PERRY CELEBRATION AND
HOME COMING AT BAY.

Green Bay, Wis, July lit has
been positively determined that the
Niagara, Commodore Perry's famous
old battleship, which was raised from
the bed of Lake Erie short time ago,
will be in Green Bay from Aug. 10 to
Aug. l3, and the committees of the
Green Bay Commercial Club have TAX
en- renewed interst in the Perry
Victory Centennial celebration to be
held here then and they are more con-
fident than ever that the celebration
will eclipse anything ever attempted
in the northern part of Wisconsin.
In connection with the historic and
patriotic celebration Green Bay will
hold "Home Coming" celebration and
welcome home its former residents,
numbering many thousand. Green
Bay is the Oldest city in the state and
the sentiment prevails in the surround
ing country that the city is in position
to offer more attractive, interesting
things to her sons and daughters Of years
gene by than any city 10 the state.
The city has been adding to her out
ward beauty in the last several years
by the construction of several public
buildings, .the finest court house in this
eoction. ss.aa y. fede-t.l building, many
handsome Office structures, and mile
after mile Of asphalt pavement. To
augmant the natural beauty and beau
ty of buildings aud streets, the citizens
will dress-up homes and public pro-
perty as never before. Evidences of
activity in this connection have been
noticed for several weeks.
While the Perry water and street
pageantry will be the main features of
"Home Coming, week in Green Bay,
the program committee of the celebra-
has arranged to have numerous special
features that will amuse and entertain
the thousands that are expected to
come here. Jimmy Ward, the noted
aviator will fly in his aeroplane twice
every day dnring "Home Coming,
week. Competitive band playing will
be on the program, there will be
water carnival, in which yachts from
many ports on the great lakes, will
participate, floral automobile parade,
an industrial exhibit of things made
in Green Bay" displays of rare histor
ical articles, grand pyrotechnical dis
plays each night and out of door enter,
tainment of every description.
The patriotism of the present gen.
Grafton will be aroused more over the
Perry Centennial celebration than
over any patriotic event that has taken
place in the country's history. This
celebration will be a new departure in
American patriotic celebrations. 1t
will be an educational conmemoration
instead of an educational exposition.
patriotism rather than CONNIE ccialism
will be the controlling factor.

Many other classes are made upon
which prizes are given. The best
collections of weeds, weed seeds, in
sects and the work of insect and fungus
diseases, secure prizes. These must
all be named correctly by their com
mon English names. 1t is expected
only to have the children become fam
liar with them in the first year. Prizes
are awarded upon the best collections
Of our finest varieties of apples. A
large number of apples and weeds are
also taken to the fair and ,hose giving
correct names TO the largest number
receive prizes. They are encouraged
to find out all they can about each one,
and prizes are given for the best COM
positions written about the work.
These are divided into two classes, one
for the Senior and one for the Junior
pupils.
The girls compete in baking and sew
ing classes and the boys in the con-
struction Of model poultry houses. We
find that these are very popular anu
the little girl who can bake the finest
cake or loaf of bread is as proud of her
ability as is any young lady who takes
a scholarship In ladies' college.
TO make the sense Of competition
more keen, prize Is given the school

the individual exhibits OF the pupils,
In our particular case silver medal is
given the pupil making the most salts

ALUMINIUM FOUNDRY TO REOPEN.

Last summer at the time of the
strike of the moulders the Aluminium
Castings Company employing hundred
and fifty men partially dismantled its
plant aud ceased manufacturing at the
local plant. This caused surprise be-
cause the foundry was a new building
equipped with all modern appliances.
The abandonment was serious blow
to the city. Now comes the news that
the company is soon TO resume work at
the local plant with full complement
of employees. Since the abandonment
last summer another large Aluminium
foundry has been built across the
street at Franklin and Fifteenth streets.
The city seems in fsir way to main

K. OF c. PICNIC

The annual picnic of the Knights of
Columbus took place last Sunday at
Klingholz's grove west of the city.
1t began at 10 o'clock and lasted until 6.
/ A half dozen busses conveyed the
crowds to and from the grounds. The
fternoon was spent in playing games,
the big event of which was the ball
game between the married men, cap
aimed by Aubrey Egan, and the bach
lors, led by John Carey. The feature
of the game was the pitching of Ed
Watt for the kids. He struck out II
of Is consecutive batters and was mer-
cifully pulled off the mound to give the
old boys show. John Healy, once a
good pitcher held the kids safe for a
few innings but had to retire. Spectac-
ul"c attempts by Frank Houghton to
catch the ball in the center field elicit
ed admiration. Micheal Kellner, a
benedict of few weeks and NJ. j.
O'Donnell, one of nearly twenty years
standing, performed valarous feats, but
all in vain. The married men went
down TO defeat, s tod, despite the UNI
piring of DR.. Meany. Daniel Lorrigan
caught for the Carey bunch and Paul
Gosz for the married men. John Carey
made run every time he came to bat
while Ed Kelly, ademon batter Is years
ago, whitfield every time up.
Besides the ball game "three-legged
races" girls races, married mems 100
yard dash and all the customary freak
events. Tom Meany is credited with
winning the 'Schmeer' championship
over such sharks as Puch Egan and
Mike Connolly. The general opinion
was that the affair was the best X. G.
picnic ever held.

TAX ASSESSMENTS EQUALIzED.

The city board Of Equalization has
been in session the past ten.days, ending
its labors today. The assessment of the
city is over S2,000,OO0 more than last
year and the raises have caused some
objections, although not more than in
previous years. William Rahr, Sr.,
appeared and asked to be sworn to the
fact that his real Estate in the city is
not worth more than Is per cent of the
assessed valuation. He stated that it
was his opinion that the high assess
ment is to permit the purchase OF "the
old Electric light plant He also de-
manded that the waterworks plant be
assessed at S265,000 aud be apportioned
among the wards.
Judge Cratic appeared and demanded
that the waterworks be striken from
the rolls.
Fred Schuette appeared for Schuette
Bros. Co. and testified that the assess
ment On their merchandise stock is
hlRHcI Itidu JuC aCbu"i 'a'uo'
l.. j. Nash and Archie Nash each
testified that the assessments on
their homes are too high.
Thos. Torrison appeared for the O..
Torrison Co. and objected to the assess
ment of their merchandise stock.
The Reiss Coal company objects to
their unloading Equipment at the up
per dock being assessed as improve
ment to real estate. They want it
assessed as personally, presumably so
to offset their income tax at atSheboygan.
The boards refusal to change it to
personally may cause case in court.
M. H. Murphy appeared on behalf of
the American Seating company and
made protest against the amount OF
the assessment of the company's factory
buildings. Assessor Senglaub correct
ed the Gas conpany's assessment
changing it from $220,0O0 to SlSO,0OO,
latter figure approximates the value
fixed blythe Railroad commission.
There is a rumor of an attempt to tax
the Fair Grounds which will probably
come to nothing.

4 HORRIBLE: ACCIDENT

Monday morning while at work max
ing repairs to telephone cable, Ferd-
inand Witt, aged % lost his life. Not
realizing danger he grasped an electric
light wire and was electrocuted when
the full current of 1900 volts passed
through his body. Witt was sitting on
the platform of cable trolley when
the accident happened. His hands
were badly burned and the end OF his
fingers was completely burned Off.
Persons who we're nearby heard him
scream and saw him fall from the
platform to the cement walk below.
The platform was about twenty feet
from the ground. Witt was unconscious
when picked up. His face was so badly
smashed when he struck the cement
walk, that his features were not recog-
nizable. One of his legs and several
bones were broken.
Witt was member of crew employ
ed by the Two Rivers Telephone Com
pany in stringing new wires about the
city and making repairs to the line.
When the accident happened he was
engaged in placing new fastenings, or
hooks on the cable at the north end of
Washington street.
The remains were taken to Grace
Congregational church. Coroner Fal-
ge and District Attorney Healy were
notified and came here to investigate
but decided that no inquest was neces-
sary.
He is survived by three brothers,
BENJAMIN, Edwin and Ruben and two
sisters Esther and Madeline.-Two Riv-
ers Chronicle.

VIII Rahr has practically withdrawn
from politics, but when he gets stirred
up some of the old fire and energy
burst forth and he usually gets the
best of an opponent. 70 his splendid
executive ability is largely due the
heavy majority which this county roll
ed up two years ago. A little incident
which occurred lately shows how Will
is valued politically. BY marriage he
has number of Scandinavian rela-
tions. An intelligent republican OF
Norwegian nationality lately met Rahr
and politics came up as a subject OF
discussion. "Why," said the man,
since you became Norwegian and a
democrat all the Norwegians are be-
coming democrats"
