A SOLDIERS monument was unveiled
at Kewaunee ON Decoration Day The
monument is beautiful one. The act
of unwilling was done by Miss Read,
daughter OF John NJ Read after whom
the Post at that place is named. The
selection was peculiarly appropriate as
no man filled a larger place in the hearts
of Kewaunee people than did Read. The
address on the occasion was delivered by
Albert Schmidt of this city whose fame
as public speaker is widespread though
he is still "a young man
CHARLES SWEETING is being urged
for the position of Assistant Dairy Com
missioner There could be no better APP
pointment made Mr. Sweeting has de-
voted his whole life to dairy interests
and is eminently practical He enjoys
the work because he understands 1t and
is interested in it, Mr. Sweeting has
not the faculty of pushing himself for
ward for position, but this trait should
serve as recommendation The people
of Manitowoc county would be highly
gratihed over his selection
PAUL OLSON seems to have been wrong
ed this time. Requisition papers We're
sought from Governor Scofield, but he
refused to grant them on the representa-
ton made and so Paul was discharged
from custody. The governor did not
think much of the charge of embezzle-
ment made by Rosenberg. People here
who We're disposed TO believe in Pauls
protestations of emendation felt outrag-
ed when they heard he had again got him
self into trouble and swore they would
not believe an angel if he declared Paul's
reform Now they feel better pleased
over the opinion they had formed.
JOHN SCHUETTE has some property ON
the banks Of the river which he has held
for residence purposes One gets a view
of the entire river valley and the smoke
stacks of all the factories being within
the line of vision, the city has the appear
ance of being hive of industry The
incoming and outgoing of trains can be
readily noticed. But the gale which
fans the brow from this point OF van
tage is the chief delight of the place. At
this season the air there is fragrant with
the odor of blossoms waited across the
valley. 1t is a pretty spot, but unfor-
tunately John is not going to occupy it
until he is crippled with rheumatism.
The Pere Marquette knocked Eighth
street bridge off its pins Sunday. The
protection pier had been partly removed
in the course of the repairs being made,
and the carferry swung around a little
in passing through the draw, colliding
with the bridge The shock threw the
bridge off the circular track, but FORUM
ately not off the stone pier. The bridge
tenders were injured by the sudden jerk
impaired to the heavy oak handle used in
turning. The assistant suffered two
broken ribs, besides other bruises 1t
was really a narrow escape for the men
and for the bridge, for little stronger
push would have sent the whole struc-
ture into the river The actual damage
turned ont to be slight, and everything
was got in shape by ten o'clock Monday
morning.
