| ing to the great and good Father than
the day which has been so dedicated to
our mothers
The one who has done most to bring
out the best there Is in US, to develope
those finer elements of our nature, that
has given the world the refinement it
has, is mother. No man, however
learned or removed should permit the
spirit of his achievements to so poison
his mind, as to dull his sense of ever
increasing obligation to his mother who
gave him birth. No man in whatever
walk of life should allow the depress-
ing perpiexities or the enticing allure-
ments of his career to lessen his just
estimate fthe unsatisfied debt he owes
to his Mother.
1t is remarkable fact that almost
every man who has achieved something
worth while will tell you that he owes
it to the influence of his mother Some
times he can explain just how her train
Often, however, he cannot give you de-
tails--he can only state the fact
A great man when he was asked,
"Was your mother pretty shrewd "a
bout training you?" replied, "No! She
didn't train me she just loved me-"
That was enough. And it's enough
for any body.
You don't hsve to explain the tremen-
dous influence your mother has had on
your life. You can't explain it, anyhow.
Just accept it, thank God for it and put
it down as the biggest gift you have re-
ceived.
God thought to give to earth
the sweetest thing in His almighty
power,
So pondering deeply what it should be
for one thrice blessed hour,
In fondest love and JOY
outweighing every other,
He opened wide the gates of Heaven
and gave to earth a mother.

CITY COUNCIL NOTES
The council met in regular session
Monday evening.

r. G. Plumb made an oral report on
his trip to Washington where he repre-
sented the city at the Rivers and Har-
bors conference early this month. lie
organized the Wisconsin delegates ana
they in body laid before Senators La
Toilette and Lenroot and Representa-
tives Voigt, Lampert, and others, the
serious situation developing in Lake
Michigan harbors because of the un-
natural diversion of water by the ci'y
of Chicago. He mentioned other phases
of the work of the meeting and sald
that the St. Lawrence river deep
waterway is now up to Canada
The council adopted a .osolution
asking the governor and attorney gem
eral to push to an immediate conclu-
sion the suit brought to stop the in
creased flow of water from Lake Mich
igan into the drainage canal.
Some time ago the council proceeded
to authorize an issue of S250,00 addi-
tional high school bonds and the tax
roll carries $4,000 for the purpose of
paying interest and retiring the early
maturites. 1t now develops that the
state will not O. X. the bonds because
the resolution authorizing them did moi
specify where they were to be pay
able. 1t is too late to alter the tax
roll as all computations have been car
ried out on multiple found by in
Guiding this sum. There is no particu
lar harm done except delay.
Alderman Thorson said that he ha'
received several applications for tn
bridge tender job made vacant by tn
death of Mr.. Marquardt, but that ther
would be no hurry about making
recommendation.

About ~ o'clock on Tuesday night,
an alarm of fire was given, which, on
investigation was found to be the dwell
ing house of Mr.. George Edwards, sit
uated on the Two Rivers road, in the
town of Manitowoc. The building was,
with its contents, entirely consumed,
nothing of the slightest value being
saved, the inmates barely escaping with
their lives, having on nothing but their
night clothes. The fire is supposed to
be the act of an incendiary

given was that of the bell on the ole

the purchase of steam fire engine
and reservoirs of water, our city is wei
provided for in case of fire; they woul'
prove of but little use if a good alarm
is not given when the necessity TO
their services arise.
An alarm of fire was given on SAT
urday evening last, about O'Clock
which was occasioned by the burnin
