DOCK TAX BILL VETOED.

Manitowoc and other cities of the
state will not share in taxes levied by
the State on railroad property. Gov.
Davidson having filed veto of the ter
minal tax bill which provided for giving
cities share in taxes on dock and
warehouse property of railway compa-
nies in their limits
The action of Gov. Davidson in vetoing
the bill was not unexpected and WAS
influenced largely by the fact that the
State Tax Commission strongly opposed
the measure ON the grounds that ii would
destroy the uniformity Of taxation for
which the State is working
The veto is the second death for the
bill, it having been defeated two years
ago Manitowoc would have benefited
several thousand dollars under the law.

THE PILOT WON OUT.

The committee on printing met at the
courthouse Tuesday and awarded the
contract to the Pilot for the publication
of the proceedings of the county board
and the printing of $50 pamphlets. The
committee decided not to have the pro-
ceedings published in the German Ian
guage. The Pilot was the lowest bid
der, and therefore, was awarded the
contract The Manitowoc Daily News
was beat by 10 cents folio and the
Two Rivers Chronicle got cold feet and
didn't bid at all. And now, the dutfer
who runs the Daily News, and likewise,
the duffer who runs the Chronicle, are
bowling and have in effect called the
Pilot men, blockheads and cutthroats
The Pilot will simply brush aside these
soreheads and keep right on.

PECULIAR APPEAL TO HEAVEN.
Ceremonial Observed by Chinese
Whom Rain Is Desired.

Prayers for rain are common fea-
ture Of religious observance In China,
and the attendant ceremonial some
times takes strange forms A CORE
spondent OF the North China Herald
reports curious celebration which
recently took place in Chenyuan. The
orthodox three days fast wss pro-
claimed. and the officials went to the
temples TO present incense, while the
people organized a procession with a
penitude OF gongs and drums. As the
processionists passed along the street
they were drenched with water by the
residents, who had tubs in readiness
But the great peculiarly OF the occa-
sion was dog. He was tied sitting up
IN common chair with an old gar
ment round his shoulders and an old
big mans hat on his head. He got
q double share of the water along the
route and seemed to have entirely ex,
hausted the glory and the fun Of his
position. The explanation of the cere-
mony was this. Among the domestic
animals the dog is placed lowest. But
the people in their attempt to move
the pity OF heaven said In effect: We
will put ourselves lower than the dog,
we will give him the honor OF riding in
state as our master. If only you will
adds that rain fell before sunset.

To DISCOURAGE Opium Users.

A quaint touch OF oriental ingenuity
TO harass the persistent users OF
opium has been invented by the SUI
perintendent of the police at Canton
says the Lancets correspondent In
China. This official has issued 20 900
wooden licenses, ten inches long by
eight inches broad and three-fifths Of
an inch thick. On the front OF these
boards are characters giving the
smokers name and address, and the
quantity allowed him per diem, and on
the back are the opium regulations
The licensees are not allowed to cover
their boards when going to buy opium,
but must wear them conspicuously SO
that all may see them. Next year
these wooden licenses are to be two
feet long by one and a half broad and
three-fifths OF an inch thick

CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

At the council meeting Monday night
the committee on electric light and gas
presented an amended ordinance, con-
tanning al offer from the gas company
to reduce the minimum charge from 80
cents to 25 cents month. Other feat.
ures of the ordinance are the same rs in
the originals rate of 81 05 for gas un-
til July 1911 and a 81 fiat rate after that
time with the service charge eliminated
entirely. The reduction is liz the min
imum charge is conditioned, however,
that where patrons fail to use 400 feet,
they shall pay at a rate of $1.25 net per
thousand. The ordinance retains the 70
cent charge for reconnectlng meters
where the service is discontinued and
renewed within 12 months. Chairman
Plumb of the committee on presenting
the ordinance recommended it's adoption,
out the matter was laid over until the
next meeting.
The council by unanimous vote passed
resolution to furnish the $1,000 addi.
tional bond for the continuance of the
injunction against the street car com
pany. This means that the city will fight
to the last ditch to make the manager
of the street car company live up to the
terms of his franchise that is live up to
his contract which every ordinary NOR
tai is required to do.
City officials, heads of departments,
are to be restricted in the expenditure
of city funds and hereafter all supplies
must be purchased through the council 3
committees or the city clerk. The coun-
Gil insists on knowing the why and
wherefore on all claims and will refuse
to pay bills unless the committee and
clerk know about them. The refusal of
some members of the fire and water
committee to sign bills contracted by
Chief Kratz brought up the question.
Some of the aldermen declared that it
was time to put stop to the Chiefs s
method of spending city funds.
The mayor appointed the following as
members Of the board of review: Alder
men Schmitz, Thorisen Wendorf, Hem
pton, Engels, PITT and Smuggler
