Engagement bracelets.

AHOOveNent b3Ncetct8s
The engagement bracelets find favor
with schoolgirls and eollegiates of
sentimental inclination. In the shops
they are attractively set forth with tiny
pieces of true-blue ribbon, to which
the key is attached. When the young
man puts the jewel on his fair lady's
wrist he locks the clasp and puts the
key in his pocket or loses it, in all
probability. just when the chain or
carved band is unfastened fashion does
not state, but the match is not de-
clared off until the lock is turned.
Like the wedding ring, the bracelet is
. safeguard, inasmnch as it shows the
next fellow the lay of the land. Prices
range from $14 to $25, and designs are
offered in gold and platinum chains,
plain and Etruscan gold variously
treated in carving, enameling, and fill

Milman, the historian and poet, was
possessed of an eccentric mind and the
determination to indulge its vagariea.
1t is said that she used to carry VOL
ume of sermons to church, in order to
read them during the less-sat;sfactory
discourse of her own pastor, a habit
which could scarcely have added to the
self-possession Of the speake.:::.
Like most assertive people, she did
stand in awe of one person-her old
gardener, One day he was pruning
the peach trees in the garden, when his
mistress called:
"Oh, don't. cut that, Saunders! I
want to see those blossoms, and I shall
never see them another year."
"Must come off, my lady" said
Saunders, inexorably, as he sheared
away the branch, and his mistress con-
tented herself with grumbling: HE
never will let me have my way!"
Lady Milman's plain speaking was
sometimes hard to bear*ith eqnanim-
ity. A neighbor once called to see
her, somewhat earlier in the day than
the conventional. hour for morning
visits.
Every glad to see you, my DEAR"
said her hostess, rising to meet her,
"but you must not do this sort of thing
again !"- Youths Companion.

e ILLICIT STILL CAPTURED.

Yesterday morning at o'clock Collec-
tor Murphy and Jerome Pierce set out
for Mishicott on hunt for moonshiner's
still. Solomon Douce is the party they
were after. He is a son-in-law of Mrs.
Scheur, who in the past figured so fire.
quently in United States courts because
of the manufacture of crooked whiskey.
Douce lives on the old place SO often
visited by revenue officers. When the
officers called on him he showed them
around and nothing could be found. An
examination of the cistern in the kitchen
showed slide running from the cistern
and lnclining downward. Murphy at
tempted tobogan slide on this incline,
but the aperture would not admit the
passage of his portly body. Jerome, then
lay on his back and went shooting down.
ward landing in false cellar under the
kitchen through which access could only
be gained from the cistern and by means
of this chute. There the officers found
the still. Now how to get the apparatus
out? Douce claimed he put it IL by
tearing down portion of the stone wall
and men were procured to get it out in
like fashion. He then explained that a
portion of the floor could be raised by
drawing some nails, and this was done
and the still demolished. Murphy is
having remarkable success in hunting
down illicit distiliers.

SMALLEY MANUFACTURING CO

A meeting of the stock holders of the
Smalley Manufacturing Co. was held on
Monday of this week at tie rooms of the
Business Mems Association. There was
a full attendance. The report of the
treasurer, G. f. Smalley, was presented.
He offered a number of Suggestions as to
future management the principal one be
ing the necessity of having an additional
capital of $4,000 SO that payment for
material and other expenses could be
made without awaiting the proceeds of
sales made on time.
Naturally, the condition of this institu-
ton interests the people OF this section
and evidence of growth is always received
with feelings of pleasure. The record of
sales for the three years last past give
ample proof of growing prosperity. The
sales for these years are as follows: 1885,
S39,9S2, As; 1886, $3.50, so: 1887, ST, 527,67.
The sales of 1887 could be increased fully
$4,000 could the company fill its orders.
1t will be seen that the sales for 1887 are
very nearly double what they were in
1885, and from the fact that ell orders
could not be filled it is evident that en-
largement and increased facilities would
not be dependent upon the distant future
for increased profits. The capital stock
is now S4O,S00 and in the two years the
Institution has been running as a stock
company, the surplus and undivided pro-
fits have reached the sum of S14,736, or
something over Is per cent. per annum
on the investment. This is a most re-
markable showing, far exceeding the ex-
pectatlons of the most sanguine.
1t was agreed to make two cash divi-
dents, of per cent. each for the years
1886 and 1887, and to issue scrip
of tie holder into stock.
On motion of John Schuette it was de-
clded to increase the stock to 100000,
the additional stock to be sold at par
Many of the stockholders insisted the
new issue should be sold at premium as
the business done the past two years
clearly showed the stock to be very valua-
bic. In the sale of the new issue, pre-
ference, as to purchasing, is to be given
the present stockholders. 1t is thought
there will be no necessity of soliciting
and the stock will be simply advertised
for sale. The business men say that not
share will seek purchasers outside the
city.
The new stock will probably be issued
as soon as matters pertaining to the CON-
pany as existing at present, and which
need adjustment before new stockholders
are admitted, are settled. With sufficient
capital to enlarge the business and dis
count bills the business of the company
will continue to increase even more rapid
ly than in the past.

UNDER SHERIFF KRUGER went to Mil
Nicholas Wickert on the complaint of
Mrs. Hermann of this city. Last May
Wickert received $500 from Mrs. Her.
mann to loan out. He gave her a note
bearing the name Of William Mueller of
the town of Cato to whom he said he
loaned the money. A few weeks ago
Mrs. Hermann heard that many of the
notes which Wickert gave to parties for
whom he loaned money, were forgeries
and upon making inquiries of Mueller
learned that he gave no note to Wickert
and did not receive any money from him.
Wickert was brought before Justice Hi
land of this city and pleaded guilty. The
penalty is from one year to seven In states
prison. It is thought Wickert entered
the plea of guilty SO that he could get his
sentence now from the county judge and
thus begin serving his sentence at once.
But it seems the county judge cannot
sentence for crime the punishment Of
which may exceed five years and the
prisoner must await the session of the
circuit court In June.
Wickert is a young man of good nat
ural ability but with a most consuming
appetite for liquor and all his troubles
come from this. 1t is said his forgeries
will run up to the thousands. His moth
er has before stood between him and
prosecution and this blow will prove a
heavy one to her. Wickert has & num-
Der of brothers who are hard working
and respectable. For a long time his
family labored to reform him but his APP
petite had complete mastery of him.

Horse Blankets whichare strong

TIE Evening Wisconsin says the Lee
high Valley Line has formed no alliance
with the Sault Ste Marie road to put on
two steamers to run between Gladstone
and Buffalo. The Lehigh company says
no such arrangements will be made until
Gladstone is something more than a pa
per town. The Pilot had its information
from a gentleman quite well informed on
projected movements OF that kind, and it
is evident from the cautious denial that
there's something in" the rumored con-
nection. But the fact that Gladstone is
a paper town should not deter the Le-
high Co. from turning an eye to the ad-
vantages Manitowoc has to offer for the
shipment of coal westward.

THE Ahnapee Record does not take
kindly to the suggestion that the people
of Kewaunee county bestir themselves to
secure them an extension of the Lake
Shore & Western and intimates it would
be wholly for the advantage of Mantle
voc and the railroad. Manitowoc does
not care flip whether the road is built
or not and certainly has no reason to ex-
pect, Judging from the past, that any
movement the road may contemplate In
cludes Manitowoc as in any sense bene-
iciary. The Pilot had an inkling that
the company was not so much opposed
to extending the line northward as it had
been, and supposed the people of that
section would naturally welcome this
change of feeling. The Lake Shore &
Western has always felt that branch
through these counties would not pay.
The owners of the road looked the matter
over years ago and concluded, not to let
the matter lie in allegiance, but to cease
to give consideration at all to it. So far
as Manitowoc is concerned it would
rather have a good wagon road to
Browns Corners.

The controversy as to General Sheri-
dams birth place, brings to mind the
claim OF a little ITishman named Patrick
Sheridan who taught school in this coun-
ty over 90 years ago. He was dapper
little fellow, loved whiskey, suffered
badly and had most irascible temper.
He claimed to be brother OF the Gen
eral and succeeded in convincing the
patrons of the schools in which he taught
OF the truth of the claim. He taught in
Maple Grove and Franklin and made
pretensions of being well up in mathe
matics. 1t seems the general had
brother named Patrick and it is possible
the little teacher was the man. He left
some years ago, giving out that he was
going to visit his distinguished brother.
