SHAME OF THE PRESS.

The ever consistent and always
gentle greensboro Messenger, which
lid its little best to cut short the
political career Of Governor Beckham,
and thereby contributed to the sue
cess of the Republican ticket at the
last election, says 1t was zone among
the very many to look upon the cleo
ton of Governor Wilson as fact to
be deplored" and it abuses him round
ly for not putting an end to night
riding.
There is too much OF this sort of
thing, and too little of cooperation
in his effort. Governor Wilson acted
very promptly in forcing an investi-
cation by the Christian county grand
Jury and in placing troops In the in
tested section. Then he found that
the law abiding citizens were so in
undated that justice could not be
had. He appealed to the legislature,
recommending certain drastic legisla-
lion to meet desperate situations. The
legislature acted in such a. manner as
TO encourage the night riders.
Governor Wilson right now is en-
gagged single-handed with the prob
lem' but he is acting secretly. so THAI
MS enemies Of the press and forum
cannot embarrass him. The action of
the Law and Order League of Hop
Nihsville. raises our hope that sanity
is returning, as depreciation of prop
lerty and harm to business interests
bore their way into the craniums of
good people, while the soldiers sent
by Governor Wilson guard them.

THE WOMEN AND THE SCHOOLS

We sometimes resent having even
the truth told about us or to us by
outsiders, and ordinarily they have
some faults of their own, which
should deter their criticisms of our
shortcomings; but II one can not face
the frank truth himself, or We can
not discuss our own faults in our own
household, We shall not get far. Thus

be entertained by an acrimonious de.
bate, but the women are calling at

voice of the schoolmen has been pro
claiming to deaf ears for decades

TRIBUNE BID REJECTED.

AT the council meeting Monday night
the bid of the Manitowoc Tribune was
rejected, although it was the lowest, for
the reason that the Tribune Co. refused
to show its corporation record. When
the Tribune handed in p bid charges
were made that certain city officials
held stock in the Tribune and that that
paper could not legally enter into a con.
tract with the city under the state law
Naturally the council wanted to know
if the charges were true or false and ap-
pointed a committee to make investiga
tion. City attorney Hougen was a
member of the committee and informed
the council that he was not permitted
to see the corporation record. That set
teled the matter and the council sat
down on the Tribune bid The con
tract was given to the Daily Herald and
the Daily News. The council proceed
ings will be published in the Herald and
advertisements in the News The pric.
es are 10 cents folio for the proceed
inga, and cents a folio for advertise
ments first insertion, and s cents for all
subsequent insertions.

EDUCATIONAL.
BY w. E. LARSON

Next Saturday, June 9, will be held
the Animal County Commencement
The contests will be held at the Court
House in the forenoon and the program
will be given at the Turner House in
the afternoon.
All who wish to participate in the
contest should be on hand promptly.
The arithmetic contest will be held in
the County Board room beginning
promptly at 1890. Pupils should bring
pencils. The adding contest will be held
in the assembly room at the same time,
The arithmetic contest will consist of
10 simple problems. Pupils should aim
for absolute accuracy as that is the first
consideration Rapidity comes second.
In the adding contest there will be eight
exercises each by 12. These will be
printed in good heavy type The reason
for having eight by l2 exercises instead
of four by 12 is that 1t will result in
getting a larger number correct. Here
again accuracy is first, Tapidity second.
Immediately after these two contests
those who are to take part in written
spelling will accompany Mr.. j. A. Book
to the assembly room of the Business
College in the old Court House where hp
will pronounce 100 words. Pupils should
bring pencils but paper will be furnish.
ed The pupils writing the greatest
number of correct words ont of the 100
will be accorded first place, the next,
second place, etc In case of tie a
second short list will be given to those
who are tied for any particular place.
Those who are to spell orally will re
main in the Court House. These pupils
will be divided into three sections.
Pupils from Centerville, Meeme Schles-
wig, Eaton, Liberty and Newton will
line up in the County Board Room.
Pupils from Manitowoc Manitowoc
Rapids, Cato, Rockland, Maple Grove
and franklin will spell in the Assembly
Room. Pupils from Kossuth, Two
Rivers, Two Creeks, Mishicot, Gibson
and Cooperstown will spell in the super.
intendents Office Each of these divi
sion will spell until only four remain
The twelve will then finish up in the
rotunda.
Teachers should be present if possible
so as to help the pupils find their places
and to see that the right ones are repre-
sented. No pupil who holds diplomc
.Ioia former years is eligible to take
part and no one who has taken firs
honors in previous contest will be al
lowed to participate in the same contest
again. Those who take part shoulC
| have attended school at least 40 days
during the year

KILLED BY THE CARS.

John Kleinbauer, aged about 80 years,
WAS killed by the cars in the Calumet
yards Friday evening about $50 o'clock
He was employed at the Grimm foundry
plant on 22nd street and resided on a
small farm south of the city. He was
on his way home and walking on the
track when the south bound freight
train came along. He was seen to step
aside off the track and it is believed that
rs the train passed he attempted to
board it to ride home, but no one saw
the accident happen. His body was cut
in two, the wheels of the cars passing
over it just above the hips. The body
was found by Fred Heinig a car check
or, shortly after the accident aud he noti-
fled the sheriff. The remains Of the un-
fortunate man We're gathered up and
brought to the undertaking rooms OF
Urbanek and Wattawa and his relations
were notified,
An inquest was held Monday morn
ing before Justic of the Peace Harry
Kelley. The jury found that kleinbauer
came to his death by attempting to
board freight train while it WAS NOV
ing, and that his death WAS due TO bis
own negligence, the testimony given
supporting this theory. The deceased
leaves a wife, father a brother Peter
Kleinbauer of this city and three sisters,
The funeral was held Monday.

threatening clouds and intermittent at
tempts at rain Saturday the program
for the observance of Memorial day
could not be carried out rs planned
The exercises which were to take place
at the Catholic cemetery in the forenoon
were held in Turner hall. Quite large
crowd gathered at st. Boniface church
in the morning with the intention of
marching to Calvary cemetery to pay a
proper tribute to the soldier dead and
yield fitting observance of the day but
it looked too much like rain so it was
decided to carry ont the program at the
hall. Jos. Willinger presided and rhe
exercises opened with prayer by Rev.
Father Jackal of Two Rivers. Mayor
Groffman gave the opening address
which WAS listened to attentively by the
audience. This was followed by an ad

was followed by An address by John
Healy which was thoughtful and able.
The Aron band furnished music.
The exercises at Evergreen cemetery
in the afternoon had also to be abandon
ed and the program was given at Turn
er hall. Committees from Walker Post,
G. A r and Lawton Camp, Spanish
War Veterans, placed flowers and flags
upon the graves of the soldiers during
the morning. After the exercises In the
Turner hall, Company H marched to
Evergreen cemetery and fired salute
Gen. Winkler, who served rs a soldser
in the Union army, gave an interesting
talk on life in the army. He made no
effort in oratory and spoke more to the
veterans than to the public, as repre-
sented in the audience. Mayor Croft
man, who presided gave a brief intro
ductory address landing the veterans,
the government and the ideal of Ameri-
can liberty which he declared it the duty
of every citizen to uphold by action and
deed. Rev. Pulsifer invoked the bless
ing aud F. G. Buerstatte, commander

WILL GO OUT OF BUSINESS.

The Northern Grain Company Will go
ont of business in this city, according to a
statement given out last week by the
manager, c. Espln, and all the property
will besold, which includes tx o elevators
the cold storage plant ard the sheep
farm.
According to Esplin's statement the
Grain Co. has sustained heavy losses
during the past year. Though the local
elevators will be closed it is not likely
that they will remain so for any length
of time. 1t is expected that the proper
ty will be purchased and operated by
some other company. The closing OF
The Grain Co. will be blow to the city.
The shut down will throw about forty
men out of employ ment. The date
when the elevators will close is not fixed

ptayino at Divorce.

A curious side light Is thrown upon
the divorce question In America A
mother came into the room and found
her two children quarreling about a
doll. She said: You must stop
quarreling, or l shall take the doll
away I'VE aren't really quarreling,
mamma" said one OF the little girls,
we're playing Jennies suing me for
divorce, and we're trying to decide
who'll have the custody OF the child"
When 1t is remembered that 100000
divorces have been recorded in the
United States in period OF 20 years,
perhaps it Is not surprising that
children should play at divorce as
they play at going to school.--Dundee
Advertiser.
