A Great Church Leader

JAMES MONROE BUCKLEY. By Gsots. Preston
Mains illustrated. syo pp. So5 The Methodist
Book Concern.
People used to ask, spropos OF gen
eral conferences Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, "Why don't they
make Jim Buckley a bishop The
answers-for there were several-were
quite obvious to those of US who were
familiar with the subject of the in
quiry, and should be to every reader
Of DR.. Mains's singularly illuminating
volume. With all possible respect for
and appreciation Of the Office Of Bishop
in that great Church, which has been
held by some truly great men. 1t
would have been scandalous waste
of good material to put Dr. Buckley
into it. We. have an idea that he
thought so himself. and that il ever
there was man in Methodism com
petent TO say "Nolo Episcooari" he
was the man.
IL was doubtless as the editor q

a vivid personal description OF that

profoundly gratifed to find that nearly
all the officers senior 10 him on the

generously ignored the fact that he
would thus be placed above them and
expressed the hope that he would be

A most delightful feature OF the
book is its inclusion Of the text, YER

"Log OF the Oregon" from the Golden

MRS. N0VY GETS AWARD.

Mrs. Novy, widow Of the late John
Novy, has been given an award of $4,000
against the local Gas Company because
of the death of her husband while 10
the employ of the Company. The
circumstances of his death caused a
lot of comment last September. A
minute piece of steel, thought to have
been a splinter from a blacksmith 8
hammer pierced his abdomen and the
fact was unknown to him for half
hour. He then tainted and died after
two operations. He vas about his en-
ployer's business when injured and a
good case was apparent under the
Workmen's Act but the Liability Com
pany in which the Gas Co. is insured
contested the matter. Hearings were
had before the Industrial Commission
in January. The award gives Mrs.
Novy Sl43l cash and S40.5o per month
until all payments total $4,000. Hougen
& Brady we're the attorneys for Mrs.
Novy and Nash & Nash for the G
Company.

KNAPP WILL VOID.

The Knapp will case reported at the
time Of the hearing in county court a
lew weeks ago has been decided by
Judge Chloupek.
The late a. d. Knapp OF Quarry
shortly before his death made a will
leaving his estate of about $4,000 to
Fred Winkelman, proprietor OF sa-
loon at Quarry, with oral instructions
to Winkelman to care for 10 year old
girl who had been in Knapp's home.
Sisters Of Knapp attacked the will on
the grounds OF undue influence and
mental incapacity of Knapp to make a
lawful will. The mental incapacity it
was urged was caused by long continu.
ed habit of excessive use OF alcoholic
stimulant. The court now decides that
the deceased had not capacity to make
a will when the instrument in question
was executed and In consequence the
twill" is set aside. 1t will probably be
Hougen q Brady repre-.
sented the contestants and Healy &
Joyce and E, S. Schmitz were attorneys
for the opponents.

EDUCATIONAL.
(By G. w. Meisnest.)

A short time ago the lockwood
Graded School at Kossuth had "Com-
munity Gathering" which proved to be
a success in every way, short pro-
gram consisting of musical numbers
both vocal and instrumental, and reci-
tations and songs by the primary pupils
Mr.. Clusen of Manitowoc gave a Vic
trola concert. After this program
games were played and all joined in
both young and old.
A box social followed the program
and twenty-five dollars were cleared.
A kitchen cabinet will be purchased
with the proceeds, and picture for
the primary room
lockwood is growing place and al
ways shows a fine spirit toward any
thing progressive. Within a short
time it will be necessary for this COM
munity to enlarge its present school
building to accommodate the children.
A special meeting will be called this
spring.

AUTOMOBILE SHOWS.

Saturday and Sunday last the city
had two automobile shows. The
public garage owners association, con-
sttuting an authorized Board OF Trade,
so to speak, were holding forth at the
Opera House, while the independents
facetlously referred to as curb auto
brokers were conducting rival show
at the Orpheum. Both places we're
packed with exhibits and both had
good crowds. The Wagner Style shop
put on a style show with living models
that helped some. At the Opera House
show there were cars on exhibition by
Bchnke Bros, w. +. Hagen, Anderson
Company, Rummele & Braxmeier,
Dicke Co., Hall Bros, Charles ].
Bouril and the Hamachek Agency of
Two Rivers beside motorcycles by sew
eral dealers.
At the Orpheum there were cars ex-
hibited by Paulus Bros. J. w. Martin,
Frank Guse, Sr., Lippert & Huebner,
Auto Service Co., Albert Schuetze,
s. Schwarz, Pathfinder Co., Johannes
& Swenson Co., the Winton Co., Will
liam koeppen, and Charles Selk, Jr.
Many OF these were from Two Rivers.
There we're also exhibits by many
dealers in accessories.
Each management asserted that its
show had been success and both APP
peared TO be correct.

SOLDIERS BANQUETED
AND WELCOMED.

The formal ceremonies of welcome
home to Co. II Second Wisconsin In
fantry took place Tuesday evening this
week. At p. M. there was banquet
at the Guild Hall of St. James church.
Present were the soldiers recently re-
turned from their eight months of fed
eral service near the Mexican border,
a number of G. A. r., Spanish War
Veterans, and former officers OF Co. II.
Judge Baensch presided. Speeches
were made by Henry Schmidt who re-
lated civil war "reminiscences in a vein
that kept the audience in roars, Clarence
Primm Secretary vi the local Chamber
of Commerce to whose efforts the sue
cess of the celebration was due and
Capt Charles Krumm former COM
mander of the Company. AT 8 O'Clock
the banqueters marched to the Opera
House. Shortly after the. auditorium
was filled to capacity and the curtain
was raised and disclosed Co. FL. seated
on the stage. In the absence OF Major
Williams, the scheduled speaker Judge
Baensch. filled in. 1t was perhaps just
as we'll Ee related briefly the history
of the national, the state and the local
militia interspersed with typical
Baenschian bits of humor and flights of
eloquence. City Attorney Harry Kel-
ley briefly gave the formal welcome
home. The presentation of the bronze
medals was pretty sight. Capt.
Knudson read the roster. Capt. Abel,
father of the present captain, and COM
mander of the com pany in the Spanish
war, pinned on the first eight badges.
Following him in this act were the
following former officers: Capt.
Brandt, Capt. Krumm, Capt Buerstat-
tie, Lieut.. Groffman, Lieut.. Thorison
and Lieut.. Nemetz. There was song
by the Mozart quartette which necessi-
tated another The three commission
Ell officers of the Company, Capt. Wal
ter Abel, Lieutenants Edward Schmidt
and William Jung gave brief talks.
The wind up was reception to the
boys and hundreds went up and shook
hands with them. The affair was a
huge success. Two Rivers gives the
boys reception later this week.

CRASH At BAD CROSSING.

The corner o. 10Th and Washington
streets is s'rely, 1.-The most dang src1s IN
the city. There is more cross traffic
there than at any other point and the
street cars have always had practice
of making the long level straight
stretch Of Washington street at toe
high rate of speed.
Last Sunday afternoon at this cross
ing street car collided With an auto
mobile in which there were three
young men. The driver of the auto.
mobile said that the car sounded no
warning for the crossing. He did not
notice the street car until it was upon
him. There will be tragedy at this
crossing unless there is more pre-
caution. The street cars should not
be permitted to make up time on
Washington street. No one was hurt
this time but that wasn't the fault of
the driver of either vehicle.

also reported as having met and per-
formed the same kindly Office. Their
final selection for mayor was John

Signs indicate that there will be a
campaign such as the city has not
seen since Charles Groffman defeated

the fact that my pupils grades four

of school life. So conceived plan OF
redirecting their enthusiasm.
On the next Friday afternoon we
held town meeting. The chairman
announced that we would first select q
name for our town" We decided on
on "Learnington." Next we elected
marshal whose principal duties were to
see that the lines were in order in the
marching An assistant marshal's du.
ties were to tap bell as signals for
dismissal. Aisle commissioners were
TO see that aisles and desks were kept
clean and orderly. Plant commission
ers were to care for our miniature con.
seryatory. Health officers were to re-
port on unsanitary things.
Next we cleared set OF shelves In a
corner Of the room and put in a stock
of goods for store which we christen.
ed the Harrington Mercantile Com
pany."
A few weeks later we established a
city library and elected & librarian.
Also we have bank and a postoflice.
At every town meeting we learn
something about town government.
