CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

The council met in regular session
Monday evening. All members were
| present.
A resolution, to authorize the city to
pay the costs of the Rahr injunction
suit over the misuse of the city sinking
fund was carried. The costs were
awarded last May against the city and
II individual city officers as defendants.
There vas some talk as tc The
propriety and legality of one defend
ant paying the entire $4,000 but the
vote was unanimous.
A resolution to authorize the print
ing and negotiation of the electric
light bonds when the valuation shall
have been filed was adopted.
A resolution to advertise for new
bids for motor fire apparatus or speci-
fications to be furnished by Chief Kratz,
carried with tho usual division on this
question, 8 to 5. The noes were ka-
pitt, Schroeder, .Lippert, Smugler and
Scherer.
The petition of Mrs, Budnik asking
permission to withdraw her complaint
| against saloon keeper Dempske was
denied, Smugler alone voting for it..
A hearing of the complaint was set for
November 25th. The mayor said "We
ought to stop people filing sworn com
| plants and then seeking to pull out
after using US to scare someone"
The committee on sanitation report
ed on Walter Bahr's complaint against
| the noisy tent roller rink that the
"business was discontinued"
Plumb, impelled evidently ly some
newspaper criticism, explained why
the poor cost SO much this year. He
said 20 percent of the poor are on the
hospital list requiring medical atten-
ton and operations. He said the com
mittee worked very hard to keep the
amount down but had been exception
ally unfortunate.
The Board of Public Works reported
on sums due contractors for sidewalks
laid by order of the city as follows:
Luecke, S203,S0; Tomcheck, Sl2760
aud to Schlaeter, $333.l7. These were
ordered paid and will be put in the tax
roll against the premises chargeahle.
The engineer reported in detail on
the sewers put in the past season.
The Judiciary committee reported on
the proposed curfew law that they
| were opposed to it in its present form,
taking particular objection 10 the fine
or Jail penalties for children. They
thought the state Juvenile laws would
care for incorrigibles. The report was
adopted. No amendments were offer
ed, so the movement is pparantly
dead for the present. Kapitz, the faith
er OF the curfew, didn't seem to care.

OF the soil and the valuable products of

EDUCATIONAL.
(BY G. W. MEIsNEsT.)
GRADED SCHOOLS.

A few weeks ago the state graded
school inpector and the superintendent
visited the graded schools of the coun-
ty. All were visited except one which
will be visited later. We have this
year got eleven such schools. 1t was
certainly pleasing to find almost all of
these schools doing good work. Many
things that were done by the teachers
will be used as examples of good work,
when the inpector visits other schools
in the state. Good teaching and con-
sistent work by a teacher is not only
good for the teacher but good adver-
tisement for the county as well.
1t was interesting to note that all OF
the graded schools had intended TO
comply with the requirements entit-
ling them to special aid of 800 per
year. A set of tools and other necess-
airy equipment was purchased either at
the time of the inspection or has been
purchased since. The amou 1T expend-
cd for tools was about $40. In all an
expenditure of about S45 will be nee
essary this year in order to secure this
aid. Next year there will be but little
expense in order to secure the special
aid of 800.
The purpose of the law is to enable
the schools to do better work in agri-
culture, and domestic science. The
work will also add interest to the reg
ular school work. The first line of
work to be done is to make screens,
individual cup cases for the schools and
do other general repair about the
building.
A number of one department schools
have undertaken this line of work on
a smaller scale. They think what is
good for the graded schools is also good
for them.

ABOLITION FALSEHOODS CONCERN
ING DEMOCRATES. The abolition Jour
nails forgot their consistency and their
logic. A little while ago they de-
nounced with unmeasured frenzy, the
Democratic leaders and masses. All
were 'sympathizers with treason"
"Copperheads," "peacemen, 'oppos-
ed to war;" sin league with JasRDav-
is. "" But now these same prints want
a cessation OF party conflicts, and in
vite all hands TO 60 to work to recruit
our armies. If they told the truth be-
fore election, not Democrat is fit to
be intrusted with musket. We want
only honest, patriotic, true Union men
in our armies. But the A ABOLITION Jour

Tossing their lies after election, and
one half the people of this state follow

Every country community and village

should send To the Wisconsin Library
commission at Madison, and request
that one OF the free travelling libraries
be sent to them. These libraries con-
sist of about forty volumes of fiction,
history, travel, etc.. neatly packed in
box, and will be sent to any commun-
ity that will piy the freight charges
both ways. The books are all good
books. Miss Lutte Stearns of the lib
rary commission has them under her
charge, and she says she never puts q
book into one of these Libraries until
she has asked herself three questions
about it: VIII it inform somebody? will
it inspire somebody? Will it refresh
somebody? If she cannot answer yes
to one of the questions, she does not
put it into the library. The box of
books may be kept six months, return
ed to the commission and new box

forth the names of nearly four hundred
of living and dead citizens OF Manito-

The county board of supervisors
consisting of Messrs. Hickok, Pellet
and Carey, accompanied by Judge Pier
pont and sheriff Smith-wth com
mendable zeal for the interest of our
county, attended the drawing at Green
Bay to see that justice and impartiality
should prevail.-Considering the hor-
rble state of the road between here
and that city, and the inclement wealth
er which prevailed at the time, the sac
rifice made by these two gentlemen in
the behalf of the people, entities them
to the warm thanks of all. They we're
kindly received and we'll treated by the
drafting board, and report that the
drawing was conducted fairly-no i'm

practiced.
