Lutheran church at 2 O'Clock, Rev.
Mack officiating. | n r m n t
took place in Forest Hill cemetery.
Mrs. Elizabeth Eberhardt was born
in Kirdorf, Germany, June "A, 1S41,
and was therefore &C years old at the
time of her death Wednesday noon.
She came to America in 1867 and re-
sided in Milwaukee until 1876 when
she moved with her husband to the
town of Grand Rapids, where they
continued to live until they moved to
this city about eight years ago. She

three children. They are: William
Schweikert. of Brooklyn, N. Y; Mrs.
Mike Dusel, of Amherst; and Fred
Eberhardt, who resides with his
parents.
Mrs. Eberhardt was a kind mother
highly respected neighbor, and a
faithful Christian woman who gave
much of her leisure time to the work
of the church of which she was a
member, and especially to the Ladies
Aid society of that church. She will
be greatly missed by her family and g
large circle of friends.

WAUSAU ELECTRIC LINE
A MONEY MAKER

The WauSau Street Railroad Co. has
filed a report with the city clerk, as
the law requires, showing the receipts
Of the company since it started busi-
ness about seven months ago. The
company pays . per cent tax on its
earnings, the same being divided be-
tween The city. town Of Weston and
village of Scbotield, according to the
mileage in each. Fhe report shows
that in the sh tt time the company has
been Going business it has received the
remarkably large sum of SlS,902. Ia,
hich is a surprisingly strong showing
for new road, with only 5,3S miles of
line in operation.
The first car passed over the line
alb ut M, q, but cars did not begin to
run regularly until about June 1St
Ever since that time there has been a
steady patronage and on some days,
notable circus, base ball and fair days,
the traffic was SO heavy that the COM
pany's employees found difficulty in
handling it. All doubt as to the line
being paying one has vanished.
Miss Catherine Briere entertained a
number of her friends at her home on
Third street Friday evening.

JOHN KOHL EDITOR

We have just read in paper pub
lished at Belfry, Montana, that John
Kohl, former employee at the News,
in addition to managing a newspaper
at that places, instructor of class in
dancing. John Kohl teaching dancing
sounds as strange to US as would the
elopement of wax figure with a
wooden Indian. Bless the day when
Johns feet could be made to do the
clog or minuet. He can make any
thing in printing office, from a can
of paste to a cylinder press, but we

LA TOILETTE
In THE EAST
Geo. W. Paulus Finds Strong
Sentiment on Recent Tour.

George ". Paulus. we'll known
business man Of the city. who has just
returned from the east, says that he
found an unexpected amount of senti-
meat in New York, New Jersey and
Ohio for the nomination of LaFollette
for pres dent.
In New Jersey. he said, the people
all seemed to know La Toilette and
the senator's campaign in that state
had evidently made great impression
on the rank and file of the people.
"The surprising thing, however,"
he said, twas the fact that neither
Foraker nor'Taft is rated very strong
by the PEOPLE of Ohio. One well in
formed Republican there expressed
the opinion that in a popular vote in
his state, La Toilette would lead all
candidates, even Foraker and Taft.
Gall through the east l found a
strong impression that La Toilette
would be a determining factor in the
next Republican presidential conte t,

convention. Milwaukee Free Pre- 5,

sent. The announcement called up
on all who could afford to do so t.
contribute to this good work, and the
call was more than literally re
sponded too. The effort Of the lob
server" also created a sentiment,
which extended the good work. 1t is
estimated that fully forty people,
mostly children, were made happy
through the "Observer's'' efforts alone
and the people who contributed 50
literally are to be commended
In conversation with th9 lob
server Thursday, the representa-
tive of the REPORTER expressed sur
prise that so many needy were found
in the city. In response he stated:
This is not at all surprising
Every city has its needy, and these
are usually the result of shiftlessness

weeks old. All live in a one room

vided save the loft, where the little

apparent. that cleanliness under such
conditions is not a part Of the living.
"One other case that came to my
attention Wednesday and was accom-
panied by sad conditions, was that of
an old lady. When | presented her

WISCONSIN
CHEESE MAKERS
Sixteenth Annual Convention at
Milwaukee.

! The sixteenth Annual convention
of the Wisconsin Cheese Makers As.
Sociatiou. the largest organization OF
its kind in the world, will be held in
the city of Milwaukee, at the Re
publican House, on January s, 9 and
TO- For the three days session an
unusually interesting program has
been prepared. 1t will be educational
in its way, and discussions on the
most improved methods 81 cneese
| making, domestic and foreign. and
allied subjects will be important
features of the convention. Speakers
of national reputation have been en-
gagged at considerable expense to ad-
dress the meeting, and men who are
continuallyeXperimenuing and inveSti-
eating along dairy lines will be heard.
The object of the association is the
education OF its members for better
work in the art Of making cheese,
both foreign and domestic. The care
and management Of factories. the sale
of their products, and the wedding out
of incompetency in the business of
cheeSemaking. A further object Of
the association is to demand a
Thorough revision aud rigid enforce
ment.of such laws as will protect the
manufacturer of honest dairy pro-
ducts against Undue competition from
deceitful and dangerous limitations
and to unite the rank and file of its
members in instituting regular
cruSade~against the unjust practice Of
pooling milk at cheese factories by
weight without regard to the butter
fat which it contains. No branch of
agriculture in the state has maze
greater progress than the cheese max
ing industry during the past year. 1t
is rapidly becoming speciality of dis
tricts of wide area in northern Wis
couSin.
In connection with the convention
there will be splendid cheese eX-
hibit with the competition open to
the world.

STAMP SLOT MACHINES

If the plans now under ccnSidera-
tion by the federal postal authorities
in Washington are carried out every
postoffice in the United States will be
equipt with an ingenious device for
the purpose of stamp vending. The
government is now conducting expert
ments with the new machine, which
in style is similar to that of the or
binary slot machine now in general
use as a purveyor of various articles.
The various denomination of stamps
may be procured by depositing coin
in the slot corresponding to the stamp
required and by the release of lever.
Ii the device is adopted by the pos
tai department the work of the stamps
departments in the postoffices through
out the country is expected to be
greatly lessened.

BUSINESS WAS GOOD
Merchants Wear Satisfied !
Smile.

1t would take good deal of space,
and yet not serve any particular pur-
pose, should the REPORTER quote in
dividually each business man who has
expressed himself in regard to the
matter Of holiday trade. Each and
every one of them make the same
expression, and over the face of each
one comes very pleased smile as he
responds to the query: "How was
trade this year, during the holidays?'
"Better than it was last year, re-
sponded one we'll known merchant,
yes, far better than last year. There
never was day when the receipts, or
sales, reached the single high marx
day of last year, but the business was
more steady, and extended oyer a
longer period Of time. This / think
was due in some degree to the exhor-
tions Of the REPORTER, to trade early
in the week and day. The ruShes
were fewer and farther between, but
the total business done during the
period we call holiday period, was
quite little larger than last year.
"The times were a little unpro-
pitious TO begin with, and many Of
the merchants were trifie frightened
least they have large amount Of
goods to carry over. At first it was
feared that the cash trade would be
smaller, and the credit business much
larger, but 1 think every merchant in
the city of Grand Rapids will bear out
my statement, that this did not prove
true, and as near as / can ascertain,
the business of each one was satis-
factory anG larger than it was last
year."

Federation TO APPOINT
CHARITY COMMITTEE

The REPORTER has been Informed
that it is the intention of the FEEDER
ated Womens clubs to appoint a
charity committee some time after
New Years, to look after and aid the
charitable work in this city.
During the Christmas days this
year it has been shown that there is
plenty of work for such a committee
even in the most prosperous times,
and therefore the departure, or ad-
dition, contemplated by the Fedora
tion, will have it's place in the public
work in Grand Rapids.

LEAP YEAR VERY SOON
RashfuI Grand Rapids SWANS
Soon To Have a Chance.

An extraordinary crop of brides and
grooms is promised for the year 1908.
when Cupid viii run rampant o'er
the land. And all this because the
year is divisible by four, and Febru-
airy will have 30 days instead of %.
These trifiing causes will contribute
to the great result giving the ladies
a license which is denied them in
other years. and assisting the willing
but bashful swain whose modesty will
not permit them to pop" the all
important question, in just that de-
gree.
Every year in which the number is
divisible by four without remainder,
is leap year; excepting the centesi-

NAL years, such as 100, 1900 and 1900,
and these must be diyisible by 400 or
they are not provided with the extra
day which distinguishes leap year
from common year.
The word ''bissextile" is applied to
leap year. Bissextile means contain
ing an intercalary day, and is taken
from the words IBIS" meaning twice,
and ''seXtus, sixth; the 9Th of the
calends of March, according to Roman
reckoning, or the 24th day of Febru-
airy being counted twice every four
years. This gives February an extra
day according to our computation,
and the year 366 days.
And so beginning with the early
season Of 1908, the matrimonial mar
ket is expected to boom in Grand
Rapids as elsewhere throughout such
CIVILIZED countries as limit the preo-
gative of proposing matrimony to the
male sex. But of all days in the bis
sextile year, the 29th of February is
Seemed to be the most auspicious for
