EVERYONE was surprised at the size Of
the procession on Saturday last, and its
many excellent features were the more
striking because of the short time spent
in preparation. The display was largely
of an industrial character. A large num-
Der of the bushes houses displaying
their business in unique and decidedly
attractive manner. Ii was almost equal
to an exposition and received words of
praise from everyone who witnessed it.
Quite large number of persons were
in from the country but only few out
side the city joined in the procession.
The stars and stripes and the German
colors foated over majority of the
business and public houses.
Hubert Falge, Esq, was orator of the
day and delivered very appropriate
and scholarly address. The usual ball
was given in the evening but at this
point public interest ceases.

The poor wretched dwellers of tene-
ment houses in the city of New York
must stop the manufacture of cigars.
About 4, 1000 poor people, many vicious
and some diseased will be thrown out of
employment by the enforcement of the
law. The reason given is that contagious
diseases are spread by means of the
cigars manufactured in tenement houses.
Probably SO. Aud many people are killed
by canned meats, patent medicines,
adulterated wines, poisoned whiskey and
bad prescriptions. Why must the poor
dweller of the tenement house suspend
his labors for sanitary reasons while the
person who puts refuse up as canned
beef is allowed to deal out sickness
The poor tenement house man has no
friend in Legislative halls and he must
shut down business because his cigar
may transmit disease. 1t is right to
stop him, but the inhibition should go
farther.

FIRE AT MISHICOTT.

On Sunday evening the news reached
this place that a destructive fire had
ragged that afternoon in Mishicott, and
that half the village had been wiped
out. The fire it is said started in the
smoke house of L. Lavenhagan, and
the wind being quite fresh the flames
spread rapidly. The little hand engine
WIS manned but was entirely unequal
to the task of fighting fire of such
dimensions. A messenger was sent to
Two Rivers for the steamer. He made the
trip in % minutes, a distance of miles.
impressing fresh horses into service on
the way. The steamer made the trip in
so minutes, relays of fresh horses being
provided along the route.
The loss is estimated at from $4,000
to $4,000 with an insurance of $4,000.
The heaviest losers are lander and
Cratic and Lavenhagen, their loss reach
ing $4,000 each. Thirteen buildings
were destroyed.

AT a meeting of "The Industrial
Association of Manitowoc County" on
Monday evening, the committee on
subscriptions reported S2700 subscribed,
with good prospects of increasing that
amount to $4,000 i'll the city. The
capital stock was limited to $4,000, and
in shares of S25 each.
The chairman was instructed to send
subscription lists to the chairmen of
each town with the request to aid the
association in procuring subscriptions.
Mr.. Pierce was appointed committee
to make the necessary arrangements for
the fair grounds as far as the association
can go in the matter at present.

The growth of the receipts of the

The growth of the receipts of the
postal department since the government
took charge of the mails, in 1889, is
truly wonderful. The revenue for that
year was $37. 900, and there were only IS
offices and short routes. The rates were
25c. for letters to be Transmitted 500
miles, and the lowest rate Sc. for letters
going distance of 40 miles or less.
These rates remained practically the
same except some slight changes in 1916,
until 1845, when there was Be. rate
established for distances under 800 miles
and 10c. for longer distance. In 1851
the Sc. rate came into use for all dis
tances less than 5000 miles and 1Oc. for
a greater distance. In 1868 the Sc.
stamp was made general for all dis
tances.
Up to 1851 prepayment was not
required, and, indeed, the custom was
to let The recipient of the letter pay the
postage. After 1851 the charge was
DC. on letters on which postage was not
prepaid. 1t was not until 1916 that the
amount of postage depended upon
weight. Up to that time the increase in
postage depended upon the number of
pieces of paper. The rate was based
upon ''single piece of paper" and the
use of an envelope would double the
postage. On this account the sheet of
paper was so folded and sealed as to
make it serve for an envelope. Long
after the system of weighing came into
use, the letter was folded so as to bear
the superscription as well as the mes
sage. Those letters were curiosities to
the later generation when tie use of
envelopes became general. In those
old times the receipt of letter was an
important event, and the missive was
slowed away in "letter bag" whose
contents were eagerly scanned by the
older children when their ''schOoling"
enabled them to read the slowly written
and formal letter.
Letters were not short messages ii
those times. There was no note paper
and the sheet was large, large almost as
some of the newspapers. 1t was as
cheap to send large sheet as small
one and letter was family affair.
Reader, have you not wondered at the
custom still prevailing of several mem
bers of the same family writing some
thing in one and the same letter. It is
one of the last vestiges of the fashion of
the good old days. when letter was
load of news. and when girls didn't go
four times day to the post office.
Why are letters sent now occasionally
by friend? The mails are cheap and
expeditions. A little leaven of the old
habit when mail facilities were not what
they are now, and habit is second nature.
The early laws did not establish post
routes along steamboat and rail routes,
and when these new agencies came into
use, the private transmission of letters
promised to leave the post Office depart
ment without a vocation. But things
were changed to conform with the
progress of the times. The post Office
department now receives SAC, 10000
and gives out 1000, 100000 stamps.
Its receipts are more than its expendi
lures.

On Tuesday Sheriff Bibinger arrested
boy named Robert Runge who was
charged with stealing from the store of
Becker & Teitgen. He effected his
entrance through one of the back win
dows during the night. A number of
the articles missing were found in the
house in which Robert lived. He is
only IA years of age and will doubtless
be sent to the reform school.

LAST week Sheriff Bibinger went out
to Meeeme armed with a search warrant.
Complaint was made by an old lady who
had some trouble with her step children,
that they had stolen some notes and
certificates of deposit from her. The
sheriff made careful search bat could
find nothing. He finally proceeded to
search the old lady's trunk and there
found what she hf d charged we're stolen.
She had grown excited and failing to
find her treasure readily, jumped at the
conclusion that she was robbed, and
charged her relatives with doing it.

NOTWITHSTANDING the dimensions of
the row at Reedsville some time ago, not
single suit has resulted. This is largely
due to the advice of Mr.. James Noble,
the local justice who advised all who
came for warrant to settle the matter
without going into court. They took
his advice and the county has been saved
hundreds of dollars.

THE GERMAN CELEBRATION.

The celebration OF Saturday last re-
fiected great credit upon the Germans.
Not so much for the size and successful
management of the procession as for the
rare good sense in making the celebration
one OF American citizens. There was no
suggestion that the United States were
forgotten in the recollection of the father
land. It was America first in all the ap-
pointments and in all the sentiments.
Anton Vogt gave fit expression to the
sentiment which prevailed, by placing a
motto before his business place which
read. German by birth, an American in
heart. If all nationalities in their cele-
brations designed to commemorate some
event which concerns them as foreigners,
would show the same good sense the
erman-Americans did on Saturday last,
there would be far more harmony and
a great deal less of national prejudice.
Everywhere the stars and stripes went
up above the German colors. American
citizenship was honored as the thing
most deserving. There was not man
in the city drunk. Enthusiasm did not
run to extremes in that direction. There
was no disturbance although the celebra-
ton was general, and there was sufficient
respect shown for general opinion to
have the celebration on a week day. In
this particular the Germans of Milwau-
kee might learn q lesson from their coun-
trymen in Manitowoc. The Pilot doesn't
care for Sunday any more than any other
day. But there are people who do and
who look upon a public parade of that
kind as Dissertation of the Sabbath
The Germans left no room for complaint
in this particular. 1t was temperate,
a creditable and very successful affair.
