Harvest Sonf

On the wide FURNISHED nelds
Melts the summers ore.
And the autumn's glory yields
1mmemOrial lore:
Deafness cycles Of the year
Whirl the seasons round,
Whether human hearts be here,
Or beneath the ground.
Grapes are purpling in peace,
AS of yore they hung
In the vineyards of old Greece,
When the world was young;
Apples of Hesperides
In the orchards CLEAN,
To entice some Hercules
OF poetic dream.
So the tide Of life endures-
WaXes-wanes and falls.
While earth'S mystery immureS
Souls in mortal walls:
Still to JOY my heart will cling,
What though winter come.
l have heard the throstle sing,
And the brown bees hum. .

We still have one or two men
in this community who stand
around on the street corners
and from morning until night
complain about the town, their
neighbors, their taxes and the
weather. Such men are mighty
common clay and it is fortunate
we have so few of them. Such
men are of no use to the town,
their families or their God. They
seem to live but no one can tell
how. Like mosquitoes and flies.

HAVE LET TWO CONTRACTS
Work on the New Sulphite Plant
at Port Edwards will be Begun
at an Early Date.

II. w. Stebbins with the firm of
the Stebbins Engineering & Mfg.
Co., of Watertown, N. Y, has been
in the city the past week and Sc
cured the contract for furnishing
the complete acid system for the
new sulphite plant to be erected at
Port Edwards. The firm of Jacob
son & DeGuere with H. w. Steb-
bins acting as consulting chemical
engineer, are drawing the plans
and specification for this new plant.
They are pushing the work as
rapidly as possible so that the
foundation walls and construction
of the new plant can be COM
menced Immediately.
VIM. J. Hess representing the
Manitowoc Boiler Works was here
this week and secured the
contract to furnish three large
digesters to be ID feet in diameter,
and AZ feet long, to be placed in
the new sulphite plant at Port
Edwards.
Messrs. G. F. Steele, 7. E. Nash
and L. M. Alexander are busy
these days consulting and placing
the contracts that are going to
enter into the construction of the
sulphlte plant in which they are
heavy stockholders.
The new sulphite plant we
understand is to be of sixty tons
capacity and will be modern and
up-to-date in all its details.

Moved by Mr.. Hooper that tie re-
port of the Committee on public pro-
perty be adopted and bills allowed as
read. Carried.
To the Honorable the County Board
of Wood county, Wisconsin.
Gentlemen:--I respectfully call your
attention to the necessity of meeting
certain requirements in the office of
the County Judge of this county, re-
fer to the fact that the filing space
and shelf room in the vault in this
office is wholly inadequate to answer
the present demands in this respect,
and while it may not be necessary to
obtain authority from the county
board to make provisions to meet such
demands, yet / desire to have you pass
upon the matter before undertaking
the work and having the county incur
the expense and to this end have de-
layed this step until the present meet
ing of your board. The blanks as
printed in some of the books which
have been in use here for some years
past do not now conform to the law as
changed since the same were printed,
yet l have been uSeing the same with
the idea Of avoiding the necessity of
storing them away and not putting
them to any use, but at the present
time most of them have been filled
and l am now preparing set of
blanks, which will answer the de-
mands of the Office and render the
records much more serviceable and
enable me or any incumbent of the
Office to keep them in much better
form, an. additional blank case will be
rp0uire1 and &C above indicated Soma
new filing cases and new books with
some other additions in the matter of
interior arrangement Of the office. |
would therefore request that your
board make such investigation of the
requirements of this office as you may
see lit and pass the proper resolution

CITY TEAM VS..
HANKS COLTS

The game OF base ball which
was played on the Fair grounds
Sunday afternoon between the
City Team and Hanks Colts,
resulted in a victory for the
kids" by a score of 7 to 4. The
vlctors played a clean and
snappy game of ball, but the
work of the city team was
spiritless and ragged. Whether
or not their work was the best
of which they are capable many
are unable to say, but as a
matter of fact there are many
first class local players outside
Of what is known as the city
team. Hetzel who held the slab
for the city team, pitched a very
good game and blanked a large
number of men. He was poorly
supported, however, and was
therefore unable to make a
creditable showing for the team.
Farmer, the Nationals pitcher
twirled for the colts and was
always calm, and although he
failed to strike out as many men
as Hetzel, the heaviest batters OF
the City team were unable to
get more than in6eld hits, and
these were ineffective owing to
the snappy playing which
backed him. Farmer although
young at the game has demon
strated his ability to fool the
best stick men in this city.
