PAINFUL ACCIDENT TO POSTMASTER
ESSLINGER. On last Tuesday evening
when the train in which the delegates
from this district to attend the Repub-
lican State Convention, at Madison,
reached east Madison, . the gentlemen
composing the Representatives of this
district, Messrs. Luling, White and
Esslinger, attempted to leave the train
the two for~e I" gentlemen reached
the platform in safety, but Mr. Essling'
er, unfortunately missed a step, and
the cars being in motion, he fell be-
tween the wheels and the platform, and
was severely crushed and bruised by
the passing wheels, and no doubt would
have been instantly killed by the other
wheels OF the car which was moving
towards him, had he not, by the most
superhuman muscular, exertion, threw
himself bodily from the track on to the
platform, where he was taken up in ar
almost insensible condition. This NOR
ming, we regret to announce that Mr.
Esslinger, 50 far from improving, is
getting worse, being unable to obtain
any sleep, although sedatives have
been administered by his attending
physician. 1t is feared he has suffered
some internal injuries. We trust thai
this is not SO, though it would be :lir
acle if such is not the case.

Unexpected Cigar Smoker.

James Payn tells US that Harriet
Martineau smoked cigars! She was
told 1t was good for deafness and
tried It. He supplied her with mild
brand. and says he smoked with her
often. Yet she would be the last
guess, the most unlikely puffer of the
weed in the whole category of famous
womenl One would almost as soon
think OF Hannah More or Susannah
Wesley having an after-dinner ciga'
fette!

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES
FORTY.FOUR YEARS AGO.

CHARTER ELECTION-The taXpay-
ing voters of this city will please take
notice that our charter election comes
off Tuesday, the second day of April,
for the election of Mayor, Alderman,
Treasurer, etc, for this city. We
have been told, time and time again,
that the city of Sheboygan was cover
ed foot deep with railroad and other
bonds in aid of her railroad and harbor
improvements. But it was sad com
mentary on that sort of argument,
when we read, in their local papers,
about tax paying time last winter,
"that some growled about high taxes,
and that they were arife less than
two per cent on their valuation, all
claiming that the valuation was low, y
while we, with an acknowledged
high valuation, were paying five per
cent We remember of hearing very
significant remarks from Republicans
when they paid their taxes. Some
swore vehemently; others, with an ON
inous shake of their heads, looked
worse things than the others said; and
had the charter election come off in
January, no Republican could have
been elected. In fact, all parties
seemed shock led, and the Puritan even
swore # snummy," the IriShman, "be
gorry;" the German, mine Got;" the
Polander, "Psakrev:" the Bohemian,
"Zatraceny;" the Norwegian, "For'
banded" the Yankee, "by the great
immortal" we cannot stand such valu'
ations 10 addition to our enormous
street taxes of from one to two thou
sand dollars on each street. Gentle
men, be warned in time, and attend the
primary meetings and vote the Demo
cratic ticket, or you will see the same
hand writing on the WALL again mex!
winter with no other satisfaction thar
to swear and pay as before.

The city council should prepare some
kind Of a side walk on Eighth street,
particularly in the business portion, on
which people might travel withou'
stumbling over dogs. The dog arc
spread all over the side walk, iostling,
rolling, snarlng and impeding travel.
A boy should receive more considera-
tion than dog, buf If a group of boys
should tangle themselves up on the
idewalk, roll about and prove such an
intolerable nuisance as the dogs are,
there would be vigilance committee
appointed and the boys would be driven
from the city or smothered in snow
drift. But the dog must have personal
liberty no matter how much he might
trespass on the convenience OF the pub
lie. For the dog all seasons are sum
mer and no place too sacred. The dir
ty brute is to Manitowoc people what
the sacred ibis was TO the ancient
Egyptians, an object OF veneration
II the people will only organize a

aid and comfort The Pilot can besto W

Why not give them swimming

that would be absolutely safe?
Such pool need not cost a
great deal of money. There is

now owned by the city and at tie
present time put to no good use.
Surely the boys lives are worth
the effort. Even the peace of mind
that would come to every mother

Paramount is going to have one
of the best. if not the best moving
picture shows in the state when
the H. 0. Hubbard hall is colnplc:-
ed. 1t is built of cement blocks
with a fire brick front. Built ac-
cording to the state laws, abso-
lutely tire-proof. The hail has a
balcony and two ante rooms. :.
stage and orchestra pit. The hall
will be opened with grand blow
out. music by first class orches-
ira.
The hall is great improvement
to the City of Opportunities and
we predict the Paramount movies
will bring crowds from the sur
rounding towns.

LAST INDIAN SLAVE DEAD
sehickulash Pete Had Lived for Many
Years Among White People In
State Of Washington.

At Hoquiam, WASH, Schickulash
Pete, believed to be the oldest man in
the Northwest and the last Of the
Grays Harbor Indian slaves, has just
died at the age of one hundred and ten
years.
Another Of the slaves, John Kettle,
died recently at the age of one hum
dred and five, and with the passing Of
Pete they have all now gone to the
happy hunting grounds, the New York
Sun states.
The old Indian, better known as
Humptulips Pete from the fact that
for more than thirty years he had
lived in the Humptulips valley, was a
resident of Grays Harbor for Is years.
or since 1910, when he came with q
war party of Indians from the Colum-
bia river to attack the harbor Indians.
The invaders, large band, came
into the harbor in canoes and landed
at James Rock, about six miles west
Of Hoquiam. There they camped for
the night, pulling their canoes high
up on the beach to be out of reach of
the tide.
During the night the Indians of the
harbor attacked the invaders and the
last big Indian battle of the Grays
Harbor district was fought there.
Most Of the invaders were either
killed or captured, only a few escap-
ing. The captives were made prison.
ers. and among their number were the
two Indians known after the white
men came as Humptulips Pete and
John Kettle.
Both were freed by the Governor
Stevens treaty with the Grays Harbor
Indians.

LARGER SAVINGS
NOW posslRl s

Larger postal savings deposits
will now be accepted at the post
office. This is made possible by an
important amendment to the Pos
tai Savings Act just approved by
President Wilson. A postal saw
ings depositor may now have an
account amounting to $1,000 up
On which interest will be paid.
Formerly $500 was the maximum
amount he could have to his Gre
dit. This enlargement of postal
savings facilities will be very graf
flying to thousands of depositors
who have already reached the $500
limit and are anxious to entrust
