HAD A CLOSE CALL.

On last Thursday evening =. A. Mil
Ter had a narrow escape from death by
asphyXiation. He went upstairs about
I o'clock to take bath, leaving his
wife in the store. A small gas heater
was used to heat the water When the
water was heated sufficiently Mr.. Mil
Ter turned off the gas, or thought he
did, but it seems he failed to turn it
off completely. He soon noticed that
the air in the room was gaseous but
didn't pay much attention to it as
the gas company men had been at work
during the day repairing the pipes
When he attempted to leave the bath
room he fell on the floor. Mrs. Miller
soon heard means and ran upstairs
She was unable to gain entrance
to the bathroom, the door being
locked. She quickly called DR..
Staehle who lives close by. The
doctor forced an entrance and found
Mr.. Miller lying on the floor uncon-
scious. In the meantime DR.. Kemper
was called and both physicians worked
over Mr.. Miller for an hour before
they succeeded in resuscitating him.
Ho was all right the next day. Mr..
Miller conducts a grocery store on
Washington st. and is secretary of the
Manitowoc Citizens Association and
grand knight of the local council of
the Knights of Columbus.

AN ATTEMPTED ROBBERY

At any early hour last Friday morn
ing an attempt was made to rob the
Salak store on Eighth street. The
attempt was frustrated 10y the noise
the men made in forcing an entrance
through a window which alarmed one
of Salak's delivery boys who lives in a
building at the rear of the store. He
Immediately notified Mr.. Salak, who
lives about two blocks from the store.
In the meantime the burglars Skedad-
died and few hours later suspicious
looking character was arrested by

THE LECTURE AT TWO RIVERS

Jas. l.. O'COnnor of Milwaukee. EX-
Attorney General of Wisconsin, and
one of the leading lawyers of the state,
delivered lecture at Two Rivers
Monday evening, it being one Of the
numbers of the regular lecture course
of the local council Of the Knights of
Columbus. The speaker was introduced
by Hon. L. w. Ledvina. The lecture
was on the subject "The Catholic
church and the American Republic. =
The following are a few striking ideas
culled from an hours talk: History
has been written 10y religious partisanS
and modern study of original sources
is consigning many avolume of history
to the Shelf with DR.. Cooks history of
north pole discovery
Avery general idea, unsupported by
facts, is that the church has in its
history discouraged education and en-
lightenment.
OF the 10 seats of higher learning
in Europe today 50 were founded hy
the Catholic church. The church pre-
served from the barbarians who wreck
ed Roman civilization and handed on
to posterity the ancient classics and
art. In the 18th century there were
10000 students in the Catholic univer-
sity of Paris.
The republic is indebted for many
things to the church and her sons.
From Columbus down to the present
time they have shared with non-Cath-
olics the glory of serving her. The
founders of our government did not or
iginate the doctrine of the equality of
man. The church has taught it since
the time of Christ.
The church is deeply indebted to our
government. No where else on earth
not even in so-called Catholic countries
is the church as free from pernicous
interference, so free to practice her
rites unhindered.
There is not and can never be, any
conflict here between the church and
government, for the two are wisely and
etfectually separated and occupy Sc
parate spheres. The speaker asserted
that he was utterly opposed to any
agitation for the division Of the school
fund if for no other reason than that
it would destroy the independence of

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.


The following account OF the tragic
death Of Stephen Strouf in Montana,
who was well known IN the northern
part of this county, is taken from the
Stanford World, a paper published at
Stanford, Montana:
'Stephen Strouf was struck and in
stantly killed Tuesday, April l., by
lightning. An electrical storm that
was considered of no consequence was
just passing over. Mr.. Strouf had
stepped out of the house intending to
do some work on an irrigating ditch
near 10y, carrying for that purpose a
shovel. The bolt apparently attracted
by the shovel, passed the whole length
of Mr.. Strouf's body causing immediate
death.
stephen Strouf was born in Glen
more, Brown Co., Wis, forty-three
years ago, moving from that place to
Stanford in l9GS, when he settled six
miles northeast of town. He was held
IN high regard by his friends ana DUSl-

"A careful study has been made of
the causes of retardation. Age, sex col

partial explanation for the loss of time

however, is found to contribute more
to this result than irregular attend

defect; for its cure individual effort is
needed in every community From

Of Pennsylvania.
The "individual effort" referred to
above includes special effort on the
part of the parent, the teacher, the

With such effort, coupled with the
comprehensive compulsory education
law of Wisconsin the educational loss
due to retardation can be greatly di-
minished.

EDUCATIONAL.
(BY c. w. MEISNEST)

What is needed most of all is great
teachers. Other things are desirable
but good teachers are essential to
successful schools. \ school system
should be so organized as to develop
great teachers. A failure to accomplish
this end is the fatal defect of school
organization. y proper school system
should foster and develop great teach
ers by atfording opportunity, freedom
and incentive to the teachers. Any
other course defeats the end of ed
ucation and dooms the system to in
efficiency and failure. \ warning is
needed all over the land. The tend
ency is sto underestimate the value of the
class room teacher as compared with
the autocratic power of higher officials
and bodies. American Education
You may beautify your lovely parks
and pave your streets. You may glo-
