arrival of chases. The publication day
is to be Wednesday in the future. There
never was a local paper established with
a larger advertising patronage than the

proves that ManItowoc business men are
alive to the Importance of advertising
when the medium is satisfactory. Mr.

which contained $50 and some rare old

while she went elsewhere. One of the
peddlers was sitting on the bed and while
there lighted his pipe, apparently taking
a match from rear pocket. The pocket
book with its contents had vanished.
PolIfka came to the city to get warrant
for the arrest of the peddIers, but when
he learned of the difficulty of conviction
he concluded not to begin proceedings.

Why the First Minnesota Infantry WIN
Have Monument at Gettysburg
A Charge Most Wonderful in A
Its Daring. ~

The state of Minnesota, through
board of commissioners authorized by
the legislature, has erected a monu-
ment on the battlefield of Gettysburg
to commemorate the deeds of the First
infantry, to be dedicated in the early
part of October.
There have been wonderful charges
in the great battles of the world,
charges that still thrill the soldiers of
the nations, charges that through
succeeding generations have won, and
still shall win, the admiring recogni-
ton Of the tactician, the noblest lines
Of the historian, the rich and splendid
imagery of the poet.
Yet from the loins of this young
commonwealth, writes W. S. HARDWOOD
in Harper's Weekly, sprang regi-
ment of men who made a charge more
wonderful il it's daring, more terrible
in it's results more rich in it's legacy
of loyalty, than any that preceded it
the most heroic charge of history.
The hot July sun was zenith high
upon the field of Gettysburg that dire
