 I have heard a Governor. In a mixed assembly, say things that were so in- decently delicate as to make me con- clude that as we advance in elegance and refinement we become proof against bushes.
 Perhaps. in the old days. Rallantry. fin the Governors office, would have been gracious to the cry of motherly Kindness, and yielded to petition that entailed no cost.

SAVED FROM DROWNING
BY PET DOG

The little 7-year-old daughter Of
Mr. and Mrs. Gus Giese OF Four Nile
Greek, had a narrow escape Friday
while helping her father in the
fields. The child started after some
water for her father, taking her dog
with her. About half way to the
creek she met a man, and being
afraid to pass him, she took an
other direction reaching the creek
at place where the water was
about 10 feet deep and very swift.
In the attempt to get the water she
slipped and fell. The current took
her under and when she came up
for the second time the little dog
caught her dress and with the
girls help succeeded in pulling her
to the shore

ALLEGED HORSE THIEF

Stevens Point Daily Journal: Will
liam Plummer, a young man about
70 years old, who, few weeks ago,
hired a horse at Fred Balls livery
and after driving around the coun--
try for couple of days, abandoned
the outfit at Bancroft, was arrested
Friday at Grand Rapids and brought
here to answer to a charge of horse
stealing. When arraigned before
Justice Park he entered a plea of
not guilty. He admitted all the prin-
ciple facts regarding the horse, but
said he got drunk and was not
fully responsible for what he did. He
denied any intention of stealing the
horse or trying to sell it. The hear
ing was set for June and mean
while he is in jail

BADLY CUT WITH 4 KNIFE

Dan Noltner, the 20-year old son
of w. f. Noltner, who is en-
ployed in the Reiland Packing Co. S
plant at the south side, while kill
ing a hog just after dinner Friday
the long sharp knife with which he
did the killing, slipped out of his
hand and struck the fleshy part of
his right limb at the calf, causing
a very severe flesh wound. He
bled profusely and after bandaging
it as best they could he was driven
to the city where his wound was
dressed by DR.. J. J. Looze. The
cut was not so wide, but quite deep
and cut several of the smaller blood
vessels which made it quite an ugly
looking wound. He will be laid
up for some little time, but no SER
ious results are anticipated.

BIG CORPORATION
In Process Of Formation at
Wausau---tNllI Cover Entire
Wisconsin Valley.

Merrill Daily Herald: Eviden( e
seems to pile up that there is in
process of formation a formidab- e
corporation at Wausau, which will
eventually control most of the wa
ter power property in the Wisconsin
Valley. The nucleus of this corpora
ton are the men behind or in til
Wausau street railway company. AL
ready franchise has been obtain
to build an electric road from Ne
koosa through Grand Rapids.
The other day the electric light
plant of Amigo was sold to gen
tlemen connected with the Wausau
street railway. They deny that there
is any connection between the two,
but indications point differently.
1t is also rumored, but no confirm
alton can be obtained, in fact it is
denied, that Wausau men hold op-
tion on the Merrill street railway.
With street railways in Wausau,
Grand Rapids and Merrill, franchise
at Stevens Point and electric plant
at Amigo, the only other things then
necessary would be interurban con-
nections extended to Stevnes Point,
and Grand Rapids south, Merrill and
Tomahawk north and triangle from
Wausau to Amigo and Amigo to
Merrill, this corporation with head
quarters at Wausau and largely
financed at Wausau, would have a
cinch on the transportation business
of this section of the state The
scheme, too, looks very plausible.
No doubt but that interurban roads
between the cities named would pay
and that big. With plenty of cheap
power manufacturing too would
spring up. 1t looks as if the Wiscon-
sin valley was about to experience
an impetus in development hardly
dreamed of by the most enthusiastic
valley boosters. The natural re-
sources to be developed are here.
1t begins, too, now to look as if
the men and money to develope this
section were ready to go ahead.
The Herald believes this a great
country for opportunity, and we hope
that the indications we have pointed
out will materialRe to the fullest
extent.
There may be those, who may
think that Wausau will be the great
est beneficiary. Not so, if the
other towns are up and doing. They
can all prosper with Wausau if they
Will; but they must not go to sleep.

SERIOUS RUNAWAY AVERTED

The obliging county clerk, F. H. Et
erhardt, is entitled to great credit
for the prompt assistance he gave
Mrs. Luther Sandbourn last Satur-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock. Mrs.
Sandbourn with a year old child in
her lap, and son twelve years
old driving and both seated in a
heavy old style one-horse democrat
wagon, to which was hitched large
raw boned horse weighing about 14O0
pounds and all together they were
driving down the Baker hill in front
of the court house and some part
of the harness, we believe the hold
back strap broke and let the whole
weight of the rig down against the
horse This frightened the horse
and he ran away. In passing the
court house Fred Eberhardt ran out
and jumped into the rig and got
hold of the lines and in his anxiety
to stop the horse, one of the lines
broke and then he had his hands
full. He succeeded in guiding the
horse up to the Reporter printing
office where he was stopped The
mother, baby and boy were badly
scared, but fortunately no one was
hurt.
