ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM
Err ROOSEVELT

The Steamer Roosevelt bringing one
hundred and fifty members of the Mar
quette Club of Chicago together with a
band of forty pieces arrived in the city
Friday morning to open the Republican
campaign in this section Of the state.
Besides officers and members of the club
a number of the speakers were in the
party, among them being Attorney Gen
eral Taylor of Indiana, Elk Judge Lane
burger of the Supreme Court of the
Philippine Islands, United States Dist
rict Attorney Mccormick of Chicago
and others. The party were met at the
Goodrich dock by a committee OF local
republicans and taken to the Williams
House where breakfast was served.
After breakfast the visitors were taken
for ride about the city in carriages
and automobiles, while their band en-
tertained the people of the city, the Sc
lections being rendered on the streets.
At ten o'clock the party, together with
about five hundred residents of the city,
gathered at the Turner Hall where a
number of speeches of the usual cam
pagn variety were delivered. The Wis
itors then had dinner and left at one
o'clock for Muskegon, Mich.
This ulan of campaign is unique and
one which has attracted considerable at
tention throughout this and surround
ing states. The Marquette Club, while
not essentially a political organization,
originated, this movement and chartered
the Roosevelt which is one of the best
passenger boats on the lakes for four
day trip. During the trip they took
in the chief lake ports of In,iiana, Hi
nos, Wisconsin and Michigan, holding
meetings and giving impetous to the
campaign wherever they stopped.
Some dissatisfaction was expressed in
this city because of the fact that the
speakers promised by the Club were not
in evidence when they came and many
Of the local republicans were disappoint-
ed because of their absence.

STORY CREATES SENSATION.

The story of Ella Buretta, South
side girl, fifteen years of age, told in
County Court on Monday of this week
was one of the most surprising to which
Judge Chloupek has listened for some
time Later, however, the girl denied
the story and the facts as brought ont
on her hearing showed that she was in
corrigible and that her parents were
wholly unable to govern her or keep her
within the bounds. The Judge after
listening to the facts in the matter de
cided that it was better to send her to
some place where she could be properly
governed and committed her to the
Home of the Good Sheperd in Milwau.

who secured merchandise at local store
recently, getting $1,000 worth of stuff
under fictitious name.

WATER WORKS co.
STARTS WORK

Ground was broken Monday for work
ou the new half million gallon reservoir
which the Water Works Co. will esta-
blish as an addition to its works at the
foot of South Sixth street on the lake
front, and the work on the plant will
be pushed rapidly to complete it this
fall. The reservoir will be located near
the present wells of the company and
will eqnip the company with a much
larger capacity
Brick and cement will be used for
the structure of the reservoir, the con-
struction of which follows out a sug-
gestion that was made by engineers
of the State Railway Commission
and of engineers employed by the
Water Works Co. in recommendations
for perfecting the plant. d. w. Mead
one of the foremost engineers of the
country, was brought here by the
Water Works Co. to plan the work of
enlarging the works and providing
equipment and his plans will be fol-
lowed.
With the addition OF the large reser.
voir and the new boiler which has been
installed, together with other improve
ments which have been made the past
year, the local plant will be one of
modern type and adequate for a town
much larger than Mantowoc, it is said
