SCHOOL MATTERS. Monday even
ing school meetings were held in the
various districts of this city for the cleo.
ton of Clerks and TO determine the
| amount necessary to be raised for the
maintenance of the same during the
ensuing year.
In the first district there was lively
squabble, and remarks were made by
several of a nature to throw discredit
upon the meeting. The first business
being the election of Clerk. an infor-
NAL ballot was taken which resulted as
follows
j. W. Toombs received Sc votes.
II. ID. Smart - so
Scattering
On the first formal ballot
r. d Smart received 102 votes
j. w. Toombs 9 81
H. Muholland 80
AT this stage OF the proceedings the
cry of fraud was raised, it being al
legged that more votes were cast than
there were voters in the room. Mr..
Smart, to settle the matter, withdrew
from the race and Mr.. Toombs was
elected by reclamation. MIR. Luling,
Treasurer, then presented, upon the
recommendation of the School Board,
the following estimate of the amount
necessary to be voted for the ensuing
year, which report was adopted
For Teachers Wages, a 800

In the second district, Mr. A. NJ.
Richter was re elected Clerk and the
sum of So, 200 named as the sum neces-
sary to be provided The Treasurer's
report showed an unexpended balance
OF 81 300 on hand
Mr.. Chas. Dobbert was elected Clerk
inthe third district and the sum ofS1 300
raised to meet expenses for the next
school year.
The difficulty in the Irst district was
the result Of o difference Of opinion be-
tween the voters as to the keeping of
Mr.. Barns in the position of principal.
1t is now understood that he will not be
engaged again, and it is hoped all differ
ences Will now be adjusted. It won't
do to let personal feelings have an OPP
portunity to interfere with our schools.

| COUNTY FAIR.-The fourth annual fair
of the Manitowoc County Agricultural
and Mechanical Association will be held
at Clarks Mills on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, October LIST, ID and 3D..
Great improvements have been made
upon the grounds this season-the track
has been changed so as to provide a
''home stretch ;" a new and convenient
grand stand has been erected an exhi-
bition building as large as the old one
has been put up, and other improve
ments added which make the grounds
first class i'll every respect. The pre-
miums are considerably larger than upon
former occasions and everything possible
done to insure the success of the Fair.
The purses for trials of speed are I'M
usually large. On the second day there
Will be trotting race for horses that
never beat 3:15 for purse of $50, and a
running race for $50 purse. On the
third day, trotting race for horses that
never beat minutes purse $70-a run
ming race for the same amount, and a
purse. The officers viii do all in their
power to insure success and should re-
ceive the cordial support of all our pro-
ducing and manufacturing interests
The premium list, rules and regulations,
etc, will be printed in pamphlet form
at this Office for gratuitous distribution.
THE mostuncoinedestcu cut of all was that
which a regular customer gave a cloth
ing merchant the other day. He went
INTO his store and called for box of
collars, at the same time throwing down
what would naturally be supposed to be
q coin. But the merchant wasn't to be
fooled; he was there for the purpose of
detecting counterfeit money, and he
wouldn't be deceived in the price Of
box of collars that way, you know. So
retaining possession of the goods, he re-
marked, THAT'S not good money young
man" 9Th bet you the drinks on
that" said the other, at the same time
extending his hand to make the bet
good. 1t was q 'swhack" Then the
customer took up his coin, and pressing
it between his thumb and front finger
for an instant, disclosed to the other a
genuine ccin it having been wrapped up
in tin foil as decoy. An oath coutain-
ing three syllables, minus punctuation
marks, escaped the merchants lips, as
he dohnaa his coat and accompanied the
customer to the saloon across the way.

wants to find out what has become OF

meeting of the School Board of that

ihorized and instructed to institute
snit ut once against Z. L. Weber, late

for the outlay Of not cent of which
has Weber ever produced a voucher
There's talk also Of an investigation o

The Capture Of Mr.. Davis.

man, who was Present.
raleigh On. c. NcWs]

Soon after the close of the civil war in
in 1865, when Gems Lee and Johnston
had surrendered to the United States for
ces, q GOOD deal was said-mUch OF 1t
false--in regard to the capture of JcIter-
son Davis Prcsid' mt of the Contrdcracy.
Soon after his capture, James IL Jones, a
colorel man who was with Mr.. Davis or
his family during nearly the whole time
of the war in the capacity of coarhman,
and who was with him when he was Ia
ken prisoner in Georgia, furnished
statement of his capture. Recently a re-
quest has bean made to gentlemen III
high standing in this city to proc"re from
James H. Jones statement OF the whole
matter, which he has given, and winch
we are permitted to copy as below. But
before giving the statement we Will take
occasion to say that the author is IA
tive of this City, and stands as high as
any man in the State for truth and III
tegrity. He is and has been for ten
years captain of the Victor fire company
of this city and was, until his resignation
recently, captain of the Raleigh kIlics, a
colored volunteer company Of this city.
The statement is given as briefly as pos
sible to be ineligible, and is as follows
II was coachmHn to Hon. jeff. Davis
nearly all through the war, and was with
him at the time of his capture, which oc-
Cured on the 10th of May, 1865, between

had time to dress. Mr. Davis went II
the tent door and was ordered by the sol
Lers to surrender. He replied that h
would not that he would die first. Mrs
Davis pressed to her husband and put he
arms around his neck, Logging the sol
tiers not to kill him, both she and tn
children crying piteously.
at has been stated that Mr.. Davis ha
on a hoop-skirt, and was otherwise Iii.

A RIDETo DEATH-Last Saturday evening, Peter
Kuhn, who lived in Plain township, near the old
Kaufman mill, west from the New Berlin road,
met with sudden and shocking DEATH Mr..
KBhn had driven his team to town that day,
bringing a small load Of wheat. Toward eve
ming he started homeward and got along safely
until after he had turned westward from the
New Berlin road, at Jacob Trump's farm, which
was the last seen Of him alive. About one hun
dred yards west Of the Berlin road Is gravel pit
and the roadway on both sides is lined with cob
BILE stones, and 1t was here that he was found
dead, All that is known positively Is that the
team ran away and Mr.. K9hn's aged father who
saw them come dsshing down the road without a
driver, ran out and In his useless attempt to stop
them, had narrow escape from death On Mon.
day afternoon the DEMOCRAT reporter visited the
priefstrlcken home, but was unable to learn any
thing materially additional to the above, except
to find the nature OF the wounds. The only the
ory we can discover is that he was standing up in
the wagon, the team became frightened and
dashed over the stones, the line broke and the
unfortunate driver was hurled out striking his
head on the cobble stones The skull Is frsc-
tured in three places on the right side and Sc
we're confusion is shown In the center Of the fore
head. Mr.. Koehn was twentynine years OF age
and stout, robust man, such as his aged parents
and others of his household could depend on for
support while health lasted
