THE EIGHTH STREET BRIDGE
To be Turned With Electricity Hereafter
Motor Installed

The old method of turning the bridge
by hand is to be done away with. A
force of men are now at work putting
in an electric motor that will do the
work hereafter. The power to operate
the machine is to be furnished by the
street car line. The new motor will en-
able the bridge tender to open and close
the bridge much more rapidly and to
save time to the people. Under the
present system the bridge tender begins
the work of opening about the time .
boat enters the harbor and it very often
causes a person to wait from 10 to 10
minutes before the bridge is back In
position. Won't Chas. Brandt, the
keeper of the Main Street bridge, look
envlous.

LIGHTNING FLASH AND STORM
Play Havoc With Country Property Peter
Kaufman Loses Barn and Granary

The storm at Manitowoc Tuesday
afternoon was one of the heaviest storms
that ever passed over this section. The
lightning flashed constantly and every
fash seemed to have struck some where.
Shortly before o'clock the barn of
Peter Kaufman on his farm outside of
Two Rivers was struck and kindled.
The fire spread to the granary and all
the buildings were consumed. The loss
is heavy but partly covered by insur-
ance
The plant of the traction company
was struck, burning out an armatuer
and delaying traffic on the street cars
for some time.
The chair factory and the house of
George Pilon at Two Rivers were also
struck but not igniting caused little
damage.
The barns and granary of farmer
named Shedaway near Tans were struck
and burned to the ground with all the
contents causing a loss Of about $1,000.
The storm was not only at Manitowoc
but throughout the whole state and
seems to have waged with equal fierce
ness all over. Our boys in camp getting
caught in it and were drenched before
gaining shelter.

reluctance to trusting the case to the
New York courts.

reluctance to trusting the case to the
New York courts.
An extremely interesting situation
has been precipitated by the Presidents
action in the case of w A. Miller, as
sistant foreman in the bookbinding de-
partment of the Public Printers Office
1t appears that Miller incurred the dis
pleasure of the local bookbinders union
and was expelled. Public Printer Palm
er, when notified of this fact, promptly
discharged Miller but he appealed to
the Civil Service Commission and to the
President and, the former finding that
there was no warrant for his discharge
on the ground named, the President or
dered his reinstatement. The Public
Printers office has long been union
Office" and the bookbinders Immediately
held a meeting and drew up petition
which they forwarded to the President
representing that the grounds on which
Miller was expelled from the union
were ample TO warrant his discharge
and while they appreciate that he could
not be discharged because he has been
expelled from the union, they urged
that he be discharged for the same rea-
sans that impelled the unions action.
Incidentally, however, the union gave
the President notice that none of their
members could work in the office with
q non union man and that if he were to
return to Washington and resume his
duties they would walk out on a
strike" What the outcome will be is
not known but there are grave indica
tions that the President is likely to find
himself in very delicate position and
one likely to lose to him the support of
ell organized labor.

The trouble is anybody is appointed

Crocker's work has been poor. Frank

months and is not done yet, while the
portions that are done are not showing
good work. Crosswalks at many places

DAMAGES LAWNS AND FIELDS
Great Quantities of Grubs Destroy The
Roots of The Grass
WHITE GRUBS
(Lachnosterna. Sp.)

The insects popularity known as
white grubs are very numerous this
year and are damaging pastures, hay
fields and lawns. These grubs are the
larvae of one or two species of May
beetles (June bugs, which fly about
dwellings during the warm evenings Of
May.
LIFE HISTORY. The beetles appear
during the early part of May and soon
after the females deposit their eggs
among the roots of grasses and other
succulent plants. These eggs hatch and
the young grubs begin to feed on the
roots. During the latter part of sum
mer the grubs reach maturity and con
struct rude chambers or cocoons in
which they transform into perfect
beetles The beetles do not leave the
ground until the following spring, when
the same round of life is repeated.
Some species of white grubs require two
years to mature
APPEARANCE OF THE GRUBS. If
the grubs are present in sufficient mum
Der, the root system of the plants is
completely devoured and the plants die.
The eating capacity of these grubs il
enormous. A single grub will devour
more than its own weight Of food in q
day The presence of the grubs which
! is not noticeable until considerable
damage has been done, is indicated by
the gradual witbering and drying up
of the sod. The top layer of the sod, to
the depth of about two inches, is separa
ted from the rest OF the roots SO that il
may be rolled up like blanket,
Ordinarily the grubs are not present
in sufficient number to cause noticeable
damage, being kept in check by para
sites and birds. The ravages by this
pest is now at it's height in many places
and within short time the grubs will
be full grown and enter into the pupa
stage, after which they do not feed on
the roots Whether the presence Of the
grubs this year will cause an epidemic
next year, depends upon weather condi
tions and parasites.
REMEDIES. Since the grubs feed un
der ground, the application of Pari,
green and other arsenious poisons is not
practicable Infested pastures and
meadows should be fall.plowed. rather

Kaiser Case is Strengthened Out

The case Of Lawrence Kaiser who died

both making claims to be his wife and

certified copy of adivorce from the first
woman in 1870, granted at Switzerland.
