spite OF the storm thirteen of the aldermen
turned out. Under the head of resolu-
tions, resolution by Aid Canright was
adopted providing that the proposed
paving OF 9Th street should not apply to
the block between Washington and Han
cock streets. The report of the chief of
police was presented and referred. May
or Rahr made recapitulation Of the
public work accomplished during the
past year. The total value of public
improvements was placed at over $25, :
600. Hestrongly recommended liberal
expenditure during the coming year in
further dredging the river The paving
of Eighth and Commercial streets was
also urged as prime necessity. He
thanked the retiring members of the
board for their harmonious action in the
citys interest during the past year. Aid
derman Hanson moved that each mem
Der of the council be allowed 800 for
committee work. Alderman Pohl sec
onded the motion, and it was carried.
This is raise OF $50 per man, but the

A LONG LIFE,

Mrs. David Soper died at her home in
the town of Cato, this county, on Mon
day, April 9th, at the ripe age OF eighty
five. Mrs. Soper, whose maiden name
was BeJsy Mason. was born in Troy, N.
Y, in December 1915. She married
David Soper in 1882. In the spring of
1858 Mr. and Mrs. Soper came to Wis
consin and soon afterwards settled upon
farm in Cato township. Eight chill
dren were the fruit of the marriage,
three girls and five boys. When the war
broke out four of the boys went to the
front; one of these died IN Andersonville
prison another one from injuries receiv-
ed n campaigning, end the other two
survived the conflict and returned home.
Mrs. Soper has been living since the
death of her husband, thirty years ago,
with her daughter, Mrs. w. Chilsolm.
She was hale and cheerful up till a few
weeks ago, when she was seized with q
severe cold, which resulted in her death.
After witnessing the life of one like Mrs.
Soper we realize how true are the words
of George Elliott that all the growing
good of the world is largely due to those
who have lived unhistoric lives and rest
in unvisited graves"
The funeral took place Wednesday OF
this week and was conducted by Rev.
Walter Johnston, pastor of Presbyterian
church at Manitowoc The interment
was in the cemetery at Cato Falls.

VERNON AT THE NORMAL.

Prof. Vernon the celebrated hypnotist
addressed the faculty and students at
the Normal School in the chapel this
morning, and all say he is presenting
his subject in more scientific manner
than any one that has ever visited our
city. The faculty and students were
highly pleased with the manner in which
Prof. Vernon treats The science, and
nearly all will attend his entertainment
at the Opera House tonight and make a
scientific investigation of this great field
for thought. Don't fail to see this inter
esting man at the Opera House April rs.

The director of the geological survey
has had an appraisement made by ex-
perts to determine the value of the spe-
cimens of fossil dinosaurs belonging to
the collection of the late Prof. o. G.
Marsh, which have been turned over
to the national museum in Washing
ton. According to this estimate, the
skulls of the monster triceratops, or
"three-horned beast" are worth at
least $1,000 apiece, while other skulls
vary in value from $50 to $3.50. The
head and neck of the triceratops were
covered by an enormous bony helmet
seven or eight feet long.

afraid to be generous. The proprietors

Several tugs went out TO the disabled
steamer California yesterday morning.
and as they remained In the Vicinity Of
tie disabled craft for some time 1t wal
evident that something was to be done.
Down at the end OF the wharves oonsid-
erAhle 4 excitement was aroused BY thii
action as nobody seemed to know just
what was TO take place. Within few
minutes. however, the curiosity was eat
is1ed. The steamer was pulled out 6
short distance from IT,. Beach OF Willard

urday and here she remained all day
while the divers were allowed tho best

statesman in his memoirs shortly before
his death. "it Is not probable that the

DEWEY'S CANDIDACY.
Not Taken Seriously as n Presidential
Possibility.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l

lhfECAAL ~ AhH AA~NL
Washington, April 5.-The announce
ment that Admiral Dewey IL . candidate
for the Presidency IL accepted BY the best
informed public msn In Washington as
true, .and as representing tbs attitude OF
the victor of Manila. But II 10 also
thought that he 10 too lats In launching
his poem. Having unduly exaltsd him
the American people seem now 10 have
gone to the other extreme Of unduly neg
lecting him. Bsoauss he did wisely aud
nobly against the feet OF Spain in the
Orient. the popular imagination ct once
invested him not only with military
genius, hut also with all the virtues
which the teachers of ethics would pre-
scribe for an ideal man.
When the great Admiral came home,
fell In love, and married, like an ordinary
man, except that no moved on the altar
with the same promptness that he moved
on Manila there was . feeling that he
was not demi-god after all. And then
when he foolishly transferred the nations
gilt to his wife ths proof that he was not
a demi-god actually made people for
day set him down little lower than the
ordinarily wiSe or foolish man.
There were many people jealous of his
fame and popularity and they have not
allowed the house Incident to be forgot
ten. So upon the whole. 10 may be said
that so far as Warrington 10 concerned,
ct least, Admiral Dewey has ceased to
attract great attention. He lie not much
talked about, and little was said even
when the announcement Of his candidacy
was made,
Mrs. Dewey Is quite generally credited
with slim ulatin g her husbands ambi-
ton. She Ia a slater OF the John Mclean
who made the light for the governorhip
OF Ohio last fall and political ambition
has always been one of the characteristics
Of the McLsan fami ly which has long
been distinguished In Ohio.
1t Is probable however that Admiral
Dewey Is stronger In the country at large
than In Washing ton where petty jealous
les are apt to have undue influence; and
his candidacy may have important indi-
rect influences. That he can achieve the
Presidency is not seriously believed here.

MEETING GRAND TRUNK.
Bridges ON Portland DIvis,on To BE
RECONSTRUCTED.

London, April 5.-At the meeting to-
day of the shareholders of the Grand
Trunk railroad of Canada the report Of
the president, Sir Charles Rivers Wilson
was adopted. He sai1 In the course Of a
long speech that he believed the reorgani-
zation OF the Chicago Grand Trunk
would be CARR ed out though one third Of
the first bondholders still dissented.
There was no indicHtion the president
added of better freight rates as such
powerful interests as those of the Penn
syIvania railroad and the Vnnderbilts
were unable to maintain the tariff nor
could the gr sat financial interests Of New
York enforce Uxed rates. This WAS diff
cult to explain but IL seemed TO him that
the great shippers were able to compel
reductions. Some shippers were never
known to pay foil rate and the smaller
and weaker struggling shippers were
ohliteratsd. The remedy had legalizsd
pooling.
The bridges of the Portland, Maine, di.
vision, Sir Charles continued, would
be reconstructed In time for the winter
traffic. The presidsn Mt also said the Cen
trail Vermont was doing most sstisfAc-
tory, the Detroit and Minnesota. having
done fairly well and the Chicago and
Grand Trunk was doing fairly we'll.
