welded FIFTY YEARS.

Saturday was the fiftieth anniversary
of the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Karl
Zander. Mrs. lander before her mar
riage was Miss Elizabeth Lindstedd.
Light-hearted fifty years ago, as lovers
they were still so Saturday as they re-
ceived their friends who had come to
congratulate them at the home of their
daughter, Mr.. Chas. Frazier, where
they have resided the past fifteen
years They were married at the home
of the bride in Two Rivers by Justice
Roberts. Shortly after the marriage
Mr.. lander enlisted ia the army.
Mr.. and Mrs. Zander are well known
and highly respected people of the
city. Mr.. Zander was formerly en-
gagged in business, being the founder
of the Manitowoc Building Supply
company. They have two daughters,
Mrs. Chas. Frazier of this city and
Mrs. Henry wilkins Of Nesson City,
Mich: Mr. Zander is 81 years of age

BREWERY OWNED SALOON TO 60.

A corporation styled the Realty
Company of Manitowoc has been or
ganzed and will take over all the pro-
perties owned by the local breweries
in which saloons are conducted. 1t is
said that this move is first step to-
ward abolishing the brewery owned
saloon in Manitowoc. Whether it is
done as voluntary move or through
fear of legislation hostile to the brew
cry saloon which many think will be
enacted at the next session is not given
out. One officer of each of the three
local breweries is an incorporation of
the new company. 1t is not probable
that any legislative act aiming at the
abolition of the brewery owned saloon
will permit the breweries to own them
through holding company.

EZRA SPEAKS HIS MIND AS USU

EZRA SPEAKS HIS MIND AS USUAL
He who knows what sweets and vir-
tues are in the ground, the waters, the
plants, the heavens, and how to come
at these enchantments, is the rich and
royal man.-Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Full many boy who's country-bred
desires to leave the old homestead to
hike along the great White Way,
where dollars roll and all seems gay.
He kind o somehow gifts hunch that
he'd enjoy the midnight lunch with
Dotty Dare, the Chorns Queen Qike
picters in some magazine.) He longs
to deal in stocks and bonds, to write
big checks and clip coupons: and
mebbe he'd endow college and have
his name mixed up with knowledge.
He yearns to cut an urban dash-to
make the city puddle splash TO such
as he, life on II farm has lost attrac-
tiveness and charm. But afore he
seeks metropolis, just have the lad
consider this: The country life that
irksome seems in truth and health and
freedom teens; and city bricks are
dull indeed beside the smallest way
side weed and many city fellers yet
have never seen a real sunset. Fat
cattle waitin' at the bars beat city
fats and trolley cars. And any honest
country girl beats Dotty Dancers Tip
toe Whirl. Besides, what's best OF
all, We know, like wheat and corn his
soul kin grow; and with that growth
he will secure more for his soul when
it's mature, IL wuz full Of youth s
sunshine, I'd take the open fields fer
mine-for work is WORK the whole
world through-say, youngster, how's S
it look to you?--E. r. Mcintyre, in
State Register.
The above states, in attractive form,
a truth that should be better known to
young people of the farm, and better
appreciated by the older ones.
That so much of our school educa.
tion has to do with city life and city
business, is the blunder of the age.
Let us help the movement, now be.
ginning, to teach the profit, beauty and
healthfulness of rural life. No other
class Of people today have so great an
influence in our state as the farmers
when they are organized. The city
boy, who ridicules the frrmer boys, is
to be pitied for his ignorance.

FIRST REPORT.

MISS Cldfd harper, Juc ViolliuS
nurse who is to spend six months in
the county, made her first report Fri
day at meeting of the Anti-Tuber-
culosis society, held at the library.
Following is the report:
"Madam, President and members OF
the Anti-Tuberculosis and Health
society:
81 beg leave to submit the following
report: tuberculosis patients found,
5; suspected cases, 2; total I. Calls
upon clergy, doctors and educators, lS;
Ladies' Aid members, 6; advisory
visits to patients, 90.
81 found two houses where tuber-
culosis patiSdts had died had not been
fumigated, and reported the same to
the health officer. Three cases of
truancy were reported, and one little
boy hope to put in the kindergarten
grade on Monday morning.
"Four of the tubercular patients
visited, for the safety of their friends
and the community, should be placed
in a sanatorium at once, but owing to
the crowded condition at Wales, and
the already long waiting list | find it
impossible so to do. This shows the
urgent need of your county sanatori-
um. | am told that at the present
time there are at least 33 authentic
cases of tuberculosis in Manitowoc and
l3 persons suspected. There are pro-
badly several more cases that have not
been discovered.
"a total of at least fifty cases, SO
cases of infection in city the size of
Manitowoc leaves no room for hesita-
tion in formulating measures for COM
batting the disease.
individual care of separate cases of
tuberculosis while essential is not
sufficient. To fight the disease sue
cessfully requires the combined efforts
of the community, requires that pre-
ventive measures be aimed at the root
of the trouble-and this brings me to
your housing conditions. | have
greatly admired your spacious lawns
and comfortable looking homes as |
have walked along your streets. But,
alas, often the rear | find horrible and
wish you could have been with me
when | was investigating some of
these so-called homes. 1t almost seems
a mockery to apply the name home to
them. There are great many old
frame houses barely able to stand and
absolutely unfit for habitation, some
are badly infected, others merely un-
sanitary. In some | find many layers
OF paper on the walls, plaster crumb-
ling and falling, showing laths; floor
warped and uneven, from the frost and
dampness, musty odor
"Walls wet at times, some of these
places are positively dangerous, they
are fire traps and should be condemned,
vacated and burned From an econom-
ic standpoint, it would be cheaper for
the city to do this than to care for
those who become infected and devitals
lied by living in such squalid surround
ings. The toilet rooms in both depots
need thorough cleaning the wall
should be painted some light color and
a dsinfectant used daily.
Respectfully submitted,
"CLARA b. HARPER"

OUR NEW GONERNOR.-By virtue of
the death Of Gov. Harvey Oh Saturday,
the powers and duties of the office of
governor of the state devolves by the
constitution upon Hon. Edward Solo
mon, the Lieut., Governor, for the
residue of the term, or, until Decem-
Der 81, 1868.
Governor Solomon formerly resided
in Manitowoc and has many personal
friends here. He is a brother of Col
Fred Solomon of the 9th regiment, and
a relative of Messrs. Chas. Keuhn,

Fred Rudolph. He is Democrat in
politics.

In addition there is one contest in
each of the following: drawing, mu-
sic, reading, seed peas, sugar beets,
bread making, geography.
The grain-growing contests attract
the greatest interest. Last year there
were such contests in forty-four coun-
ties and the county fair associations
paid out about twelve thousand dollars
in premiums to the winners. The in
terest IN the contests and their value
was greatly increased by the offer of
paying as premium all expenses of
attendance at weeks school of grain
growing conducted by the State Agri-
cultural College at Madison. Fifty-one
boys last year received this valuable
training in addition to that which
came to them in the winning of pre-
miums.
These contests, taken as whole,
enlist the active interest of thousands
of children in things which cannot fail
to deeply influence them for good, and
they help relieve school attendance of
the tedium and drudgery which too
often characterizes it to the lasting
detriment of the rising generation.

EDUCATIONAL.
(BY G. w. MEISNEST.)
COUNTY EDUCATIONAL CON-
TESTS NUMEROUS IN WIS
CONSIN.

Reports received by the State De-
partment of Education from forty
nine county superintendents indicate
that county educational contests in
the state are this year to be more nu-
merous and varied than ever before.
The counties reporting have organized
a total of l20 contests, as follows:
