WE hear much complaint ON the part
of property owners on Franklin and
Quay streets, to the effect that their
rights and interests are not protected.
The ordinance granting the railway COM
pany the privilege of running their trains
over those streets says: ''This grant is
upon the express condition that the said
railroad company shall be liable for all
damages to property caused by the lay
ing down and operating the track as
herein specified, and in case the railroad
company shall fail to pay the damages
aforesaid, they shall forfeit all rights
and title to the 2orivileges granted 6y
this ordinance" In other words, if the
company refuses to pay the damages
sustained by property holders, they give
up the right to run their trains on those
streets. What more can be asked in
reason?

4 FATAL MISTAKE. Thursday,
just before noon, the wife Of Mr.. John
Mulligan, residing at Oconto, went into
the garden to procure what she thought
were parsnips or artichokes, for dinner.
While preparing them she ate some, and
feeling sick Immediately thereafter nat
urally attributed it to the parsnips, thus
preventing the other members of the
family from partaking. She had eaten
wild parsnips, and so sudden and fatal
were the effects that within two hours
thereafter she was a corpse. Her hus-
band, who was absent at the time, was
summoned, and On Friday her remains
were brought to this city and were inter
red on Sunday, the funeral services be-
ing held in the Episcopal Church.
The deceased was daughter Of Ed.
Lenaville, residing near the four corners,
four miles from the city, and Mr.. Multi
gan is well known as former resident
Of this city.

BRo. Ross, of the Sheboygan Times,
who was one of the party of gentlemen
who visited this city last Thursday, has
this to ST 9 in his paper about Manitowoc:
'tManitowoc is certainly increasing in
growth, but the business of the city is
scattered over good deal of territory,
and therefore does not show as well at a
glance as it would if it were compact.
It has many good buildings, and some
very fine ones, notable among which is
the High School edifce, which cost
about $i5, 900. The city can well boast
of its two fine swing bridges across the
river, one of which cost about Sc, 900,
and the other $40, 000-the latter being
of iron. But it Iabors under one great
disadvantage IN doing transportation
business by rail, in consequence of the
depots being located so far up the river
away from the business portion Of the
city, involving much time and expense
in carriage Of freight. This, however,
they claim viii soon be obviated, rs they
design to run a track of the Lake Shore
Road down below the bridges to near
the government harbor piers, the right
OF way for which was granted by the
city Council on Monday night.

Senator ingalls, Letter.


Somewhere in The late past, Leayen-
worth City property holders got into
quarrel with Lcavenworth City as a
corporation. As near as we can make
out it was quarrel arising out OF
some of her old time inexplicable jeal-
ousies, resulting in division of her
people and authorities as TO what
should be done with the Rock Island
Railroad shops, which it appears are
located on the military reserve and not
in the city, and which even now are
about being moved to the east side of
the Missouri river. 1t was charged in
a speech that Senator Ingalls, had lent
his power as Senator to the detriment
of Leayenworth. To this the Senator
replies in an open letter, which we
elsewhere publish. The spirit of his
answer is not only manly, but far-see-
ing and comprehensive. The suicidal
policy heretofore pursued, not only by
Leavenworth, but by the entire State
in the matter of her home industries
and trade, is most wildly portrayed.
Our whole energies, wealth and grand
productions have all gone TO the up
building of other States and to the in
creasing of the taxable wealth and
trade of cities outside of our lines.
Kansas can take care of herself and
grow rich and strong in the meanwhile,
and it is about time for her to act apon
p that platform. Read the Senator's
letter.

A Sad Story.

There was great excitement at Read
ing, Pennsylvania, the other dav, al
the funeral of Mrs. Bessenger and her
three children. drowned a few DAYS
before. 1t seems from the stories OF
the people that the woman had lived
unhappily with her husband. owing TO
the introduction by him of another
woman into the house, and that her
unhappiness caused quarrel on Mon
day, when her husband ordered his
wife to leave the house and take the
two girls with her while he would re-
tain the boy. The next dav she went
to the canal with the children. and
after filling basket with stones. in
which operation the children assistbd.
the woman bound the basket to her
body, and taking the children in her
arms, jumped into the canal. and all
were drowned. Al soon as the bodies
were found they were taken to her
former home. The police are guard
ing the house to save the husband
from the excited crowd. At the fnner-
al procession, which included about
one thousand persons on foot, they
surrounded his carriage, and when the
bodies were lowered into the grave.
the people hooted and Missed him, and
made a rush for him. In the confusion
q shot was fired, when the police hu-
namely placed him in the carriage and
drove off. In passing the cemetery
gates another shot was fired, which it
was thought wounded him, as he was
carried into the house. The police are
still on guard, and the people, inciud-
ing msny. women, are making threats
against him.

Flowing for fall wheat is everywhere
pushed with vigor. The experience
in Kansas and other western States,
every year, proves more conclusively
the value and Importance of early SOW
ing. From the middle of August to
the 9Th or 10th of September our most
successful wheat growers have deter
mined as the best calculated to secure
the largest yield. 1t is fact, however,
in the face of this thoroughly demon
strated truth, every year proven with
new and indisputablc evidence, that as
much wheat is sown after the first
week of September as before. Early
sowing gives the plants a chance to
get well started, and the vigorous,
well rooted grain is less liable to freez-
ing out, and in the spring grows with
vigor that is impossible with the
half-killed plant of late growth.
