EX. CONGRESSMAN WELLS
IS HOPEFUL OF THE
SIXTH DISTRICT.

Former Congressman Owen A. Wells
was i'll Manitowoc last Saturday for Il
few hours. Mr.. Wells is as earnest a
Democrat rs ever and firmly believes
that Mr.. Bryan will be elected Speak
ing of the contest in the Sixth district
Mr.. Wells was moved to say:
Il believe that James w. Watson is
making such strong canvass that it is
not possible to beat him. In our section
of the district he is ON top. He is an
able campaigner, Il first rate fellow, all
of which makes him dangerous oppon-
ent of Mr., Davidsons. This is not "a
campaign of sentiment or personalities.
Men this year will vote for issues and
not for good fellows Should the Demo
Gratis carry the district and am hopeful
they will then Manitowoc county and
city need have no regrets

A STIRRING PLAY,
WAY DOWN EAST"
AT THE DAVIDSON.

Manager William A Brady produc-
tion of Lottie Blair Parkers play "Way
Down East" will be given at the David
son theatre, Milwaukee, for one week
beginning next Sunday night
This is the same great play that for
several months crowded the Manhattan
theatre and the Academy of Music, New
York, 427 times 1t will be given in
Milwaukee with splendid cast, elabor-
ate scenery and effects, with every atten-
ton to detail that tended to make its
metropolitan engagement so noticeable
The play is splendid study of New Eng
land life. 1t is called II story of plain
people. The best of critics pronounce it
a superior play to The Old Homestead
or Shore Acres And wherever il has
been presented scores of letters from
clergymen, school teachers and others
have been received telling of their de-
light at the story thatit SO aptly teaches
The dialogue is stirring the wit bright.
and the love scenes deftly arranged.
There will be matinees on Wednesday
and Saturday afternoons.

/ ORD RUSSELL OF KILLOWEN
WARNED AMERICANS OF
DANGER OF MILITARISN

Four years ago Lord Russell delivered
the address before the American Bar as
sociation at Saratoga. The lord chief
justice is dead, but some of his words in
the light of present events seem proph-
etic
The subject Of his address was Inter
national Law and Arbitration He ad-
vocated the disbanding of standing ar
mics and the establishment of an inter
national tribunal to settle disputes
If the lord chief justice of imperial
England was opposed to standing armies
what should be the position of the peace
full American citizen? We give below
an extract from his address
But in spite Of all this who can say
that these times breathe the spirit of
peace? There is war in the air Nations
armed to the teeth prate of peace, but
there Is no sense Of peace, One sover-
elgn burdens the industry of his people
to maintain military and naval arma-
ment at war strength, and his neighbor
does the like and jistifies it hy the ex-
ample of the other; and Great Britain,
lnsular though she be- with her imperial
interests scattered the world over, fol-
lows or is forced to follow in the wake.
II there be no war, there is at best an
armed peace
Figures are appalling. take those
for 1895. In Austria the annual cost of
army and navy was in round figures Is
sterling in France 81 millions

CIRCULATE A LIE
TO HURT GEORGE
WEHAUSEN'S CANDIDACY

A story has gone the rounds that when
George Wehausen's father made an as
slgnment that George knew of the pro-
bable financial embarrassment of his fa-
ther, because he was the bookkeeper
when the failure was declared and kept
the news secret to defraud the farmers
1t would be bad enough to circulate the
story if true, but there is not a vestige
OF truth in it. The facts are that the
present candidate for county clerk on
the Democratic ticket had severed his
connections with his fathers business
six years before the assignment was
made, Mr. Wehausen was as much in
the dark on his fathers business as an
outsider.
Such stories and similar ones are being
made to catch a stray vote here and
there, but it is said the county people
are 10th to give an ear to the miserable
tales now afoat

False Notions Abroad Concerning Gas

Experience Shows that Very Little 0dOr

Some of the residents adjoining the
property where the Gas company intend
to locate its plant are objecting against
its erection They say that the convert

have the effect of depreciating the value
of property because there will be emit

Odor
For several days there has been talk
of petitioning the city council, asking it
to forbid the erection of the plant at
this spot but though the neighbors have
done considerable talking about the pc
tition no definite step has been taken to-
ward this end
From those who are IN II position to
know the statement is made that the To-
cation of the gas plant might be ON
Eighth street without causing the least
discomfort to the people so far as the
odor is concerned. ha gas plant is no
greater nuisance than Dhe boiler works
or any other factory. 1t is pointed out
that in many of the large cities the gas
works are surrounded by large popula-
tions and no objection is made. Here
gas is manufactured from the coal and

GROUNDS OF THE

Considerable improvement is being
made about the grounds of the Luling
school, which adds very much to the ap-
pearance Of that section of the city
Heretofore the land which surrounds
the building was bare, but it has been
laid out with an eye to the artistic sod
ded all over and the walks laid with
gravel. The property has enhanced in
looks good 90 per cent and the Sixth
ward residents more than appreciate the
change There are still other improve
ments to be made on the school grounds.

III Germany q millions in Great Brit
ain 30 millions; in Italy l3 millions, and
in Russia 80 millions.
The significance Of these figures is
increased if we compare them with
those Of former times The normal cost
OF the armaments of war has of late
years enormously increased. The annu-
al interest on the public debt of the
great powers is war tax Behind this
array of facts stands tragic figure. 1t
speaks of over-burdened industries, of a
waste OF human energy unprofitably en-
gagged OF the squandering of treasure
which might have let light into many
lives, of homes made desolate, and all
TINS, too often, without recompense in
the thought that the sacrifices have been
made for the love of country or TO pre.

First Step Upward Was Sergeant then
CommiSsary Sergeant,
An account of His Life After Leaving
ManitOwOC.
SINCE HIS DEATH THE SOLDIERS MISS HIM.
AT the Time of His Enlistment He Said He
Was Without Parents so the Adjutant
General Merely Forwarded the Facts
of His Death to Washington
He Lived at 1908 Hamilton
Street, This City.

Private James B. Murry of the
Forty-fifth regiment, United
States infantry, now stationed
in the Philippines writes the sub
joined letter, anent the death of
Commissary Sergeant Groll, who
laid upon the altar of his country
his life. The story as told by
Groll's companion is eloquent
because it is sincere attestation
of the worth, courage and devo-
ton of the fallen hero:
Lithuanian, Luzon, P.I., Aug. IS, 1900
Editor Manitowoc Pilot; | have the
honor of addressing myself to You and
informing you that young man by the
name of Anthony Groll, supposed to be
from zoos Hamilton street, Manitowoc,
Wis, was shot III our engagement of the
18th inst. His dairy showed the place,
and name of this young man, who was
very popular with his company of a very
generous nature He showed bravery
in all the engagements that we ever
were in. The first was when we We're
at the battle Of Montabban where he
lead the charge up hill, for which lie
was offered corporalship but gallantly
refused it, saying that he was contented
with what he was.
His diary shows he left home in the
winter. He went to a place called She
boygan where he remained six months
Then he drifted to northern Minnesota
and the Rainy Lake region, then back to
Minneapolis where he stopped some time
working at drug store. In the spring
of '99 he went to Portland, Oregon,
where l made his acquaintance From
Portland he went TO Salem for one
month then to Vancouver, Wash, where
he enlisted as a soldier.
In some of our engagements he showed
bravery for which he was promoted to
sergeant when we came here. Later he
was appointed Commissory sergeant of
this post, which position he held up to the
time of his death. He was very quiet
person.
IF he had been more cautious on the
twelfth he never would have been shot
then. As we We're under heavy fire,
the outpost on our right was too weak to
stand off the Filipinos, and as the cap
tain did not know who to send out there,
since all the other lieutenants were on
some duty, Groll volunteered to take
few men and uniform them, which hedid,
taking command He commanded all
to get behind the pre,lstworks for protec-
tion, but he never seemed to think of
himself. The engagement commenced
ut 8 a. IN. and at $50 or thereabouts he
was shot through the head, dying in
stantly. The boys all miss him greatly.
At the time of his enlistment he said
that he did not haye any parents, so the
adjt. general of the army could not in
form them through military channels
If you publish a piece in your paper
about this young man you cannot honor
him too much. for he deserves all the |
honor possible
Il will close now, hoping you will re-
ceive this account of your brave com
rade.
