WHO WANTS A BOY?

Elmer Groll, a bright lad, IA years of
age, needs a home. At present he has
none. His grand parents with whom he
has been staying can care for him no
longer, and he needs home. His father
is ill., in care of the city, and his mother
has been dead since he was babe.
AT present Judge Chloupek has the
lad in custody and ne has no place TO
put him. Any kind hearted person can
take the bright boy, who otherwise will
have to go to the reform school. The
only fault Elmer has, is dislike for school,
caused by not tending regularly when
small, and now he is behind his fellow
students. Who wants the boy

SALARY Is INCREASED.

Beginning with July lst the salary of
the post master of the Manitowoc post
office will be S2SO0 per year instead of
S21oO as it is now. The larger Salary
comes AZ a result of the increase in the
post'office receipts, this being the basis
upon which it is computed
Postmaster Riley of the Two Rivers
office gets decrease in salary of from
$4,000 to S9lOO, the decrease in receipts at
his office being due to the fact that much
of the advertising matter formerly dis.
tributed by mail by the Manufacturing
firms of Two Rivers, is now sent out by
express.

CANNING SEASON is LATE.

The backward spring will cause de-
lay in the opening of the canning sea
son of about two weeks, and ~ q result
the work of canning peas will not be
begun until about July -, according to
present indications. In former years
the work was begun about July 1st.
From reports received present indica.
tions are that the crop will be about as
large as the average, the only trouble
liable to result from the late season
being that the peas will all ripen at or
about the same time, thus taxing the
facilities of the factories to handle them.

A STINGING LETTER

When County Judge James Gould was informed this morning by Miss Jewell Pipkin, young lady school teacher, who has a school at Noble Lake, Victoria township, this coun director of that township mad or dered her to discontinue her schoo! because, he said, there were nc funds in the treasury of that school district to redeem the school war rants, that official become indignant and wrote the negro letter, which will probably make him a little milder in his future actions.
 The letter is about as poor a specimen of manuscript that could be written and is most abrupt and ineXplicict. The negro says that it has been custom for the schools of that district to remain in ses sion nine months, but that the white school would have to discon- tinue now to enable the colored schools to remain in sessio, throughout the year.
 Miss Pipkin merely forwarded inc letter to County Judge Gould. She has been conducting school 2. Noble Lake for white puni1s for only six months this year, under contract with Floyd Jarvis, one of the white school directors of That district, and the authority taken oy the negro school director in Writing the young lady sucb lot ter ana taking upon himself the privilege of ordering the white school discontinued is more tb.n 'ie1eosable. Judge Gould's letter follows:

 rector, Victoria township:
