NEARING A DECISION.
Arguments Heard in Suits 'Xs5airnsz,
Custer County.

Last Friday arguments were, heard
in the supreme court at Helena on
two cases appealed from the district
court OF Custer county which are OF
more than ordinary interest, as upon
their decision depends matter of
importance to almost every county
in the state. In each case the county
OF Custer is the defendant and the
question at issue is the right OF the
county to collect certain taxes, i'm
posed upon livestock owned by for
elgn companies. The plaintiffs and
appellants are the Western Ranches
company, limited, and the Matador
Land and Cattle company.
The actions were instituted for the
recovery OF back taxes, paid under
protest. by the plaintiffs AT the time
the payments were made the COM
panies alleged that the taxes were
excessive and Illegal for the reason
that they were taxed for more cattle
than they really had in the county
at the time they were assessed, and
that the assessor had raised their
respective assessments without Civ
ing proper notice to the plaintiffs.
In the case ofthe Western Ranches
company recovery 1915 is demanded.
while the other company is suing for
$1,000.
Questions at Issue,
Several questions figure prominently
in the appeal. One is whether the
remedy of the plaintiffs was in pay
ing under protest, as was done, or
whether the proper remedy would
have been to enjoin the county from
the collections Still another
is whether the companies did not !
waive the irregularity in the assess
ment they complain OF when they
appeared before the county board OF
equalization, while anotner involves
the validity of senate bill No. 60 of
the legislative assembly of 1895. In
the latter instance the allegation is
made that the bill is unconstitutional
because OF a defect in the title, which
is IAN Act Providing for Unlawful
Levy and Collection of Public Reve-
nue." In the bill for the law the title
provides for a remedy for the un-
lawful levy and collection of this reve.
nue., but in the title of the enrolled
and signed bill the word remedy"
was omitted.
Both suits being practically alike,
hey We're argued together. M. S.
lunn appeared for the appellants and
2. W. Mettler, first assistant attor-
ley general of the state, represented
he respondent. The latter asked per.
mission of the court to submit an
additional brief in the matter, but
lis request was denied.
Associate Justice Milburn was dis
qualified from sitting in the cases,
having been interested as one of coun-
'el in the original hearing.

In All Such Cases Heard Last Year
Not a Husband Appeared
as Plaintiff.

Seemingly the men of Yellowstone
county are exceptionally fortunate in
the matter OF selecting partners with
whom to share the ups and downs
incident to married life, or else they
are endowed to marked degree with
the virtues OF patience and forbear-
ance, if they are not calloused and
indifferent to some OF the minor ills
that come to all men. Accept which
you will OF these predicates, for the
record shows that, whatever the cause,
they are not given to patronizing the
divorce courts Unfortunately for them
the same may not be said of their
spouses, as they have given rise to
all the divorce proceedings that were
instituted in the county during the
period that newspapers were dated
1902.

statistical bureau, or, as it is techni-
cally known, the bureau OF agricul-
ture, labor and commerce. Under the

ing the time covered by the report
II divorces were granted by the court.
In all the wife was the plaintiff.

ties 113 marriage licenses were grant
ed. 1t is here where the men took
the lead. Every one of the whole
number of permits to wed was grant
ed on the application OF man.

added 16 full fedged citizens to the
population of the county. Divided
by nationalities naturalizations were
granted as follows: Canadians, 4;

PALM SUNDAY AND
HOLY WEEK WILL
BE OBSERVED HERE

Palm Sunday will be observed next
Sunday in the Catholic churches of the
county with elaborate ceremonies. In
each of the churches palms will be
blessed before the last mass and dis
tributed among the congregation. This
is an old time custom and symbolizes
the triumphal entry of Christ into
Jerusalem just before the tragic events
occurred which eliminated in His
crucifxion. The Episcopal church also
celebrates this event with striking
ceremonies. Next week being Holy
week. the seven days preceding the
festival of Easter, special services will

Talking of Selling This Popular
ManitOWOc Resort
STEINBRECHERS WISH TO GIVE 1T UP
II May be Sold And Used as a
SanitarIum
ESPECIALLY FOR cONsUMPTIvE PATIENTS
An Ideal Resort Which Has Been Greatly
Favored by Those Seeking Enjoy
ment in The Summer

The Caves hotel at Cooperstown may
soon change hands, the Steinbrecker
family who own and run it, have been
looking for purchasers, and if they can
enter into deal the hotel will be trans
ferred to some other parties
The hotel has been a rendevouz for
Manitowoc people during the spring,
summer and autumn, many persons 60
ing there to enjoy the beauty OF the sur
roundings, and gather rest from the en-
yironment. The management of the
hostelery was in charge of Mrs. Stein
brecker, but Father Steinbrecker OF
Kaukauna, was somewhat interested IN
the property.
When the information leaked out
that the property was to be sold the nope
was generally expresse1 that the new
owners would continue-it as hotel
though this may not be the case. 1t
has been suggested that the Caves hotel
would make an excellent sanitarium,
especially for consumptives and shouio
the state embark on the project OF ac-
quiring sanitarium for consumptlves
an effort may be made to induce the
state to acquire this property. 1t Is
said the air and general surroundings
would do much to help this class OF per-
sons to the restoration of good health.
There is one objection, however, urged
against the use Of the Caves hotel for
sanitarium purposes, and that is that 1t
is not quite as accessible as it should be
for persons in poor health, otherwise 1t
would be al ideal place.
Should the Caves hotel be turned IL
way from it's present use it will be a
sore disappointment to thousands OF
persons IN the country especially for
those who, Sunday by Sunday wended
their way to this spot to revel in the
sylvan beauties so lavish there.

HIGH SCHOOL
PROJECT IS UP
NOrthSide School Board Taking
Options on Property
MAY ENCOUNTER SOME OPPOSITION
A Communication Showing That There
Will be Fight
MAY ENCOUNTER SOME OPPOSITION
TALK AGAIN OF A CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL
II. L. Markham and Thos E. TOrrisOn Ad-
nit Something Will Be D0ne-The
First Definite Move

The Northside School board proposes
to erect a new building for school pur-
poses and with this end in view has Sc
cured several options on property con-
tiguous to Park School house. 1t was
very generally rumored that the North
side directors would build structure
for high school purposes alone as this
is thought necessary.
The news that such move was con-
templated nas aroused the Southside
people to s1s Jest that the city have a
central high school, fully equipped, in
charge of competent teachers and &C
cessible to all the young people who are
now in the high schools.
H. L. Markham, one of the directors,
admitted that options had been secured
on property, but he added that nothing
definite had been done by the board and
he was not certain just what purpose
the new building would be put to. He
said he would be in favor of central
high school, if it could be governed by
members of u Central board, each mem
Der representing d school district, and
that politics would not enter into the
election. Thos. E. Torrison also frankly
stated that a move is on foot for the
erection of another school house The
following communication to The Pilot
relative to this subject is herewith
printed:
EDITOR PILOT: "It does not seem tc
be generally known by the taxpayers
that the Northside School board has an
option on the vacant property opposite
Mr.. Spindler's residence to build q
high school building on it for the North
side exclusively. Now we will concede
that a high school is needed, but il
should be for the whole city, and not
put upon the shoulders Of the North
side taxpayers. The taxes are high
enough BOW, without any such
extravagent move on the part of the
the Second Ward School board. Those
who are not in favor of being taxed fol
thier enterprise, had better be prompt tc
attend the school meeting in April, wher
the matter will be voted on. Women't
vote count as well as mems in schoo
matters 30 there will probably be quite
a meeting when the affair is to be put
to vote" A TAXPAYER.

BY carrying through the compromise
DR.. w. G. Kemper will be elected
mayor and John Mahnke city treasurer,
The Republican convention last Satur.
day endorsed the Democratic nomi-
nation for mayor and the Democratic
convention endorsed the Republican
nomination for city treasurer. This is
an arrangement which has met with
unusual favor by all citizens irrespective
Of party and the two gentlemen are as
good as elected. Both men promise to
serve the city faithfully and intelligent
ly in their respective offices.
Since the compromise was effected
there has been considerable talk rs to
who will get the Offices. The mayor
practically has only tho appointment Of
two men, the chief of police and the
chief of the fire department coming
under the civil service rule, and there
is no likelihood Of either of these men
being supplanted by new men. DR..
Kemper will then have the appoint
ment of city engineer and city attorney.
On the day following his election DIR.
Bemper says he will announce these
appointments Mr.. PITT is at present
city engineer and Ed L. Kelley city
attorney and member of the Board Of
Public Works. For the city attorney
ship several applicants desire the place.
Mr.. Kelley wishes 10 retain the Office
which he has held for nearly three
years and requests have been made to
DR.. Kemper to continue him in office.
John Healy, q Democrat, and young
att torney, also hopes he may be chosen
for this office He was the Democratic
nominee, in the last election, for the
Office of district attorney. The name
of Edward s. Schmitz has also been
prominently mentioned as likely
person to receive the appointment, but
as yet the doctor has not made his will
known.
DR.. Kemper wishes The Pilot to say for
him that he will be in the city Office
after his assumption Of civic duties
from o'clock until o'clock daily and
all persons wishing to transact business

ON THE FIRST OF MAY

The governor has issued his Arbor
Day proclamation, the date being set
for May /, and in it he suggests that
all the schools of the state will appro-
priately observe it. Heretofore Arbor
Day has not been generally observed
in Manitowoc county, though the Gus
tom is beautiful and instructive one.
The idea of tree planting brings TO the
children the mystery and glory of nature
as reflected in forest and field and it
would be wise to follow the governor 8
suggestion and hold proper ceremonies,
fitting the day.
