BUYS JUNCTION
CITY HOTEL
A. /. voyer is New Owner of
Both HosteIries at the Sta
tion Eleven Miles North of
Stevens Point.

An important real estate deal was
closed last Saturday thru the Chas.
E. Smith Co., agency of Milladore
Arthur l.. Voyer purchasing the large
hotel property located just west of
the St. Paul railroad right-of-way at
Junction City. This hotel was for sew
eral years known as the Commercial
House, but recently the name was
changed to The Grand. The property
was bought from E. A. Culver of Oak
field, Fond du Lac county, and res
presents a consideration Of about $5,-
900. Bert Culver had been conducting
The Grand since early last fall and
was assisted in the management by
his sister, Mrs. G. D. Percy. Mr.. Cul
yer expects to go on the road as a
travelling salesman.
Mr. Voyer is also owner of the Voy
er House at Junction City and in fu-
ture will manage both hotels. He has
not as yet fully decided upon the de-
tails but will undoubtedly remodel
the lower floor for retail business
purposes including barbershop, whic
the upper rooms will be used as sleel
ing quarters for transient guests and
regular boarders The building is
fitted with modern system of heat
| ing and has been otherwise greatly
improved during the past few years.
AS the Junction is hardly large enough
for two good hotels, Mr.. Voyer acted
wisely in making the purchase anC
consolidating both properties.-Ste
yens Point Gazette.

CONDITION
IS SERIOUS
Alex krembs, Sr., Suffers a
Stroke of Paralysis Sunday
Forenoon.

The Stevens Point Daily Journal has
the following to say about Alex Kremb
who has many friends and acquain-
tances in this city:
The many friends of Alex Krembs,
ST., were greatly shocked to learn
that he had suffered a stroke of par
alysis at about 80 Sunday morning
The shock affected his right side
arm and leg, and also his speech. Alth
he had been in poor health for several
months, he had been able to be up
and about the house and often on
the street, where he was cordially
greeted by many friends. He aWak-
ened Sunday morning and was about
to dress, when he had a sinking spell
he laid back in the bed for a short
time and then arose and was assisted
in dressing by Mrs Krembs and son,
Franz. Later he was being assisted
to couch, when it was noticed that
he had lost control of his right arm
and leg. Doctors were summoned and
his trouble was pronounced paralysis
During the day he remained in
semi-conscious condition, but today
he has been able to recognize the
members of his family and has, to
degree, recovered the use of his arm
and leg, though the organs of speech
remain impaired.
Though the case is pronounced a
serious one, owing to his age and his
declining health, all of his acquain-
tances hope for the best and that
they will again have the pleasure of
seeing him on the street. Mr.. Krembs
will be II years of age in March, and
since coming to this city in 1863 has
been engaged in the hardware busi
ness and been one of the highly re-
spected citizens of Stevens Point

Political Life Because Leg
islative and Executive
Branches are in Harmony for

Gov. F. E. McGoYern is in Milwaukee

Il am naturally very much gratified
at the friendly reception accorded my
message, and the general approval OF
the principal official acts connected
with the beginning of my administra-
ton" said the governor Wednesday,
This indulgent attitude on the
part Of the public is the result in
part, at least, of a widespread change
in political views, and | do not take
it especially as a personal compliment
or tribute to me; but | appreciate it
none the less.
Il look forward to the accomplish
ment of great things during this ses-
sion of the legislature. For the first
time in years the executive and legis-
lative branches of the government are
in political harmony. The legislature
moreover, is composed in the main of
exceptionally able and representative
men.
"a great many problems of the very
first Importance are now presented
for solution. Thus, the opportuni-
ties for achievement are unusual and
We may reasonably look forward to
satisfactory results.
Naturally l have been quite busy
since | went to Madison, as a result
of the very large number of new mat
ters presented at the beginning of
the term. This initial rush of work
being over, l am back in Milwaukee
for few days to complete the pack

Of death
Born in Montreal, Canada, Oct 20.
1865, Cordelia La Breche came with
her parents to Grand Rapids the fol
lowing year. Her mother died when
she was quite young and many of
the household duties, including the
care of other members of the fami-
~, devolyed upon the now deceased

ton NJ Christman and they came to
Stevens Point a couple of years
later, having resided here ever since.
Besides her husband she is survived
by three little daughters, lrma, Ger

In the death of Mrs Christman a
most estimable woman has been sum-

to the husband, three bright little

NEAR CLASH WITH CHINA.
Russia Will Make Military De-
m0nStratiOn on Frontier.

London.-The relations of Russia
and China are strained to the break
ing point. Russia notified the gov
ernments of Great Britain, France
and Germany of her intention to
make military demonstration on the
Russo-Chinese frontier owing to
China's persistent violation of the
st. Petersburg treaty of 1881.
Russian troops will be sent forth
with to the district of Iii.
The extent of the demonstration,
it is added in the diplomatic note,
will depend entirely upon the atti-
tude assumed by China. The vital
questions involved are free trade in
Mongolia, the eXtra-territorial rights
of Russians in China, and the estab-
lishment of a Russian consulate at
Kobdo, Mongolia.
The greatest curiosity is manifest
ed in diplomatic circles as to the role
which Japan will play in the present
crisis, and also respecting the atti-
tude the United States is likely to
adopt, should Russia carry out her
threats. 1t is believed, however, that
President Taft's cabinet will not go
beyond gentle intervention.

FIRM GRIP OF BULL-FIGHTlNG
"Sport" Continues to Amuse People Of

of Officials.

Paris.-The extent to which the
practice or sport of bull-fghting
still exists in the south of France,
despite all the efforts Of the authori-
ties to stamp it out, is little known by
the rest of the world A meeting was
recently held at Beziers of those inter-
ested in the spectacles and a protest
drawn up against the bill of the minis
ter of justice which provides for the
punishment by fine and Imprisonment
Of those connected with bull fights.
1t developed at this meeting that
there are 27 associations for the pro-
motion of bull-ighting in the south
of France. with a total membership
of $4,000. According to the protest
the bill would interfere with the ia
vorite pastime of these and many
more people, would be check to the
liberties of the south and would be
against the interests of the country.
Nevertheless there is an excellent
chance Of the bill becoming law.

Even Inside the Wall of China

in Manchuria from the bubonic
plague already have reached $1,000,
while the Foreign Office believes that

general belief, however. the number
of fatalities will be nearer double
those of the official estimates.
The relief committee at Shanghai
believes that the minimum number
of deaths from famine is 10000.
The success which the anti-plague
has met has been surprise and a
cause of qualification to the foreign
