AN EXCELLENT EXHIBITION
Display of Feathered Creatures
at Grand, Especially Attract
i've.

Tuesday was the opening day of the
Central Wisconsin Poultry & Pet
Stock show at the Grand Opera house.
For several days arrangements have
been in progress, and during the last
three or four days birds from all Sec
lions Of the United States have been
arriving.
1t is truly wonderful to see the
variety of breeds, and the display of
color among the birds on exhibition.
Each pen seems to be especially at
tractive to the occupants, and if
possible each bird seems on it's best
behavior and apparently is aware of
the fact that it is there to be locked
at.
The management has not only
taken care to safeguard all exhibits,
but the display has been 50 arranged
that the comfort Of all visitors is a.
sured. Order and business IS character
istic OF he whole exhibition, and any
one who fails to visit the Grand dur
ing the four days show, will be the
loo er.
AS compared to the exhib ton hrld
in the Wood County National bank
building last year, the present ex-
hibllion is far ahead, both in number
of birds on show and in every manner
pt ssh OF comparison. The interest
manifested this year is much greater
and 10 consequ, nee the exhibit is a
much finer one.

DREDGES NOW
ON THE MARSH

Five car loads of heavy machinery
for work on the Dancy drainage canal
arrived at Sherry the past week and
will be taken AT once to Rice Lake by
team, the distance being about three
and a half miles. This consignment
constitutes the machinery for the
smaller of the two dredgeS. the larger
one to arrive later but the latter, in
stead of being unloaded at Sherry,
will be taken to Stratford and from
there to the nearest point on the lake,
over the r. Connor Co.'S logging rail
road. The first work to be done on
the arrival of the machinery at the
lake will be the building of two
barges. one 1SX70 feet and the other
4Ox1OO. They will be built on ways
ana launched when completed. The
little dredge will occupy one and the
large one the other All extra space
not taken up by the machinery and
>hovels will be used for boarding and
sleeping rooms for the men. The
small machine will be used in making
the smaller bitches leading into the
main canal. If the weather continues
mild the work of dredging will be
commenced as soon as the scows are
built. The whistle and puff of the
steam dredges and the number of
men that it will take to operate them
will add new life to that once his

CONVENTION TUESDAY
County School Officers Convened
in Training School Building.

A large number of the township
school officers from Wood county, were
in the city Tuesday attending the an
nual convention which was held
at the Wood County Training school.
An excellent program, including ad-
dresses by President Sims, of the
Stevens Point Normal school, and
other we'll known educators, was
the feature of the day.
These conventions of school officers
are an annual event, the county pay
ing the expense entailed. The pur-
pose and intent is 20 get all those
who are interested in educational
matters together, and discuss plans
for the raising Of the standard of edu-
cation 10 the rural districts The eX-
change of ideas, and the relation of
individual experiences, have a
tendency to accomplish this purpose,
and in consequence these meetings
are very helpful.

SHORT COURSE
FOR FARMERS

The fifth annual session of the ten
days course in agriculture for the
adult farmers of Wisconsin will open
at the University of Wisconsin on
Feb. 4, and it is expected that some
900 men from various parts of the
state will be in attendance. The
immense popularity of the course of
instruction offered is shown in the in
creased enrolment each of the four
years since the establishment of the
work in 1904. The first year there
were It's farmers enrolled for instruc-
ton; the second 227; the third, 40: and
last year there were COL. The average
increase in attendance each year was
81 per cent, which would indicate, at

SEVEN FOXES
AND TWO WOLVES
We're Brought to the County
Clerk tuesday

Tu sday was great day for those
people who have been working for the
bounties placed on wolves and foxes
by the state and county. Two wolves
and seven foxes were brought in to
County Clerk geo. w. Davis Tues
day morning by four different parties.
Four of the foxes came from Auburn
DALI, and two from the town OF
Marshfield. One wolf came from
Dexter, while the other came from
the town of HileS,
Apparently there are large num-
Der Of wolves in Wood county, and it
is no able that these come from the
western part of the county where the
lands are less thickly settled.
Not until the last session Of the
county board was there bounty on
foxes, therefor the large demand now
being made is The result of the action
taken by that body at that time.
The bounty on foxes is three dollars
per head, while the bounty on wolves
is twenty dollars; ten from the county
and ten from the state.

TAME WOLF ATTACKS GIRL
MashfieId Girl Was Badly Bitten
by Infuriated Animal.

The call of the wild proved to much
for a tame wolf which for the last two
years has been a pet of the family of
Boniface Enders, a farmer near Marsh
field, and with all his savage instincts
renewed by tbs taste Of blood, it at
tackled and severely wounded Miss
Mary Enders, the farmers daughter
The animal was killed.
TIE wolf had been kept chained
most of the time. 1t has escaped once
or twice but has been recaptured by
Miss Enders. Recently it escaped
again, and attacked a chicken. Miss
Enders called the animal, and aroused
by the taste of blood, it attacked her
and bit both her arms and one Of her
legs.
The girls mother and Miss Pearl
Panger, who was visiting at the En-
ders' home came to her assistance,
but the wolf chung so tightly that
they were unable to separate them.
Finally Miss Enders managed to get a
hold on the brute's collar and chOked
it until it released its grip. Then she
dragged the struggling animal to a
barn 200 feet away, threw it inside
and closed the door. The animal was
killed later.

TIMELY QUERY
Wonders if Politics Locally is
Defined Properly

1 append below the definition OF the
word "poliUics. f" 'The service OF
government; that part OF ethics
which has to do with the regulation
and government of nation, state or
city, the preservation of safety, peace
and prosperity; the defense OF its eX-
istence and rights against foreign con-
Urol or conquest, the augmentation OF
it's strength and resources and the
protection of its citizens in their
rights with the preservation and i'm
provement of their morals F"
The above true definition of politics
as regards body of people, whether
that body be the nation, the state,
the city, or the precinct, if adhered
to strictly by all concerned in that
body, would give US ideal government
in every particular without doubt.
When conditions are otherwise than
as stated in the above, someone has
swerved from the proper course, and
wrong, with it's attendant losses, is
sure to follow.
Are we in Grand Rapids playing
politics as the definition calls for?
Are we discharging our duties as
officers of our commonwealth accord
ing to the politics described above?
If so, alright. If not, we should. 1t
has been stated and truthfully so, by
an eminent writer whose writings
are known throughout the entire
country, that the politics of today
are such in some places and bordering
on such in others that good men,
clean men, are decidedly averse to en-
tering into it.
If such is the case, and | believe it
is, it is plainly evident that real poll
tics is entirely lacking and graft and
crime must be rampant.
Let us require, in our city at least,
that Politics in the truest sense OF
the word shall obtain and that our
officers shall follow the definition
strictly to the letter thereby guarding
against the probability of conditions
becoming such that good and clean
men will decline to seek the offices of
of our city administration.
