AN HOUR OF TERROR.

dow a Quiet Boarder Caused Intense
Excitement in Hash-House.
When he had been there one week the
clearinghouse keeper said that he was
one of the incest quietest young men
she had ever had in her house. He had
no complaints to make at the table, and
he left his room so slick and clean that
the chambermaid had suspicious that he
was woman in disguise. At the end
of q month, rather than have him 90,
tho landlady would have agreed to pur-
chase porterhouse steak once a week,
and to replace the old rug in his room
with new one costing fifty cents. The
other night, however, her enthusiasm
received setback. One of the board
ers came down stairs and reported that
he had heard groans and signs and
curses from the quiet boarder' room.
Three or four people tip-toed up, and
after a bit they plainly caught his
words:
Couch! Hang it! Condemn it to Hall.
fax, but it's killing me by inches!"
Then it was realized that the quiet
man had some great sorrow on his
mind, and it was suspected that he was
contemplating suicide.
"Ooh!" he called out, ''great heavens,
but how | suffer! Why was | such a
fool as to follow that villains advice?"
He had probably taken poison, or was
trying to drive darning-needle to his
heart. The landlady thought of the
coroner's inquest, the item in the papers
and the questions the reporters would
ask, and she grew frantic.
"Hey, Smith - Mr.. Smith - you,
Smith, she called as she raped on
the door, "but what on earth is the
matterP"
"Nothing!' came the solemn answer,
but as she put her ear to the key-hole
she heard soft groans, and whispered
voice saying:
"It's got TO be done at any cost!'
''Mr. Smith" she confined, don't
you dare commit suicide in my house,
If you do I'll have you sent to jail for a
year! 1t wasn't six months ago that d
woman tried to poison herself to death
i'll that very room, and haven't got
over the fright yet Say, you!"
"Well, came the faint reply.
"Have you taken poisonP"
s'No."
There was an interval of silence while
she put her ear to the key-hole again,
and pretty soon she heard the boardeT
gallop up and down and hiss between
his clenched teeth:
"Great Scots but was mortal man
ever called upon to suffer as doP'
"Say ~ she whispered, as she turned
to the uoarders, this door has got to be
broken down without delay. That un

On Sunday night surprise party was
given at the Holzen farm in the town of
Manitowoc Rapids, about one mile north
of the gravel road. A man named Peter
Helzen from the city, brother of the
person in whose house the party was
given, brought some beer out and pro-
ceeded to take up collection from the
| people present for the beer. One of the
| crowd, Louis Petermichel, workman
employed by John Jarr, refused to pay
the assessment, 25c., and as he says, ex-
pressed his willingness to pay sc. for
each glass he drank. Some of the per-
sons present attempted to throw him out
and his face gives evidence of his being
roughly handled. He became inhamed
with passion aud Selling his knife, struck
at Peter Holzen, whom he insists had
| commenced the attack. Holzen was
| stabbed in four different places. One
| wound in the shoulder is a very serious
one, reaching almost to the lung. His
face was slashed to the bone, and he re-
ceived a wound in the breast and one in
the arm. Petermichel seemed to be
furious and was about to strike Holzen
after he fell when James Hall interfered.
Hall was struck on the breast with the
knife but the wound is not serious one.
He knocked Petermichel down and this
| ended the melee.
Petermichel was not to be found on
Monday. Conrad Meyer, who works at
kuehnes, ran across him in the country
on Monday, and telling him he had
warrant for his arrest, brought him to
town where he was formally put under
arrest. DR.. Frazer was called to attend
to the wounded man and found him quite
weak from loss of blood. He thinks that
with proper care he will recover.
Petermichel was taken before Mark
ham for examination, but the hearing
was adjourned until Saturday to await
the result of the wounds inflicted. Peter
michel is a man of medium stature,
stoopshouldered and apparently of an
irritable disposition. He has been in
this country only four years and is %
years of age. He says he was abused
| before he drew his knife and thrown
| headlong from the porch. Holzen's
| brother says that Peter did not strike
Petermichel at all. The latter insists he
| did,

arithmetic. In these subjects pupils
most frequently fail, and the stand
ing of the successful ones is lowest.
Anything of a mathematical nature re-
quires independence of thought, cioseness
of application and full understanding
OF successive steps. A person ''good in
mathematics" is apt to be "good" in
| other subjects; not that he takes to other
subjects more naturally, but the kind of
study which made it possible for him to
excel in mathematics is the very kind
needful for mastery of other subjects.
We cannot memorize mathematics and
If we attempt it our ignorance is easily ex-
posed. 1t is not asked that more atten-
ton be given to these subjects in school,
but moro attention to the manner in
which they are studied and taught-a
departure from everything which savors
of the machine method.
The attention of parents and of school
boards in particular, is earnestly called
to this Course of Instruction, introduced
for the purpose of making the instruc-
ton which pupils receive, valuable. The
purpose is to give children k7aoaoladQe
of the common school branches so that
they are fully conscious of having the
ability to use what they know. 1t mat
tiers not When the child quits school,
what he has learned up to that time is
available because he has been taught to
use it. The teachers are to be made to |
feel that they are required to teach so as
to secure these results, by the |
parent, the board and public opinion as
well as by the superintendent, so that the
responsibility is ever thrust upon them
from every side until it assumes the
character of a duty which can not be |
avoided. In two years these final exam
nations should be so we'll attended as to |
be beyond the ability of one man to con- |
duct. Such thing would not only
be full of promise of good to our schools,
but would be strong indication that eur |
most sanguine hopes were in process of |
realization. JOHN NAGLE,

Miss CATHARINE SIX was arrested in
Milwaukee this week for creating dis
turbance at the house of clergyman and
on examination was pronounced insane.
Many people in this city have noticed a
tall middle-aged woman who was on the
street great deal and generally on the
way to the post Office or to consult o
fortune teller; that was Miss Six. She
expected very important letter from
Switzerland which never came, but the
old woman she consulted led her to
believe it was coming. She was a woman
of considerable intelligence, taught
French in Milwaukee and was at one
time a resident of Cooperstown this
county. She had passion for the Even
ing Wisconsin and would read no other
paper. Every morning while in tie city
she dropped into The Pilot office to get
The Wisconsin. She entered noiselessly,
took the paper, and departed without a
word to anyone. She was under the i'm.
preston that her mail was tempered with
in Milwaukee and took occasional trips
to that place to straighten matters out.

The iron mines in the Gogebic Range
give SO much business to the railroad
company that its common stock is as
high as the preferred stock of older,
and by no means unimportant, roads.
The common stock is now worth Zoe.
and these places which voted aid are
paying up their indebtedness in large
measure by disposing of stock. This
cannot be done by the places which voted
aid at first, as the company went
through the hocus pocus of foreclosure
to cut their claims off, It could not we'll
do that second time and for COM
paratively small amount. The city of
Oshkosh voted $4,000 and thought the
stock would have nominal value merely.
Now it finds it can discharge $45, 900 of
the debt by means of the stock. That
argument was made in Manitowoc before
the county was bonded; but the tune was
soon changed.

The great contest which has for so
long time been foreshadowed in the
disposition of the property of Deacon
81. II. Smith, has finally begun. Two
lawyers from Michigan were here last
week, one acting for the heirs and the
other for the widow. The attorneys of
this city employed in the case are Nash
& Nash for the heirs and J. d. Markham
for Mrs. Smith. There seems to be
hardly prospect for settlement, though
overtures have been made, and it is now
reasonably certain that the matter will be
fought out in the courts. The probate
of the will is said to be minor consider
alton and that the real fight will be on
the transfer of property made to Mrs.
Smith by her husband during his life
time. The deacon's testamentary capac-
ity, and whether he was subject to any
undue influence in making the transfer
of his property, will be the main ques-
tons III issue.
Ed. Hamilton a grandson of the
Deacon is the person who is pushing the
contest. Mrs. Deacon Smith is at pres
ent in the city.
