Ma. HEnpERr sHER1pAN commercial

Mr.. HERBERT SHERIDAN commercial
agent of the F. & P. NJ. was in the city on
Tuesday and called at The Pilot office.
MIR. Sheridan's headquarters are st Paul
but during a portion of this week he has
business IN this city In connection with
with the new through line. He says the
+. L P. III. management is delighted with
the arrangements entered into whereby
this through line is organized. The pur-
pose is to make it great line and to Sc
cure this his road will have agents for
territory which may be made tributary to
the line. Business will be solicited in
Canada. Ohio and the Northwest
z. f. Gaines will be destrict agent for
this section with headqUarte at Manito-
voc. He will be in the city this week.
The first shipment viii b made tomor-
row, Friday. Mr. Sheridan says that rates
from Manitowoc will be the same as from
Milwaukee, and that while he is not in
cllned to raise hopes that may be slowly
realized he sees no good reason why Man
ltowoc should not have prosperous fu-
ture through this connection. The route
is the shortest to the sea board. The
roads making up the combination are en-
terprising CORPORATIONS and control a
large amount OF business and no effort
will be spared to make the route popu-
lar one.
The business which the road does will
be constant advertisement of the city of
Manitowoc as its being a terminal lake
port makes it an important point on the
route. 1t will be known to business cir
cles and to people with capital to invest
who are looking up advantageous points.
The F. & P. NJ. has long desired this con-
nection and indeed the people of this city
nave long looked to this company to do |
to bring the city ont OF its OBJ
'curity. Now the long cherished hope is
'eallzed and Manitowoc has reason to re-
oice.

THE Russian influenza or netting
akin to it has been having quito Il run in
this city the past week. 1t begins with q
! pain IN the back, a febrile condition and q
cough which reaches from turret to
foundation stone. The editor OF this pa.
per came home from Madison on the Sat.
urday after Christmas thoroughly inocu.
lated with the virus, and he has been
spreading the thing ever since Walker
| was fool enough to spend few minutes
In the Pilot Office on New Years day and
has been sick ever since. Murphy rushed
IN where angels fear to tread and he is
now Hat on his back. Kirwan couldn't
avoid meeting and he is the sickest man
IN tbs state. Sandford couldn't be fright
ened ont of The Pilot Office and now he
has two doctors waiting upon him. 10
Villas of Kaukauna didn't know enough
to stay at home and he wasn't able to get
home after he had met the man of infec-
ton. Judge Baensch isn't down yet but
he has been in the way of infection and
his time is coming. Horace Rublee writes
all the way from Milwaukee that he is in
"the plight of the bad angels in Paradise,
lost, exhausted, spiritless. afflicted, fall
en-" but he doesn't suspect who placed
him In that interesting situation. Anton
Johnson isn't able to sneze and a few ba-
bles whose innocence should be their pro-
lection are down. Fred Hinrichs is tax

lescent. Ed. claims to be the original in
huenza man in the city, but is willing to
compromise by admitting that the high
toned fellows were first afflicted and that
the scrubs are now suffering
Apropos of this influenza: The only,

the original influenza man, ''you physi-

had three. When the thing gets fairly
working in Kirwan's family some physic-
ian will be busted"
1t is Lots OF fun for the fellow who is
over the trouble to watch the other suf-
ferers. There are about forty farmers
who have been inoculated in The Pilot
office within the last week and they will
help spread the thing. If Sandford could
only get it twice the epidemic would be
blessing. The whole Pilot force will be
down next week.

REMARKABLE NERVE.

The early history of America is full OF
instances of men having great nerve.
But we are rapidly becoming the most
nervous people on earth. The recent in
crease of insanity, epileptic fits, headache
backache, neuralgia, sieeplessDess, ner-
vousness, dyspepsia, fiuttering of the

Now that Manitowoc has become city
of commercial Importance, the govern
ment should adopt more liberal policy
with respect to its harbor. II is no long
or merely local harbor. 1t is part of
quire the city to keep it in proper condi-
ton as I. part of such route is manifestly
unjust. Congress should be requested
to act in some manner suited to the
changed circumstances. Some notifica-
ton should be given of the increased i'm
portance of the place and no doubt prop
er action will follow We must have
the harbor improved to its fullest capac-
ity.

WORK of laying the track from the
main line to the lake shore was begun en-
Tuesday of this week. A gang of thirty
men are employed. The Milwaukee Jour
nal is authority for the statement that
the line will be open this week, The
Osceola which is to be used bet ween this
place and Ludington is now at Milwau-
kee. A platform has been erected al the
railroad docks near the depot which will
be used until the line reaches the lake
shore. A rumor was afioat that forty
cars OF Hour from Minneapolis were en-
route for this point. This was the news
one week ago. The Osceola was also to
be here one week ago. But runners of
every kind are afoat ahd it is safext to
wait for actual occurrences before throw
ing up our hats.
1t seems that the the boats from Mil
waukee to Grand Haven, a part Of the T.
4 2. NJ. route will be changed d I.atiihy-
ton thus making that the prin pal route.
This line viii be used for ii, present
entirely for freight but later G. siforts viii
be made to have it popul : passenger
