OBITUARY

On Wednesday, last week, Herman
Schmidt died suddenly at the home of
Cornelius Lechel, on North Sixth street,
where he had made his home of late
He was buried on Friday. He came
here from Waukesha county some years
ago and was employed as porter at the
Addison house, and for time at the
Williams house. He was kindly, in
offensive old gentleman, honestly doing
his daily work, but very easy with his
money and unheedful of laying up any
thing fer his future. During the war
he had been induced to purchase a few
Liberty bonds, and while at the Addi-
son house Mr.. William Krizanowski re-
tanned some of his wages and deposited
this in the Savings Bank in Schmidt's
name In order to secure this fund for
the old gentleman, Mr. Frank Kretche
pettioned the county court to have the
East Wisconsin Trustee company ap-
pointed as guardian to take care of
this fund.
His only known relatives are broth
er at Waukesha and a sister-in-law at
Pewaukee, and these were informed by
wire of his sudden death. They de-
clined to take charge of his funeral,
and the trustee company therefore un-
dertOok this function. The body was
removed to the Pfeffer undertaking
rooms where Rev. Keicher officiated, as
well as at the grave. The following
citizens, who had known and befriend-
ed the deceased during his life, volun-
teered as pall-bearers: William Kriza-
nowski, Frank Kretche, Joe f. Sladky,
Henry Tadych, c. f. Herzog and l.. w.
Ledvna. Flowers covered the caSket,
having been sent by Miss Lila Croll,
Miss Eta Sonsthagen, Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur PITT and Mr.. and Mrs. A. l..
Hougen. A plain tale of a plain life
and of a plain funeral, but withal
breathing a humane and Christian
spirit. ~

Manitowoc shipped more freight the
last three weeks than was shipped from
Milwaukee by all its lines. The steam
er Alva took the largest cargo of pack
age freight from this city last week
that ever left Wisconsin port. That
is saying a great deal for the Manito-
woe line. The people who saw no
benefit in the improvements made in
the Manitowoc harbor the last few
years should now look over the situa-
ton.

SENATOR SAYS PEOPLE
NEGLECT GOVERNMENT
Gradually Losing State Rights Be.
cause Of Apathy, King Tells
G.. u. Law Seniors.

The people of the country are not
taking any interest in the govern
ment and by their apathetic attitude
are gradually iosing their state
rights. Senator William II. King Of
Utah told the senior law class of
Georgetown University. at its annual
smoker last night in Wardman Park
Hotel. The states. he said, seem to
get anything they want and in re-
turn they have to give something,
which is their freedom. He recalled
the policy of Bismarck in welding the
German states into one power under
his command, which took away much
of the freedom of their Inhabitants.
The senator urged the students to
get out into small towns to begin
their practices and not stay in a
Washington government office. He
likened the influence of the lawyer in
