THERE should be tax of $40 levied on
every dog in the city, and the police
should be instructed to shoot every dog
not bearing tag. There is one brute on
Sixth street, white cur, whose boy own
ers set him on to ladies as they pass and
| he is now so we'll trained that he makes
it unpleasant for any one who goes by.
| The brute should be killed and the owner
arrested and fined.
| A DEAF and dumb man named Ed
| Neubar was killed on the railroad track
between Grimms and Reedsville on
Thursday morning last. The train was
rounding bend when he was discovered
on the track. The brakes were applied
but the train could not be stopped until
the unfortunate man was struck by the
pilot and thrown from the track, killing
him instantly.
On Thursday last lightning struck the
residence of Mr.. George Cooper of this
city. 1t ran down the chimney and
spread considerably when it reached the
lower rooms Considerable damage was
done in the dining room from which, for
tunately, Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper had just

servatory. Considerable damage was
done and the rooms were filled with
smoke.
EVERY lawyer in this city knew Marvin
II. Bovee, a brilliant man but something
of a crank on the matter of capital pun
ishment, and who died this week at his
home IN Whitewater. It was he who Sc
cured the abolition of capital punishment
in this state. He lectured against it in
almost every state and wrote books on
the subject. A few years ago he was a
requent visitor to Manitowoc.
WE are having quite rush in sales of
carpets and having all we can do to make
them up as fast as wanted, therefore
should you contemplate buying a carpet
and to have it sewed, and you should
favor us with your orders, we would ask
you to so arrange it, as to give us few
days time in which to sew it, if possible;
if not we shall do the very best we can.

ready been made and an Office has been
rented;-the room occupied by Mr.

THE appropriation bill passed by the
house this week and which is now before
the senate, provides for a survey of Cen
terville Creek with a view to determining
its availability as harbor. A survey
always precedes an appropriation for i'm
provement and the people of Centerville
have reason to congratulate themselves
that they have pushed matters to their
present status. The engineer in charge
OF Lake Michigan harbors favored the
survey.
SQUABBLEs in school districts are oc-
curing with too much frequency in this
county and largely because the annual
school meetings are not well attended.
The proper place to provide for the COM
ing school year is at the annual school
meeting and the attendance then should
be such that there is no question that the
proceedings reflect the wishes of the peo-
pie. There is nothing which works more
injury to school than the wars of fac
tons.

Company will appear at the Opera House

prima donna the best opportunity for ex-
hlbltlng her powers both as a singer and
| actress. Wherever she has appeared she
has had the most unqualified success.
