SOUTH SIDE COOPERATIVE
STORE GOES TO THE WALL.

The cooperative store on Washington
street, at the site of Carsten's store, is in
the process of being closed up.
This was occasioned by meeting of
the stockholders on Wednesday of last
week, who voted to place the store and
stock in charge of Dennis Healy, of the
firm of Schenian q Healy, as trustee
for the benefit of the creditors, who is
now in charge, the store being closed to
permit of course, of an inventory by the
trustee. The design, after the inventory,
will be to sell the stock in bulk, if not,
it must be retaled at an auction, and
the store and company closed ont.
Fifty of the eighty stockholders all
wanted this at the meeting on Wednes-
day, within the shortest possible time,
the German American bank being des-
iguated as custodian of the funds.
1t was calculated at this meeting,
that the plan would dispose of the stock
at the least expense, aud save most II
the creditors, without the considerable
court expense that might be involved.
In this store, whether partnership or
corporation, the stockholders, it is said
will be obliged to make good in full to
all the creditors. Ia that respect it is
extremely handy to creditors to have n
store constituted the way this one was.
1t is sincerely hoped that the present
trustee will be able to close out all the
business of his trust in speedy and
satisfactory manner; that all of the
to man, will come forth
and satisfy his prorata of this deficit to
creditors; and, that though those who
fostered the idea of cooperative store
may suffer some loss, the creditors, who
trusted in them, shall not suffer at all

AN AUTOMOBILE CASE,

While an automobile blonging to
Neil Olson was standing in front of his
house on North Main street in this city
few weeks ago, team owned by Mr..
Cenifelt, who lives near Branch, ran
into it. Although the sun still continues
to rise in the east and set in the west,
the situation seems to have been reversed
as to farmers teams Heretofore in all
known instances the automobile seems
to have run into the team.
There is suit in the Municipal court,
brought by the owner of the automobile
to recover damages. Wonder if the
owners of teams in this county will re.
turn the compliment. The suit has been
adjourned to Sept and will probably
be tried on that day

THE REEDSVILlE CASE.

Judge Kirwan has rendered decision
in the Reedsville case, pending tor nearly
two years, which is of wide Importance
to villages and cities, and to all persons
holding trustee relations, in which he
decides in favor of the plaintiff and
against the village. The action was
brought to obtain permanent injunc-
ton restraining the village boarG clerk,
Il contractor with the village, from pro.
ceeding with certain street work which
had been for some time under way, and
from paying the contractor what had
already been earned
The trouble was the contractor, Mr.
Rusch, happened to be II member of the
village board of trustees and was the
oretically in the position of having the
opportunity to vote upon the question
Of the performance of his own contract
and the allowance to him individually
of the contract price; and although the
contrac. appears to have been entered
into in good faith, and to have the ap-
proval of nearly every citizen of the
village, the contractor found himself
confronted in this suit with the law of
this state, that no city or village trustee
can have any pecuniary interest in any
of the contracts oe such city or village,
and, therefore, he can not proceed with
such contract or recover legally for
any part or the whole of its performance.
E. l.. Kelley was attorney for the
plaintiff in the case, John Duggan.

GERMAN EDITORS CONVENTION.

The German Press Association, repre-
sented by its delegates from several
cities of Wisconsin, held its annual con-
vention in this city on Saturday last,
staying over Sunday, also
Judge Emil Baensch was in charge,
assisted by the local German Editors
The convention had an added signiti'
canoe and charm on account of the fact
that it was the 25th anniversary or
silver Jubilee of the association, and
likewise on account of the fact that the
association was organized in this city
twenty five years ago on that day by
Carl II. Schmidt and Adolph Whitman,
two of our we'll remembered and well
beloved German Editors of that time.
There was business meeting held Sat.
urday forenoon and in the afternoon the
delegates We're given trolley ride to
Two Rivers by Manager Higgins. Their
visit to Two Rivers is reported by the
Chronicle as follows. while in the city
the German Editors were the guests OF
the Hamilton Manufacturing Co. They
were escorted through the immence
factories of this company which manu-
factures wood type, printers cases and
ali kinds of printers wood goods. The
courtesy was one that only printers can
duly appreciate After completing
their inspection of the Hamilton plant
the party wandered over to the lake
shore and We're given an exhibition drill
by Captain Sogge and his Life Saving
Crew. In the evening an elaborate
banquet was given them at Hotel Ham
ilton. This was Il sumptuous and artls'
tic spread and was greatly enjoyed by
all in attendance. AT the conclusion
of the banquet there was IA speech max
ing both in German and English, Hon.
Judge Baensch of the Manitowoc Post
acting as toastmaster. In the exchange
of courtesies the Hamilton Manufacture
inc Co, 'the host of the evening, as
Mayor Currens who presided announced
when the first bumpers We're drank,
came in for many pretty compliments
all of which were formally responded to
by l.. j. Nash, Secretary of the com
pany President j Il. Hamilton being in
the East. OF course due recognition was
given to the efforts of Mr.. Stitgen,
Manager of Hotel Hamilton for his skill,
liberality and good taste. There were n
large number of short speeches made
which showed that our German brethren
of the press are not lacking a knowledge
of the trick in post prandial oratory
The party returned to Manitowoc at 10
o'clock in the evening.
On Sunday afternoon the delegates
and their wives were given a ride up the
river by Messrs. John Schuette and
VIM. Hess in their launches, where a
few pleasant hours We're spent. A trip
to Silver lake was taken in the evening.
The following officers of the assocla-
tion We're elected:

STATE FAIR ATTRACTIONS.

A tremendous attendance of Wiscon
sin people is expected at the Wisconsin
State Fair. to be held at Milwaukee
opening Monday, September 8, ant
closing Friday, September 49, The Wis
consin State Board of Agriculture has
made unusual plans to provide an all
round exhibit for the benefit of the
people of the state and they are looking
for Il larger attendance from every
county than ever before. The Fair
comes at an exceptionally good season
of the year when farmers can leave
their work for a week of such recreation
and educational benefit as may be OBJ
tanned by attending the great state eX-
hibit.
1t is going to be a particular pleasure
to attend the Fair this year because of
the splendid condition of the grounds
and the largely increased facilities for
handling exhibits. Many acres of new
floor space have been secured by the
erection of new buildings and it is
gratifying to report that all of the addi-
tional space has been taken by exhibit
ors, many of whom have never before
exhibited at the State Fair. For the
stock breeder there Is great treat in
store because of the completeness of the
exhibit that will be made in those de-
partments. The mammoth new cattle
barn will be filled with the best cattle
that Wisconsin produces. The sheep
exhibit will also be unusually fine, and
this year, for the first time, the sheep
Judging will be conducted in the new
pavilion erected for that purpose hav-
ing II seating capacity of one thousand
and making it possible to judge sheep in
doors both day and evening. The dairy
and cheese exhibits will also be eXcep
tionaly complete and instructive.
There will be new things to see on
every hand and wonderfully attractive
special events, including the famous
Strobel airship which made snch a fine
record at the State Fair year ago. AS
tensions will be made every afternoon,
:he weather permitting. Unusual in
terest centers in the monster fireworks
spectacle, to he given in the evening,
entitled "Tbe Destruction Of Moscow.
1t promises to be the most spectacular
display of fireworks ever seen in Wis
consin To depict the various scenes
more than POO people are employed and
II large amount of stage setting. For
the vaudeville shows there are such spe-
cial features as the famous Nelson fam.
ily the Oturo Japanese tronpe, the
Laurent trio, and other acts especially
secured for the Fair.
Every day will be IA banner day ut the
Fair, but on Wednesday, Wisconsin
Day and Thursday, Milwaukee Day -
programs of special attractiveness have
been provided and an attendance of
tremendous proportions is expected
Thousands of school children will be the
guests of the Fair Association on Mon
