will give 25c supper in the basement
of the church on Friday evening, March
3d. Everybody invited.
The two entertainments of King Chop
Suey, given at the opera house Thurs
| day and Friday evenings under the
auspices of Co. G, we're attended by
large audiences and the entertainment
furnished was satisfying, considering
the fact that it was gotten up on short
notice by local talent.
The Merchant of Venice Co. sched-
uled to play at the opera house last
night failed to keep its engagement
A small audience was in attendance
and disagreement arose between both
parties to the contract, and the people
were paid back their money and the
lights turned out. A damage suit is
threatened.
Among the instruments filed yester-
day with the register of deeds was a
warranty deed in which Barbara,
deserted widow" conveys to a certain
other party certain property rights
The officers in the county building have
since been trying to ascertain what
kind of a widow deserted widow is.
We once knew woman who was two
kinds of widow-grass and sod She
planted one husband and tied a tin can
to the cSner, but deserted widow is a
neE one to us.
VIM. Crandall, plumber, arrested
Saturday evening while Intoxicated,
made his escape from the lookup the |
same night. Awakening in the night |
and surveying his surroundings he was
dissatisfied with his place of lodging
and also having well developed thirst, |
concluded to get out of the city hall. |
He tore off the hot air pipe leading up |
through the floor of his cell room and |
crawled through the register into the
Office of Henry Gross Instead of I'M
locking the door and walking out as he |
could easily have done, he raised a |
window and jumped to the ice in the
slough below. He suffered a sprained |
ankle, but that did not deter him from
going to the nearest saloon, where he |
was later re-arrested. Next morning |
his ankle was so sore he could not APP |
pear in court and he was let out on bail. |
Mrs. Louisa Radiant, one of the very
early settlers of the town of Stettin,
was found dead in her bed early yester-
day morning by her son, Gottlieb, with
whom she was living. Shortly after
midnight the young Mrs. Radiant was
awakened by dream. In her dream
she had seen the ola lady's corpse and
was so frightened that she awoke with
q scream, which also awakened her
husband. She informed him of her
dream and advised him to go and see
how his mother was resting He |
stepped into his mothers room and |
found her dead. Mrs. RADIANT was IS
years old and had been in fairly good |
health. She made no complaints of |
feeling unwell when she retired and
it is supposed death resulted simply |
from the wearing out of Natures forces.
Funeral will be held Wednesday.

Machinery is expecte to arrive here
some time in March fol the plant of the |
Wausau Canning Co., which will cost
several thousand dollars and double
the capacity of the plant. The present
capacity is 10000 cans daily and after
the new machinery has been installed
total of $4,000 cans can be turned out
daily. Contracts are being made with
farmers for the raising of peas and adj
ditional land is being contracted for.
Last year between 400 and sou acres
were cultivated for peas and corn for
this institution; this year about 1000 |
acres will be sown to peas and it isquite |
probable that the canning of corn will
be dropped, because of the crop not
being much of success in this north
ern section Doubling the capacity of
the plant means employment for addi-
tional hands. The company has al
ready sold 10000 cases of peas, which
will be canned next summer, to the
large wholesale house of Reid, Muir
doch & Co., Chicago.
