CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

The council met in regular session
Monday evening. Schroeder was the
only absentee.
VIM. Aumann made written pro-
test against the j. G.. johnson Com
pany being permitted to erect a plat
form scale on Goth. street six feet from
petitioners lot line. 1t went to the
5th ward committee.
The G. A. r. returned as unspent
$2S.27 Of the $3.50 appropriated for
Memorial day expense.
A resolution was adopted ordering
by name sprinkling on all streets now
being served.
Schellin at last secured "a vote on
one of his pet projects, surface
drainage sewer on Madison street. 1t
required II votes to pass and it receiv-
ed but 8. Schellin fought bravely but
the necessity for borrowing the money
from some other sewer district was
fatal He then sulked all evening and
nursed his wrongs.
Walter Bahr will get the $40 held up
last meeting on sewer contract.
A report of the night school affairs
by the Board of Education was read.
1t costs about $1,000 season to conduct
the school.
The proposed ordinance adopting the
general charter provisions permitting
the assessment of abutting property
for water mains was threshed over
again and made an order of business
for July 18th, to enable citizens to pro-
test if they want to do SO.
The police were instructed to en-
force the ordinance prohibiting riding
on sidewalks.
The historical point of whether or
not assessors have in the past delayed
the works of the Board of Equaliza-
tions by not having the rolls ready,
was debated. 1t was not decided.
An ordinance adopting rules of the
road was introduced by Plumb by re-
quest. 1t provides for all possible con-
ditions in great detail. AS introduced
it prohibits two persons riding on a
motorcycle unless it is done in "decor-
Gus postures.n 1t is an adoption of the
Milwaukee code.
800 to help along a sane fourth was
appropriated.
The unpaid water works tax was
credited to the treasurer, the city pay
ing three-fourths and the city water
commission one-fourth.
City Treasurer Mueller submitted a
report covering two months, April and
May. For April the receipts of the
Office totaled S505, including 1927 from
the Traction Co. in settlement of city
claims and in May the total was 81, 1854,
rs, which included $l,S59 insurance
premiums received from the State.

Some considerable comment has
been occasioned on matter resulting
from exercises held on Commencement
Day, June |. The superintendent, in
announcing the results Of the contests
and awarding the medals, stated that
the girl who received the silver medal
awarded by Rosa M. Cheney of the
Training School for the second highest
diploma got her education under adj
verse circumstances. No mention was
made Of her teacher Mt that time or
anyone else to whom credit may be
given, but ! do wish to say now that
the girl herself and also her teacher
who worked hard with her, deserve
considerable credit. 1t seems some
one else felt considerably hurt and i'm
piled from the remarks mado that this
party received no credit at all, and in
letter, which was certainly not very
complimentary, received by the super
intendent, some scathing remarks were
made, and the matter also taken up in
another manner with the people Of
this community, wherein the teacher
in question and her loyal supporters
did not have much recourse.
TO set matters right as facts will sub
stantiate, the girl was ready and about
TO take the diploma examination last
year, but at the time Of examination
was sick and did not attend. From her
excellent record this year, it is very
probable she would have received a
second honor diploma last year, and
this would have been before the girl
had attended any other school except
Joint ?, Town OF Franklin. For the
last few months of last year the girl
was In some other school la all her
school life, she had attended some
other school, but Joint District No. >,

WATER WORKS.

The city spoke most emphatically in
favor of waterworks at the special
election on Tuesday. The majority in
total vote OF 800, is 557' There were
cast in favor of the proposition 7ll
votes; against 1856. The total vote cast
is much larger than was expected, and
the verdict in favor of the works
greatly exceeds the expectations of the
most sanguine. The number of votes
cast in favor of the proposition is quite
a majority Of the entire vote OF the
city, which last fall was | ,l2O, an un
usually full vote.
The council will in all probability
enter into contract as speedily As
possible with some responsible com
pany and the works will be in opera.

DIED

Mrs. Walter Peterson, aged "a years,
died suddenly at her home near Marsh
field last Friday morning. Heart fail
ure was the cause of her death. She
was apparently as well as usual when
her husband left home to go to the
cheese factory but when he returned
an hour later she was lying in the
yard, dead, with her four year old
daughter by her side. Mrs. Peterson
formerly resided here up to year and
a half ago when the family moved onto
farm near Marshfield. Her maiden
name was Mary Heiser and she was a
native of the town of Gibson. She
was married to Walter Peterson Oct.
10, 1907, who with one child survive
her. She also leaves four brothers,
and two sisters.
The body was brought here for
burial. The funeral was held Tues
day morning from Sacred Heart
church.

JEFF DAVIS ADDRESS TO HIS ARMY.
Executive Office, June 2, 1862. To
the army of Richmond; | render to
you my grateful acknowledgements for
the gallantry and good conduct you
displayed in the battles of the 3lst of
May, and 1st inst, and with pride and
pleasure recognize the steadiness and
intrepidity with which you attacked
the enemy in position, captured his ad-
vanced intrenchments, several batter
les of artillery and many standards, and
everywhere drove them from the open
field.
AT part of your operations it was
my fortune to be present. On no other
occasion nave witnessed more of calm
ness and good order than you exhibited
while advancing into the very jaws of
death, and nothing could exceed the
prowess with which you closed upon
the enemy when sheet of fire was
blazing in your faces.
In the renewed struggle in which
you are on the eve of engaging, ask
and can desire but continuance of the
same conduct which now attracts the
admiration and pride of the loved ones
you have left at home.
You are fighting for all that is dear
est to men; and though opposed to a
foe who disregards many of the usuages
of civilized war; you" humanity to the
wounded and the prisoners was the fit
and crowning glory to your valor.
Defenders of a just cause, may God
have you in his holy keeping.
Jefferson Davis.

Our county Judge is one of the most
Industrious men we ever saw, ever
since his induction into office in January
last, he has been most prompt in at
tendance at his office. Although living
in Two Rivers, and obliged to travel
fourteen miles every day, we believe he
has not once failed in arriving in Mani
towoc 'on time" Thanks to our
healthy climate, it is seldom that a
death occurs in our county, which
leaves Judge Pierpont without bus-
ness. In fact, we believe the fees of
his Office thus far have not amounted
to enough to pay his plank road toll.
But still he is bound to be on hand
during business hours.

MUGS

TN the Governments new assay Office on
i Wall-st., New York, there IS a corner that
looks very much like a mug rack in a country
barber shop, where every customer has his IN
djvidual mug highly decorated in gilt letters
On this rack are perhaps fifty crucibles Tor
melting down gold. The crucibles are decor
ated with crude initials and numerals, and are
the property Of the biggest gold mining cor
norations in North and South America.
The reason for the individual mugs IS that
the CLAW Of crucibles takes up a considerable
quantity Of gold in the process OF smelling
which otherwise would be lost to the Gus
toner bringing the gold to the Government
~ be refined. After two or three smelung5
the CLAW is saturated and takes up no more
gold. When it is finally succeeded by a ne"
crucible. it is returned to the customer to be
broken up for its hidden gold;
Mugs that are used for melting down ran
dom lots Of gold are carefully preserved by
tho Government rcfncrs and sold. Uncle
sam pockets the proceeds, as, in these ran
dom lots. there is no way OF computing 10
what amount each Of perhaps twenty Gus
toners NAV be entitled It's only the smelt-
mo concern that sells the Government
enough gold at one time to monopohze a
eingle melting, that obtains the night to a
mug on the rack.
