The Common Council OF Nanitowoc
have concluded to let the M. l.. S. & W.
Ry GO. h,.vo tho right of way through
the streets of that city from the p1.soo
where the depot now stands, to the
lake shore The same old spirit of dis
cord, however, which has SO retarded
the growth of that town in times past,
came very near defeating the movement,
and had it not been for the affirmative
vote of the Mayor, the right of way
would not have been granted. At pres
ent people who visit Manitowoc by
railroad, after paying their fare on the
cars, have to pay an entrance fee to bus
men, of half dollar, before they can
enter the town. Especially is this the
case Ill stormy weather and when the
roads are muddy. We wonder that the
depot has been allowed to remain in its
present position as long as it has

Tom ROBINSON, of Manitowoc, has
been often twitted by his associates for
the persistent manner i'll which he ad-
heres to the ''Hinglish" method Of pro-
nouncing in this Yankeeland; but he
got even with one of them at a little
spelling sojree in Todl's, the other day.
They had been Fostering him with hard
words until he got his chandler up,
and at last he turned to one of them and
said: 'sYou can't spell ann the first
time trying, and I'll bet you the beer on
it." OF course that was too good a
thing to let slip, and the fellow spelled

PERSONS in Manitowoc owning prop
erty on Franklin and Quay streets,
through which the III. L. S. & W. R'y
Co. propose running their track in order
to reach the lake, threaten to blockade
every rod of the way with an injunction.
The people of that town have not yet
learned that every improvement which
adj dis to their shipping facilities, or aids
in carrying on the business of the place
increases, instead of lessons, the value
of real estate and otherwise materially
advances their interests.

TIE Chicago T;rr>oe Gays tlIsIt HRS.
Lincoln, the widow of our martyred
president, has been adjudged insane,
and sent to private insane asylum.
The symptoms of her mental derange-
ment have OF late been painfully appar-
ent to those around her, and within the
past few days, although her relatives
and friends have striven TO avoid it, it
has been manifest that it would be nee
essary to place her under surveillance.
However repugnant such a step might
be, justice to the unfortunate lady and
those related to her imperatively de-
manded that it be taken. Mrs. Lincoln
and her family viii have the sincere
sympathy Of the entire country in this
emergency. 1t is to be hoped that her
malady will give way under sizillful med
ical treatment, and that size viii soon be
restored to the full possession of her
mental faculties.

TIE STATE CONVENTION.

From the call published at the head
of this column it will be observed that
the Republican State Convention viii
convene in Madison on the 7th of
July. The early day at which it has
been decided to call the Convention was
a surprise to many, it being fully four
months before the election. What in
duced the Committee to fix upon the
date, we are not advised; but do not
question the wisdom Of the act. Four
months viii serve to get the nominees
of the party fully before the people, al
lowing them to canvass for the
offices to which they aspire, and to de-
termine fully upon their qualifications.
It is evident that the Republican party
OF the State is not afraid Of an open,
fair fight, and is determined TO present
candidates whose antecedents VIII stand
the most rigid scrutiny, whose popular
ity will increase steadily mp to the time
Of holding the election, and who can
and will enlist the hearty support of
every believer in Republican principals.
The party is fully aware of the necessity
OF vigorous, unceasing activity, and if
during the four months intervening be-
tween the nominations and election it
cannot be shown that our candidates are
men of honesty and integrity, we for
one shall be content to suffer a defeat.
But OF that there is no danger. The
people of Wisconsin have had enough
OF Reform, ''and We predict rousing
majority for the entire ticket next fall.

muzzle against his side pulled the trigger with

DISAPPOINTMENT AT THE FAILURE, YEsrERpAY-
LAST NIGHT IN wILmIsoroN-TuE GAME THIS
AFTERNOON.
Considerable Disappointment was felt over the
allure OF the base ball match, to take place yes
terday between the Active and Quickstep clubs.
BY no one was this more severely experienced
than by the Reading people. About two hun
dred OF them came down especially to witness
tho game, and when they learned that
it would not be. played, disappointment and an
ger mingled in many instances, and numerous
unfavorable comments were made concerning
the action OF j. ID. Mihnler, manager of the Ac-
tive club. Much OF this uujustiiiable,
for tho QuickHtep club would, we are
informed, positively, and very properly,
too, have refused to play, considering
the state OF the weather. The rain had sort-
ened the ground aud rendered it slippery and
unfit for playing.
Tho Active club remained at the Clayton
House, astnight further civilities being shown
them in the evening They were escorted up
the Brandywine before darkness fell over it, ta-
ken to the different engine houses and club
rooms in the city, and every possible attention
shown them by the Committee of the Quickstep
club to receive them shd others. The visitors
arc kind and courteous and demean themselves
in becoming and respectful manner. About
fifty other citizens OF Reading remained over,
last night, stopping at the Delaware Honse and
the City Hotel. The EXCURSION train with the
remainder of the party went back last night.
The deferred game will be called at 1.30, this
afternoon, this early hour having been selected
in order to allow the visiting club to get away on

the First Peninsula Camp-Mceting.

REV. FATHER BoEHM's REcoLLECTIoNs OF IT--A
REMARKABLE PHENOMENON.
The frat camp meeting that remember was
held the Peninsula, between the head of
Chester and Smyrna, 1905. There were a num-
Der OF tents on the ground in which families
dwelt, and the preachers of the region were gem
orally present DIR. Chandler was in charge, A
remarkable phenomenon took place while the
meeting was in progress, which l remember with
great distnctness A minister was preaching
one day from the stand to an attentive congre-
cation, when a cloud came up from the west be-
tokening speedy rain. Tho people began to be
uneasy, and show signs of seeking shelter, when
Dr. Chandler rose in the stand and
in positive manner told the people
to remain seated, declaring that no
rain would fall upon the encampment. Tho
preachers were quite startled by this bold dec
laration, thinking the Doctor had over-stepped
the bounds of prudence, and that he would oe
confounded by the result. But strange to say.
just before the cloud reached the camp ground
1t divided, one portion moving to the right and
the other to the left pouring out rain on either
side while no rain fell upon the camp. The I'M
preston produced by this striking event resulted
IN the conversion of many souls.
Such remarkable occurrence, signallzlng the
hist camp meeting held on the Peninsula, could
not but create favorable impression on the
public mind in regard to these meetings. They
continued to be held thereafter every year, and
in increasing numbera. They were occasions of
great Bolemnity, and most respectful and rever-
ent attention was given to the services by the re-
llgious portion of the community.
