eLOOK AROUND.
THAT'S WHAT OUR REPoRTER DID, AND
HERE'S WHAT HE SAW.

An unusual activity on the part of the
employees in Chas. Book s store suggested
to The Pilot scribe that there was an
item to be had for the asking; but the
only response to the inquiry, "What's
the matter in herea" was: Nothing
the matter; only trying to put two stocks
of goods into one store. look around. T"
The reporter obeyed orders and looked
around and asked questions. He learned
that MIR. Book had just returned from
the Chicago and Eastern markets and
had laid in larger stock of fall and win
ter goods than ever before at single
purchase-had bought, in fact, SO largely
that he was crowded for room in his
store to properly display or store his
goods. AS usual, the stock is complete.
Tho dress goods embrace everything
from calico to finest silks, and all in the
newest styles and fabrics. A special
feature of the store is line of ladies'
and children's shoes, among which were
noticed full assortment of the popular
@. M. Henderson & Co. and Atkins,
Ogden & Co.'s warranted goods, ac-
knowledged by all to be the best and
most serviceable shoes in the market.
A glance at the clothing department
showed an immense stock-much larger
than ever before carried-and made up
of a great variety of material in all the
popular styles and ranging in price from
the cheapest to the best. The ladies'
comfort was looked after in beautiful
selection of cloaks, dolmans, English
walking jackets, Russian circulars, etc.,
made up in the most fashionable shapes
and which were purchased at such advan-
tageous figures that Mr.. Book is prepar-
ed to offer extra inducements to purchas-
ers in the way of low prices. There was
the usual quota OF groceries, crockery
and glassware, but the fact was apparent
all through that their purchase had Ieen
made with special reference to the wants
of customers and at the same time plac-
ing before them all that was new and
desirable in the various lines-furnishing
an opportunity to get stylish goods and
wares at the ordinary price. Mr.. Book
evidently anticipates brisk fall and
winter trade and proposes to leave no
cause for complaint of dearth of goods
or choice of styles. To this end he has
put in stock that it is real pleasure
to look at and those who deal with him
will probably have no reason to grumble
at prices. Altogether it is one of the
finest stocks in the city and must be seen
to be appreciated.

WALKER and Kirwan never had any
patriotism. They were both too young
to go to the war, but they wouldn't go
anyway. They would take out their
citizens papers in Canada if there was
any danger of being drafted. If there
was war to-day and they could not get
clear of the draft on the plea of general
worthlessness, as good fighting men,
they would become missionaries and
start off to convert the heather in NADIA
gascar or New Zealand. But these men
with all their lack of patriotism and
respect for the old veterans "who born
and nursed in Dangers path have dared
her worst, " want military titles and have
concluded to ask The Sunday Telegraph
to confer one upon each of them. Wal
ker wants to be called ''Major" and
Kirwan being little OFT on the par value
of military handles wants to be dubbed
Corporal. The Sunday Telegraph
will please take notice.

Two of the dudes belonging to the
Uncle Toms Cabin Troupe thought
Manitowoc good place in which to do
little blood-letting and set to work to
thump each other on South Eighth st.
They did it in true professional style,
but finally clinched and strange to say
the fellow on top received the worst
punishment. At the termination of the
row they repaired to their hotel and
washed up. Let Slade and Mitchell
come here and we'll pitch a ring in front
of the post office at mail time and offer
a bonus beside.

WILL DELANo is man of many words,
but he swears by the wings of old Boreas
that he wants no more lip about storms.
When that pirate flag goes up it does
not necessarily mean that there's going
to be rain storm. It may be wind; it
may be rain; it may be a sign that Sand
ford is going to be arrested and it always
is sign that he is going to be told that
$50 there is another rain storm coming
Will is dangerous man when he's
reused and it is time to let up on telling
him the kind of weather we are going to
have Or somebody must die.

One can hardly believe that 80 much
ignorance should prevail in England as
to American geography, and when we
hear of Englishmen inquiring about the
state of New England, and talking of the
war between North and South America.
we are inclined to believe that the mar
rator has been drawing upon his imagin-
alton. But Stephens says there are
people in France who believe Ireland to
be county in England, and others who
have not the faintest idea of the where
abouts of that island.

THIs nuisance of playing soldiers on
duty is quite an expense to the state from
which no return is derived. The various
encampments of Wisconsin National
Guard during August and September,
cost the state for subsistence alone
which does not cover one-haIf the actual
expense-$S4977. There IS no good
comes from these encampments and they
are quite expensive. They should be
discontinued.

The county has won the case appealed
from the judgement of Judge ellison,
setting aside the action of the commits
sioners in equalizing the tax on Mantle
voc County. The judgement of the
circuit court is reversed, and the findings
of the commissioners stand. Upon what
grounds the decision is rendered it is
impossible to ascertain at this writing.
The decision is very important one and

FARMERS in this county do not as a
rule pay enough attention to the i'm.
provement of their stock and to the pro-
ducts of their farm. Grain is sowed by
a number without knowing whether it is
suited to the climate or the soil. There
are few farmers who experiment with
new seed and determine fully just the
kind from which best results can be
obtained. A little more intelligence in
farming would make it less laborious and
more productive.

On Saturday night the tannery belong
ing to Fred Schultz, located in the 3rd
ward was totally destroyed by fire, to-
gether with it's contents. Mr.. Schultz
was attending the theater at the time and
on his way home learned that the fire
which he saw was destroying his prop
erty. The origin of the fire is mystery.
The building was old and of course
caught fire easily.
The loss is estimated at $40, 900. This
is covered by an insurance of $4,000, of
which $4,000 are on the building and
machinery, and So, 900 on the stock. It
is rather hard blow to Mr.. Schultz, as
the amount of insurance on stock and
buildings will no more than cover the
debts and he proposes to see those paid
first. His health is such that he cannot
assume heavy responsibilities, and it is
very doubtful whether he will rebuild.
The hard work of lifetime went off In
the fire of Saturday.

THERE was panic among vessels on
Saturday. Sailors are said to be super
stitious and there must have been some
''sign" on Saturday to cause the rush
for this harbor. The day was calm and
not threatening. But perhaps the sail
.ors heard that the Manitowoc county fair
was at hand and that this was guaranty
for bad weather. There was forest of
masts below Eighth street bridge, all
waiting for the storm which came not.
Sunday was spent in waiting but the
weather remained provokingly calm, and
the storm signal scarcely tapped as if it
too were seized with dis.aste for work.
On Monday the vessels started out, much
to the delight of the tug Kitty Smoke,
which got some lows. But the vessels
bound for the north found head wind
again before night and the bay was dot
ted with sails while the harbor presented
an appearance of life and the streets re-
sounded with the language of the sea.
They all got away again on Wednesday
morning. The equinoxial is lying of
time and the storm should come if it did
not.

They are only relics now. More perfect ma

'sDUsKING" is word not to be found
in the dictionary: Dusking is an un-
sportsmanlike way of killing game, a
way that Walker would kill game, with
a stick or by jumping on them. The
state of New York is going for fellows of
that kind. The waterfowl on the Hudson
are being slaughtered on their feeding
places, nights, and the authorities are
waking up to the fact that the thing must
be stopped.

THE prohibition movement in this
state is practically dead. Those who
were prominent in urging have become
aware of the utter impossibility of push
ing prohibition to successful issue. Had
they had the good sense to see this before
they might have done much toward
regulating the traffic and accomplish
great good. As it is they have simply
demonstrated the strength of those op-
posed.

SOME time ago woman from Two
Creeks made complaint before Judge
Smart of the conduct of her husband in
paying more attention to the wife of a
neighbor than was consistent with NOR
atty or law. The Judge felt that legal
proceedings would lead to separation
and managed to patch up peace between
the discordant couple. But the erring
man could not keep away from his
inamorata and the expostulations of his
wife made him SO furious that he pro-
ceeded to beat her. He has two sons
one approaching manhood, who took
their mothers part and In the fracas the
father had his arm broken. He had the
boys arrested and the mother went to
a lawyers Office to begin proceedings for
a divorce. The man was sent for in the
hope that some accommodation could be
reached whereby divorce would not be
necessary. He put the whole blame on
his heart, which organ would not be
controlled by his will, or his sense of
right, but led him to illicit dalliance
with his neihgbor's wife. He could
make no promise of better conduct on
the part of the hayward heart, notwith-
standing the entreaties of his wife, the
protestations of her lawyers and the
indignant looks of his sons, two manly
intelligent looking young fellows. The
lecherous old fellow managed to wheedle
his wife into an agreement whereby she
agreed to discontinue proceedings for q
divorce for reluctant promise of future
virtuous conduct on his part. But he
pleaded long and earnestly for his illicit
pleasure, shameless in acknowledging
his infatuation and seemingly regardless
of the disgrace he was putting upon his
family. His neighbors might use an
argument with him which he might
appreciate.
