If NOT FLATTERING

Leslie's Weekly had the following
editorial in its last issue on the
cigarette laws:
Indiana. Wisconsin, Nebraska, and
a few other Western States have laws
directed against the smoking OF
cigarettes. Bills of the same sort
have been before several states in the
same section, including Illinois,
Michigan, and Minnesota. In most
cases these laws are so strong that
they are weak. They are so sweeping
and SO harsh that the offenders are
taking their cases to the higher courts,
with the hope of having them declared
unconstitutional. These enactments,
most of which are recent, are a mani
festation Of the radical spirit which
aims to reform people By statute, or
by intimidation, which often breaks
out in the West. Kansas has prohi-
bition, but Carrie Nation thought it
was evaded, and she set out with her
hatchet to perform In her own way,
and without compensation, a work
which the police and the courts, in a
totally different sort of a way, were
paid to do, but which she said they
neglected to do. Ostensibly the anti
cigarette laws are in the interest of
the public health and the public
morals. So was the whiskey- barrel
smashing crusade started by the
women Of H1llsboreugh, O., third of
century ago, OF which Carrie Ma
tion'S outbreak is belated eruption,
Sometimes these crusades do good for
a Time. Usually, however, they run
their course quickly. and leave society
just about as they found it.

HICKS AND THE WEATHER

The Rev. Irl Hicks, weather prevari-
Gator or prognostigator, has dished
out the following for June:
From the Sd to 5th will be central
reactionary storms. From the 7th to
18th general and severe weather dis
turbance will take place. During this
period there will be considerable elec-
trical and magnetic excitement-ma
be. From the 14th to 18th, there will
be thunder storms every afternoon and
evening. The Rev. gentleman admOn-
ishes farmers not to cut hay at this
period. The Vulcan storm period be-
gins on the Goth and ends to the Oath
and relative to this the preacher
weather man says: Thunder clouds
and squalls at this time have a
surprising way of doubling back and
slipping up from easterly directions,
striking the unwary on the blind
side and coming in at the back door
generally" For the balance of the
month the citizens of this republic
will be favored with an electrical
storm each day. From the above
forecast it is hard to see where we are
to get any pleasant weather during
the month. But then Hicks, the
infallible, has decreed that we shall
carry umbrellas and wear rubners, and
SO all we can do is to grin and bear 1t.

RIVER BEING
STOCKED WITH FISH

Some time ago a number Of local
fishermen made requisition on the
state department of fisheries to secure
some minnows to be planted in the
Wisconsin river. near Grand Rapids.
Pike fry in particular were asked for,
and the request has been granted.
Twenty-one scans of pike fry were
received, making about five thousand
minnows, which were planted in the
river, some below the city, and the
rest above the Consolidated dam. 1t
is estimated that out of this number,
one fourth or over a thousand fish
will attain size great enough to be
used for food. This is expected: to
improve the fishing to a great extent
in and around Grand Rapids and it is
estimated that three years will elapse
before any of these minnows will be
large enough to be caught. II it is
possible to do so, more fry of the same
and different kinds Of fish will be
obtained next year and the river
stocked with fish.

OSHKOSH TINES
FINALLY SUSPENDS
Old Daily Gives Up The Ghost
After Losing Thousands Of
Dollars in Enterprise.

Wednesday the Oshkosh Daily
Times suspended publication and it
is stated that it will appear hereafter
as a semi-weekly. Financial difficult
ties are reported as the cause for the
suspension of this old time daily,
which for about twenty years had
been quite factor in Oshkosh news
paperdom. Alluding to the suspension
the Oshkosh Northwestern says,
among other things:
1.-THE Oshkosh Times was purchased
in November 1867, by d. w. Fernan-
DEE and the late George Hyer. Pre-.

VOLUME 4s, NUMBER ~
A MUSICAL STUNT EVENING

An interesting novelty in the way
OF a musical program was given by
the pupils Of Miss Katharine Rood's
class, Monday evening in the parlors
of Hotel Dixon. The program was
open for each member to give his best
so called stunt. The result was very
entertaining, and brought out a well
balanced series OF vocal and piano
numbers. given in happy spirit that
made the evening most enjoyable.
The hour opened with bright
piano duet, given by Misses Edith
Nash and Rood, then followed piano
solo by Grace Goggins and Katheryn
Smith.
Frank Natwick kindly assisted with
his violin, giving a most pleasing
number accompanied by Miss Rood,
and also playing the vielin obligato
parts, for vocal selections given by
Mrs. Harvie, Misses Anna Reeves and
Ruby Natwick. These were especially
enjoyable.
The concert recital numbers were
given by Chas. Downie, Miss Beatrice
Kraus, of Marshtield, and Miss Faye
Jackson, Of Fond du Lac, who came
to Grand Rapids for this purpose.
The audience consisted of friends
invited by each member who took
part, SO that the evening was especially
marked with enthusiastic applause.
Miss Rood's painstaking efforts and
excellent methods for both vocal and
piano instruction, were demonstrated
many times during the evening in the
precision and artistic rendition OF the
different numbers.

GRATING FOR TREATS

A party of men in front of hotel
in Grand Rapids were telling, the
other day, of the ways in which they
had seen buffet keepers beaten out of
treats. One told of the old way of
asking to pay for the treat in stamps
and after disposing with the treat,
stamping on the floor as the
stamps"
Another told of joking for a while
with the keeper of the place and
finally suggesting that the keeper
couldn't remember long enough to
answer yes to three questions asked
by the CRATER. This being denied
and the assurance given that the
keeper was a man of his word, the
CRATER asked the questions, the first
two of which were very personal.
The keeper would invariably answer
these two all right when the CRATER
would ask, "wili you stand treat fol-
the house?" The keeper was com.
PEELED to answer yes, and having said
he was man of his word, must put
up the treats.
Another ingenious way was for a
party to go into a place, and calling
the keeper to one side tell him hard
luck story, and ask to put an umbrella
up for the treats, suggesting that be
would redeem the umbrella later
The keeper, usually an accommodating
man, agreed, aud when the treats
were received, the CRATER would raise
the umbrella, saying, 81 have now put
up the umbrella, and the treats are
paid for" There was no recourse fol
the keeper. This trait of Americans
that of beating one another and ot
sharp trading has become so strong q
trait that it even enters their forms
| of amusement.

MEMORIAL DAY
WAS OBSERVED
Thousands of People in the Citv
to Honor the Dead.

~ x4UuOk TIC OC0Os
It is estimated that on Memorial
Day there were fully nine thousand
people in the city, including those
who reside here and those who came
to the city for the purpose Of paying a
visit to the graves Of those who have
gone before. From as early as five
O'Clock in the morning team after
team bearing people from the
surrounding country came into the
city and passed through and out to
Forest Hill and Calvary cemeteries
At one time in the cemeteries there
is thought to have been more than
three thousand people; not all to see
the graves of friends or relatives, but
all to be in the last resting grounds Of
these called before, and all there to
show due respect to them.
After coming from the cemetery,
many little picnic parties were
formed to while away the time till the
exercises in the opera house in the
afternoon. A large number of people
were taking advantage of the
beautiful day to row on the river.
But at half past two in the afternoon
when the exercises began in the opera
house, the building was full to over
flowing. Chairs were brought to the
opera house and filled all the available
space. Even then there was not seat
Ing room to accommodate the great
throng that pressed close as possible
to hear the words in praise of those
dead heroes for whom this day of
days was primarily designed.
The program in the opera house
was as follows:
Opening remarks. Commander C. C. Packard
Opening Selected
Congregational choir.
Opening prayer. .,....."....Rev c. 81. DeVoe
Address, "Work and Reward of the Boysin Blue

to Remember ........".......... Rev. Fred Staff
Closed by all singing America.
The enthusiasm that entered the
given each speaker gave good
evidence of the patriotic spirit with
which their words were received.
The respect and love held for the
old soldiers IDS evidenced by the
cheering after the remarks of
Commander Packard and District
Brazeau when they spoke of
the old soldiers and their work, reward
and their conditions today. And each
Of the other speakers, when they
alluded to the deeds of the boys in
blue of old, we're applauded with great
favor.
The day has passed and for another
year the spirit OF graduate and
of those who fought
for the old flag in the sixties will lie
dormant till the approach of another
day will rekindle the flame
and bring out still stronger the desire
to help make the lives of those old
soldiers more pleasant while they are
here with US, and to show all due
respect to those who have answered
to the last roll call and over whom the
last call of 'staps" has been sounded.

We hope that the common council
will not neglect the naming of our
streets and the numbering of the
houses right away as these pre-
liminaries must be ready before free
delivery can or will be installed. II
this is neglected this service will be
delayed. There are many young men
in this city who want to take the
examination for carriers. II the city
will do their part promptly we
can have free delivery service in this
city not later than September first.
