ELECTRIC LIGHT AND
GAS LIGHTS

New gas plants have been installed
in the business places of the Heine-
man Mercantile company, the
Fournier and Solchenburger place,
Grant Beardsley's and George w.
Purnell's. The light is stronger and
is decided improvement over the
present electric light service, aud is
at less expense. Just what the facts
are in the case, we are not in a
position to say from experience. That
there is dissatisfaction with thepresent
electric light service, there is no
doubt as everyone who uses the
current is aware. 1t was not always
thus. and just what can be ascribed
as the cause of the trouble we don't
know, unless it is that the plant is
over loaded. During the months of
December, January and February, the
load is the heaviest, and therefore
may be so distributed that the
: vice is not so strong as it should
! We are confident, however, that
lie electric light company will GER
uainly remedy the defect. We hope
that the electric light users will not
be overly anxious to install gas or
other light systems, until the home
company is given the necessary time
to correct any defect that may be
found in their service.

PRAISES GRAND RAPIDS

S. c. Thayer, general manager of the
Beaver county Telephone company in
Pennsylvania, who visited this city
and Wausau recently, make a report
to the people that are interested in
the organization of his company,
which is conducted on the same lines
as that in Wood county. and therein
has the following to say of Grand
Rapids and of what he found here in
respect to telephone service:
"Grand Rapids, Wis, is little city
of about 1000 persons, situated on
either side of the Wisconsin river.

YOUNG PEOPLE ARE
BECOMING SHY

According to the statistics on file
with County Clerk George Davis for
his office, the young people of Wood
county are either becoming more
particular, or else they are becoming
inordinately shy. The particular
statistic that bears out this assertion
is that in respect to the number of
marriage licenses issued during the
past year ds compared with the num-
Der issued the year before, or in 1904.
In 1904 there were issued in all, 239
marriage licenses, of which twenty
three were with permit of parents.
In the year just past, 1905. there has
been issued by the county clerk 233
licenses, of which twenty-five have
been with permit. This indicates
several things to one who thinks of
the matter. First, it shows that
there are fewer persons in the county
who came under the mystic spell of
love during the year. That means
less cOurting, earlier hours for the
young people, more work done by the
young men. Again; there were several
more special licenses issued, showing
that haste entered into at least two
more marriages than the year before
There has been, during the last year,
more young persons (those under the
legal agel who have secured licenses.
This seems to throw the burden of the
increasing shyness upon those more
advanced in years, called otherwise
spinsters and bachelors. The figures,
interesting.

COUNTY OFFICERS TAKE
OATH OF OFFICE

County Judge w. j. Conway, who
was reelected to his office last spring,
took the oath of Office on January
second of this year, at the same time
as County superintendent of Schools
Robert Morris, of Arpin, also re-
elected. The judge held his first
term of court under his new incum-
bency of office on last Tuesday, week
ago, at which time there was but
little business, so the term was
adjourned till Tuesday of this week.
His term of office is for four years.
The session Tuesday morning was a
short one. Among other matters
came up was the estate of Francis
McRaith. In regard to his estate
Attorney Louis Bauman, in behalf of
the petitioners, was sworn and ex-
amined as to the contents of the
petition. The bond of the admins
traitor was approved, and letters of
administration were signed, filed and
issued. Inc order and notice OF
claims of creditors Was issued.
Another estate which came up was
that of Frank Jadack, whose death
occurred in Waupun state prison last
summer. Jadack was sent up from
this county and at the time of his
death several other cases were pending
against him. He left a widow and
six children. A guardian and litem
was appointed by the court for the
minor children. and the request of
Mrs. Jadack to be made administra-
trix was granted. The bond of the
Administrative, Mrs. Theresa Jadack.
was fixed at 5000.

prosperity of themselves, therefore,
had been satisfied to pay their workers
a sufficient price so that they, too. are
largely home owners with interests in
common with all citizens. My buSi-
ness being especially that of eXamin-
ing into the merits of the telephone
system known as the Wisconsin Val
ley Plan, l promptly set about doing
so."
Then follows his report on the Wis
consin Valley Plan, as in use in Grand
Rapids, making very satisfactory re-
port; one, in fact that will probably
be used as model by his company.

p RECEIPTS FOR
THE PAST YEAR

During the year 1905 the postal re-
ceipts at the local office were greater
than for any year previous in the his
tory of the Grand Rapids post office.
In all the amounts received between
December 81, 1904 and December 81,
1905 was Sl2, ,2962l. 1t is ordinarily
supposed that The quarter just before
Christmas is the one that shows the
greatest receipts, but during the last
year 1t was not the case, as the first
quarter OF the year was the one bring
ing the greatest amount of business to
the local office.
The receipts for each quarter were
as follows:
First quarter S3.5S7.70
Second quarter 2,60l.2l
Third quarter 2.873.12

GRANTED A DIVORCE :

The daily press is authority for the
statement that Judge Burnell Of
Oshkosh, granted a divorce to Mrs.
Caroline Upham Sawyer, from Phil
FL Sawyer. Last August Mrs. Sawyer
left her home in Oshkosh, went back
to her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. H.
Upham of Marshtield,:t lire, and will
now continue to reside there. The
ground for divorce was non-support,
and the court ordered Sawyer to pay
his divorced wife $4,000 as a final
division of the couples property.
She has been very prominent in
society circles of Oshkosh, ana he is
a grandson of the late q. S. Senator,
Philetus Sawyer. The custody of the
one child is given Mrs. Sawyer till
further order of the court.

as to true American citizenship exist
ing in at least our part of the
American army right now, then he
will find in any part of the civil life
of the United States"
In speaking of his army life, Cor
poral Mahoney said about the same
thing, stating that the men them
selves in his regiment had a library
and reading room, and that tie boys
used them, being able to quote
standard literature with surprising
fluency. AS to the condition of the
individual man iD the American army,
he agreed with Corporal Muir. saying
that the quality "true AmerioaniSm"
was strongly wrought into the Ameri-
can soldier as he knew them. Cor
poral Mahoney stated that he used
the Krag-JOrgenson rifle, but that he
had little use for the gun, as his
duties consisted mostly of directing
his squad in drill, and of going on the
guard detail as a corporal of the
guard.
In speaking of his weapons, Cor.
poral Muir said the new field piece,
the three inch gun was now being
used, and that it was a much su-
perior weapon to the old one. He
described their practice at target, of
their shooting at an object upon the
other side of hill 1.-THE gun is sighted
for four miles, and all of their cavalry
work. An interesting fact about
modern.artillery not generally known
is that the horses used by them, all
have saddles attached to their harness
so that they can be used as cavalry
should the artiIlerymen lose their
gun in an engagement.
The furlough of both boys was for
but ten days, SO that each left for
their detachments today, Thursday.
They move to San Francisco the
middle of this month, and sail for
Manila on February /. The trip will
be very pleasant and instructive
one, and as there is no trouble in the
east now, it will not be a dangerous
one, so the boys are both looking for
ward to a pleasant year away. Their
many friends here wish them the best
OF good fortune on their long journey.

1t will be noticed by the table that
there were seven days in 1904 when
the thermometer registered below
zero whether. In 1905 there were only
two such days. In 1904 the average
temperature for December 1904 was Is
degrees: for Dece her of last year it
was 234. In the past December there
were many days when the tempera-
ture rose above forty degrees. while a
year ago, in the same month, there
was but one such day.
The whole fall season has been quite
a bit warmer than for several years,
and the fact has been taken advantage
of by the farmers of Wood county to
get wood cut and hay out and to
market.
