Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis KRONER and
son and two daughters left Sunday
morning for Stevens Point, after
spending several days with their
father, LemieI Kroner. They return
to Minneapolis from Stevens Point.
They all report a delightful visit in
Grand Rapids Mrs. Chas. Oster re-
turns with them.
George Snyder has returned from
visit to Wausau and Amigo, where
he inspected the ginseng gardens. Mr.
Snyder is very enthusiastic over the
ginseng business and in company
with Tom Mullen and Henry Samp-
son is conducting a ginseng garden
on the Sampson farm about three
les west of the city on Moccasin
creek.
F. Link is back from Rochester,
Mimi, where he had been to see his
wife, who underwent second nee
essary operation while he was up
there. Mrs. Link is now conyalesc-
ing from both operations. She Will
probably be home now in two or
three weeks. Their many friends
rejoice with them in her successful
outcome of both operations.
No one is alone in suffering from
the heat. 1t is a common affliction.
There is no escaping it, so there 5
no use TO whine or complain that
only makes matters much worse, and
besides, the people of Grand Rapids
really have delightful weather in com
paTison with the number of hotter
days through which the people of the
more southern cities must live dur
ing tie summer
The public drinking fountains were
well patronized on the Fourth. The
drinking fountain at the corner of
Third and Grand Avenue was doing a
rushing business all day. Ben Han
sen, who was at that corner looking
after the welfare of the visitors, said
that there was scarcely a time be-
tween six in the morning and ten
o'clock at night it was necessary for
people to line up to get drink
A warrant has been issued for the
arrest of Candy Anderson. Joe Wheir
is the complainant Anderson was
employed by Mr. Wheir and was con-
Quoting a refreshment stand in the
new LeMay building for the complain
ant The warrant charges Anderson
with the larceny of SIS. This money
is alleged to have been stolen from
the stand Anderson has skipped for
parts unknown, so it is said by the
officers.
o. P Mcneil, the photographer,
has on display in f. L. Steib's drug
store window a display of photo
graphs that he took of the carriage
displays and floats on the Fourth, in
1906 There were no automobiles in
the parade; this year, 1914, they
were all cars The carriage decora--
lions then were fine, but nothing to
compare with the automobile decora-
tons in 1914 Truly this illustrates
the progress taking place.
With the mediation plans about to
fail, with the reports of federal
troops deserving, and with Sir Lio--
mel Garden warming the English to
leave Mexico City while they can do
so in safety, the Mexican situation
has once more become acute and
there is speculation and doubt as to
what may happen next. In the mean
time there is a general belief that
the Huerta regime is nearing it's
end. But after Huerta, what? That
is the interesting question
We understand that Cliff Bluett,
Tie present uHutI SutI III, Will NC q
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for Sheriff of Wood County
at the September primaries. Cliff
has made an excellent record as I'M
dersheriff, displaying marked ability
in the direction of meeting things
face to face where duty calls him.
The Republicans of Wood county,
could do no better than to give Cliff
the unanimous nomination of the
party. And at the fall election the
voters, irrespective of party, could
consistently vote for Cliff in the
interest of efficient Vesper
State Center.
