CHANGE OF DIVISION

Arrangements have been made
whereby after Monday May 9th all
freight crews on this division Of the
st. Paul will be 'slaid up'' at Wausau.
In other words Wausau is hereafter
to be the freight division of the
Wisconsin division. This will bring
four more crews there from Babcock,
total of about twenty-five employees.
Several of them have families and the
total will be an increase of population
Of about forty persons.
The change will also bring merchan-
disc freight to Wausau from Milwau-
kee and Chicago about twenty-four
hours earlier than formerly, it not
being s'laid up' at Babcock.
It's evident the st. Paul people are
disposed to do much for Waasau. q
condition which should be fully
! appreciated.-Wausau Record.

ANTI-CIGARETTE

Two1hundred delegates from differ-

and organized an anti-cigarette league.
Delegates were present from Racine,

The following officers were elected:
President, Frank Gibson, Kenosha;
vice-president, Max Ferbes, Racine;-

This is certainly a move along the
right line. 1t almost seems strange

BURGLAR ALARM TESTED
PROVES A SUCCESS

1ueTc are Two Glasses OF people
though entirely different engaged in
the bankiag business in this country,
today one to make bank proof
against robbers, the other to rob it..
Twenty-Five centuries ago the banking
house of Egibi of ancient Babylon was
protected against robbers. Millions
of dollars have been spent by bankers
to protect the funds entrusted to their
care. 1t is plain that burglar plying
his trade In the still small hours of
the might will fly for his life
upon the sounding of an alarm.
The burglar alarm system now in
operation at the Wood County
National bank has been thoroughly
tested and found to be complete in
every respect. The first victim to try
this system was f. J. Wood as he was
called to the bank after supper by a
false appointment.
The two gongs that Immediately
went into active service was not long
in convincing Mr.. Wood that the
system was success in every respect.
1t is composed of two distinct
systems operated by electricity on the
open circuit plan.
The system is so arranged that if
any person attempts to enter the
vault in any way after certain time
at night, the alarm bells connected
with the device commence to ring and
they continue to do so until some
person enters the vault and opens the
switch. This applies to the owner of
the bank the same, as any one else,
and after the time has elapsed he
cannot enter the vault any more than a
person who has no business around the
premises. II the employees should leave
the bank at night without properly
closing and locking the vault, when
the time came at which the alarm
had been set, it would ring as loud
and persiStently as if a burglar were
attempting to break into the place.
While the gong that does the ring
ing is on the out side of the building
1t is so constructed that if anyone
tries to disconnect it or break it or in
any way tamper with it, it will cause
an alarm to be sounded. Taken alto
gether, it is very complete as a burg
lar alarm, and no doubt a crackman
would think twice before he has made
up his mind to monkey with vault
protected with one of these systems.

sTHE MAGIC HOUR"
The Musical Program Given by
the Children Of the Grades at
the Lincoln School Was Well
Attended by IN Appreciative
Audience.

The large assembly room in the
Lincoln school building was we'll
filled Saturday night May I, with an
appreciative audience to listen to
musical program entitled, "The
Magic Hour" in which the pupils in
the grades took part. 1t is known
that Miss Laura Reeves has charge of
the musical instruction in the public
schools of Grand Rapids. 1t is
customary to give musical entertain
ment once year at which time the
parents have the opportunity to see
and judge of the progress their
children have made during the year.
1t must be plain to the least obServ-
ing that the children are making
rapid progress and in their appearance
on the stage reflect the benefits
derived from such instruction. Miss
Reeves is entitled to great credit for
this cart of the children'S education.
We believe that we express the senti-
ment of the parents in commencing
her good work.
In this entertainment the little
ones, members of the kindergarten
appeared as ''daises," the first graders,
the boys appearing as frogs and the
little girls as butterflies. The second
graders represented heather bells and
the third and fourth graders, flower
girls. The full chorus was made up
of fourth, sixth and seventh grades.
A chorus and drill made up of soldier
boys taken from the fourth and fifth
grades, may pole dance by the
fourth grade girls, all of them render
ing their part SO favorably that they
were all recalled by encores. The solo
/ by Marguerite Ragan, a duet by
Lucille Church and Fay Warner,
solo by Phillip Gouger, a duet by
Ida Smith and Piunmer Steen were
all exceptionally fine and well
rendered. Miss Edna Ridgman's
solo was much appreciated and was
heartily encored. Laird Warner was
costumed to represent old Father
Time and had prominent part all
through the performance, which he
performed very nicely. Miss Jeanette
Muir also took a prominent part ap-
pearing as Little Girl. Her solo too
was well rendered.
This entertainment as a whole was
first class and reflects great credit
upon the teachers who had charge
of the drilling. Miss Bell Thorn
onlciated at the piano and rendered
her part faultlessly. We:believe that
the people Of Grand Rapids are
heartily in favor Of the continuance
of these entertainments in all de-
,. partments of public school work.

PROSPERITY In
WOOD COUNTY.

In the year 1897 concluded to look
up and buy place for home of my
own, and having heard about the good
qualities of the lands in northern Wis
cOnSin, / visited that locality and
investigated the land offered for sale
there. I found the lands fully as good
as represented, the location all that
could be desired, and SO well was
impressed with everything saw that
l decided to buy tract of land for .
home right then and there. I had
only money enough to make my first
payment and to buy few necessities,
but no stock, nor machinery. Today
/ have my place well stocked and
equipped, and farm for which unim-
proved paid SO per acre I can now
take $40 per acre for it at any time,
but do not wish to sell as know the
land l have and any in this neighbor-
hood will double invalue again within q
few years There is still as good land as
[ have to be had in this locality and
would advise any one who now is in
the position was when bought, to
come here aud see what man can do
with but little money il he selects the
right locality. Everybody here is do
ing well. We nov enjoy all the
conveniences of the old settlements in
the southern and eastern part of the
state. We have good roads, schools,
creameries, railway stations and good
market places are close at hand. We
can get what we have to buy at very
reasonable prices and have SPLENDID
market for what we have to sell.
While the lands here now, of course,
are some higher in price than when I
bought, the development of the
country had made them worth much
more. and even il the man with but
small means in buying land here now
has to incur asomewhat larger indebt-
edness than formerly, his land is able
to carry such debt and he can pay it
OF sooner and easier than the early
settlers could. have no land for sale
myself, but know what this country
has done for me and should be glad to
see it do as well for as many others
who will add to our already desirable
community, as possible.
