KILLED FIRST
CAR OF HOGS
Reiland Packing Plant Opened
For Business Jan. 29th.

The new Reiland Packing plant De-
gan active work on Jan. 29th when
it killed its first carload of hogs. These
hogs were shipped in here from the
Trempeleau valley.
Thus Grand Rapids sees the begin
ming of an industry which promises a
great deal for the city, and it is only
question of time when the full capa-
city Of this excellent new plant viii
be used to the fullest extent.
The location of a packing plant in
this city is timely and logical. Ship
ping facilities are the very best, and
the territory for miles around can be
drawn on readily, as there is no othei
Institution of the kind within large
radis. Heretofore it has been neces-
sary for all stock raiSers to ship TO the
Chicago markets, but the opening o1
the Reiland plant means reduced
freight charges to them, and a handy
market for their stock.

A GREAT AND RARE TREAT
Band Concert Thursday Night
One OF the Best Ever Had.

The Grand was packed Thursday
evening, the occasion being the popular
evening concert by the Grand Rapids
city band under the leadership of
Prof. f. l.. Bliss.
The program arranged for Thursday
night W as perhaps one of the very best
I OF the entire program, although it is
promised that the next number will
prove even more of a treat than those
past.
The cornet duet by >Messrs Bliss
and L. j. Peyruse was perhaps one of
the best selections on the program.
The ease with which these two COR
netists play together, as well as the
charming selections backed by an ex-
cellent band accompaniment, was very
pleasing to the large crowd. They
were compelled to respond the second
time.
ga Nights Frolic'', description of
the gathering of friends and the con
sequent joviity which extended into
the early morning hours, was another
number which came as fitting close
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1908-02-06

to the first half of the program. This
selection was rendered more pleasing
because of the vocal q9artette work
behind the curtains.
March, Down the Line" one of
Prof. Biss's own compositions is alway
a favorite with the crowd, and as a
curtain raiser for the second half of
the program, it was admirably
rendered and enthusiastically re-
ceiyed,
The tuba solo, ''Down in the Deep"
played by j. A. Lucier, was enthusi-
astically applauded, and MIR. Lucier
was compelled to respond with
Rocked In the Cradle of the Deep. y
The selection from the Bohemian
Girl, especially the cornet solo by
Prof. Bliss, ''You'll Remember Me"
seemed to strike responsive chord in
the audience, and the applause was
long and enthusiastic.
This organization of musicians is
indeed a credit to the city and the
director. 1t is composed of 81 men, all
local musicians. This is an organiza-
tion hard to duplicate in any city in
the state of Wisconsin. Those people
who have failed to attend the con-
certs aregreatly the losers.

burning girl his own night clothing
caught on fire and before help could
arrive he was badly burned about the
abdomen and other portions of the
body.
While DIR. Pomainville was en-
deavoring to save the life of Miss
Goosman, the nurse wrapped the
baby up. and with only cloak thrown
over her shoulders and rubbers on her
feet, Mrs. Pomainville was hurried to
the home of Mrs. Frank Pomainyille,
Sr., where later they were joined by
DR.. Pomainville and Miss Goosman.
Drs. Hougan and Frank Pomain-
vile, Jr, were called and everything
possible was done for the sufferers,
but all their efforts were unavailing.
Miss Goosman died about two O'Clock
in the afternoon and DIR. Charles Po-
mainville succumbed to his terrible
burns, about three o'clock Monday
morning.
DIR. Charles Pomainville was one of
the prominent young dentists of this
CITY, He was married to Miss Mamie
DAILY, daughter of Mrs. John DAILY, a
little over year ago. -Four weeks
ago little boy was born to them.
and the mother who is at the present
time very low as result of the
terrible ordeal of Sunday morning
was in very delicate condition as a
result.
Miss Martha Goosman, the un-
fortunate servant, was about sventeen
years old, and her home is near Ste
vens Point, Her body was taken to the
undertaking parlors of j. &. Ragan
where it S prepared for shipment.
The damage to the house as a 1e-
suit of the explosion and fire is said to
be slight. AS soon as the alarm was
sounded the departments responded,
and the thorough soaking Of water,
soon eXtinguished the blaze which
was threatening to consume the
house.

tral Wisconsin State Fair association
of this city, will be held on Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
August 25. 26, q and %, 1908.
In fixing the date the present man.
agement of the association was in
fiuenced largely by the exceptional
success of last years fair held on the
corresponding days of 1907 The early
date has been found of great adyan-
tage in securing good races for moder-
ate purses, disposing of show privi-
leges to good companies and generally
promoting a frst-class exhibition.
Last year was several weeks later than
a normal season and threshing and
other farm work was greatly delayed,
but Notwithstanding these drawbacks
the fair attendance was excellent and
the interest of the farmers was aroused
as never before,-Marshtield Times.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1908-02-06

the time the alarm was sounded the
real terror had past, and it remained
only for time to claim in death, the
two most prominent actors in this
real tragedy of life: Miss Martha
Goosman and DR.. Charles Pomainville.
The former lived only a few hours,
dying at two O'Clock Sunday after
noon, while the latter passed away
Monday morning at three O'Clock.
The real sorrow did not even stop at
this place, for Mrs. Charles Pomaln-
vile, who has been i'll for some time
past, is now confined to her bed,
as a result of the terrible shock and ex-
posure, while the little baby, who was
to have been baptised Sunday in
the presence cf both the father and
mothers families, is unharmed. The
story is sad one, and all Crane
Rapids is truly sorrowing with The
surviving members of the family.
1t seems that Miss Martha Coos
man. Utlo SOINduU Ill Uilc llOuIO VI Ii
and Mrs. Charles Pomainville, arose
early, to prepare the breakfast which
was to begin day Of joy and thanks
giving. By some error of judgment
she endeavored to light the fire by the
use of gasoline, and in moment the
oil exploded and her clothing was on
fire. Bewildered and at loss to know
the right, she rushed into Mr. and
Mrs. Pomainyille's room. In doing
so she set firing to the bedding in the
baby's crib, and it was in tearing OF
this burning clothing that Mrs. Po-
mainville burned her hand.
Realizing the danger to the other
occupants of the house. and deter
mi ned to save Miss Goosman ii
possible, the doctor grabbed her in his
arms and rushed out into the snow
where he rolled her over and over.

SOME BIG WOLVES
IN IRON COUNTY

Lawyer E. VI. Deming recently re-
turned from Iron county where he
had been to look over some timber
land. Mr.. Deming is not as familiar
with the forests and the wild beasts
that inhabit them as was Daniel
Boone, and the stories told him by
one of the natives that accompanied
him, concerning wolves. was enough
to send chill up the back of a braver
man than Mr.. Deming. AS they
walked through the woods wolf signs
were plenty and the conversation
naturally turned to these animals.
His companion said they were never
known to be so plentiful as this win
ter, that they now went in droves and
would kill deer as easy as cat
would kill mouse. He said some of
the largest weighed 200 pounds. 1t
was not long after this that they
heard the howl of one and that's
when the Marshtield man imagined
every object he saw was a hungry
wolf the size of yearling steer

XMAS TREES
THING OF PAST
Ii State Follows Recommends
ton OF Pulp Men.

A bill is to be introduced in the next
legislature prohibiting the cutting of
young spruce trees in the state.
The paper and pulp manufacturers
are behind the measure and it is be-
lieved when the matter is fully ex.
planned there will be no opposition
whatever to the bill.
The wood suitable for pulp and paper
is fast disappearing.
A local pulp manufacturer took a
trip through the northern part of
Wisconsin last fall and saw thousands
of acres of young spruce trees, from a
to 10 and 20 feet high. Last week he
passed the same place and not one of
those little trees was standing. The
trees had been cut and shipped by
the train load to Mifwau kee. Chicago,
Detroit and other cities for Christmas
trees. They were sold at from 25
cents 10 81 each while had they been
left standing a few years they would
have been worth 100 times more.
