EAGLES MINS1REis.

The local aerie of Eagles staged a
minstrel show last Wednesday evening
at the opera house.
The reputation of the performers Sc
cured last year sold out the house days
before the performance. The perform
ance was genuine old fashioned
black face show in which the many
modern features introduced did not de-
tract from the elements that made the
old-style performance so popular years
ago. The affair was prepared and stag
ed without professional assistance and
in view of this fact was wonderfully
well done. Numberless clever jibes at
local person and affairs were well re-
ceived. The musical numbers disclos-
ed talent and conscientious prepara-
ton. A dance followed the perform
ance.
The fact that many of the 400 ticket
holders could not gain admission and a
desire to give everyone chance has
induced the management TO stage the
show again which will be done at the
Orpheum, Saturday, December 9.

ELKS MEMORIAL SERVICES.

In each of the 400 lodges of Elks in
the United States memorial services
for deceased brothers are held annually
on the first Sunday in December.
Manitowoc Elks conducted their SER
vices at their lodge rooms last Sunday
afternoon. The lodge hall was ap-
propriately decorated, and was filled to
its capacity. The memory of the late
George Burger, the only member to
die since the last preceding services
was given special attention. The fol-
lowing program was carried out
Regular memorial ritual; Music, Urban
trio: Prayer, Rev. j. Oliphaht; Solo,
Mrs. W. Nelson; In Appreciation of
George B. Burger. Emil Baensch;
Music, Urban trio: Memorial Address,
r. G. Plumb, p. +. r.; Solo, Mrs.
Nelson; Benediction, Rev. j. Oliphant
Miss Eugenia Chloupek presided at
the piano The music, instrumental
and vocal was of high order. The adj
dresses of Mr.. Plumb and Judge Baensch
were carefully prepared efforts and
showed it. The latter with happy
thought of the deceased brothers many
years as master ship builder closed
as follows:
"The character of George Burger
was laid upon an even keel, with hull
well balanced and of forceful will, the
open deck cabined with modesty and
bulwarked with kindness, masted with
sails of industry and topped with the
stainless flag of honesty, and thus
equipped he sailed the uncharted sea
of life, steering his course by the com
pass of right and truth"

CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

A regular session was held Monday
evening. Alderman Thorison has SER
. we'd seven years and has not missed
meeting in that time. He left his
bed at the hospital to come to this
meeting. All members were present.
The matter of refunding to the Trac-
tion company the portion of the Cleve-
land avenue improvement tax assessed
against it by mistake year ago was
disposed Of. 1t was resolved to ask the
company to take up the outstanding i'm
provement certificate and then the
city will pay him the excess.
Several sewer jobs were reported
finished and payment was ordered.
The chief of police reported the
names of many persons delinquent in
the matter of dog tax, and asked that
the matter be referred to the city at
torney. This was done with instruct
ions to the attorney not to be too harsh
with delinquents.
In electing the new water commits
sion the long term was filled by j. f.
Plumb by unanimous vote on the first
ballot. An inquiry to the mayor
brought forth from him that he would
accept election for the short term and
by unanimous vote the mayor was chos-
en- for the short term. His honor then
instead of proceeding to vote for
member for four years started to warn
the council about the Importance of
the positions and was quite insistent
that a member of the council be elect
ed This angered Goetzler who was
evidently running Herman Schmitz's
campaign and little tilt with the
mayor resulted. If the mayor was
trying to stop Schmitz, he failed,
the final vote being: Herman Schmitz
8, Frank Eggers, 3, Charles Fraz-
ier, 3. The body which will have
entire charge of the municipal water
works is composed of the following:
For six years John + Plumb
For four years Herman Schmitz
For two years Henry Stole, Jr.
1t will cost $75 to fix the basement
of the public library into polling
place and the money was ordered
spent. The fourth ward will now have
good and permanent quarters.
The city attorney recommended that
the special bridge claims committee
be authorized to settle the two horse
claims for 800 if they should deem it
advisable. The recommendation was
adopted. The claims committee was
requested to report at next meeting a
basis of settlement of the Franz claim.
Schellin reported that the city is GO
ing to pave some of the crossings with
asphalt over the present macadam, as
an experiment.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

John Goetz, a south side young man.
% years of age, underwent an expert
ence last Saturday that reads like an
adventure from a boys ''nickel dread
full" Goetz was employed with the
local firm of dock contractors, Pellett
and McMullen, and has lately been un-
dertaking the hazardous work of sub
mar he diving in the firms work on
the cotferdams OF the Oneida street
bridge at Milwaukee. Last Saturday
while down in his armor he overturned
and his heavy helmet and shoulder
plates held him head downward wedg-
ed between Two piles. He remained in
this position, deep under the surface of
the icy water for two hours and fifteen
minutes before the strenuous efforts to
release him were successful. Before
this time he had given up hope of life
and was taken out of his rubber suit in
a faint. The assistance of another di-
yer and pumps of the Milwaukee fire
department were requisitioned into the
rescue work. The unnatural position,
cold water and imminent peril of death
by even a slight break in the air sup
plying equipment produced two hours
of agony that few would come from
alive, but Goetz after a day in the hos
pital seems no worse for his adventure.
He is however dubious about continu-
ing the diving game. Goetz came home
Monday and can give graphic recital
of the adventure.
