Tuesday before Justice Clarke a further
oh arge of arson was preferred against
him, and on this charge he was held in
bonds of $1,000 to await the action of
the county court.

WELL PLEASED
WITH OUTLOOK
Thomas Overall Co. Will be Com.
PEELED to Enlarfe Plant Soon.

The Thomas Overall factory on
First street is probably as busy place
these days, as it is possible to find in
this city. There are at the present
time twenty-eight girls at work
on the machines, and the only reason
there is not as many more, is the fact
that the present quarters are already
over taxed.
In conversation with Mr.. Schmidt,
the superintendent, recently he stated
that the company was very well
pleased with the outlook so far, and
that the only draw back that they
were experiencing was the small
quarters. If the quarters were twice
as large as the present ones they
could put on more hands, and from
their experience so far, there would
probably be no difficulty in securing
the necessary help.
A new button machine arrived at
the factory Saturday morning and
viii be installed Immediately. 1t is
the intention of the company to also
install a new cutting machine so that
this work can be done in this city.
At the present time the cutting is
done in Princeton, and the goods must
be shipped to Grand Rapids. AS the
shipment can be made to this city at
less expense than it can to Princeton,
this new machine will result in quite
a saving to the company.

NEW RATES NOW APPLY
Travellers Can Now Ride at Two
Cents Per Mile on all Roads
but G. B. { w.

All the railroads entering this city,
with the exception of the Green Bay
g. Western, began the sale of the
family mileage books, and also
granted q cent rate, at midnight
Saturday night. This was in COM
pliance with the recommendations of
the railroad rate commission.
Under the new rules which went
into effect at that time, travellers
must pay the old rate for tickets
carrying them beyond the borders OF
the state. In order to get the
advantage of the lower rate, they will
have to buy their tickets to the
station nearest to the state line, and
then leave the train and purchase
another ticket carrying them to the
destination.
The new rate will not effect special
excursion rates for they will be COM
puted on the basis of the old three
cent rate For instance if an eX-
cursion rate of fare and third is
granted at any time it will be at the
rate of three cents per mile and not
on the rate of q. This new rate will
not benefit clergymen either, as their
rate will be based upon the three
cent rate.
1t is expected, however, that the
new rate of two cents, granted by the
family mileage books will stimulate
travel and the outcome will be
watched with a great deal of interest,
by the advocates of the two cent
rates

FOUR COUNTIES
Recent Legislative Enactment
Cuts Adams County of Seventh
Judicial District.

The circuit court in Waupaca county
has been adjourned to the second
Monday in June. The criminal calen
dar was tried out but the civil jury
cases and issues of fact for court were
put over until the adjourned term.
One of the reasons for adjourning at
this time was the fact that by recent
legislative enactment, Adams county
is removed from this, the seventh cir
cult under the jurisdiction of Judge
Webb and attached to the eighteenth
district under Judge Fowler of Port
age.
The seventh district will hereafter
include Portage, Wood, Waushara and
Waupaca counties; while the eigh
teenth district will include Fond du
Lac, Green Lake, Marquette, Colum-
bia and Adams counties.

Miss Edna Muir Given Second
Place in Declamtory Contest
Last Night.

The declamatory contest for the
choice of representatives for the
larger contest to be held soon between
several High schools in this district,
was held at the Lincoln High school
Friday evening. There were eight con-
testants and every one of the eight
did excellent work; and while it was
inevitable that only three could be
awarded places, all are entitled to a
great deal of praise in the excellent
manner in which they carried out
their portion of the program.
Previous to the contest Clarence
Jackson and Bert Chose favored the
large audience with a violin duet
which is deserving of great praise.
While the judges were making their
decision the mixed quartette which
won many compliments Wednesday

sang several selections which were
very pleasing to the audience.
Miss McDill, principal Of the Stevens
Point High school; Mr.. Fish, princi-
pal of the Marshfield High Shool; and
Prof. Collins, of the Stevens Point
Normal school acted as the judges,
and places were awarded as follows:
First, Beryl Thompson, second Edna
Muir, and third to Alma Eggert.
The decision Of the judges was
literally applauded and gave general
satisfaction. The successful contes-
tants were enthusiastically congratu-
lated ,~as were also the unsuccessful,

MAY WRITE ON
ADDRESS SIDE
Postmaster Generals Recent Or.
der Boom for Souvenir Card
Business.

Hereafter, those who are afflicted
with the picture postal hobby will be
able to utilize such cards in practi-
cal way without marring the picture
thereon. An order by Postmaster
General Cortelyou which went into
effect at the beginning of this month
permits the use of half the face of a
postal card for message, leaving the
picture side untouched.
This change in the rule in regard to
the use of postai cards was suggested
by similar change by the European
postal authorities who have found
the postal card craze among tourists
a source of profit. 1t has grown to be
quite 1.-The thing to send to friends
innumerable postal cards from every
important stopping place on foreign
tour, and the people of such places
are seeing to it that there shall be no
dearth of the pictures with even more
than ''local color" The various cities
of the United States which desire a
place on the map Of the tourists
affection have followed in the course
of the tourist-fed foreign centers of
population and the postal card fad
has encircled the globe.
The new order will delight thous-
ands of young people who are engaged
in the harmless and not entirely pro-
titless work of collecting pictorial
postal cards from all parts of the
world The order is for their benefit
as they are the contributors who have
increased the postal receipts to an
extent that has recommended official
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1907-03-14

cultivation of interest in the fad.
Many collectors have gone beyond the
desire for cards with marks of travel
that do not destroy their attractive
ness by requesting their friends to in
close postal cards in protecting en-
velopes. These ultra particular hobby
riders cannot have their methods
improved and moreover they have
gone to the limits in contributing to
the payment of the cost of the postal
service.
