BLACK SILKS !

Having had unusually large sales on
dress silks this season, we have been
obliged to recorder in quick succession.
We just received lot of the old reliable
brand Of French manufacture -"Antoine
Guinet's gros grains" These silks are
known throughout the civilized world IS
being one of the very best fabrics of their
kind in every respect, and when lady
makes up dress of these silks-which,
by the way, are fully warranted as to
wear-she knows exactly what to expect
of it. The trouble with these silks here
tofore was their high cost, but we have
now secured several grades at very reas-
enable prices, as you will see should you
examine the goods. au-12

The fires are making rapid Roadway
in the northern part of this county. This
is due to the "slashings" or abandoned
hemlock trees which have 80 dried up
that they burn readily. The wind on
Monday famed the flames into activity
and the smoke was so thick on the lake
in the vicinity of Two Creeks that breath
ing was attended with difficulties. 1t is
reported that five farmers in Two Greeks
were burned out. The woods are filed
with teams drawing water from the lake.
Northern Mishicott is also suffering from
fires.
The fires are drawing dangerously near
Two Rivers. On Monday the house and
barn of farmer in that town not far
from the city were burned. The central
and northern part of the state seems to
be mass of flames and the people are
in despair. All trains on the Chicago
and Northwestern north of Green Bay
have been suspended because of danger
of suffocation. The Corona passengers
from the north say the lake is so full of
smoke as to be extremely annoying.
The towns of Mishicott, Two Creeks and
Two Rivers are in great danger because
of fallen timber and swamps full of
vegetable matter which when dry, feed
the flames and arenot easily extinguished.
The winds of the last few days have been
westerly and extremely dry. Unless
rains come soon the horrors of 1871 will
be repeated with greater destruction of
property, as the dry season that year did
not set in until quite late in the year.

born in Covington, Genesoe Co. n. Y,
in 1921. He afterwards removed with
his parents to Michigan and came to
Manitowoc in 1852. Here he engaged
in the mercantile business in which he
continued in different lines until few
years ago when he moved on the farm.
He was very active man, never allow
ing himself to take any rest and refusing
to yield to the growing weakness of years.
He was always conscientious man and
always spoke in the kindliest spirit of
every one, refusing to use harsh Ian
guage toward those who assailed him.

G. F. RANDOLPH, for several years a
resident of this city, died at Chicago on
Sunday last of apoplexy. He was eighty
years of age. In the early days of the
city of Chicago Mr.. Randolph was one
of the foremost and was at one time
quite wealthy. Randolph street was
named for him.

On Sunday next, game restrictions will
come to an end for the year. A number
Of our local sportsmen will begin the
season on that day at the Grips" The
wild rice which grows abundantly at this
place makes it favorite resort for ducks
and other waterfowl. The Grips" is a
singularly lonesome place, though in the
midst of we'll cultivated farms. The
Manitowoc River is very wide in that
section and it gives one the impression
that it has come from shadowy land.
This section seems to be land of silence
and the note Of the mud hen breaks upon
the stiffness only to make it more marked.
There is something peculiar about
southern Rockland anyway, as it is the
most picturesque part of our county so is
it ths least known. It is a kind of
dreamy place as if the tabled lotus had
impregnated the air and charmed the
visitor. The Grips" is not what it used
to be in the way Of game. Of late years
hunters have been too numerous and the
ducks have sought places not 30 easy of

LARGE SALES In DULL TIMES

LARGE SALES In DULL TIMES.
Our reporter was surprised to learn
from a member of the Rand & Roemer
Hardware Co., that their spring trade
had been largely in excess of that of last
year-surprised because so much has
been heard in this vicinity about "dull
mes" largely accounted for by the low
prices paid for farm produce upon which
so much Of the trade of this city depends.
Further inquiry elected the fact that the
increased sales were not so much on &C
count of increased consumption, but
that the extremely low prices at which
goods had been sold was the inducement
to purchase. To illustrate this a few
sample quotations are given, and any
one at all acquainted with the trade will
readily see that they are 'saway down."
Nails, per keg, $2.15 rates.
Boiled Linseed Oil per gal. 80
ST. Louis Lead Sc 100 CTS
Steel ShoVels, each As
Field and Garden Hoes .25
Three tined Hay Forks .25
The above are prices for first class
goods-no seconds and our reporter
was assured that all other articles of their
immense stock were offered at proportion
ately low prices. Such figures are bound
to make sales, and the Rand & Roemer
Harware Co., is prepared to meet all
demands for goods at those prices, and
shrewd buyers will avail themselves of
the opportunity.

A MAN from Eaton brought his three

A MAN from Eaton brought his three
sons to the city or Tuesday for the pur'
pose of sending them to the Insane Asy-
lum. They are young men aged 25, %
and Is, and are perfect specimens OF
physical manhood. The fathers name
is Kussing. The boys are really idiotie
and in no sense insane, so no order was
issued by the county court to have them
sent to Oshkosh. The boys are stubborn
and not easily controlled, and no doubt
cause their father considerable trouble.

He received notice of his fathers death
and had just time to reach the depot
before the train left, by riding at furious
rate. When he reached Manitowoc the
procession was on its way to the Gene
terry and he had to drive on run to
come mp with the procession before 1t
reached the cemetery. He was SO thor
oughly exhausted and affected that he
almost lost consciousness and ii took
some time to restore him.

Disastrous Wasl,out.

A dispatch from Augusta, Ga, under
date of September /, says:
No trains have arrived or departed from
or to Charleston or Columbia since last
night, in consequence Of heavy washou;s
in the ncighborhood of Langley. The dam
Of the immense pond ut that place was rent
in twain at the first shock last night, and
the large volume of water rushed out with
such velocity that the South Carolina Rail
way track was swept away for distance
of one mile. and the Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta track for considerable dis
lance also.
The train that left for Charleston at 1907
last night met with a terrible accident
where the track was washed away near
Langley. The breaking of Langley pond
caused the dam of the Bath pond to give
way also, by the overflow OF water from
ne former. These two immense ponds
/ eing emptied inundated the entire country
az lsaccnt, and washed away the South
Ce 1olina track at Horse Creek crossing,
wb fch caused the wreck at that point. The
trai was made up Of number Of freight
cars and three passenger coaches, and ran
INTO the washout at the above named point,

but his wounds are not necessarily fatal.
The third car from the engine was loaded
with hoi .seS. This car was completely dc
molished, killing some of the stock, While
Others escaped only slightly injured, and
were seen swimming about in every direc-
ton to gain safe landing place.

The Length Of Girls Arms.

''That explains theory of miEc, said q
middle-agcd man, as he directed attention
to q matron and her little four-ycar-old
daughter, who, hand in hand, were coming
down Wabash street.
The matron was quite stout, and found
some difficulty in reaching down to hold
the hand Of the little todGler The matron
was evidently in hurry. and she walked
along the street at an ordinary rate Of
speed. Her little daughter found it impos-
sible to keep up with the procession, and
ct regular intervals tripped and fell over,
or at least would have fallen but for the
Intervention of tie mother. She had the
child by the hand, and at every trip she
tightened her grip, and by main strength
ierkcd the child on her feet. The child's
left arm was being elongated.
Il have always heard" continued the
speaker, "that woman's left arm is longer
than her right; that her left shoulder is
higher than her right, and have been try
ing to solve the problem, or at least explain
it in some way. Seeing that woman drag
ging that little girl by her left arm explains
It ali. Mothers usually start out holding
their children's left hands. Why not boys
the same way? III explain that. Boys
can usually run as fast as a woman can
walk, even when they are little fellows,
and so don't have to be dragged. Little
girls trip and the dragging process begins"

II in the distance the shot was repeated.
There could be no mistake now, for the
signal was repeated at regular intervals
of ten minutes, which led us to the spot,
where we found the poor fellow trudging
along, tired and worn down with fatigue,
but in good spirits and entirely IN
harmed. His horse had gotten away
from him somehow, and left him alone
and afoot on the prairie. He immediate

darkness set in. He had been following

described until found by us. All the
relief parties came up III an hour or SO,
having been attracted to the spot by the
signal shots, which had served to bring
US to the same place. Mounting. the
orderly on his horse, brought along
especially for the purpose, we once more
turned in the direction Of camp, which
we reached just as the sun was coming

The iron and steel Trade.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1.-The American
Iron and Steel Association has completed
3 new directory of the iron and steel works
in the United States, showing the extent of
those industries now as compared with two
years ago. The number OF completed
rolling mills and steel works described in
the directory Tor 1884 was 434. with 4
building. but in the edition for 1886 only
4423 are described. with - building. The
slightly decreased number OF rolling mills
and steel works in 1886, notwithstanding
the great increase since 1884 in the erection
Of steel plants, is accounted for partly by
the fact that number Of rolling mills
which were built to roll iron rails have
been wholly abandoned, and partly by the
fact that the increasing use of steel rails
tends to diminish the demand for the
products Of iron rolling mills. The annual
capacity Of the rolling mills in finished iron
and steel is virtually the same now as in
1884. being 100000 net tons in 1884 and
1,5l3, zoe tons in 1886.

Naval Equipments.

Naval equipment costs vastly more
thal it did thirty years ago. In 1855
the Duke OF Wellington was the most
powerful ship in the British navy. The
cost of its cannon and warike stores did
not exceed $50, ,000 The Benbow, just
added to the British feet, IS armed with
cannon costing 100000. To fire one
charge from its ll0-ton gun costs $3.50,
while the charge fer the Wellington's
largest gun costs only S..
