HISTORY OF MANITOWOC COUN-
TY AND NORTHERN WISCONSIN.

We are gratifed to learn that the Wes-
tern Historical company are to publish a
complete and extensive history OF Man.
itowoc county. Their representatives
are already in the field, charged with the
duty of collecting statistics incident to
its preparation. The work will contain
full and complete history of the coun-
ty, nom the time that the first settler
came and the frat cabin was built down
to the present; with correct and reli-
able record OF its wealth, resources and
great growth and development. 1t will
also include mapy incidents and remin-
iscesces OF Pioneer life; sketches of
Pioneer Representative men and women,
with a history Of the different Towns and
Villages, Churches, Schools, and organ
izations, together with full and COM
plete list of all the County and City Of
ticials from the first election ever held
down to the latest. They will exhaust
every accessible source of information to
secure which will add interest TO the work.
Such volume will be of great value and
interest to all. Now is the time to get
from the old settlers a truthful account
of the Pioneer History ofthe county and
it is hoped that ali settlers and citizens
will furnish information that will add
interest to the work

HEAP MARRIED.

David Adler Is mild sounding name,
nothing in it suggestive of Iechery or
moral crookedness. But little man who
IS possessor of the name lately got into q
peck of trouble through having more
wives than the law allows to any modern
David. David is small in size, but he
must have the heart Of lion as he mar
ries with perfect recklessness. Indeed,
marrying may be said to be David s pro-
fession. He lives upon it. IT'S his cap
ital in trade. lie lays siege to woman's
heart and she yields the fort.
-Four weeks ago the gay deceiver met
Katie Weiner of Milwaukee, who gave
him her hand with her heart in it. Pater-
familias gave his blessing and $3.50 with
which to start David in business. The
latter came to Manitowoc short time
ago and started little candy store on
North Ninth street. Everything went
lovely, Adler manifesting No disposition
to contract fresh alliances. But a storm
was brewing. A woman from Phila-
delphia put in an appearance at Milwau-
kee in search of David Adler, who she
claimed had married her two years be-
fore, squandered what little wealth she
had and then decamped. She met Wei
ner and related her story, and to convince
him showed her marriage certificate.
The father-in-law telegraphed to Adler
to go to Milwaukee as he had q splendid
opportunity to set him up in business
thore. But the operator at this place
''kDew not David" and the telegram
was not delivered. Monday night Wei
ner aud his son put in an appearance,
warrant was sworn out and the bigamist
arrested. In default of bail fixed at
$1,000, David chirped his hymns in a cell
in the county jail.
The Philadelphia wife claims that she
knows of two other women whom the
inconstant David sealed, and deserted.
He is a mild hammered little fellow and
from his appearance one would Judge he
would find it difficult to find even one
woman willing to become an anpendace
of the clan Adler. He had his prelimi
nary examination before Justice Byron
Tuesday morning and was held.

panion remained in the boat and was car

MEME.

Several persons are here from the south
and east visiting relatives and friends.
The largest musquitos ever seen in this
locality were on duty last week. They
were nearly as big as very young rabbits
They courted acquaintance readily and
became attached to fellow in no time.
TIE storm Of Friday night "prostrat-
ed" the crops to a considerable extent.
Harvesting is now much more difficult
than it was prior to the visitation Of the
aforesaid storm.
DIR. Hayes OF st. Nazians, found we'll
filed pocket book on the Green Bay
road last week. The owner can have it
by calling on the amiable and honest
NJ. D.
Harvesting is progressing nicely.
Crops Of all kinds are 'just splendid"
and the honest and toll worn farmer is
supremely happy. The quality Of wheat
harvested will rank A No. !, and the
quantity will reach, if it does not .urpass
any thing ever before seen here for the
acreage sown. Generally speaking those
who applied salt to their fields last spring
have not rs good crops as those who left
them in the hands of Providence.
The heat Of last week was tremendous.
f. Herr, boy about Ii years of age,
died here on Friday from it's effect Mike
Clark a young man of about "a was
severely Frustrated from the same cause
on Thursday. He was dangerously i'll
for some time but he is now in air way
of recovery. The storm of Friday mod
Grated the weather and now ali goes hap
Ply as marriage bell.
A party consisting of rollicking young
folks from Chicago and Manitowoc were
here on Sunday. They went to Pigeon
Lake and boated and romped to their
hearts content. One of them, a tall,
shapely young lawyer from the Garden
City, strayed away from his companions
and became lost in the woods. After
long search he was found sitting on de-
cayed log calmly surveying the beauties
OF the surrounding scenery. His artistic
eye was 80 well riveted upon the sublime
workings Of Nature that he could not be
induced to move from his Entertainments.
After while, however, his companions
succeeded in tearing him away from the
objects of his affections. He was kindly |
taken home, fondly cared for and gently
put to bed.

DEATH OF BEN JONES.

benjamin Jones died to-day at A. Il.
He has been bedridden for the last two
years. Mr.. jones was one of the Oldest
settlers in Manltowoc county, having
come here in 1886. In company with
his brother William Jones, lie purchased
a large tract of land including the site of
the city OF Manitowoc, in 1886. A village
was laid out at that early day and Mr..
Jones fortune has ever since been cast
with the place Of which he was the foun-
der We will give more extended no.
tice next week of Mr.. Jones and his Ia
bors in Manitowoc.

THE M, L. S. & W. road is booming,
with force of 900 men on the extension.
Money is being also expended in build
ing depots. purchasing locomotives and
cars. \ large depot is being built at
Amigo. Six new engines have been or
dered from the Providence locomotive
works and forty new box cars have been
received within the last week. Track
laying is going onat the rate of one half
mile per day and the surveyors have
already reached Pelican Lake.

HE following persons went TO Osh-
kosh to attend the state teachers exami-
nation Z. J. Walsh. II. C. Walsh, P.
e. Hewitt, A. Whitman, Jas. O'Hara,
Ed. Brown and John O'Hara. No other
county in the state will furnish so large
delegation, it is safe to predict. Those
young men are deserving of great deal of
credit and their industry proves that they
do not purpose allowing their brains to be-
come stagnant.

TRAPPING seems to be aslost art The
plague was extinguished when the law
looked upon it as deliberate niede
meanor. Just while it was treated in q
sentimental way it grew and fourished.
We have had experience with tramps,
have offered them work, but they fed
from it as from a pest. In ninety-nine
cases out of q hundred, the tramp is a
worthless, indolent scamp a criminal
loafer,
