CHRISTMAS QUIET.

Christmas passed by in Manitowoc
with nothing unusual happening. The
usual hordes of belated shoppers crowd
ed the streets and stores Friday until
late into the evening. Midnight SER
wees at the JauIiuiic anu ST. Jame>
Episcopal churches were largely at
tended and most of the city churches
had services Christmas morning. Dur
ing the afternoon the Y. Nj. c. a. re-
ception was held and the rooms were
thronged from to $50. a program
was carried out, an interesting feature
of which was an exhibition by drill
team of youngsters.
The usual tree and dance celebra-
tions were held at the Opera house and
Turner hall attended by the usual large
crowds. With the splendid sleighing
and the temperature not far from zero
the city enjoyed genuine ''old fash
ioned" Christmas. Whether due to
the abstemious habits of our citizens
or the discretion of the police no one
appeared before Judge Schmidt Mon
day to answer for reckless indulgence
in holiday cheer.

A FARMERS HALL OF FAME,

a portrait of Cyrus H. Mccormick, in
ventor of the reaper, has been placed in
the Illinois Farmers Hall of fame at
the University of Illinois, Crbana.
The portrait was unveiled Wednesday
with impressive services and addresses
by Gov. Deneen and others.
The picture of Mr.. Mccormick, not
appropriately is the first tC be placed
in the Farmers Hall of Fame. Mr.. Nc
Cormick was not a farmer, but his
great invention revolutionized agricult-
ural methods and was an epoch in ag-
ricultural progress. 1t is hardly put
ting it strong enough TO say that hc
''made two blades of grass grow
instead of one" His invention has
been one of the powerful agencies in
development of the country and in the
improvement of farming conditions
throughout the world. 1t is IA long
step from the sickle and the scythe to
the wonderful harvesting machine of
to-day. That machine wa, made possi-
bic 10y the genius and the laborS Of
Cyrus H. McCormik.
Illinois is a great agricultural state
and the idea of perpetuating the mem
ory of some of the pathfinoers of agri-
cultural development is a praiseworthy
conception. Illinois is tle first State
to enter upon mo8ment com
memorative of men who lave beenuo-- e
able in advancing the interests of the
farmer. AS was suggested 10y Gov.
Deneen in his address at Urbana, it j.,
highly probable that this example
will be followed by other States

DISPUTE IS SETTLED.

In published notice G.. w. Kennedy
announces that he has secured a settle
ment of the dispute between the VIM.
Rahr Sons Co. and VIM. Rahr ST., re-
garding the matter of vacating a part
of Sixth street. The notice reads as
follows: II wish to announce that all
objections to the vacation of that part
of Sixth street that the William Rahr
Sons company has asked the city to
vacate, have been withdrawn and now
hope that the request of the William
Rahr Sons company will be unani-
mously granted by the board of alder
men.
The settlement was brought about
by mt action as mediator between both
parties interested. &C. w. Kennedy.
The Rahr Sons Co. intended to build
a large addition to their malt house
and petitioned the city council to va
cate that portion of Sixth street on
which they proposed to build. VIM.
Rahr, Sr., and several other property
owners on 9th street objected. Now
that the matter has been settled it is
expected that the request of the Rahr
Sons Co. will be granted at the next
council meeting.

LIFE-SAVING DOGS IN WEST.
St. Bernards of Alpine Stock Which
Have Made Records in the
Rocky Mountains.

Few people are aware of the fact
that there are a number Of st. Ber
uard dogs of Alpine stock in the
Rocky mountains which have cnviable
records as liresayers. Prof f. G. Lin.
dcmann writes most entcrtainingly
about one of these dogs, in the Su.

The OLD WOMAN.

Was that YOU, young man, we heard
use those words, when speaking of
your mothery "The old woman" A
nice phrase to be using about the dear
soul who kept her vigil over you in
your infancy, kissed away your tears
in childhood and remains your friend in
maturity. Is this all the love you have
for the silver haired mother who bath
ed your >corching brow all through the
long >leeplcSs nights of atlliction when
your brain was wild with burning fe-
Yer? Is there no other term YOU can
find for her who has followed you
through every trial, tribulation and
misfortune of your life? Has mother
through all these years Of labor, watch
ing and Waiting been wasting her love
ON a worthless bunch of clay. who in
the rosy dawn of manhood has no other
term fitting than 1.-THE old woman" by
which to address or speak of his
mother?
Mother, young man, is the sweetest
name in all the world and should be
held in reverence 10y every boy. The
time is coming when her hands will be
folded, her watchful eyes closed and
the lips once warm with mothers love
be cold, the fond heart whose anxious
beatings once followed your maynard
feet be stilled forever.-Ex.

the WINTER FLEET.

A larger winter fleet than the city
has had in several years is now up the
river the major part of it being the
big steel trust coalers. This insures a
lively winter in the yard all boats re-
curing some overhauling and some
needing extensive repairs. The laying
up, winter work and fitting out in the
spring employ many men and local
merchants feel the presence OF the
boats.
The employees of the craft being in
more affluent circumstances now than
they will be next April make their
presence obvious at places where good
cheer is dispensed until they depart
for their homes. A striking feature
of the winter feet is the small number
of sailing craft, the schooners Jas Hall,
Iris, Augustus and Franc Minor being
the only survivors of almost countless
number of graceful ships that lined the
river fronts years ago. Besides sever
al tugs and barges the fleet is composed
of the following steamers:-John w.
Gates, S. F. B. Morse, Simon j. Muir
ply, Cornell, Princeton, Victory, g.. j.
Grammar, James Watt, w. ID. Rees,
Fayette Brown, German, Marina, Ma

A GENEROUS GIFT.

At Christmas service at st. James
Episcopal church the rector announced
that the congregation was the recipi-
ent of a gift of $4,000 in cash from Bish-
op Grafton. The congregation assum-
ed heavy burden in the building of
their new church some years ago and
not being very large in numbers the
parish has never been ahle to get on its
feet financially. The young rector.
Rev. Hastings, has during his short
stay created new spirit and being
popular both in his clerical capacity
and personally he has made a good
start towards putting st. James church
in good shape financially.

DROPS DEAD At CELEBRATION.

Matt Sladky, father of Joseph Sladky
of this city dropped dead Sunday night
without warning of any kind. When
the tragic end came Mr.. Sladky, who
was 10 years of age, was seated at the
supper table at the Christmas dance
being held at Kvitek's new hall at
Cooperstown. Deceased had been in
good spirits and apparently in the best
of health all evening. He was a re-
tired farmer living in the town of
Cooperstown and had been widower
for several years.
The dance was formal dedication
of Mr.. kvitek's new hall and the death
put an end to the big event.
Mr.. Sladky was one of the early
settlers in the northern part of the
county having come from Bohemia in
his youth and was a respected citizen.
He is survived by large family of
adult sons and daughters.

EDUCATIONAL.
tBY G. w. MEISNEST.l }

/ In forty states and territories of the
American Union there is in force q
compulsory educational law" In
twenty-siX states it is required that
children of school age attend school for
the full time for which public school is
maintained i'm the district where they
reside. In eight of these states the
compulsory age is Ia: in three, Is:
in three, 7-l6: in one, III; in two,
So: in twelve, 9-l4: in three, S-l5:
in seven. S-l6: and in one, 9-l4. The
states which have no compulsory law
unless recently passed. are Mississippi,
Louisiana. Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
Arkansas, Texas and South Carolina,
You will note that all of these states
are in the South. In New Jersey,
children - to l.. who have completed
the grammar school course, must at
| tend a high or manual training school,
il not regularly employed in some bus
mess.
1t Will be noted thaticgis favor
ing a more regular attendance is not
uncommon, nor distinctively peculiar
to Wisconsin alone. Many of our
neighboriug states are decidedly more
rigid than Wisconsin,. Whether or not
the law in those states requiring full
attendance is a wise one is doubted.

large attendance of the people of the

occasion a happy entertainment to
those who attended, and a profitable
one to those whose enterprise and good
taste originated it.
