DAIMLER, Wickert and Proell will
have no opposition in the democratic
( convention this fall No other county in
the state has as good set Of county
/ officers as Manitowoc has. While the
democratic party continues to keep such
men in office its majority in this county
will continue to be large
i JUDGE DYER decided last Monday that
/ the earnings Of elevators owned by rail
road companies are subject to taxation
as well as the earnings of the roads. He
holds that they are for the purpose of
increasing the transportation facilities Of
! the road and are therefore as liable to be
taxed as the earnings of the road proper.
Two little boys were playing burglar

and passed through his lungs. He can
not live.

J. SCHUETFE & Bios. have just receiv-
ed lot of heavy imported Ga Mohairs
FOR Cloaking. These goods have beau
tiful lustre will never turn gray or dull
looking, are the most fashionable and the
neatest styles out, and although their
first cost is considerable above that OF
the domestic goods which j. Schuette &
Bros. also keep and which they resemble

OK Thursday night the lightning
which accompanied the storm left its
mark in various places throughout the
county. number OF telegraph poles
were shattered between here and New
ton. The Franklin honse III this city
was struck but was not seriously injured.
4 barn belonging to Captain Fulton, Of
Manitowoc Rapids was also struck. 9th
er minor mishaps in the county are re-
ported
The fact that Tom, Fitz and julie"
are III town, should make the base ball
blood course with delight through the
veins of the Old Plugs of this city. This
trio left Manitowoc last summer with
their brows declled with the laurel
wreaths of victory, fguratiyely speaking.
They are inyircIble on the diamond field
in the matter Of picturesque attitudes
and in playing leap frog with the ball.
We think the Old Plug eleven could get
away with this Tribune triumvirate if the
right sort of an umpire can be secured.
