DEATH FROM FRIGHT The New York
Tribune of September llth has the fol-
lowing Mrs. Watts, lately residing in +
street, between Franklin and Union av.
enues (Sevcnteenth Ward), Brooklyn,
died yesterday morning Of paralysis,
caused by fright at the appearance OF
two burglars in herroom on the morn
ing of the 7th instant. Mr.. Watts was
absent at the time the burglars made
their visit. The burglars ransacked the
house ut their leisure, lighting the gas
on both floors and in Mrs. Watts sleep
ing room, and helped themselves to liq-
uors and eatablcs. They took S25 from
q pocketbook in Mrs. Watts dress,
throwing the pocketbook on the floor,
but left the silver plate undisturbed.
Mrs. Watts was awake and witnessed
the actions of the burglars, but was un-
able to raise an alarm, being parnlyzed
with fright. She recovered her speech
but once since the occurrence, on the
occasion Of her husbands return, when
she related what had happened, but inn
mediately reIapsed into her former con-
di,ion of insensibility, and thus fingered
until she died, as stated above.

FIRES DURING THE WEEK.
One Mill and three Barns Destroyed

On Saturday last, about midnight, fire
was discovered in the barns of Moritz
Kiel, on the Town Line Road, about four
miles from this Village. There were
three barns together, and all were de-
stroyed, together with quantity of hay,
two calves and number of pigs which
were shut up In the pen. Fine is report
ed to have taken from an oven. Loss
So 200 Insured for $1,000 in Milwaukee
Mutual.
On Friday forenoon last fire was dis
covered in the upper part of the mill
building located up the Manitowoc river
some six miles, known as the Baker mills
and before any thing could be done to
stop the progress of the flames, the mill,
large quantity of tools and other prop
eIty were totally destroyed. Loss about
$1,000, no insurance The circumstan-
ces attending this fire are rs follows:
Mr.. Charles Kunz has lately purchased
the property and was engaged in con-
verting it into grist miii--it was built
for saving and dressing stone On the
day of the fire Mr.. Thos. Baker was at
the mill and held conversation with Mr..
Kunz in one of the upper stories. Mr..
K. was obliged to go to his men and Mr..
Baker was left alone, but he soon went
away and a few minutes after the fire
was discovered. Mr.. Kunz came to town
and had warrant issued for the arrest
of Mr.. Baker, who when taken waived
examination and gave $4,000 bail for his
appearance when wanted for trial Mr.
Baker is one of the Oldest residents of
this county and has been known as hard
working, energetic, though not success
full business man. We hope he will be
able to clear himself of the charge against
him.

THE METHODIST CHURCH.
It's Enlargement, new Steeple, new
Bell and other Improvements.

The Methodist Episcopal church has
been undergoing quite a transformation
during month or two past. The front
end of the church was taken out and
twelve additional feet added to its length,
giving room for sixteen new seats. The
church is now 32x59, and it will easily
accommodate over $50 persons. The sing
ers seats were altered somewhat and
greatly improved. The two small front
doors have given place to one double door
which opens into an entry. The walls
have received hard finish of plaster of
paris and look very neat and clean.
There are various other improvements
which We cannot enumerate here. The
steeple, which has just been put up, adds
greatly to the appearance of the church
and to that part of the town. 1t is
seventy-two feet in hight and can be seen
long distance out on the lake. 1t is
rather peculiar in It's construction, but as
no two persons ever have the same opin-
ion in regard to church spire we do not
think any one can find any fault. To be
hung in this new belfry new Steel Com
position bell thirty-six inches in diameter
has been purchased and brought to town
It's weight in gross is 500 pounds, but the
bare bell weighs $50 pounds. 1t is from
the munufactory of Blymer Fearing &
Co., Cincinnati, and cost about 1920.
The list price is, however, $50. In
regard to its tone we are not as yet able
to give fair opinion, for it has only
been rung in the yard in front of the
church, still we do not hesitate to say We
believe it to be the best bell in the place.
Its tones are not as deep and full as some
bells have, but it has ringing quality, a
purity of resonance which we infinitely
prefer. The bell, we believe. gives per
feet satisfaction. In addition to the i'm
provements we have named the church
has just decided to go on and build a
lecture room in the rear of the main
building which is to be l4x2S. This will
be good~thing for the society and will
keep their church neat and tidy. We
are pleased to note this evidence of pros
perity and hope other churches will show
the same public spirit.

PROGRAMMES:

The programme was carried cut on the
part of the children in a creditable man
ner, and gave evidence of much labor on
the part of the Teachers under whose
charge they have been.
After the exhibition the children re-

treated with an ample repast, which they
enjoyed hugely. At late hour all went
home well pleased with the entertainment.

HINTS TO BUTTER MAKERS. -Be sure
and get the milk out of your butter.
Plenty of cold water and exercise will do
it. Butter will not keep any length of
time if any milk be left in it, and it is
just as easy to make a prime article as a
poor one. Use the Ashton Factory Filled
Salt, which is altogether the best for but
ter. Choice butter, remember, always
brings a good price.

will embrace great variety of styles
Every selection is presented to the audi,
ence from memory, thus enabling the
speaker to use unrestrictedly language of
eye, face and gesture. Mr.. L. has wide
reputation, and will no doubt give our
citizens very instructive, impressiveand
amusing entertainment.

water power without dam. A race way
was cut through solid rock distance of
nearly 400 feet to depth of about II
feet, and Is feet In width. The day we
were there the water was very low but
the mill was running and not using one
half the water. This is triumph over
difficulties worthy of commentator.
In the cool of the day-when the Their
mometer indicated only 95. in the shade
we started to visit some farms in a
north west direction; we found better
places than we supposed existed in the
county. Talking with the farmers as we
passed along we found them tor the most
part thinking men and well posted in
regard to their occupation. That even
ing we brought up at the residence of
Mr.. n. A. Harris at Nettle Hill. We
spent very pleasant evening in CONVEX
sation with Mr.. H. and family. and retired
just as pleasant shower OF rain visited
the parched and thirsty earth, bringing
with it revivifying influence and cool
breeze which puts fellow in splendid
condition for sleep. The next morning
Mr.. H. showed US his excellent garden
and the surrounding country from the
cupola of his fine large house. when bid
ding our host and his wife good morning
we set out for home.
At the mills of Benjamin & Brown we
found everything stirring The large
circular was busy cutting out bill of
long timber and though it was very hot,
the logs went into one end of the mill
and out at the other with surprising
rapidity.
AT THE BRANCH
we found Pierce & Slye working away
like beavers, digging out the earth to lay
the foundations of a new grist mill, which
when completed is to be 3Ox4O, 81 stories
high. 1t is to have two run of stone and
Is expected to be in running order by the
first of November The new Butler &
Evarts Shingle Mill just put in by this
firm gives excellent satisfaction and runs
nicely. Having plenty of logs this firm
will probably soon have shingles on the
market.
Probably one of the best farms In the
county is that of Hiram McAllister, four
miles from town. In many respects it is
superior to any we saw in tramp of
thirty miles. He has 17S acres in one
piece, all but IS acres of wood land,
being under cultivation. The proprietor
went on this land in 1910 and has con-
tinued to cultivate it until now His
fields are as smooth as house floor; he
has large commodious house and out
buildings without number; his barns
being very large and possessing every
of modern date. His farm
product this year is mostly hay, but like
his neighbors he has light crop owing
to the dry weather. The grass hoppers
have done some damage but nothing
serious. In fact throughout the whole
county we think the ravages committed
by this pest have been decidedly over
rated. True, few farmers have suffer
ed to an extent of some hundreds of dol
lars, but we only met with one such case
The same may be said of the potatoe
bug. Where we went the injury done
is so slight as to be hardly worth men
tioning.
Our thanks are due to many hospitable
friends for their enterta nment and for
their offer to take us to torn. We are
just as much obliged as though they had
done so. We arrived home feeling
much better for our walk.

TIMBER FOR THE NEW STEAMER.

TIMBER FOR THE NEW STEAMER. =
Capt T. G. Butlin, the able general SUI
perintendent of the steamers belonging
to the Goodrich line, went to Green Bay
on the Ottawa, this week, to purchase
the timber to be used in the construction
of the new steamer at Manitowoc. She
will probably be finished by the opening
of navigation.
You are mistaken Mr.. Sentinel There
is already more than sufficient oak timber
in the yard to build the new steamer, all
of which is of the best quality-not sur
passed anywhere All that Capt Butlin
went to Green Bay for was to purchase
few hundred feet of Norway pine 1t
seems to us that the efforts of our Mil
waukee contemporary to make out that
there is no material here to build steam
boats of, are ludicrous.

EDS TRIBUNE.
Resolved to act on that editorial hint
to your Irregular correspondents in Two
Rivers, p" [ shall henceforth eschcw per-
sonalities, and leave "E'' alone in his
glory and -nothingness and now for
items.
A series Of petty thcfts have been re-
Gently enacted in this village. On the
night of the 18th inst, some chap intent
on ''raising the wind" entered Karnos-
sky saloon and decamped with small
sum of money and several boxes of CT
CARS. The adventure doubtless tended
in smoke,'' Karnossky is good fellow
and likes to be patronized but not to such
an unlimited extent. Another house
was entered on the afternoon of the 10Th
while the family were absent, but this
time the fortune-hunter was egregiously
sold the stamps that greeted his eager
vision dwindling to the small proportions
of twenty-five cents. On Monday or
Tuesday of last week SO were stolen
from saloon near Whitcomb's Tannery.
Apparently some individual ardently de-
sires residence in Waupun. Our citi-
zens cordially reciprocate the feeling, and
hope the wish may be gratifcd.
Your Manitowoc burghcrs who partici-
pated in the excursion of last Sunday
seemed to appreciate our rural advanta-
ges and lager beer amazingly; especially
the latter. They are however rare set
of good fellows and we hope their visits
may be more frequent in future. i.

Potato Bug KILLER. following
remedy for potato bugs we find in the
Calumet County Reflector. o. 2. Ed
ridge of Stockbridge, who has used it
with effect writes: ''It may interest peo-
pie to find a receipt for destroying the
potato bug. | have killed them on my
vines by putting on Paris Green. Put it
in cloth bag and sift it on the vines when
they are wet with dew: 1t kills them al
most instantly. 1t may be necessary to
put 1t on some hills twice, alter the eggs
hatch out, but [ think one application
will be sufficient.
Another remedy is: Brush them off in
the heat of the day and soon there will
be none to brush off.
