START COMMISSION HOUSE.

l.. Conan " co. of Chicago opened a
commission house at 105 Chicago street
in this city during the past week.
The new concern will deal exclusively
in fruits and vegetables and expect to
do large business in this line here.
The city has.been somewhat behind
others of its size in not having such an
institution here, and merchants here
were compelled TO send to similar
houses in other cities for supplies of
fresh fruits and vegetables. The new
concern expects TO receive consigu
ments Of these articles daily and in the
future local merchants can have their
orders filled here.

THIEVES GET BUSY.

Four places, all business houses,
were broken into by thieves last Thurs
day night, but only about ten dollars
was realized from the whole set of
operations by way of plunder.
The Manitowoc Foundry and mach
inc company was the only loser, al
though the American Seating Co, The
Manitowoc Church & School Supply
Co. and the Manitowoc Mattress Co.
were searched for booty. The police
were notified as soon as the facts of
the burglaries were discovered, but no
arrests have been made thus far 1t
is supposed that the work was all done
by the same crowd of burglars.

THE COUNTY FAIR.

The weather did the usual thing on
county fair week, by breaking so badly
last Thursday that no races could be
held on that day and as result the
fair was continued through Saturday.
The attendance during the entire show
is said to have been much less than
the record of any Of the past few years.
The usual reports as TO the fair being
discontinued we're in circulation inn
mediately after its close but none of
the officers Of the association would
commit themselves on this phase of its
business. The county board this year
appropriated $500 to the association
and this will probably Offset any de-
hcioncy in receipts due to poor attend
anCe.

The Gar Boil.

One Of the best known bells In the
world has. strange to say. never been
rung-that known as the Car kolokol,
or the cZar bell. This bell Is said to
be the largest anywhere. There Is an
interesting history attached to 1t.
When it had been cast. attempt was
made to hang it so that 1t might be
rung, but by an unhappy chance 1t
broke from its supports and fell to the
ground, wherein 1t made great hole,
into which it sank and lay for many
years. Finally. after more than hun
dred years OF oblivion, 1t was raised
and placed in public square In Mos
COW, where 1t now stands. This bell
weighs more than 100000 pounds and
is more than nineteen feet In height
and sixty feet In circumference.

DOLLIVER SPEAKS HERE,

Senator Jonathon =. Dolliver of To-
"a spoke to an audience of about three
hundred people at the new opera house
tuesday evening in the interest of the
hndidacy of Senator La Toilette who
endeavoring to continue to repre-
bnt Wisconsin in the L. S. Senate.
enator Dolliver, who has had twenty
We years of experience in Congress,
5 a member first of the House of Re
resentatives and at present of the
enate, is one of the best platform or
tors in either house. For many years,
nd until very recently, he represented
hat was known as the "Stand-pat'
bea in Iowa, and voted and worked
it'll the element of the republican
arty now classed as conservative. He
Dnfessed in the course of his speech
nat recently he had become "awaken-
A. and that now he was opposing the
hterests he formerly was allied with.
The speech was a very entertaining
nd instructive one, particularly from
democratic standpoint, as the speak
did not spare either those opposed
his views in congress, the president
the United States, or the members
the cabinet, from shafts of ridcule,
harges of malfeasance in Office and
olitical trickery-sometimes eXcus-
bile because of Ignorance and stupid
y-and general lack of the know
Fdge necessary to properly govern a
reat people. The present tariff law,
he new railway law, and various 9TH
h legislative measures were discussed.
In the discussion of the tariff law
ldrich received varied assortment
compliments from the speaker, and
explaining the new railway bill, at
brney general Wickersham was ac-
used of willful duplicity which the
oeaker explained was all that might
expected from "a repentant little
rust lawyer from New York; who had
cen made attorney general. Presi-
ent Taft was repeatedly criticised and
heered at and the general implication
as that all who did not fully agree
ith the insurgents were either know
hgly or ignorantly dishonest to their
rusts as public officials. The speaker
raised Senator LaFollette and advised
is hearers to vote for his return to
flee. He explained his own presence
ere by saying that LaFollette was too

lrgents made clear to the people of

Camel Carriages.

Camel carriages are not common
conveyauces In most parts of India,
but on the great trunk road leading
TO Delhi they are frequently to be seen.
They are large, double story wagons,
drawn sometimes by one. sometimes
by two or even three camels, accord
ing to their size. Iron bars which give
them a cagelike appearance were orig
inally intended as defense against
robbers, and the carts we're probably
also used for the conveyance Of pris-
OnerS.

EDUCATIONAL.
BY G. w. MEISNEST

The Manitowoc high school opens
next Tuesday September 6. Superin-
tendent ZimmerS, Prof. Brooks and
others have worked faithfully during
the summer to get everything in shape
for the opening day. The change in
systems from the district system to
the Central system has created much
extra work, but will undoubted result
in a united better high school. The
new high school will be located in the
West Side Building, opposite Wash
ington park. The building has been
entirely remodeled and is in excellent
shape. All the departments are well
fitted out.
Five courses are offered to students.
The two most popular courses will un-
doubtedly be the Commercial Course,
and Manual Training course. In the
Commercial course all the branches
needed to fill business position are
given. Thorough work will be done
in these branches. Students will be
able to take positions directly after
graduation, Should a student not be
inclined to commercial work and yet
wish to take up something that will
help him most, right after graduation,
the Manual Training Course would be
the best to pursue. For general
education it does not matter so much
which course to pursue, but in all
cases it will be best to consult with
Prof. Brooks as to your wants, and the
nature of your course.
Education should be preparation
for life, and we should aim to reach
the masses rather than the classes. If
the high school is destined to be the
greatest educational institution of
modern democracy it must accommo-
tate the masses, and surely the Board OF
Education and the superintendent have
spared no means nor effort in making
the Manitowoc High School what
every high school should aim to be
udIntlN, al SCllbOl IOi al tll' ptollit
Offering and emphasizing the practical
rather than the purely cultural sub
jects.
All students will be allowed to take
a certain number of elective studies.
For instance a student in the Com
mercial course may elect TO do some
work in Manual training, or domestic
science. one strong feature of the
work is the requirement of four years
of English in all the courses. The
subject of English has usually been
neglected in schools, and consequently
students have graduated weak in
English composition, letter writing,
spelling etc. These are the things that
loom TO Il business man when he seeks
assistance in his Office, and because of
these weaknesses applicants have often
lost positions.
The Manitowoc High School will be
a free high school, that is, pupils who
have finished their home school may
attend this high school without paying
any tuition. The tuition will be paid
by the town in which they live, un-
less, of course, the student wishes to
pay his own tuition.
