THE Senate has passed the House Substitute Railroad Com mission Bill. The Governor will doubtless approve it and then the Commissioners will be ap- pointed. Much depends on the character of the men appointed as Commissioners as to wheth- CT the law will prove a blessing or a curse to the people. It takes $1o,00o a year to pay the salaries of the Commissioners and their clerks, besides the incl dental expenses, which may be as much more.

Gone but not forgotten.

Mrs. Eliza J. Rogers, the sub ject of this sketch, was born in Pike county, Ala, July 9th, 1854, and died at her home near Monti- cello, Dec. 14th, 1898.
 At the age of 10 years, Mrs. Rogers moved with her parents to Ouachita county, Ark, where she became united in marriage to Mir. Eli Rogers, deceased, at the age of I6 years. By him she became the mother of IS children, seven of whom survive her.
 Mrs. Rogers was quiet, unas- suming christian lady. She pro- fessed religion when young, and united with the Missionery Bap- tist Church and lived a consistent christian until the time of her death. She was charitable in her nature and ever ready to respond, as far as lay in her power, to the calls of those in need or distress. Her greatest wish was to live to see all her children grown, which a kind Providence permitted her to do.
 Though her sufferings were se- we're during her last illness, she bore them with fortitude and pa tienee equaled by few.
 At the age of 64 years, surround ed by relatives and friends, and with the full hope of q blessed i'm

OUR advice to young people just starting out in life, is to keep out of debt. It is q great deal easier to keep out of debt than it is to get out after you have once gotten in to it. A good credit, 1t is true, is a good thing to have, but the best way to preserve your credit is never to strain 1t.

The Wisconsin Telephone company in
declining to reduce the rates for rental
of telephones in this city offered as rea
son that profits are SO small now that a
reduction is impossible and predicted the
failure OF any company which might do
business here at less rental charge than
now prevails. The case of Wsusa was
cited as an instance of the folly of local
corporations going into this line Of bust
ness.
To view of Tie reference to Wsusa it is
interesting to note what is contained in
the report, recently made, of the board OF
directors Of the Wausa company.
The Wausa company was organized
four years ago. The capital stock is
$3.50. The stock for which each person
can subscribe is limited by the number
Of telephones he rents. The rate charge
Is - so per month for business houses,
IS cents for residences. The entire cost
of the plant, which has been extended
from year to year and improved, is Sl3,-
5l7.99. The money received from capital
stock, amounting to $3.50 went into the
plant. The balance, S7,667 80, is the
earnings of the company. II has paid

much Ice IN the lake as now. There hes
been only one disaster but there has been
number OF toats imprisoned In the ice
for considerable time. Captains who
are on winter service say the Manitowoc
harbor is about the most open on the
lake. The Ice in Chicago is great deal
more troublesome. Ice has formed clear
across the lake, though until Sunday

AMONG FARMERS.

Will those people who we're so anxious
to drive the farmer trade from Manito-

markets with equally good facilities,

1t mnst not be forgotten that Kewau-
nee has been advertised as one of the
best markets in the section and that
many OF our own businessmen spent
more time in dwelling upon it's excellence
than In planning success for their own
business. The reports above given are
tor Thursday last IN Manitowoc and for
Friday in Kewaunee, the Kewaunee
market being taken from The Enterprise.
Last week g Issue had comparison of
the Manltowoc market with the markets
OF Milwaukee. Green Bay and Depe-e,
Manltowoc standing easily next to Mil
Waukee. But not note was heard from
those public spirited citizens who would
| build up the city by destroying it's
trade. Why not do the city justice when
incontrovertlhle facts are presented? The
markets OF the city have undergone an
Improvement. Why are not these people
| busy nov in advertising it's superiority
| and thus try to regain what was lost by
their extreme folly in declaring in season
| and out OF season that "Manitowoc is no
place for farmers to Conner"
| There is every prospect that the price
OF potatoes will soon advance. The Sc
we're weather which prevailed for so long
a time has lessened the supply of pota.
