EVER THINK OF IT?

Did you ever think to look over a
list Of the unmarried men Of your
acquaintance and see how many are
really able to support wife and the
consequent family? We write more
particularly of the small towns and
cities and not of the farmer, who is
king unto himself. The result of
such an Investigation would un-
doubtedly startle you somewhat. Not
one young man in ten, based on a
conservative estimate, is more than
able to take care of himself, or has
laid by penny for the married emer-
gency. They are hoping for some
thing to turn up that will take away
from their shoulders the responsibility
or else they are believing in the old
adage that two can live as one.
They marry some unwise, love-sick
girl and trust to luck to bring them
out of the pit which they have, OF
their own volitlon. dug for their OwI
footsteps. The result is either &
divorce or a struggle with the gaun1
wolf of poverty. Meanwhile the
s'innocent dove of love" as they choose
to call it at the beginning of the
dream, HES its way out the window

"HELLO BILL"

Hello Bill" was the name of the
show presented at the opera house
Saturday night, and it was the best
show put on this year. Due to its be-
ing new one and having an un-
familiar name, not large house was
present, but the quality of the enter
tainment was first class. Cutting,
one of the characters of the play, was
without question, the best actor that
has played in this opera house this
year. From the beginning to the end
the house did not leave off laughing.
1t is understood that the same com.
pany will show here again this fall,
and if so, deserve house just as large
as can fill it, as it is a good, clean
show. as good as will MAKE Grand

Last Excursion Train,

The last of the popular Sunday ex-
cursion trains over the Green Bay and
Western railroad was run Sunday last.
They started early in the summer,
and have proved means of great con-
venience and pleasure to many persons
living along that railroad line. Judg-
ing from the numbers on the tickets
issued for the last of the trains, there
have been at least 1,85c persons make
the trip to Green Bay during the year.
This is to the one city alone, and does
not include tickets to any other place
1t is probable that 1000 have been is.
sued to Stevens Point, and 500 tl
other places, from Grand Rapids alone
This aggregates nearly $500 persons
who have taken the trip over this line
on excursion trains this summer, ano
serves to illustrate how many have
taken advantage OF the chance tx
spend Sunday out Of the city.

ATE PARIS GREEN
Little Boy Escapes Death Through
Quick Action of Parents.

Little two year old John o Day, son
of Mr. and Mrs. B. O'Day ate guam
tity of paris green Monday morning,
and his life was saved only by prompt
action of his parents in hurrying the
little fellow to physician. With his
parents he had gone to the home of an
uncle, John O'Day to spend part OF
the day. While at his uncle's home,
he wandered about the house and dis
covered some paris green in paper
box, standing on window within
reach.
Knowing nothing of the deadly
character of the powder the little fell
low started to play with the box and
took some of it's contents into his
mouth and ate it. He was discovered
by his parents just after eating the
poison, and realizing that something
must be done right away, they hur-
ridly hitched up team and drove into
the city at top speed, taking the boy
with them. He was taken to Drs.
Looze and Bellin's offices and received
medical treatment.
After applications of the customary
antidote, the boy began to improve
and to-day, Tuesday, he is out of dan
ger, though very weak and i'll yet,
from the effects of tie poison. This
is the second time within two months
that little one has nearly met death
through the careless ness of persons in
taking care OF poisonous matter that
may be about the place. Too much
care cannot be taken in handling this
class of material.

VOLUME 4s, NUMBER II
BURGLARS ENTER SALOON
Road House at Four Mile Creek
Entered and Sum Of Money
Taken.

Taken.
The road house kept by William
Henry at Four mile creek was entered
by three men on Friday night and
sum of money was taken from the
cash drawer and from a slot machine
standing in the place. The saloon is
a well known resort, and because it is
unoccupied after locking up hours at
night, made an easy place to enter.
Henry lives down the road a way
from the building in which the saloon
is located, and a consequence did
not hear or know anything OF the mat.
ter till the next morning when he
came to open up the place. Then it
was found that the men had entered
by raising a window with a jimmy or
pry, and had made their entrance by
this means.
Inside the place there was nothing
destroyed but slot machine that was
standing in the room. The glass in
the front of this machine was broken
in and by means of the jimmy the
front of the case was pried of and the
contents taken therefrom. Henry es-
Inmates that there was about ten
dollars in the machine at the time.
No liquor was taken so far as can be
learned, and evidently nothing but
the money was wanted.
Going behind the bar of the place
the men discovered the cash till In
which there Was about $2S. The
proprietor had left the money in the
drawer, not thinking of such thing
as anyone entering the place. Again
using their jimmy they pried the cash
till from it's fastenings and took the
contents. After taking the money
they made search of the other
drawers in the bar and finding moth
ing else of value, left the place the
same way they had entered.
From the foot prints outside the
building, and from the different sized
shoes indicated thereby, it is esti-
mated that three men must have been
engaged in the burglary, though only
two are thought to have entered the
place. After making the discovery
that his place had been entered by
burglars, Mr.. Henry came to Grand
Rapids and notified the police. No
clue to the identity of the burglars
has been secured, further than the
foot prints mentioned before. This
is the first robbery in this section for
nearly half year.
