"A day or two since we were at the
grist lnill OF Chas KIingholz in the town
OF Rapids. We were pleased with the
working Of one piece Of machinery-the
Smut Machine 1t took the wheat dirty,
gave 1t most lively shakingup and turned
it out clean. We could not help think
ing that newspaper should strive to
emulate the good qualities of this mill,
and whatever subject it handles strive to
blow away the dust and dirt and leave it
bright and free from all impurity. We
may have failed in our endeavors to do
this but we have at least gained the title
of the ''Smut Machine"

elections, in our remarks concerning the
result appeared the following:
For Police Justice,
Mr. W. F. Eldridge was elected through
the efforts of ward politician over the
river named White. This fellow has
pretended to be for some time past a re-
publican, and perhaps to get Office has
voted our ticket, but at the village con-
vention which met last week he made a
| vigorous effort to get the nomination for
Police Justice and was fairly beaten by
Mr.. Don A. Shove. White then went
to work for the regular democratic
nominee, and succeeding in defeating our
candidate, proving the truth of the ad-
dage that an enemy who claims to be
your friend is more dangerous than a
dozen eutspoken foes But there is a
consolation in the fact that we know
where he now stands, and perhaps the
party is rid of him as cheaply as it ever
could be.
After long deliberation, Mr.. White has
published reply in the organs of his
party and he says the Machine prob
ably refers TO the TRIBUNE-''hes'' when
it says he was fairly beaten in the CON
vention.
We wish no controversy with Mr..
White, and 1oiU haze none, our space
being by far too valuable to waste in de-
molishing black guards, but we wish
merely to state the proceedings of the
Convention and there the matter forever
rests, as far as we are concerned.
On proceeding to vote for candidate
for Office of Police Justice, one of the
editors Of this paper sought to have an
informal ballot taken but was voted down
by a large majority. Whites friends
voting solid against the motion. SO the
Convention proceeded to take formal
ballot. The tellers on looking over the
votes found three double tickets which
were thrown out as illegal The remain
der were counted. Don A. Shove had
49 votes, c. VI. White 46, Otto Tremel
one vote, "Weit" one vote Shove hav-
ing clear majority of all the legal votes
cast.
at least a dozen of Whites friends
saw the votes counted and not one found
fault with the throwing out of the double
votes. The President declared Shove
duly nominated as he was in duty bound
to do. Had another ballot been taken
the result would probably have been 81
for Shove to 80 for White
Now from the above it will be seen
that White went before the Convention
to get the, nomination and he failed. His
name was then presented in the demo-
cratic Convention for nomination with
the assurance that he (White) would
render assistance to the democratic party,
there he also failed, but on election day
he worked for the democratic nominee.
No true Republican would pursue such a
course as this merely for the sake of
Office. About Mr.. Whites honesty we
havn' word to say-he is undoubtedly
as pure as the virgin snow, and as he
claims we are so dishonest we advise him
to stay among his democratic friends, if
they will permit him TO do so, though the
democratic leaders say they already have
fools enough in their own party.

Our MANUFACTURES.
Charles KlinghOlz' Grist Mill.

In 1852 Mr.. Klingholz built the first
Grist Mill erected In this county, on the
Manitowoc River about half mile above
the Rapids village. 1t was not in very
good location, being off the main road a
considerable distance and the river being
wide at that point dam some 800 feet
in length had to be maintained. Besides
it was claimed the mill pond encroached
on the rights of saw mill above 1t and
litigation ensued which lasted many years.
A compromise, however, was finally had.
and last season a new mill was built near
the Rapids bridge and close beside the
main road. To do this it was necessary
to dig race way about 80 rods in length
to carry away the water after use. The
whole movement shows enterprise and
warrants success.
THE NEW DAM
IS about $50 feet long, is substantially
built of stone and covered with timber
and plank, 1t gives fall of some eight
feet, and all the water in the River can
be made available if necessary sufficient
probably to drive six run of stone
very valuable power, inasmuch as it is
only some two and half or three miles
from town and the river navigable nearly
up to the mill.
THE MILL BUILDING
As stated above the building is new it
is three full stories and a stone base ment
and is 24x36 but will soon be enlarged to
24x60. 1t has now two run Of stone, but
when the mill is enlarged it will have
more. 1t grinds rapidly and well, and
the -four it makes is of the best quality.
As in most grist mills on the first floor is
located much of the machinery, driven
by the wheels beneath. These are at
present the old style but before long it Is
the intention to put in double turbine
wheel Of sufficient size to drive the whole
mill. The machinery spoken of consists
of cleaning mills, smut machine "a lively
ihSVieueiOl NuiSh SSoo iIouhb octiiC i-cO
times per minute-a barley mill for max
ing pearl barley ETC. On the second floor
is located the stones for grinding, the
scales, the packing apparatus and the of
fee. The third floor holds the bolts
There are two of these % feet long made
of the best boiling cloth one for wheat
and the others for coarse fours. All the
machinery in this mill works smoothly
and quiet and is credit to the builder.
Mr. Klngholz has had much to con-
tend with since he first commenced his
mill but with commendable industry and
perseverance he has continued his efforts
until now he has a property worth all it
has cost. All men should, and generally
do. rejoice az the success of true merit

A MARINE ADvENTURE-Wh at
public table not long since we listened to
well told tale which we will reproduce
as we'll as we may. A gentleman resd-
ing in Milwaukee engaged as specula-
tor in produce, found himself with cargo
of potatoes on his hands and no market
for them. Something must be done.
There was little old vessel in port SO
unseaworthy that the adventurer states
she rated tx, f. - and was in a bad con
dition at that But she was the only
craft to be had for love or money, so with
the captain our SPECTATOR worked all one
night and the next dag, wheeling aboard
his taters, and in the evening following
started down the river with fair wind
As help they employed an old chap who
had "sailed all over the world, sir - and
was capable of doing every thing and
anything. The old craft was rickety
enough. The Harbor master forbid their
going out because they would all lose their
lives, but they went The rudder work
ed loose-they spiked it fast-and on
they sailed. With fair wind all night
the vessel made eight miles on the way to
the Michigan shore, where many days
atterward it arrived It proved to be
trimonthly trip-they went one month
and tried to get back the next but they
never did. 1t was fun to hear the way
they disposed Of such useless articles as
their anchor and chain. They were beat
ing up the Michigan shore and the sailor
had the deck. To show his skill he at
tempted to bring the vessel in stays with
out help, but she wouldn' come round
and getting frightened the sailor rushed
forward and let go the anchor The
chain was-and probably is to this day
fastened to the anchor but not to the
vessel and it speedily followed the an
chor to the bottom of the lake. The
next incident of interest was the blowing
overheard of the mainmast, which little
episode had such an effect on our friend
that he set sail for home orerlaad, and he
has never trusted himself to the treach
erous deep from that day to this.
A NARROW ESCAPE.-On Friday,
Lawrence Ofsgah, a boy about years
old, whose parents reside in the Fourth
Ward while jumping around on the logs
near Jones & Bro 5 mill, slipped and fell
into the river His cries for help attrac-
ted the attention of his father who was
on the bank of the river and noticing
the critical situation of his son ran to his
assistance. While engaged in pulling
the boy out, he also fell into the river.
Neither father nor son were able to swim,
but succeeded in keeping their heads
above water, by holding on to a log.
Their'ealls for help were heard by two or
three men at work near the mill who at
once FASTENED to their relief and succeed
ed in pulling them out of the water and
helped them to the shore. The boy was
told a number of times to keep off the
logs, but would not heed the warning.
and only for the timely assistance of
the men whocautioned him of his danger
would have met watery grave. This
should be warning to the boys who are
constantly running around on the logs in
the neighborhood of the mills
