And yet the democratic convention

teeth that il has misreprescnted the
democratic people of the state of

But they ordered me to take it
off OF print paper because they want
ed to bride the newspapers and mag
azines to support the democratic
ticket. That is why. | think it is just
as immoral to purchase the support
of rich men by promising them eN-
emption from taxation as it is to buy
poor Wretch's vote with a ten dol
lar bill. Now, my countrymcn, why
take it off print paper? Tell me that

needs relief? say yes, but he needs
the relief on his hat and his shoes
and his clothes and his food more
than ne needs il on his paper. | viii
never vote to take the tax off the
printers paper and leave it on the
printers clothes. The country news
paper man could not save anything
by the repeal of the tax on print pa
per.

told me to remove the tax was lnm-

the face of it. Cheap lumber means
cheap homes and better homes. and
better homes means the happiness of

COUPLE ARRESTED WHILE
AT IDEAL THEATRE

Chief of Police Julian Welch re-
ceived a telephone message Monday
night from w. M. Wilson of Nekoosa
to arrest his fourteen-year-o daugh-
ter, who was in company with Err
nest FAIL of the south side, as she
had left home without permission. AT.
ter receiving the message he located
the parties at the Idal Thatre and ar
rested them both and placed them
in Sheriff Griffin's boarding house
Just what kind of a warrant will be
issued against them will depend upon
the facts. The girl is only IA years
of age. She had been working for
a few days at hotel Benz in Nekoosa
and left there with her extra clothes,
on the five o'clock train Monday
evening, coming to this city with
Ernest Fail. The girl will probably
be sent to the Reform School as she
shows a disposition not to want to
go back home with her father, for
he was going to move his family upol
a farm to live.

IRA PURDY REMEMBERED
ON HIS GOTH BIRTHDAY

1t is an honor very few people are
privileged to enjoy, living in this
world ninety years. This fact in
itself indicates that those who do
live to this good old age have
lived up to the laws of Nature pretty
well. Therefore, those who have
reached xthis age are entitled to
much credit. Brother Ira Purdy
reached his ninetieth mile stone
last Thursday, May 6, 1909. He
is member of the Masonic and
Eastern Star orders and it has been
the custom of one or both of the
organizations of late years to re-
member him on this anniversary. A
committee of four brother Masons
were appointed at the last session
OF the Masonic Lodge to call upon
him at his home on said day, and
present him with slight token of
the esteem and respect in which he
is held by his brother members. He
accepted the token in the spirit in
which it was given, with full apr
citation of the remembrance.

PLAYS HORN;
SCARES WOLVES

Chippewa Falls, Wis, May 6.-John
Bates, who plays in the band at
Flambeau, near here, was On his way
homo late and found he was follow
ed by pack of wolves. AS he had
five miles to travel he hastened his
pace and attempted to reach the
nearest farmhouse. The wolves in
creased their speed equal to his, and
Bates climbed a tree. Finally he
happened to think of his instrument,
trombone, which he carried un-
der his arm, and began to blow as
well as his exhausted condition would
permit. This had the effect of quiet
ing the advance of the beasts, and
he continued playing until some
late travellers came to his rescue.
Local hunters might bear in mind
this method used in soaring the
wolves away and in the future while
hunting toot your horn.
Miss Grace Daniels, who teaches
in Red Granite, was in this city
Friday visiting her friends on their
way to her home in Babcock.

FLOOR In IDEAL
THEATRE CAVES IN

1t is generally known that the
Ideal Theatre building owned by the
Wood County National Bank and
rented by S. H. Smart & Son was up
on jack screws and props ready to
be moved upon the rear part of the
same lot. 1t has been occupied
during this time every night Last
night about s o'clock while it was
occupied with $50 people, men, wo.
men and children, the center of the
floor settled down about three feet
causing considerable excitement The
women and children screamed and
for moment all was excitement.
No one was hurt The cause for
this excitement was due to the fact
that one prop in the basement about
the center of the building gave
way and the floor sank a distance
of three feet until it landed upon
brick chimney which was left stand
ing there, otherwise the crowd of
people would have fallen in a heap
in the basement about eight feet.
Fortunately this did not happen for
then someone would have been hurt.

THE 7TH-DAY kDVENTiSTS;
THEIR WORK IN WISCONSIN

The Seventh-day Adventists for
Wisconsin have their headquarters in
this city and do large and increas-
ing business. Only a few of our
citizens have any knowledge of the
magnitude OF this work in our city.
To give our readers an idea of what
their work consists we secured the
following statement from a member
of that denomination who is familiar
with it:
One year ago last fall we secured
lots at the corner of Oak and Elev-
enth Streets in Grand Rapids, ad-
joining the two lots which we have
owned for some years, and began
at once to erect two-story cement
block building, the upper part to
be used for church and parochial
school, the first floor to be devoted
to office and depository rooms.
In January, 1908, our State Mis-
sionary and Book Depository was
moved from Oshkosh and located
in the building. In April of that
year the office of the State Confer
ence President was moved from
Bethel to this city and located in
the same building, likewise the State
Sabbath-school Secretary's office.
In April the present year the
office of the State Conference Sec
retary and Treasurer was moved
from Milwaukee and is now located
in the Conference building. A gen.
eral storage house was built on the
north side of the lots, where our
tents and general camp-meeting par
aphernalia are stored Thus this city
has become the center of our state
conference work.
One reason for the selection OF
this place is that it is in the cen
ter of the state, also an excellent
railroad and shipping point.
We are glad to announce to the
citizens of Wood County, that we
find in the business men and women
of Grand Rapids, warmhearted, ac
commodating people.
Our printers-The Wood County
Reporter firm-print our local church
organ for our work in this state,-Th
Wisconsin Reporter-a weekly sheet
They also print for us large orders
of letter heads, blanks, receipts
books and business supplies.
The banks were our first acquaint
ance. They deal like men who ap.
preciate the addition of a business

COMMENT ON WRiTE-UPIN
J0BBER AND RETAILER

The following comment was pub
lished in the Shawano County Advo-
cate in it's last issue which goes to
show that the writeup has favorable
effect upon others:
''The April number of the Jobber
and Retailer had an extensive write
up of Grand Rapids, Wis, giving
many fine half-tones of different
manufacturing plants and some of
their fine residences and schools,
etc. also some of the fine business
blocks. Grand Rapids is bound to
be one of the best towns in central
Wisconsin, for it has the watel
power and that is what makes the
town. It's citizens are progressive
and ever working for the advance
ment of their city. This excellent
write-up will help the city and The
Advocate trusts that Shawano can
get write-up of the same kind
sometime.
