SKETCHES.

Jere Crowley, the founder and first
editor of The Pilot, was man OF very
attractive personality, "a quality which
contributed largely to the success OF his
newspaper. Before its appearance, an
other paper the Manitowoc Herald &C.
cupied the field here and was identified
with the Democratic party. When the
PILOT came into being, the rivalry be.
tween the two papers was intense, and
was tinged with bitterness. In the
presidential campaign of 1860, The PILOT
supported Douglas and the Herald sup.
ported Breckenridge. Some time after
the close of that campaign, the latter
paper suspended publication, and The
PILOT then became the recognized organ
of its party in this county. Thenceforth
until his health failed, Mr.. Crowley
welded very considerable influence in
the councils of his party not only in the
county but in the state as we'll. When
illness came upon him and made 1t
necessary for him to have assistance in
his editorial work. Henry Sibree did
considerable writing for The PILOT.
Mr.. Sibree was very wellread man, of
pronounced literary tastes, and was a
ready and persuasive writer.
Ellery B. Treat succeeded Mr.. Crowley
as editor of The PILOT. Mr.. Treat was
q lawyer by profession, and for some
time his attention was divided between
his law business and his newspaper
work. Under his management, the pa
per held its ground fairly we'll, but was
less of political force than it had been
when Mr.. Crowley was at his best.
Ten Eyck Olmstead owned The PILOT
for several years after Mr.. Treat parted
with it. Mr.. Olmstead was man of
strong character. He formed positive
opinions, and he often gave them posi-
tive expression in his newspaper. He
occasionally applied to himself Senator
Zach Chambers reputed remark, that
he never pretended to be one of them
literary fellers." Notwithstanding
that Mr.. Olmstead's editorials made no
pretension to literary polish, their vigor
of statement and picturesque phraseology
made them interesting reading, and
particularly so to any person who en-
gagged in newspaper controversy with
MIR. Olmstead.
Mr.. Crowley was at one period clerk
of the circuit court for this county
During several years he was its county
superintendent of schools.
Mr.. Olmstead also held the Office of
clerk of the circuit court, think. He
was county judge during one term, from
1874 to 1873.
Mr.. Treat was for some time district
attorney of this county, an Office which
was also held for one or more terms by
Mr.. Sibree.
John Nagle became the owner and
editor OF the paper when 1t passed out
Of Mr. Olmstead's hands. Under Mr.
Nagle's editorship, The PILOT attained
higher rank in the newspaper world
than it had formerly held, and was re.
garded as one of the leading weeklies in

LETTER FROM A FRIEND.

1t is beautiful mid summer day
From now on we can look forward to
and enjoy the most ideal weather of our
seasons, which lasts until the end Of
October.
am busy in River View park, and
my nose is baked as red as lobster
To prevent further "lobsterization"
have sought the shade on the river bank,
and drop at once into reminiscent
mood-to my boyhood days when 60
years ago | wendell my way past this
very spot towards the cemetery which
see with its white monuments to the
northwest and am sadly reminded Of
my dearest--the many friends and ac-
quaintances who rest there in eternal
peace.
! am also reminded of John Maggie
with whom | sat here on the river bank,
and called his attention to this beauty
spot and said;-"John when ! get old
q was old then but didn't realize it,
'and my bones begin to ache-contined
to my rooms, this is the spot, where the
magnificent view will distract the mind
from the struggles of life. Yes, ! should
like to end my days here, and so
shall.
While thus meditated, some one re-
minded me that the PILOT would cele
brate its 50th anniversary with this
week 4 issue.
Well, well, this historical event must
not pass by without notice.
Let me seel-Jere Crowley was its
founder. He was a radical Bourbon
Democrat, as bad rs this may be- gave
him credit for supporting Lincoln. He
gave the helm of the PILOT to +. B.
Treat, quiet, genial gentleman who in
turn gave ii to T. G.. Olmstead, a jolly
character, who sold to John Maggie, the
philosopher, rank free trader, with
whom | had many discussions on the
tariff. All these have passed away, and
the paper is now piloted by the conserva-
tive E. S. Grove who during his editor
ship, generally speaking, has made nc
enemies-has shown that he is possessed
of sound business ability, which assures
him prosperous future. The PILOT in
all its 80 years existence, has always
steered true course, never left in it,
wake a yellow streak-never was abu
sive-but practical and moderate in all
its editorials. May 1t continue in the
even tenor of this course is the wish OF
Yours truly,

Why long to visit lands remote
Whose beauties charm the eye:
Where could we find farer spot
Beneath farier sky
Aye here's place to live and die,
Without wish to roam;
Our natal spot long good bye
We've found another home
Then Cheeriy we'll raise the cry
We never wish to roam,
For there's no place like Wisconsin,
Our wild Wisconsin home!
And truly at no distant day,
Our home was wild and drear;
The grey wolf was hunted for his prey
Among the antlered deer
The troops of painted Indians here,
With stealthy steps have come
To scalp the hardy pioneer.
And spoil his forest home;
But now we fear no danger near,
For better days have come,
And there's no place like Wisconsin,
Our wild Wisconsin home!
The painless woods have disappeared.
The prairies waive with green;
And sounds of industry are heard
Throughout our whole domain.
Now taste and wealth united reign,
Religion wears her dome
While busy commerce flows amain
And learning finds home
Then raise again the blithe refrain.
Loud ring the welkin dome
Oh. there's no place like Wisconsin,
Our wild Wisconsin home
The far, far west at length has ceased
To have a distant sound,
Her hardy sons, the teeming East
Sends forth to till our ground
And wandering pilgrims here abound.
Who We crossed the oceans foam,
And found within our ample bounds
a peaceful happy home,
Their songs resound home we've found
Across the oceans foam,
Oh. there no place like Wisconsin,
Our wild Wisconsin home!
Upon our chosen favorite state
Our warmest blessings rest;
Still rich and prosperous be her fate.
The Belle of all theWest.
Betde what may, we'd love her best,
Nor ever seek to roam.
And in her broad and fertile breast
Well find our final home,
SO here we Il rest here end our quest,
No more vel II seek to roam,
For there's no place like Wisconsin.
Our wild Wisconsin home.

 Mrs. Hardy is partially demented having for several years been an in- mate of the East Mississippi Insane Hospital at Meridian. and for this reason Dr. Hardy disregarded in his will the statutory provision which gives the widow one-half of her bus. bands estate.

MOBILE LIQUOR CASE
CUSTODIANS NAmhiD FOR THE CON-

Motion Made In Court To Dissolve Search Warrants and Hearing
 Is Set For Next
 Tuesday

Mobile. April 10--(Special. )--while more warrants for alleged violators of the State prohibition law were ex pected to be sworn out today by the Law and Order Leaguers, they were not made and the latest developments in the case were today when the judge of the Inferior Court appointed custo- dians of the seized liquors and a mo- ton was filed to dissolve the search warrant served on E. M. Johnson and Company. This case is set down for hearing Tuesday.
 All the warrants were returned to- day by the sheriff to Judge Jules E. Afford, of the Inferior Court, and they reported seizures at the Battle House and Cawthon hotels. and B. M. John son and Company.
 Judge Afford. owing to the large amount of liquors which were seized. appointed Winston Jones as bailee for the stock seized at E. M. Johnston and Company, and Sidney Lowenstein was made bailee for the stock seized at the Cawthon and Battle House. This was done owing to impossibility of moving the stocks to the court room to be held as evidence.
 Attorneys who. have been retained by the saloon men. today filed mo- ton in the Inferior Court asking that the search warrant served on E. M Johnston be dissolved, the motion de- nying all the facts set forth in the serach warrants. This motion was set down for hearing next Tuesday.
 It was rumored and expected that more warrants would be sworn out to- day for prohibition violators. but the Law and Order League detectives made no move to cause any more arrests
