BOYNTON DEVELOPMENTS.

Another chapter in the Boynton i'm
p1isonlnent history is being enacted this
week in an argument before Judge Kir-
wan by the aged prisoners attorney
who is seeking to secure his release from
the county Jail. The new developments
also involve an interesting point of law,
which is the question of whether one,
after being brought into the state invol-
UNFAIRLY upon extradition papers issued
in criminal process, can be held in i'm :
prisonment in another matter and par

new STAMP ISSUE,

The Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing at Washington has completed de
signs suggested by Postmaster General
Never for new issue of United States
postage stamps. The new stamps Will
be of the following denominations:
One cent, . cents, 3 cents, cents,
5 cents, 6 cents, 8 cents, 10 cents, l.
cents, 81 cents and 81. rne 81 anl 81
denominations now in use will not be
reprinted. 1t will be some weeks before
all the denominations will be put on the
market. However, the 2 cent stamp
will be first distributed, and it is expect
ed that shipments to postmasters Will
commence some time in November.
The new issue has been designed with
the object of obtaining the greatest sim
picity commensurate with artistic re
suits. The profile has beer taken in
each instance instead of a full view, Civ
ing a bas.relief effect. All the stamps
are of a similar design, containing a
head III an eclipse, the only decoration
being laurel leaves on either side of the
eclipse. The lettering is in straight
lines at the top, being ~. S. Postage,
and at the bottom the words, Tive
cents" The cent stamps contain the
head of Franklin, while all the Others
will bear that of Washington, taken
from busts by Houdon.
Thus one of the most notable differ.
ences in the new issue will be the mini
mum lettering. The coors are the reds
and blues of the early stamps.
Director Ralph, of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, regards the new
stamps as the most artistic ever issued
by the Government.

HIGH SCHOOL LECTURES.

Prof Keller of the North Side Schools
has been carrying out plan, the beneh 8
aud practically of which it seems should
have occurred to school men long ago.
The idea is to have series of talks to
the high school pupils by competent pro
fessional and business men of the city.
Ralph Plumb and Judge Chloupek
have during the past two weeks taken
part in this series and others are on the
program for the future. Mr.. Plumb ex
planned to the school the pending politi-
cal problems and for what the parties in
the present political campaign are con-
tending. Judge Chloupek enlightened
the students upon the purposes and
functions of the various courts in our
state, explaining in particular the jnris'
diction and workings of the county
court.
Students daily under the control of
one mind for four years, are given new
lines of thought and broadened by helps
of this character The idea is commend

LEAGUERS MAKE MERRY.

The local lodge of the Royal League
celebrated the silver jubilee of the order
by gathering at the Turner hall last
Saturday evening. Supreme Scribe
Piper was present and gave talk upon
the objects and benefits of the society
The 300 people present, composed OF on
ly members and their wives and lady
friends danced to the music of the Mar
inc orchestra until an early hour.
The dancing was relieved by some
splendid vocal selections, including a
quartette of local young men, and solos
by several talented young people.
A chicken supper served by the ladies
of the Sacred Heart congregation was
highly appreciated.
The exclusion of male non members,
new idea with the leaguers, is conduc-
i've to an increase in membership.

MISHIcoT MYSTERY ENDS.

A sensation which seemed to rival
anything in the history of the county
for pure mystery came to sudden end
last Saturday evening when Olga Stelz-
er of the village of Mishicot returned to
her home.
A week ago last Sunday the girl, who
is about sixteen years of age, left her
home shortly after noon, without warn-
ing or any intimation Of intended de-
parture and was not seen again for
week, it being as if the earth hal open
ed and swallowed her.
AS the days passed and no clue was
forthcoming the anxiety of the parents
reached high point and interest in the
neighborhood and throughout the north.
ern part of the county became profound.
Searching parties left no stone unturned
apparently in their efforts to help solve
the mystery. The county authorities,
including the District Attorney and
County Judge, went to the scene and
conducted vigorous investigation; al
vertisepents appeared in the papers;
cuts of the girl for hand bills were be-
ing prepared. Excitement reached an
acute stage.
Saturday evening last the young lady,
weak from hunger and exposure, walk
ed serenely out of the Halberg barn
about a mile from home, where she says
she had been in hiding all the week
This unexpected and voluntary ap-
pearance of the girl has abated the In
terest but has aroused new speculation
as to the causes of such utterly inexpll-
cable conduct, the evident solution be-
ing that she was impelled to this strange
action by temporary mental derange-
ment. Although this theory Is secuted
by some who point out that the girl
must have had assistance from outside
or she could not have subsisted week
in the barn In the meanwhile some
of the unofficial scouts are not calling
attention to their former theories.

A STRONG COUNTY TICKET.

The Democrats Of Manitowoc county
have a strong ticket in the field. From
top to bottom it is composed of good
men who are we'll qualified to fill the
offices for which they have been no.ni-
mated. This, together, with strong
candidates for national, congressional,
state and legislative Offices makes as
satisfactory a ticket as the Democrats
have had the pleasure of voting for in
years. Therefore, every Democrat should
make strong effort in behalf of the
ticket He should not only get out and
vote the ticket himself but see to it that
his neghbor does likewise.
