The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1898-11-03

| The owners OF real estate along these
| streets have now q good thing IN pros
poet.
THE usual prsnks were played on Hal
lOwe'en. The most common was the
| dashinR OF pease and corn against the
| windows. J. d. Markham's heavy wag-
on was placed over one OF the outhouses
OF the north side school and the side
walk OF 0. w. Morse WAS torn up.
Ole Stephenson of Oslo was present in
spirit though absen: in body. He tele-
phoned that John HsIlor8n was needed
at the phone. Mr.. Halloran was sent for
and after hanging about the phone till
he grew impatient was told by Ole that
| 1t was Halloween.
FRANK STEWART, the democratic nom
inee for congress IN this district spoke IN
Two Rivers with Mr.. Nash last night.
| Mr.. Nash pronounces Mr.. Stewart'e
| speech the best he has heard fhIs fall
Mr.. Stewart is winning encomiums for
hIs addresses everywhere. He Is candid
fair and intelligent IN his discussion of
public questions.
In certain portions of the district it
has been reported that The Pilot Is not
supporting Mr.. Stewart, This is abso
| lutely without foundation. Mr.. Stewart
| Is clean, able man and deserves the
support of every democrat.
For years Manitowoc county has at
tanned distinction at the State University
through the Intellectual worth of her
students. Every year one or more OF our
students attract an unusual degree of at
tention in some line OF intellectual activity
oh -, - 90
| 1t usually bears with it the prediction
that this prominence cannot continue.
Last year when Mr.. VIM. SEEKER WAS
chosen a member OF the University de-
batting team all said the county is main
tanning its position. This year Mr.. SEEKER
has attained I'D additional honor. He
| has been appointed teacher of chemistry
| IN the University. An / onor such as this
| rarely comes to an under graduate. MIR
| SEEKER is a graduate Of the Third ward
| school and taught there for some years
One hears on every hand the question
| How will the county 60 in the coming
| election" The best that can be done
| is to forecast the result from facts as
they appear No ones Judgment is in
| fallible and every one ia liable to be de
celved even though he does his best to
get at the real situation. The estimate
| OF The Pilot Is from inquiries and obeer-
walton that this county will 60 democrat
ic by mt least 500 majority. The posi-
bllity for increase ls greater tnan for
diminution. Some OF the democratic
county nominees will have larger ma
jority than this; others less. But the
election of the democratic county ticket
seems assured,
This is the unprej udioed judgment of
The Pilot, based on such infor mation as
it could gather with honest purpose to
learn the exact condition. It may be in
error, but II 30 it comes from misinform-
alton and not miscalculation. The eli
min alton OF the money question, the
chief source Of danger to the democrats
has greatly strengthened the ticket. the
change in the cities of MGnitowoc and
Two Rivers will be sufficient to over
come the republican majority in 1896.
HALLOWEEN prsnks de9enerated in to
crlminality on Monday night. Fun is
all right, but when viciousness comes in
under the guise OF playfulness 1t ia time
the authorities SHOULD step in. There
we're dolngs on Monday night which
make the actors liable to term in states
prison and there certainly should be
some way whereby the guilty ones Gao
be brought 10 justice.
Destruction Of property is not fun. IL
| ls an indulgence OF vicious propensities
| and as such should receive the treatment
that crIminality deserves.
An old lady of the south side, Mrs.
Thiele, had her sidewalk torn up and the
boards broken. In the morning when
| che found the ruin wrought she burst
into tears. The windows in Pellshek' g
store we're smashed with stones, entail
ing considerable loss on him. Sidewalks
were torn up throughout the city Many
| OF the people who suffered damage are
going to hold the city responsible. The
proper thing for the city to do Is to ferret
out those responsible and prosecute
them. There is wide difference between
mischief and CRIMINAL proceeding and the
difference should be made clear
ONE OF the reprehensible escspsdes
was the placing Of wagon belonging to
Rahr's Sons on the railway track. 1t
was struck by switch engine but tortu
nately the engine was not deralIed and
thus possible loss of life avoided. This
is train wreoking and states prison Of
tense. 1t hardly seems possible that
this Was done In spirit of fun as the
| possible consequences were too serious.
COUNTY TEACHERS MEET.
The annual meeting Of the Manitowoc
County Teachers Association was held
at the First Ward High School last
| Saturday. The attendance was very
good, considering the condition Of the
| roads, there being present q majority of
the teachers from this city as we'll as q
large representation OF country teachers
The purpose OF the meeting was primar-
| lily business one--the election OF off
| GERS and the adoption OF the reports of
committees appointed at the spring meet
| ing. The election of officers resulted in
the election OF A. 81. lander as president
Mrs. P. b. Hewitt as vice president; q.
Groth as secretary; and Miss Hattie
Brennan as treasurer. A tax of % cents
was levied on each member. The report
OF the committee on q course of study
for the present year submitted its report
as published in The Pilot last week.
This was adopted, except the commit
| lees recommendation as to Hawthorne's
"House OF Seven Cables" for which the
meeting substituted Cooper's 1.-The Last
of the Mohicans."
| The literary program was an interest
| ing as we'll as an instructive one. VIM.
| O'Hsra presented an e1cellent paper on
aids to the teaching OF geography and
history, containing many valuable sug-
gestIons for the teachers of these branch
es. A. q. lander next read q paper on
FRAMING for Citizenship" which was
followed by very spirited discussion.
1t WAS evident that the teachers have
done considerable thinking on this sub
ject. The last exercise on the program
was paper by w, 81. Luehr upon char
acter building. Mr.. Luehr held tina,
character training was the best training
for citizenship, but that In this training
the home is q much more powerful fac
