MARRIED..

Miss Myra Pickard and Mr.. Frank
Fetzer were married by Father
O'Leary at the Sacred Heart church
last Monday morning at o'clock.
They were attended by Miss Ora Fetz-
er, sister Of the groom and Oscar Braun
of Chicago, former resident of the
city. There was a reception at the
home of the brides parents and the
young couple later left on honey
moon. The bride is professional IL
brarian having recently graduated from
the state library school at Madison and
later held library position at Slough
ton. Without availing ourselves Of
the license allowed in wedding notices
we can frankly say that the bride is a
young woman of sweet disposition and
genuine culture. These coupled with
unusual pre- possessing charms make
a combination that any man might be
proud to have won.
Frank is a conscientious, Industrious
young man. He is employed at the
savings bank and has the earmarks of
a success.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT.

Manitowoc has several first class
clay tennis courts but the sport has
been pursued in desutory manner
and there has not been for years any
organization. Paul Esch is now ar
ranging for a tournament to be held on
September and 4, on the new court at
CD North Seventh street.
The tournament is open to all and
entries may be made il singles or
doubles. To meet expense small en-
try fee is required, The prizes are:
Doubles-First, two loving cups; sec
ond-two watch fobs. Singles-loving
cup. There are many tennis enthusi-
asts in the city and many who were
years ago but who require some little
incentive to get X into the game.
1t is royal sport for the young people
and it is to be hoped that the effort
for large revival will meet with
deserved success.

TWO OFFENDERS SENTENCED.

A strange case to come out of the
Two Greeks neighborhood was that Of
George Finklemeyer who was ar
raignsd in Municipal court last week
on . charge preferred by Mrs. Laura
Ra.he. Finkelmeyer has been en-
ployed on the Rathe farm. Her hus-
band is an inmate of the hospital for
the insane. Finklemeyer has wife
and six children. In court Friday the
defendant pleaded guilty and Judge
Schmidt sentenced him to sixteen
months at the state penitentiary.
Penalties are imposed to nicely late
ly judging by the odd fractions of a
year imposed.
Another case of misplaced attentions
was that of one Fred Reeves. Reeves
was in the city with his wife and both
were canvassing. At a south side
lone where Reeves was attempting to
negotiate a sale he evidently became
enamored of the housewife and al
though the advances he made were
spurned he thought the object of his
sudden ardor was merely coy and
persisted IN his armorous attentions.
He didn't go beyond extreme "fresh-
ness" but officer Dueno rounded him
up and Judge Schmidt gave him the
choice of S25 or 90 days. He chose the
payment.

OUR SOLDIERS.

Our soldier boys in Texas are busy
and well. The local correspondents
had to quit under military rules and
information now comes only through
private letters. Eight men of the
company have been promoted to nom
commissioned positions. Nineteen
others were designated at frst-class
privates. The company has returned
TO Camp Wilson, the whole Wisconsin
brigade having been at camp %
miles away on a practice hike and for
camp pitching experience. The time
is employed in drill and shooting prac-
tice and everything is u der strict
war time regulations. While at the
temporary camp at Leon Springs the
Co. H. boys made fine cords with the
rifle. Wisconsin soldiers continue TO
excite admiration, The boys are well
fed and. cared for and are enjoying
their expert nee despite the bardships
unavoidable in camp life.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE NOTES.

Friday night at a meeting OF the
Commercial department OF the Cham
ber OF Commerce it was decided that
all stores should close during the af.
ternoon of the third day of the County
Fair, Thursday, August 3lst. Some of
tho merchants were willing to close
both the afternoons of the second and
third days, but as others were not will
ing TO close more than ono afternoon it
was decided to have uniform action
throughout the city, everybody closing
up on one and the same afternoon.
Next year will be good year for
Missourians to visit Mantowoc.
Several members OF the Chamb Der Of
Commerce have made an inspection
of the St. Marys Orphan and Aged
Home, commonly known AS the Little
Brown Sisters Orphanage, and find
that the work being done there is
worthy OF commentator. This sum
mer the money available for repairs
has been put 10 good use, and the
buildings have been repainted in large
part. Cleanliness is the order OF the
day. The lawn and garden are beauti-
fully kept. The crops raised on the
adj AGENT land help somewhat in the
maintenance of the Home and it is
worth your while to see the young
boys and old men pitch into the work
They do what they can. Some of our
full grown and able bodied citizens
could profit by such an example.
The Mantowoc County Fair, filling
the middle of next week as it does,
furnishes the best possible opportunity
for the tired business man TO get out
with a red "MANlTOWOC" ribbon on
his chest and mingle with the people
from all over the county The secre-
tary Of the Chamber OF Commerce de-
sires to have a group of business men
on duty each day just TO hobnob with
the visitors and talk with them about
the things which interest them. Just
see who will volunteer. Wednesday
night the Secretary will consider the
volunteer period over, and will start
out TO requisition men to do this work
Every day OF the Fair there should be
score OF local business men right

badges, to welcome the incomer, steer

Sunday morning after an illness of
about two months. Mr.. Schreter was
% years of age. lie came to Manito-
woo about 20 years ago to engage in
the retail shoe business and has since

COUNTY FAIR,

Next week is County fair week.
This ought to be sort of general
holiday period for farmers and others
directly interested in the progress OF
the county. During the past few years
the county fair association has built
up the county fair from almost com.
plete destruction to one OF the leading
fairs in the state. Much OF the i'm
provements in the county is directly
due to the county fair.
The schools the past few years have
taken more than usual interest. How
ever, there's chance for them to do
more to make the educational depart
ment greater success. There is a
great deal OF good work done in the
county which ought to be exhibited at
the county fair which never gets
there. Now it Is still time for teach
ers to gather the material made dur
ing the past year ana have it entered
at the fair. Bring it to the office OF
County superintendent or make the
entry directly Saturday, August 20 or
Monday August % at the secretary's

The last proposal was added by
Georgenson. The matter was referred
and must be hurried if underground
work is to go this fall to prepare for
paving in 1917. 1t is not likely that it
will all go through for next year as
some sewer mains are necessary
The committee reported on proposed
street improvements that bids on three
streets be rejected and together with
4th and Lake streets, for which no bid
was received, be readvertised. This
was adopted. Hamilton from l4th to
10Th was let to Ed. Hermann and 23rd
and 24th north from Washington to
the bank was let to Trestik and Son.
Thorson started something by de-
manding that the iron railing be in
stalled on the concrete steps at the
lake bank at State street. The street
commissioner has it in charge and the
contractor who undertook to do it
seems to have made poor bargain and
he can't be gotten under way. The
mayor said the method of letting it
was irregular but instructed the com
missioner to get busy as the mailing is
OF no service in the winter.
Thorison said that the proposed sur
face drainage sewer on Huron east OF
Sth is now absolutely necessary because
OF the paved crossing at Huron and Sth
streets. Bids for it will be opened
Tuesday and the council adjourned to
Friday SO that early action can be had
on this and other sewer proposals.
The council adjourned shortly after
$50 o'clock.

AFTER CHIEF FOR SPEEDING.

There was little furry created in
city hall circles yesterday by officer
Dueno making complaint 10 the mum
icipal court that fire chief KRAFT had
violated the speed ordinance in the
chiefs automobile. II passed around
quickly and came 10 the attention of
the mayor who busted himself with
the matter at once. The important
question was whether or rot the chief
hsd been on an emergency call when
the alleged violation occurred. The
mayor was reported as saying that
prosecuting the tire chief for speeding
would make the city a laughing stock.
The errand Of the fire chief al the time
was to oversee the replacing of some
fire alarm poles where paving excaya.
ating was in progress on 18th street.
The police seem 10 think that the Gre
chief should obey the ordinance the
same as an ordinary citizen except
when on an emergency call. The
warrant has not yet served.

EDITOR JOHN MCFARLAND DEAD.

John McFarlane editor and publisher
of the Manitowoc Daily News, died at
Holy Family hospital last Friday fore
noon at II o'clock. He had been in
poor health for several months and
lost ground rapidly during the hot
weather.
He was born in Manitowoc May is,
1858. Since early boyhood he followed
the printing trade. He learned the
rudiments of the trade in the printing
offices of this city, In 1870 he went to
Tennessee where he worked at his trade
for a year. In 1871 he went to Chica-
60 and worked on the Tribune and
other Chicago papers. Five years
later he located at Racine, Wis,
where he was engaged as reporter
and later on as city editor of the Ra-
cine Daily Times. In March 1900 he
returned TO Manitowoc and founded
the Daily News. A year later his son
George became associated with him in
the business.
He was twice married. In 1880 he
married Miss Mary Thompson at Ka-
cine, who died in 1886. One son
George, was born 10 them. In 1886 he
was welded to Miss Minnie Abraham
son Of Racine, who survives with one
daughter, Jean; son George, and one
sister, Mrs. Jacob Walton of Chicago.
Mr. McFarlane was mem Der of the
Elks lodge and also of the Royal
League.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon and was largely attended. luter-
ment was in Evergreen cemetery.
To the friends far Off, US to the
friends at home, distress has come that
Editor John McFarlane has passed
away, and qualification has come in OBJ.
serving the spontaneous tributes to the
memory of the veteran editor of the
Daily News. John McFarlane was one
OF the grand old men of Wisconsin
journalism and many old friends will
learn with regret that he has an
swered the rollcall of eternity.
He was man of considerable ability,
and untlagging industry which kept
him at work years longer than he
should have trusted his health to the
strain of the discharge of the duties of
his calling. He was fearless editor
and fair fighter. He always hewed
to the line regardless of where the
chips fell. In politics he was a Re-
publican of what is now become the
older school. His death, fastened be-
yond doubt by the intense heat of
July, removes from the newspaper
craft of Manitowoc conspicuous
figure; a. man adapted to his calling,
keen, forceful and successful. In the
death of John McFarlape Manitowoc
has lost valuable citizen, big
hearted, good, honest man.
