The entertainment at Maple Grove will

stated in last weeks issue of The Pilot.
The meeting of the Cato Literary So

The following officers were nominated
at the caucus held in Maple Grove last
Saturday: W. c. Maertz, Chairman: w.

A. Sohrweide, Assessor. Mr.. Nolan and

Conrad jacket disposed OF his property
by auction to good advantage last week.
Bartly Morris of Centeryllle was about
to begin seeding on Monday but the cold
wave nipped the project IN the bud.
Charles Hall has put in refrigerator
at the Goodrich depot and will furnish
milk through the season to the Goodrich
Co.
The Weather Bureau will begin to
issue crop reports the second week In
April. These reports were discontinued
during the winter season.
From present appearances there will
be no planting done ID this county until
after the first week 10 April. Some grain
had been sown in Maple Grove before
the rain which set in on the 18th. Con-
siderable planting had been done IN
Oconto where the soil is sandy.
The blizzard in Wyoming, the tail of
which reached us on Saturday last, ragged
for 10 hours and was one of the most Sc
we're known in that region. Snow drifted
from ten to twenty feet deep. The loss
on range stock is estimated to be fully
one-half. One herd of stock which had
been fed all winter lost 20 per cent. of It's
number.
The cold wave has proved rninous to
fruit crops. Reports from Michigan are
to the effect that fruit ralsers have suffer
ed Immensely from the extreme cold.
Peach bads were we'll advanced owing to
the warm weather prevailing during the
early part of the month. Now they are
black and withered. The cold wave was
very extensive and invaded the orange
orchards of the south. 1t was ten de-
grees below zero 10 portions of Illinois,
| Missouri and Iowa.
The cold wave has played havoc with
the fruit crop 10 the south. The largest
peach growers in Georgia say that 80
per cent. of tn, fruit crop in that state
has been killed. The melon crop in that
state is wholly destroyed. The apple
crop in Indiana is ruined. The peach
crop seems to have been destroyed every
where. The tobacco crop in Kentucky
has suffered great deal and strawber
ries in Illinois are very nearly wiped out
There seems to be no section IN the Unit
ed States which has suffered less thar

The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1894-03-29

The papers of the country should unite
in a protest against the reported pro-
gramme of the United States senate to
spend couple of months debating the
Wilson bill. There is as much probable
ity of this windy argument affecting a
vote or causing single person in the
country to change his opinion on the
tariff as there is of country debating
society's producing the same result.
In the early days of California a negro
servant of sea captain was murdered
and the assassin was captured red-hand-
ed. There being no doubt of his guilt
the captain proceeded with arrangements
for his execution. But trial was de-
manded. This the captain readily grant
ed but proceeded with the execution
pending the trial. Justice being melted
out he did not care how much time was
spent in formally ascertaining a fact
which vas notorious.
The senate needs a little of the COM
mon sense of this captain. The country
doesn't care farthing how much vapid
oratory there is. if it occasions no delay.
The people want prompt settlement of
this question and should demand it in
manner which will leave no doubt as to
their earnestness. Every senator who
postpones final action on this important
question by Indulging in speech making
should be marked. We have had enough
of nonsense.

JUDGE CHETLAIN who stepped IN at the
eleventh bonr and saved Prendergast's
neck from the halter, has demonstrated
bis fitness for the United States senate.
The plea now is that Prendergast though
sane when he murdered Mayor Harrison,
very conveniently became insane when
the day for the execution OF sentence
drew near. Here is a new means OF es-
cape open to murderers. II they fail to
prove insanity at the time of the commits
sion of their crime they are privileged to
90 insane the DAY preceding that set for
their punishment and secure all the &C.
vantages which enure to insanity. 1t is
not at all surprising that Lynch law
should be on the increase.
