THE Northern Grain Company paid
in round numbers $3, 600 taxes this year,
and this without the annex being taxed
as that was built after May 1. And
still there are people who ask what bene-
fit the elevators are? The payment of
this tax alone is an important item
But what the city receives indirectly is
the main benefit. The number of boats
which winter here is due to the elevators.
The wintering of these boats here aids
materially in securing the location of
new industries here. The public spirit
of many of the citizens of Manitowoc
cost them considerable in securing these
elevators, but, of course, that goes for
nothing:

Up to last Tuesday there had been

amount shipped by the Northern Grain
Elevator Company in cars across the
lake and the amounts shipped by the o.

swelled to not less than 3, 900, 900 bushels.
Notwithstanding this, Elevator A on
Tuesday last was still filled with grain
and Elevators B and c nearly So
These facts show that Manitowoc with
its fine carferry system and splendid
harbor facilities is fast becoming great
grain center.
1t will be news to many people here
also that another elevator is among the
promises of the near future. With the
present elevators it has been impossible
to handle the grain business properly,
there being at one time recently about
$50 cars of grain standing ON the tracks
for unloading, while cars were held at
various points along the roads of the
Wisconsin Central and Northwestern
companies awaiting for the clearing up
OF those stalled here. Much complaint
was heard on account of the delay and
the Northern Grain company will be
forced to build another elevator to keep
pace with the business that is coming to
Manitowoc.

Secretary w. B, Stickney of the

to the Beaver Dam Malleable Iron COM
pany, which had it's factory entirely de-

a loss of 800, co., with view to bring

Mr.. Stickney says he emphasized the
fact that Oshkosh is a very desirable
commercial center and that it was the
best city in the state for the business Of
the company. A number of Oshkosh
capitalists are DESTROYS of taking an in
terest in the malleable iron business

the Beaver Dam company would find no
trouble in securing Oshkosh capital if
the works could be erected here The
patents of the company are held by the
corporation, although the plant and ma
chinery were destroyed in the big fire.
Mr.. Stickney invited the company to in
vestigate the advantages that could be
secured here and stated that if the COM

city as result of the fire, Oshkosh would
be found one of the very best locations
in the state. He las not yet received a

ECLIPSE OF THE sun.
II Will Occur on May Is and be Total at
Certain Points.

On Monday, May %, will occur the
total eclipse of the sun. The last eclipse
visible in the United States occurred in
1889 but was only visible in remote parts
of California and Minnesota
Since that time great strides have been
made in the improvement of the appar-
atus used for taking observations. Par
ticular interest is conferred about the
theory of the existence of planet be-
tween Mercury and the sun, which will
doubtless be put to the test during the
coming eclipse.
One of the greatest features of this
years eclipse will be the ease with which
it may be observed. Almost all the to-
tai eclipses which have occurred within
recent years have been only visible III
sparsely settled and, in some cases, mac.
cessible localities
The path of the coming eclipse will
travel Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,
Georgia, South Carolina North Carolina
and Virginia, cross the Atlantic, and
passing over Northern Africa and South
ern Europe, terminate at the Red Sea.
In every portion of the United States
east of theMississippi, not directly in the
shadows path, partial eclipse will be
seen.
In the various colleges and scientific
institutions throughout the world elab-
crate preparations are being made for
the observation of the eclipse. The
United States government will have
several stations scattered along the path
of the eclipse. Prof. S. j. Brown, di-
rector of the Naval Observatory, will
have the direct supervision of the gov
ernmental observations These stations
will be widely separated 50 that no stray
cloud may prevent a view of the eclipse.

All About q Clock.

All About Clock.
There is possibility of "a strike among
the elders of the German Lutheran
church, which would be novel feature

quires four or five Of them to wind the
tower clock once week and the demand
upon their avoirdupois is too exacting,
though in good cause. With the OBJ
ject of making the burden less onerous
Aid. Pohl, Theo. Schmidtman, ST., Hen
ry Wernecke and Carl SEEKER drove to
Two Rivers last Sunday and spent the
day there examining tower clock which
takes only one mans muscle and that
without causing him to perspire. A re-
port was made by these gentlemen at n
meeting of the officers of the church
here on Monday night last, but no action
was taken. 1t is proposed to either put
in water or an electric motor to raise
the weights. 1t is either motor or n
strike of the elders that confronts the
trustees and the elders are likely to win
out in time. In the meantime the clock
will continue to ring cut the hours Of
the day from its high elevation, unmind-
full Of the storm which is raging below.

TALK OF A DIVISION.
Plan to Separate the Congrega.
ton of st. BOnifaCe Church.
CAPACITY OF THE EDIFICE TOO SMALL.
English Speaking Portion Of the Membership
Favor Another Church, but Think the
Time is Not Yet Opportune
Piel in Sympathy.

The agitation begun over a year ago
to divide the English and German speak
ing portion of st. Boniface Church, and
which was dropped after meeting or
two had been held, has been revived and
| though it is not likely to result in any
thing definite this year, especially 3,
building material is SO high, sun il is
thought that the consideration of the
plan will assume definite shape before
the close of the present year.
Though Father Piel of st. Bonifaee
church realizes that it will be necessary
before long to either divide the congre-
cation or to add to the capacity of the
present church, which is now severslv
taxed each Sunday, still there are OBJ
stacles IN the way of new church which
would preclude prompt action this sum-
mer
In talk with Father Piel by a Pilot
representative he said that he favored
the division, not because there was the
least friction between the German and
the English communicates. The church
could not now give comfortable seating
capacity to the membership and the
work of the parish was heavy tax upon
the priests in charge 1t must be either
enlargement Of the church building or n
new church in another quarter of the
city. just at present, however, the par
ish of st. Boniface could not assist a
new church, he said, because it is carry
ing a debt itself and if the new church
is started those who remained with st.
Boniface congregation would be in duty
bound to contribute certain amount to
offset what those who would withdraw
had done for St Boniface
Some of those interested in the pro-
posed division have offered cite free
for the new church on the north side, in
fact several sites have been offered free
as it is believed wherever the church is
built it would result in the advance of
property around it.
If the church division was decided
upon there would necessarily have to be
the sanction of the archbishop of the
diocese but no opposition whatever is
expected from that source.
1t is understood the agitation for u
new church is to be kept up until the
object sought for has been accomplished.
