BOY DIES SUDDENLY

An unusual occurrence happened
yesterday when Leroy Duebner, l3-
year-old boy dropped dead of heart
disease without warning.
The lad was son of Mr. and Mrs.
Ernst Duebner, 1924 South Tenth
street. He went into the Hallemeyer
grocery store on an errand about .
o'clock yesterday afternoon 1t was
noticed that he leaned against a show
case as if faint. He then slipped to the
floor and expired. A physician who was
called pronounced him dead He had
been at school Tuesday and had not
complained of being ill during the day
or after school hours. 1t was surmised
that the boy had never entirely recoy-
cred from severe attack of the flu
which he suffered during the epidemic.
He was one of seven children, the
oldest of whom is 16 years of age The
funeral will be held Saturday with
mass at St. Boniface and interrment at
Calvary.

AUTO COLLISION IN COURT

Two automobiles tried to occupy the
same space at the same time at Twen-
ty-siXth street and the Calumet road
last Labor day, and as a result twenty
five witnesses gave their versions of the
affair in municipal court last Friday.
They worked right through until 73O
p. m. without thinking of supper time.
Ernest Dill and family were coming
to the city from a visit with friends in
the country. Sylvester Rohrer, and
some friends we're indulging an inclina-
tion to visit at Silver Lake. Officer
Skubal testified that when he got there
the wreckage appeared to indicate that
Rohrers Ford had attempted to "climb
in under DilIs Chevrolet" 1t had par
TALLY succeeded in accomplishing this
feat and each car was wreck. Dill
sued Rohrer and Rohrer sued Dill.
Judge Schmidt has under alyisemcnt
the question of which one was to blame
for The crash.
The really aggrieved party was Ed
ward Witchcr who was a passenger in
the Ford and who testified that aside
from breaking his jaw and losing
eighteen teeth he was not badly hurt.
If precedents hold good the spectat-
ors can hear the case of Ford VS.. Chey-
rolct again in circuit court next month
on appeal

GEORGE WITS DONATES ORPHEUN

George Wits purchased the Orpheum
theater last Saturday and is to donate
it for the use of the American Legion
Boy Scouts and few similar pur-
poses. Mr.. Wits submitted the highest
bid Other bidders were said to be the
Rahr Sons company and Mr., Thielcn,
lessee of the premises.
Definite plans have not been made
for the use of the building but the pri-
mary thought in its acquisition was to
dedicate it to the use of the legion,
scouts and other civic and patriotic
purposes. In a general way it is the
present idea to remodel the basement
into club rooms and gymnasium. Ten
tative plans for management contem-
plate a board of three or five trustees
with the legion and scouts represented
The Orpheum is one of the old land
marks of the city, having been until
recent years known as the Turner
hall" 1t was established as a public
hall in 1874.
Mr.. Thiclen's lease expires Feb. l.
The title will be in Mr.. Nits's name un-
til definite plans are worked out for
the future.

AN APPEAL FOR AID

Fellow Americans; Suppose ther
was little child in the house next doc
starving 10 death, suffering from rick
Lets, scrofula, tuberculosis or other dis
eases, due to lack of milk and goo
! food. Also, without warm clothing
protect it's shriyeled, unfortunate, lit
|lc body.
Wouldn't you without question or
delay set about to save that child? You
would not rest another night until you
had done your utmost You would not
let that child die.
1t matters not that we must stretch
|om eyes over the seas where one mil
lion innocent little children Of Ger
|ma0y are pleading, Help us or we
perish" More than a million over the
normal death rate have already closed
their eyes, and countless more are
awaiting The grim call unless helped
|aud Chat at once
Hollow faces and shrunken bodies
are common. Most children are from
zone 20 five years behind in their
growth Those of eight years have not
reached the normal size of two and
.half Some are just learning to stand.
.It is surprising that life can exist.
Starvation and tuberculosis will not
wait
Who stops to ask regarding creed, or
frycc, or nationality when a little inno-
cent child is starving? Children are
Just children the world over and the
great American heart is big enough to
care for them all-precious and price
less things, the lives of little children.
My heart is deeply moved, and feel
Dhut everyone will be glad to help such
d noble cause Manitowoc county is
asked TO raise at least $4,000 Every
/ cent Of the money subscribed will go
Do the national headquarters in full.
The complete cost of the county cam
.p1gu win be paid for by few Mani
.owoc people.
Nll you give SIS, $40 or more? Small
/ |Icr amounts of SO and 81 or less help
aud show the right spirit. Give to your
ability but give Let us remember
those immortal words of Abraham Lin
colin, "wllh malice toward none and
charity for ALL" Every $40 contrib
ulcd will save one child.

RESTORE CHILDS SPENDiNGMONEY

Last Saturday a travelling man spied
a pocketbook on the sidewalk at Quay
and Eighth streets. There was moth
ing to prevent his pocketing the $40
that it contained but he wasn't that
kind of a travelling man. lie sought
out a policeman on the corner a block
south and turned over the find to Of
fcer Con IIealy. Not long after lit
tie girl came to the policeman and
with streaming eyes told of the dire
misfortune of the loss of her little for
tune 1t was too bad that the finder
was not there to see the joy that
chased despair from the Youngsters
face as the officer gave her back her
Christmas fund. 1t was worth a weeks
salary to the big hearted, efficient cop.
He had asked the finder for his card
and it deserves to be published 1t
read: "T. II. Mckenzie, Bay State
Milling Co, Wnona, Mimi"

ELECTION EXPENOl i URtS

The party county committees have
filed reports of collections and expen-
ditures as required by law.
The Socialists spent SI,0ll.5S in the
county and have cash balance of 23
cents.
The Democrats spent S430.24 and
have a deficit of "a cents.
The Republicans county committee
spent SS7s.l0, including deficit of
Sl3.lO. To the Republican list should
be added S2l9.2s spent by the Repub-
lican Women's organization, and
$3.50 expended by the Two Rivers
Republican committee, making total
of $1,14ssS for the winners.
From these reports one would con-
clude that no part of the Sl5,0O0,OOO
fund of which we heard so much from
the hustings few short months ago
trickled up this way. Mr.. Hayes doubt
less exercised good judgment in dis
bursting the fund where results were
supposed to be in doubt.
In justice to the Socialists it might
be said that the spending for their To-
cal candidates was all done by their
committee and that the individual can
didateS had little or no expense as com
pared to a couple of hundred at least
BY each candidate on the other tickets.
These amounts reported are only a
minor fraction of expenditures of cam
paigns some years back. Mr. Nolstead
is probaly responsible, in part at least,
for the diminishing size of the election
expenditures which the state corrupt
practices act, enacted eight or ten
years ago, was designed to accomplish
but which it did not effect appreciably
in these parts.
