Thus spoke the radiant soul of
thirteen-year-oId girl while jour
neying from a home in one big city
to a new anticipated home IN the
metropolis OF the world.
1t was the dramatic recital OF a
charming young life at her best and
at a moment Of imagined ecstasy-
a restless young dreamer nuttering
between childhood and womanhood.
At this period OF transition one
year in the open country under ideal
guardianship and with all those
fairy dreams made real in her eager
young life-one year of this would
probably contribute more toward a
happy career for this sprightiy girl
than any year in the best formal
school can possibly offer her.
And, just now, to the dramatic

great sufferer. Death resulted from
scerosis of the liver.
Mr.. Moore was son of Ephraim

his life. On Nov. %, 1875, he married

bought the sO-called Sparks place in
South Newfane and lived there alone I'M

MILK PRICE HERE FAIR

The state marketing division gave
out new figures on milk prices that
should interest all three parties, pro-
ducer, dealer and consumer. 1t is
somewhat surprising to see range of
from s cents per quart to l3 cents per
quart in the retail price of milk in
cities no further apart than WauSau
and SUPERIOR. The price paid to the
producer, meaning the owner of the
COWS that actually produce, shows even
greater variations even when only a
dozen or so of the larger cities of the
state are considered Manitowoc is not
far from the average although most
cities appear to he charging more than
our city's 9 cents per quart.
The following table shows in the
first column the price paid to the far
mer per hundred weight and in the
second the price charged to the CON
sumner, in eleven of the larger towns:

PHONE RATES HEARING

There was hearing on the petition
of the Wisconsin Telephone company
for an increase in local rates before
Mr. Trumbull ofthe state railroad com
mission at the city hall yesterday. 1t
was a tame affair. Besides city Off
cials and witnesses but four citizens
were interested enough to attend the
hearing. City Attorney Teitgen in op-
position to the petition called Walter
Staeffler, accountant of the city utili-
ties commission, and Charles Hampkr,
of a county local telephone line, to tes-
tify as to changes in the costs of re-
producing the telephone lines. Mr..
Staeffler said the utility costs were
about the same as last year while Mr..
Hampke said that costs of construc-
ton had been materially reduced since
last year The city also called p. j.
Shea, the telephone company's local
but the testimony elected
from him did not seem to be impOr-
tant. The hearing lasted about two
hours.
The company was represented by a
Milwaukee lawyer. As the question of
justification of the demand for the new
rates rests on a determination of the
ratio bcwecn net earnings and the value
of the plant, Including some intangible
elements of value, and as each of these
two main elements involves many ques-
tions of accounting and structural en-
ginecring it may he seen that the sur
face of the problem was not scratched
at this hearing. But all in all the com
mission can probably make as fair
decision on mere appearance of an
lasting an hour or two, as
it can on a two weeks taking of con
aictug testimony and consequently, it
is probably Just as well to let things
go this way. In former decisions on
Manitowoc utility matters the commis-
siou's decisions were usually about
what their own engineers gave them
regardless of what the experts of the
two adverse parties offered in the line
of figures and opinions.

MORE ON CITY CASE

Judge Kirwan in circuit court last
Saturday heard arguments upon the
motion of City Atty. Teitgen to reduce
the costs as taxed by the clerk of court
over the city attorneys objections. The
objections were very numerous but all
but six were abandoned in court OF
these six objections four were disal-
lowed and two were allowed in part,
but one allowed in part was a sustain
ing of the city attorneys main con-
tention over the taxation that too
many days attendance as witnesses
had been allowed to Rappel company's
officers. The court reduced this allow
ance by a total of thirty days which at
the new rate of $3.50 per day cut
down the costs allowed to the Rappel
company by S75 There was further
small reduction in the disbursement al
lowed for commissioners fee in taking
a deposition. The two motions of the
city attorney for judgment, filed after
the courts decision upon the former
motions after verdict had been fled,
were taken up by consent without no
tice, argued briefly and both denied by
the court, at once as nothing new was
sought to be raised. This clears up
everything pending in the case and
leaves the city now the alternative of
paying the judgment of $4,000 or ap-
pealng to the supreme court.

HALF DRESSED GIRL MOlESTER

Four times in the two weeks ending
last Saturday night girls have been
molcSted and annoyed at the same
place under almost unbelievable cir
cumstances On the first occasion some
girls going along Eighth street in the
evening were accoSted by man who
stepped out Of the dark shrubbery at
the Rhinchart Rahr home at Park
street The girls were believed to he
hysterical when they asserted that the
man was in underwear A thorough
search failed to show any trace of him
The same thing happened twice more,
at the same place, each time after the
watching had been relaxed and the
frightened young women asserted that
the man was partially disrobed. To
cap the climax a man in a union suit
Of underwear jumped out of this
shrubbcry early in the evening, before
8 o'clock, last Saturday right into the
midst of five young women and grab
bed one of them. Their shrieks brought
help and the man released the girl and
disappeared. The group were all
nearly in faint and could not help
much for some time and again no
trace could he found.
How a man in underwear could cs-
cape from that neighborhood at that
hour on Saturday evening is surely a
riddle, and second one is the motive
of such absurd conduct as attacking a
large group at such a time and place,
so garbed 1t points to somnabulism
or insanity, the former of which is
hardly tcnablc. The thing should he
solved if possible to prevent girls hav-
ing horror of the place for many
months.
A pccping Tom was reported to the
police several nights on North Seventh
street last week. Buckshot is what this
