MEME.

Now that the holidays are over, and
matters are again falling into their old
channels, we take up our pen to chronicle
some of the more important events of the
holiday period.
Joseph Peppard and Mary Egan who
are attending the Oshkosh Normal
School, spent vacation at home; we think
it would be good thing for our schools,
if more would follow the example of
those two in taking course at the
Normal School.
Engineer Hayes and family, and Bat
Gray, visited friends here during the
holidays.
The recent storms have succeeded in
blocking the roads to such an extent that
shoveling has become necessary in some
places.
In the opinions of some of the people
of the Home Insurance Company, matters
are being carried on in high-handed
way. If reports be true a rigid investiga-
ton ought to be made. The company
has already shown itself to be blessing
to the people, and hence, its reputation
ought to be carefully guarded.
School Hill seems to be the battle
ground Of Meme. We know not what
rules govern the battle, but Judging from
the faces that return, they must be very
severe.
Jim Ryan whose reputation as neat
and rapid beef butcher is widespread, has
now completed his circuit for this season.
From the time that he seals the "critter's'
eye with tobacco spit, prior to striking
the fatal blow" until the 'oozel" is yanked
out, silence reigns supreme. The SEEM
ingly critical part of the work then being
over Jim will again become sociable and
converse with the attendants on the
leading topics of the day.
Luke Burnes whose veracity in matters
of small Importance is often questioned
by the boys, describes an event which
happened last week, and which reminds
the hearers of war times. He says that
one night last week one of his horses was
taken from his barn and ridden all night,
and let home in the morning stripped of
bride and saddle.
There was very large attendance at
the ball at Michael Heirs hall, Dec. 26th
Those who were there seem to feel that
they got the worth of their money. Not
withstanding the fact that Jim Sullivan,
doesn't attend dances so frequently as in
days gone by, yet he trips the light
fantastic as well as might be expected.
A few noticeable features of his dancing
90 to show that he has not kept quite
abreast with the times. Firstly, he still
clings to the old collar and elbow style
of swinging on the corner. Secondly, he
has to frequently consult the caller as to
the course to be pursued. Thirdly, he
fails outright in an attempt to cut the
figure eight. Fourthly, he sometimes
mistakes the "plain round" waltz for d.
gallop. However he deserves credit for
maintaining his temper amid all these
difficulties. sc.

The initial concert and entertainment given by
the St. Boniface Social Club in the new hall over
St Boniface School on Monday night was de-
cided success, both financially and in artistic
point of view. and considering the short time de-
voted to practice, compared very fayorably with
nanyprofessional performances given in this city.
The stage was very tastefully arranged, the
background being draped with curtains with
two national flags crossed, and having fine por-
trait of Washington between. The wings were
formed with sliding curtains and large dividing
curtain acted in place of the usual drop curtain.
The large hall was nearly filed, fully four hun
dred persons being present, and though the
weather was cold the room was comfortably warm.
The opening piece was finely rendered by Prof
Bieling at the piano assisted by Messrs. Eberle,
Kettenhofen and Urban.
Next followed recitation by Miss Constance
Roetfs, and to those who understood German it
was rare treat as she is a fine elocutionist.
Mr.. Ben. OConnor made his first public APP
pearance in bass solo. He has rich bass voice
with considerable power and much expression,
| and was warmly applauded
The quartette by Mrs. II. Nelson, Miss Peil and
Messrs. O'Connor and Kettenhofen showed much
cultivation and was well received.
As is always the case, the German chorus was
full and well rendered.
Although suffering from a severe cold, Miss
Rose Conway rendered the soprano solo assigned
to her, playing her own accompaniment Her
voice is rich and clear and her playing was in
fine taste.
Miss Linnie Conway rendered the Battle of
Fontenoy" with the power and pathos of cul-
tured elocutonist and was warmly applauded
The either solo by Miss Serena Greve seemed a
marvel of harmony and was SO loudly encored
that she was compelled to return and give repe-
tition.
The grand chorus by the club was a fitting close
to what went before and under the direction of
Mrs. H. Nelson showed careful training and per-
feet time. The Club has many members with
fine musical taste and good voices. The chorus
was decided success.
But without disparaging the rest, the GROWING
pleasure of the evening was in the tableaux. We
understand these were gotten up under the direc-
ton of Mrs. M. II. Murphy, and her artistic taste
was fully seen in the conception and arrange
ment of the figures; all were fine but especially
beautiful was The Nativity" which elected long
and continued applause. *x<

THE WAGNER HARDWARE CO.,
Got Their honev-

Mention was made in a recent issue of the
Times of the fact that Jim Baker and Sam No
Arthur had drawn $4,000 in Tho Louisiana State
Lottery. Last Thursday the money was received
through the Missoula National Bank, and turned
over to the lucky holders of tie ticket. The boys
did not know but that there might he a mistake
somewhere, and were naturally restless until tbs
money came and was placed to their credit in the
bank. The Louisiana State Lottery has stood the
test OF years. and is just as solid and reliable as
any concern in the country. We believe the draw
lngs are absolutely fair and that the lottery is
conducted as honestly and equitably as any other
business. We are informed that three or four
other minor prizes were secured by Missoula par
ties at the last drawing. Another tenth of the
capital prize of S150,000 was drawn by William
Poad Of the town of Anaconda, in the adjoining
county of Deer Lodge and was collected through
the Omaha National Bank of Omaha Nebraska
Messrs. Baker and Macarthur have secured a
snug little sum. and by carefully investing their
stake, the should be able to keep the wolf from
the door during the balance of their lives-MiS-

A MEETING of lake vessel owners was
held at Cleveland lately and they agreed
to urge upon congress the need of con-
structing 100 additional lighthouses. 1t
was also agreed that an appropriation be
made to arm the merchant marine of the
lakes and make it subject to the call of
the Secretary of the Navy in case of a
war. The vessel owners would receive a
light compensation from the government
for keeping their vessels on a war footing.

JUST about New Years each year, a
number of old settlers, regular hard shell
republicans, among them J. E. Plat and
Michael Fellows, call at The Pilot Office
and invariably renew their subscription.
These men were members of the repub-
ican party when it was at it's best and
their depth of conviction had abundant
ground for firm root. In local politics
they have iberalized, but their love for
the old party has still the strength of
youth and the confidence of early
deYotion.

DURING Saturdays blizzard a gentle
man drove up to the depot to await the
arrival of a train for friends coming
He noticed a couple of German ladies,
evidently strangers, crossing the street
from Bahr's and looking somewhat per-
picked and mystifed. They looked anx-
iously about and then retraced their
steps and held hurried consultation,
after which they crossed the street
diagonally and assembled the depot plat
form. The look of uncertainty had
deepened into anxiety. They peered into
the kitchen, entered the coal shed and
then carefully scanned the track but
nothing came within their line of vision
to relieve the evident distresss under
which they labored. They were about to
retrace their steps in seeming despair of
finding what they sought, when they
noticed the gentleman referred to, who
was curious observer of their search.
To him one of them put the query: "Ist
hier das depot? and then as if the sur
roundings furnished an answer to her
question which made inquiry wholly I'M
necessary, put in an apologetic zach mop
and started in search of the depot in more
promising quarters. The gentleman
began to murder English, under the i'm
preston that bad English would pass for
classic German, In an attempt to inform
the ladies they were at the depot. His
gestures suggested the thought his Ian
guage failed to convey, and the women's
hasty steps city-ward were arrested.
"Wo dem? said one of them incredulous-
ly. Here, here; here ish depot" said the
gentleman with finger pressed against
the rear of the building. With awed
curiosity the women approached and with
arms akimbo viewed the structure, and
then with resigned Herr Got" sat on a
wheelbarrow and waited there until tho
train arrived.

A MEETING of the Business Mems
Association was held last night to take
steps to induce the Goodrich boats to
hail from this place. When all the cir
cumstances which make it proper for this
company to enter their boats as belong
ing to this place are considered, the action
OF the Association must be regarded as
timely.
a few of the facts which should press
themselves upon the attention of the
company In this matter may be par
ticularized as follows:
There is the kindhest feeling toward
the Goodrich Transportation Company
by the people of this city, manifested by
the large amount of freight shipped over
the line from this place.
The tug Arctic, which belongs t. the
company gets all its business at this
point and the bridges have been swung
for 1t greater number of times than for
all other craft combined
The Goodrich Transportation Company
has derived more benefit from the dre1g-
ing done in the river by the city at
large expense, than have all other trans
portation companies. Other things being
equal it should be willing to pay to
Manitowoc in taxes what it now pays to
Kenosha from which it derives no revenue.
There is no other point on the line ex-
cepting Milwaukee, perhaps, which gives
as much business to the line as does
this city.
ALI the repairs done on the company's
boats are done here and while this is
benefit to the city the fact that the work
is done here is proof that it is mutually
advantageous. Kenosha is wholly with
out claims.
The city has extended favors to the
company, not the least of which is the
vacation of the street on which its ware
house now stands. The business done
here by the Arctic is attended by con-
siderable local expense of which the COM
pany bears no proportionate share.
CThere is no attempt at coercion
on the part of the Association, and no
advantage is sought which may be pre-
judicial to the company. The only ques-
ton is whether the company in extending
favors should not recognize the place
from which it receives most favors and
which has ever been true to its interests.

THERE are many rumors afoat of pros
pective prosperity for Manitowoc and if
one-half be true the opening of spring
will usher in period of unusual business
activity. The talk OF new railroad is
again heard in the land and there is
feeling In the air that the Lake Shore &
Western is preparing to do something
which will be mutually beneficial, Then
the proposed running of line of steam
ers by the T. & P. NJ, adds to the roseate
hue which the future bears. Manitowoc
has been sleeping SO long that the awaken
ing must come soon and there are many
who believe it is at hand.
