DIDN'T KNOW BIRDS
WERE LOADED.

G. A. Banmbach of Milwaukee diGn t
study the game laws carefully or else
he took chance on not meeting
with game warden, when he got off
train last Friday with brace of
prairie hens in a bundle of ducks. If
he knew the law he didn't know the
warden There was no chance of get
ting by John Egan. John spotted his
man before he got outside the station
and explained to him the enormity OF
the crime of having prairie chickens in
his possession. The hunter paid S2S. 43
in municipa court, doing it with very
poor grace, and the warden auctioned
of the two coniiscated birds for GO
cents. The Herald city reporter claim
ed to have played some important part
in the seuthing but the News jealously
refused to admit that the rival paper
was entitled to any credit for this i'm
portant capture.

FREE METER SITUATION

Two years ago the state Railroad
Commission ordered this city to buy,
or pay rent for, all meters then in use
and 10 furnish free all new meters. On
arehearing of the matter the order
was modified So that the city has the
option of buying or paying rent for all
meters, new or old. On the rehear-
ing the city was also ordered to furn-
ish service pipes TO both sides OF any
street at the same cost regardless of
the distance to the main. The utilit-
les committee of the council has been
wrestling with these two propositions
since July first. Upon the city's
request Mr.. Miller, commission
engineer, met with the committee
Tuesday evening and gave them in
structions as to the manner of apprais-
ing, the proper method of depreciation
and furnished depreciation curxe charts
and told how to ascertain the age. He
also explained the methods employed
elsewhere of making uniform
charge for service pipes even where,
rs here, the matter is primarily one
between the property owner and u
plumbing contractor. The advice was
valuable and will conduce to a speedy
settlement OF vexing problems. 1t is
expected that these two matters will
soon be settled satisfactorily to the
city and to consumers.

MC'MURROW TO STAND TRIAL.

The preliminary examination in the
Maribel shooting case was held last
Friday. Murty Driscoll who claims
that three of McMurrows bullets hit

counts. After a dispute the defendant
McMurrow left and soon returned and

deer opens Nov. II and closes Nov. 80
Deer or part of deer may be ship.
ped or transported from Nov. ~ to

Der, in counties where deer are alow-
ed to be killed. The possession OF a dog

be found because there is no coupon or
name or address on the carcass. Never
forget to take receipt from the ex-
press company, from the receiving
agent for your deer.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Hands off the public schools They

For what is highest in this land;
And they must stand, as they have

The nations undivided good,
To Jew and Gentle, rich and poor,
They are the ever open door
To that condition which must be,
II we expect safe guaranty
To freedom and those rights OF man
Which place this nation in the van
OF progress and maintain it there.
Their lamps of knowledge, shining
fair
In town and country, everywhere,
Dlspe the darkness, and their light
Burns for the everlasting right
The right that no sect dares dispute,
Nor any doctrine substitute
Some theologic sham TO take
The place OF what is Gods own make.
In thronging cities, quiet towns,
BY wooded les and meady downs
The schoolhouse stands on sacred sod,
The shrine and symbol of God
Whose truths, 'unchanging and divine,
In unity forever shine.
And there the children: OF all lands
And varying faiths, join brother hands
In that one faith, the creed of creeos--.
Mans betterment in all his needs.

WILD Deer IN COUNTY.

There is no open season for deer in
Manitowoc or Calumet counties. There
is no place where wild deer could subs.
ist except in the large swamp on the
county line. 1t was thought for many
years that they had all been extermin-
ated but of late years there have been
rumors Of deer being IN the swamp,
Chased by dogs wild deer ran among
the cattle in the barn yard OF Charles
Schneider in the town OF Eaton near
the swamp las. week. Mr.. Schneider
captured the animal and asked the
game department for permission to
keep 1t.

ITEMS FROM The PILOT FILES.
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

THE RESULT IN THIS COUNTY.-We
have not words to express the exuber-
ance of our feelings over the glorious
result achieved by our democracy on
Tuesday. Four years ago Lincoln car
ried the county by 80 majority, and
this year Little Mac" sweeps it over
1000 on the home vote.
Judge Reed, in all his speeches and
private conversations, uttered no word
against the personal chaiecter of his
opponent or any candidate on the coun-
ty ticket, but treated them all as the
representatives of their party princi-
pies and policies, which he justly and
severely condemned; his course was
highly honorable and gentlemanly, as
was that of all the candidates on the
democratic ticket.
This example is worthy OF imitation,
and we hope the republicans in future
may profit by it.
SENAToR.-The immaculate Oscar
Koch, who has hell Office for the past
fur years, and gro wn fat and insolent
on treasury pap and popular favor, and
spent 81, 900 and bet Oh his own cleo
tion, and who was to carry his own
town by 200 majority, is very badly
beaten by Judge Reed, 'the rebel sym
pathizer," and run behind his ticket in
his own town where he considered him
self invulnerable, over fifty votes.
A GOOD DAYS WoRK.-T Demo
Gratis of Liberty performed good days
work, they having brought the Repub-
lican majority of sixty last year down

1t is often regarded as evidence of un-
usual independence and intelligence in
an Irishman when he can be shown to
be member Of the republican party,
and occasionally republican VIII be
found who will go SO far as to consider
even the Irish American unusually pro-
gressive if he joins the ranks of that
party. This is pure unadulterated
know nothingism. No nationality
should be regarded as the peculiar in
heritance or possession of any party
and no party should SO cater to the pre-
judices of any race as to cause it to
yield the right of intelligent choice.
Yet that the majority Of Irishmen has
belonged to one party or to another is
as severe a criticism on the tactics OF
that party as it is to the lack of intell-
igent choice in the people who have
thus become considered solid" Both
the old parties have oftener tried to
win the Irishman's vote by appealing
to his hatred of England than they
have endeavored to firmly ground him
In the fundamental principles of the
parties themselves. AT the close OF
the civil war democrats and republi-
cans were alike hostile to England and
the Irishman was the first to be in
formed OF this, During the last pre-
sdential campaign lreland's wrongs
and Americas interests were discussed
together, and it was the republican
party Alone that thought to profit hy
the prejudces that could be aroused.
