The reports of the amount expended
throughout the county for the support
of poor is of little value because incom-
plete. The liquor license fund is usual
ly appropriated for this purpose. The
whole amount raised for school purposes
by the districts in the county amounts to
49,, 4S1. The total Indebtedness of the
city includes the Indebtedness of the
school districts. The road and poll tax
paid by the different towns in the county
is somewhat startling when given in the
aggregate, amounting to $37, 125. When
we consider the amount annually expend-
ed on roads and the comparatively poor
condition of the roads throughout the
county, our wonder increases. If in the
county there was road around every
section there would be about /, 100 miles
OF road, but the number of miles of road
in the county does not much exceed, if
at all, onehalf of this, making $50 miles.
Assuming that for the last Is years the
road tax has averaged annually the total
amount given in the table, the amount
expended for roads reaches the sum of
S556.875, or 81 ,013 per mile, sum suf-
icient to macadamize every road in the
county. But roads were built in this
county as early as 1889. the Green Bay
road being the oldest and now about the
poorest. If the amount of money raised
annually was judiciously expended for
five years, the roads would be SO improv-
ed that it would take comparatively
light sum to keep them in excellent re-
pair. AS it is now, wet weather invari-
ably brings miserable roads.
Some steps should be taken to change
the system of road work. When work
is done it should not be of temporary
character. A few years ago Schleswig
had poor roads through the interior
northern and eastern parts. But the
people have graded and gravelled until
now the town has the best highways in
the county.

THE MACHINE SHOPS.

The machine shops in this city will be
removed to Kaukauna, and not to Apple
ton, as has been stated by number of
papers which gathered their information
from the facts published in THE PILOT
two weeks ago. Three weeks ago we
stated that they would be removed to
Kaukauna or Appleton. The following
week we inadvertently used the word
Appleton for "Kaukauna. The wa
ter power at Kaukauna is now in the pos
session of the principal stockholders of
the road and manufactures will be estab-
lished there, and village founded. The
location of the machine shops there will
necessitate the removal of quite num-
Der of people from this city to that place
which will form the nucleus of a village.
The water power will be improved which
is said to be fully as good there as at
Appleton. Manufacturing will be enter
ed into Oh a grand scale and East Kau-
kauna will become fourishing place.
The persons interested in this scheme
have abundant capital to make it sue
cess.
The effect of this movement on Mani
towoc, every inhabitant Of this place can
fully appreciate. The master mechanic
has 200 names on his pay roll. Where
the machine shops and round house are,
will be the stopping place for all train
men and machinists. This will cause
the removal from the city of 200 of our
best citizens. The city has no better or
more public spirited people than the
railroad men stopping here, and their
loss to the city socially is no small cause
of regret.

THE COFFEE. +"

The ''gentlemen's coffee" given by DR..
Gridley at his residence last Thursday
evening, at which some fifty or sixty of
his married gentleman friends were pres
emf, was as complete a success IS an en-
joyable social gathering as the whole
affair was novel as new depar ture in
society customs. The invitations read
''from to g." and by o'clock one could
have called the roll of the fifty most
charming old and young married men in
the city, and they would all have respond
ed. Not only was the youth and beau
ty" of the city represented, but the older
and more dignifed of our society gentle
men were present, representing all ages
from that attained by the staid and sober
DIR. Simon to the Young and dashing
Master S. A. Wood-the latter, by the
way, being the only unmarried one pres
ent. DIR. Gridley received his guests
with the same grace and ease with which
he pulls teeth for parties who visit him
professionally, and while his household
duties claimed his attention during the
greater part OF the evening, he still prov
ed himself most agreeable entertainer.
The interval preceding the serving of
refreshments was delightfully."- passed in
conversation Which, although largely de-
voted to a discussion of theological sub
jects (Hersch Smalley was there was
such as all were naturally inclined to
revert to and was very animated. The
refreshments were elegant, the first course
consisting of sandwiches and cigars, fol
lowed by coffee, cake, cream and other
delicacies. They were served up III ex-
cellent style by an able corps of colored
walters dressed in white kids, standing
collars, swallow tail coats and the usual
snowy aprons, and the manner in which
they responded to the numerous calls
for more cigars, spittoons and matches
showed that the host had carefully train
ed them and reflected great credit upon
his housekeeping qualities. The doctors
cream pitchers must have been broken
later on in the evening, for we noticed
that after the second or third cup of
coffee had been served the cream was
brought on in old wine bottles, and to
economize space the large coffee cups
were removed and small glass cups of
peculiar shape substituted-being less in
the way of the card players. c. W.
White and Walker remarked that the
cream tasted after the wine which had
probably been in the bottles at some
time in the distant past; but those two
gentlemen had just returned from Madi-
son that evening, which accounts for
their "taste." The figures ''6 to 9" in
the invitations were not lost sight of, SO
the company brok up early-in the morn
ing-and the guests took their departure
to be met at the gate by their better
halves with the query "what kind of a
time did you have?" 1t is safe to say
that every one of them answered that
question as we did, by simply saying
delightful" The affair was thebiggest
kind of success and all present feel
under obligations to Doctor Gridley for
furnishing them the opportunity to SO
thoroughly enjoy themselves.

WOODEN, cotton, silk, linen and almost
all other kinds of goods have advanced
within six months truly to forty per cent.
and still we notice in papers, mostly
from neighboring cities, advertisements
of firms claiming to have bought before
the advance and to sell at old prices.
We make no such claim, as it Is impossi-
BILE to sell all goods at last seasons prices,
the advance having been too great and
fully maintained, with every indication
of a still further rise, especially in WOOL
ems, and manufacturers claim that the
top is not near reached yet; but we do
claim to sell most goods below present
values, having purchased heavier, when
prices began to turn upward, than any
other house in this city. Carpets, being
very heavy, are going up at fearful
rate, and although we have marked ours
up somewhat, our prices are still lower
than they ought to be and at least as low
as in Milwaukee or elsewhere at all
times. Remember we carry the best
makes obtainable, cut them to match, at
our risk, sew and lay them down if desir-
ed. It seems advisable for those who
may need carpets this year not to delay
buying too long. J.SoHUETrE & Bros.

FARMERS of Manitowoc county do not
fully realize the character of the Gorby
Agricultural Works of this city. An i'm.
mense amount of agricultural implements
are manufactured by Mr.. Smalley. He
began under difficulties. fire and want OF
sufficient capital having hampered him.
But now he is on the high road to sue,
cess. His feed mills, straw cutters and
plows are being used by the best farmers
of the county while he has monopoly
of the trade in northern counties. He
employs large number of men and still
finds it impossible to fill his orders.

FEES OF DOCTORS

The fee of doctors is an item that very
many persons are interested in just at
present. We believe the schedule foi
visits is $500, which would tax man
confined to his bed for year, and In
need of daily visit, over $1,000 year
for medical attendance alonel And one
single bottle of Hop Bitters taken in
time would save the 81, 900 and all years
sickness.

PROF. CUMNoCK.-In "the way of adj
vertising" we have quoted favorable no.
tees of persons who were announced to
lecture or give public readings in this
city. But we give our own opinion in
our own language when we say that Prof
Cumnock is the grandest man that ever
stood on platform in Manitowoc. He
needs no recommendation, his pre-emi-
nent powers are sufficiently well known.
But for the credit of Manitowoc let him
have an audience worthy of the reader.
Orators could spend an evening with
Cumnock and have good reason to ad-
mire the talent of the man. We are sell
dom blessed with an entertainment that
is superior in every respect, but such a
one we can all enjoy on the Sd of next
month.

odds against a Yankee dog of five pounds
more avoirdupois. About twenty chal-
lenges are on the way to the Maple
Grove man to bring on his dog. After
all the dogs in the city are cleaned out,
Hersch Smalley will enter his Touser,

e SPRING ELECTIONS,

AS the time for spring election draws
near candidates for town offices become
numerous. Quite number are already
looking out for an opportunity to serve
the people.
In the city we hear no names mention
ed on the democratic side for mayor and
treasurer. For the former office the
trouble will be to find a person willing
to be candidate. On the republican
side Mayor Schuette "has the refusal" of
the nomination. 1t cannot be denied
that he has made very faithful and eff
ficient mayor. Whether he will accept
the nomination or not we are unable to
say. Mr. Gelbke will be candidate for
reelection. He deserves well of the
people and if republican is to be elect
ed we know of no better man than treas
urer Gelbke.

BAR MEETING.

On Saturday last the members of the
Mauitowoc county bar held another
meeting to consider the erection of a new
circuit The question to be considered
was whether it was advisable to have
Ozaukee included in the proposed Thir-
teenth circuit. A majority of the law
yers preferred the substitution of Calu-
met for Ozaukee, and resolutions we1e
adopted declaratory of this fact and also
expressing a preference for tue old cir
cult to a new one including Ozaukee.
The desire among the attornies in this
county for a new circuit arises principal
ly from opposition to Judge Mclean,
and this feeling is shared to a great ex-
tent by the people of the county. The
people are opposed to Judge Mclean on
account of his decisions in cases of appeal
from the action of the county board in
disalIowing claims against the county.
The lawyers claim to have many other
causes of grievance
