The second ward of this city will
hardly be like its former self with Tom
Windiate living elsewhere. For years
and years Tom has been a shining
light-a kind of business and political
oracle. Now he has become n rustic
and has quit city life and city ways.
1t wouldn't seem just natural not to
have Tom to 'swap lies" with when
there Is time for social converse.

EDUCATIONAL.
(BY c. w. MEISNEST.)

The county commencement exercises
were held last Saturday. Though
there was a heavy rain early in the
morning and it looked like wet day,
the attendance was large. Nearly all
the members of the class were present
to receive their diplomas. The con-
tests were held in the courthouse in
the forenoon and the program for the
afternoon in the Turner Opera House
was carried out as published, with one
or two exceptions. Those who partici-
pated in the program did remarkably
well. The speaking and singing re-
flected credit alike upon pupils and
teachers. Supt. 2. j. Zimmers de-
livered the address which contained
much food for thought. At the con-
clusion of the address the superinten-
dent presented the diplomas.

Blaine's speech on the Irish question
is fair counterpart for Gladstone's
speeches on the same question in the
House OF Commons. And just such n
supplement to Gladstone's addresses
was needed in the United States, and
from man Of commanding position
both intellectually and politically. It
is resume OF Irish history and is re-
cital of their grievances by man who
can state facts succinctly and forcibly.
The Irish people may gratulate
themselves on having an advocate OF
such pre-eminence.

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES.
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

DOUGLAS Is DEAD.--This is the sad
dest record that our pen has ever
made; and our heart is so overwhelmed
with grief while being called upon to
make the announcement, that we ut
terly fail for words fit to be spoken on
the melancholy event.
The Hero and Statesman upon whom
rested the hopes of millions of people
to bring this great nation out of its
present terrible crisis, is no more.
While the Nation mourns the loss of
one of its bravest and noblest sons, it
is proud of the record he has left be-
hind him, which will ever remain a
rich legacy to the people of 'the best
government under heaven" in a com
ing time, and his memory will be cher
ished by those who may hereafter en-
Joy the blessings of that government
which he so nobly and bravely, to the
very last, fought to maintain.
The noble Douglas is dead but he
died as all heroes love to die, with his
armor on. His deeds will live in the
minds of free people, and will yet
conquer for this country the great VIC
tory of principles they were designed
to achieve, and the name of their auth
or will ever stand high on the rolI of
immortality!
Stephen A. Douglas was born on the
23rd of April, 1913, in Brandon, Rut-
land county, Vermont, and died on the
Bird day of June, 1861, in Chicago, H.
inois.

Mr.. Frank A. Miller, president board
of education, Manitowoc, Wis.
Dear sir: Inspector Terry's report
of his visit to your school on May IL
and Is is very favorable and contains
no suggestions for your consideration.
Although the building is too small
and not well adapted to the work OF
a high school as large as yours, the
excellent management and the strong
force of teachers appear to have sue
cessfully met the difficulties and the
inspector reports the school in first
class general condition.
The equipment is satisfactory and
the janitor service is well done. Ev-
cry effort seems to be made to keeI
the building as clean sanitary and
inviting as is possible under the con-
ditions.
AS Mr.. Terry discussed the work OF
the individual teachers, as he saw it,
very fully with Superintendent Iim.
mers and Principal Brooks, need not
repeat his comments here.
Assuring you of my pleasure in re-
ceiving SO favorable report, | re.
