The call for dinner was sounded at 3

The University club, at Fifth avenue and

club in the world, says a writer in the
Pilgrim. The land on which it's home stands
cost over $500. 900; the building itself more
than 1920 900. 1t requires the service of
200 servants, more than are employed in
any other New York club except in the
New York athletic, the number employed
by the Union being 115, and by the Metro
politan eighty. These servants cost the
University club in wages not quite $4,000
a year. To conduct such a club is a busl-

ESTABROOK MAY
GET A
COMPLEMENTARY VOTE

The following from the Milwaukee
Free Press is interesting because of c.
E, Estabrook, who is spoken of for con-
gressional nomination of the Fifth
district. The great strength of the
Stafford men, it is claimed, will not
only be shown upon the first ballot in
the convention, but, it is said, he will
grow in strength as he has the promise
Of the second choice of many of the men
who will be chosen delegates. 1t is
generally conceded that G. E. Esta-
brook will have the delegation from the
Thirteenth ward. Politicians do not
figure that he will have much strength
in the convention beyond the delega-
ton from his home ward, and it is
claimed the vote which will be given
him will be largely in the nature of a
compliment and that when the dele.
gates are finally lined up they will be
for Stafford"

TERM.
SUMMER
T WILL BE A BIG LEGAL BATTLE.

The suit of Kerstens VS. Zech involv-
ing property valued at $l92, 200 will be
tried by the Circuit court for this judi
cial district at the regular term Of the
court which opens in Manitowoc next
month. The suit grows out of the
failure of the Kersten bank at Chiffon
and it was first brought in the Circuit
court of Marinette and was removed to
this district on change Of venue.
1t was claimed that one of the chief
contributory causes of the Kerstens,
failure was the large amount of money
loaned the Zechs, and it is said that the
property now involved, if the suit is won,
will largely minimize the trouble of the
Kerstens.
The property lays chiefly in Marinette
and Oconto counties and there is some
property in Milwaukee.
The attorneys for the Kerstens are
Schmitz. O'Connor q Wild and for
Zechs, Hoyt & Olwell. Both law firms
are of Milwaukee.
1t is expected that the suit will be
fairly we'll drawn out and that it will
consume great deal of time allotted to
the June term Of the Circuit court,

Probable Action of the State
Brewers Association.
MATERIALS ARE VERY MUCH HIGHER
Labor Organization a Factor in In.
creased Price.
A PRECISE STATEMENT OF FACTS.
Consumers of Beer May be Given Smaller
Glasses TO Quench their Thirst
Way Out

The following communication has
been received by the Pilot.
Editor Pilot:
Within the last week articles have
appeared in our local papers stating
that the brewers in Manitowoc county
had combined with the brewers of the
state and of the Northwest and had
met with them in Chicago with the end
in view of raising the price of beer
We beg to state that this informant ~
was entirely without our knowledge
In order, however, that the public may
know the exact state of the matter we
wish to say that the brewers of Mani
towoc county have not met with the
other brewers of the state and have
not decided whether the price of beer
is going to be raised, although such
steps are contemplated by the state or
ganization. We can, however, say
with a great deal of assurance that the
price of beer is not going to be re
duced and the brewers have every
cause and reason to advance the price
Within the last few months brewing
material has increased in price fully 30
per cent. Coal is fully SOC more per
ton than it has been in recent years and
labor, owing to labor organizations, is
fully 30 per cent more than it has been
in former years, while barley which
was formerly bought at from 25c. to
40c bushel now sells at 55c. to zoe.
Owing to these various factors it has
been impossible to reduce the price and
it is very probable that if the state
brewers take action and raise the price
of beer that the brewers of Manitowoc
county will also follow suit
THE saloonkeeper ought also to be
protected, and we see no other way out
of this, than to have these additional
expenses come out of the consumer, and
this can be done by giving smaller
glasses.

the day before the national holiday.

DEMOCRATS TALK
OF NOMINATION
FOR SHERIFF

The talk of Democratic nominee for
sheriff is becoming general and candi-
dates have been suggested. 1t is certain
that Walter Pellet will again try for
the nomination. He secured it at the
last convention and made an admirable
fight for election, but for him the game
was hard and he lost, the Republican
wave being too strong. Walter has al
ways been p faithful Democrat and is
deserving we'll of the party.
Some rumor has il that John Egan
would like to be the nominee and Mish-
loot has candidate in August Dreves.
Speculation is rife as to whether Henry
Lehrman will be in the field, and
whether John A. Staudt intends to dc
battle for the nomination.

How Cheap Baking Powder is Made

The Health department of New York
has seized quantity of 50 called cheap
baking powder, which it found in that
city. Attention was attracted to it by
the low price at which it was being
sold in the department stores Samples
were taken and the chemist of the
Health department reported the stuff
to be IAN alum powder. which ana
lysis showed to be composed chiefly of
alum and pulverized rock
The powder was declared to be dan
gerous to health, and several thousand
pounds were carted to the offal dock
and destroyed
1t is unsafe to experiment with these
so-called cheap articles of food. They
are sure to be made from alum, rock,
or other injurious matter. In baking
powders, the high class, cream of tartar
brands are the most economical be-
cause they go farther in use and are
healthful beyond question.

SITES CONSIDERED
FOR NEW N0RTHSIDE
CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Several sites have been considered for
the new Catholic church to be erected
on the Northside. Among them the Villas
lots, in the rear of the Presbyterian
church, and lots on st. Claire street, not
far from John Schuette's new residence.
Just when a choice will be made the
committee is unwilling to say, AT
present the committee is looking for a
temporary building in which to hold
services. 1t was thought that the old
st. James church might be procured
but it cannot owing to John Kellner s
desire to use it rs a storehouse for ma
chinery.

Democratic Representatives from
the Eighth District.
TALKED OVER THE SITUATION.
James P. Nolan of This County Was
Present.
L. ]. NASWS NAME SUGGESTED.
II Was Received With Enthusiasm-He il
Said to be the Strongest Man
In the District.

Democratic chairmen of the counties
of the Eighth Congressional district met
at Oshkosh last Saturday; Chairman
James P. Nolan, of this county being
present. The meeting was projected
for the purpose of talking over the pros
poets of the forthcoming campaign, and
from what Mr.. Nolan says the chair
men of the respective counties antlci-
pated success in the next election.
1t has been discovered that while the
Eighth district was violently Republi-
can in the last election, yet sentiment
has veered right around and now favors
the Democrats. There are number Of
causes contributing to bring this around.
One of the main reasons being the split
in the Republican party, which will
affect the congressional as we'll as state
elections Other reasons known to the
Democrats but not generally known Will
have a salutary influence on Democrat
ic hopes.
The chairmen talked over candidates,
and when L. J. Nash's name was sug-
gested. it was received with unusual
zest. 1t was generally thought that a
better man could not be gotten in the
entire district than Mr. Nash, and the
unanimous belief was that he would
poll more votes than any other Demo
crat who could be mentioned, making ii
very brisk fight for whoever was his
opponent.
In the Eighth district the Republicans
will have hard time, 80 many men
wish to succeed James A. Davidson, hut
yet the latter wishes to succeed him
self.

the improvement Immediately after the
new steel was laid.
