HEALTH OFFICER MIDDLE.

The arguments in the Health Officer
matter were made before Judge Kir'
wan last Monday. DR., Staehle and DR.
Meany each claims he is the legal, act
ting health officer, Staehle as hold
over because of failure to elect and
Meany by reason of an alleged legal
election. DR.. Meany lays great stress
upon the fact that the board OF health
called him before them and told him he
was elected and that Staehle abandon
ed the Office and turned over the rec
ords. If Staehle is in office, as he
claims, the proper remedy would be a
writ of quo warranto TO oust him. DR..
Meany however says he is in office and
seeks to enjoin DR.. Staehle from pre-
tending to act as health officer. Staeh-
le claims that he is in possession of the
Office and that quo warranto was the
proper remedy and that the present
proceeding should therefore fail. DR..
Meany is represented by E. l.. Kelley
and DR.. Staehle by A. L. Nash.

THE FOURTH.

An independence Day celebration il-
itated by the Marine Band was a great
success on the fourth. The weather
could not have been better.
The day began with a salute at : A..
M. During the morning the band play
Ell national airs on the street corners
and the Eagles drill team exhibited
their intricate evolutions, performing
in fine style. The big parade went
through the city in the afternoon. 1t
consisted among other things of num-
erous floats prepared by merchants and
manufacturers, the band, and Company
II. The down town streets were lined
with spectators. 1t wound up at the
court house shortly after , o'clock.
There Edward Thorison, president Of
the city council and acting mayor in
the absence of the mayor from the ci-
ty, presided. In introducing Judge Al
bert Schmidt he made a short address,
dwelling upon the example our nation
has set TO all peoples who aspire to
free institutions and he presided with
dignity and grace. Judge Schmidt de-
livered half-hour speech. He was
in his best form which is to say that
his effort would be hard to beat. From
prize winning University orator of
nearly 20 years ago Judge Schmidt has
matured into really premier, serious
public spAaker. The crowd filled the
east court yard and frequently applaud
ed the faultless delivery of nicely phras-
ed patriotic sentiments. The band
continued their rendering of stirring
music In the evening large crowds
gathered at the lake front at CONNER
cial street where band concert was
given. Following this until nearly 10
o'clock there was an unusually fine ex-
hibition of fire works from a scow in
side the breakwaters. The country
club on the north shore We'd with the
city celebration in rocket shooting.
Dances at both opera houses wound up
the day. The band deserves credit for
planning and carrying through fine
celebration.

PLATE GLASS WORKER ESCAPES.

Tuesday morning about O'Clock a
man operating alone broke in one of
the plate glass windows of the Fehr's
iewelry store and made grab at a
tray of watches. Fred Gerpheide who
resides across the street, arose at the
crash of glass and ran out. The News

heard it also and saw man dashing
down Franklin street toward the po-
lice station. He telephoned the police
but got them too late. The culprit
had only time to get four watches two
of which he dropped before getting to
the corner. The Police combed out
the hobo hang-outs but have not land

CHIEF GROffMAN INDICATED

Last week Fred Vogelsang filed with
the city fire and police commission
written charges against chief of police
George Grotfman. The complaint was
ia substance that the chief four years
ago threatened to get even with Mr..
Vogelsang following dispute between
them over the departments method of
apprehendin couple of crooks who
had robbed Mr.. Vogelsang's sister;
that in pursuance of this threat the
chief a few weeks ago caused the ar
rest of Vogelsang and Murphys deliv-
cry boy for turning a corner short and
had him fined Sl.00 and costs, without
giving the boy warning as, 1t was al
legged, was being done in other cases.
a hearing was had upon the charges
last Tuesday evening. The whole
commission, Charles Gruhle, Philip
Pitz, August Kaems, and Grover Mey-
er were present. Testimony was Civ
en- by Mr.. Vogelsang, John Murphy,
Seargent Trochlell, and Chief Croft
man. 1t seems that the seargent made
the arrest of his own volition. Mr..
Vogelsang was given free rein to air
his grievance and did expatiate. Chief
Groffman Indignantly denied having
ever made threat to get even with
any one or of harboring any spite.
Commissioner Kaems said that the
commission should not be sitting on
such trivial charges. Chairman Gruhle
ordered them into executive session
from which, after quarter hour, they
emerged with the statement that the
chief had been completely indicated.
The only attorney appearing was dis
trict attorney Healy for the chief.
The Daily News has engaged in a per-
sistent campaign Of criticism against
the chief for years in an effort to "get
his goat" and gave this trial" its
support. The continuous snake-like
nagging and puerile pickering OF the
News wouldn't injure Chief Groffman
or anybody else, but it la nauseating
and should be stopped.

LEARNING TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

Hardly a day has passed the past two
weeks without arrests for violations of
city traffic regulations. Monday there
were five arrests. The charge is eth
er speeding over fifteen miles an hour
or turning corner wrong. The speed
ing lately has nearly all been done by
young men on motorcycles. The min.
imum fine for this is ten dollars. The
turning includes teams. In one day a
junk collector and tea and coffee ped
dler each paid fine and costs for turn
ing corner short to the left. Tuesday
a rural mail carrier who had speeded
up his motorcycle claimed exemption
because of government business but he
was assessed the usual total of S.4.0l, /,

BASE BALL

Saturday Manitowoc dropped game

Port Washington was beating Sheboy-

put it over the slipping chairmakers

both games for Manitowoc and de-
served to win both. Saturday he was
given wretched support aud lost to 3.
At Sheboygan next day the iron man
was touched for four swats in the first
frame, one of them four base clout

teeth and settled down to air tight

EDUCATIONAL.
by G. w. Meisnest. J

According to reports 10y the state
superintendent, twenty-one county
superintendents in Wisconsin make
use of automobiles in visiting schools
and several Others are planning to do
so in the near future.
The principal advantages claimed for
the automobile by the superintendents
using them are; Less time is spent on
the road and more time in the actual
work of visitation and inspections; a
larger number Of schools can be visited
in given time, and hence those scho-
OILS requiring special attention can be
visited sufficient number of times
during the school year: the office work
can be better attended to, for the reas-
on that the superintendent can be at
home practically every night and bef-
ore starting on his trip the next day can
do considerable Office work: the super
iotendent can more often be present at
social center gatherings and other
meetings in the schoolhouses of the
county; publications pt various kinds,
seed for agricultural contests, and
other things can be more easily and
eNpedttiously, and with less expense,
distributed to the schools. In these
and other ways the automobile increas-
es the efficiency and the prestige of the
county superintendent and his work.
As to the expense, some of the coun-
ty superintIntendents report thai it is
less than In trveing by team. From
experience with the use Of automobiles
by county uperindentendents thus far
would seem desirable for the good of
rural school education that practically
every county uperintandent in tn
state should be enabled to use the au-
tOmoble in his work
The counties in which automobiles
are being used by the county super
intendent are: Buffalo, Burnett,
Clark, Dodge, Florence, GreenLake, i,
jefferson, kenosha, Marinette, Marc
uette. Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Out
agamie, Polk, Price, Rock, St. Crolx

THE VERY LATEST NEWS-At lat
est advices from Grants army, artillery
was being placed for the purpose of
bonn harding Petersburg. There were
indications of speedily approaching
conflict at Fosters position, north Of
James River. Wilson's cavalry had
done great damage to the Dauvilie and
Richmond and the Petersburg and
Lynchburg Railroads, burning the
bridges and destroying the track for
many miles. On attempting to reion

1t appears that, on the morning of that
day, an assault was made upon the reb-
ell works along the whole line, with
the object of driving Jghnston from his
position at Kenesaw Mountain. The
Federals charged ga llantly, but could
not Withstand the terrible fire poured in
upon them, and were finally compelled
to retreat, having suffered a loss of
some 5000 men. One account states
that Gen. Hooker was dangerously
wounded, while others make no men,

the killing of Gen. Hooker The Nash
Vile Union of the 3Oth ult, however,
announced that General Joseph Hook

On the 3rd inst, Gen. Grant demand
