When you are gazing absently
through the Office window thesf
warm afternoons that suggest sum-
uer Is coming. don't you sometimes
think OF one time not SO long ago,
On lust such an afternoon. when
the visitors were making our team
act as trailer and then. in the ninth
inning. the pride Of the home team
came to bat and. while the crowd
sat breathIess with expectation, he
hit safe for three bases and tied the
score with the two runs brought In?
Don't you remember how in an
instant you forgot you had called
the whole blooming team . bunch Of
NUTS and. instead Of yelling ''bone-
head, you howied GOOD old, Bill?
And didn't you shrek with JOY
when the next man up hit out =
sttngy little single that brought
home the man on third and won the
game?
And-honest now-tiidnt you
fade away with the crowd glad you
hadn't missed that game?
If you haven't felt this way there
is no use reading any further, for
there will be nothing Of interest in
this to the man that isn't keen on .
good ball game.
But to the fellows who appreciate
the loves Of fandom there is q con-
silIeration or two that will be pre-
eented soon. That Is the matter Of
. first class team for Greeley-one
that will eat 'em alive. wherever the
visiting teams come from; q team
that will make the rest of the state
shudder when the fast men OF Gree
ley are mentioned.
The proposition OF necessity will

business venture the promoters can
not promise dividends or even =

ed. The funeral service took place
Tuesday afternoon from the home of
Miss Minnie Brown, 972, Wylie street
Rev. Fred Staff, of the Congregation

ceased was a member. The Masonic

in this community. He believes in

Sunday evening, a special program
was rendered in commemoration Of
George Washington and Abraham Lin
coin. The guests Of honor were mem
bers Of the Wood County Post No

carried out as published. The mu
sic furnished by the choir under the
leadership Of Mr. and Mrs J. H
Linderman was excellent. The choir
consisted Of sixteen young people.
Rev. Pease's address, Whom We
Honor" was a glowing tribute to
Washington and Lincoln, and from
the interested look upon the faces of
the old soldiers, we are sure they
were heartily in accord with every
word uttered. Mr.. Peases address
was historical and reminiscent of
many incidents relating to the lives
and character of these two patriots
and of the wars, and was intensely
interesting. The church's entire seat
ing capacity was occupied. The deco
ations were tasteful and in keeping
with the memorial exercises.

IMPROVE AND ENLARGE
GRAND RAPIDS

What can we do to make Grand
Rapids better known and greater in
population? Reader, We invite sug-
gestions. One of our citizens, who
has occasion to travel through this
and other statse, while away recent
ly, was surprised to notice that in
the depots at st. Paul, Minneapolis,
and Duluth in the Union stations, in
calling off the departure of trains
the city of Grand Rapids was never
announced among the stations called
off. He heard the names of Marsh
field, Stevens Point, Waupaca, and
Wisconsin like Wausau, Merrill, etc,
but never heard the call of Grand
Rapids" He wondered at this and
in conversation with us said, that
steps should be taken toward this
end. He said, this was a small matter
yet it familiarized the travelling pubs
lie with the names of cities along
the lines of different railroads. The
city of Grand Rapids has four rail
roads, and is good shipping point,
one of the best in the state. 1t has
excellent water power and raw ma
terial of various kinds that ought
to make it an excellent manufactur-
ing center.
He suggested that a committee of
three be appointed to correspond
with the necessary officials of the
railroads to have the name of Grand
Rapids added to those above in call
ing off cities of Central Wisconsin,
and also to look after and correspond
with anyone looking for a location
Every person should be a booster.
and do everything in their power to
boom Grand Rapids and say al the
good things about our advantages and
attractiveness of this city.

PRIZE DOG AND BULL
DO BATTLE TO DEATH
Terrific Fight Waged for an
Hour on New Jersey Stock

NEW YORK, Feb. IA fight to
the death between a thoroughbred
English bull terrier and Holstein
bull took place last night at the stock
farm of Ebeen Grover at New Dur

The dog was a perfect specimen of
the breed and was valued at $3.50. 1t
took a dislike to the bull, $1,000 AMI
NAL, and when an employee opened
the door of the box stall the dog
slipped in and in two seconds the bat
tie was on.
The dog whirled about the stall
with lightning speed, leaping at the
bulls throat with swapping teeth.
Twice he was pinned against the wall
by the horns of the brute, but finally,
by a quick spring, sank its teeth in
the throat of the bull.
The great animal, roaring with pair
swung the little dog about and dash
ed it's body against the walls, but
| it would not let go. The battle had
ragged and Grover with mis- sons en-
tered the stall twice at the peril of
their lives, when the huge bull sank
| to its knees and toppled over dead.
The dog loosening its hold for the
first time, imped into a corner and
died within few minutes. Growers S
right leg was badly torn by the dogs
