LABOR RESOLUTIONS LAID OVER,

Evidently the city council is trihe
shy on acting on the labor resolutions
introduced some time ago 10y Alderman
Bruins, the statesman" from the fifth
ward. AT its meeting on Monday even
ing the resolutions were again laid over
until the next meeting, although u
strenuous effort was made to either pass
or table them They are along the same
general lines as the resolutions offered
at every session of the state legislature.
Much other business mostly of ron.
tine nature, was transacted at Monday
evenings meeting. Under the heading
Reports of Officers city Attorney Hon.
gen stated that he had a letter from the
Standard Oil Co. stating that they would
send representative here ut once to see
about the removal Of the oil tanks mt
10th street. Also, that the matter of
having the steamer Rose removed from
the upper river had been taken up with
Major Judson and the owner had been
ordered to remove it at once.

JURY'S WORK COMPLETED.

The labors of the Jury empanelled for
the June term of the circuit court came
to a rather abrupt termination on Fri.
day evening. After the completion of
the case of Phillips vs.. Eggert the
criminal calendar was taken up and il
was found that Larson, the defendant
in the first case, who is out on bail, was
not in the city The case was thereupon
continued until the next term, ~ was
the case of State Of Wisconsin VS. Paul
Budnik. The case Of State w. Sanville
was then taken up and the trial com
pleted in about three hours, the jury
bringing in verdict Of guilty. This
completed the jury cases and the jurors
were discharged
The continuance Of Il number Of cases
on the calendar until the January term,
and the settlement Of several others
have resulted in making the period of
jury service considerably shorter at this
term than it generally IL.

FUNERAL OF DR.. MORRIS.

The funeral of DR.. w. H. Morris took
place last Saturday forenoon flom st.
Isadores church in Meeme, with inter-
ment in the adjoining cemetery. Many
sorrowing friends attended, and the
floral tributes were quite profuse. Rev.
NJ. J. Taugher of Fond du Lac, uncle OF
the deceased, officiated. The large at
tendance at the funeral testifies to the
esteem and respect in which DR.. Morris
was held. He had been in poor health
for some months and last March he
closed his office in this city and went to
San Antonio, Texas, in the hope that his
health would be benefited, but the
climate there had no beneficial effect,
and he returned home about six weeks
ago. Since his return he steadily failed
in health, despite every care and effort,
and his death was not unexpected DE
was q years of age, and was bright,
ambitious young man. He
graduated from the Department of
Dentistry of the Milwaukee Medical
College in May 1904. After his gradu-
alton he opened an office in this city ard
had built up a large practice in the past
three years, and was destined to climb
the ladder of success. During his three
years of residence in Manitowoc he made
a large circle of acquaintance among
whom his kind disposition and self pose
made him popular. 1t is sad that he
was cut off in his prime when life was
full of promise. He is survived by his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Morris of
Newton, and six brothers and two
sisters. Dr. Morris was pure in charac-
ter and lofty in thought and justified
parental, brotherly and sisterly love.
Peace to his soul.

FABLE OF THE PANSY.
Entire Family May Be Traced In Flow
er's Gay Petals.

Lovers of this pretty flower may be
Interested in the fable concerning 1t.
The blossom has five petals and five
sepals In most pansies, especially OF
the earlier and less highly developed
varieties, two Of the petals are plain
in color and three are gay. The two
plain petals have u single sepal each,
and the third, which is the largest OF
all, has two sepals. The fable is that
the pansy represents a family, consist
Ing Of husband. wife and four daugh-
ters, two Of the latter being step-chil-
dren OF the wife. The plain petals are
the stepchildren, with only one chair;
the two small gay petals are the
daughters, with chair each, and the
large gay petal is the wife, with two
chairs. To find the father one must
strip away the petals until the stamens
and pistils are bare. They have
fanciful resemblance to an old man
with a flannel wrap round his neck, his
shoulders upraised and his feet In
bathtub. IN France the pansy is uni
vers1lly called the step.mother.

WEEKLY WEATHER BULLETIN.

The weather during the past week has
been the most favorable of the present
season for the development and growth
of vegetation altho when compared with
other seasons the conditions, rs whole
have been somewhat below the average
There We're fairly abundant showers
over the state from the 10th to the 12th
and these were much needed in the
central and northern sections where
very little rain had fallen during the
two preceding weeks In the region
along the Lake Michigan shore the
showers were heavy at many places and
left the soil in II upersaturated condi.
tion. During the 18th the weather clear
ed and continued 80 during the remain
der of the week.
The first half of the week was moder-
ately cool. but under the influence of
the bright sunshine and the southerly
winds the temperature rose steadily dur
ing the last half of the week, and Sun
day, the 10Th, was the warmest day of
the season thus far when the tempera.
ture reached 80 degrees at several places
in the state. The mean temperature for
the week was above normal in the east
ern and northern counties and slightly
below normal in the central and western
sections
The condition of all growing vegeta.
tion has improved during the week ex.
cept at few places where there was too
much moisture in the soil. The weather
was favorable for outdoor work.

COUNCIL IS ACTION
STOPS IMPROVEMENTS.

At a special meeting of the city council
held on Tuesday evening of last week
the dredging out of certain portions of
the river bank adjacent to the property
of the Manitowoc Dry Dock company
was taken up and after thorough dis.
cussion the council decided to not pro.
ceed further with that particular part
of the dredging work. The work in
question was not part of the dredging
for which the contract was let last sum.
mer to the Starke Dredge and Dock
company, but WAS considered, and it is
said, was deemed necessary at that time.
Its completion would straighten out the
dock line of the river at the location of
the Dry Dock company's plant.
Since the action of the Council has
been made public the Dry Dock compa-
ny has announced that improvements
contemplated by it which would cost
approximately two hundred fifty thou
sand dollars will necessarily have to be
DELAYED for a considerable time. The
installing of these improvements i'm.
mediately was the intention of the com
pany, and their addition would place the
local yard in position to take contract
for boats as large as any now in use
on the lakes. The halt in the work
places them at serious disadvantage
and will be detriment to the city at
large. 1t is hoped that some means of
avoiding the delay in the improvements
mentioned will be arrived at.
