JOHN H. ROEMER
APPOINTED
Milwaukee Lawyer Will Succeed
Chairman Barnes.

Gov. Davidson Friday afternoon
appointed John III. Roemer of Milwau-
kee to fill the vacancy oH the railroad
rate commission caused by the resig-
nation of John Barnes. While the
governor made the appointment of
Mr.. Foemer quite hurriedly after re-
ceiying notice of the declination of
the place by B. r. Goggins of Grand
Rapids, the appointment was by no
means made without consideration
and ample evidence OF the high stand
ing of Mr.. ROemer at the bar in Mil
waukee. He was endorsed by large
number of the lawyers of Milwaukee,
including three judges, w. D. Tar
rant, ]. G. Ludwig and L. w. Halsey.
Mr.. Roemer is now member of the
board of regents of normal schools.
He is Democrat and man OF ma
turity and experience and it was indi-
Gated in his endorsements that he is a
man Of well known integrity and in
dustry. Many kilograms were re
ceived by the GO 7ernor in support Of
D. d. Conway OF Grand Rapids, and
some also favoring other men.

Mr.. SANDERSON'S HOTEL
HAD NARROW ESCAPE

Hotel Calumet was the scene of a
fire about seven O'Clock Friday
morning, which for short time
threatened to do serious damage to
that fine structure. Fortunately
however, the blaze was brought under
control before getting beyond the con-
fines of the boiler room where it
originated, and consequently the loss
is only nominal
Within few minutes after the fire
was out, everything in the hotel was
running as usual. Despite the delay
occasioned by the fire and its attend
ant excitement, the hotel people COM
menced serving breakfast just seven
minutes later than usual, and through
out the day the hotel service was up
to the customary high standard. All
of this speaks well of Mr.. Sanderson's
ability as manager and the efficiency
of his help.-Daily Star (Pipestone,
| Minn.)
The many Wood County friends
will be pleased to know that no more
serious results came to Manager

The Prospects for . Good Agri.
culture Show are BriEht.

The county fair is less than three
weeks away, and while everything is
being done by Secretary Pankow to
make it success in every way, the
public in general is a.ked to lend a
helping hand. From assurances given
US by the secretary, the list of free and
paid attractions already secured are of
the best quality, and bound to please.
A citizens meeting was held last week
to arrange for an industrial and flower
parade to take place, no doubt, on
Thursday of fair week. If. entered
into in the right spirit by our business
men and ladies it will prove a fea-
ture of the fair. 0. G. Lindemann,
FL. G. Hambright and Fred Pollard
were elected a committee to solicit
exhibitors; E E. Ames, Geo. W. Up
ham and NJ. P. Carney, a committe on
arrangements, and Robert Connor,
Mrs. FL. A. Lathrop, Mrs. G. E. Blod-
gett, Mrs. Geo. w. Upham and Mrs.
Frank Troeh, committee on floral
parade. Two games of ball are pro-
missed, the Elks' team volunteering to
entertain visiting team from Wau-
paca and one from Grand Rapids. At
present there are dozen more good
horses at the race track getting in
shape for fast work, and lovers of that
sport will have the pleasure of wit
Messing some good trials of speed.
Exhibitors also seem to be awakening
to the fact that the fair will soon be
here, and as the harvest will be COM
pleted by that time there is no reason
why there should not be many speci-
mems gathered from the present
bounteous harvest. The famous
Second Regiment band, feature in
itself, will furnish music for the week
and there will be a balloon ascension
each day by the renowned Belmont
sisters, who have appeared in this
city on former occasions, giving COM
plete satisfaction.-Mar News.

FAVORABLE TO AN ASYLUM
Committee May Recommend
Erection OF Institution.

The committee appointed by the
County Board to ascertain the adviSa-
bility of the esta abliShment of a county
asylum for Wood County, mas visited
a number OF aSylumS in this state. and
have gathered a great deal of infor-
nation which tends to strengthen the
idea of building such an institution
for this county. 1t is probable, al
though it is not known detinately,
that the committee which consists of
Geo. w, Brown, E. NJ. Deming, and
Geo. Rowland, will recommend to the
county board at its next session that
such an institution be established.
This committee has visited the
asylums in Waupaca, Jefferson and
Rock counties, and they found that
some of these were self sustaining
while one was paying small interest
on tie investment. They also found
that from 500 acres, to whole section
OF land would have To be purchased,

people to be 200.
If the village has been increasing in
population during the past two years
at the same rate as in the preceding
ten years, there should now be 137
more people here than i'm 1905, total
of 1896 in the village, which added to
the 305 in the outlying territory would
amount TO 154l. If the population
has been increasing as fast as during
the five years preceding 1905, in
which year the state census showed a
population of 1899, when the popula-
tion was 745, the number now in the
village should be 142 more than in
1905, or 1241, which added to the 305
in the annexed territory would give
the ''city'' population of 1546-

POTOWATOMIES PAID OFF
Pittsyille Alive with Red Men
Wednesday, july 3lSt.

The writer in company with T. j..
and Guy R. Wood, and Carl Winger
enjoyed an automobile "trip from
Grand Rapids to Pittsville and return
on Wednesday of last week. We left
here at $50 A. VI. and reached Pitts
vile little before eleven o'clock. We
spent several hours in Pittsville CALI
ing upon the business men of that city,
and were present during part of the
time that Geo. L. Williams, the agent
of the Nemaha Indian Reservation, in
Kansas, paid to each Indian S34S.59.
The Indian, unlike the white man,
was not only Indifferent to the receipt
of this money but it was necessary to 20
out and round them up and coax them
into the office where they were paid.
1t is estimated that about $3.50 was
paid to these Red Men Wednesday and
this will undoubtedly be spent in
PittSville, Arpin, and that vicinity.
This trip was delightful one
which was greatly enjoyed by the
writer, and we were greatly surprised
to see the great Improvements that
have been made in that part of Wood
County in the last ten years. In pass.
ing the old saw mill sites, three or four
in number, We were simply astounded
at the excellent crop of grain, hay, corn
etc. that is now being produced where
