warrant the declaration that the Mani
towoc celebration will be one of the grand

Rankin Guards will merge their celebra-
ton with the general celebration during |
the forenoon and the parade will be one

Tor the evening have been already pur- |
chased at cost of $1,000, and an expert |

the present gives there will be 5000 per-
sous Ia the city, not residents, on July |
4th. Hotel keepers Will find it necessary |
to make preparations to accommodate at |
least 5000 additional guests.
The posters in colors will be out the |
latter part of this week. The programme
Will be issued few days later, and the
committees appointed will make arrange
ments for carrying 1t out successfully. |
The business men, with few exceptions,
are contributing literally. The smaller
business men are acting with particular
liberality. 1t will take money to carry
out the programme and money must be
raised and will be raised If the committee
must go to Kewaunee for it.
Let every person in the city invite his
country relatives to be present on this
occasion. 1t will be the event of life
time.
