MILK PRICES REDUCED

Last week the Manitowoc County
Farmers Dairy company opened for
business with announcement that milk
per quart delivered would be nine
cents, and called for seeyn cents. The
milk dealers of the city who had some
months ago grudgingly reduced from
twelve cents t2 elrvcn cents for milk,
either delivered or carried away, fol
lowed with an announcement that they
had been contemplating reduction
and that they would meet the new
prices.
Consumers have felt for quite d while
that the retail prices of milk ia the city
were uniustifed but there was nothing
to do but pay the price demanded or
do without it, Drops from II to 9
cents delivered, ani from IL to cents
carried, are big reductions for the av-
erage man with youngsters who need
the milk. If the new rates are not so
low as to require increases to carry on,
the new farmers company deserves a
vote of thanks from a long suffering
public.

BASKET BALL

The Karstedt basketball team is still
unbeaten. They defeated the Mission
House team from Sheboygan county
Saturday night, IS to 10 The locals
were lucky to win at all as they did not
seem to be in top trim but the game
was fast and clean. The embryo par
sons were on their toes all the time and
threatening up to the last minute.
Next Saturday there will be triple
header; just two scout teams, then the
MantowoC militia team against the
Two Rivers state cavalry men and the
wind up viii be. the KarstedtS against
the Bright Spots of Milwaukee.
The fast Cato quintet went down to
defeat before the Nalders team at Caro
Saturday by score of As to %. The
Cato aggregation has been considered
among the fastest teams in the county
and the Nalders cagers must have been
getting the team work into clock like
precision to put over this score on
Cato's own floor.
At the Orpheum Saturday afternoon
the local high school five found no
difficulty in defeating the Menasha
High team, 81 to II. Forward Gau-
thier starred He made eight baskets

at the half IA to 9, and as the visitors
tired and slowed up in the second half
ran away from them.
Saturday of this week the Sheboygan

ONLY A GUN ON HIP

John Dassey, Commercial street
saloon keeper, if it is still correct to
call them saloons" was at dance
hall Saturday night, and getting into
some little trouble that required the in
terpositon of an officer it was discov-
cred that John was tOting his trustly
automatic on the hip. The cop relieved
him of the Big Bertha and took him
into custody. John escaped spending
the Sabbath in the hoosegow by putt
ing up $50 cash bail. By whom, where
and how this bail was determined our
veraciouS informant saith not. Any
way John was in municipal court Mon
day morning and in response to Judge
Schmidts inquiry as to- the necessity
for the artillery the prisoner at the bar
asserted that he felt justified in arming
himself thus because of the desperate
character of the neighborhood in which
he resides. The court mildly disillus-
ioned Mr.. Dassey as to his right to de
eide this question for himself and in
formed him that contribution of S25
and payment of the costs would be
about right and would settle the whole
matter. The puzzle in the whole affair
is where the gun toter got the notion
that Sixth and Commercial streets is a
second hells kitchin.

THE POST OFFICE APPOINTMENT 7

The local postofice appointment
seems to he still a live topic of specu-
lation among politicians. The belief
seems to be general that the recent
turnover in national politics not only
put all the Democratic aspirants into
the discard, but that the civil service
rules so far as they apply to first class
Offices, will be entirely ignored, and
that even Republicans on the recently
filed eligible list have no advantage
over Republicans who did not take the
Examination" This means that the
appointment may be, and probably will
be, purely political affair. Assuming
this to be true the insiders seem to be
sure that Simon Wehrwen, chairman
of the Republican county committee,
will land the plum. He would natur-
ally be the strongest candidate for the
position and he is said to have the
backing of Representative Lampert,
nut tncfc Is dnolnci dHBlt w tle Hldt-
ter. Mr.. Wehrwein and his county
committee used the official Republican
organization in this county in the re
cent campaign in a strenuous effort to
defeat the regular Republican candi-
date for United States senator, Irvine
Lenroot, and to elect La Follette's in
dependent candidate, James Thomp-
son. Mr.. Lenroot is Notwithstanding
still in the senate and may be able to
block, if not entirely prevent, CON
frmation of Mr.. Wehrwein in the sen
ate. One thing seems sure. The at

MARVELLOUS ESCAPE

Ed Mrotek, Kewaunee man with a
friend in a Ford roadster had lucky
escape from serious injury Saturday
evening. They turned from Washing
ton street south into Fourteenth and
were struck by another car coming
north The impact tossed the Ford
across the sidewalk to the Globe laun-
dry building. From there it carooned
off and struck a tree at the curb. The
two occupants when picked up didn't
appear to know what had happened
and soon came to, when it was dscov-
cred that neither had any serious in

PLANNED TO KILL BOY AND SELF

Mary Hrdina, aged 60, of Branch
was committed as insane in county
court Monday after she had confessed
that her attemp to purchase poison at
a drug store in the city was for the
purpose of securing the means of end
ing her own life and that of her IL
year-old nephew who was living with
her.
She was taken into custody upon
complaint of neighbors who had been
receiving letters threatening to burn
their buildings if money was not given
her, The boy stated in court that he
had written the letters at her dictation
The woman said: 81 intended to kill
Willie and myself because we will soon
starve anyway" She was clearly in
sane and the examining physicians so
reported

GETS TIME ANYWAY

John Flentje, who two weeks ago was
found mot guilty" of a serious felony
by jury in circuit court was up in
municipal court Tuesday. Before GO
ing to trial in circuit court on the more
serious charge, rape, he had pleaded
guilty in municipal court to lesser Of
fense of involving indecent liberties
with his two step-daughters then aged
about l3 and IL, The sentence in the
lower court was held in abeyance until
the result was determined in the more
serious matter in circuit court Hav-
ing been acquitted there he was up this
week to receive his sentence for the
lesser offense. There were, in fact,
pleas of guilty to two lesser offenses.
On one he received a sentence of one
year at the state penitentiary and on
the other a fine of 500.

OBITUARY

julie Nelson died last Thursday even
ing at his home at 709 st. Clair street
ending an illness of several years dura-
ton. Mr.. Nelson was born in this city
July 23, 1856, and has always made hil
home here. When he was twelve years
of age his father was drowned in the
wrecking of the Goodrich steamer Sea
bird on Lake Michigan, and in conse'
quence the boy was at an early age
thrown on his own resources His early
business training was in the banking
house of IT. c. Schove In 1878, in
partnership with his half-brother, j. f.
Plumb, he opened a small grocery at
| 2O7 North Eighth street. In a few
years the firm owned and managed two
big stores here, and stores at Appleton,
Green Bay, Algoma, Two Rivers, Stur-
geon Bay and Sheboygan. About twen-
ty-eight years ago the retail field was
abandoned and the foundations laid for
the big wholesale grocery house of the
Plumb & Nelson company of this city.
Mr.. Nelson was married in 1882 to
Carrie Martin The widow and five
children survive. The latter are George,
Edward, Dorothy and Kathryn of this
city and Mrs. George Fannon of Apple
ton. The funeral was held Sunday aft
croon from the home with interment
at Evergreen
Mr.. Nelson was above all a devoted
family man and an astute, successful
business man. The business he left be
hind is testimonial to his industry
and ability in the commercial field. De
spite an apparent self-sufFiciency and
desire to not mix socially with his fel-
lows he was not a mere business ma
chine From youth he enjoyed life in
his own quiet way In his younger days
he was an ardent sportsman and spent
many weeks yearly with gun, rod and
hounds lie always maintained hunt
ing lodges and all sportsmen outfits.
In later years, and until his fatal NAL
ady overcamc him and removed him
from all activities a few years ago, he
took delight in breeding and training
harness race horses, and he spent many
thousands of dollars having his trotters
campaigned over the state tracks, He
preferred the amateur racing game but
there was not enough of this to satisfy
the desire for the sport and so he sent
his stable around to the fairs
The person who knew him only cas-
ually would doubtless mistake his quiet
reserve for austerity, whereas it was a
natural modesty and shyness that hid a
warm heart and friendly, social spirit
This trait made him a semi-stranger to
people who had seen him all his life
and kept him from all the usual affila-
tions of political, fraternal and all
other social activities A good Ameri-
can citizen who went his own way and
performed his duty superbly without
demonstration has gone on ahead
