JOE VEISANG
GETS ; YEARS

Joe Weisang, who managed to es-
cape conviction for the alleged theft
Of DR.. @. n. Mortenson's Liberty
Bonds on June 4th, last, found it more
difficult to evade the penalty of his
crime for raising the denomination of
U. S. currency, in the federal court in
Milwaukee last week. He was SEN
fenced to serve three years at hard la
Dor in Leavenworth prison.
Weisang was arrested in Amigo on
the charge more than a year ago, and
escaped from the officer who was TAX
ing him to Milwaukee while the train
was passing thru Manitowoc, and un-
til apprehended for the Liberty Bond
haul, successfully eluded the net of u.
s. Secret Service men who were on his
trail.
When he first was taken to Milwau-
kee from Grand Rapids he pleaded not
guilty, but after staying a few days
in jail. decided to change his plea, and
was accordingly brought in to court
and sentenced.

DANGERSFR0M
HIGH WATER
Grand Rapids Should Take Steps to
Protect City From Floods.

1t is unusual for the Wisconsin riv-
er to overflow her banks in the month
of March. Flood waters usually come
in May or June in the springtime, and
October and November in the fall. 1t
is an extraordinary condition that
brings water in March as it did this
season to the extent of Il feet on the
water guage.
Our greatest water came in June,
1880, when we had over IA and one
half feet of water. Ii was repeated in
1881 when we had almost as high wa
ter as the previous ssaar.-In 1000 we
had IA and one-half feet of water, and
it came in October, and at many other
times we have had floods in the Wis
consin river reaching from eight to
twelve feet.
This goes to prove that the Wis
consin river is likely to overflow her
banks any time of the year, except
the winter months.
The city of Grand Rapids should
take some steps to protect the busi-
ness portion, on the east side of the
river, or at a point running from op-
posite the Christian Science church to
the rear end of the Old Spafford store
building. This point should be protect
ed by strong dyke, so as to prevent
the river from overfowing at this
point and flooding the business portion
of the city of Grand Rapids. The Con-
solidated Water Power & Paper COM
pany are gradually narrowing up the
width of the Wisconsin river by max
ing the improvements that their indus
try demands The citizens of Grand
Rapids want this company to improve
and enlarge their capacity for the
manufacture OF Pulp, Sulphite paper
products to the extreme limit, but
there is a possibility that they may
encroach upon the river to such an ex-
tent that it may reach the danger
point. The erection of the new power
plant on the east end of their mill, and
the rock excavation that they are
dumping into the stream, all tends to
narrow the channel. These changes
are altering the flow of the water and
throwing it to the east side. In flood
time this makes it dangerous for the
property on the east bank of the riv-
er from the Library to the wagon
bridge During the past week the
food water of twelve feet filled all the
Easements on the shore properties
from the Library building to the
bridge The constant encroachment
upon either shore of the river within
the limits of Grand Rapids adds to
the danger from high water during
flood times.

CLEVER SCHEME:
LANDS YOUNG
BOY IN JAIL

Ed. Bender, aged IA years, was plac-
ed on probation by District Attorney
Calkins on Thursday, after he had
confessed to purchasing candy and
pastry in Johnson & Hills store and
charging the cost of the same to Fred
Leverance.
When first charged with the offense
the boy put up bold front and main
tanned that he had been authorized to
purchase the articles by another boy
and to leave them at the Elks Club for
Mrs. Leverance. Sheriff Bluett plac-
ed the boy in Jail and nights refec-
ton on his misdeeds was sufficient to
make him come clean and confess.
Some time ago the boy ascertained
by inquiry that Mr.. Leverance had an
account at the store. He then went
into the grocery department and made
several purchases. A few days later
ne worked the same scheme again
March first came, and Mr. Lever
ance complained that he was charged
with goods that had not been bought
by himself or family. From that time
on the store people were on the look
out, and when the boy came again
promptly, called in Chief of Police
Payne, while the lad was waiting fo1
/ his credit slip.

HIGH WATER FLOODS EAST SIDE
CELLARS;SOME DAMAGE RESULTS
Ice Goes Out With High Water-Milli0ns of Gal
Ions Pour Thru Gates in Dam in Past Week
Water Higher Upstream Than Here, Is
Report.

After flooding all the cellars adja-
cent to the shore, overfowing the Con-
solidated park and creating what dam
age it could the Wisconsin river which
reached a flood stage of almost twelve
feet on Sunday, gradually subsidized un-
til drop Of several feet was record
ed.
Last week when the northern lights
We're visible, old settlers declared that
the end of winter was at hand. They
were right; for within day or so the
ice commenced to move out and with
its departure came high water, an
unusual thing this early in the year.
By Friday the water had invaded
the easements of business houses "a
long First street to the bridge and in
some cases the water rose high enough
to flood baements of firms on the west
side. With flooded easements no fires
could be built in the furnaces and most
of the riverside stores were heatless
for number of days.
Water invaded the basement OF the
First Congregational church and Sun
day portion of the services were held
in the Elks Club, that order kindly do
mating the use of the building.
Warnings were sent down the Yer
from Wausau to look for a fourteen
foot stage, but it did not materializo.
Early in the game the CONSOLIDATED
Park mmenced to become inundated,
and bags of sand were laid along the
shore to rip-rap the bank and prevent
washing. This precaution was made
quate as the water soon surged over
the bags and cut across the park In
the rear Of the office. Sunday another
bulwark Of bags was constructed along
the shoreline which was effective in
turning the current aside
According to reports received at the
mill here, 100000 feet of timber
broke loose at Merrill early Saturday,
but none of the logs seem to have come
this far south
Great fears were expressed during
the crest of the high water that if it
continued to rise the city might be
without lights and power, as the tur-
bines at the Consolidated were being
affected by the back water. Some
trouble was experienced at both the
mill here and at Biron and down the
river, but the wheels were kept turn
ing.
Though the flood caused consider
able Inconvenience little actual dam
age was done Floating ice tore out
the supports of the veranda Of the A
musement Hall, and also damaged the
foundations of several other buildings
nearby.
The swimming pool will also need
some slight repairs it is believed.

THIS ONE
GOT Caught

The conviction of Senator Newber-
ry of Michigan brings to mind the old
days when Senator Lorimer of Illinois
was expelled from the senate for hav-
ing purchased his seat.
Lorimer was caught and paid the
penalty. Newberry was caught and
is in process of sharing Lorimer's fate
with a prison sentence added if the
supreme court sustains the verdict of
the lower court.
If Mr.. Newberry is tried before the
bar of the senate will his judges all
be of clean hands and minds and
hearts?
Will there be none among them
who has spent more than the law al
lows IN securing his election.
VIII a halo of spotless purity
wreathe the brows of these distin-
guished gentlemen who must pass
judgment upon the acts of their fel-
low senator?
We wonder-yes, we wonder!

COUNTY AGENT. CLARK RESIGNS

After having served as county farm
agent and advisor for d period of six
years, w. w. Clark, has rendered his
resignation to the agricultural commit
tee of the county board and will re-
tire from public life to devote his time
to farming on the Jackson and Clark
farm in Hansen, this county.
During his tenure cf office Mr.. Clark
has devoted great deal of time and
attention to the propagation of pure
blooded dairy and beef animals and to
promoting the stock raising industry
to a high standard in Wood county.
About one year age Mr. Clark was
under fire and demanded an investi-
cation by the county board of charges
brought against him to the effect that
he had used his office to promote his
own interests as a farmer. This in
vestigation resulted in the board Civ
ing him a clean bill of health. During
this inves tigation, Mr.. Clark stated on
the stand that his farming interests
had increased to point where he was
losing money to continue IN the coun-
ty work, and this undoubtedly hasten
ed his decision TO resign.

committee, James Lewis, j. C. Kief-
/ fer, Auburndale, J Esser, Marshfeld

no uncommon sight to see a saucy
little squirrel standing on his knee
ana eating trustingly from his hand
or sticking it's paw into his vest

"Mac" is also the head and chief

of the kind in existence, the K K X.
No. 23 of Eau Claire, with periodical
dues of % cents and with 223 mem

Klu KluX Klan, but for Korkers'
klub of Kindness, or most popularity
known as the Kork Klub.
The insignia of the Klub is the
kork, which each member carries.
The manipulation of this kork, ac-
cording to certain forms prescribed
to korkers only, forms one OF the
ceremonials of the klub, but the
korks are never manipulated from
or into the neck of a bottle. 1t is
not a klub resulting from the ma
tional drouth of July l, but is just
what the name implies, the K. K. of
Kindness. It includes in its cos
mopolitan membership judges, cir
cult, county and municipal; priests
and ministers, lawyers, doctors,
newspaper editors, printers; in fact,
every line of endeavor is represented.
Among its functions, and "Mae"
always on the job, are such things
as sending flowers, baskets and 9th
er greetings or remembrances to
members who are i'll or whose family
is stricken, to bereaved members and
also charitable work.
"Mac" is the man who started
the Korkers' Klub, as described, and
there has been a merry scramble to
join the organization ever since.
Matthew J. McRaith was born in
Grand Rapids, Wisconsin, where he
spent the early days of his life. Twen-
ty-fve years ago he went to Marinette
Wisconsin, where he remained twelve
years with William Steinle, the drug
gist. Since that time he has been a
resident of Eau Claire.
