have been so diligently plying their vo-
cation in this city lately.
COOP watch dogs don't seem to
amount to much, except to keep well
disposed citizens from sleep. Burglars
are not incOmmoded by them.

THE fame of Manitowoc as non-sup-
porter Of theaters and lecturers must
have gone abroad. 1t has not been
troubled with those for some time.
a COUPLE of gentlemen have started a
cleaning and dyeing establishment near
the south end of eighth street bridge.
They fix up old silk hats and all kinds
of dress goods.

as the caused.
JAMES MACALIsrER, a man well known

a good appointment.

him out Of the cutter. The cutter was
badly broken before the team was cap
tured.
a LARGE crowd was present at the do
nation party for Rev. Mr.. Averill. Mr..

not only among his own congregation but
among all who know him.
TINS evening there will be a meeting

there will be good attendance.

does not attempt to extenuate, but will
attempt to prove the charge.
CIRCUMSTANCES over which he had no
control, is what Walker calls his being
spilled out Of his cutter. His horse al
ways waits patiently after these little ac-
cidents until she is notified that all
well, by free application of the whip.
TIE Norman has finally reached the
dry dock. Like the Israelites and the
Red Sea, the path closed up when the
tug passed over. But Tom was a very
ill-natured Moses when he found the
great cold increasing the obstacles to his
DroGress.
A number of peddlers have been in the
city lately, selling backing and cheap
iewelry. In some instances they sell
thirty cents worth Of backing for five
cents. People begin to wonder where
the profits come in. They spend money
freely all the same, and this causes more
surprise.
THE trustees of the mortgage bonds Of
the Wisconsin Central Railroad have
taken possession Of the road. Foreign
bondholders have embarrassed the com
pany very much and this caused the
Milwaukee and Northern company to
take steps to secure themselves 1t is
said that if the Wisconsin Central was
allowed to proceed, it could pay all debts
in short time.
THE people of Manitowoc do not fully
appreciate the Importance to.the city Of
railroad machine shops. Those give
employment to number of skilled work
men and have brought number Of de-
sirable citizens to Manitowoc. 4 visit
to these shops will prove quite profitable
to any one and show the advantage to
the city of having them located here.
A CONSTABLE was sent from this city
on Tuesday morning to Two Rivers, to
arrest some persons stopping at the lat
ter place for completely i'll the burglaries
lately committed here. 1t is said that
the parties were informed Of the arrival
Of the officer and left. The constable is
on their track and viii probably make
arrests though it is not certain that much
good will come of it, as the articles stol-
en- will likely be concealed. Everybody
suspects the persons referred to, who
are strangers and who busy themselves
in peering into houses.
4 CROWD of young fellows from She
boygan put in an appearance at our city
Sunday. They were possessed of con
siderable superfous life and proceeded
to relieve themselves of it by favoring
the people with songs given with more
vigor than melody. Before starting fol
home they kidnapped one of our popular
young BARRIERS and took him bound hand
and foot to Sheboygan. His folks were
naturally anzious about him and were
about to advertise him as ''lost' wher
/ ne turned up.
THE time is coming when Manitowo;
must turn her attention to manufacture
or soon be left far behind by some village
which shows enterprise. Manitowoc la;
now only the luxury enjoyed by cities. =
that OF paying taxes Unfortunately high
Real estate is comparatively worthless il
the city; laborers have no certainty o
constant employment and Maritowoc ha
an ancient and woe-begone appearance
