The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1883-09-13

The people of Two Rivers have had a
source of ceaseless activity in the bridge
question. Whenever general business
was dull, the public pulse was made to
throb with more than its accustomed
rapidity by means of special election
to determine what kind of bridge should
be built. When, in the evening, the
usual round of amusements became tire
some, the fire bells were rung and when
the fire company and the throngs that
usually assemble to see water poured
where it will do the least good, had gath
cred, it was found that the bridge ques-
ton was the solemn occasion which
called the people out. Nash tried to
direct attention from this all-absorbing
topic by getting up few able bodied
lies on sea serpents and stars of Bethle-
hem, but the people stuck to the bridge
and refused to be switched off on stars
or anything else from the main question.
People in that modern city quit lying
about the weather and hunting; the min
lister was not discussed; nobody thought
about Dakota lands; and even Slade and
Mitchel's proposed mill fell fiat. The
Bridge filled mems minds and it was the
first word babies tried to utter.
But now the bridge is going to be
built verify, built of iron, of iron
that rusts not, nor will it be affected by
the tooth of time. The Bridgeless city
will soon have peace and an iron bridge
with a swing to it.

The Dead Head Directory for the city
OF Manitowoc is out. 1t Is said to be
unreliable in number Of cases, both in
placing good names as unreliable and in
the omission of VIGOROUSLY dishonest
names. The omissions and the wrong
insertions may be the result of spite and
may be unintentional errors. If the
publishers are honest, they should try
the work again. The times demand a
work of the kind. Every man who re-
fuses TO pay what he justly owes should
be shown up. His dishonesty should
see the light of day. If he cannot be
made honest through any more honorable
motive than the fear of exposure, let that
means be employed in the interests of
defrauded people. II the publishers of
this work can convince people that their
scheme is not a Matchmaking one, they
are entitled to and will receive patronage.
The Pilot Office books are open for their
inspection with the additional privilege
OF stating whence the information comes,
80 that aggrieyed parties may know
where to look for redress. Let this
work be conscientiously done and it will
prove blessing. Otherwise it is highly
disreputable.

AT the council meeting two weeks ago
a committee consisting of the mayor and
Northumberland of the wards was
appointed to inquire into the merits of
the Holly system of waterworks as used
in number of western cities. At the
meeting of Monday night the committee
was not ready to make report and so
the matter has been laid over for two
weeks at least. The Pilot scribe inter-
viewed a number of the aldermen in
order to get their views on the subject,
and was led to believe that majority of
them are in favor of accepting the offer
made to the city. The committee is
waiting for replies to letters of inquiry
sent to the officials of numerous cities
having a system of Holly water works
and the decision of the council will de-
pend largely upon the nature of those
| replies. All that have been received
thus far speak in the most fattering
| terms of the working of the system. At
the next meeting of the council the mat
ter will in all probability be definitely
settled.

PETER KoHnBEoK was murdered in

PETER KoHLBEoK was murdered in
Milwaukee last Saturday while in the
barn OF his employer, being shot through
the breast. No clue to the murderer has
been found unless very fragile web OF
circumstantial evidence which surrounds
one August Kochand can be materially
strengthened by later developments.
No cause for the deed can be discovered,
and as the victim did not speak during
the two hours he lived after receiving
the wound, the prospects of identifying
the assassin are not good. The Sentinel
says Kohlbeck resided in Manitowoc two
years ago; that he was here In the employ
OF farmer for number of years and
had left 5000 or 500 with him when he
went away. An interview with Mr..
Joseph Weinfurther of this city, who
was well acquainted with Kohlbeck,
substantiates those statements. 1t was
further learned that the murdered man
had a number of relatives in this county,
among them the wife of one Wellauer,
residing near Frsncis Greek, Mrs. Steyer
of Kossuth and Geo. Wellaner of Cato;
also that he was engaged to be married
to young woman at present residing in
Kossuth. Mr.. Weinfurther further
states that Kohlbeck was a quiet, in
dustrious and kind hearted young fellow
and was greatly esteemed by his associ-
ates in this county. The money men
toned is in the hands of thoroughly
honest farmer of this county and the
idea that its possession had anything to
do with the killing of the young man is
secuted by those best acquainted with
the circumstances.
The apparent absence of any cause fol
the murder and the mystery surrounding
the affair has awakened an unusual
interest in the matter and the Milwaukee
officials are determined to do theil
utmost to bring the murderer to justice
but with no other clue than suspicion
the result is doubtful.
LATER. One Nick Rodeman was ar
rested in Milwaukee yesterday as the
murderer of Peter Kohlbeck and las
made confession. He says he shot the
man in quarrel about woman.

Dress Silks

That the quality of our black
as well as our colored Silks is
of a very superior kind, and
that the prices are right, Is
clearly shown by the extraor-
binary success we have had
in this line during the last
year.
Every lady who used our
silks for dresses, and there are
many, advises her friends to
get some of the same kind she
had, and that is always the
safest for the would-be pur,
chaser to go by and the best
recommendation we could wish
for. There is report that the
silk crop in Japan is a failure.
and that silks will go up, but
we don't believe it and will
not advance prices for some
time at least.

For courteous treatment of teachers,
the school board of the village of Cato
stands unrivaled. Last spring at the
examination, the teachers found the
school door locked and after search of
two hours the key was found. Yester-
day the examinations were again held in
Cato but the school-house was again
locked and the examination was held in
ball room, the only available building
in the village.

machines in this county, has always pre-
vented many interested in the County
Fair from attending il, we would urge
the following of the example of the
owners of the threshing machines in
the towns of Maple Grove and Rockland
who have signed an agreement not to
run their threshers. on the last day of
the fair. -
REEDsvnLE, Sept. 10, 1888.
The above suggestion from prominent
manufacturer of Reedsville is timely and
if acted upon will materially increase the
attendance at the county fair.

The interior of Turner Hall is now
completed with the exception of new
maple floor. The veneering of the out
side with brick is progressing and in a
short time Manitowoc can boast of as
good hall as almost any city of it's size
in the state. The improvements have
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000. Mr..
Henry Greve did the work and it will
undoubtedly prove very satisfactory.

A LAKE captain went booming before
the wind past Two Rivers on Friday last
with his flag at half mast and ran in here.
Those mokes not posted on marine mat
tiers may not know what it means to
have flag at half mast. Well, learn
then: it is signal of distress. The life
saving crew went out and overhauled
that captain. Don't be guilty of con-
founding this overhaul with that article
of male apparel which goes by name
somewhat similarly The captain swore
he didn't want any life saving crew; a
tug was what he was after. When asked
why in the name of civil service reform
he didn't nail his flag to the mast head
Ignorant reader, you must understand
that is the language of the tug which
yen are incapable of understanding in
stead of having it 'alf and 'alf, he pro-
ceeded to explain that his halyards were
busted, his catheads were sporting with
the iib-boo1n, his taffrail was out of place
and hell was to pay generally, to come
down to plain language. The life saving
crew wanted to baptize the captain but
he asked for stay of proceedings and
the crew hoisted their boat into wagon
and went back to Two Rivers like pill
grims returning from the holy land.--
That captain will never get harp.

SCHMIDT & WrrTENBERa.

A LITTLE daughter of conductor John
Cone met with an accident on Sunday
which for time it was thought would
result fatally. While going along the
elevated walk leading to the Lighthouse
on the end of the harbor pier, she fell q
distance of IL or IA feet, striking on the
rocks with which the cribs are filed.
Her jaw bone was broken in three places
and she sustained other injuries of a
painful but less serious character. The
little girl is seven years old.
