In RIVER AT BIRON

Two employees of the Grand
Rapids Pulp & Paper Company at
Biron. discovered dead body floating
in The river, while they were on a
boom clearing away floOd-trash Satur-
day afternoon at three O'Clock.

A jury was drawn from among the
working men in the mill. Papers
were found in the pockets of the

railway foreman of Wisconsin Central.
These papers proved that Andrew
RieSchel was one of the two men who
was drowned about two weeks ago in

police at Stevens Point, to notify
relatives that the body Of Andrew
Rieschel was found at Biron.
The undertaken accompanied by a
daughter and nephew Of the deceased

claim the body and take it home
with them. They reviewed the
remains at Natwick & Carhart's
undertaking rooms and them drove
home with the remains.
T. J. Cooper was asked by Miss
Rieschel for the mans name who dis
covered or found the body, stating
that her mother had offered reward
of $50 for the finding Of the body.
Albert Kolojarske OF Rudolph, claims
the reward, stating that he discovered
the body first and pointed it out to
his companion on the boom.
The other mans body has not been
found, there being a reward of s25
for the same.

BIG HOTEL IN THE WOODS
Tavern Inside the Worlds Fair
Grounds. Surrounded by 4
Forest Offers a Luxurious and
Restful Retreat Comfort at the
Worlds Fair.

The comfort for the visitor to an
exposition was never the subject foI
SO much intelligent thought and pre-
paration as it has been at the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition at st. Louis.
one of the features that cannot
fail to appeal to the visitor is the
convenience and comfort afforded by
the Inside Inn, a structure Of 2,257
rooms, covering an area of 400 by
500 feet, wholly within the Worlds
Fair grounds.
Probably no hotel ever built com
mandS view so diversified or grand.
From the wide verandas that
surround the mammoth structure a
wonderful panorama spreads before
one. Many of the state buildings,
with their giant and magnificent
structures. present their most
attractive facades.
A Leisurely walk of five minutes
will land the visitor on the main ter.
race in front of Festival Hall, the
center of the ''main picture" of the
Exposition, the grandest spectacle
ever produced by man. Another five
minutes walk and the visitor may
find himself on The Pike, street OF
amusement, full mile long, with the
shows Of all nations in gay an6
enticing array.
. In the ten minutes walk many oil
the main exhibit palaces have beer
passed. These comprise the largest
and grandest collection of architec
tural triumphs ever assembled in any
one place. Notwithstanding its close
proximity to these scenes of gaiety
and splendOr, noise and confusion
the Inside Inn offers a delightful
retreat. During the noon hour tn.
visitors may retire for brief rest ant
resume his delightful task of sight
seeing refreshed and all the more adj.
to appreciate and enjoy the World
Fair wonders.
The rates at this hotel within tn,
grounds are no higher than thoS,
charged elsewhere. A. good room
maybe had for $3.50 per day, including
admission to the grounds. Other
rooms may be had up to $500 per day
according to the luxuries demanded
There is restaurant in the building
with seating capacity for 2,5O(

HELEN ADAIR's LETTER.
Suitable Attire for the Worlds Fair the

fort in cofsets.

Batavia Cloth Sailor the ideal Hat Com.
fort in corsets.
What shall I wear to the Worlds
Fair? That is the mooted question.
'.How can l be becomingly, and at
the same time suitably attired?
It is problem that requires time
and thought, but fortunately not
much money.
To begin with, there should be a
walking suit of light weight pongee or
mOhair, with coat to match, and a
suit case full of shirt waists, which
vary from the severe madras or linen
tailor made to the tucked and en-
brOidered lawn that will give the
travelling skirt quite dreSsy appear
ance for dinner wear.
But unless woman possesses girl
ish figure of pronounced trimness, let
her avoid the ankle length gown so
much talked of but seldom seen except
on extremists. Equally comfortably
walking skirts are possible, cut from
an inch to two inches above the
ground.
Now to that important and much
abused article of woman's attire-the
hat! II statistics could be properly
secured I am convinced that the
proportion Of women who wear I'M
suitable hats, for the occasion on which
they are worn, are about ninety-nine
out of hundred.
So, of all things let the woman who
wishes to look her best while enjoy
ing the wonders of the fair, look to it
that her hat is a harmonious part of
a harmonious whole.
The enormous sky-scraping struct-
uIe, overloaded with trimming would
rob the most perfectly gowned woman
of all distinction.
Next to the sky -scraper the so called
picture hat, which is suitable only for
formal occasions is to be Stunned for

Colonel Benton's mastery ar

Hon. Nicholas Flagler is out
with a card in the Wimbledon
News in which he announces that
Judge Glaspell is a candidate for
reelection aud urging the people
to support him. 1t is believed
that Mr.. Flagler is wrongly in
formed as to the judges inten-
tions. During the recent term
of court in this city the judge
stated to a number of his friends
that if the Valley City bar would
unite upon a candidate he would
not be a candidate himself, but
on the contrary would cheerfu]ly
give support to the nsmipee OF
the Valley City bar. The judge
has previously lntimated on more
than one occasion that he did not
care to fill the Office again, and
his recent statements are in line
with this understanding of his
position. It is probable that
Barnes county will have a candi
date for the place and it is under.

local attorneys, fully qualified to
fill the position creditably, are

United States Senator p. ].
McCumber is making q valiant
fight for his bill providing for
the inspection of grain by the
government and is meeting with
some substantial encouragement
and he now has hopes Of getting
the bill passed, in spite of the
determined opposition of the ele-
vator and commission men. The
bill is a worthy one and will be
the means of saving the farmers
thousands OF dollars annually.
The bill provides for the uniform
system of grading and for in,
spection at terminal points by
inspectors appointed by the ma
tional government instead of by
the state inspectors as at pres.
ent. Under the present system
the elevators control the inspec.
ton greatly to the detriment OF
the shippers especially from this
state. There is a hard fight be
ing made against the bill by the
elevator companies and it is re
ported that the Minnesota and
Wisconsin senators are against
it, but just whey should be is
conundrum, especially the Min.
nesota men whorepresentagrain
state. Maybe the elevator com.
bine is somewhat stronger than
the farmers.

Secretary Wilson says that Sir
Thomas Upton is buying our
horses, sending them to Ireland,
where he has them trained and
then selling them to Englishmen
as Irish jumpers. Hesalso buys
the hogs in Chicago, prepares
them as Irish bacon, and sells
this in England at fancy prices.
If this is so, we need make no
complaint about it. He is only
making English people who are
willing to pay fancy prices for

burse him for the money he has
