The Newspaper Busin ess.-We sup
pose many people think that newspaper
men are persistent duns. Let a farmer
place himself in a similar position, and see
II he would not do the same. Suppose he
raise 900 bushels Of wheat and his neigh
bor should come and buy some, and the
price was n small matter OF 81 or less and
says, Il will hand you the amount in a few
days" As the farmer does not want to
he small about the matter he saws all
right, aud the man leaves with his wheat
Another comes in the same way, until the
whole | 900 bushels of wheat is trusted
out to one thousand different persons, and
not one of the purchasers concerns himself
about it, for it is II small amount that he
owes the farmer and of course that would
not help him any. He does not rea aize that
the farmer has frittered away his large
crop of wheat, and that its value is due
him in Il thousand little dribleis, and that
he is seriously embarrassed in his business
because his debtors treat it ns II small mat
ter. But il all would pay him promptly,
which they could do ns well as not, it
would be very large amount to the farm
er and enable him TO carry on his business
without difficulty. This comparison is too
true Of the difficulties that the newspaper
man has to contend with.

The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1878-03-07

A GIRL giving her name as Clara Tor
rison, about eighteen years of age, at
tempted suicide on Saturday afternoon
by jumping into the river from the dock
near the south end OF Main street
bridge. Evidently the water was colder
than she thought it was, for no sooner
had she come to the surface after the
first plunge than she grabbed a project
ing plank, and hanging on to it with a
grip like death she yelled Justify for
help, and by the aid of some sailors in
the vicinity was brought to terra .frnaa.
She was taken to a residence near by
and the authorities notified, who ascer-
tanned her home to be near Clarks Mills !;
that she came to the city on Monday
previous and put up at one of the South
Side hotels, where she remained until
Wednesday. From there she went to
some acquaintance on north Ninth
street, where she said she wanted to
find employment as a servant. Her
friends interested themselves, and
found her place IN family living
three miles south of the city, one mem
Der of which came after her on Friday
and took her out. She remained there
until between IL and II o'clock that
night, when she suddenly disappeared,
and nothing was heard of her until her
rescue from the river. On Monday
but as she showed disposition to leave
them again, the Marshal was consulted
and on Tuesday she was taken to the
court house. It is evident from her
behavior that her mind is affected, and
she will be taken care of until her father,
who is at work down north, can be mott
fed. She is a nice looking, lady-ike
girl, and her conduct is certainly I'M
accountable.

DEATH OF COL. OLMiS7,ED.

We find the following obituary notice
IN the Kewaunee Enterprise, from the
pen of Johu M. Read, who knew the
deceased well and had frequent occasion
| to observe the good qualities with which
he so truly credits him
"The announcement of the death of
Col. Il. @. Olmsted, which occurred at
Manitowoc on Tuesday, will be received
with sadness in this county, where he
was we'll known, and to those who served
with him in the late war the news will
bring feeling akin to that of personal
bereavement.
Ten Eyck c. Olmsted was born in
Steuben county, n. Y, and came to
Manitowoc nearly twenty-five years ago.
His brilliant natural parts, his frank and
genial manners, his faculty of winning
| friends, not by any effort, by sheer force
OF Kindness of heart and his sunshiny
nature, at once made him popular in his
new home, and he was elected Clerk of
the Circuit Court when barley 81 years
of age. Shortly afterward he was ad-
mitted to the bar, but never entered ac-
lively upon the practice of the law.
When the Twenty seventy Infantry was
organized in 1862 he was commissioned
as Major and later as Lieutenant Colonel,
serving until the end of the war. After
the close of the war he engaged in mer-
camille pursuits until six years ago, when
he became editor and publisher of the
Manitowoc Pilot, and continued as such
until his death. Five years ago he was
elected County Judge, and held that
office until the expiration of his term
two months ago.
AS public official or a private citizen,
the breath of suspicion never rested
upon his personal integrity. a despiser
OF all red tape and ceremony, he was
poor dress parade soldier and poor dis
ciplinarian, but his contempt of danger
and his ever watchful care fo1 the inter-
ests and comfort of the men of his regi-
ment commanded their respect and won
their lasting friendship. AS a newspa-
per conductor he was Independent in
his opinions, and had an original, forci-
BILE way of expressing them which made
his influence felt when he chose to exert
it. High-spirited, an utter stranger to
fear, and quick to resent a real or fan
cled injury, his heart was yet as tender
as woman's, and the poor and distress
ed had ever friend in him. Manly and
true-hearted in all things, be never yield
ed to an enemy, and he never forsook
friend. With his abilities-with his op-
portunities-there is no place of trust
or honor among his fellow citizens of Wis
consin to which he might not have risen.
It might have been. But one besetting
vice, growing out of his own genial, So
cial nature, fastened itself upon him, and
step by step led him downward injured
his business, destroyed his influence,
clouded his intellect, wrecked his health,
brought anguish to hearts he loved, and
laid him in the grave in the meridian of
his manhood. Strong drink has brought
many good man low, but rarely bet
ter one than he, its latest brilliant, chiv-
alrous, warm-hearted victim.
Green be the grass above thy grave,
old friend. Hail, and farewell.

From the Chronicle: While little
four year old son of Mr.. John Bahr, a
farmer of the town of Gibson, was en-
gagged in playing, together with hum
Der of other children, in q wagon box,
last Thursday, he lost his balance and
fell to the ground, causing very bad
fracture of the arm, at the wrist. +. Mr..
Jay Shaw has..rigged floating windlass
and is engaged in raising sunken hard
wood logs from the bottom of the Ne
shoto river. Owing to the lack of
snow the usual amount of timber for
the chair factory has not been procured
this winter, and it will therefore become
necessary, during the coming summer,
to get the needed amount as above. Il
Is said that there are thousands of sunk
en- hard wood logs along the river, which
have been accommodating for the past
quarter of century, and they are as
sound as when first cut. :. About two
weeks ago young girl in the neighbor-
hood of Mehlheim, in the town of
Schieswig, gave birth to child-a life
less child, her friends said but this was
doubted by one who had reason to think
and believe otherwise. Complaint was
accordingly made, before Justice Heyer,
of KEEL, who ordered the body to be ex-
hunaed, and calling the assistance of a
physician an inquest was held. The
jury returned verdict of death by
strangulation, which makes some one
guilty of the crime of infanticide. But
here the matter seems to have ended, for
since that time nothing further has been
done.

IMPORTANT to second and third class
passengers to or via New York City:

IMPORTANT to second and third class
passengers to or via New York City:
1t is well known that the Erie Railway Com
panv has for a number of years provided a
commodious passenger boat fitted especially
for the transfer of its emigrant passengers
and luggage direct from Castle Garden to their
depot, from which trains depart for the West
thus effeotually protecting those consigned
to their care from unauthorized persons or
outside influence, while passing through New
York.
To afford similar protection to second and
third class passengers from the West. going to
New York, or passing through New York en
route to Europe, they have now arranged for a
SPECIAL OMNIBUS TRANSFER, starting from
under cover of their Jersey City Depot (the ar
irving place of through trains from the Vest,
to Steamships, Hotels, Boarding Houses, or
wherever they may be consigned-thus afford
ing them absolute protection, and freedom
from contact with the ''sharpers'' who seek to
prey upon strangers arriving in great city.
The Erie Company will perform this service
with its own omnibuses, in charge of trusty
servants. at cost price, for transfer of single
passengers families parties, and their bag
gage. A transfer Agent of the Company
boards each incoming train from the West an
hour or more before its arrival in Jersey City,
and tenders TO passengers the facilities above
announced.

MRS. STANTON'S LECTURE.

One of the largest audiences ever as
sembled to greet lecturer in this city
was that which assembled in the Pres
byterian church parlors, on Tuesday
evening, to hear the greatest living ad-
vocate of "Wonan's Rights" Mrs.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, deliver her
lecture on sour Girls"
Mrs. Stanton is well-preseryed wo-
man of 60 years, looking dozen years
younger than the above figures would
indicate, and,judging from appearances,
the possessor of larger stock of health
and longer lease OF life than most Amer
lean women Of half her years.
Her lecture was an eloquent and
earnest plea for the rights of her SEX
the right of our girls to be educated pre-
cisely as their brothers are educated,
trained to be self-reliant and self-sup-
porting, instead of being taught to look
to marriage as means of support.
In terse and vigorous language she
ridiculed the modern woman of fashion
as contrasted with the wives and moth
ers of the past, and if one.half of her
advice be followed by the women Of the
land, we venture to assert that the man
ufacturers of corsets, spring bustles, en-
amels and hair-dyes will either go into
bankruptcy or commit suicide before the
resumption of specie payments.
The speaker next took up the subject
of Woman Suffrage, to the advocacy of
which she has devoted nearly forty years
of her life /; and if she failed to convince
her auditors that the granting of the
right of suffrage to her sex would be q
death-bl to incompetence and host
of other evils, her failure is chargeable
to lack of material from which to form
an argument that would carry conviction
with it, rather than to any lack of earn
estness or enthusiasm on the part of the
speaker.
While we do not agree with Mrs. Stan
ton in thinking that the day of confer
ring the right of suffrage on our moth
ers, wives, and daughters will also wit
ness the dawn of a political, social and
moral millennium, we join in the gen
eral verdict that her lecture was one of
the most interesting, instructive and en-
pertaining discourses ever delivered in
this city, full of grand thoughts and
eloquent passages, humorous anecdotes
and biting sarcasm.

JOHN FERNErT, brakeman on one

JOHN FERNErT, brakeman on one of
the freight trains of the NJ, L. S. & w.
r. r. residing in this city, had mirac-
ulous escape from sudden death on Sat
urday. AS the train was approaching
the paper mill in Appleton, running
over a high bridge, he set the braks on
one of the cars, and while in the act of
stepping on to the next one the pin
broke and the car ahead of him pulled
away. Seeing that he must fall, and
knowing that instant death must follow
his striking upon the track, he made q
desperate effort and threw himself
clear of it, falling to the ground forty
feet below. He struck on his shoulder,
but instead of breaking his neck he es-
capped with the dislocation of the bones
of one leg and some severe but not fatal
bruises.
