Power House across the river
to the main business street near the
Witter House, and another line from
our Power House west to Main street.
At both points your lines may be
connected at a very small expense.
We will furnish under a two years
contract the entire power required up
to 400 horse power at thirty dollars
$4,000 per horse power per year, based
upon the maximum demand. you
being entitled to power twenty-four
hours per day. Any power used in
excess of 400 horse power we will
furnish at twenty-five dollars ($25.0O)
per horse power per year.
In case the daily average horse
power for any month should be less
than fifty per cent. of the maximum
demand, discount of ten per cent.
Will be allowed.
The maximum demand will be
determined by Indicating Watt-M eterS
connected at the 440-volt terminals of
the transformers located in our Power
House. Recording Watt-Meters will
be connected in like manner, from
which the total and average power
used will be computed.
Complete records will be kept and
submitted to you on the first of each
month, when settlements will be
made.
AS second proposition, we will
furnish under two years contract 200
horse power, twentyfour hours per
day, at thirty dollars (S3O.00) per
horse power per year and will sell you
the necessary peak current required
in excess of 200 horse power at the
rate OF two cents per kilowatt hour,
measurements to be made as in the
first proposition.
We make these propositions both on
condition that we furnish you all the
electric power required for your light
ing and power system.
Yours truly,
CONSOLIDATED WATER POWER &
PAPER Co.,
