The Jones Library Association

On Monday evening last the Board of
Directors of the Jones Library association
assembled for the transaction of such bu-
siness as might come before them. Dur
ing the session Col. X. K. Jones of Quin-
cy Ills, who was stopping in town at the
time, made his appearance and was
warmly greeted by his old friends A
recess was taken and several hours were
spent in talking over the prospects of
our thriving Association. Mr.. Jones
being assured that his munifcent gift
of a house and lot for Library purposes
was being well used proposed to the Di-
rectors to do still more for the town.
He was anxious, he said. to see society
for the collection of Historical incidents of
the County organized under the con-
troll of the Library Association. He was
willing to aid such an Institution and
offered two village lots, or 500. AS the
lots are thought to be worth in the neigh.
borhood of $3.50 they will probably be
accepted, and as soon as the proper man
for the work can be found it will be COM
menced. A resolution was offered re-
questing Col Jones to sit for portrait to
be hung in the Library rooms. He said
that he would himself furnish portrait
if the members of the Board would do
likewise. This was consented to and we
expect full length likeness OF the man
who has done so much for this place.
The Board adjourned at late hour feel
ing decidedly good.

DIED.


On the 4th inst, after short illness,
Mrs. MARION A. SHELDON, aged thirty
four years.
The above announcement closes the
earthly record of one who will be long
remembered in our community. Mrs.
Sheldon had resided for several years past
in Oswego New York and was at the time
of her death visiting the family of her
brother, Mr.. Henry Wilcox of this vii
lage. She had been among us but few
months, yet during her briet stay she had
drawn around her circle of warm, APP
preciating friends, who will cherish a
lively recollection of her rare qualities of
head and heart; her superior conyersa-
tional powers her vivacity; her quick
intelligence; her kindness of heart, that
ever prompted the gentle word to all, of,
every class and station; her charity,
that gave without ostentation; her for
getfulness Of self and consideration for
others-which was most fully exhibited
during her last a i'd most painful sickness
entertaining and attractive in society
prominent in every good and charitable
work; tenderly afectionate towards those
with whom she was more nearly connect
ed, the sadness which must follow the
loss of such an one will be mitigated only
by the reasonable assurance she left be-
hind that for her the grave was but the
portal to more blessed and glorious ex-
lStence

independence Day.

The ninety-second anniversary of the
Republic was celebrated in this Village
and county in about the usual way. The
morning broke in upon us exceedingly hot
and as the day advanced the heat continu-
ed to be very oppressive.
IN MANITowoC
A salute was fired at sunrise, the band
playing national airs, and the national
flag was thrown out to the breeze from
many flag staff and the mast of the
shipping in the village. About 9 clock
a procession was formed which marched
to the park on the North side where ora
tons in the English and German Ian
guages were delivered and the declara-
ton read by the gentlemen previously
announced.
On account of the intense heat the
participants in the public celebrations
were not as large as they would have BEEN
The most of our citizens passed the hours
of the day as best pleased them Many,
in order to enjoy what little breeze there
was, sought the groves along the shore of
the lake, where they enjoyed basket
picnic to their hearts content But by
far the largest crowd assembled at Ger
phiede's Garden. At this summer resort
an extensive programme was laid out for
the day of jubilee, consisting of music
dancing, etc. Order and decorum were
preserved, as is always the case at this
place of amusement, while all present
were enjoying themselves.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, the Hit
temhard Base Ball Club, repaired to
their grounds to play game. The first
five innings exhibited some excellent play
ing on both side, but the outrageous heat
finally made the boys wilt and the game
was called before it was completed.
The good steamer -4zpena, gaily decora-
ted, arrived at the North pier on her ex-
cursion trip north, at an early hour in
the morning. Those who took a part in
the excursion, must have had a very
good time, for on the lake it was cool
enough for real enjoyment
The Fair and Festival given by the La
dies of the Episcopal church, was well
attended, both in the afternoon and eve
ming. The warm weather added consid-
erably to their receipts, by making
ready sale for large quantities of ice
cream and lemonade The entire profits
amounted to $3.50 or over
In the evening a grand ball took place
at the Turner Hail. The room was well
filed and those who participated in the
dance appeared to enjoy it. The display
of fireworks in the different portions of
the village were not of very extensive
hcaracter, but full as numerous as they
are when under private manage
ment.

LETTER FROM TWO RIVERS.
Two RIVERS July 9th, Is


EDS. TRIBUNE:-Of course you will
desire to know how the Fourth of July
passed at this place. Well, I propose to
tell you, and as we are not ashamed of
our actions, nor our town, l do not want
my letter put away In some corner where
it may not be seen, as your correspondent
"K" seemed DESTROYS for having you do
with his effusion. There are many here
who think it shame Of him to write as
he does of our town. just as though
this place was thought nothing of because
he does not like it In every letter he
has written to the TRIBUNE he has spoken
i'll of US, when it should be his desire to
build up the place by saying what he
can in its favor This, we have reason to
believe, would suit you, as well as resi-
dents here But Two Rivers will be
built up in spite of him. Many improv-
ments are going on, one of the most i'm
portant is new brick yard being put up
by DIR. John Oswald which will be in
operation in about three weeks.
But the Fourth was what [ started to
tell you of. At 9 a. M, procession was
formed, headed by the Two Rivers Brass
Band. After marching about town it
returned to the Public Square, where
speeches were made by Rev. G. W.
Wilson, j. Magen and DIR. John Oswald.
The Declaration of Independence was
read by H. HI. Smith in English and by
Edward Muller in German. Our citi-
zens then retired for dinner, after which
a visit was made to Picnic Hill where
music and dancing was the order until
six o clock. In the evening there was
fine display of fireworks, and a grand
shaking of the toe at Turner Hall. ''E'

THE WAUGosUANCE GOLFER DAM
We learn from Mackinac that the work
OF sinking the iron Golfer dam around
Waugoshance Lighthouse has been accom-
plished in highly successful manner by
Gen. VIM. Smith, formerly ofGen Grant S
staff. 1t has ever been problem how
to place a solid wall on firm foundation
at any considerable distance below the
surface of the water. General Smith has
succeeded in sinking this dam II feet
, inches below the surface At this
point he has reached a good foundation
for solid wall of masonry, which is TO
extend entirely around the base Of the
OF the tower at d depth Of about six feet
below the original foundation, but will be
entirely distinct from it. This is done in
order to prevent the undermining of the
tower by the action Of the water Dur
ing storm the sea at this point is usual
ly very heavy, the water having been
known to strike the top of the tower,
which is one hundred feet high and the
lateral motion Of the tower has been at
times so great as to threatenits overthrow,
This owing to the fact that the pier on
which it stands is one solid crib structure,
filled with rocks and concrete, resting on
an uneven insecure surface, at the depth
Of about six feet, and projecting two feet
above the water. Thus great surface
was exposed to the action Of the water,
and as the timbers were all firmly bolted
together, the whole structure received
the shock ofeYery conclusion Of the waves.
The General cutaway a PORTION of the pier
encircling the tower, between the base
Of the latter and the outer part Of the for
mer, and lowered his dam which is about
ten feet wide, into the space thus cleared
This dam Is nothing more or less than
huge diving bell, bat instead of being
bell shaped it is circular, the tower being
in the centre. The novelty of the dam is
this, that instead of puming the water
dam by of air which is forced into it
water is kept at the depth of only few
inches constantly. The dam is entered
by means Of an air lock Of the Genrals
invention. Between rs and 100 work
men can be employed inside convenient
" at one time, A pressure of 81 pounds
to the square inch is constantly required
to keep the water from rushing up. Thus
the workmen are enabled to go directly
TO the bottom OF the lake with their picks
and shoyels, and remove the sand and
gravel and prepare good foundation for
a wall. At the present time this foun-
dation Is prepared. The next thing to
be done is to cover the bottom with ce
ment sufficiently to make it water tight
Then the whole covering of the dam will
be taken off and wall of cut stone erect
ed within the iron curbing thus left in
place of the dam. In this manner the
tower will be protected from that violent
force to which it has heretofore been sub
jeted. An appropriation of $3.50, 900 has
been made by Congress, but it is not ex-
pected that this will be sufficient. 1t
will probably require $50, 900 to complete
the work, which is being pushed forward
as fast as possible. The undertaking re-
fleets great credit upon Gen. Smith, and
marks the dawning of of new era in
lighthouse building, particularly along
the sea coast.

We, William Stucke and Wenzel
Dworaa, admit that the foregoing paper
referring to aGbelous circular issued some
time ago by the Manitowoc Nord Westen
was composed By and with our advice and
that we have become satisfied that the

The Goodrich Transportation COM
pany has sold the steamer Northeast to
the proprietors of the Detroit and Cleye-
land line Of steamers. We have been
unable to learn the price paid for her
Our exchanges give it all the way from
$115, 900 to IT'S, 900. We think that we
could make quite as good guess as our
contemporaries, but of course it would be
nothing more than guess, and amount
to nothing.

New School Project

Some of our most influential men are
now of the opinion that every ward in
the village should have its district school
and then the village should build one
High School for the benefit of advanced
scholars. The idea is good one. Larg-
err numbers of our young folks are being
sent away to school every year that might
just as we'll be kept at home, and others
might receive better educations than they
do, who are not able to 60 away We

The hon field near Branch Mills looks
0. r. SMITH, President.
W. II. A.

The hop field near Branch Mills looks
finely and promises 2 good yield, if the
louise will not appear in sufficient num-
bers to damage the crop. A correspond
ent of the Monroe Sentinel from Kilburn
city says that this dangerous insect 'has
made its appearance in many yards, but
not in sufficient numbers, SO far as learn
ed, to give cause of alarm. However it
is yet too soon to foretell the result, and
with the known fact that the hops may
thrive finely up to the 10th and 25th of
August, the burr is fully developed
and then be destroyed in week as tho
by the evil one, it behooves every hop
grower to be fully prepared to commence
picking at moments warning-even by
the Goth of August, if necessary, wheth
er the hops are sufficiently ripe or not.
Imsuatured hops will sell for first quality,
while lousy hops are of but little value. y
