A GOLD MINE.

Ii you need a stove, either Heating or
Cooking, where will you buy it? Buy it
OF the Wagner Hardware Co., which
are selling $4,000 worth of Bankrupt
Stoves which they have bought at almost
gift and will sell them at cost to make
things lively. Remember the Factory
which made these stoves has not failed
but is running in full blast and is one
of the largest stove factories in the world.
Every stove is warranted for one year.
We We're asked why we buy so many
stoves when we are selling out. We
must say that We take advantage of all
such snaps as we certainly can not get
left on them, if it takes ten years longer
to close out, and furthermore we can
afford to work for glory a while longer,
and whose benefit is it but our customers,

The tug Justice Field of Detroit made
the harbor a. noon yesterday and re-
ported that it's tow consisting of four
coal laden barges had been broken up
by the severe gale then prevailing.
Soon afterwards information reached
here from Kewaunee by telegraph that
two of the barges, the Dickinson and
Emerald, had foundered near there and
eight Of the thirteen men constituting
the crews had persisted. The two other
barges of the tow had ancored and were
safe at last accounts. This morning the
telegraph line is down and it is i'm
possible to obtain further information.
The cargo of coal on the Dickinson was
consigned to VIM. Rarhs' Sons and that
on the Emerald to the railroad company.
Both are of course lost The schooner
burlington, atanchor off Two Rivers, mar
rowly missed dragging ashore. Another

EDWARD MORGAN, Chicago engineer,

EDWARD MORGAN, Chicago engineer,
is engaged III preparing a map of this
city which shall show where water mains
and hydrants under the proposed system
of waterwOrks shall be located. When
the map is completed and approved by
the city council, bids for waterworks will
he called for on a basis of the require
ments of the map. This will give every
voter az opportunity to see just how
much protection against fire the system
promises him and the city council will
be able to determine the cost to a cent.
The plan will, it is thought, insure the
carrying of the proposition when sub
mitted to vote.

encroach upon the space usually devoted

THE CONSIDERATION OF ST.. BON
IFACE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Thanksgiving day will be fifty and APP
propriately celebrated this year by the
members of st. Boniface congregation,
| as on that day they will have their new
and elegant church consecrated to the
| worship of God.
The conservation rites will be perform
ed by his Grace Most Rev. NJ. Heiss the
venerable Archbishop of Milwaukee, as
sisted by about 80 priests, and the cere-
monies will be of most solemn and i'm
posing character, and but seldom witness
ed in this part of the country, as the
rules of the Catholic church do not allow
the conservation of church unless it Ii
built of solid stone or brick, and uneH
numbered.
Large delegations of societies of the
Catholic Knights of Wisconsin, and Of
societies affiliated with the German Cen
trail Verein are invited and expected from
all the neighboring cities, and the as
semblage promises to be the largest and
most imposing ever witnessed in Mani
towoc.
Special cards of invitation will be sent
to all prominent citizens and those re-
ceiving such cards will be provided with
seats, on presenting the cards to the
ushers at the door.
The purely ecclesiastical part of the
ceremonies will begin at clock A. NJ,
but the church will not be opened for
entrance until about 10 o'clock.
The church is one of the finest in the
state, and in its interior decoration it is
unsurpassed.
Next week we will give a particular
description of the church from data de-
rived from a personal inspection of the
structure.
To avoid any Misunderstanding or mis-
construction, it is announced that en-
trance to the church on Thanksgiving
day during conservation ceremonies, as
on all other occasions, is free. Ali are
cordially invited to be present. ~

Is SHE BLDING ?


Is she hldlng where eternal summer smiles
upon the seas,
And the snowy orange hlOs3 sons ever fake
the shelly strand
Is she bidng, Is she hiding where the tender
troplc breeze
Tells the story OF his woolug4 to the billows
on the sand
Somewhere, somewhere, know not where,
Upon the land or sea
Somewhere, somewhere, all pure ana fair,
My love abides ior me,
Is she bidng mid the clover blooms upon the
purple hills,
Where the mellow bees are hummlng and
the apple blossoms float?
Is SHE blding, Is she biding where the broOklet
leaps and trills,
And does she bind the daisies in q posy lOF
her throNti
Somewhere, somewhere, know not where,
My love and shall meet
For there's IA Fate through foul and fair
That guides my wayward feet,
Is she bidlng where the starlight CLEAN, upon
the frozen gloom,
And family sings the carols that awake the
drowsy morn?
Is she biding, Is she blding whore the roses
never bloom,
And the poppies nevor wave their crimson
banner through the corn
She bides somewhere, ! know not where,
But surely this know;
Twill always seem ike summer there,
