A more than usually important ses-
sion of the Criminal Court, Judge HUI
gus, was held yesterday morning, a
! number of matters of moment being
brought before the tribunal, and dis
posed of as is indicated below:
In the case of State v. w. ]. Colts,
indicted for forgery of the name of ].
G. Haberfeld to note of 5000, as has
been fully explained heretofore in the
Register, the cause was certified to
the Circuit Court of Marshall county
for trial. There was an apparent pre-
vious inclination on the part of the
Court to send the case to Brooke coun-
ty, while the defense had preference
for some county outside of this judi
cial district. The matter was discuss
ed rather deliberately by counsel, not
ably by Col. Arnett, who made a point
in favor of Marshall county, if the
case must remain in this district, that
the people of the agricultural sections
of that county were not extensively
addicted to the habit of reading the
daily papers, and he recounted some
political campaign experiences and
"reminiscences as proof of his state
ment. 1t followed, in the opinion of
the Colonel, that an impartial jury
might be obtained in Marshall. He
also urged Marshall county from an
economical standpoint, as Mounds
vile could be reached much more
cheaply than Wellsburg. Prosecuting
Attorney Meyer had little to say, aside
from an expression of preference on
the part of the State for Brooke coun-
ty, and the Court accordingly made
the order for Marshall county, on the
first day of the June term. A bond Of
$500 was required and given.
In the case of State v. John Mooney
and Frank Friday, indicted for the
murder Of James Hervey, defendants
filed pleas of not guilty. The defense
were represented by Col. Arnett, who
announced, after a consultation with
attorneys for the State, Messrs. Meyer
and Howard, that he would file pleas
in abatement later in the week, based
upon the ground that there had been
no preliminary examination.
In the case of State v. Miller, indict-
ed for stealing $84 from w. H. Ander-
son, the demurrer was argued and
submitted.
The case of State v. Bert McCon-
nuaghy, convicted of the burglary of
Gundling & Carenbauers saloon, was
called up, and sentence of six years in
the penitentiary was passed. When
defendant was asked if he had any,
thing to say why sentence should not
be pronounced, he answered:
'Only this, your honor. If the law
yer appointed by the Court to defend
me had issued the subpoenas for the
witnesses l wanted summoned, would
have beeH able to prove that the money
found on me was my own and that I
was not, and could not possibly have
been in the saloon at the time of the
robbery. That's all have to say"
Attorney George Duncan, of Bridge
port, made plea for the defendant,
based on the fact that he had been a
soldier, and then sentence was passed.
A stay of thirty days was granted.
Benz. Frazier, indicted for completely
in the same robbery, was granted a
new trial. Both defendants were re-
manded to Jail.
The demurrer in the case of State V.
Robert Peasants will be argued Satur-
day.

The arguments for and against the

the subject is worthy of most thor

A committee was appointed to study
the matter in detail and as prelimi.

submitted To the superintendent of

TWO RIVERS WORkiNGMEN
ARE SORRY NOW THAT
THEY WENT ON A STRIKE.

Edward Mueller, II member of the firm
of Mueller Bros, brewers of Two Rivers,
was in the city on Tuesday. He says
that the serious effect of the strike is
wearing away and that business is get
ting back to its normal condition. He
thinks that the strike will do much to
hurt the influence of the union organiza-
tions there, as n good many men who
have gone back TO their old places with
glad hearts have expressed a desire to
have little or or no more to do with
them. The men admit that there was
really no cause for striking and that
they have been greatly out of pocket by
the strike. Mr.. Mueller believes there
will be no trouble in Two Rivers here

THE EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS
NEEDED FOR A OPERA
HOUSE ALMOST IN SIGHT

Carl Hanson made brief visit to the
Cream City on Saturday last and return
ed with several substantial subscriptions
for the opera house.
The signatures now number about 400
and if each one of this number had sub
scribed for tickets the amount neces-
sary to get the opera house would be as-
sured. There are "a considerable number
of persons who have put their names
down for one ticket who will certainly
need two on the night of the opening of
the amusement place. All of them
should send thesr names in for another
ticket as it is proposed to give subscrib-
ers the first choice of tickets and for as
many as they have subscribed to- The
subscription list now represents about
$6, 800 and it is believed that the advance
sale of seats was begun at once there
would be more than IS, 600, the amount
needed.
Some persons have suggested in
place of the bust of Shakespeare in plas-
ter or stucco which usually appears over
the proscenium arch of theaters, that
the bust of Carl Hanson be substituted
for his indefatigable efforts in behalf of
the enterprise.

Rudolph Geisler's Experience With
Kings of Feathered Tribe.
BIRDS ARE NOW SHOWN IN THE PARK.
Hugh Tree Felled Before the Birds Were
Caught.
rHr Old EAGLES ESCAPED UNINJURED.
After the Contractors Son Had Made PrisOR'
ers of the Birds he Was Offered $40.
for Them but Preferred to Give
Them to the Park.

Before the two eagles which are now
in Washington Park, We're placed in
captivity, they gave their captor some
trouble. The American birds are but
young and the story shows they were
loval To their sire and the home ne had
constructed in the summit of huge
tree about enc mile west of Algoma,
Door county.
Rudolph Geisler, son of Contractor
(teisler. who is fond of hunting has
particular penchant for bringing down
eagles. but up until recently he has not
been eminently successful rs an eagle
hunter He determined, however to
make desperate effort TO get ut least
one of the birds, SO he started out not so
very long ago to Door county to search
for good speciman of the king OF the
feather tribe
When Mr.. Gei"' | the spot
where the twt had their
home in the little idea
that he was s,s'ne, but his
keen eye spotted n monster old bird,
perched high upon stout branch which
reached out from the trunk. 1t sat, rs
it were II sentry, guarding priceless pro-
perty. The hunter in minute opined
the cause of the big birds sedulous
watchfulness. He scanned through the
branches and saw an immense nest,
That meant disaster to the parent birds
Mr. Geisler Immediately decided what
as best and soon an aX was vigorously
plying against the trunk of the tree and
in little time it fell with crash and
the young birds came down, but the old
ones flew away disconsolate.
They were then taken in charge and
Mr.. Geisler took them in to Algoma and
was offered $40 for the pair, but he re
fused the money, and bringing them to
this city made them present to the
park.

A few minute lates he was seen to

that had .eeme., to attract his attention
he walked quickly toward Judge Ander
soa' ~ Eo1.a. OAe or tWo Stranger were
there, and after Arthur had excused
himself he said suavely and in an in
quiring tone of voice;
Judge, can You tell me who wrote

That is some of the rawlings of Pitch

BY inadvertance the name of Fred
Eggert was ommitted from the list of
Republican aspirants for the nomination
of sheriff. Mr.. Eggert is an avowed
candidate, and it is said he is backed by
not few staunch friends and may
make quite race when the convention
is on. He is city candidate, living in

energetic canvass, and he reports that
he has more than Fl ghting chance for

LOUIS G. BOHMRICH ON THE PLATFORM.
Kenosha's Candidate for GubernatoraI Honors on
the Democratic ticket Speaks With tTervor the
Three great Issues of the Campaign, namely
Imperialism, MiIitarism and Trusts.

In response to II letter asking l.. &.
Bohmrich for his views concerning the
Kansas City platform he writes for The
Pilot stirring letter. Mr.. Bohmrich is
spoken of aS a likely nominee for gov
ernor ON the Democratic ticket, hence
his views are timely and interesting.
Mr.. Bohmrich lives in Kenosha and has
Il large and lucrative legal practice. He
says
ITO the Editor of The Pilot: In nly
judgment the Kansas City platform
sounds an Americanism full of devotion
to the teachings of the fathers and full
of the music of American liberty, such
as would have moved to conviction, from
the days of Washington to Mr.. McKin-
ley's criminal aggression" each and
every human being claiming proud al
legiance to old glory. In justice to the
American people one may not expect
any divergence of that spirit, except
perhaps in the hearts Of those whose
sense of patriotism is already decreased
by the blighting hand of corruption and
whose conscience keeper is the 'clink of
the coin; and also perhaps in the minds
of those for whom we well may pT y

know not what they do

MANlTOWOC MERCHANTS
HANDICAPPED BY ACTION
OF CHICAGO HOUSES,

A considerable portion of business
men are stirred up over the action of
Chicago wholesale houses. The state,
ment is made that agents of these CON
Germs have been in the city and county
and have taken large orders from farm
ers and others for groceries and other
supplies
The method is to represent to the
farmer that he can get these articles at
wholesale prices and save the retail
dealers profit. The goods are shipped
i'll freight cars and each man who pur-
chases is notified that the car will be
here or at some other point at such a
date. Those who have ordered goods
then come here or go to other places
and the stock is distributed. 1t is said
by this scheme that great deal of trade
which should come to Manitowoc goes
to Chicago.
Business men here allege that the
prices are not wholesale and that gen
orally inferior goods are sold.
Suggestions have been made, which
might if carried ont, result in stopping
this scheme. Business men say tn, y pay
taxes and buy what the farmer brings
to town and it is only just that some
be applied Some sort of tax
alton upon the Chicago jobbers goods,
they think, would bring about the de
sired result,

NO SITE HAS
NO SITE HAS
YET BEEN CHOSEN
FOR THE CITY HALL.

At the meeting of the Council com
mittee appointed to look up a site for a
city hall reported a large number of
suitable sites There was IA considerable
discussion as to whether the building
should be located on the South or North
side. Mayor Rahr suggested that the
city hall be placed on the South side
and the proposed central high school
building be placed on the North side
The proposition was also made to have
the county and city join hands and
build fine 800, 600 structure in place
of the present county courthouse. The
matter was laid over until next meeting.
