The damage done by the spring fresh
ct ID this county this year is much great
er than the average. The banks border
/ ing the mill dam OF Bailey Pierce of
Manltowoc Rapids were washed away,
| flooding part Of his farm and washing
| off good portion of the surface. Some
! buildings were also carried off. Mr..
/ Pierce estimates the damage done him at
| $500. The dam at Klingholz mills in
/ the Rapids village was also broken en-
failing a loss of $500. A portion of
| Stephen Olson's dam. in Cato. was also
swept away, serious loss to Mr.. Olson,
and one that occurs almost every spring.
On Thursday last the dam at Clark's
Mills went out and swept away Mr..
Clark's saw mill. The bridge still hangs
but the abutments have gone and none
but foot passengers cross. The bridge
at Cato Falls is so badly damaged that
none but the ventursome dare to cross it.
1t is being repaired and viii soon be
passable. Some report the bridge at the
RIPS" gone but this is doubted. If it
be true there is not bridge on the
Manitowoc except those in the Rapids
Village and that at Murphy's Mill.
But the damage done is not limited to
the Manitowoc River. The bridge over
the Mishicott near the Tannery is out.
This bridge stood fully 90 feet above the
water but the ice cut the piles and the
bridge went. The bridge near Wurster's
over the same river was also swept away.
This was on an unfrequented road and
the bridge being out will save many peo-
pie from taking road they would wish
they hadn't" The bridge at Kings
Bridge, the joint property of three towns,
is badly damaged. The dam az Deacons
Mills over the Neshoto in Gibson, which
also served as bridge, is gone. No per-
son ever crossed that dam who knew how
he got there nor what road he took to
get away from there and no one will miss
the dam or the bridge as there is not
man living who can tell where the things
were. The dam at Mishicott was injured
somewhat. The bridge over the Mishi-
colt at Cooperstown, in the most picture
sque portion OF the county, near where
DR.. Schallern holds forth, has taken
trip down stream. Never before was
there such destruction of bridges and
dams.

WHAT KIND OF TEA TO Use.

That depends on the persons taste
Some prefer Green, some Japan and 9th
ers Black. Black tea is generally con-
sidered the healthiest, although uncolor-
ed Japan is not injurious, and is mostly
used in our section.
Green "Pingsneys" are stylish and
highly colored, and unfit to drink. Tea
Dust" Is used but little, and would not
recommend 1t. At the low prices of tea
now, 1t Is not necessary for customers to
buy poor and low grades. We carry a
full line OF good teas, which we are Of
fering at low prices and should be pleas
ed to receive your orders.

DEWDROPS.
OPERA HOUSE, MONDAY NIGHT.

OPERA HOUSE, MONDAY NIGHT.
The performance Of "Dewdrops" last
evening at the Grand Opera House, with
Miss Lilah Stuart appearing as Dew
drops" was most suspicious one, and
the pretty and clever little artistic, whose
talent and personal magnetism have made
her one of the most popular actresses in
this country, scored another hit. Des-
pite the pouring rain the theatre was
crowded; but the constant ripples of
merriment which rang out and swelled
into roars OF laughter at intervals showed
that the audience was well rewarded bv
liberal doses OF delightful fun.
Miss Stuart was at her best last even
ing, and alternate tears and laughter
among the audience showed her power to
sway them by her excellent acting aud
attractive personality. She is one Of the
most versatile OF artists and her versatiI
1ty seems greater at every appearance.
In 'Dewdrops" she has an excellent
medium for her peculiar gifts, and her
supporting company is good all around =

FoR some time Sheriff Bolen has been
suspicious that Lucas was putting some
plan into execution to escape from the
jail. On Saturday night he was satisfied
thatLucas was working passage through
the ceiling OF cell which is unoccupied,
and into room occupied by a young
man named Taugher, clerk in one OF
the city stores. The floor was carefully
cut through by means Of an anger, so
that the piece would yield to a very light
pressure. The parties working became
conscious of the sheriff's presence just
when they were ready to make their exit
from the jail.
The following morning two auger bits,
cold chisel and an ordinary chisel were
found. The last mentioned had the bevel
edge broken off from being used in pry-
ing. 1t was found that the rivets in the
iron grating of one OF the windows were
cut off and false ones inserted.
Lucas was not alone in his work this
time. How the prisoners managed to
get possession Of the tools is mystery,
as great deal OF caution is used when
ever any one is admitted to the jail
There won't be much OF the building left
when Lucas term has expired.

GROCERY SEEDS.
THEIR UNRELIA8ILITY.

THEIR UNRELIABILITY.
1t is impossible to grow vegetables of
good quality without first obtaining reli-
able seeds.
Nothing causes greater annoyance than
worthless seeds. No one can appreciate
the value of reliable garden seeds better
than those who have once been disap-
pointed. And yet we see those who eX-
hibit sound sense in most affairs OF life
purchasing seed from questionable
sources, and congratulating themselves
Gor the momenO on having saved a
penny.
The following report which was pub
lished in the Rural New Yorker of tests
made by Prof. w. j. Beal, of the Michi-
gan Agricultural College, shows that the
seeds sent out by Commission Seedsmen
are becoming as great a plague as were
the grasshoppers some years ago. He
purchased the seed of four of the leading
Commission Seedsmen their names of
course we withold,) and planted fifty
seeds from each OF nine varieties under
the most favorable circumstances. By
actual count only twenty-three per cent.
Of the first grew; the second, thirty-seven
per cent. grew; the third, forty-seven per
cent. and the fourth, forty-nine per cent.
At every corner grocery we find these
seeds.
They may be fresh, but the chances
are the same seeds have been offered year
after year under similar circumstances.
Whenever you obtain your seeds, do not
purchase those placed on commission put
up in fancy colored papers, the paper be-
ing worth more than its contents.

a LITTLE romance in connection with a
son of Jonas Mock, until recently pro-
prletor of a store at this place, has just
come to light. The son left home some
years ago and went west. His money
was soon exhausted and he found it diff
cult to get employment. Being good
musician he taught music lessons and
| soon became a composer and amused a
fortune. All this time his parents never
heard of him until last winter, when
another son, who went on business to
FLORIDA, came across his long lost brother,
but who had become lannon's.
