The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1893-06-01
REEDSVILLE.

Principal Morrissey of KEEL passed
through here on a visiting tour last week.
Walter Killen OF Cato sprained his
ankle about six weeks ago and he has
been going around On crutches ever since.
The morning train which formerly ar
rived here at 1923 now comes at 5:37.
These houre are not IS convenient as
formerly. Nail is received on that train
and post-masters along the route are
obliged to turn out quite early in conse-
quence.
The village board will consider the pro-
priety Of imposing dog ta1 at their next
meeting. This would seem to be an ex-
cellent plan. We have about as many
dogs here as people and any move that
| would result in Iessenlng their number
would be blessing to the village. But
it is said that If the tax be imposed own.
ers Of dogs will send them out among
the farmers to avoid paying it. 1t Is not
to be understood that every dog owner
will do this, however. Some of them have
too much regard for their brutes to en-
trust the care Of them to any one else
than themselves, as well as being too
law abiding to endeavor to escape the
laws requirements. Many of the village
board are owners Of dogs themselves,
nevertheless they are in favor Of the tax
while the marshal is great aonIrer OF
the canine tribe and generally has one or
two specimens about him, there is no dan
ger of his trying to evsde the tax.
Decoration Day Was fifty celebrated in
this village. The streets were gayly dec
Grated with flags and evergreen. Most
OF the business houses and many private
houses displayed the national emblem,
while IN number Of instances lines were
stretched the street from which we're eus-
pended bunting and wreaths inclosing
notices. The weather was as pleasant
rs could be desired and large crowd con-
gregated in the village In the early
morning the members OF the G.. A. r.
hereabouts went out TO the cemetery stu
ated about two miles from Reedsville
where the children OF Miss Winnie
Meany's school assisted them in decor
ating the graves. They were accompan-
led by the Reedsville band which furnish
ed the music for the occasion. Rev. Mr..
Ganike addressed the veterans and others
assembled there in manner appropriate
to the occasion. They then returned 10
the village, accompanied by the children
mentioned, who were joined on the wey
through the street by the children of the
two parochial and public schools of this
village. The children formed the head
Of the PROCESSION followed by the veter-
ans and band. In this manner they pro-
ceeded to the cemetery connected with
the Lutheran church where Rev. Mr..
Bremen addressed the crowd in German,
be being listened to attentivsly and Ge-
servedly 90. After the completion of the
ceremony here the procession was again
formed and proceeded in the same order
az before to the Catholic cemetery where
Nj. Whitman Jr of Manitowoc delivered
an Grafton in English which though brief
was exceedingly we'll suited to the occa-
sion. Its brievity was due to- Mr.. Witt
mans haste to get through before train
time, he wanting 10 return to ManItowoc.
After finishing at this last cemetery the
procession was again formed and pro-
ceeded to Mr.. Schulz hall. Here the
children, veterans and others enjoyed
repast. The celebration was as success
full as could be wished and, its being 30
is due in no small degree to Mr. Henry
Noble who e1erted himself untlringly
both before and during the celebration
to make it what it was. 1t is no more
than just to add that Rev Father Krae-
mer would have spoken on the occasio
at the Catholic cemetery but he was call
ed away and could not manage to be
present.
