TWO CARS DITCHED

Yesterday afternoon while the
Babcock switch engine was moving
some empty box cars at the south end
OF the new paper mill the newly con.
structed track next to the river
settled from being soaked with the
recent heavy rains. Two cars were
thrown off the track and after run.
ming on the ties for some distance
were tipped over in opposite directions,
one car narrowly escaped going into
the river by striking telephone pole.
No one but railroad man can COM
prehend how an accident of this kind
could happen throwing the cars in
opposite directions at almost exactly
the same time, 40 one apparently was
to blame for the accident as the out
side rail on the curve has settled
several inches lower than the inside
one.

THE CITY AND THE
COMING YEAR

1t is a good custom that successful
men have in their private business tC
plan certain campaigns and to lay out
certain methods of procedure at the
beginning of the new year for the
succeeding twelve months. Likewise
it is we'll that the citizens of Grand
Rapids should lay out for the ensuing
year some procedure tending toward
municipal betterments.
In the matter of street improve
ments and those other constructive
works which may be classed as strictly
municipal, Grand Rapids has done we'll
in 1904. Our streets are in better
condition than ever before, fact
upon which we may congratulate
ourselves in general and thank the
city administration in particular.
Today as we stand close to the
entrance of 1905, we must lay other
larger, broader and greater plans for
Grand Rapids welfare. We must
continue to march upward and on
ward, we must demonstrate that
the demands Of life in Grand
Rapids people call for and are far
more than simply so be alive, that
life here is far better thing than
mere existence, than our motto is for
ward. To put the whole matter in a
nutshell it is up to US to better our
industrial and business life as we have
already bettered our elements of our
town life. Grand Rapids needs new
factories, in 1905, we must get them.

BIG WATERIS COMING
River Has Raised About Five
Feet at Merrill and Wausau.

AS result Of the heavy rains that
have prevailed during the past forty
eight hours the river has raised at
this place about twelve inches. The
rain appears to have been general and
a big water is coming from above.
Advices from Merrill and Wausau
state that the raise at both places has
been about five feet. This is still
about three feet below high water
mark at those places and the worst is
probably over there as il is stated the
water is now at about stand still.
The water from above will probably
reach here during the night and to-
morrow forenoon, but owing to the
fact that there are SO many low places
and natural outlets between here and
WauSau it is anticipated that the
raised here will not exceed three
feet.-Stevens Point Journal.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

the high school and eighth grade is
as follows: Eighth grade, "a; first
year, 70; second year, so; third year,
81; fourth year, 81, making total of
274. AS the entire enrolment last
year was 252, it will be seen that the
increase in enrolment up to the
present time this yeah shows an in
crease Of twenty-five over the entire
enrolment last year.
The eighth grade girls now have
drawing twice each week and
sewing once week, while the eighth
grade boys have manual training.
The chemical laboratory is used for a
sewing room. Sewing tables have

1870 MEN WANTED

The Grand Rapids Advancement
Association have 100 members. They
have sent a personal letter to $50 men
who thus far have failed to respond to
pressing invitation and earnest
request to become members. They
were selected with much care as
being citizens who were anchored
here in our city, and have the best
interest of the city at heart. They are
among Grand Rapids best citizens
and it is hard to account for their
failure to respond. A few have offered
the excuse that they did not get time
to attend. Now is this a fact, can't
they possibly spare six evenings in
the whole year for the good Of their
city? Or can it he the S1.00 admission
fee? Certainly not. Any one Of the 1SC
men can pay the S1.00 and never feel
it.. That this association is doing a
good work for the city is self evident.
Now, if these $50 men have a better
way of advancing the best interests
of the city, we should be glad to heal
from them. But we are quite
confident that this $50 are little
like the rest of humanity, just little
slow to act. We have already published
the names Of the 120 men who are
members. Would it not be fair to
publish the names Of the 100 mer
who are so badly needed and have beer
selected to assist in this work? What
say YOU?

years he has suffered with catarrh in

Although he resorted to the latest
scientific treatment, and consulted
many of his brother physicians, DR.
Hart finally said, II might just as
we'll have thrown my money in the
river for l grew worse and worse. It
is really due to my wife's good judg.
ment that l tried Hyomei." The
Doctor, in his emphatic way added
"Thank God that l did, for Hyomei
cured me completely. My wife and
will swear that Hyomei cured me OF
the worst case of catarrh that ever
existed. l used to cough constantly
at night, and had dropping in the
throat, which kept me awake a great
deal. l raised thick phlegm and was
in a horrible condition. However,
an entirely cured, solely through the
use Of Hyomei." John E. DAILY is the
local agent for Hyomei, the famous
treatment which cures catarrh with
out stomach dosing. A complete
outfit costs but s1.OO, extra bottles,
SO cents. He sells it under guarantee
to refund the money if it does not
give quick relief. Ask him to show
you the strong guarantee under which
it is sold.

MERCHANT WHILE INSANE
TRIES TO TAKE OWN LIFE

John Seulau, a Davenport retail shoe
merchant, in a temporary fit of mental
alteration this morning, tried to com
init suicide. and came within an ace
of making the job a successful one.
He had strung himself up in a shed
near the court house and was almost
unconscious when discovered and cut
down. After receiving medical atten-
ton he was removed to the county Jail
to be guarded until the commissioners
for the insane have an inquiry into
his condition. The cause of Seulau's
sudden loss of reason cannot be ex-
planned by his family or friends.
