FIRE IN NEW H0LSTEIN.
Dumke's Grist Mil Destroyed---Loss
$4,000

On the night from Monday to Tues
day of last week, the new grist mill but
recently completed near the depot at
New Holstein, was completely destroyed
by fire. The origin of the fire cannot
| be ascertained; but circumstances indi-
cate that it must have been the work of
an incendiary. For four days prior to the
conflagration no work was done in the
building nor any fire kept; ali employees
being absent for the holidays. Building
and machinery are estimated at $4,000,
snd were insured only to the amount of
81, 500. securing a mortgage. The pro-
prietor, Mr.. G. Dumke, brother to A. F.
Dumke OF this city, sustains a loss of
about all he possessed, and deserves the
sympathy of all who have watched with
interest the energy and industry display
ed by him in the erection of this mill,
which in itself was model of perfection,
and the most complete in Culumet Co.
There is, we are happy to learn, a move
ment on foot, to rebuild immediately
The citizens of New Holstein and vicini-
ty are organizing stock company to
purchase all necessary material and ma
chinery and entrtlst the management OF
building and operating the new mill to
the skillful hands of MI. Dunke; also
making him one of the principal stock
holders in the new enterprise with iber-
al Inducements to eventually acquire it's
sole ownership. This modus operandi
is highly commendable and worthy OF
limitation everywhere. Insurance rates
on manufacturing establishments are
next thing to an outrage and in some
instances sufficient to cripple almost any
enterprise. This sort of cooperation
works to charm and does more to en-
courage home manufacture than all that
may be said or done to attract capital or
secure its investment in permanent bus
mess
Mr.. Dun1ke's loss in business is severe
the gain of friends, however, with kind
words and material encouragement by
far outbalances this, and will enable
him, not only to recover, but also to To-
cate business establishment in New
Holstein, upon which every business
man and farmer of that locality will look
with hottest pride.
When your neighbor's factory or mill
giving employment and trade to many
burns down, chip together and put him
on his feet again. It is an investment
that will build up your locality and re-
turn golden interest in thousand ways.

GONE.
Not where the woodbine twineth,
But where sinners repent.

A'At p" hCic Siih1SiS repent.
G. A. Hull, the festive chap who came
to Manitowoc some six months ago or
SO, to make homes happy by the intro
duction Of double action, self justing,
keel-up, duplex elliptic, self-sewing sew
ing machines, has been invited by the
Governor of Illinois to come away from
the "cauld blast of our northern winter
and try the salubrious aroma of the
prairie state. A. n. Stone, Sheriff of
Tasmell county, came up with the invi-
tation OH Thursday last, and after being
formally introduced to Mr.. Hull by
Jerome Pierce, departed on Friday
morning, taking the said Hull with him,
who parted from us without a tear or
sigh Cf regret. The demand for the gay
cavalier in the smoker state grew out of
serious mistake in spelling. Hull
somehow missed the spelling mania last
year, and SO neglected to post himself
IN the principles of modern photography.
In signing note in the transaction of
some business with parties in Illinois,
he. unfortunately spelled some one else's
name to it, and now some party there
feels agrieved and refuses to pay. 1t
has been well known here since Mr..
Hulls arrival that his past record was
somewhat crooked, and parties dealing
with him have been very careful as to
how matters were arranged. Mr.. Hull
belongs to that unfortunate class of
young men, who, charmed by their own
personal appearance, become enamored
Of themselves and then forget the world
about them. Unfortunately for their
good and that of the general public,
they do not die of broken heart like
the youth of ancient fable, but live to
make homes and families miserable and
then wind up their own existence in the
attire of q penitentiary- bird. When
young men learn that n pure heart,
cultivated mind, and sound morals by
far outshine the advantages of a we'll
shaped form, trapped out in gaudy at
tire, the press viii be less often called
urol to chronicle the closing chapters OF
q life but fairly begun.

Fire.

The house of George W. Tower, on a
farm which is part of that formerly
known as the Alva Post place, was totally
destroyed by fire on Wednesday evening.
Mrs. Tower went up stairs about seven
o'clock TO make up the beds, and while so
engaged kerosene lamp that che had near
by exploded. The straw tick took fire and
soon the whole house was in flames. The
smoke filling the upper part OF the house
prevented any efficient effort of Mr. Tower
and others, either to stay the flames or re-
move the furniture. A part of the turni-
ture on the first floor was saved. The eel
lar contained 200 bushels of potatoes and
the store of pork, beef, etc., which provi-
dent farmers family usually have on hand
at this season of the year. This was of
course lost.
The house was erected by James Post
about ten years ago. Mr.. Tower estimates
his loss to be IN the neighborhood of $4,000.
The insurance on the house is 200 and
on the furniture $500, in the Farmers NIL
tual insurance company, through the agen-
cy of Mr.. NJ. J. Francisco.

swept onward until drawn into whrl-

and thrown into the air.
The gate-bouse was tipped over bodily
and not even a stone of it has since boon

feet wide and one mile long, the flood

the pine woods on one side of the ravne

Fire at Chester.

On Thursday morning the village bells
announced fire, which proved to be at the
residence of Mrs. Joseph p. Barnes, situat-
ed near the Chester driving park. The
barn and sheds on the west side of the
road were consumed, with one hog. The
cattle and horses were all saved. The l.
on the east side of the house was also
burned. The main part of the house,
built of brick, was saved. The cause of
the fire seems to be mystery, with various
rumors afioat. Rumor has has it that
there was policy of insurance in the Con-
necticut River Mutual for $4,000 on the
buildings and contents. Loss $500.
