A CaBfuI' Of wind.

The origin of the phrase "a capful

He was credited with the useful power
OF directing the wind 10 blow where he
wished by the simple method of turn

being known as windy cap" There 10
no evidence as to whether he could reg

CITY" NOW HISTORY
Seventh Day Adventists Have
Closed Their Camp Meeting.

The ''white city, as the Adventists
camp in Woods grove has been
termed, is now a matter of history,
and one of the most successful and
enthusiastic camp meetings ever held
by that denomination is now closed.
The campers began TO leave the city
Sunday. Fully 1900 people have
attended the meetings at some time
during the two weeks session, and
there has been scarcely a time that
there was not at least LOCO people on
the ground.
The religious services Of this denom-
ination have been marked by the
fervent and sincere spirit which has
characterized this people. From early
in the morning until late at night
there has been some meeting in pro-
gress every day. Saturday-the Ad-
ventists Sabbath-the great culmi
nation of the session was reached
when hundreds of the members went
to the Wisconsin river near the Green
Bay railroad bridge where the new
converts were immersed, thus espous-
ing their new faith. While-we have
not learned the exact number who
were baptized we are informed that a
large number participated.
One of the pleasing features of this
or camp meeting, was the
genuine pleasure manifested by all
who attended, with the city of Grand
Rapids. The camping spot was ideal,
and during most of the time the wealth
er has been fine. On every hand the
campers have expressed their entire
and the fact that the
executive board decided to adopt
Grand Rapids as their central head
quarters goes long way toward ex-
pressing that satisfaction in a SUBJ
stantial way.
Before Monday evening the entire
grove was vacated and the 1907
camp meeting of the Seventh Day
Adventists is now a matter of his
tory.

MAY ORGANIZE
THE YOUNGSTERS
Prof. Bliss Would Use Juveniles
as Recruits for City Band.

Prof. Bliss is perfecting arrange
ments for the organization of a
juvenile band. Several young boys
have already applied to him for in
struction and it is altogether possible
that Grand Rapids will boast of a
Junior band within the next few
months.
In an interview with the professor
few days ago he stated that his
object in organizing such an aggre-
cation was to develop the musical
talent Of the boys, and use it as a
sort of recruiting station for the city
band. One of the greatest difficulties
met with by directors of amateure
bands is the lack of material. To in
duce players to locate in a city is not
satisfactory, as they move on to
another city as soon as their OppOr-
tunity comes. By developing local
talent time will afford enough good
players to keep the larger organization
in excellent shape.
The Grand Rapids city band is
winning high praise from everybody,
and credit for the high standard aU-
tained in the short time since its
organization is due solely to the un-
tiring efforts of Prof. Bliss. At the
present time there are twenty-siX
DieceS and no one should neglect to
taking in these concerts.

QUIT In THE SEVENTH
Tomahawk Gives Up When Score
Was IL to |.

The baseball game Sunday after
noon was all one sided. Tomahawk,
the visiting team, was not able to
even hold the boys down to a good
showing and the Grand Rapids boys
piled up twelve runs, allowing the
visitors only one. The game was
played before 1000 fans, and Mime
han gave the Tomahawk boys only
four little scattering hits. McCon-
nel's two, three base hits, were easily
the sensation and features of the
game. The little back stop seemed
to find the Tomahawk twirler when
ever he chose and pounded the sphere
into the tall timbers twice, each time
bringing in two runs.
The Tomahawk boys, aside from
their loquacious short stop, were a
well behaved gentlemanly lot of
fellows, and it is regretable that they
became so nettled over Larmie's just
decision in the seventh that they
refused TO play out the game. The
umpire motioned back their man
who cut first by five feet, but he re-
fused to obey. There was nothing to
do but call him out, and the talkative
short stop was then and there handed
a 'real lemon" This seemed to
nettle him and the bunch so thor
oughly that they left the field.
GRAND RAPIDS.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1907-09-05

Rapids in January of that year. Mar
vim, who was 20 years old at the time,
bought span of mules from Hesler,
who was 20 years old, at WeStfeld on
condition that the animals be deliv-
cred safely at Junction City. some
distance north. He and HeSler started
north with the mules and got into the
northern part of Wood county when he
killed the old man and sold the team
at a logging camp. Senator LaFollette
refused an application for pardon
four years ago. Relatives and friends
of Fenner believe that he was not
mentally responsible when he commit
ted the murder and think that he has
been adequately punished by being
imprisoned twenty years. Attorney
Henry f. Cochems, of Milwaukee,
who argued for executive clemency, ur-
ged the governor, if he could not grant
pardon, TO commute the sentence
fifty years so that the board of control
might parole the prisoner in a year or
Sc, if it so saw fit. The petition foT
pardon or Communication of sentence
was opposed by several sons and other
relatives of the murdered man who
were present at the hearing with
Attorney John A. Gaynor, of Grand
Rapids.

ROAD MAKES FINE GROWTH
Green Bay e Western Has Been
Wonderfully Improved.

In a recent issue of the Green Bay
Gazette. appeared an article very
complimentary to the Green Bay &
Western railroad. The writer of the
article evidently made trip over the
entire line for the purpose of making
notes and comparisons with a similar
trip made ten years ago, and the re-
suit Of that comparison is nothing
short of wonderful.
He has the following to say regard
ing the recent improvements to the
road
A trip over this line will disclose
the fact that the streaks of rust have
been changed into the best of steel
rails on a road bed the equal of the
finest to be found in this country.
Constant work during recent years
has lowered the steep grades, raised
entire run from Green Bay to the
Mississippi river. Plenty of gravel
helps to keep the dust down while en-
ergetic section gangs keep the entire
right of way free from weeds and
looking neat and clean.
One of the notable Improvements
made on this line is the matter of
culverts and trestles. The old fash
ioned framework and piles of wood
have been abandoned, owing to their
constant rotting and the ease with
which they can be washed out, thus
causing frequent wrecks In their
place are being put structures of solid
masonry and iron, guaranteeing a
safety to the travelling public which
could be secured in no better way.

NO MILITARY COMPANY
Grand Rapids Young Men Meet
With Disappointment.

W. E. Lyon, who has been conduct
ing the work of organizing a military
company for Grand Rapids, has just
received letter from the Adjutant
General of the state in which he an
nounceS the fact that there is no
hopes to be held out at the present
time to independent companies for
admission to the National Guards.
This means suspension of the efforts
of young men in this city to organize
such company, as there would be
no inducements TO hold out
for the hard work necessary to
bring company of men up to
high standard. The announcement
will come as a great disappointment
to the young men who were anxious
to Lave such company organized in
Grand Rapids.
