If there be good ground for dropping
any policeman employed by the city it,
of course, should be done. But an Off
Ger should not suffer for his efficiency.
There are many young fellows in the city
who need to be dealt with severely and
it is much safer to have policeman who
will arrest men who do not conduct them
selves properly, than to have one who
will connive at disorderly acts.

lively small amount of blowing was done
in those states last fall, and the spring

SOME incendiary got his work in quite
well early on Saturday morning of last
week. A barn located on Eighth street
near DR.. Easton's first took fire. 1t was
used by Rand & Wagner as store room
and they had about $500 worth of goods
in there at the time. The wind blew a
gale and large cinders flew distance of
40 rods thus endangering property at
distance as we'll as that nearer. The fire
company did excellent work when they
began but were e1asperatingly slow in
getting around.
A short while after another barn near
the north side engine house took fire. 1t
is located in the most combustible block
in the city, but fortunately the fire was
limited to that one building.
Again the alarm sounded and the Office
of George Guyles was found to be on fire.
The shed adjoining the Office was badly
burned and many valuable papers in the
Office were spoiled. Several articles of
value in the warehouse were burned.
There is no question but that all three
buildings were set on fire. 1t is barely
possible, but not probable, that Guyles's
Office caught from the cinders flying from
the burning barn on Eighth street. But
it is certain there are some persons in the
city who are plying the trade of incendi-
airy for some purpose.

THE play of Romeo and Juliet as pre-
sented last Thursday night, reached the
expectation of all who knew how large an
undertaking any of Shakespeare's plays
is for travelling troupe which visits a
place as large as Manitowoc. About one
half the play was presented. The cur
tailment was such as to make the play
dlsjointed and to mar the plot 1t was
well that the troupe, having the presump-
ton to attempt Shakespeare at all, select
ed Romeo and Juliet, play pleasing
enough in plot and interesting enough in
recital, but lacking in that intensity of
passion and energy of expression which
characterize most of the great poets
tragedies. 1t would he almost sacrileg
ious to hear Miss Coombs play Lady
Macbeth, or her Romeo, Eve have for
gotten the fellows nsme) attempt Hamlet,
Lear, Richard, Othello, Cassius or Bru-
tus. Romeo and Juliet are more addict
ed to the tender passion than to that of
any other nature and no one cares much
whether the characters are murdered by
the players or not. Such a dramatic
troupe as that of which Miss Coombs is
the star, are unable to form true con-
ception of Shakespeare leading charac-
tiers, or if capable of forming an ideal are
unable to properly represent it. Their
ambition outruns their ability and, while
if less pretentious they might command
success, they invite failure by attempting
too much. In one of the ordinary, in
significant plays,-a pretty plot, COM
monplace sayings, a few love scenes. q
murder or fight, a shallow villain and q
confding moke, the Coombs' Company
will do well. They did as we'll last
Thursday as one could expect, surpassed
expectation in many instances, but it was
because expectation did not run high.

TIE TOWN AND COUNTRY.

Boys, farming is a slow way to
make money, and its all the better
for that. Money made slow is mon
ey made sure. A dollar dug out of
the ground is worth five dollars
made 10 town and better than hun
dred dollars given to young man.
Habits are formed in our youth,
and town habits are to spend ell
that is made. A young man that ia
clerkiug at $50 month will spend
it all going to shows and frohcking
around, which amt SO bad, if it
wasn't for the habits. He gets go
after awhile that he is always hanks
ering after shows and some new ex
element. A young man ought to
spend three or four years in the
country, if for nothing else but his
good health-his constitution. 1t
will build lin up and expand him.
A country boy can't dance as
gracefully and skip as cat>like as a
town boy, for he doesn't walk on
payements all the time. A country
boy walks on a dirt floor. He
works all over and dances all over.
A town boy can fight right good
fight for two or three minutes, but
country boy can fight all day
They say the town boys made the
most spirited soldiers in the war,
but the country boys had the most
endurance.
