WATER QUESTION SETTLED.

Yesterday the decision of the state
railroad commission in the long pend
ing water meter and service pipe mat
ter was filed here.
Two years agosome citizens petition
ed the railroad commission to compel
the city To furnish meters and service
The city rested and the commission
gave each a half loaf. They required
the city TO furnish meters and the con-
sumer TO furnish the service pipes.
1t appears that the city did not correct

city did not obey it and were remind.
ed of it by the commission On petit
tion of the city the commission then
suspended the operation of the order
to hear future testimony. This was
heard year ago and now the new or
der reatfirms the former one which
suspended. The city must charge for
service pipes the same amount for
both sides of street regardless OF
where the main is laid and may pay
rent for present privately owned me-
ters instead of being required to buy
them.
At the same time there was filed an
order granting the four following re-
quests pettioned for by the city.

3. A minimum rate of % cents per

ANOTHER TRAGIC DEATH.

Another woman, Mrs. Henriet a
Fricke of this city, was drowned in a
cistern last Friday, at her home on
Cleveland avenue. Her body was
found in the cistern by her son, Gu'
Ericke, when he returned to the house
at O'Clock in the eve ling, Mrs.
Fricke was at home alone but circum-
stances show that her death was asciden-
tai, she having lost her balance and
fell in while drawing water with a
pail attached to rope. DR.. Gleason
was called but all efforts to revive her
were futile. She was 81 years of age
ana had lived here nearly all her life.
Her husband died six months ago.
She is survived by five children, Mrs.
Samuel Price of Chicago; Mrs. O. e..
Nelson and William Fricke of MiIwau-

Father O'Leary was then called upon
and responded in a few remarks. He
was plainly deeply touched. He refer
red feelingly to the twelve years spent
in building up the parish and said that
the spiritual results of his labors and
the evident appreciation and good will
Of his flock are infinitely more precious
than any material gift he could re-
ceive. The audience Jhronged around
to tender individual fluctuations and
following that the ladies' guild served
refreshments
The celebration, in its sincere ex-
preston of regard for the pastor, its
hniform spirit of joy, its simple and
earnest talks, its enjoyable music was
the ideal affair for which the original
ors had hoped

north side to start a new parish result
ed in Rev. j. T. O'Leary being sent
here He leased the abandoned Episco-
pal church, the historic old "brown
church at 9th and Chicago streets,
where the new congregation worship
ped for several years. The pastor was
ndefatigable in both spiritual and
business matters. He purchased four
of the most desirable lots in the city
and 1905 saw the dedication of the
$4,000 combination school and church.
Since then the congregation has built
a $4,000 rectory and purchased $500
Sisters residence and cemetery
within the city cemetery. This spring
for the mere asking $4,000 was raised
to decrease the debt and low with the
normal revenue the balance can be
discharged in three or four years.
All this was accomplished in spite of
the frequently discouraging aspect.
The pew holders have increased from
the original forty to over two hundred
without any material increase in popu-
lation. Virtual wonders have been
worked
Father O'Leary is striking indivi-
dual. He is an able orator but also a
great thinker. He does not strive to
excite but to convert, and he has con-
verted. A most remarkable gift in the
use OF words enriches his powers OF
rapid thinking and makes him in con-
slant demand as a pulpit orator al
neighboring cities. But more impor-
tant is bis unwavering Christian zeal

HEALTH OFFICER TANGIE.

The rival claimants for the Office OF
city health officer have reached court
proceedings at last.
The board of health early in May
met to elect health officer. This
board is composed of three aldermen
and city physician Shimek They we're
deadlocked over the election. Two
socialist aldermen voted for Dr.. West
gate, and the other two for DR.. Meany.
Following the custom they drew lots
and DR.. Meany apparently won. He
qualified and undertook the duties OF
the office.
The question arose as to the legality
of the method Of the appointment. On
demand of the Mayor the city attorney
filed written opinion holding that
DR.. Staehle, the former incumbent,
was legally holding over; that the pro-
ceeding, of drawing lots did not consti-
tute such an 'election" as the law cal
led for, particularly when the official
record of the board of health does not
even show who won the lot drawing.
DR.. Staehle has been serving since
then but DR.. Meany has now started an
action 10 test Or. Staehles title to the
office. DR.. Staehie must show cause in
circuit court on July 9th why he should
not be temporarily enjoined from act
ing as health officer. If he loses here
the injunction may be made permanent

SILVER JUBILEE CELEBRATION.

Rev. j. Il. O'Leary pastor Of the Sa-
cred Heart congregation of this city
celebrated his silver jubilee, that is
the 25th anniversary of his ordination,
last week Upon the initiative OF sew
eral of the parish societies celebra
tion was planned to be kept a profund
secret. Notice of it got into the press
however in some manner but this did
not interfere with the success of the af-
fair. The whole congregation gather

cation had volunteered as gift, partly
by societies to which was added the
mite of every individual.
Short talks were given by Harry
Kelley, Francis Murphy, Lawrence
Ledvina, Mrs. Ed. Rand and Edward
Kelley. These we're all in the spirit
of congratulation, felicitation, and
praise Of the pastor. Mr.. Ledvna, a
student of things ecclesiastic, outlined
the history of the jubilee under the old
Mosaic law. Harry Kelley gave a
philosopbic talk on religion-its spiri-
tual grip upon the heart of man. lie
referred to the subject of the celebra-
tion in laudatory terms. His talk was
mpressive--one of those that holds at
tention. Mr.. Murphy made a hit with
some inmitable drollery and Edward
Kelley rose to some splendid periods
eXtoll,ng the merits of the priest.
Mrs. Rand surprised the audience with
a spirited delivery, a clever little talk.

The council met in adjourned session
Tuesday evening to pass upon applica-

The committee on licenses recon-
mended that IS of the 10 applications be
granted and that on Recommendation OF
the police chief, they opposed Frank
Zeman' application. Kapitz then ask
ed that the Mrs. Xaems' application
be laid aside. The II were then grant
ed. Taking up the Kaems application
Kapitz said that the license is in the
name of the wife so that the husband,
August Kaems, may lawfully serve on
the city fire and police commission and
he moved that the application be reject
ed. 1t was discussed but only Kapitz
and w. Schroeder voted against the
Mrs, Kaems application.
There remained only the application
of Frank Zeman, Jr, for license at
the Little Star" formerly Gehbe S
Pacific. The applicants father, alder
man from the fourth, pleaded for
granting it. Schuetze made two fer
vid speeches favoring overriding the
chiefs recommendation He said that
there are worse places in town. Scherer
who had signed the report said Il mis-
trust the chief. He doesn't know
everything" Why wasn't the licen-
see called before the committee. {.
Schroeder spoke for Zeman. III e
chief of police explained his opposition
to Zeman, Jr. saying it was a hang-out
for buns, that he is now RAINING illeg-
ally on Gehbe's license. The mayor

woke" Despite the chief the license
was granted The vote was. For IL
cense, Rugowski, Bigel, kapitz, two

BASEBALL.

One of the greatest games of ball
ever played here came off at this
city last Sunday, Sheboygan, our dear
est enemy, and our boys struggled
twelve innings to a 0 TO tie. A cou-
pie of victories over Sheboygan is en-
joyed as much here as a pennant win
ming. Everything was right except
the weather 1t was cold and occas-
sionaliy it dfizzled. 500 Shehoygan
excursionists enlivened things. The
weather kept the local crowd at home.
Stoney McGlynn 'came back" and en-
gagged in hurting duello with Arizo-
ma Hall Five hits off the iron man
and four from the cowboys delivery
tell the story. Hall had the best of it
for several times only brilliant fielding
by the locals saved hits and runs.
Pete Herzog played his first game at
first and carried himself like verita-
bic Chase or Donohue on that corner.
Despite the raw wind the crowd
stuck, seeming unable to tear away
from the real exhibition of the~natural
sport being staged.
In the 18th the managers agreed to
call the game at the end of the inning
In the last half, with two gone, Butt
was safe by wide margin at second,
but Kid Broad waved him out and end
ed the game. A near riot occurred re-
quirring police protection for Mr..
umps.
The features were the pitching of
both, Manitowoc's fielding ant Clusters
throwing to second base.
