NEW JEWELER
In POSSESSION

Louis Reichel, who purchased the
jewelry stock of E. A. Harmon some
time ago, has taken possession and is
now settled in his new location. The
store is the one formerly operated by
the Brazeau-Hannon company, then
by E. A. Harmon alone, and now has
been purchased by Mr.. Reichel, who
will conduct the business in the future.
Mr.. Reichel has not been resident of
Grand Rapids long, coming here last
spring and entering the employ of the
DAILY Drug company. Being favorabIy
impressed with Grand Rapids as a
business town he has purchased busi-
ness place of his own. He has been
here long enough to make friends with
all he has met and will undoubtedly
have good success in his new location.

Wild ROSE POSTOFFICE
ROBBERS CAUGHT IN THE ACT

A band of four robbers WHO broke
into the Wild Rose post Office and
tried to enter the strong box of the
bank at that place were captured and
one of their number killed in a fight
with posse under the direction of a
deputy sheriff Saturday morning.
The men were rough looking fellows
and had the appearance of being hard
ened criminals. They came into
Wild Rose in the evening of the night
before, and looked over the place with
a view of entering these places, and
though they were seen by number of
persons, there was, of course, no sus-
picion against them.
At about half past two in the morn
ing four men broke into the post Office
and after piling papers about the safe
in the office, they blew it open with
nitro-glycerin. From the post Office
funds and the stamp box, they Sc
cured nearly $500, part Of which was
in stamps. From the post Office they
went to the state bank, and entering
the building, they placed charge of
in a crevice in the edge
Of the outer door of the vault, but
we're frightened away before they
could discharge it.
Apparently some one had been at
tracted by the noise of the breaking
open of the post Office safe, as passerS-
by stopped at the bank building, and

himself as very highly pleased with
the reception he had been given, and
with the good condition in which he
found this part of his diocese. He
gave a few suggestions for improve
ment, but made every person among

pleasant manner and cordial way with
the members of his church.

Mrs. William Raath, wife of the
chief engineer in MacKinnon's plant
on the west side, died in sanitarium
at Weyauwega, Waupaca county, on
Tuesday morning, October 8, 1905.
The cause of her death was a general
breaking down Of her nervous system,
for the benefit Of which she was sent
to several sanitariums, but in vain.
Her death was considered matter of
short time, but was not looked for
so soon, and none of the family were
able to be with her at the time of her
death.
Sarah Millenbah-Ra was born at
Mauston on April q, 1856. When but
child she moved to Grand Rapids
with her parents, and here she has
made her home ever since, with the
exception of one year spent in Min
nesota. In July of 1879 she was mar
ried to William f. Raath in the old
Methodist church, now being used for
the G. A. r. hall on Oak street off
Third on the east side. She has been
a member of that church ever since
her youth, and was an active member
of the order of Rebekas. She will be
greatly missed by many friends as we'll
as the members of the family, as she
was kind and loving mother, and a
good neighbOr.
From her union with William
Raath there were three children born
who are living, by name: William
Raath, Jr., Of Edgerton, Wis; Miss
Jennie Raath, teaching in Milladore,
but whose home was with her parents;
Miss Esne Raath, going to high school
in this city, her home. Other than
these and Mr.. Raath, there are three
brothers and six sister of her own
who survive her, by name: Frank and
Henry Millenbah of Merrill; Mesdames
Martha DeSharm and Anna Wallace
Of Waupaca; Mary Carlson Of Wausau;
Minnie Whitmore and Fred Millen-
bah of Port Edwards; Mrs. Linda
Lyons and Mrs. Ada Duncan of
Louisiana. All were present at her
interment in Forest Hill cemetery on
Thursday except the two sisters from
Louisiana.

the four men ran away. Under-Sheriff
j. d. Digman was informed of what
hal happened, and at once got to-
gether posse of farmers and others
Whu could procure gun, and the
pursuit of the burglars was taken up
at once. BY means of tracks in the
soft soil, and by descriptions of milk
men who had seen the four men going
out of the city, the posse were able to
follow them and the burglars were at
last corraled in swamp, about five
miles from the scene or their depreda-
tionS. Here short fight with guns
took place, during which one burglar
was killed, two others were injured,
severely, and The other was struck by
several small shot. None of the at
tacking party were injured. The men
were brought to the Wautoma jail,
and there they are being held for
trial. They will make no statement
as to themselves, nor Will they say
whether they are all Of the gang in
tereSted in the burglaries or not. At
least one of them has been Unidentified
by detectives sent for, and they are
all believed to have had criminal re-
cords some where. An effort will be
made to fully identify all of them,
and see that they get their just dues.
Public feeling ran high in the neigh
borhoOd of the town where the depre-
dations were committed, but no de-
mcnstration was made at the Jail.

THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE

The Teachers Institute of Wood
county which closed Saturday was
probably the largest ever held in this
county, over one hundred and thirty
being enrolled.
The exercises were well planned and
all present report splendid time.
It is the purpose of County Supt.
Morris to hold at least one more such
gathering in another part of the
county this year.
Saturday afternoon Mrs. Charles
Houseworth, Of Nekoosa, entertained
the Institute by giving reading from
the Bonnie Briar Bush.''
At the close of the Institute Satur-
day the students OF the Wood County
Normal gave an informal reception to
the visiting teachers. The training
school rooms were nicely decorated
with flowers and autumn leaves.
Light refreshments were served.

FOOT BALL GAME

The High school foot ball team
went to Stevens Point Saturday for a
game with the Normal school of that
place and though they played a hard
game, as did their opponents, there
was no score made on .either side.
The game started under faverab BILE
circumstances. and was hard fought
contest all the way through, played
very strongly on the defensive since a
number of fumbles that could have
been made to realize touchdownS,
were promptly taken care of, SO that
no very great gain was made off a
single tumble. The game ended with
the ball on Stevens Points twelve
yard line, and Grand Rapids playing
on the defensive.
Grand Rapids kicked Off to Stevens
Point in the beginning of the first
half, which was played for twenty
minutes. On the very first down a
Stevens Point player fumbled the ball
and though our boys secured the ball,
1t was not for a very great gain.
During the first part of the game,
both teams made great number of
fumbleS and in two instances at least,
a Stevens Point man took advantage
of the fact for long runs. On the
other hand, Nash for the local high
school team did the same thing on
fambles. Due to the greater weight
of the Normal team, they were able
to make most of their line plays show
up good gains for their side. while
the high school boys blocked their
plays and by means of clear, good
football playing, held them for downs,
SO that at the end of the first half
they had gained the confidence that
threatened to forsake them when they
saw the size of their opponents. Ona
tumble, Hayes of the local team got
the ball at the end of the first half,
and started for touch down. Be-
coming little excited over the fact
that he had clear field, he dropped
the ball, which was captured without
gain by the Stevens Point quarter
back.
The second half was for only fifteen
minutes, and though both sides tried
hard to, make, score, neither was
able to. do so. The local team how
ever, were able to get the ball within
eight yards of the Normal goal, and
then through poor Judgment as to
what plays to use, lost the opportunity
to score, and losing the ball on downs,
the game ended with the ball on the
Stevens Point Normal twelve yard
line with Grand Rapids On the defen-
sive. Though the Normal first team
a great deal heavier than the local
boys, the game was a very evenly
matched one, and the players from
here believe they will be able to ''do'
the Normal boys if they can arrange a
return game with them.

The Right Reverend Rishop Swe-
bach was greeted on his first official
visit to the members of the Catholic
church of this city by the largest
crowd that has ever filled the east
side Catholic church here, numbering
above thousand persons. The day
was attended with most pleasant
weather for the event. and one sixth
Of the city'S population attended
Solemn High Mass and Confirmation
service celebrated by him. AS stated,
this is the Bishops first official visit
to this portion of his diocese, as it has
been under his supervision only since
July.
The celebrant of the mass was Rev.
Father Van Sever, of Rudolph, as
sisted by Jesuit Father James Kleist.
of Prairie du Chen as deacon, and
Father Pytrick, of Chicago, as sub
deacon. Father Feldman, of Ne
kOoSa, was master of ceremonies and
Father KorcZyk was assistant at the
throne. Miss Kate Waters was at the
organ and A. j Freund led the choir,
which was assisted by the Steib Or
cheStra. Promptly at ten o'clock, and
when the church was crowded except
in those seats reserved for them, the
Catholic ForesterS and Catholic
Knights, the Young Ladies' Sodaity
and the Fraternity Of Christian
Mothers formed in line at the Catho-
lie parsonage and escorted the Bishop
TO his throne in the church. At the
door of that edilice they were met by
the priests who were to conduct the
mass ceremonies, and were escorted by
them into their respective stations.
Just previous to the entry of the
Bishop, eighty children with their
sponsors entered the church for the
confirmation service To follow mass.
They were to be honOred by having
the Bishop administer this service to
them on his first visit to their church
This part of the services came i'm
medlately after mass. The Bishop
subjected the applicants for confirma-

trombone, Max Sawatski: double
bass, Louis LaBreche. Miss Katherine
Waters was organist and Alois j.
Freund, directors. The mass was
Zanga;s Pope Leo Mass. of Cecillean
music. The Introit, Graduate,
Oertory and Communion were of the
Gregorian chant.
In the afternoon, Bishop Swebach
conducted services in the st. Lawrence
church on the west side. This build
ing was packed to it's full capacity for
the services. We were unable to
learn the DameS of those who assisted
at the service. Monday morning the
Bishop celebrated low mass on the
east side, and soon after left the city
for Sigel, where he will conduct SER
vice in the Catholic church. He
came to the city Saturday last, and
expects to leave for La Crosse We'd
neSday.
That they might become more
affiliated with, and enter into better
acquaintance with their new bishop,
the Catholic Order of Foresters and
Catholic Knights of both sides Of the
river and from Nekoosa sent deleea-
tion to NekooSa to meet the Bishop
upon his coming to the city Saturday
night. Again, after the services Sun
day morning, the Bishop was informed
of reception given in his honor at
the ForeSters' hall in the new Wood
County National Bank building. This
reception was an informal affair, and
was attended by about 200 guests.
Bishop Swebach, Fathers Pytrick and
KleiSt and several other priests gave
short informal talks, and there we're
about half dozen responses made
by members of the local church. The
evening passed of very pleasantly,
and very successfully carried out the
plan for which it was suggested, that
of acquainting the members OF the
Wood county churches with the new
Bishop that had been recently ap-
pointed over them.
The east side church, with Father
Hugenroth as pastor, and in fact all
of Wood county east Of the Wisconsin
river, has been part of Bishop Swe-
bach's diocese only since July of this
year. At that time a new bishopric
was established and the state re-diS-
tricted, and in the new manner of
things, Wood county in entirety was
put under care Of Bishop Swebach.
And from the opinion gained by the
members of the Catholic church in
Grand Rapids, the affairs of their,
church could have been placed in no
better hands. The Bishop made many
friends during his short stay in this
city, because of his cordial and friendly
manner and the care he exercises in
looking after the interests of his
diocese. 1t is to be hoped that Bishop
Swebach can and will come to our city
more often, as his visits are all fully
by the people Of the city,
whether members of his church or
not.
