OUR MAN ABOUT TOWN.

The democracy of this place are fzzling
out. In times of yore they used to have
pretty good turn-outs to their meetings,
but, as is NATURAL enough their enthu-
siasm fails in the same degree that their
party is losing strength. On Saturday
they circulated and posted very indus
triously handbills, informing the people
that a meeting, ratifying the nomination
Of Mr. Villas, would take place at the
Williams House After waiting very
patiently for the multitude that was to
assemble, Mr. Villas was called upon for a
speech. and just imagine the ''pheelinks'
of the speaker, when he could only
count forty.fUe democrats who had re-
sponded to the call How are you 1900
majority ?.........A good deal of wheat
has already been threshed in this county.
A large amount still remains to be thresh-
ed.........We have heard some complaints
about gardens being robbed It's poor
business. Better stop it. A boy was shot
In nelghboring town not long since
while engaged in that business. Man
itowoc will soon have another brass band.
The money for that purpose has been
raised.........There was a musk peddler
around town one day last week and the
streets were beautifully scented for sew
erai hours. Singers Sewing Ma
chine advertisement will be found in
another column. These machines sell
very fast. The brick building Just
erected on Quay street, near Eighth, is
owned by Mr.. RipDlinger, and not Mr.
Axen, as stated by US few weeks ago
1.-THE front of the Windiate House
has been considerably improved by large
gilt letters designating the name Of the
hotel, being placed on the building. "A
good deal of building is still going on......
A crib for the north harbor pier was
sunk on Monday After one more crib
is sunk the piers viii not be extended
any further this year. From the
pile Of Dry Goods boxes by the side of
Torrson S store we should judge that en-
terprlsing merchant had received an I'M
usually large stock........A large cream
colored boss, attached to single
wagon, created some excitement on Tues
day last by making run on the sidewalk,
home run probably. He broke the
wagon some. Frank Wallace has a
washing boiler, or an attachment to.one
that is worth to any family twice what it
costs, $500. ..Goodenow & Barnes
are selling goods so low that poor man
can buy himself rich there without half
trying. They are just receiving new goods
....."..There are about 400 scholars in
regular attendance at the LIST District
school, Parents are requested to visit
the same. .........Tomatoes are retailing
for Sets a pound. We. used to buy a
bushel for the same money.

The Appleton Crescent of last week
has the following in regard to the NJ. &
u. r. r.
1.-THE Pres of this Co., infors us that
in our article last week on the subject OF
this road, we were in error in the names
of the persons in New York upon whom
the company rely to furnish the iron for
the road, as soon as the some shall be
made ready to receive it. We were led
into this error from letters received from
good authority in New York informing
us that Mr.. Reed, the President of the
company, would proceed in procuring a
contract for the iron when tn e. means
were assured for the completion of the
road-bed, and from the additional fact
that the persons named in the article
were consulted on the the subject Mr.
Barney, will act as trustee Of the holders
OF the first mortgage bonds of the com
pany which are to be used only for the
purchase of the iron and equipments and
will not be issued until the means are
provided for the completion of the track
| ready for the Iron. This of itself to all
who know Mr.. Barney, as do most Of ou1
business men, is a sufficient guaranty OF
good faith. The Pres't Of the Co. tells US
1t is not the design of the company to ex-
pend any money in the construction Of
the road Unt1 the iron stall hare been con
trdcted for acith responsible parties that
+ estimates will be made of the cost of fin
ishing the grading and tieing of the track
and of the remainder of the right Of way
of the road to Menasha and Appleton.
aud if the community more Immediately
interested in the construction of the road
shall agree to furnish the limited amount
Of means required by the company, to
prepare the present track ready for the
iron, this portion of the road will be COM
pleted within ne ensuing year.
The fres't Of the road also informs
us that he does not see how the land
grant we mentioned can be made ayaila-
bic in aiding the construction Of any por-
ton Of the road of the company, and he
contemplates nothing Of the kind there
from a connection with that road if built
which is quite predetermined, Judging
from the past action on the part OF
the land grant companies.

DIED.

On Monday night, September I, Mrs
LYDIA b. OLMsrED, aged 6S years.
Mrs. Olmsed came to this place,
from New York State about II years ago
During this long residence she has drawn
around her large circle of warm friends,
who will al ways cherish her memory.
For number of years past she has been
in feeble health, but during all her suf-
fering, her goodness Of heart was espec-
tally noticeable, for she always had gen
tie word for those who visited her.
The funeral took place yesterday at
the residence of her sou, and was largely
attended
At his residence in this village, on the
8th inst, Q. H. CARPENTER, Esq, in
the 55th year Of his age
1t is seldom that we have been called
upoA to record the demise Of man more
universally respected and esteemed than
he whose name is contained in the above
notice lie was an old resideut-some
thirteen years did he claim Manitowoc
as his home He came, originally from
Vermont to this place, at time when
the country was little better than wilder
ness. He went into business, and for
many years was closely identified with the
interests Of the town Later he made
two trips TO California and only short
time since returned from trip to Idaho,
wholly broken down in health, the result
Of severe exposure and fatigue He
lived long enough to visit his old acquain
tances, then took his bed and quietly
awaited the termination of his eventful
life. m
Mr.. G. was one of those scrupulously
honest men so seldom met with in this
fast age. He told friend only day or
two ago thai there was no act of his life
with his fellow men which he would have
annulled. Would that ali men were like
him in this respect. He was man of
superior intelligence, having a good
memory and being a constant reader. As
business man he was quite successful
having practiced economy and labcred
industrieusly all his life. We fear he
labored too hard for his own good. The
funeral took place yesterday at O. clock
p. m. Rev. 7. B. Dooley officiated.
There was large attendance and the
services were of an interesting character.
