A month ago Judge Cratic introduc-
ed In the city school board a resolution
intended to discourage student social
affairs, and to encourage less athletics,
class pins, expensive graduating

the old fashioned "three rs" Super
lntendent Zimmers reported in writing
to the board denying the existence Of
the evils complained of and quietly re-
ouking the newspaper publication of
the Judges resolution before action by
the board. The board thereupon tabled
Crates resolution and the Judge came
back last week with long article ac-
companying his resignation. 1t con-
tains much typical Cratic philosophy
1t was published in the daily papers
and was given considerable attention.
In it he says: "When a member has no
more privilege of being allowed, under
well defined parliamentary rules to
make offerings pertaining to our duties
by initiating at least the topic for dis
cussion by seconding the same, the
oligarchy form of government then
makes its appearance and | cease to be
a member of it," He also says: 81

PERRY VICTORY PROGRAM.

A Perry centennial program was
held at the boys club auditorium last
Friday evening.
The Perry Commission, made up of
commissions appointed by the govern
ors OF each of the states bordering
the great lakes, is making great plans
for the celebration this year of the
centennial of the battle Of Lake Erie.
"A floating pageant representing life
and conditions in 1913, as we'll as
Perry's battle fleet, will move from
city to city about the great lakes dur
ing the summer OF 1913
If it can be shown that the wreck Of
the schooner Culver on Two Rivers
point is the remains of one OF Perry's
feet, as claimed, the pageant may
leave it's course to visit this locality to
salute the wreck.
Senator Randolph, member of the
Wisconsin Perry Commission presided
Judge Baensch spoke for Manitowoc
Rear Admiral Symonds, U. s. NJ, re-
lated the story OF Perry's victory from
the view point of a trained sea fighter.
1t was an intensely interesting narra-
tive.
Ex-senator John M. Whitehead of
Janesville, member of both the Wis
consin and the interstate Perry com
missions, stated the purposes of the
Perry celebration Besides the hstor-
ical pageant Il great memorial to cost
SoO0, 900, will be erected at Putin Bay.
A marble shaft 335 feet high will be
erected. He furnished wealth of in
formation, couched so nicely and de-
livered so impressively that absorbing
it was a pleasure.
A musical program by Mrs. A. Rank,
Miss Eugene Chloupek and Miss Kath-
ryn Barzynska elected encores.
The program was designed to awak-
en- local interest in the Perry ceIebra-
tion. The attendance was disappoint-
ing but a germ of enthusiasm for the
great patriotic movement was created
that will doubtless spread rapidly.

CIRCUIT COURT.

Judge Byron Park presided in circuit
court only week, finishing up Satur-
day morning. He and Judge Lueck
each presided one week and Judge
Wickham two weeks, finishing the
business of the term in four weeks.
The Shaw divorce occupied a day in
trial. Each party has married twice.
The defendant husband defended the
divorce action on the theory that his
marriage to the plaintiff was void be-
cause, New York state, where the
ceremony was performed, does not, he
says, recognize the wife's divorce from
her former husband, pne Olson, secured
in California, on a service by publica-
tion and mailing, Ihe marriage was
considered valid enough in Chicago to
convict the doctor of bigamy for marry
ing again, but the law points there in
volved are open in q motion for new
trial in the higamy case.
The case of Rahr VS.. city officials re-
garding an alleged misuse of q city
special fund occupied only part of Fri
day. The only witnesses were the
mayor, clerk, treasurer and G. Frazier
chairman of the finance committee.
The case seemed to narrow down to
the question of whether there was
$4,000 in the general fund on Nov. l9,
1912, when the council ordered $4,000
put back from that fund into the sink
ing fund. The point goes to whether
there was ground for the suit when it
was started on November 26, 1912, the
costs perhaps depending on the answer
to this question. The court asked for
briefs instead Of oral arguments and
has the matter under advisement.
Several divorce actions were heard
and DEGREES granted. A divorce was
granted to Ida Weaver against Melvin
Weaver.
Henry Gerke, whose conviction of
arson was recently set aside by the
supreme C, was brought into court.
10 avoid four or five months in Jail
awaiting trial, Dist. Atty. Healy joined
in q request that Gerke be released on
his "own recognizance" OF $1,000, that
is, without sureties, and this was
granted and Gerse is at liberty.

A LETTER FROM TIE FAR EAST.

The following is letter received by

Allahabad, India, Jan. II, 1913.
Messrs Smalley Mfg. Co.,
Manitowoc, Wis, U. S A.
Gentlemen:
| regret exceedingly the long delay
in writing you concerning the Silage
Cutter. Your machine has enabled US
to feed onr hundred head of cattle more
cheaply and better than any of our
neighbors who use only dry stover. l
enclose few photos of the machine in
action. 1t is source Of great wonder
and admiration to the natives. OF
course they all prophesied that what
came out would be only manure and
that the cattle would not eat it. Their
surprise is great when they see my OK
en- doing more work and looking in
much better condition than theirs.
The silage is good Professor Vivian
OF Ohio State and Wisconsin gradu-
ate, who is my guest at this time, de-
clares it TO be excellent in every way.
People are now inquiripg about the
cutter and unfortunately | have no IL
terature about it and can not give cost
etc. So would you please supply me
With some and all the facts. | want to
act as your agent until some CONNER
cial firm takes it up, for the present
however the college is in the best DO
sition to get it before the people most
likely to buy.
The machine you sent us has done
excellent work and that in spite of the
fact that we have not been able to test
it thoroughly for the only power avail
able this year has been six horse
power oil engine.
Two men stand at the box and feed,
and ten women lift the stuff up to the
table. The men get seven cents day
and women Ave. 1t costs me for labor,
fuel, ETC., less than two cents hundred
to cut and put away.
Our silos this year are holes in the
ground 10 TT. in diameter and l6 fl.
deep, just dug and not lined with any
thing. | left circular path eighteen
inches wide for the coolies t, carry the
stuff out so we have had no trouble get
ting it out
Sincerely,
Sam Higginbottom.

DEATH OF A PRIEST Rev. Johr
Stucky, Catholic pastor of Centerville
died in that village on the 4th inst
He was native OF Switzerland, and
aged about 81 His funeral took place
on Friday and was largely attended by
members Of his Congregation and

by Reverends Oswald, Haider, Maley,
Sebastian and Peiffer.
His place has been filed by Rev.
John Welter.
THE DRAFTED MEN.-Of the 400
drafted men in this county, about one
hundred and twenty reported here, and
were taken to Madison on Saturday.
The release of several of these had
been procured at Madison by VIM. M.
Nicholas, Esq, who returned home on
the evening of that day-too late to find
them here. Measures have been taken
to release them at once.
The legality of the draft in this
county will, we understand be brought
before the supreme court Immediately
SUPERVISION OF THE HERALD.-The
last Herald announces its suspension
for several weeks. The common i'm
preston is that it Sleeps the sleep
that knows no waking" and joining in
that belief we forbear answering its
last kick at the editor of the PILOT,
and its malignant assault upon the
character of Mr.. Wittmann. 1t is an
old proverb that the dead shoull not
be lily spoken of, and we will practice
it by saying "Reqsiescat in pace"
THE WESTERN STAGE LINE.--We
are gratited to learn that the stage
line between here and Menasha is
doing "a land office business In COM
pany with Messrs. Villas, Rand and
Shanahan, members of the legislature,
and Messrs. Kahler and others, we took
a ride over the route last wees, and
the unanimous opinion of all was that
Windiate's stage line was the most
pleasant, direct and shortest route to
the railroads, and by far the cheapest.
1t passes the villages of Branch, Pa
quette, Reedsville, Spring Creek and
Sherwood, and connects at Menasha
with cars for Milwaukee, Chicago and
Madison. Those who wish to visit
those places should call at the National
Hotel for passage. Time and money
are both saved by taking the Western
line.
