FRANK IMMLER. formerly of Two Creeks
this county. is one of the chief promoters
of the Idea that the city of Milwaukee
should own the street railway. On Mon
day he and Editor Berger of Der Nor-
warts got into dispute on the details of
the plan. They came to blows and
Berger was whipped.
The steamer Sheboygan had some
portion of her walking beam broken on
Monday last about 10 miles south from
here. The break is something which
cannot be avoided with any degree of
care and may happen to any boat. 1t
will take some time to make the neces-
sary repairs and the boat will not get on
lis regular run before next week.
The new work called, Primary Ian
gu8ge Studies which f. r. Buchanan
has introduced 10 nearly all the schools
of Manitowoc county fill a long felt
want and are made expressly to enable
the teachers to do the work successfully.
They are so arranged as to teach the
principles of language and grammar,
without the use Of text books and in
much less time. The remaining schools
will be called upon soon.
GOTTLIEB SCHMIDT Of The Northwest
ern is the only Manitowoc editor who
carries a cane. His manner of carrying
it is peculiar. He tucks it under his arm
and 1t projects backward and upward at
an angle of ~ degrees. He evidently
expects danger to swOop down on him
from the rear and lnterpOses this weak
barrier. He says all truly good people
carry their canes in that way and is
utterly lnsensIble to the arguments of
The Pilot man who wants his cOntempo-
rary to carry his cane IN a more dudish
fashion.
ERNST WAGNER has disposed of his
business to a number of his employees.
The new firm is known as the ManitOwoc
Hardware Co. The members are +. Is
selman, {. kleselhorst, f. Barta and F.
kazellk. The matter was settled on
Monday and on the afternoon of that day
the large streamers announcing the
closing ont sale were taken down Mr.
Wagner retains no interest," in the new
concern and will do business elsewhere
within the near future. The firm will
conduct business at the old stand. All
have had some experience in the bard
ware business.
CHIEF Engineer Tweedy Of the Wis
consin Central was in the city yester-
day. He reports track laying com
pleted to within - miles of the city.
Evans x Richards completed their
work at the deep cut on Tuesday
The work was practically completed
two weeks ago, but there was some
trimming necessary. About 80 farm
ers teams are at work distributing ties
on the line from this city The high
structure near the first bridge in this
city is known as a Jim pole" 1t is a
temporary structure and it is to be
used in putting the bridge tower in
place. When this work is completed
the jim pole Will be removed.
LEMEN Bros. circus has grown from a
small beginning to quite big show.
They laid particular stress on good acting
and thslr success has come from strict
adherence to this rule. Their circus is
conducted on the line o. business which
is intended to be lasting. There is no
rowdylsm, nor are there fakirs or skin
games. Everything is conducted decent
ly.
The sidewalks were quite well filled
up some time before the procession start
ed out. The country cousin always en-
Joys circus and is ALWAYS on hand. The
procession was not particularly lengthy
but 1t had many good features.
i
The trapeze work was exceptionlv fine.
but the riding of little Edna is one of the
most marvellous feats of horsemanship
ever attempted in the ring. The back
somersault on bare back horse by a
child is startling enough feature, but is
by no means as exciting as the wild ride
on the vicious acting horse which went
around the ring at a furious gallop.
TIE G. a n. " has not signitied its
Of the ordinances lately
passed by the city council granting
that corporation certain privileges.
1t Is now reasonably certain that the
coal docks will not be constructed on
the lake front this year as the com
pany has repaired its old docks and is
now receiving coal there in large
quantities.
The probability is that the railroad
company will accept the conditions
mace by the city council. In that
event the slip VIII be constructed this
summer. This is desirable, almost as
much for the labor employed as for
the commercial possibilities it creates.
Mrs. Joseph Rankin of Winona, Mimi.
Mrs. Bates of Memphis and Mrs. Miller
of Chicago arrived in Manitowoc on
Tuesday evening. They came to cele-
brate the S7th birthday of their mother,
Mrs Fred Borcherdt. The old lady is
still vigorous and works daily among her
flower beds. 1t is a remarkable instance
of green old age and retention of facul-
ties. II is rarely she is denied the
pleasure of meeting her children on an
anniversary of her birth.
