STREETCAR
ACCIDENT

A street car loaded with about forty
people, coming from Port Edwards,
Wednesday afternoon, and due here
at $3.50, met with an accident at the
south side railroad crossing, in which,
a switch engine and eight cars, which
were moving very slowly, struck the
street car, damaging it considerable
Fortunately, neither the street car
nor the railroad cars were going very
fast, and therefore, no one was injur-
ed. One freight car, loaded with pre-
pared sulphite wood, was tipped over
on it's side, and Frank Ticknor, brake
man, who was on top of this car jump
ed as it tipped over, and received no
injuries. If both the street car and
the railroad cars had been going at
more rapid speed, serious results
would have happened.

had $50 The city of Marshfeld had
619, village of Nekoosa 127, village of
Port Edwards SO, and the city of Pitts
vile 81. There were many peculiar in
cidents that occurred in many Of the
precincts in asking questions, but no
one reports any offensive action on
the part Of anybody who appeared for
registration.
In the estimates made by the bureau
Of Census in the Department of Com
naerce at Washington D. c., the esti-
mate they published for Wood county
was 1924. This was a close guess
to what was absolutely registered.
This goes to prove how accurate the
estimate was made before the regis
tration took place The difference Of
few persons may be accounted for
later in going over the total records.
If every county in the state made as
accurate a registration as the estimate
made for Wood county, there will pro-
baby be no occasion to arrest anybody
that failed to register.

PREDOMINATES
IN THIS CITY

On Tuesday Registration Day at the
close of an arduous days work by
nearly everybody, the people of Grand
Rapids thought it would be appropri-
ate and act as an endorsement and en-
couragement to the young men of
Grand Rapids and Wood couty, to hon
or the occasion by demonstration and
a public gathering at the Armory,
which occurred at 7:30 o'clock in the
evening. The members of Cavalry
Troop G, First Wisconsin Regiment,
met at the Amusement Hall and form
ed in line and marched to the St. Paul
Depot, where the Grand Rapids band
and large number of the young men
who had registered, during the day,
were awaiting them. The streets were
crowded with people to do them honor
A line of march was organized headed
by the band, followed by members of
Cavalry Troop G. and all the young
men who had registered during the
day. They made a fine appearance
nd marched to the Armory Hall where
that building was crowded to its ca
pacity. o very interesting evenings
jolifcation meeting took place in
which speeches and music predominant
ed. Everybody present was in good
humor, and indicated it by their hear
ty encore of every patriotic sentiment
expressed.

HATS OFF To
THE women IF
WISCONSIN

They have accomplished in one day
what the legislature of the state has
failed to do in months.
When the polling booths close at
nine o'clock tonight, 10000 copies of
the presidents war message, a patri-
otic document which Washington was
anxious to get into the hands of the
people, will have been distributed in
Wisconsin, and by the women.
Early in April Senator Wilcox of
Eau Claire introduced a resolution in
the state senate providing for the
printing and distribution in Wisconsin
of $4,000 copies of this message.
The senate adopted the resolution,
and sent it to the assembly.
The lower house laid the resolution
on the table, polite way of shelving
a measure.
Then followed the introduction of
an appropriation bill to take care of
the expense. The Wilkinson amend
ment was a practical endorsemet Of
the Presidents policy and endorsed
the declaration of war on Germany.
It was objected to by members of the
assembly in that it referred to the
nations fighting Germany as liberal
governments. They claimed that
some of them were not liberal. This
passed the senate, but when it went
over to the assembly it was amended
to make the number 100000. When
it went back to the senate Senator
Wilkinson introduced a further a.
mendment, which was the preamble
of the resolution which the senate had
tabled. The assembly killed this a
mendment last Friday, and the bill
still is in the lower house.
Before it can come up the women
of the state, thru the efforts Of Mrs.
H. H. Morgan of the state council of
defense, will have accomplished its
purpose.
An appeal from Washington to Mrs
Morgan resulted in Mrs. Morgan's ac-
tivity, and after an exchange of tele-
grams 10000 copies of the message
were on their way to Wisconsin, A
patriotic woman in Chicago furnished
the necessary funds, Mrs. Morgan and
her aids thruout the state did the rest.
If you notice a group of women at
your polling booth today you will
know now that they were a few of
the thousands all over the state who
had volunteered to carry out the
work. Their first purpose was to
place copy of the message in the
hands of every young man who regis
tered. The surplus was to be distrib-
uted to other citizens.
1t is said that member of the as
sembly will itroduce a resolution now
thanking the women for their work
and recognizing their ability to helr
| the nation in time of war.

Der, about 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
To make this trip he had hired a team

broken loose when the wagon tipped
over, and he buried underneath the
lumber. The body was recovered from
its position and a physician sent for,

dience that appreciated fully the eff
forts Of every performer who took a
part in the play. The young people
aqultted themselves with great credit
and many of them exhibited extraor-
dinary ability in taking their parts.
The training each member of the
cast received in preparing this play
is along certain lines of their educa-

gives them new angle to look at life
from. 1t was a great success from

penses of commencement week.

appreciated their every effort and they
received many compliments in the ex-
cellent rendition Of the program and
the whole evening exercises. The
young lady graduates all dressed in
white looked their prettiest and the
young men likewise. The music and
delivery of the orations were all fine
The young people were cortially en-
chored and many were the compli- 2
ments bestowed upo them. They all
have just reason for self pride in the
carrying out so nicely one of the most
interesting commencement programs
ever delivered in the Lincoln High

congratulations for so bright a future
that the class Of 1917 are about to
