BASKET BALL

The belief that ManitowOc has a
regular basketball team was strength
ened when the Karstedt-Meyer team
deefated the fast Mathewsons of She
boygan, 27 to 10. 1t was a fine game
to observe. The teams played about
even in the first half, but in the second
half, with Stangel and Marshek cover
ing the chairmaker forwards Althen
and Levenhagen were tossing baskets,
Tomchek also starred. 1t was not a
walk-away but was clean-cut victory.
The visitors made no effort to hide
their Indignation at the rough treat
ment they claimed to have been sub
jected to the night before at Two
Rivers.
The next big game will be with the
Mission House quintet on Jan. %.
Next Saturday, Jan. 10, Company II,
with new lineup, will meet the
State Reformatory team of Green Bay
at the Orpheum.
Cato debated Whitelaw at White
law Sunday night, coming in under
wraps to a score of SO to 10, The
Cato boys displayed team work, the
result of practice. Next Sunday Cato
will try to turn the tables on Reeds
vile at Mangin's hall at Grimms,
Menasha and Mantowoc played each
other to a standstill at Menasha last
Friday evening and Menasha won, IA
to IL, by shooting basket just before
the final whistle. 1t was a game of
fast, clean basketball by evenly match
ed teams. The ManitowOc boys played
good basketball, but if any special
mention is justified it should be of the
star work of Gauthier and Stangel.

LOCAL DlSTlLLeRY RAIDEO

Federal prohibition officers accom-
panied by Capt. Dueno of the local po-
lice swooped down on private still
of John Pribek on North Twentieth
street last Saturday and captured a
fine distilling outfit in operation and
also caught Pribek in the act of pre-
pairing a new mixture for diStillation.
rhe equipment consisted of heavy
copper boiler, necessary coils and all
other convenient attachments and was
a first class outfit, evidently made by
an old hand and intended for use for
a considerable time.
The raid came about through the
sale by Pribek of three gallon jug
of his product. The three men with
a Jug in burlap attracted the atten-
ton of Officers Skubal and, Douglas
last Friday night. When they noticed
that they were under observation they
tried to break the jug but were taken
into custody before they succeeded.
They were taken to Jail and federal
prohibition officers were notified. From
the information the three gave the raid
on Pribek's place was decided on with
the result that the source of the booze
was located.

IN MUNICIPAL COURT

Last week Judge Schmidt decided
the case tried three weeks ago grow
ing out of the collision between the
automobiles of Ernst Dill and S. NJ.
Rohrer at Twenty-sixth street and
Calumet road last Labor day. The
court decided in favor of Dill and gave
him judgment for 1894 and the costs
of the action.
John Baetka was employed by Zan-
nacher & Sons. In the course of the
employment Herb Zannacher had oc-
casion to give the employe some in
structions. The employe took this as
an affront and following heated Ian
guage on both sides the employe at
tempted to sieze the employer by the
throat with the evident intention of
inaicting punishment by arresting, at
least temporarily, the employers res
piration. He failed, and either the
attempt or the failure cost John SIS
and costs last Friday.

PAVING AND STREET CAR TRACKS

The brick paving along the traction
company's rails on Washington street
is in bad way. At places it has come
up to an extent to make it source of
real danger to traffic. The old ques-
ton, of the liability of the traction
company to keep it in repair is likely
to be again pertinent. Aside from
the legal aspects there is an element
here that does not enter when assess
ing a part of the cost of the original
paving to the company is being con-
sidered.
1t is undeniable that the present
state of dsrepair is due entirely to the
presence of the company's track. Brick
pavement along steam or street rail-
way rails almost invariably breaks
from the bases and protrudes above
the street level, necessitating relaying
The old pavement on Quay street west
of Eighth street is good illustration
Why the city should defray the cost of
repairs caused entirely by the tracks
of the company would be hard to ex-
plain to the ordinary enquiring tax
payer.

MORE ABOUT HOTEL

The mountain has been laboring for
a long time and the result was not a
mouse but a regular metropolitan
hotel, on paper. 1t was given out
Tuesday that the deal for the trans
fer of the Manitou hotel and adioin-
ing properties has been closed and
that new hotel for Manitowoc is an
assured thing The information is
that the new building will, as hereto
fore given out, occupy all the space
south of the Manitou to Franklin
street, excepting the site of the two
brick millinery buildings facing Eighth
street. 1t will take in the Uek and
Reinken stores at the northeast corner
of Franklin and Eighth streets. The
promoters say that over half of a
100000 bond issue has been placed,
over 100000 of it here in the city
and that there is now nothing to delay
the beginning of construction in the
spring.

FALSE MARINE RUMOR

Last week there we're two important
items of news, the second one can
ceiling the first, but together furnish
ing two interesting items of public in
formation. The first on "Wednesday
was that the Ann Arbor carferry No.
s had been lost. The next day there
was the equally startling information
that the boat was not lost, and had
not even been mislaid, but was rum
ming its schedule without knowing APP
parently that it ought to be at the bot
tom of Lake Michigan. 1t is a strange
trait In human nature that starts these
groundless rumors of calamities that
cruelty bring chill to the hearts OF
the many families and friends of the
supposed victims.

CITY SCHOOL AFFAIRS

At meeting of the city board of
education held last Thursday evening
it was decided to build an eight room
addition to the Cleveland school in the
Seventh ward. The crowded condi-
tions of this school and oft Gar
field school at Clark and Twentieth
streets and the Jefferson school on
Division street demand immediate adj
dition to the school space. 1t is plan
ned to start work in the. spring and to
include the necessary bond issue in the
issue of bonds fer the first pnit of the
high school,
The new addition will give the
Cleveland school twelve rooms. In ad-
dition to grade rooms, nurse room and
gymnasium there will be room for
backward children.
The board of education is backing
some legislation which will be intro
duced in the legislature which con-
venes this week. The principal new
ideas of general interest in these pro-
posed bills are those taking school
bonds out of the per cent limitation,
which cannot. be Done for cities proper
without a constitutional amendment.
hut which probabl.r ean be effected by
operating through joint districts and
the movement to take the fixing of the
amount of money to be raised by taxa
ton for city school purposes out of
the control of city councils and vest it
in the city boards of education.
