VIM. GRUN FILES SUIT
AGAINST TRIBUNE co

Claiming SlOO or more due him as
wages for services as foreman, a posi-
tiop he says he held for two years,
William Grun, a printer, has filed suit
against the Tribune Publishing Compa-
ny. Papers were served upon the otfic.
ers of the company Tuesday and the
case will be heard in municipal court
next Tuesday. tirun quit the company
early in July after which he claims he
was unable to collect his wages and
since then has made Intellectual efforts
to secure settlement. Attys. Hougen
& Brady represent Grnn in the suit.
Grun's retirement from the company
was followed by an attack by labor un'
ions of the city who charged that the
company was not meeting the require
ments of the unions and had no right to
the union label. One of the first de
mands of the union is weekly pay day
and Grun's suit is prima facia evidence
of the truth of the charges made when
an attempt was made to take the labe
from the company. -Mauitowoc Herald

MANITOWOC COUNTY
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

A meeting of the society will be held
at the courthouse in the assembly hall
on Friday, October 22nd, ut 1870 A. Nj.
and so p. NJ Frederick Cranefield of
Madison, Secretary of the State Hortic-
ultural Society will be with us for the
day, and demonstrations will he given
in such compounds as are used, in fight
ing the codling moth. larva of apple
worm and other worms and diseases,
that are destroying our trees and fruit.
The loss this year is alarming
The census of 1905 gave our county
credit for III G33 bushels of apples, val,
ued at $26, SO5, The crop this year is
much larger, being estimated at $50,
600 bushels, but the destruction by the
codling moth is by far greater than ever
before and estimated at from % to 30
per cent of the entire crop. Apples from
Michigan are now selling here, at ST.
and upwards per bushel while ours of
the same varieties are selling at fifty
cents or less.
Spraying, pruning, mulching, hand
picking, grading and proper handling
would put our apples on the market at
one dollar bushel and our avoidable
loss appears to be from fifty to seventy
thousand dollars tor our County.
We have some fine orchards and No. l
apples will be exhibited at our meeting.
A cordial invitation is extended not
only to all fruit growers, but to the
public at large, to attend this meeting.

EDUCATIONAL.

Some three years ago the state super
intendent of schools requested the state
fair association to build on the fair
grounds as an object to visitors, mod
ell country school house. Funds were
not available at that time for this pur-
pose, but this year such building was
placed on the grounds from plans pro-
vided by the state superintendent, and
features of the state fair The plan
made use of was one of five different
plans the state department furnishes to
school districts that contemplate build
ing. The law now requires that dist
rict officers must make use of one of
these plans, or secure the approval of
the county superintendent of the plans
that they have secured from some other
source. Not to comply with this law
means expenditure of public money in
an Illegal way.
The principal features of the building
on the fair grounds are the lighting,
heating and ventilation, and the color
ing of the walls and ceiling. The school
room receives no light from east or west
windows. There are two small win
dows on the south side that may be used
or not, at the pleasure of the teacher.
They admit direct sunlight into the
room, which is considered desirable
feature. The north side of the room is
almost entirely glass, as this amount is
required to give the necessary amount
of light. A large chimney 16xl6 inches
inside measure, with an opening at the
level of the floor and a steel stack 8 in
ches in diameter inside of it connected
with the stove pipe, furnishes the exit
for foul air.
This year it was not possible to install
all the equipment, but if money is avail
able this will be attended to by another
year. The association has man on the
grounds the entire year and it is possible
for people to visit this building at any
time. Crowds of people visited the
building and great interest was mani
tested. The cost was 81, $50.

MRS. CHL0UPEK BEfRIENDS PILOT

In the issue of Sept. 8 we published a
report of the wreck Of the steamer Lady
Elgin as told by the PILOT of September
IA, 1860. We desired to publish in con
nection with the report the poem Lost
on the Lady Elgin," commerating the
terrible disaster, but failed in our efforts
20 secure copy of it. Mrs Joseph
Chloupek of this city, mother of Judge
Chloupek has since furnished us with
the words of the poem, and we are
thankful to her for her act of courtesy.
Believing that the poem will be interest
ing to readers of the PILOT we herewith
publish it.
LOST ON THE LADY ELGIN."
Up from the poor mans cottage,
Forth from the mansion door;
Sweeping across the waters,
And echoing long the shore;
Caught by the morning breezes
Borne on the evening gale;
Cometh voice of mourning,
A sad and solemn wall
Chorus.
Lost on the Lady Elgin
Sleeping to wake no more;
Numbered in that three hundred,
Who fall to reach the shore,
Oh; tis the cry of children,
Weeping for parents gone;
Children who slept AT evening,
But orphans awoks at dawn,
Sisters for brothers weeping
Husbands for missing wives
Such are the ties dissever'd
With those three hundred lives.
Chorus.
Staunch was the noble steamer
Precious the freight she bore.
Gaily she loosed her cables
A few short hours before,
Grandly she swept our harbOr.
Joyfully rang her bell;
Little thought we ere morning,
'Twould toll so sad knell
Chorus
Lost on the Lady Elgn
Sleeping to wake no more;
Numbered in that three hundred.
Who failed to reach the shore
