We we're shown by Edward Conway
at his warehouse on Buffalo street a
very handy contrivance for taking the
measurement of grain. 1t is an at
tachment for threshing machine and
can be operated by small boy. There
is no liability of its getting out OF or
der and records the measurement OF
grain by half bushels--up to two hun
dred. The price of the attachment is
very small and we would advise all
farmers to purchase one.

On Monday Hugo Klingholz Of Mani
towoc Rapids received injuries which
are quite likely to result fatally. He
and his brother.in-lav win Lueps,
were taking water at hydrant near
the residence Of j. Il. Harris. They
had a tank such as is used by thresb-
ing machines. When the tank was
about filled the hose was lifted out
and the water spurted on the horses.
Mr.. Klingholz jumped to their heads
to hold them but he was thrown down
and one OF the wheels passed over his
body. Four Of the ribs on his left side
were broken, some being splintered
and broken in several places. He was
taken to the residence OF j. Il. Harris
where he now lies lowering between
life and death. Mr.. Klingholz is one
OF the best citizens OF the county and
every one prays for his recovery.

They're gone.

Manitowoc's first detachment of Ma
tional guardsmen left the Northwest
ern depot this morning at 6:30 for
Camp Douglas. There were ninety
three men in the company. Recruits
continue to pour inUo the armory and
it is quite certain that the company
will be up to full war strength OF $50
men in day or two.
There has been considerable excite
ment in the city since it became known
Monday that Company II had been
called out for war service. There was
huge crowd at the depot this morn
ing, fully five thousand people to wit
ness the departure of the soldiers.
The marine band escorted the soldiers
from the armory to the depot. Moth
ers with tear dimmed eyes babe fare
we'll to their sons and urged them to
be brave and follow the examples of
their fathers who had answered Lin
coins call fifty five years ago; faith
ers gave their lads a paternal blessing;
here and there were the soldiers bid
ding goodbye to sobbing sweethearts
and trying to comfort them with the
assurance that they would come back
soon.
AS the train pulled out the onlookers
cheered and the whistles blew and con-
tinued to blow until the train curved
away to the west and out of sight.

| own life by heroic battle with the
current when their skiff went down
| in the Ohio river at Dam 13 at Nc
! Mechen, yesterday. According 10 in.
| formation from Shadyside, Danford
and Costo were .out in d skiff fishing
near the Ohio shore when a bear trap
at the dam was lowered without warn.
| ing. The rush of water dashed the
skiff against an abutmcnt wall and
| Danford went down 10 his death.
! Costo managed TO save himself by a
desperate battle with the river cur
rent and swan 10 the Ohio shore.
! Coroner Henry Roger, of Martins

vestigation of the accident but no in
quest can be held until the body Of
Danford is recovered.
