NOTES FROM MISHICOTT,

Our public schools are again in full
blast.
Mrs. T. Heyroth spent a few DAYS
with friends and relatives last week.
Two brilliant social events took
place in the village on New Years
eve. A dance at the Opera Hall
which was one of the most pleasant
that ever took place in this village,
and a card party in Drew's Hotel
where large delegation of Two Riv
ers people were treated to some Mlshi
cot hospitality.
The writer has been accorded the
opportunity of examining the New
Era, the Manitowoc High School pap
er, and has found it very interesting
and attractive sheet An improve
ment over some of the previous edi-
tons is the preference now given to
intellectual topics ovor those concern
ing football and athletics, interest in
which was in our opinion somewhat
overdrawn during last fall.
Following is the program for the
teachers meeting to he held here next

PENSION Commissioner Evans is invit-
ing bis downfall. He has vigorously at
tackled pension frauds. 1t can be no
slight cause which has made him so true
ulent. He says there are $4,000 pension
agent searching the country for soldiers
widows and orphans. When they are
found they are convinced it is patriotic
duty to file an app LEGATION for pension,
and they are intlicting a wrong upon the
government by neglecting TO do go.
Orphans" 40 years old are receiving back
pensions, their parents having died while
the orphans were under the age of 16.
Widows of soldiers who have remarked,
but who failed to receive pensions during
their period of wldowhood, have been
taught lessons OF patriotism and are get
ting back pensions. Judging from the
commissioners language, it is regular
saturnalIa OF pension getting and orphans
and widows are spriuglng mp like armed
men from the dragons teeth.
Commissioner Evans should procee
with care. President Cleveland tried to
lop off unworthy pensions, and republic,
an papers with practical unanlmity pre-
nounced him an enemy to the soldier.
General Bragg, whose war record is equal
to that of the best, lost bis prestige of
PATRIOTISM by attempting to stem the tor
tent of Cndeserviug pensions. Since the
close of the war about two billion dollars
have been paid out in pensions. The orp-
hans and widows are increasing and pref
ty soon the whole country will be made
up of these two classes.

DEMOCRATS have fallen so much into
the habit of fusing that they fused with
republicans IN Ohio. The fusion forces
captured both houses of the legislature
A republican was elected speaker of the
house but he is not the caucus nominee.
Idemocrats turned in to elect him.
The election of United States senator
is the chief cause of contest. Mark Hanna
will probably be defeated. The manner
in which he was forced upon the state
justlfies his defeat. IL was an affair of
bargain and SALE Hanna would make
first class senator as be has business
ability, but he secured his seat IN the sem
ate by exercising the powers of boss.

GENERAL NEWS.

Gen. BlancO Seems determined to push
matters in Cuba. He is to take the field in
person in the course of a couple of weeks
President 1riplett of medical college
at Angora, Miss, was shot In the back
while going to praying meeting on Sun
day last. He will die.
Durrant's lawyers are making another
effort to stay his execution, From the
success they have had in the past il is
not safe to say they will not succeed this
time.
A boy IA years old, fell out of the bal
cony in Hopkins theatre, Chicago, into
the parquet. He fell between two rows
of seats so thaG he injured no one and
fortunately did not hurt hims elf serious
ly.
People who have lately arrived from
klondike say the cold there is intense
ranging from 60 to 70 below zero. The
Ice along the river is piled up 10 feel
high. Only the best dog teams are able
to make their way. Outfits which start
ed down the river have frozen IN and mus,
await the going out of the ice before they
can proceed.
There is something of food panic
at Dawson City. Not that starvation
has set in but its coming IS feared. Il
is reported that in October some In
dams made their appearance with the
carcasses of four moose They solo
the meat which brought them in 81
600. There was the widest scramble
for it.
The I. S. circuit court yesterday
denied Durrant's application for 8
writ of habeas corpus. This ends his
last hope and he will be hanged to-
morrow. He has requested that nc
autopsy be held on his body, that the
rope with which he is hanged be a,
once burned and that his body be
turned over to his parents.
A terrible accident occurred at Lon
don, Ontario, on Monday night. A
crowd had assembled in the City Hal
to hear political address. The audi
ence numbered 1000 The speakers
did not come forward at once and
there was the usual stamping of i'm
patience. Suddenly the floor gave
way and the crowd was precipitated
to the lower floor 20 feet below. A
heavy safe which was in the hall came
crashing down on the struggling mass
Twenty four persons were killed and
number were wounded.

A professor of the Vienna Universe
ty says he has, after 20 years expert
menting, discovered a means of fixing
the sex of animal offspring. He has
not made public the means by which
this is to be affected farther than say
ing that it consists in the character
of the food taken by the female.
IT seems that Marinette has hopes that
il may yet secure the River Falls normal
school. Marinette should not covet its
neighbours goods. River Falls paid a
bonus to secure the normal school. The
state accepted the bonus and built the
school. The state Is under obligations
now as binding as originally. The state
did itself no credit by accepting bride
but having done so it should discharge
its part of the obligation.

Mrs. GRIFFITH OF Ohio is now as big
a woman as Mrs. Fitzsimmons. She EVIL

at her home, and lnstructs her liege vas
sal how to vote. Mrs. Griffith was sent
for at 3 a. NJ. to act for her husband in
making up his mind as to the position he
should take in the Ohio senatorial con-
test. He had taken various sides pre-
viously. probably because of the absence
OF his fly wheel, But he came out for
Mark Hanna and did 1t IN writing so that
he might not forget it. Then be reflected
that his wife had suffered indiguit.es at
the hands of the Hanna managers and he
came out 10 writin' second time saying
that blamed il he would do what be had
writ he'd do. Mrs. Griffith is the proper
head OF that family as Griffith seems bit
uncertain whether nature gave him a

THE Marathon county pan of county
normal schools is almost identical with
that approved by the county board of
this county on the suggestion of Super
intendent Patzer. now professor in the
Milwaukee Normal school. Had he re-
manned superint endent of schools in this
county, Manitowoc would be the pioneer
in this movement from which so much
good may be expected If it is inaugurated
with good purpose and conducted intel
ligently. 1t will prove a failure, or at
least suffer materially, if it has any de-
pendence upon high school. The move
ment in favor of country schools to be-
successful must be guided by country
school sentiment.

FROM the report of the directors Of the
mint 1t is learned that the gold produc-
ton of the year 1897 is about $40, 100000,
tn increase Of 30 per cent. over 1896. This
increase is far beyond the increase in the
WORLDS business, which, by the way, de-
Ponds more upon modern facilities of ey-
change than upon circulating medium.
