INJURED AT PAPER MILL
Young Man Named Whitr0ck May
Die From Effects of Injuries.

Shortly before noon last Thursday,
young man named Geo. Whitrock son
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Whitrock was badly
injured at the Consolidated paper
mill. Just how serious the injury is,
is not known at this writing, but we
have been informed that his recovery
is looked for
Whitrock was been employed as
a skinner boy''. 1t seems that
the pulp is conveyed down an incline
leading from the wet room to the
beater room the car sliding down the
incline by its own weight. In
some manner he missed his footing
and fell underneath the car. Con-
tinuing to hold to the car as he did,
he was jammed into the pulp at the
end of the incline, and also up against
the side of the building. The force
of the impact caused his more seri-
Gus injuries.

SPRING JUST TEN
DAYS LATER

Many people will be interested to
know that this spring opened just ten
days later than last year. According
to the record kept by Mr.. Mahoney,
the opening of spring is reckoned from
the plum blossoms, and it is estab-
lished, that these trees were just ten
days later this year then they were in
1906 1t is said that the time for
corn planting is when the plum trees
are in blossom.
1t is also interesting to note that
the temperature has averaged just 10
degrees lower this year during the
month Of May, than it did during a
corresponding period last year.

]. ANDREWS KILLED
BY ST. PAUL TRAIN
Circumstances Indicate That the
Man Was Either Asleep or Un.
conscious on the Track at the
Time Accident Occurred.

james Andrews, said to reside in
the city of Stevens Point. in some
mysterious manner was killed in the
village of Rudolph Thursday evening
by ST. Paul railway train. just how
the accident occurred is not known but
from the circumstance surrounding
the case it would appear that he was
lying or sitting on the railway track,
some time during the night either
asleep or unconscious. While he
was in this position one OF the
trains running over this track struck
and killed him. The body was not
discovered until Friday morning, when
it was reported to the coroner, and
Justice B. l.. Brown of this city was
called to impannel jury. 1t is stated
that the remains were so badly mang-
led that they were almost unrecog-
niZable.
The remains we're brought to this
city on the afternoon train, and were
taken to the undertaking parlorS of j.
R. Ragan where they were prepared
for burial.
In commenting on this fatality the
Stevens Point Journal has the follow
ing to say:
The deceased was born in Linwood
and was 28 years old on Oct. 20, last.
He married Miss Josephine Tefeau at
Rudolph about II years ago and leaves
her widow with one little daughter,
aged 8. He is survived by his parents
and by three brothers and five sisters.
They are Mrs. Saul Goodin, of Lin
wood, Mrs. Joseph Sheppreaux, of this
city, Mrs. Adolph Shaureete, of Lin
wood, Louis Andrews. of Sartell, Mimi,
David, Mrs. Thomas Dixon, Miss Pearl
and Frank, all of this. city. Miss
Pearl, who is employed as an expert
lining cutter in the shoe factory at
Fond du Lac, has been very seriously

| in that city. Her mother has been
with her since Wednesday but is ex-
pected home tonight. Mrs. Dixon

GAVE MISS BUNDY
DELIGHTFUL SHOWER

An enjoyable social event was the
miscellaneous shower" given by Mrs.
E. J. Clark in honor of Miss Lydia
Bundy. About twenty-five ladies were
present and the gifts were many and
varied, including the useful as well
as the ornamental.
Each guest had been requested to
write an appropriate sentiment des-
cribing the gift, and the entertain,
ment consisted of reading the senti-
ments and guessing the nature of the
gift from them.
Miss Briere guessed the greatest
number and was awarded Swastica
stick pin as a prize. Dainty refresh
mentS were served.
AS the guests departed they united
in expressing best wishes for Miss
Bundy's future happiness.

ABOUT THE MAGAZINES
Just What The Outcome of Nes0-
tiati0ns Will Be We Are I'm.
able TO Tell.

In September 1906 we made a con-
tract with the American Mutual
Newspaper Association, of Chicago,
for magazines section to use in con-
nection with our daily and weekly
issues, for period of one year with
the privilege of two, the magazines
to cost US three dollars per thousand.
They furnished US this magazine for
a period of three months at that rate,
when they notified US that they could
not do it any longer at that price, but
would want eight dollars per thou
sand instead. We told them that we
would expect them to live up to their
contract. They notified US that they
could not and would have to fail uH-
less we would make the price.
They then decided that they thought
that they could furnish them at six
dollars per thousand. We told them
that we could not furnish the maya
zines to our readers, including the
postage thereon, for the subscription
price that we were charging.
We then asked them to furnish US
the magazine for our.dailylpublication
and cut cut the weekly, and we would
pay the price per thousand. They
now refuse to furnish our allotment
for the daily, unless we include the
weekly, even at the advanced price.
The matter at present is in the hands
of our attorney in Chicago, and just
what the outcome will be is doubtful.
If we cannot procure the magazine
we will try some other concern, or
furnish some other premium instead.
All we ask is that our readers be
patient until this matter can be
settled one way or the other.
We are sorry that this has happened
but it is no fault of ours. A report
from Dunn & Co. on this company is
not any too fiattering.
Yours Resp't.

is FOR THE
RESERVOIR BILL
State Forester E. NJ. Griffits Be.
lieyes Bill Should Pass.

State Forester E. M. GriffithS, who
has had much to do with the amend
ing of the bill providing for the con-
struction of reservoirs at the head
waters of the Wisconsin river by a
private company, believes that the
bill in its present amended form
should pass. In an interview today
he said that careful reading of the
proposed measure should dispel the
fear that the health of the state will
be endangered. Referring to the
Free Press editorial on the bill this
morning Mr. Griffiths said:
"The Free Press seems to fear that
the passage of the bill will endanger
the healthfulness of that portion of
the state by overlooking large areas,
than drawing off the water and eX-
posing large areas of mud to the full
effects of the sun. The Free Press is
undoubtedly honest in fearing that
such a condition may be brought
about, but careful perusal of the
bill will show that such is not the
case, as section provides thatr~the
state board of forestry shall decide
where reservoirs are to be constructed,
the height of the same, amount of
land to be overflowed, and also super
wise the times and extent to which
the water shall be drawn from the re-
servoirs.
"The Wisconsin Valley Improve
ment Company las consented in this
bill to the most complete supervision
by the state, and there is very little
danger that the state board of forestry
would ever allow the water to be
drawn from the reservoirs in such a
manner as to either ruin the beauty
of the lakes, or to endanger the
health of the residents. The editorial
mentions the fact that the New York
state board of health felt that there
was reason back of the theory, but
the conditions in New York state are
not the same, for so far, it has
not been proposed that any state
board should have the right to super
wise the times and extent to which
| the water be drawn.
"As Wisconsin has no coal every
one familiar with her water powers
must concede that they will be of un-
told value to the state in the future,
provided the head waters are pro-
tected so that the stream flow can be
depended upon. There are two ways
| in which the head waters can be pro-
tected, and the stream flow made
fairly uniform, one day by the crea-
tion of forest reserves under the con-
troll of the state, which is being done,
and the other by building reservoirs
which will supplement the forest re.

giving it off during the dry months
when it is most needed. With over
l, 400 lakes in the northern part of the
state, many of which are admirably

MUST WEIGH
ALL THE MAIL
Local Office Will Be Kept Busy
For Six Months.

Postmaster A. L. Fontaine has Just
received instructions that beginning
with July first, all incoming and out
going mail, must be weighed at the
local office. This weighing is to ex-
tend over period of six months, and
each Class must be weighed separately
and an exact record made of the same.
This is a new departure in the pos
tai service, the weighing periods last
ing only thirty days heretofore. 1t
can readily be seen what this new
order will mean to the local office in
the way Of extra work.

SOME QUEER OCCUPATIONS
Census Report Gives Interesting
Facts.

The census bureau has just issued
report showing that in the United
States, exclusive of Alaska. Hawaii
and other outlying territories, there
are 4.533,6 $50 women at work. The
total number of women 16 years of
age and over in continental United
States in 1900 was 3,485, $50, which
makes one woman in every five a
breadwinner. OF the number re-
ported as divorced, 55.3 per cent were
supporting themselves wholly or in
part by their own earnings. 1t has
been suggested that the increase of
divorce is partly attributed to the
more Independent economic position
of women.
Domestic service, Notwithstanding
the increased diversity of employ
ments for women, remains the most
important of the occupations, almost

NO CHANGE IN
ITS BUSINESS METHODS

Declaring the Standard Oil company
to be just as sinister in its business
methods and as defiant of the laws of
the country as at any time in its history
Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of
corporations, has transmitted to the
president an exhaustive report on
this giant corporation, its history, its
present business organization and its
attitude toward the law.
1t is the most scathing arraign-
ment the Standard has yet received,
excepting the famous message of the
president to congress dealing with the
same subject.

A WORD TO
MAIL-ORDER BUYERS

When you are tempted to send your
money to mail-order houses hundreds
of miles, away take their catalogues to
your local merchants and see what
they can do in matching their prices.
Bring their samples, too. if you have
any, and compare the quality OF their
goods with what your local merchant
can show you.
We know that in the majority OF
cases you can at least save mail and
express charges by trading at home.
Besides you have the pleasure of ex-
amining all goods before buying. This
may save you much disappointment.
