There is going on at the present
time a steady advance in the strength
of the metal used in guns, says John
f. Meigs in the Scientific Americans
special number on iron and steel.
The elastic strength of metal now
commonly used in larger guns is about
So 900 pounds per square inch, and in
the smaller guns it runs as high as
$4,000 pounds per square inch. This,
however, is used only as an additional
margin of safety, largely because the
recoil of guns when fired is so great
now, and the reaction thereby set up
in the carriage is so severe that no.
thing would be gained by tightening
the gun. Tightening the gun would
only mean putting additional weight,
and perhaps weight greater than
that saved, in the gun-carriage and
foundation Many are of the opinion
that the advance in the strength of
gun steel should be pushed further,
but it would be hard to do this with
out lowering to some extent the
elongation asked for in the metal at
rupture. This now runs in the neigh
borhood of Is to rs per cent, and it
could wisely be lowered for the sake
of gaining a harder and stronger
metal, because the entire operation
of the gun is within it's elastic limit.
When it moves outside of this and
becomes permanently enlarged, a
comparatively slight enlargement
would give warning, and the gun
would be laid aside and not used any
more

women E4eeutea For treason.

Two women suffered the death pen
atty for political offenses in England
in the year 1856. One of these, Mrs.
Alicia Lisle, gave friendly shelter to
two fugitive rebels after the battle of
Sedgemoor. She defended herself with
much ability, pointing out that, as the
men themselves had not been convicted
of treason, she could not be considered
an accomplice. Jeffreys, the notorious
judge, overruled this plea and. having
caused her to be found guilty, sentenc-
ed her to be burned alive. A petition
procured for her the less terrible doom
of death by the ak.
The other victim, who was tried a
few days later, was Elizabeth Gaunt,
an elderly Baptist, who had assisted
one Burton, who was concerned in the

DEATH OF CLARA
SCHNEIDER REMOVES AN
EXCELLENT YOUNG WOMAN

Clara Schneider was born Jan, 6,
1877, being 26 years of age at .he time
of her death. She bore her part in the
worlds work filling with satisfaction
and credit the position of stenographer
in large Milwaukee establishment,
until about year and half ago, when
she resigned owing to failing health
During last fall, she suffered an attack
of pleurisy from which she never fully
recovered.
In her early death the loss to family
and friends is very great. To them she
stood for all that was beautiful and
symmetrical in character. AS the rose
in its sweet perfection appeals to the
heart of mankind, so did her personal
beauty and sweetness of disposition
affect the hearts of friends. A sad
fragrant memory to those who mourn
today, she bloometh fair and strong in
the garden of Gcd
Interment took place Tuesday, the
Rev. S. R, S. Gray officiating. Regard

of friends including many from this

DR.. CURRENS OF
TWO RIVERS TO
ARGUE PROVISO

DR.. Currens, of Two Rivers, as presi-
dent Of the state Board of Medical Exam
iners, was at Madison to have the legis-
lature insert proviso in the law under
which the board was created that will
allow it to turn money into the state
treasury and afterwards draw it ont
when shortage occurs. Under the
present law the surplus must be turned
over at the end of the year, and is per-
manently absorbed by the state. Asan
instance of how the law works, DR..
Currens says that two years ago the
board turned over $1,000 to the state,
while last year unexpected contingen-
cies absorbed 80 much money that the
board came out in debt, and he wants to
have the law changed 80 that in such
cases, the board can call on the state
for the amount of its surplus deposit.

NEW LIBRARY IS
NOW ASSURED
Council Passed Ordinance Making
Annual Appropriation
CARNEGlE'S GIFT MAY BE ENLARGED
From the $4,000 Promised by Further
Donation of $4,000
THE HAMMERNIcK SITE IS AGREED UPON
The Library Board has Absolute Power in
the Selection of LOcation-End
Of the Subject

The city council passed an ordinance
last Friday appropriating $25OO annual
ly for the support of the library, which
action assures the gift of Andrew
Carnegie of f25 600 for the erection of II
building. The aldermen who voted
acted simply on the appropriation, the
question of sit being left to the judg-
ment Of the Library board as provided
by the statutes.
The new library will be a very accept
able acquisition 10 the county as well as
to the city because the county residents
will have equal privileges with the city
people in getting all the advantages
which it offers.
The site for the library has practically
been chosen though not officially. The
library board has secured an option on
the Hammenick site, located at the june
tion of Chicago and Eighth streets.
This is an admirable spot for the pur-
pose. 1t is central and rs easily reached
by the Southside people as by the
Northside people. The ground will
cost 50, 600 but there will be saved from
salvage about 81 600, thus the net cost
Of the site will be about SS 600.
A number of archltec ts are at work
on plans for the structure and these will
be submitted for inspection at an early
day.
1t is understood that Mr.. Carnegie
may increase bis gift of S35, 600 to $50,
600, which if done will give the city a
much finer building The new build.
ing will add very much to the architect
usal beauty of the town.

EDWARD A. CONWAY
FORMERLY OF MANiTOWOC
WINS IMPORTANT CASE

Edward A. Conway, of the law firm
of Timlin, Glicksman & Conway, for
merly of Manitowoc, has won famous
case in court. Chas. Kirwan is also as
sociated in the Office of Timlin, Clicks
man & Conway. The Civil court Of
Duluth Mimi, last week rendered a
decision in favor of the plaintiff whom
MIR. Conway has represented in the long
drawn out litigation over the property
of Johann Mueller, who died not long
ago, leaving an l60-acre tract in the
north valued at many thousands of
dollars. The case, which has been in
the courts for many months, was bitter
ly contested by several claimants to
the property and attracted wide at
tention.
Attorney Conway returned a few
weeks ago from Europe, where he went
to secure evidence which would firmly
establish the identity of the Duluth
Mueller aid thus secure for the right
full claimants in Austria lie represented
the ownership of the property. He Sc
cured evidence proving conclusively
that the Detroit Mueller in no way re-
sembled Johann Mueller and was an
entirely different person.
The case, while liz progress, has cost
the opposing forces nearly $50, 900. Mr..
Conway said Saturday afternoon that
he did not believe that the defendant.
would take an appeal, 20 conclusive
was the proof.

Congress Will Be Asked for an
Appropriation
FOR PURPOSE OF BUILDING SEA WALL
Unprotected Lake Front Suffers From
Northeast Gale
LARGE AREA OF PROPERTY SUBMERGED
The City. Though Cognizant of the Injury
Has Not Yet Taken the Subject in
Hand

The encroachment Of Lake Michigan
upon some of the most valuable city
property of Manitowoc has become
such menace during the past year that
bill has been prepared by Congress
man James H. Davidson of this district,
asking an appropriation from congress
to successfully carry out a plan to rem
edy the evil Thousands of dollars OF
valuable land has been washed away in
the past ten years and property owners
who once possessed lots in the neigh
borhood where the encroachment was
the greatest, have seen their property
gradually submerged.
For the past year every effort has
been made to secure aid from the city
and the town of Manitowoc to build a
sea wall, and although the project has
been brought up innumerable times in
the city council, no definite action has
ever been taken. As d last resort a map
was prepared, showing the great a.
mount of damage done during the past
few years This was sent to Congress
man Davidson with a result that con-
gress will be asked to lend hand,
1t is claimed by some that the dam
age is caused by the construction of the
harbor breakwater and the extension
of the harbor piers, for the great volume
of water that rounds Two Rivers point
in northeast gales prevalent, especially
at this time of the year, vents its fury
upon the unprotected lake front portion
between this point and the harbor piers.
During these storms continuous cur
rent flows along the bank and washes
away the property.
Several persons, owning lots along
the lake front where the lake has
washed away their property, are paying
taxes annually on property under
water.
