CATO FALLS.

Schools in this vicinity are about to
close for the regular spring vacation.
They are all managed well and the
teachers have earned the confidence OF
their patrons by their diligence and
conscientious discharge of duty.
The inns of Clarks Mills (thrse in
number,) under the proprietorship of
prominent men, are being supported
well, notwithstanding the high tax to be
paid annually. As the viper of the still
does not bite fiercely nor poisoinously
to some, the majority of such commun-
ity predicts, that more such hitchinc
places might be established; consequent
iy two more are to be established within
the limits of the petty village above
named, and the cosmopolitan visitors of
those friendly receivers can find refuge
during their transient visit there.
Mr.. Carey of Cato Falls has sold his
farm and is removing to Chiffon to-day,
where he intends to make his home in
future days. Mr.. Carey's neighbors and
friends wish him success in his new
residence. and inshis removal they lose

respected by all who know him.
Mr.. Vennor's predictions of an early
Spring has caused the people of Cato to
rejoice; and many like prognostications
of farmers here have added anew to their
rejoicings. The predictions of boun-
tiful harvest the coming Summer excltes
the anxious granger.
Mrs. Dennis Loughlin has been sick
during the last few days. Her recovery
has been speedily looked for under the

A LARGE number of the citizens of
Milwaukee held a meeting on Monday
evening to discuss means by which the
city expenses may be lightened and thus
reduce taxation which is said to be griav-
ously burdensome. One person was in
favor of reducing school expenses and by
allowing pupils to attend but one session
each day, thus lessen the number of
teachers, as also the expense of building.
Another argued that saloons did rot pay
license enough, that license in the city
should be fixed at $500. This opinion
was cheered. But when the state fixed
a minimum license of S75, Milwaukee
through special legislation, had the
license for its saloon-keepers fixed at $50.
Milwaukee is no more tax-ridden than
Manitowoc is. Every 20 years tne prop
erty of Manitowoc is connscated. How
are expenses to De lessened? 1t is ex-
tremely difficult to say. But the econo-
my that viii look to our schools as a
place where retrenchment might begin,
is short sighted to say the least. Leaks
must be sought out and stopped else
where. There are many of them.

ONLY A RAG PICKER.

He is old and poor; has no friends and
is town charge partially, but he man
aged to exc out q precarious existence by
picking up rags throughout the county,
and the slight amount paid him by the
town of Manitowoc Rapids. A harmless,
iuoffensive old man, was John kohn,
whose hair was frosted by the hardships
of so years. Poverty joined with age
made him feeble, and people pitied the
poor old man as he pursued his daily
work gathering rags. Age always begets
sympathy, and when age and want unite
none but villain would be lacking in
reverence.
Two weeks ago old John Kohn was at
his usual work, having steady old horse
and an old sled. The old man had his
legs dangling over the side of the sleigh,
the weather not being cold. While pro-
ceeding slowly on the Branch road he
met team and turned out, slowly as it
was natural age should. But the driver
of the team, true to the instincts of the
people who drive double, teams, crashed
into the old man'S sleigh literally crush
ing one OF Ills legs. The bones of the
leg rom the knee down were so badly
broken that the leg had to be amputated
above the knee. The bones were broken
IN several places, and the leg was bruised
into pulp. Naturally, one would sup
pose the perpetrator of this vile deed
would stop and give some assistance to
the feeble old man he had well nigh
murdered. But he did not He gallop
ed off leaving the old man in his agony.
DR.. Luhmsn visited him and am
putated the leg. 1t was the only way
to save the old mans life and that was p
desperate chance. But he is doing well
and the doctor has hopes he will recover
Notwithstanding his age.
Now, is not the perpetrator of this
deed almost murderer? But he is no
worse than hundreds of others who drive
along the road regardless of everything,
like Malay running amuck. There is
no safety in allowing an old person or g
woman to drive a team in the country.
Their lives are endangered by the reck-
less way in which heavy teams stick to
the road and collide with every light
vehicle on their track.
Is not the man who inflicted so much
pain and suffering on old John Kohn
practically guilty of murder2 And is it
not proper that steps should be taken for
the fellows apprehension It won't dc
to allow the lives of people to be thus
leopardized because some people fancy
that every one must give way to them on
the road. 1t won't do to allow this man
to go unpunished because the man be
MANNED is poor and old and friendless.
He had no friends to insist that justice
be done him and he owes the care he is
now receiving to charity. But can Man.
itowoc county allow this deed to go IN
punished2 The county board viii sus-
tain the offering of reward for the ap-
prehenslon of this person, and it should
be DONE He is unknown now, but Ger
tainly no such deed can be done in broad
day light on public highway and nc
clue left by which the perpetrator may
be discovered. Let a reward be offered
and the offender brought to justice.

FIRE ESCAPE.

Captain Louis Larson mas devoted his
spare time of this winter in preparing a
fire escape, the thing being suggested
by the Newhall fire. YESTERDAY after
noon he tasted the escape at the Williams
House. 1t is a regular rope ladder
drawn taut by means of lever which
acts through an eye-bolt fixed to the
sidewalk. Laterally, the ladder is kept
extended by iron bars, placed at regular
intervals, The ladder is eoiled on q
roller placed near the window and when
thrown out passes over roller on level
with the window sill. The apparatus 10
which it is attached is quite neat piece
of furniture.
This escape is nnquestionably one Of
the best. 1t is perfectly safe and car
be operated quickly. Mr.. Larson q as q
patent on it and will no doubt make
money from the sale the escape will com.

IT is singular that every charitable
enterprise has its origin outside of
church organizations. Our attention is
directed to this fact from an editorial in
The n. Y. Herald suggesting to minis
tiers that collections be taken up in the
different churches for the benefit of the
Ohio sufferers by the food. 1t seems
strange that a secular journal should
find it necessary to suggest any such
thing to clergymen whose duty it is to
develop charitable feelings in those
whose spiritual welfare they superintend.
But churches now praise the lord in a
style different from good works. A
little singing, good deal of doctrine
and mechanical praying constitute the
essence of modern piety. Respectable
ity, not charity, has become the corner
stone of religion,

LAST Sunday, in times gops by. is said
to have been festival and the customs
to which it was sacred should give per-
petuity to the day. 1t was known as
Mothering Sunday, a day when it was
the custom to pay homage and respect to
the old mother at the old home. around
which clustered the fondest recollections.
1t must have been day devoted to feel
ing more holy and enrolling them
Thanksgiving brings forth. Because in
Thanksgiving there is always feeling of
self which keeps it from being entirely
divorced from the bustling, busy every
day life. But Mothering Sunday Was
solely designed to bring JOY to the moth
er whose life had been deprived of that
fountain of Joy which the presence of
her children is. 1t offers a guaranty to
her that although the duties of mature
life may seem to put check upon the
affection OF her children for her, still
it CLOVIS with all the old warmth. The
adult children turned to the eight of
home" on that day, bearing with them
some token of their love- The mother
was the person to whom homage was
paid. She was the lodestone who drew
the fragments of the family together and
made it again "one and indivisible =
She was the queen of the day-the old
mother Anticipated in dress and perhaps
uniformed in, at least needless of, modern
ideas of etiquette, but still the queen OF
the day.-assuming those pIafogatives
which derive their charter from maternal
love, and guided by the promptings OF
the heart rather than by the grammar OF
formal etiquette.
1t would be splendid thing to revive
MotEering Sunday. 1t would be de-
light TO the mother and blessing to the
child who needs often to recur to the
! simplicity and unselfsh affection of the
old time when love taught him duty. II
would be an anniversary SO lar above the
others as the person it honors, the mother,
is above ali other personages.
