URGING PARKS.

The city park commission met last
Friday and considered park sites offer
ed. They decided to recommend to
the city council that the city purchase
the Platt tract north of the city and
lease the west side ball park site.
The west side site can be had on long
term lease with an option to purchase
on reasonable terms. The Platt tract
is offered for Sl4 900. 1t extends from
the Shoto road to the Little Manitowoc
river and is partly woodland. The
west side purchase is urged for play
ground purposes as it Is one of the last
base ball grounds left in that part OF
the city and would certainly make an
excellent public playground. Some
lots in the block west Of this are also
available and will probably be added if
the project goes through.

POLICE TAKE BRIDE AND GROOM.

"A romance, As the imaginative re-
porters call it, that was about to fruet-
ify into a honeymoon was cut short at
Sheboygan last Saturday. The we'd
ding was Indefinitely postponed. Man
itowoc officers took charge of the
groom and Milwaukee police led away
the bride. Both were wanted and un-
fortunately their escorts led them in
opposite directions The ofIense OF the
swain, Matt Palmer was only "jump-
ing board bill The charge against
the bride is theft.
Palmer was working here until re.
Gently. He left town in July leaving
note for his landlady, Mrs. Hallisey,
stating that he had been summoned
out Of town and to call at Rahr Sons
Co. on August first and get his pay.
The landlady wentover there without
waiting and learned that he had drawn
all his wages. The sheriff was looking
for him since.
While the Milwaukee police were
looking for the girl, Erna Behring,
for six months, she was working here
at Manitowoc as waitress in several
hotels most Of the time Palmer has
been working at Sheboygan Falls since
leaving here and boarding at the place
where the girl WAS employed
In municipal court here Palmer
pleaded guilty to jumping S23 board
bin and was sentenced to three months
at labor. The money he earns goes To
the county and not to the landlady he
defrauded; curious law, sure.

OUR TEACHERS.

1t may be safely said that many
schools in which morals are never
taught from textbooks, or by formal
exercises, furnish most stimulating
drill in the higher and finer morali-
ties every day, Many of US know
teachers, who, without much preach
ing, convey, in all their intercourse
with their pupils, the influences and
qualities which purify and inyigorate
character. A considerable acquain-
tance with teachers impresses me with
the belief that the feelings Of their re-
sponsibility for the moral welfare of
their pupils, and their appreciation Of
the value of character, are steadily
deepening among them. No profession
is so sacred that shallow and self.seek-
ing persons do not find place in it; but
believe that as much seriousness and
devotion may be found among the
teachers of our common schools as
among any other class Of persons-the
clergy not excepted. Washington

Grandfather Bull-Frog was the most

 RAZOR AND LIQUOR
Joe Caldero Cuts His Partner Seriously and Is Now in
 Gleeson Bastile.
Special to The Review)

SOUTHLAND, Aug. 19.-As a re- suit of an argument, stimulated to a great degree by an ove..ldulgsnCe in bootleg, Jce Caldero, an Italian, is in jail at Gleeson with the possibility of a murder charge hanging over his head and his ertswhile partner, Joe Crolio, is veyr seriously injured.
 Both are Italians and came to Courtland some time ago from Bis bee. They have been leasing and are partners in the work. Last night they drank considerable liquor and Caldero started to use his razor. He cut his partner on the left arm, to the bone, and also made gash sixteen inches long on his left side. which entered the lungs in one place. Gro lio's condition is extremely serious.
 Caldero was a veritable maniac. In order to subdue him it was necessary to knock him down with the butt end of a gun. Lafe Gibson of Gleeson was sent for and the officer again had to floor the Italian before anything could be done with him. Caldero was taken to the Gleeson jail where he now is incarcerated.

C. & A. Official Will Receive Special Treatment for His
 Broken Back.

Following an examination of the injuries sustained by Assistant Chief Engineer James A Lewis, Jr., in the Junction shaft, Thursday, Dr. Rich ardson, the Los Angeles specialist, decided yesterday to take the pa tient to the Methodist hospital in Los Angeles, where the case will be ob- served closely before further treat ment is ordered.
 Dr. Richardson commended the work done by the C. & A. hospital staff immediately following the ac- cident. He described the case as by on means hopeless. explaining the fracture of the vertebrae as of less importance that the partial destruc- tion of the spinal cord. The most emi- nent surgeons decline to discuss pos abilities or probabilities when the spinal cord is concerned, so Dr. Rich ardson was silent IS to this feature of the case.
 MT Lewis will he carried to Los Angeles in a special car. reclining on scientifically-constru cot. He was in good spirits yesterday and his courage was of material assistance to the surgeons.

 Salutations were exchanged, abso- lutely verbal, mind you. and while Joe was explaining that if the meet ing had been in his office at Miami he might have arranged for little Kentucky cordiality, one of the score of office attendants brought up card on which was written, "Gila County Representative Arizona Board of Trade"

FRIENDLY J0KERS
 ARE F0ILED WHEN
 SLY LOVERS ELOPE
Popular Couple Slip Quietly
 to Douglas and Marry, Then Telephone Parents That They're Off on Honeymoon

After much careful scheming, Rice Golf, of-the Shattuck office force and Miss Derrelle Smith, of the Phelps Dodge Hardware department, sue ceeded in hoodwinking their many friends as well as their parents and successfully eloped to Douglas and were married without anyone knowing of their secret.
 In the afternoon Miss Smith tele- phoned her sister and made an ap- pointment with an imaginary person at the Reynolds Music store and thus opened the way to go quietly home and pack her things. Golf also pulled like stratagems to keep his arrange ments in darkness. Thus the way was clear and the couple left the Smith residence to visit some friends. MT Smith sat quietly waiting for his daughters return until 11:00 o'clock when he answered the phone. It was a long distance call and his daughters voice at Douglas informed him of the fact that Mir and Mrs. Rice Golf were leaving on the first train for Fl Paso.
 The friends of the groom had ex- pected the wedding last night and had laid plans for the Kidnapping of the groom but like the wise red fox, he got ahead of them.
 The newly weds will spend a weeks vacation in Fl Paso on their honey moon and then return to Bisbee where they will make their future home.
