FAVORS PLAN TO ACQUIRE
GULICKSON FARM.

Appointing a committee of three, to
take the matter up with the city council
the Manitowoc Citizens Association
Tuesday evening went on record in
favor of acquiring the Gulickson prop
erty, north west of the city, known as
the cemetery farm, for factory sites
The officers and directors held meeting
and discussed the proposition in all it's
details, and it was decided to push the
matter to see what could be accom-.
plshed.
The committee named to take the
question up with the aldermen was
John Schmidtman, Frank A. Miller and
George Wits. The proposition will no
doubt come up officially before the
aldermen at the regular meeting of the
council next Monday evening.
The plan is to have the city council
sell the Gulickson farm property to the
Manitowoc Citizens Association for a
nominal sum, one that the Association
would be able to swing. Then the AS
sociation would have something to offer
in the way of factory sites to prospect
i've industries when they proposed locat
ing here. Side tracks could be run into
the land, and with the proper manage
ment series of industries could be To-
Gated there, that would be q benefit to
the city.
At present the Gulickson farm only
nets the city 1925 year A deal is on
to lease the farm for another four year
term. The cemetery committee has this
matter in charge. -Manitowoc Daily

ITEMS FROM The PILOT
OF FIFTY YEARS AGO.

OUR JAIL.-There are ten persons
now confined in our county jail-fonr
of whom are insane. This large num-
Der gives the sheriff and jailor all the
business they can attend to, and if
our Shanghai friends would stop spend
ing the peoples money, foolishly, and
lay it out in completing the Lunatic
Asylum, they would do great good to a
| large class of our unfortunate fellow
beings and save our citizens large
portion of the heavy taxes which are
now expressing them.
A SPLENDID STORE.-One of the
finest improvements made in Manitowoc
the past season, has been the erection of
and completion of the large and COM
modious store on York street, by Messrs
| T. & F. Robinson The inside is finished
in fine style, the joiner work is done ex.
ira WELL and the painting by j. w.
| Glover cannot be beat. When Messrs.
Robinson get their large stock OF drugs
and medicines moved into it, and assort-
ed, it will not only he valuable addi-
ton to the business of the village, but
an ornament to York street.
| Tacitus says that early marriages
makes us immortal 1t is the sole and
chief prop of the empire. That man
who resolves to live without woman,
and that woman who resolves to live
without man, are enemies to the com
munity in which they dwell, injurious
to themselves destructive to the world
apostates from nature, and rebels
against heaven and earth.
SUPERINTENDENTS or THE POOR.-
The Board of Supervisors have elected
Messrs r. H. Hoes of this town, Jason
Pellet, of Gibson and Louis Faulhaber
of Rockland, as superintendents of the
county poor
CHICKENS Our friend Michael
Thornton, of Cato, yesterday sent us in
three large and plump chickens. We
hope his poultry yard may always be
so full that he can spare some for the
printer.
The cditor of the Kenosha Democrat
must have warm feeling for the PILOT.
He scrutinizes every number closely,
and if anything wrong is found in our
columns-no matter how trifling-he
straightway makes note of it in his
paper, and takes the trouble to send US
marked" copy. We are under obi.
cations to him, and when we go to Ken
osha-that pleasant place-we will en-.
deavor to hunt him up. In the mean
time as we cannot pay him anything for
his trouble, perhaps it would be as well
for him to look little at home. We
never knew a man to get rich minding
other peoples business.
SOMETHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR
We now receive Milwaukee papers Oh
the second day after publication.
Thanks to the Wisconsin Stage Compa-
ny, who we understand, will hereafter
run their coaches direct to Milwaukee
in one day and half This will be the
cheapest and most comfortable route for
travellers. They have stocked the route
with good teams warm coaches, and
careful drivers, and we trnst our people
will appreciate the convenience by pat

COULD NOT BE PREVENTED.
Chairman of School Investigation
Reports on Accidents.

Appleton P. Clark, jr., chairman Of the
special investigating committee which
recently reported upon the sanitary con
dition OF the schoolhouses. has forwarded
a copy Of q resolution adopted By the
committee 20 the Commissioners. It
states that no building regulation could
have prevented the two fatal accidents
IN the last year in the erection OF build
ings.
The resolution says:
During the past year, two fatal ac-
cidents have occurred. in each case caus-
ing the death Of a workman engaged
upon the building affected In the first.
the accident was caused by the failure
Of some temporary supports set in place
by the workmen. and In the second case
was due 10 the breaking OF the hosting
apparatus while in the operation os rails
ing a roof truss. IN neither Of these
cases was there any infTaCtiOn OF the
building regulations. and IN the second
case, no building regulation possible
would have prevented such an accident"
