Slander Case Involving Parties
in MishiCOt.
Several Other Proposed Suits Have
Been Settled.
T IS NOT A LARGE JURY LIST,
The Court VIII Try all the Suits Sched-
uled Between Kerstens and Zech-
Other Court News.

Circuit court opened on Tuesday,
Judge Kirwan presiding, thirty-eight
cases being on the calendar to be tried
The court was engaged the larger part
of yesterday listening to testimony in
the case of Joseph Skelenars vs. Henry
Pentzien. The suit is civil one,
Skelenars seeking redress in the sum of
$4,000 for alleged slander, in which he
was involved. There are other suits of
like nature instituted by Mr.. Skelenars.
The parties all live in the northern end
of the county. The first case called at
the June term of Circuit Court, that of
Peter Breckheimer vs.. Frank Musiel,
was settled. The court sustained
motion for non-suit in the action.
Settlement that has been made of
several cases slated for trial at the
present term has reduced the jury cal.
endar to eleven cases to be heard and il
is probable that the number will not
exceed nine.
There are several cases between Zech
and Kerstens growing out of the Chill
ton bank failure. All the cases, how
ever, will be heard by the judge.

that were offered.
BY THE CITY OF MANIT0W0C
the Banks Proposition Considered
Fair One.
MANY OTHER OFFERS WERE REJECTED
Many Improvements for Streets were au
thorized-Speed of Trains to be
Limited in City Limits.

The issue of $25. 600 city bonds were
purchased by the Manitowoc Savings
Bank, John Schuette, president, at par
and the city gets the money. The
Savings Bank is always to the fore in
civic matters of this kind. Several
other Offers from outside financial
houses were made for che bonds, but
the council considered the Savings
Bank proposition as the faiIost, hence
it was unanimously accepted. The
Bank of Sheboygan offered to take the
issue at $24, $500, below par, and S. A.
Kean, we'll known bond broker of
Chicago N sde conditional bid offering
a small bonus if the bonds were made
to bear per cent and providing that
the legality of the issue was estab'
lished
At the council meeting ON Monday
night humorous street improvements
reports were brought in, the most i'm.
portant of which was proposed or
dinance vacating the south Lake Shore
road for the benefit of the Lake Shore
Land & Improvement Co. The ordi'
nance includes a condition, however,
the vacation will be made only after
the opening of Eighth street from Di'
vision TO Green street. Improvement
of Eighth street between Madison and
Division WAS favored by report sent
in and petition was granted for the
Improvement of Division street between
Fourteenth and Eighteenth streets.
Speed of railway trains within the city
limits is to be regulated by an ordinance
authorized at the meeting. Six miles
an hour is the limit.

ON MONDAY MORNING.

Justice Falge asks The Pilot to say
for him that he gives an invitation to
anyone who wishes to walk to Reeds
vile to join him at the depot of the
Chicago q Northwestern railroad at
o'clock on Monday morning. Mr.. Falge
is nearly 81 years old, but he says a
walk of twenty-one miles is easy and he
wants to prove it. Anyone who chooses
to go with him will have their expenses
paid, and it hardly nee be said that the
agile justice Of the peace will do the
houors without stint.
Justice Falge says he will certainly

MEDICAL COLLEGE
OF MILWAUKEE
ENTIRELY INDICATED

The Milwaukee Medical College, IN
which several Manitowoc men are inter-
ested, has been entirely exonerated from
charges preferred by once defunct,
but lately resurrected County Medical
society. The state Medical board,
while saying in some minor points, the
college may have erred, vet on the whole
the institution has conformed to legal
requirements and deserves the unstinted
support which Wisconsin and the North
west can give it.
1t need hardly be said the charges had
their origin in venom, but jealousy this
time, was put out in the cold by the
Medical board. The news in this city
of the vindication of the college was
hailed with great satisfaction. The fol-
lowing is culled from this mornings
Sentinel:
After prolonged session lasting
from o'clock yesterday afternoon to
II clock last night, the Wisconsin state
Board of Medical Examiners unanimous
ly adopted report upon the investiga-
ton of the charges made against the
Milwaukee Medical college by the Mil
waukee County Medical society. The
report practically exonerates the man.
agement of the college from most OF the
charges preferred by the society. Some
exception is taken to its management
and it is declared that the college and
those in control shall conform strictly
to the spirit and the letter of the law in
the future
THE report is as follows:
we find that the Milwaukee Med
ical college is living enterprise and in
stitution of learning which Milwaukee
and the state of Wisconsin should be
proud of and take pride in its welfare,
if properly conducted.
Second We find that some of the
charges of irregularity that have been
brought against the Milwaukee Medical
college are based on facts though not
necessarily committed with any inten-
tion of evading the law.
"'Third. We find that certain dis
crepancies in the manner of graduating
the students from the college, brought
out by the heinvestigation, are not in them
selves sufficient evidence of a habitual
and intentional disobedience of medical
laws, although they are subject to criti'
cism.
" Fourth. We find further from the
evidence brought out during the investi.
CATION that the charges are overdrawn
and though not wholly disproven are OF
such nature that some must be con-
s.dered coniectural.
:" Fifth. We find that these charges
are considered timely and justifiable in
an attempt to abrogate or improve ex'
listing conditions in college.
Sixth. This board will insist in
the future that those in control of the
college shall strictly conform to the
and the letter of the law"

shore of Lake Michigan. The pale-faces
were made much of, and like most of
the early French, they became the good
friends of the Indians, who feasted them
boiled beaver, fish and dog; and wild
rice they had in plenty. They visited
the villages of the savages, hunted the
deer and elk with them, and fished in
the clear waters of the lake They re-
ceived visitors from interior and remote
tribes, from whom they learned much
of the forests and streams toward the
west. The following spring they pro-
ceeded in the direction Of the setting
sun, through the deep mysterious wild
erness, following the footsteps Of Mic
ollet to the site of Portage, thence north
westward, and eventually they were
the discoverers of the Mississippi Riv-
er. ~.

Do a Great Deal of Damage in
Northern End.
RAINFALLS HAVE BEEN HEAVY.
Which Marks a Record in the County
History.
HOUSES FLOODED PROPERTY DESTROYED
Narrow Escapes Family Had to be
Taken From Home ia a B0at-Roads
Were in Bad Condition.

The recent rains caused gre ! deal of
damage throughout the county. Peter
Korneley said that he never remembered
since settling at Kingsbridge to have
noticed the lands in such bad condition
as they were the early part of this week.
Creeks and rivers rose rapidly, doing
great damage everywhere. About
100, 900 shingles belonging to August
Rhode of Mishicot were carried away,
J. G.. Scheuerer, the Mishicot brewer,
found on awakning on Tuesday morning
that his ice house was completely
wrecked and portions of his brewery
were flooded Several homes in Mishi-
cot and in the northern end of the
county were submerged. August
Drews, of Mishicot, rescued the Leven-
hagen family by boat from their water
logged home.
Tisch Mills has suffered greatly from
the rains, and in the southern portion
Of the county, especially in Liberty,
Osman and Cleveland much damage
was done
Three bridges near Mishicot have
been injured, necessitating the Com
mittee on Roads and Bridges to make
investigation and order repairs.
All the county roads were rendered
almost impossible the first two days of
the week. though they are in better
shape now. This springs freshet marks
somewhat of an era in the county.

LUTZS HAD LUCK.
City Hall Elevator Man Misses
Dickinson Outing and Does
Double Duty.

William Bellfeld and P. J. B. Lutz,
the elevator men at the City Hall, were
both anxious to have days fun on the
Dickinson outing, but one of them had
to remain on duty, so the Democratic
officials and clerks wouldn't have to walk
up and down stairs.
They decided to draw lots for the pri-
vilege of getting leave of absence. Two
pieces of paper, on one of which was writ
ten s.off'' and on the other "on,' We're
placed in hat and the men drew.
Bellfeld almost danced jig when he
captured the ''off'' slip. He Immediately
cleared out and left the elevators to
Lutz.
As Richard Flanagan, the mailman,
also went with the Dickinsons, Lutz had
to act as mailman, fagman, elevator man
and ice man. He incidentally acted as
assistant engineer.
