The name Manitowoc was probably
derived from the Algonquin words Nan
dou, meaning spirit, and ,rok meaning
place or dwelling. According to the
Indians belief almost everything in ma
ture is controlled by its particular spir-
it. Thus they worship god Of war,
lire, the hunt the clouds, the sun and
so on; and above all reigns the great
spirit, Gdcbe- .nopit0u And here where
the silently flowing river issued from
the dense tamarack forest aud mingled
with the waters of the great lake MT
cht-gd0u or Gftchi- GuntD dwelt the spirit
OF water, and consequently Of fisheries,
for the mouth Of the river with the bay
beyond was n great fishing resort: and
various tribes of Indians from the interi-
or spent their summer months near the
mouth of the Manito voc, catching and
making their winter sHpply of fish.
But some authority has asserted that
the name man has been derived from q
plant possessing many virtues, growing
along the lake shore, which in season
was gathered by the Indians. Its name
was .Haau0-Tok, and its transformation
INTO Maaitowoc was simple The same
writer tries to prove that the word Mil

POLITICAL IMp0R TANCE SHOULD
NOT BE ATTACHED TO VISIT OF
RIVERS AND HARBORS COMMITTEE

Ii is perfectly proper for Manitowoc
people to accord full credit to Mr..
Davidson for all that he has done for
their city and TO graciously manifest
their appreciation thereof, but too
much political Importance should not
be attached to his efforts III their behalf,
Nor should the efforts of his Democratic
predecessors be forgotten and over
looked. Rankin, Hudd. Bragg Bur
chard Brinlmer and Wells We're each us
attentive to the interests of Manitowoc
and as active and influential in securing
them as Mr. Davidson has been, but
their efforts were not seconded by IL
powerful lobby ut Washington sent there
by the North Western and the Central
railroads, in whose interests the recent
improvements to the Manitowoc harbor
have been made. We have no criticism
to offer deprecatory Of Mr.. Davidson,
but we do not think that he should be
given political prestige for what has
been accomplished by railroad influence.
The next Congress is liable 10 be Demo
cratic and Manitowoc should not stake
all its chances upon Mr. Davidson's po-
litical future. Two Rivers Chronicle.

A Larger Enrolment Than There
Was Last Year.
WAGES INCREASE 1913 PER CENT
The Number of Children of School Age
Reaches 1923.
III SCHOOLS EMPLOY l76 TEACHERS.
1884 of the Children are Attending the Rom.
an Catholic and German Lutheran
Schools. Teachers Well Equipped.

1t is thought the enrolment in the
county schools this year will be larger
by $50 than it was last year. Within
the county there are 1898 children Of
school age, but many of these will not
appear with their names on the roll ne-
cause they are working. For the 1l2
schools that will be in operation by next
Monday t16 teachers have been engaged
On careful estimate it is shown that
the teachers of the county this year re-
ceive 33t per cent increase i'll salary
over last year, and within the county
only two schools pay rs low rs $50 a
month.
A report reaches the county superin-
tendent, showing that 1894 children are.
attending the parochial schools Of Mani
towoc county, including Lutheran and
Roman Catholic These schools s1e
self-supporting and are in no way u
charge upon the county.
The superintendent says he looks for
ward to II very bright year in all the
schools He AYERS that the teachers
have been selected with the greatest
care, and they have been chosen with
IN eye to wnat they will accomplish
He thinks that at no period We're the
schools better equipped in teaching ma
terial than now

FATHER PIEL SAYS
CATHOLICS MUST NOT
JOIN MODERN WOODMEN

The Rev Father Piel gave notice from
the pulpit of ST. Boniface's church last
Sunday at all the masses that he felt it
a duty TO the Catholics of the parish to
say that the order of the Modern Wood
men was under the ban of the church,
according to the rules laid down by the
Council of Baltimore. He said that
while it has been shown that some Ro-
man Catholic bishops and clergy have
approved of the order, yet he is guided
in his action by the law of the church.

system is the all predominating factor
in determining the high school enroll
ment, one need only compare the enroll
ment in Manitowoc last year with that
of three years ago. While the popula-
ton of the city has grown about 1000
in the meantime, the total attendance
in our three high schools has been at
standstill. AS the city grows larger it
is expected a relative high school at
tendance to fall here as elsewhere.

Nothing happened to mar the occasion
and at 3:53:33 the. first contact took
place. For some time after the COM
mencement nothing unusual or differ
ent from partial eclipses occurred. At
4:25 the landscape began to darken;I
ten minutes later the blue of the sky ov
erhead grew deeper. AT 4:40 the wind
which had been blowing quite briskly,
quoted down. About this time also it
began to be perceptibly colder Over
coats would have been quite conlforta-
bic. At 4:45 the Sky at the zenith was
intensely blue, but considerably lighter
near the horizon. AT 1850 there was the
appearance of the approach of thun-
der storm, tho not the faintest cloud
was visible. At 1855 but a narrow cres-
cent of the sun was to he seen; the air
was growing dark and wierd. At 4:57
the scene was enlivened by the appear
ance of Venus. At $50 came the total
observation. This was the crowning
glory OF the scene. In an instant the

peared and the magnificent corona
flashed out, the indescribable wonder
and admiration of all who beheld it.

ed Saturday evening thrue the efforts
OF Capt. Gray, charged with stealing a
horse, buggy and harness from A. W.
Afford, an Eldon liveryman. Noble
was taken to Eldon today where he
had his preliminary examination, which
ne waived, and was held to the grand
jury.
He was put in Jail and today was tax
en- to Eldon where he waived examina-
ton and was held in bonds to the
grand jury. This morning at the iail
he stated to the county attorney that
he had no witnesses and wanted 10
get the matter thru with as little ex.
pense as possible. From this Inference
it is drawn that he will plead guilty
to the charge when indicted.
