WEEKLY REPORTER TO BE
AN ALL HOME PRINT PAPER

To better accommodate our adyertis-
erS and give our readers more local
news we expect to commence publish
in an all home print s page weekly,
this week Thursday if our new
material arrives in time 20 make the
change. 1t will be six column
quarto instead of an eight column as
now published. 1t will add special
features and continued stories in place
of those We have been running. We
believe we can give our readers more
city and local county news than we
have in the past without printing a
supplement as we have been obliged to
do.
We expect to add an attractive
premium in connection with our
DAILY REPORTER, and Weekly WOOD
COUNTY REPORTER. for new SUBJ
scriberS and to those who are now
taking it who will pay in advance.
If you note change in the form
of the weekly this week, you
will understand the reason why.
We want to do the same with our
DAILY as soon as the financial income
will warrant. While the DAILY SUBJ
scription list is growing, 1t is not
growing as rapidly as we wish it
might therefore we have made
arrangements to offer a premium as
an extra inducement to increase our
DAILY list to 500. May we not
realize our ambition of giving the
citizens of Grand Rapids an interest
ing local daily newspapers that will
reflect all the daily happenings in
Grand Rapids and immediate vicinity.
We ask the help and encouragement
of every one who believes such daily
newspaper will be a mutual benefit in
building up this city to greater
Grand Rapids, by giving US the news,
subscribing for the paper, and giving
the enterprise your good will.

A LIVELY
RUNAWAY
A Nekoosa Couple Have a Mi
raOul0uS Escape.

A NekooSa couple, young man and
woman, whose names we were unable
to learn at the time of going to press,
met with an experience Thursday eve-
ming while driving to this city, that
nearly cost them their lives
While attempting to cross the
/ Northwestern railroad track immedi-
ateiy in the path of an on coming
train, the horse suddenly became
frightened and veering sharply to one
side upset the carriage, tumbling its
occupants into the ditch by the road
side. Luckily for both parties, they
fell in such manner as to escape al
most unscathed. A few slight bruises
was all they had to show for their es-
capade.
The frightened horses galloped
madly off toward the city with the
driver following in their wake as best
he could. The young lady sought
shelter for the night at wayside
home, and Friday morning returned
to NekooSa.
The horses were finally rounded up,
likewise not much the worse for their
experience and placed in VIM. Nc
Glvnn's livery barn to await their
driver, who for some reason or otIIef
failed to make his appearance, and up
to the time of our going to press we
were unaware of his identity. The
carriage and harness of the turnout
are practically total loss.
Friday morning DIR. Collar, of Ne
koosa, a veterinary surgeon, who claims
to be the owner of the outfit came up
to claim his own and to take back all
that was left of il.

THE CONQUEROR
OF QUEBEC

All mankind loves hero. Carlyle
expressed it rightly when he spoke of
hero worship" From earliest times
heroes have been regarded with a
veneration which approaches worship.
There is a disposition to honor the
hero while he is living and to idealize
him when he is dead. This admira-
tion for heroic characters is one of the
noblest traits of human nature.
Fortunately for US the history of
our country tells US that our land has
been rich in heroes. We may well say
rich in heroes for every countrY's
greatest wealth is her brave and good
citizens. Our own state is rich in
heroes. 1t was he roism that within
little more than Fl fly years beat back
the wilderness and planted these fer
tile farms and founded these thriving
Wisconsin cities. The heroes of our
state were mostly quiet people, sturdy
in action and homely of speech. 1t
was one of Wisconsin's governors in
the early days who, being congratu-
lated on the strong hand with which
he quelled riot, made the oft-quoted
reply II seen my duty and done it. F"
! Quaint grammer truly; but what
wealth of cool insight, and iron will
and simple devotion to duty are shown
in that homely speech. That little
speech, famous now in its defiance of
grammer, contains all the qualities of
| heroism. The hero-or heroine-is
the person who sees what must be
done, resolves to do it. and-does it.
These same qualities were shown in
the glorious capture of Quebec just
one hundred and fifty years ago. The
captureef Quebec was the event which
marked the beginning of our national
life. At that time 1759) what is now
the United States was a group of
| colonies on the Atlantic coast. From
the App achian mountains to the Pa
cific ocean was vast and unknown
wilderness inhabited by Indians. Can
ada, owned by France, was the bitter
enemy of the English colonies. The
} French and Indian War had been

Charles River to cut off their retreat
by the bridge" ordered the General.
Now Lord be praised | can die In
peace" and sinking back he died.
BY the capture of Quebec the power
of France in the New World was
broken. Canada was ceded to Eng
land. The colonies were left in peace
and they grew strong. Their pride
in the great victory drew the colonies
together and started that united feel
ing which finally gave US the United
States Bessie Gaynor
