Korean Omen Of Good Fortune.

The Koreans are greatly exercised
over the appearance OF a bamboo tree
through the cracks of the floor last
occupied by the late Gen. Min Yong
Whan. Since the suicide of the gen,
eral in November last the room has
been kept closed. and when the room
was opened two days ago the bamboo
had already attained the height OF
more than four feet.
The Koreans find parallel in this
phenomenon in an event that occurred
in Songdo 800 years ago, when a
patriot defending the emperor was
done to death on stone bridge Just
outside the city. Several months
after his death a bamboo spronted up
between the stones on the very spot
where the patriot had breathed his
last South China Post.

Luckily.

During the Spanish war, while the
battleships We're on blockade at San
tiago, it was customary to load the
six-pounder guns every evening to
protect against possible torpedoboat
attack. While the triggers were be
ing eased down, one of the guns on
the Massachusetts was accidentally
discharged, the shot passing over the
quarter deck of the Texas, which was
lying next in the blockading line. All
the officers of the Texas were on deck
smoking and talking when the shot
passed a few feet above their heads.
Almost before it struck the water
signal was started on the Texas from
it's commanding officer, Capt. Jack
Philips, to the commanding oflicer OF
the Massachusetts. The signal was,

SHOWS WHERE HE STANDS.

The following letter from Mr.. Charles
A. Groffman, democratic land republi-
cam candidate for Mayor, plainly shows
what stand he takes on the question OF
acquiring or constructing a municipal
water works system.
To the Voters of the City of Manitowoc:
Havir' the recent primary election
been h lwith the nomination for
Mayor, city l deem it my duty to
inform of my position upon the
questions W before the people.
l favor unicipal ownership of the
Water W. Is plant; and this to be
brought ab> 1t as quickly and peaceably
and at DIS lit lie expense as possible.
The building oe a new plant should be
last resort, because of the necessary
tearing up of streets and pavements, the
uncertainty of expense and the indefinite
postponement of municipal ownership
itself
The recept appraisal was voted down
because the price set upon the plant was
too high, a fact due entirely to the
present city administration. They ap-
parently did not want low appraisal.
The Water Works company presented
its case to the appraisers in its strongest
light. The city administration made no
showing whatever. They offered no
proof as to the condition of the plant; no
proof of what duplicate plant would
cost; no proof as to what the company's
bonds were selling at on market; no
proof of the value of the plant as fixed
before the Board of Review by the acting
manager of the plant. To make it
worse, they agreed to have the appraisal
in lump sum instead of in detail. In
plain words, the present city admins
tration, for purposes best known to it
self deliberately neglected its duty in
the recent appraisal, and | challenge
them to deny it.
| favor a new appraisal; at this new
appraisal each and every fact in regard
to the Water Works plant should be
brought to the attention of the apprais-
ers. Should price not satisfactory to
the people be the result, then pledge
myself to put in new plant, provided
the people so desire, l believing, at all
times, that the people and not the mayor
should rule
If our city is to prosper; it our real
estate is to be freed from heavy taxation;
if we are to get new enterprises; if our
labor is to be employed, it is necessary
that the city's business should be con-
Quoted in a sensible, straightforward
and just manner.
have no friends to reward no enemies
to punish. As native of this city am
anxious to promote its welfare and gain
industries. Instead of years of agitation
and litigation; years fraught with brok
en- promises; years during which the city
has been at a comparative standstill,
desire to see period of industrial prog
ress, and appeal to all citizens to work
together in harmony and public spirit
for the prosperity of all our people and
the improvement of our city.

A STRONG CANDIDATE.

Mr. William Willinger, democratic
candidate for city treasurer, will, in all
probability, poll large vote at next
Tuesdays election. Many of his numer-
ous friends predict that he will win ont
in the race for the treasurership. He
has not only the democratic support, but
also that of many electors not affiliated
with his party. This is due to his popu-
larity. He is capable and deserving of
confidence. He will make a good treas,
urer if elected.

Whose hearts are heavy and oppressed.
They laid her in the silent grave
And deCked her tomb with flowers tender:
Her loving friends the tribute gave
That to the mourners balm shall render.
The young soul that has tax n its flight
To "A realm devoid of grief
Shall strengthen thoughts of truth and right
With those who mourn her life so brief
Their hopes in future bliss shall grow,
From loving thoughts and burning tears
For her who did So early go
To whore there are no paugs and fears
