FINAL DRIVE

A final week drive has been launched
by the War Mothers of Wisconsin, to
put across the $40 bonus for the sol
dcrs, sailors and marines, special
election on this question to be held on
Sept. 2. The War Mothers have one
of the most complete and active organ
izations in the history of the state and
have flooded the entire state with post
ers, stickers and circulars Every pas
tor has been reached with a letter re
queslng him to present the duty Of
voting in favor of the bonus to his con
grcgation. From all indications the
bonus bill is going over with "a big ma
.iority, thanks to the activities of the
War Mothers of Wisconsin.
Though War Mothers in their cam
paign are pointing out that not only is
the fighting man benefited by this
bonus, but the nurses who did such no
Bile service as well,
"Many of the men who stayed at
home in safety during the world war
were benefited financially by high
wages and the returning service men
are now at disadvantage" said Mrs
-. NJ. Potter, chairman of the War
Mothers bonus committee. at is for
this reason and the fact that no sum Of
money can adequately recompense the
nurses and service men, any fair mind
ed person cannot but help acknowledge
that they deserve at least $40 a
month bonus as slight token of ap-
probation and to help them reestablish
themselves in the community"
According to members of the War
Mothers Of Wisconsin who gave their
sons in service, the greatest tribute
that can be paid to the heroic dead is
to do Justice to the surviving com
rades. The War Mothers say that they
do not want their sons to fight over
there" for us and be compelled to fight
again for their rights at home.

08lTUA2 I

Dr. John Mulholland, for many years
a resident of this county and for thir-
teen years a practicing physician here,
died at Jordan, Mimi, last Saturday.
lie was born in Pawtucket, Mass, Feb.
lS49. DR.. Mulholland's father was a
very early settler in Meeme and played
an important part for a quarter cen
tury of the cOunty's history. The fam
lily was reared in the then Irish settle
ment and were always respected and
their many admirable qualities thor
oughly recognized and appre. lated, al-
though the Mulhollands were ( ScQtcs
stock. The Doctor spent the most ac-
tive years of his life in practice in the
west and came back to ManitowOc to
semi-rctirement and confined his
practice here to the eye and ear Some
twelve years ago he went to kcnosha
and the past few years has been in
charge of a santarium in Minnesota.
He never married. He is survived by
three brothers, Henry of this city, vii
liam of Ken0sha and Robert of Men
ominee and two sisters, Mrs. Agnes
Cleary of Kcnosha and Mrs. Van Pat
ton of Annaheim, Cal,
How thorough a student DR.. Mulhol-
land was and of how high an order was
his intellect only his few intimatcs
knew The late John Nagle, a capable
Judge, held DR.. Mulholand's attain
mentS in profound respect as he often
intmated In some branches of his
profession he might have attained dis
tinction had he had ambition for any
thing more than the quiet of the stu
dents laboratory and library. lie trod
his own path; quiet and serene, with
many friends, few intimatcs and no
enemies, and passed away as unoh-
trusiyely as he lived. A kind, big
hearted, big-brained man, a real gen
tleman of the old school has gone down
the long road to which all roads lead.
The funeral was held yesterday
morning from the home of his br.ther
Henry Services we're held at Sacred
Heart church, Father Luby officiating.

R0BBERIES CLEARED UP

Last Friday series of robberies
were committed while nearly the whole
town was at the fair grounds. The Du-
sold store, Eighth street and Cleveland
avenue, was entered and $50 in cash, a
$50 Liberty bond and watch were
taken. At the c. w. Mesnest home,
1913 Michigan avenue, and the Bursek
home near by cash and government
bonds were secured. Juseph Bursek
recognized lad named Borzyskowski,
aged 10, connected with the carnival
company at the grounds as a boy who
had been hanging around his house
Friday. When arrested the boy ad-
mitted having served as a lookout for
a negro named Wauhn who, he said,
committed the robberies. Wauhn is
also with the carnival and his arrest
will clear up the whole matter. The
police did some really good and prompt
work in this matter

THE FAIR

Manitowoc county's annual fair, held
last week was the biggest, and in the
opinion of many by far the best in the
history of the Institution.
The weather was ideal, the exhibits
were good, the horse racing was up to
standard, the free outdoor attractions
were high grade and the crowds were
record breakers. Friday there were
10000 paid admissions and probably
G,000 or 1000 Youngsters who were adj
mitted free The ready made pike con-
sisting of the big street fair combina-
ton of shows added to the success of
the fair. even though all of their
shows did not strictly conform to many
peoples ideas of the morally fit in a
publicly owned educational exhibition.
One in particular might well have been
appropriate to Chicago black and tan
resort.
The races brought out some excel
lent sport for lovers of harness racing.
One event Friday ana ahother oatuf-
day went to extra heats
The night feature was popular and
the ground was crowded Friday even
ing.
All in all the fair justified itself and
very probably insured its continuance
for years. The receipts were double
the receipts Of the 1918 fair. Secre-
tary Fred Borcherdt Jr., has made a
reputation in successful handling of the
big affair. The success or failure Of an
affair of this kind can almost be said
to depend very largely on the secretary
and Mr.. Bordcherdt can be credited
with distinct achievement. The fair
is unusually lucky in having three of
fcials like NJ. II. Dempsey, the presi-
dent, and f. 4. Xentner, the treasurer.

the rally in that round when he singled
along the third base line.

HIGHWAY CONDEMNATION

The state highway authorities are
condemning a strip of land through the
Rosinski premises Just north of the
citv's Platt park land on the east side
of the Shoto road for the new section
of the trunk line highway which is to
run from the Shoto road east to con-
meet with the lake shore road at the
Iindstedt farm More than thirty wit
nesses were heard last week at the
hearing in the county court rooms. Inc
strip the public desires is 3.2f acres
and it was variously valued at from
Sl,700 to $4,000 by witnesses. Some
of the witnesses took into consldera-
ton its valuable gg.mcl deposits and the
damage to the property not taken
while others apparently did not. Tie
highway people are said to have agreed
on purchase prices with the other land
owners.
Later-Ye Yesterday it was given out
that Mr.. RoSinsky had come to set
Element with the highway commission
and that he would receive $4,000 for a
strip 81 feet wide running along paral-
lei within is north line and one foot dis
tant from the line, Mr.. RosinSky thus
retaining a ribbon one foot wide be-
tween the city's gravel farm and the
new highway. 1t was also announced
that the grading, gravelng and bridge
construction will be done this fall, but
the concrete work will probably go
over until spring.
Mr.. Rosinsky is said to have been
firmly of the opinion that the city
should have given half the road from
its gravel farm and that the one foot
was retained to prevent the city's land
from abutting on the new highway.

LICENSE FOR NEAR BEER

City Attorney Z. l.. Kelley is said to
he prepared to inform the city council
at its next meeting that the attorney
general has rendered an opinion that
no one can lawfully sell malt liquors
containing any alcohol at all without a
city license. The supreme court de-
cided some years ago that under the
old excise laws malt liquor contain
ing only IS per cent of alcohol came
within the terms Of the statute. This
means that all the groceries, ice-cream
parlors and other unlicensed places
selling Bevo, Bravo, Brano and like
NEAR beers" must quit the practice
The old law continues in Wisconsin un-
til the federal amendment goes into eff
feet next January aud these unlicensed
places could not be given licenses in
Manitowoc If they wanted them be-
cause the Baker law limits the number
of licensed places.
1t is supposed that the council will
grant licenses to all the applicants at
the next meeting at places which were
formerly licensed The question of
selling the 2.5 per cent beer is not in
yolved in this decision. 1t merely goes
to the so-called near beer, which is
as nearly non-alcoholc as it is possible
to make it,
The new state law provides for re
funding a fart Of the license money if
the sale Of 4he an is prohibited LAT r.

BOY SAYS He is DROWNED

Relatives here Of George SNokoski,
aged lG, are wondering just what the
facts are in regard to the boy. Letters
were received in the city announcin"
the drowning of the lad from the
steamer Wilpen on Lake Erie ON Aug.
%. The family here had received post
cards from Duluth from the boy dated
two days after the time of the reported
drowning. The letter and the cards
appear to be in the same handwriting
The lad ran away from home this sum
mer and was known to be on the Will
pen. The letters are doubtless hoax.
