FIFTY YEARS AGO.


FIFTY YEARS AGO.
MARINE-The schooner VIM. Al
drich, which was laid up in our river
the greater part of last season, is now
fitting up and getting ready for the
summers business. She will load at
Two Rivers today or tomorrow
Captain Henderson commands.
WAEAT AND RYE-We have seen
several fields of Wheat and Rye with
in the past week, and they look in
good condition. Our farmers are pre-
pared to put in large crops this spring,
which we trust will turn out profitable
TO them.
FATAL ACCIDENT-We learn that
Mrs. Hubbard, wife of Stephen
Hubbard, aged about 60 years, and re-
siding in the town of Franklin, was
burned to death one day last week.
She was engaged in sugar camp,
boiling syrup, when her clothes caught
fire from the flames, and her cries at
tracing the attention of two men
chopping near by, they fastened to
her relief. She was rescued from the
fire, but was so badly burned that
death ended her sufferings in few
hours. One of the men was also badly
burned in attempting to save her.
THAT HAT-F'or the information Of
the many friends who are daily quest
ioning us as to the place where we pro-
cured the handsome hat we now wear
we state that it came from the store
of +. Carus, next door to Goodenows-
that it is the latest Paris style, and
that he has lots of that as well as
other kinds on hand and that he sells
them cheap. Carus placed it on our
head, and told US to 90 to-Green
Bay, and we went.
LECTURE THIS EvENING-Ourf form
er fellow citizen, j. A. Bently, Esq,
will lecture before the young mems
Institute, at the Tabernacle, this
Friday evening.
TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO
Bernard Hanly of Liberty offers his
farm, stock and farming implements
for sale at auction on the sixth day of
April.
April first will come and go this
year and the river will remain locked
in ice. 1t is always called late
spring if the river is not free from ice
by April lst.
kellner and Sons have received their
new machinery for their -four mill,
and will have the rollers put in as
soon as the breakup comes when team
ing cannot be done.
DR.. and Mrs. kemper are spending
a few days in the city with friends be-
fore departing for their future home
in Missouri.
Theodore Teitgen of Newton was a
welcome caller at the PILOT Office on
Monday. Mr.. Teitgen is one of the
prince farmers of the county.
w. f. Nash of Two Rivers was in
the city Saturday and dropped into the
PILOT office to warm his hands. He
expects little spring poetry some
time in July.
The question of kissing has come to
rival that of roller skating. A New
York physician comes out against the
practice of kissing on the ground that
it Is means of communicating disease.
This will not make it less popular,
however. Again there are women
modest enough to resent being kissed
and others who mulct the kisser heavi-
ly in the courts for taking these
liberties. An Ohio woman
demanded $500 damages for being
kissed. The guilty swain pleaded in
sanity and the jury when they saw the
woman readily came to the conclusion
that he was either insane or idiotic,
and in either case not responsible, and
so he was acquitted.
Two Rivers, in common with other
cities, cursed with bowling ours, pass
ed an ordinance taxing dogs. The
treasury didn't grow plethoric from
this source of revenue. The report of
the proper official shows that one dog
was taxed But whats his name. or
where's his hame, they dinna choose
to tell Perhaps there was only one
kind of dog which was to be taxed, and
he was one in number. It NAV be
that Two Rivers has only one dog and
the honest pup paid the fee which
makes him law abiding canine with
privilege to live, and move and have
his bone. But what sad eyed pup
he must be, the only survivor of a
grand army which yelped the mid
night chorus with unwavering fidelity.
One city, one dog, two dollars license
money. That tells the tale of slaught-
