L. ROCKKE, Mayor, Clerk. Nash MannB Nuptials. The marriage of Mr. Frank Nash, of Nekoosa, and Miss Carrie Manns, of the town of Saratoga, took place at the Roman Catholic church last Tuesday morning.

Rev. W. F. Van Roosmalen conducting the ceremony. At the conclusion of the solemn service, the wedding drove to the residence of the bride's parents and the usual wedding festivities, including a sumptuous repast at the noon hour, were indulged in.

Mr. Nash is an overseer in one of the departments of the Nekoosa Paper Co. and is universally respected by those who know him. His bride is an accomplished lady who has many friends at Nekoosa, where they will make their future homo Death oT John Dean. A telegram was received last Wednesday from the officers of the Odd Fellows' lodge at Thief River Falls, announcing the death of John Dean, a former citizen of Grand Rapids, who died in the hospital of that city at about ten o'clock of that day, of consumption.

As it was Mr. Dean's request to be buried at Thief River Falls, it was decided to comply therewith, after consulting with his surviving relatives. Shocking Last Wednesday was a sad day in the -homf of Mrs. Mary J. Warren in Grand Rapids.

On that day she received the news, by long distance telephone, that her youngest son, Lauren Warren, had lost his left arm while working with a corn husker on a farm near Berlin. The arm was mutilated in a shocking manner. It was apparent that an amputation would be necessary and at first the doctors thought an amputation at the elbow would be sufficient, but upon closer examination it was found that the arm would have to come off about six inches below the shoulder, which was accordingly done. A Berlin paper has the following account of the accident: He was feeding the machine and in some mariner his hand, which was covered "by a mitten, was caught in between the rollers and before the machine could be brought to a stop the arm was drawn in up to the elbow, lacerating the flesh and crushing the bones in a terrible manner. The member was literally crushed to a pulp and so tightly was it wedged in between the rollers that it was necessarv to take the forward part of the machine to pieces before the injured man could be released.

Nearly half an hour was required to extricate the arm. Warren was very plucky, however, despite the terrible pain. To expedite matters he took out his knife with his free hand and cut away the hand at the wrist. Lauren is the youngest of a family of five boys, now as widely scattered as brothers can well be. One is in Alaska, one in Wauwatosa, one in Chicago, one in Grand Rapids and the other is the unfortunate victim of the accident above referred to.

He will be brought home, as soon as the nature of his injury will peimit. Death of F. R. Finley. Francis A.

Finley died at his home in the town of Saratoga last Saturday' morning, Nov. 12th, at an early hour. Mr. Finley has been indisposed for several months. He has, however, been able to make occasional trips to town and even during the past month has assisted in marketing his crops.

His complexion and general appearance, however, betokened the fact that he was not long for this world. Cancer of the stomach was supposed to be the cause of his suffering and death. Mr. Finley was a man of about forty- two years of age. He has long been a resident of Wood county.

For a time he was chairman of his town and held other positionsof trust and honor. The funeral services were held at the Roman Catholic church in Grand Rapids, on Tuesday forenoon at ten o'clock, Rev. W. F. Van Roosmalen conducting the same.

County Board. The county board has been in session since last Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. A full representation of the county fathers has been present. For a day or two, it looked as if the present meeting would be a record breaker in point of brevity. The committees got to work promptly and worked diligently.

Even the committee on equalization of the county assessment which usually has a hard time coming to terms, finished their labors as as Wednesday night. But other things intervened to prevent an early adjournment, and at the hour of going to press was still in session, although thej- expect to get through to-day. Business IVlen's Ttssociation. The first meeting of the Business Men's Association since the 'midsummer vacation was held last evening. Owing to the non-delivery of the postal card notices, there was not much of a representation from this city, although Grand Rapids was fairly well represented.

Matters of general interest were informally talked over and a line of action wherein the B. M. -V. would be of great service to this community laid out. Nothing, however, was done, and in view of the circumstances an adjournment was taken until next Friday evening, Nov.

25th. Let every business man out on that evening. There is work to do. Arthur Layton, of London, England, known to twin city people as Miss Mabel Ingraham, sailed for this country on the 16th and expects to arrive in this city on the 26th or 27th. She comes alone, but expects to be joined by her husband in about a month.

She contemplates mak ng a three months' visit to old haunts and among old friends in these cities, at Madison and at Milwaukee, dividing her time about equally between the planes named. That she will receive a warm welcome by her many friends in the twin cities goes I without saying-. Local Kddenda. D. J.

Congregational Sabbath School of Grand Rapids has decided by a motion carried unanimously to give a Christmas cantata for the benefit of their treasury, at the Grand opera house on Friday evening, Dec. 23rd. Tne committee appointed to look after the details are Mrs. O.

T. Hougen, Mrs. F. J. Wood and Mr.

E. C. Ketchum. King, of this city, added one more to his long list of misfortunes last Thursday. While working for the John Edwards M'f'g Co.

at Port Edwards on that day, an embankment caved in on him and broke one bone of his leg above the ankle. He was brought to his home in this city and Dr. Ridgman was called to attend him. Mr. King will probably be confined to his bed for several weeks.
