PAYNE GETS LONG SENTENCE.

William Payne, who was arrested
some time ago charged with statutory
offense and who at the time of his ar
raignment plead not guilty, last week
reconsidered his plea and decided to en-
ter a plea of guilty to the charge. He
was brought before Judge Chloupek for
sentence on Saturday and in spite of the
fact that strong plea was made for
leniency because of his wife and chill
dren being in an almost destitute condi-
tion and he being their only support, the
Judge imposed a sentence of two years
and eight months in Waupun. The
court in delivering its sentence held that
Payne had been instrumental in blocking
the prosecution to some extent in the
Kelley case which has been before the
public but recently, and in view of this
fact, together with his admission of a
crime with which he was charged, the
court decided that a fine would not be
sufficient punishment for him and there
fore sent him to the state prison, as
stated.

PECULIAR IDEAS OF AUTHORS.
Varying Conditions Under Which the
Worlds Great Writers Did Their
Best Work.

Alexander Pope, who was the liter
ary pontff of his time, thought best
when in bed. Whenever a thought
came to him he would jot it down on a
scrap of paper. His servant often
found bedclothes and floor covered
with white bits containing aphorisms
which have now become hackneyed
quotations.
Victor Hugo wrote LES Miserablcs"

thorne also assumed when he wrote
many of his romances.
One leg thrown over the arm OF a
chair or sitting on the arm of his sec
retary's chair were Napoleon's favor
Ite positions while debating to Bour,
rienne, a position which he varied now
and then by patting that scribe on the
head or pulling his ears.
Sir Walter Scott could while reClin-
ing on lounge dictate TO two amanu-
enses, who frequently had to stop writ
Ing so funny the dictated passages
seemed to them.
William Morris made one OF his IA.

while riding on the steam cars. Walt
Whitman and Horace Traubel, original
In all things, were most original in the
position they took while thinking.
They were wont, SO Mr. Traubel says,
to climb upon pile Of lumber and lie
down upon their backs In that way
each found out what the others best
thoughts were.

WALK TO GREEN BAY.

The local Hikers Club consisting of

Nimz Louis Peterson, Richard Groll
and Rube Richards, walked from this
city to Green Bay last Sunday, leaving
here at seven in the morning and arriv-
ing at Green Bay at seven in the even

the way by farmers and others who had
read of their proposed walk and were in-
terested in seeing them make the trip.
Dinner was had at Cooperstown and the
crowd rested at various places along the
road, SO that the journey was not SO
fatiguing as it might have been. The
boys returned by train on Monday.

a resolution was presented TO the
County Board last week by the Manito-
voc County Agricultural association
asking that the county extend aid in the
sum of $4,000 to the society. The resolu.
tion was referred to the finance com
mittee and after careful consideration
they reported to the board that the fair
association be given $500 instead of $4,000
and their report was adopted unanimous
ly. The appropriation is made under a
law recently enacted allowing the coun.
ty board of each county having an agri.
cultural society to extend aid to it in the
sum not to exceed $4,000 in any year.
The amount appropriated for the local
association will be available for their
use at once.

to all who were acquainted with this
good man. He suffered but little sick
ness in his life and for one Of his years
he was unusually we'll preserved. he
had been resident of Manitowoc county
for over fifty years and was always the
same kind, considerate and cheerful

many warm and lasting friends. De-

were born to them, three of whom are
dead. He is survived by his wife, and
three children Michael and William

NORTHWESTERN TO
PUT ON new TRAIN.

The &. N. w. has decided to put on a
new train on the Mantowoc division a.
bout June 7, which will be of material
advantage to the people Of this city and
of the territory through which the road
runs. This train will leave Milwaukee

tion to Eland junction taking the place
of the train that is made up here for

EDUCATIONAL.
BY w. E. LARSON.

Every city that is to erect high
school building should send its school
board to Sturgeon Bay to see the new
building that has just been completed
1t is building of which that city can
justly be proud. 1t is economically built
and conveniently arranged.
There are three features that are
especially worthy of note. The building
has fiat roof, there are no boilers and
furnaces and it is constructed almost
entirely of fire proof material
To the over sen timental the fiat roof
may be an eye-sore. Tradition seems to
have established the precedent that from
ten to fifteen thousand dollars worth o.
material must be put on the top of such
building even though such additional
top-structure is of no practical value.
The business man does not spend money
that way; his building has fiat roof.
About all the big roof does is to en- close
a space that is never used except in
some cases as receptacle for foul air.
dust and rubbish. This feature of the
building is worth seeing and can not but
commend itself to anyone who has a
sense for business. Nothing is lost and
much gained
The building is heated from the city
plant. The heat is regulated so that the
temperature is constantly kept at GS.7l
degrees Air is continually supplied
either cooler or warmer 30 that a change
Is made eve cry seven minutes. In this
way the air in the school room Is just rs
pure as the air outside. Circulation is
kept up by fan run by a motor. There
is no fire in the building, hence no need
for fuel. Much space is saved in the
basement for other work such as manual
training and domestic science
The partitions between the rooms are
all made of brick and extend from the
ground up. The whole building is sub.
stantial and at the same time economic
al. The arrangement inside is excellent
and there is no unnecessary space, The
assembly room is large, we'll lighted and
situated directly above the gymnasium
thus avoiding much of the noise which
usually disturbs the grades more or less
The length of the building is about
40 feet. The cost is given at about
$40, 900.

CITY MUST CULTIVATE PATIENCE.

Saying that it is impossible at this
time to make the change desired by the
city, officials of the 500 Railway Co., in
a letter to Thomas r. Torrison, chair
man of the committee, which waited
upon President Pennington at Mime
apols last week, hold out a small promise
that the train schedules will be arranged
to meet the demands of Manitowoc in
the near future. The letter, which was
received by Mr.. Torrison Friday, asks
the city to be patient for short time
only when, it is stated, the company will
arrange a new schedule. No reason is
assigned why it is impossible for the
company at this time to act in the mat
ter. The prospects for improvement in
the service are not very bright.

RIPLEY DIES OF INJURIES.

Walter Ripley, twenty six years OF
age, one of the men injured ON the Good
rich boat Carolina, by falling from some
scaffolding on which he was working
last Thursday, died at the Holy Family
hospital Friday evening. His companion
Charles Bomba is still alive but his con
dition is very critical. Ripley's home
was formerly at Peoria, Ill. and the re.
mains were shipped there for interment
on Sunday. He was unmarried.
