The beach formation south of the har-
Dor piers is likely to be source of con-
tention. Forty years ago the shore line
was SO near Fifth street that the lots
lying east of that street were made to ex-
tend diagonally SO that they might have
some depth. Since the building Of the
harbor piers land has formed quite rapid
ly and now fully two blocks to the east
ward of what was the shore line have
formed. The question is to whom do
the accretions belong9 Is this property
the 'inearned increment" Of property
holders on the old beach? Does it be-
long to the government? Or is 1t city
property? The property has been of
little immediate value until quite recent
iy. Owing to the extention of the Lake
Shore & Westerns line to the lake front
this made land" has become valuable
and the question now is who has title to
it? The old beach lots are the property
of Mr.. Allen of New York and his claims
to the formation will materially increase
the value of his former property.

THERE should be some movement made
to induce congress to place the Manito-
voc harbor on the same level with those
of Chicago and Milwaukee. The pros
pects now bid fair that the harbor at this
place will rank with those of Chicago and
Milwaukee in commercial Importance.
OF course it is not hoped that it will be
their equal in the business done. But it
mental route and the business now initia-
ted is sure to grow. The Manitowoc har-
Dor will soon be completed" in the sense
of having expended upon it the original
a mount estimated by the engineers to
make it available for the business then in
prospect But this now trait, arrange
ment has changed conditions. The engi-
neers should be induced to revise their
estimate to suit present conditions. Other
wise the harbor will be declared improv-
ed and repairs will be left to the city. 1t
is quite important that something should
be done promptly. Manitowoc has cast
of its swaddling clothes and may ask for
the treatment due an adult city. 1t has
powerful friends now in the railroads
forming this through line and the city's
interests are their interests. But the city
should take the initiative in demanding
its due. A consideration of this matter
should not be postponed until it is too
late

ATTEMPTED MURDER.

On Tuesday of last week, man named
William Meyer, owner of a large Touring
mill In Kiel attempted to kill his wife.
For some months the husband and wife
have had considerable difficulty, owing
to the latters alleged intimacy with the
miller employed by Meyer. The mar
riage was an unhappy one to begin
with and though three children have
been born to them the relation
OF husband and wife have never
been pleasant. Mrs. Meyer was coDtemp-
lating commencing proceedings for a
divorce and with this in view frequently
consulted Henry Goerrs, a local alto
ney. Her husband forbade her consult
ing Goers but she paid no heed to him.
On Tuesday he purchased revolver
and in the afternoon went to his house and
fired upon the woman. The bullet struck
steel rib in the corset and glanced off.
The woman ran out doors, followed by
Meyer who fired a second shot which
fortunately missed her.
Mrs. Meyer then went to Cedarburg
where she has some relatives living who
advised her to come to Manitowoc and
make complaint against her husband.
She reached the city on Wednesday and
Justice Bach issued a warrant which he
placed in the hands of Sheriff Zeman
Meyer was brought to the city and gave
bonds for his appearance.
No attempt was made to arrest Meyer
until the arrival os the sheriff though he
freely acknowledged the attempt upon
the life of his wife. Even now he express
es no regret. The woman does not deny
the charge of intimacy, but it is said she
was forced to admit it through the
threats of her husband, Others say that
SO unpleasant was her married life and
50 anxious was she to be legally separa-
ted from her husband that she readily
admitted the charge hoping thereby to
facilitate the procuring of divorce.
Meyer waived examination and Justice
Bach held him to answer before the cir
cult court fixing his bond at $1,000 which
was promptly secured

IT'S A MIGHTY COLD DAY

In January when Pe-ru-na fails to keep
you warm. When the blustering blasts OF
Winter envelopes your body in their icy
embrace. and seem to freeze your very
marrow; when you shlver and shake with
the cold chills that creep over you and
pierce you to the very bone, then it is
that you will find, if you try that there
is nothing SO comfortably warming and
SO mildly invigorating as this same Pc
ru-na. Sending genial glow through
your chilled system, it will start your
blood a-coursing through your veins, put
new life and vigor into you, and make
you feel altogether like a new man. The
effect of Pe-ru-na in this respect is won
derful, and is manifested by no other
medicine. AS a Stomach Medicine and
Tonic it has no equal, and needs only to
be tried to prove It's efficiency. For record
of what Pe-ru-na can do for ills peculiar
to Ladies, send for DR.. Hartman's Ills

The first shipment over the new line
was on Saturday of last week. The
Steamer F. & P. NJ. No. / reached this
place on Friday morning. The event was
properly celebrated. For over thirty
years Manitowoc has been looking for
this consumation. For thirty years it
was matter of "hope deferred" but hope
was never abandoned. In the darkest
hours the people of the city chung to the
hope that the advantages which the city
offered would be recognized and that its
futre would justify the predictions of
prosperity. 1t seemed for years while we
were struggling for existence that Fate
was against us. The magnificent harbor
was simply thing OF beauty, and COM
merce, aside from what was simply local
Stunned it. The people willingly incur
red expense to keep it N condition to
invite traffic. Largely through local eff
fort the last few years the manufacturing
industries Of the place we're increased.
But progress seemed to be lacking In
momentum. We could not attract the
attention of the outside world and dis
couragement was about to lay its heavy
hand on those who were most hopeful.
But like rift in heavy Glands came the
announcement Tat through line wasin
contemplation-the long cherished wish
Of the city. Long accustomed to disap-
pointments and always the victim of de-
ception, the reluctance to believe the
clouds were breaking was natural. Slow
ly the conviction spread that the long
sought for opportunity had arrived.
When the people were satisfied that bust
ness was meant there was no longer any
hesitancy in doing everything necessary
to aid the enterprise.
When the F. & p. M. No. l, steamed
up the harbor on Friday last she was
greeted with cheers, booming of
cannon and a display of bunting. Her
own flags were flung to the breeze and the
docks were lined with an enthusiastic
crowd. A large quantity Of -four from
Minneapolis was awaiting shipment and
when the steamer left with her cargo on
Saturday the bridges were crowded with
people. Since then she has been running
steadily making round trip every two
days and having all the freight she can
handle.
The business now being done is simply
a suggestion of what it will be when the
line is properly advertised and when
shippers will perceive the facilities Offer
ed. The route covers less miles than any
other to the Atlantic seaboard, and soon
it will be a continuous one from ocean to
ocean. It will be known as the "Manito-
voc & Ludington Short Route" and will
be without doubt the favorite line for the
transportation of freight.
The Mil. L. S. & w. has it's tracks laid
to Main street and will soon reach the
lake front. Judging from the dockage it
is securing and the yard privileges on the
lake front it anticipates heavy business,
and the wish of every one is that the ex.
pectations may be realized.
