CATO.

Cato outdid itself in its efforts at a
patriotic celebration on July 4. A very
large crowd was drawn to the town from
the surrounding country and from Man
itowoc to participate in the exercises IN
cident to the dedication OF the new
Foresters' hall, which has been erected
AS n permanent and necessary improve
ment. The exercises proper took place
i'm the afternoon in Assembly hall, where
Albert Schmidt and Stephen MacMahon
of Mauitowoc spoke Prior to the speak
ing the Cato band played several patrl-
otto selections, which were literally
applauded. The people were evidently
at the height of patriotic fervor.
If WAS after 3 o'clock when Daniel
Laughlin called the meeting to order.
He said a few words of introduc ton in
announcing each of the speakers. Mr..
MacMahon was first called upon and he
delivered clear and eloquent defense OF
the American system of government, IN
which he said no citizens political
rights are abridged, and where caste and
favored classes are unknown quantities.
His remarks were listened to with I'M
usual attention, his hearers evidently
approaching every spoken word. AT the
conclusion he was applauded.
When Mr.. Schmidt arose to speak, 1t
was evident that his reputation as an
orator preceded him. His speech had
special reference to the wisdom and de-
sign of Providence, which through CEN
turies had prepared II people to give cog
nate form to the highest and best political
system. He combatted the argument
that the birth of independence and the
organization of the American Republic
were mere accidents, but rather urged
his view that the United States Is an
idea which only fully developed after
long process, through trials, struggles
and privations. During his speech he
was attentively listened to and at It's
close enthusiastically applauded.
1t is understood that the Forresters
order took in over $500 which Will be
applied on the cost of the new hall.

STORIES CURRENT
IN MANITOWOC.

Otto Karnofsky has new musical in
strument which greatly amused Il social
party that spent Il pleasant evening in a
down town resort. A couple of timer
ant Italian musicians had asked to play
their clarionet and fiddle in the place.
The permission had been granted and
the musicians discomsed the most nerve
racking sounds under the name of music
that one could listen to. The inharmo-
Nous noise that the Instruments made,
came as a novelty and the band was al
lowed to continue. 1t was noticed that
one of the players made it his business
every ten minutes to take his hat, and
pass it among the guests at the table.
Whenever he went ON collecting tour,
he wore the most obsequious smile,
which operated two ways. Some of the
men resented it while others threw half
dollars into the pleading hat. AT the
finale, however the itinerant musicians
left for home more contented than when
they started in to play.
1t was during the narrowing perform
ance of the italians that Otto thought
he could add little tone to the music
and make it slightly more pleasant to
the ear, so he procured IL broom handle,
which he used in drawing music by rub
bing it up and down a door panel. His
efforts caused ripples of laughter to pass.
The novelty was hugely enjoyed.
