LETTER FROM MRS. ELLA
WINKLER AND HER MOTHER
Spokane Wash.
February p, '09
Editor Fontaine

Editor Fontaine
Dear SIR:
Thinking an item from US would
not only interest yourself, but the
many friends of our mother, who was
so badly injured in the wreck on the
U. 2. r. r. the 26th of January.
After twenty days confinement in. the
hospital at Cheyenne, Wyoming, she
with brother Fred Hecox, arrived in
Spokane Wednesday Feb. 18th.
Mother is slowly improving but
suffers a great deal from the broken
arm. Her face bears several marks,
also stitches, which may, or may not,
be visible later on. Poor mother! she
has suffered severe nervous shock
from which | fear she may never
fully recover. AS it is her right arm
that was broken, it.will be impossible
for her to answer the great number of
sympathizing letters she receives
daily, put we hope she may recover
sufficiently to he able to use her arm
at least.
She wishes to be remembered to all
her dear friends in your vicinity, and
with a host of good wishes for your
self and the REPORTER, we beg to re-
main. Sincerely YOURS,
Mrs. Ella Winkler and mother.

THE RAILROAD SURVEY

Hancock News-The location of the
line for the prospective railroad has
hit Hancock beyond the fondest ex-
pectations of our citizens. The line
crosses the branch just north of the
Cochrane elevator. one of the Oldest
land marks in this village, continuing
thence in a south-easterly direction
through KretserS mill property,
Matz' meat market, passing between
Whitmore's livery barn and Whites
mill, through Gene Hamiltons resi-
dence, L. A. Roseberry's property and
several other places from which
buildings will have to be moved if the
road is built The first deviation
from a perfectly straight line of "a
miles after leaving Grand Rapids. is
made i'm w. A. Wright'S field south of
the Hancock creamery. There slight
curve is made to the left around the
head of Hancock Lake, then straight
line is followed east of southeast
along the south side of the lakes al
most to Spaulding's corner. where
another curve is made to the south,
and from here the surveyors are now
working on line which goes winding
down the bluffs to Richford. Our
readers NAV get some idea of the
ability of the engineer in this survey
veying party from the fact that the
straight line he run from Grand
Rapids came within II feet of his OBJ
jective point in this village.

WAUSAU NOT IN
VALLEY LEAGUE

Robt. E. Hochtrit of Wausau has
asked us to publish the following cor
rection of the Wausau base ball team
joining a Wisconsin Valley League
which explains ITSELF
"a report has been going the
rounds of the newspapers of the diff
ferent cities in this section of the
state to the effect that a new base
ball league was to be organized, to be
composed of Wisconsin river valley
cities and Marshfield and Amigo, or
something to that effect, and that
Wausau was to be represented by a
club. To show how unauthentic this
report is, at least so far as it con-
Germs Wausau, l might say that Wau-
sau has been given a berth in the
new Wisconsin Minnesota League, re-
Gently organized, and composed of
the following cities: Duluth, Super
ior, La Crosse, Eau Claire, Winona
and Wausau. The fans in this city
are accustomed to a class of ball
such as is usually played in class D
and class c organizations, since this
city's four years connection with
league in this class and nothing short
of that will do. The management of
the local club is making arrangement
for the opening of the WIN season
and it would be absolutely impossible
to interest anyone here in club in
this proposed valley league"

"A SPRIG OF
SHAMROCK"
At DaIy's Opera House on st.
Patrick's Day BY Rev. Evans
of the M. E. Church.

Mr. Evans was born and raised in
Ireland and possesses all the brillian-
cy and wit of an educated son of the
Emerald Isle. Other cities pronounce
his lecture-"Fine. SUCH A MAN
with SUCH A SUBJECT on SUCH A
DAY should pack our Opera House

Rhinelander Herald REV. Richar
Evans lecture on "a Sprig of Sham
rock" Thursday night was listened to
by a crowded house. The lecture
was pronounced by all as one of the
best that has been given here in
some time"
Clintonville Tribune: who
have become familiar with the wit
and pathos and charm of the Emer-
aid Isle-were prepared to enjoy the
delightful interplay of fact and fancy,
wit and wisdom, which characterized
the lecture on Ireland by Rev. Rich
ard Evans.-It is evident that Mr..
Evans is an enthusiastic student OF
Irish History and Tradition, and with.
al the interest of the lecture is en-
hanced not a little by the magnetic
personality of the speaker, who in
temperament and accent is unmis-
takably a native product, a genuine
son of "Ould Sod"

EASILY MIXED
KIDNEY RECIPE
Effective Homemade Medicine
for Kidneys and the Bladder.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from a New York daily paper, giving
a simple prescription. which is said to
be positive remedy for backache or
kidney or bladder arrangement. if
taken before the stage of Bright's dis
ease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce: Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake we'll in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-knOwn druggist here at home.
when asked regarding this prescrip-
tion, stated that the ingredients are
all harmless, and can be obtained at a
small cost from any good prescription
pharmacy, or the mixture would be
put up if asked to do SO. He further
stated that while this prescription is
often prescribed in rheumatic afflic-
tions with splendid results, he could
see no reason why it would not be a
splendid remedy for kidney and uri
nary troubles and backache as it has a
peculiar action upon the kidney
structure. cleansing these most impor-
tant organs and helping them to sift
and filter from the blood he foul acids
and waste matter which cause sick
ness and suffering. Those of our
readers who suffer can make no mis-
take in giving it trial.

NUPTIALS
Hanson Young

The marriage of Alfred Hanson of
Lacrosse, and Miss Ella Young of this
city was solemnized shortly before u
O'Clock Wednesday Feb. 24th at the
NJ. E. parsonage, Rev. Richard Evans

formed the ceremony in the presence
of only few near relatives and
friends.

there heartily par took of bounteous
wedding dinner
The bride is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Louie Young who reside on
18th st. N. Miss Ella is very well
known here, having grown to ma
turity in this city. For number of
years she has been employed as cashier
in Cohen Bros. Dept. Store. She is
young lady of exceptionally pleasant
aud winning ways and thus has won
the friendship and esteem of all who
know her. She therefore has a large
circle of friends. The groom, although
not very well known here is reported
to be an able young man of good
character, who gives promise of be-
coming leading citizen in any place
he may choose to live. Each of them
seem TO have made very wise choice
and a bright and happy future no
doubt awaits them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hanson left on the
Chicago and Northwestern passenger

After their return they will leave for
the state of Washington to establish
their future home, where Mr.. Hanson
is now in the employ of the United
States government as chief of the irri-
cation construction work.
The REPoR4ER joins with the many
friends in wishing them a long and
happy voy age, on the sea of matri-
mony, under the serenest skies,

WOULD PAY TAXES
IN SUMMER

We are heartily in favor of move
ment started by the Merchants of
Appleton for the purpose of petition
ing the legislature to change the time
for tax paying from the winter to the
summer months or from December
and January, when the people are
already depressed from the struggle
with the fuel bill, the winter clothing
bill. the grocery bill and the Christ
mas bill, TO June and July, when we
are supposed to be living on love and
balmy air, the garden and winter left
overs. At first glance, at least, this
arrangement woulcs appear 10 have
some material advantages and poSsi-
bly, the move is a wise one. If there
are any good arguments against the
change they will probably be brought
out in the discussion to follow.
