MISS CHRISTIAN MEETS
WITH PECULIAR ACCIDENT

Miss Dollie Christman, daughter of
Mrs. Peter Christman, met with a
very peculiar but painful accident
Wednesday noon as a result of which
she will be confined to her home for
some time to come
Whileseated at the dinner table,
younger sister, a mere babe, pick
ed up heavy glass tumbler and in a
playful mood threw it at her strik-
ing her squarely on the arm just be-
low the elbow and fracturing the
bone. DR.. J. J. Looze was hastily
summoned, who quickly set the in
jured member and is giving his pa
tient the best of care

A DENIAL FROM
HIGH AUTHORITY

From National Food Magazine Chicago
DIR. HI. w. Wiley, Chief Chemist of
the Agricultural Department, has de-
manded of the Calumet Baking Powd-
er Co., of Chicago, that it cease the
publication of alleged certificates or
STATEN ents that he has endorsed the
Calumet Baking Powder, or reported
in favor of its purity, wholesomeness
or superiority. Such statements. he
says are false.
DIR. Wiley never served upon a COM
mittee of awards, as alleged, nor
signed such a report or certificate, nor
did he ever indorse the Calumet Bak-
ing Powder in any way. On the con-
trary, DR.. Wiley testified before a
Congregational Committee relative to
alum in food, as follows: LAS I have
said repeatedly, do not use it in my
own home, and would not use alum in
bread if l knew it Alum is in
jurious.''
1t seems that DR.. Wiley's demand
that the Calumet Company should
cease these publications. which are,
he says, against the TRUTH" was not
complied with, although he says he
has done all he could ito stop the
base and inexcusabie use of his name. -
The public will share in DR.. Wiley's
indignation that his name and official
position should be fraudulently used
to aid in foisting upon consumers a
food compound made from ingredients
which the Doctor has publicly de.
clared to be injurious.

j. A. Cohen, proprietor of Cohen
Bros. department stores, took except
ion to our local item in which we
mentioned his canoidacy..as alderman
in the third ward of this city and that
he was President of the Grand Rapids
Brewing Company. He is President
of that company, but not their cam
didate for alderman. The way the
local read, he thought it left the
inference that he was their candi-
date. He says, he may not be can
didate at all. His friends in the
third ward want him to run, and he
may accept, but not as the saloon can
didate or any other special interest
candidate. If he accepts, and is
elected alderman from that ward, he
will serve the best interests of the
city, taken as whole, as his best
judgement dictates. He is not sa-
loon man neither a prOhibitioniSt.
He is opposed to the present method
of opening Vine st. He was opposed
to the method and expense incurred
in buying the Parks south of the
wagon bridge, He believes that ex-
pense could have been deferred. How
ever, if he accepts and is elected he
Will do everything in his power for
the best interests of Grand Rapids as
his best judgement would dictate.
We believe he would. In making
our local item we had no desire to
misrepresent his position and gladly
take this opportunity in correcting the
impression in accordance with his
above statement. Mr.. Cohen usually
stands for the right as he sees it and
we believe he would conscientiously
represent the best interest of the
third ward and Grand Rapids general
ly if be is elected alderman.

MORE EVIDENCES OF WIS.
CENTRAL AIR LINE

While our reporter was in the
first ward this morning he noticed
two gentlemen, both strangers, with
blue prints in their hands looking over
the permanent location stakes placed
by the engineers who made the early
preliminary survey last month for the
Wisconsin Central or some other
railroad interests. Just what they
were looking after, or what theil
business was, is simply conjecture.
But it was plainly to be seen that
they were looking up something in
connection with the new contem-
plated railroad into this city Wheth-
er they were members of the Hig-
gins survey party we cannot say.
They may have been looking for a
depot site; they may have been looking
for suitable location for a round
house, or machine shops, no telling
what their business might have been.
1t is all left for us to guess at, but
it is plainly to be seen that they
were interested in this survey and
were here to further interests con-
nected with that line.

ride on the cars. We have promised
our friend E. A. Lapham at Nekoosa
that we would come to see him when
We could go on the street car line

ARRESTED FOR
SELLING TO MINORS

Herman PodawiItz, who operates a
saloon ia the town of Port Edwards
was arrested the past week upon COM
plaint of Stanaslaus Pataska, farmer
residing in said town, about one-half
mile distant from said saloon, for SELL
ing liquor to minors. The matter
was heard at the town hall in Port
Edwards last Friday when 15 wit
nesSes were sworn, mostly minors,
who testified that they had bought
liquor there. III. E. Fitch of Ne
koosa, appeared for S. Pataska and w.
E. Wheelan of this city appeared for
Mr.. Podawiltz The matter of revok-
ing Herman PodawiltZ license for this
offense was taken under advisement
by the TowD Board and their decision
will be rendered on Friday March 18th.
This is the same saloon and party
| which was arrested some time ago in
the killing of a COW. This saloon ap-
pears to be the source of considerable
| trouble.

"DAVID GARRlCK" GAVE
EXCELLENT SATISFACTION

The modern classic actor, Mr.. Cliff
ton Mallory and company pre- ented
the beautiful English comedy,
''David Garrick," to a fair sized audi
ence Wednesday night. It's rendition
was greatly enjoyed and appreciated
by the audience and one of the best
plays our people have had the privi-
lege of witnessing. Mr.. Mallory was
exceptionally good and was ably sup
ported by his company.
The plot of the drama was laid in
London, England. and the costumes,
wigs and buckled shoes took the audi
ence back to the early part of tie
18th century. The scenery was splen-
did and added much to the general
effect of the play.
The music was furnished by Prof
f. l.. Bliss orchestra and formed an
excellent part of The evenings enter
tainment.

NEW SOLID BRICK CHURCH
BUILDING TO BE ERECTED

The congregation and membership
of the Evangelical and Emanuel Ger
man Luthern church Society of this
city decided to erect new solid brick
church building this summer large
enough, upon their present site, in
the second ward. to accommodate the
demands made upon them. This
will be pleasing news TO the citizens
of Grand Rapids who are glad
to witness the religious and
church growth in our city. This
is evidence of growing Christian senti-
ment in our community when larger
churches are necessary to accommo-
date the wants in this respect.

A UNIQUE GIFT

President Roosevelt has just beer
made the recipient of a handsome al
bum, by an admirer, who instructed
the Consolidated Press Clipping Com
pany, of Chicago, over a year ago
to gather all newspaper editorial com
ments on the tour around the world
of the U. S. Battleship fleet.
The album contains over two thou
sand, one hundred clippings divided
into two volumes, 12X14 inches each
handsomely bound in black morocco
with the following inscription in gold
letters:
'World Cruise of the U. S. Battle
ship Fleet" Dec. 18th, '07-Feb
22nd, '09.
Besides the editorial comments
from the newspapers from every
state in the Union, the cablegrams
appearing in the Chicago Tribune
and the New York Tribune, record
ing the progress of the warships
from port 10 port are cnronoloSlcdilS
arranged as well as the domestic life
and doings of the battleships from
the pen of the Fleet Correspondent
whose articles appeared in the great
Metropolitan papers.
Throughout, illustrations of the
various ships are interspersed. Nc
doubt the President will value the
present, not so much from an artistic
view, but as a faithful expression Of
the people of the entire country, or
the most remarkable achievement o
modern times, and one of the crown
ing efforts of his administration.

"Our little daughter, six years Of age,
after a severe attack Of the measles.
which developed into pneumonia, was
left pitifully thin, weak and emaciat-
ed. She had no appetite, and her stom-
ach was SO weak it could not retain
food She lay in this condition for
weeks, and nothing the doctor pre-
scribed did a bit of good, and we were
beginning to think she would never re-
cover.
'At this time we commenced to give
her Vinol, and the effect was marvel

progress, and when we told him we
were giving her Vinol, he replied, 1T
Is fine remedy, keep it up We did
so, and she recovered her health and
strength months before the doctor
thought she could" J. w. Flagg,

Which often softly you repeat?
