It is interesting to know that at

This benefactor is a guard on the

minute you enter his car you are

Catching Buses In Europe.

Buses and trains do not stop on

Birds Share Nest.

A curious friendship between birds
has been observed. A blackbird built
her nest in quiet covert and after
laying four eggs she was joined by a
thrush, who also laid four eggs in the
same nest. Owing to the sheltered
nature Of their retreat the hospitable
blackbird and her friend Matched the
double brood in peace. This appears
to be the earliest recorded instance
of the maisonette in ornithology.-

Very Aristocratic Indeed.

Sir Clifford Robinson, the head Of
the London tramway system, said at a
railway dinner in New York:
There is class in London that will
not use the cars-hence our abun-
dance of hansoms. This class is aris-
tocratic. It cannot mingle with the
vulgar herd. But it is not foolishly
aristocratic, like the Italian countess
1 heard of recently.
This lady sat in her salon in the
Corso in Rome, watching a footman
busting collection of old family por-
traits.
"The footman, naturally, under his
mistress eye, worked very hard and
got very warm.

HAYES IS GIVEN HEARING.

In Municipal court last Thursday
Charles Hayes of Chicago was given a
hearing on the charge of having murder
ed his nephew William Kuchenburg at
Maple Grove about a month ago.
The state was represented by Dist.
Atty. Kelley and Burke q Cratic ap
peared for the defendant. Mr.. Hayes
was present in court but apparently did
not understand, or at least took no in
terest in the proceedings.
A number of witnesses were present
on behalf of the state and in their testi
mony the story of the tragedy was care
fully gone over. From the evidence it
appears that Hayes came from Chicago
on the afternoon train on the day of the
murder and went at once to the home
of his mother, Mrs. Mulcahy. Here
he met and visited with number of
his relatives and old friends, and then
without having eaten any food went
with Kuchenberg and another relative
named wheeler TO the saloon of John
Watt. The party remained at Watts
about two hours during which time
Hayes had several drinks of whiskey.
No quarrel of any kind occurred there
and no appearance of i'll feeling was
manifested by the accused toward his
nephew. Upon leaving the place kuch-
enberg and Wheeler locked arms with
Hayes to escort him to cutter in which
neighbor was to take him home. The
murder was then committed rs describ-
ed in these columns heretofore.
No defense was made to the accusa-
tion at the hearing and at its conclusion
Hayes was bound over for trial at the
June term of the circuit court. From
reports and remarks of Iavas' counsel
during the hearing it is evident that a
defense of temporary insanity will be
interposed in behalf of Hayes. The
hearing was concluded late Thursday
afternoon.

The BASHFORD CIRCULAR.

The lawyers Of this county were at
first angered and astonished by a circu-
lar that is being distributed by the tens
of thousands in other counties OF the
state, although not to any extent in this
county. 1t consists of an article print
ed originally in Gov. Hoard's news
paper and copied from that into circular
form by the committee in charge OF K.
Nj. Bashford's 8 campaign for the Supreme
Court. 1t pretends that Mr.. Bashford's
principal competitor, John Barnes, is
the candidate of the railroads and big
corporations and is being supported by
such lawyers only as enjoy the rich re-
tainers of these rich aggregations. A
second thought however, brings the re-
Election that Hoard is willy old politi-
clan who hides under his pious counten-
ance a bigger stock Of false pretenses
than Hebrew clothier; that he is the
now he w old fanatic whrqa few yeans
ago insisted that the state was in danger
because few mothers of foreign extrac-
ton (their numbers steadily diminishing
at the time) were teaching their children
ia say their prayers in their mother
tongue instead of the English language.
Hoard and the Bashford committee seem
to think the word railroad" will red
rag the farmer voters because it will
arouse suspicious against Barnes quick
ly, and because they believe such voters
cannot learn the truth and discover the
falsehood and pertidy of the game that
is being played until election day has
passed and the vote has been taken.
The circular contains a list of the cor
poration lawyers supporting Mr. Barnes,
and it is really amusing that A. j..
Schmitz, born in this county and prac-
ticing as lawyer here for many years,
and who has been prosecuting railroads
and other corporations for 30 years, is
upon the list. 1t is not strange that
Bashfords committee has not sent the
circular largely into this county, where
its fraudulent character was sure to be
discovered.

DREWS RESIGNS FROM FORCE.

Chief of Police August Drews sent the
following communication to the Police
and Fire commission last Friday:
To the board of Police and Fire Com,
missioners of the City and County
of Manitowoc, Wis.
Gen tlemen:-Please take notice:
That |, the undersigned, do hereby
tender my resignation as Chief of the
Police Department of said city, the same
to take effect on the the 18th day of
May A. D. 1908.
Respectfully,
Aug {. Drews, Chief
While the action of the chief was not
a complete surprise it was not expected
at this time. For some weeks past ru
mors Of his resignation have been atioat
but recently these reports had been de-
MED on apparently good authority
Drews has been chief of the local police
force for nearly two years, coming here
from Mshicot but short time before hi
appointment to the position. The Stole
administration which was in power al
the time of his selection made bitter op
position to the action of the Board OF
Police and Fire Commissioners in the
matter of his appointment bnt the op
position was finally beaten down and
Drews was given the position. Since
his election this opposition has manifest
ed itself at different times and in various
ways thus making his office difficult
one to fill properly. These facts had
no doubt, much to do with his resigna
ton.
Several candidates for the vacancy
have already been mentioned but thus
far the Board have given no intimation
as to whom their choice would fallupon.
Drews has not disclosed his plans for
the future but he will probably locate in
business in the city.
