There was a certain street corner

sharp-shooters by day. and at least a
dozen people We're Killed there. Citi-

night, and a sign of Danger-Look

a bullet, likewise, laid him low When
night closed down that sharp-shooter

bullets passed through him and were

on the next he was detected. The

CARD.

As / expect to be installed in my new
quarters before the next issue of The
Pilot, sincerely desire now before sew
ering connection with my old place of
business, to thank my many friends and
patrons who have had dealings with me
for the past 80 years, and especially those
friends who during all these years have
been my steady customers and have
shown their confidence and good will.
With my present increased facilities
and the experience 1 have gained, trust
I shall be able in the coming years to
fully meet the wants of all who may
favor me with their patronage. With
this end in view shall carry a much
larger and more completely assorted stock
of goods in all departments than have
ever done before. Knowing that all my
old customers will continue their patron
age, also wish to invite as many new
ones as will give us an opportunity to
make them our customers.
Respectfully,

PIENING would go into decline if some
able bodied republican wouldn't come
around occasionally with whom he could
wrestle in argument. But Piening
doesn't feel exectly at home this fall.
The certainty of sweeping democratic
majorities- there is no man whose
ken of the political horizon is sharper
has somewhat dazed him. He has for
so long time been fighting against the
party in power that he doesn't know
how to wear the victor's clothes. He
thinks they don't fit; they pinch him
under the arms and are too loose in the
neck, and baggy in most places.
ONLY two ballot boxes are needed for
amendments. One for ballots for and
against amendment to section l of
arcticle of the constitution. The other
for and against biennial election amend
ments being amendments to section 4,
arcticle 6; section IL, article 7; section l.,
arcticle Is. Those last three are on
one ticket. Those are the directions of
tue attorney general.

REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.

The republican conventions placed in
nomination on Saturday last the follow
ing ticket: Senator, David Nottage, of
Two Rivers; Member of Assembly, LIST
District, Peter Phillips; End, no nomina-
ton made; 3rd, Reinhardt Rahr; Sheriff,
John Bibinger of Manitowoc; Treasurer,
Carl Gelbke of Manitowoc; County CLERK,
John Krejnik of Kossuth; District Attor-
ney, nominee declined; Surveyor, Carl
Ertz of Manitowoc; Coroner, DR.. Pritch-
ard of Manitowoc.
There is no use in Disgusting the fact
that the ticket is strong che. The
democrats can not win by trusting to the
usual democratic majority and thus neg
lecting to do work. This is well or
ganized attempt on the pat of the re-
publican party to gain possession of the
county and it needs concerted action on
the part of the democrats nominated to
prevent it.

RAT POISON
which kills every time, sold at Robinson
& Hinrichs.

THE boiler of the tug Wetzel of Ra
cine exploded on Saturday last, blowing
the ting and every one on board to frag-
ments. The Wetzel and Sill were racing
for tow, the Wetzel being about so feet
in advance. The captain of the Sill saw
the engineer run to the captain, speak to
him and then return to the engine room
and just as he was about to take hold of
the water valve the explosion took place
and the Sill seemed to be lifted out of
the water while the air was filed with
cinders, steam and debris. The entrails
of one of the crew of the Wetzol were
thrown on the deck of the Sill. Three
persons persisted and no part of them
could be found. The captain was owner
of the tug and is said to have been one
of the most experienced tugmen on the
lakes having been in the business since
he was boy. He had considerable
money on his person at the time of the
explosion.

THE Lake Shore Times says Hussey
and his friends will bolt John Carey, and
then states that they are justified in do
ing SO, because the treatment of HusBey
by Carey and his friends has been un-
mercifully bitter. The editor of The
Times is a gentleman who would not
willingly, we believe, do injustice to
political opponent. Of course it is his
duty as editor of the republican paper to
make what capital he can from Hussey's
bolt. But let us review. the circumstan-
ces to determine the justification which
The Times assumes on insufficient testi-
mony.
LIST. 4. John Carey supported John Hus-
sey for county superintendent after he
received the nomination, supported him
with the utmost cordially, as everybody
in Meme will testify who attended the
election. 1t may be argued the vote
showed otherwise. So it did in the case
of the present incumbents of the Office
of sheriff and of superintendent and
Carey cannot be and is not held respons-
ible by either of these officers
End. We do not want to inject our
personality into any newspaper article,
but as one of the friends referred to
we will make public what we offered to
individuals heretofore, SO to any person
who will come forward and prove, to the
satisfaction of any disinterested person,
that we asked him to support Mr.. Vie
balm against Mr.. Hassey. Here is a
chance to make little money which will
be kept open while our solyency lasts.
3rd. We do not know to certainty
that Mr.. Hussey intends to bolt. but that
is his privilege and no one should re-
strain him in it. Last fall when he car
ried the town of Mishicott against the
writer by 80 majority. an unprecedented
feat in that town, there was no whining
on the part of the person who was thus
slaughtered, and no attempt made to
spread the knowledge that he had bolted,
and we feel certain that Mr.. Carey will
accept the bolt with the same philosophic
indifference.
4th. If Mr.. Hussey intends to bolt he
does it on personal grounds and can
hardly ask political friends to back him
in private enmities.

WINES AND LIQUORS
for medicinal purposes-a first class stock
kept at Robinson & Hinrichs.

The "MAsCoTTE" is the name of new
coal oil heating stove that stakes the
cake" of anything that we have ever seen.
1t is simple in its construction, still it is
perfect; it consumes its own smoke and
gas; is economical in its use of fuel, and
is an ornament to any room. The legs
are 30 constructed that you can attach
casters to them, so that when you are
through using the stove in your sitting
room you can wheel it into your bed
room. 1t Eliminates room so perfectly
as to do away with the necessity of using
any lamps. Don't fail to 'drop in" at
either store of the Wagner & Rand Hard
ware Co. and see this wonderful "Mas-
cotte." 1t is really modern wonder.

The report was circulated in Franklin
and Maple Groye, that John Carey had
opposed the nomination of John Bolen
for sheriff, having promised to assist him.
Mr. Bolen has not, we are satisfied, Civ
en- currency to this report because we
have conversed with him since the con-
vention and he manifested no such spirit
of unfairness. John Carey did not have
a delegate to that convention chosen with
reference to himself except those from
his own town and he did not know their
preference for any candidate other than
himself, nor does he now know for whom
they voted. They were not men to be
controlled by John Carey or any other
man, being representative men. They
came unpledged to any candidate and
voted solely in accordance with their own
wishes. They were the only delegates
selected by the democratic nominee for
senator and he would not presume to give
them instructions. Carey's nomination,
of course, made Bolen's impolitic if not
impossible and Mr.. Bolen SO understood
it. OF the 16 men who supported Mr..
Bolen, it is safe to say that not one sup
ported John Carey. They were justified
in not doing SO; their duty to the candi-
date whom they we're chosen to support
would not allow them to. nominate anoth-
er Irishman and thus destroy MIR. Bolen's
chances. If Mr.. Bolen had majority
of the delegates pledged to him in pre-
ference to any and all others, Carey's
nomination was impossible. Those who
preferred Carey could not vote for Bolen
and thus jeopardize the success of the
whole ticket and insure the defeat of the
two Irish candidates. Irishmen should
look cody at this question and not fly off
on a tangant without giving cool consid-
Grafton to the subject. John Carey
made no canvass of the county and had
no delegates chosen for him except those
from Meme.
