HOOK GOES
THRO' HAND
Mrs. AL. Kroner Received Seri-
Gus Injuries Sunday
Night.
CLIMBED LADDER WHICH
BROKE OR SLIPPED
Reached Out to Catch Large
Hook Set in the
Wall.

Mrs. al. Kroner received serious
injuries Sunday night, which all but
destroyed her hand. Mr.. and Mrs.
Kroner had been out during the even
ing, and returned home, found that
they had misplaced the door key and
were unable to obtain admittance.
Mrs. Kroner happened to think of a
ladder, by which she thought she
could ascend to window and find ad-
mittance in this way. While she was
on the ladder, it slipped or broke. In
trying to catch herself, Mrs. Kroner
involuntariIy reached out with her
right hand and caught large hook
which was set in the wall. The hook
went entirely through the hand, and
as the entire weight of her body came
upon it, it-tore it's way out between
the first and second fingers. The hook
ran under the tendons stripping them
to the end and tearing them loose
from the bone. For two hours and
half the doctors worked at the injured
hand, and were surprised at Mrs.
KromeT's fortitude, she asking the
doctors to take off the first finger, if
it was likely to be useless and stiff.
The physicians say that the hand will
be saved, and that the fingers will
ultimately regain their usefulness. =

BIG TRAFFIC
OVER BRIDGE
I. j. Cooper Estimates Foot
Passengers and Teams for
Twelve Hours
ONLY ONE BRIDGE In
MILWAUKEE, BEATS IT
Says Contractor BrickleS Who
Has Charge of the Bridge
Construction.

Justice Z. j. Cooper counted the
teams crossing the wagon bridge Fri
day afternoon, between 2:45 and 3:15
O'Clock. He found that 1913 people
passed in thirty minutes, or 1902 in
twelve hours. During the thirty
minutes he was there fifty-six teams
passed, or ,344 teams in twelve hours.
Mr.. Cooper estimated that the number
OF persons who rode averaged two for
every team. This would make 2,6SS
persons in addition to the 1902 who
walked; together 1890, more than the
total population of the CITY, Officer
Gibson says that Mr.. Cooper selected
very quiet time to make his estimate
of the bridge traffic, and that the
,734 foot passengers and teams should
be greatly increased.
j. BrickleS, superintendent of the
bridge construction, says that there
is more travel on this bridge than any
other bridge in the state, with the
exception of the Grand avenue bridge
in Milwaukee.
Chief of Police Garihee says on this
subject: "Well, what can you expect?
No bridge between here and Necedah,
on The south, and no bridge between
here and Stevens Point, on the north
The people are bound to cross in great
numbers

PRAISES FOR THE
SEMI-WEEKLY REPORTER
STATES POSITION CLEARLY.

The publishing of the WOOD
COUNTY REPORTER as semi
weekly is move in the right
direction for the following reasons:
First, it gives the reader fresher
and more up-to-date news; second,
it enables the advertiser to come in
closer touch with the consumer;
third, it is most important to the
subscriber, as he gets the paper for
the same price.
The present business features of
Grand Rapids are good in my line.
The same can be said of the other
industries Of the city. The people
are demanding the best grade Of
merchandise; this points to tee
prosperous condition of the city.
I believe Grand Rapids has a
splendid future. Few cities have
the natural advantages of which
Grand Rapids can boast. 1t could
be made one of the best merchan-
tile cities in the state by little
effort Of cooperation on the part
of the merchants. Cheap weekly
buyers excursions TO Grand Rapids
from surrounding towns, tributary
to this city. could be obtained; also
improved road facilities would
afford a better market. 1t should
be the aim of the merchants to
increase the merchantile business
as far as possible and thus make
this city merchantile center for
the surrounding country. The CO.
operation of merchants for the
improvement of their business is
no new idea: it is carried out by
the merchants of Oshkosh, Fond
du Lac and other cities.

MAN WHO MAKES THINGS
GO OUT In COLORADO
Paper Gives Account Of Alfred Brooks, the
Merchant

In a weekly paper, published at
Eldora Colorado, is found the follow
ing item OF interest to Alfred Brooks
many friend in NekooSa and Grand
Rapids: Alfred Brooks has purchased
and placed in his store the meat
market fixtures, ETC., formerly owned
by l.. B. Elliot. Mr.. Brooks has been
in business in Eldora a few months
but has very large trade and con-
stantly increasing one. His stock of
goods is not only large, but the quality
is excellent, and prices are as low as
is consistent with good business
methods and the wholesale market
will permit. Mr.. Brooks success is in
part due to the fact that he does not
let his stock run down. A we'll con-
Quoted store is splendid advertise
ment for any town and this one is
certainly among the best to be found
in any small mining camp in Colorado.

The need of free mail delivery is
daily felt. The consolidation of the
two post offices will bring free delivery
to Grand Rapids. The year ending
June 30, 1903, has proved the fact that
the two offices are doing enough busi-
ness to come within the $1,000 limit,
as required by law in order to be
granted free delivery privileges.
The total amount taken in at the
east side postoffice for the year. end
ing june 30, is Sc, 731. 10, or an increase
OF S1.505.15 over last year. The west
side office during the same period took
in S3,777.S5, or an increase of S415. so
over last year. The total amount
taken in to the two Offices is therefore
$40, 0,50S.95, or S50S.95 more than is
necessary to become a second class
office. Last year the total amount
taken in by the two offices was So, 5SS. 80
which was S1.411. 10 short of the desired
ten thousand
The rapid growth of Grand Rapids,
especially during the past year, is we'll
shown by the post Office receipts. An
increase of SI,920.65 in one year
certainly is a showing that very few
cities of this size can boast of.
There is reason to believe that
Congressman Brown will favor the
consolidation of the two offices and
give the citizens free delivery facili-
ties. Several free delivery routes
may also be established in the near
future.
Following is the tabuIated state
ments of the receipts of the two
offices during the past two years:

PERHAPS A
FATAL INJURY
Mrs. James Canning Injured by
the Discharge Of a
Shot Gun.
FLESH OF THE CALF OF
HER LEG TORN AWAY
Dress Caught the Trigger OF the
Gun Held by Her Son,
Walter Canning.

Mrs. James Canning was seriously
injured Sunday noon by the accidental
discharge Of shot gun, at her home
near the Green Bay depot. The charge
struck the calf of her leg and tore
away almost all the flesh, thus ex-
posing the two bones. DR.. Ridgman,
assisted by Dr. Rockwell, dressed the
wounds and Mrs. Canning is now doing
circumstances.
Mrs. Canning had to be put under
the influence of chloroform before the
operation was begun. Fragments of
the dress were found lodged in the
flesh and this necessarily made the
operation more painful.
The main artery was not injured.
As many Of the cords and tendonS
were torn, it is probable that Mrs.
CanDing's ankle will be crippled for
life. Or. Ridgman thinks that skin
grating may have to be reSorted to.
in order TO aid in healing the
wound.
Some time ago Walter Canning.
son, borrowed shot gun from Henry
Alpine. He had placed it in the
kitchen over Sunday. When Mrs.
Canning saw the gun she asked Walter
to take it away. This he started to
do, but seeing some rust on the barrel
he asked for towel to polish it with.
Mrs. Canning thought a rag would
better serve the purpose, and went to
look for one. La passing her son,
some part of her dress must have
caught hold OF the trigger and thus
discharged the gun with the above
result.
LATER-Mrs. Canning spent very
restless night. She is unconscious, as
we go to press. and the outlook
for recovery is doubtful

EXHIBIT AT
MILWAUKEE,
Martin Jackson WORKING Up
Interest for the Annual
Fair.
TO COOPERATE WITH
THE MARSHFIELD FAIR
Best Exhibits from Marshfieii
to Be Sent to Milwau-
kee.

Martin Jackson, chairman of the
county committee on agriculture, was
in the city Saturday in the interest of
the Wood county agricultural exhibit
at the state fair, which will be held at
Milwaukee next month. Mr.. Jackson
believes that the county will make a
good showing this year if all the
farmers will cooperate with the
committee. He intends to send
letters to the chairmen of the diff
ferent towns, asking them to work up
an interest in this matter and gather
up all produce which will do honor to
the county at the state fair.
The county board appropriated $3.50
for Wood county'S exhibit and this
money will be used where it will
bring the best returns.
Mr.. Jackson is cooperating with the
officials of the MarShfield fair, which
will be held August 24-27. He intends
to select the best exhibits at this
fair and send them to Milwaukee. A
letter to Mr.. Jackson from the Marsh
field association reads as follows:
MARsHFIELD. Wis, July 20, 1903.
MARTIN JACKSON,
Grand Rapids, Wis.
DEAR SIR:-Our association has
seen tit to make you one of it's vice
presidents together with the members
of the county board. 1t is our desire
to have as large and as choice an
exhibit of all agricultural products as
it is possible to gather in Wood
county at our fair to be held on above
dates. In making you vice. president,
we trust that you will endeavor to do
all you can to forward the interests of
the Fair. 1t is understood and agreed
by members of your county board that
the choicest exhibits are to be taken
to the State Fair where Wood county
is to be represented. Our dates occur
ring two weeks before the state fair
gives ample I'll me to prepare and
select these products, SO in soliciting
products to be br ought to cur fair,
please have it understood with the
farmers that the products will be
left at the fair, or at least the most
choice ones. 1t occurred to us that in
this way we could gather together an
exhibit that could not be equalled in
any portion of our state Marathon
county will be hard competitor at
the state fair; hence, it behooves us
all to do our best to get the best pro-
ducts possible. Any further infor-
nation needed kindly address us and
we will most cheerfully grant it and
do all in our power here to forward
the cause. The county board should
select someone to go with these pro-
ducts to the state fair and represent
Wood county, as l understand an
appropriation of S150 has been made
but what farther has been done, / am
unable to say. Kindly give us your
aid, and otlige,
Most truly yours,

NO LICENSE
IS GRANTED
To Modern MaCCabees and Great
Hive Ladies, the Auxiliary
Order.
INITIATED NAMES OF
EXISTING SOCIETIES
The Local Lodges Of Knights and
Ladies of Maccabees Not
Concerned.

The report has been circulated in
this city that Insurance Commissioner
Host had refused to give authority to
the Knights and Ladies of the Macca-
bees to transact insurance business in
Wisconsin. This mistake arises from
the fact of the similarity in names of
two different organizations.
Mr. Host has refused the application
of the Modern Maccabees of Ann
Arbor for authority to transact busi-
ness in Wisconsin on the ground that
the order has no reserve fund within
the meaning of the Wisconsin law
relating to fraternal insurance
associations. The order has no con-
nection with the Knights of the
Maccabees, which organization has a
lodge in this city. The Knights Of
the MaccabeeS is one Of the strongest
of the.fraternal orders and has an in
vested fund in government and muni-
cipal bonds amounting to over
So, 100000.
Mr.. Host has also refused to grant a
Wisconsin license to the Great Hive
Ladies of the Modern Maccabees
because the society seeks to write
insurance in manner which the laws
of Wisconsin will not allow, and for
certain other reasons which have
never been set up by Wisconsin
insurance commissioner before. He
holds that the company, in name, is
an initiation of the Ladies Of the
MaccabeeS of the World. He also
bases his refusal on the ground that
the company does not maintain a
sufficient reserve to assure the holders
of policies against loss. His state
ment. refusing the license, is as fol-
lows:
"The society, under section Of its
laws, permits persons to become
members between 16 and 10 years Of
age. The statement of the society
December 81, 1902, shows that it has
ninety-fve beneficiary members 16
years of age and 205 beneficiary men,
hers II years of age. This the laws OF
Wisconsin will not permit.
1.-THE society by its laws and it's GER
tifcate of membership, obligates
itself to pay the certificates in semi
annual installments in the event of
the member reaching the age of 70
years. This is clearly making the
certificate an endowment inStallment
contract. Being a definite promise
for the payment of definite sum of
money at fixed period will require
for it's fulfillment the accumulation of
reserve on each policy sufficient to
pay those installments when due,
irrespective Of the assessments Of the
other members. Such necessary
reserve is not accumulated by the
society.
"AccOrding to its statement filed
with this department, the society had
eighty-eight such annuitants on De-
cember 81, 1902. The statement also
showed nearly one thousand 1000
members between 60 and 20 years of
age, who would, during the next nine
years, impose obligations for which no
provision has been made"
