CAUGHT IN THE ACT.

Before going to press this morning
we learn that there was an attempt
made last night to burglarize the Kir-
by 10 cent store on Sth street. 1t
seems that the police department had
got wind of it and laid plans to capture
the burglars in case the attempt was
made. Officer Carle and the proprie-
tor were in the store and along towards
midnight they heard a racket at the
rear end and soon afterward the tran
som window was knocked out and a
man crawled through. He was scarce
ly on the floor when he was told to hold
up his hands by officer Carle. He sur
rendered without any fuss and was
taken to jail. His name is Frank
Thornton. He resides on the south
side and has wife and two children.
He will be arraigned in municipal
court this afternoon. There were two
others outside who made their escape.

WITS FAMILY TAKE OVER
ALUMINIUM MFG. COMPANY.

News was received here on Monday
of this week that the control of the
Aluminium Goods Mfg. Co. of Newark.
N. j., which company controlled a
plant at Newark, the plant formerly
known as the Aluminium Novelty Com
pany of this city and the Two Rivers
Aluminium Company, had been pur-
chased by Henry Wits and his sons and
that they now control this organiza-
ton. The Aluminium Goods Mfg. Co.
is one of the largest concerns engaged
in the manufacture of Aluminium goods
and novelties.
The deal for the purchase Of the con-
trolling interest involves a large a.
mount of money, reported at about
5000, 900. 1t is about or little more
than two years since the merger of
the three plants mentioned above was
made and at that time the new COM
pany elected'C. a. Kruttschnitt of Ne
wark, n. j. general manager and j.
G. Coleman of Newark was chosen to
the offices of secretary and treasurer
of the company, while George Wits and
Hugo Wits of this city held the Offices
of general sales manager and vice
paesident respectively. Under the new
management the eastern officers of the
company will withdraw and George
Wits will be named as president while
Hugo Wits will be secretary and trea-
surer of the company
The head office of the concern will
be located at Manitowoc and will pro-
badly involve an increase of the Office
plant and the erection of new build
ing for the furnishing of sufficient
room for the operation of the business.
The local plant now employs about
100 people, while the Newark plant
had force Of about POO people at work
and the Two Rivers plant had a some
what smaller number.
The industry at the local plant has
been developed largely under the busi-
ness management of Henry Wits and
the splendid success of the plant has
been due very largely to his careful
business management and excellent
judgment. The people Of this city viii
welcome the improvement and increase
at the local plant, as it has been for
several years past one of the city's
best industries.

INJURED BY FALL ON WALK.

Mrs. Caroline Fricke, the mother of
William Fricke, fell on anicy side walk
on 2Oth street and Western Ave. Satur-
day afternoon and fractured her arm
bone above the wrist and received a
severe shock. Owing to the advanced
age of Mrs. Fricke and the injury she
received she has been seriously i'll since
the accident. The icy side walks of
the city have been for some time past
a constant source of injury to those
who are compelled to use them and as
the number Of people travelling at this
season of the year is large, it is cause
for surprise that other accidents Of this
character have not been reported.

CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

At the regular meeting of the city
council on Monday evening the ques-
tion of whether the city should pro-
ceed at once to purchase the property
of the Manitowoc Water Works Co.
here, was the principal topic under
consideration. The matter had been
brought up at the previous meeung
and had been laid over for two weeks
under the rules. On Monday evening
a resolution was introduced providing
for the purchase of the plant by the
city under the Public Utility Law and
with practically no discussion the re-
solution was carried by vote OF l. TO
.. This means that the city has de-
cided to proceed at once to acquire the
property and notice to that effect has
been forwarded to the Public Utility
Commission to the end that they may
complete the valuation of the local
water works as speedily as possible.
Under the Utility Law the com
mission has ninety days after the SER
vice of said notice to complete and
furnish to the city proposing to pur-
chase utility, the price fixed by the
Commission as the value Of such
utility. 1t is not probable that any
election will be held on the matter as
at the last election at which the ques-
tion of the purchase of the plant was
submitted to vote of the people the
vote was very largely in favor OF pro-
ceeding to purchase the plant then 10y
condemnation proceedings under the
Utility Law and as the city has waited
since that time for the commission to
fix value on the plant without any
other proceedings having been taken
it is held that this election is all that
is necessary to- enable the city to pro-
ceed with the acquiring OF the plant at
once. Recent reports of the railroad
commission show that the plant is on a
first class financial basis as to its earn
ing capacity and that the physical
property of the plant is in good con-
dition so that so far as can he deter
mined now the city will not be at any
disadvantage in acquiring the plant at
the present time.
The resolution introduced at pre-
vious meeting to have the assembly
man of this district bring before the
state tax commission the matter of the
assessment of the property in this city,
was taken up and after some discussion
on the matter the council voted to
table the resolution. No objection
was made to the city as whole but
the object of the resolution was to pro-
vide for more equitable assessments OF
various holdings of property within
the city and when it was learned that
the probable effect of the resolution
would be a re-asSesSment of the entire
city the aldermen decided that they
did not wish to have any such PROPOSE
tIon undertaken.

OUR HARBOR.-The completion of a
harbor at this place, at an early day, is
a subject which is now engrossing the
public mind to a very great extent.
Our people are now talking about what
they should have done years ago. In a
pecuniary point, good and safe har-
Dor at Manitowoc is matter of vital
Importance to every property holder
and producer in the whole county.
This village is not the only recipient
of benefits, but every farmer within
forty miles is Immediately and directly
interested in its completion.
1t may be safely set down as a fact
that the want of harbor at this point
the past fall, has taken at least five
thousand dollars out of the pockets of
the farmers of this county, and that
before the present crop is marketed
they will lose not less than twenty-five
thousand dollars-a sum large enough
20 build and complete one of the best
e. ors on the lakes.
% ,"c sh'.,..aae the loss of money
to our county, year after year, is it not
the part Of wisdom in our people to un-
ite together, and in some feasible man
ner prevent this heavy drain? If the
citizens of town and county, the farm
ers, merchants, and property holders
see their true interests, they will inn
mediately take measures to accomplish
such a desirable object. Twenty
OF thirty thousand dollars expended
now, will save hundreds of thousands
hereafter.

The latest report from Mr.. Rankin
are to the effect that he is steadily
growing weaker and has partially lost
the use of his lower limbs. But his
cheerfulness remains unabated and the
papers express surprise while relating
his jokes, Lately he was having his
hair cut when he cautioned the barber
to do it well as it might be the last
time and he wanted his hair to be all
right when he joined the angels.
When some of his fellow congress-
men demonstrated with him for being
present in the house when seats were
drawn, he laughingly explained he
wanted a seat that would show off well
when put in mourning. While con-
tracing for his rooms he was asked if
he wanted them for the season. He re-
piled his executor would pay no rent
after he himself were gone.
