The paper currencies of Europe,
in size and shape, differ materially
from those to which we Of the
United States are accustomed, the
notes being much broader and
shorter. They are in most cases
printed upon a fairly good quality
Of paper, from plates representing
a fairly high type of the engrav-
ers' art, and, in most cases, in
attractive and striking colors. In
certain cases the phraseology ap-
pearing on their face is printed in
several languages, especially those
in which the population of the
country issuing them includes sew
eral distinct races or languages.
In most cases the phraseology
as to the class of currency in which
the notes are to be redeemed is not
specific, though in a few instances
the term metallic money" is used
and in very limited number of
countries the term "gold" is used.

RAIL LINE PROMISED

Clement Smith, a Milwaukee capi-
talst, and head of the big Public Serv-
ice company that owns the High Falls
power and numerous city utilities
served thereby, and many other public
utilities in eastern Wisconsin, is also
president of the Wisconsin Southern
Railway company. AS such he an
nounced last week that the projected
line running from Madison and through
Columbus, Beaver Dam, Horizon, May
vile, Fond du Lac, Chiffon, Kiel, St.
Nazianz, Manitowoc, Mishicot, Tisch
Mills, Algoma to Sturgeon Bay will
surely be built. The company has
completed surveys for the line.
The things that do not appear to be
right about this route, when unex-
planned, are the attempt to include both
Chiffon and Kiel on the main line and
the omission of Kewaunee, which re-
ports say will have to connect at Casco
Junction. The press reports seem to
assume that this contemplated railroad
is a steam road and not an electric line
as had been generally presumed from
the fact that Mr.. Smiths companies
own several trolley lines and have
large sources of power both from water
power and steam stations. In either
event the line will be welcomed here as
a long desired means of getting to the
Kewaunee and Door county region
without tedious roundabout journey,
as well as connecting us directly with
st. Nazianz and Kiel, not to mention
the great convenience of direct connec-
tions with Fond du Lac and Madison.

WINTER BASEBALL

The first faint suggestions of 1923
baseball came last week. A meeting
will be held shortly after New Years
at Green Bay to lay preliminary plans
for the State League season Fran
chises are held now by Green Bay, APP
pleton, Manitowoc, Menasha and Mar
nette- Menominee. One, if not three,
more cities will probably be added Mr.,
J. f. Herzog is said to be not enthusi-
aStic about the local situation and ne
has offers to manage other teams. If
Manitowoc wants league ball some one
ought to start while the snow is here
and not in April A damper on the
local league game is the fact that our
traditional enemy and best drawing
card, Sheboygan, is in the rival Fox
River Valley league, evidently to stay,
and the two organizations pass each
other with averted eyes and brickbat
ready for action. The common sense
of it would be to have one strong eight
team league of the valley cities with
Manitowoc and Sheboygan added, a
fine compact circuit of good towns, but
there seems to be no chance with the
little magnates at war.

ATTACK ON WOMAN FRUSTRATED

Mrs. Frank Manlik was going home
from midnight service at St. Boniface
church Christmas eve when she was at
tackled by a man almost at her own
door on Twenty-second street between
Washington and Franklin streets. The
scoundrel attempted to stihe her cries
and threatened her with death If she
cried out or resisted. She fought him
and managed to get his hand off her
mouth and shrieked for aid Several
men hurried from Washington street
and the brute hurried away and could
not be found in the dark when the res
cuers tried to follow him. The de-
scriptions are, of course, meagre and
it is unlikely that he can be appre-
hended to get the punishment he merits
The city has been free from outrages
of this character for months up till
this occurrence.

CHRISTMAS

Manitowoc surely had Merry
Christmas. The city is prosperous
Merchants reported big business dur
ing the shopping season. The weather
was mild as late spring. There were
no unusual celebrations. The customary
church services were held. The young
folks away at school were home, and
the old home was visited by many who
now live elsewhere, so that happy fam
lily reunions were held at many fire.
side. The Elks, the two Aid societies,
and the Salvation Army, made their
annual distribution of material Christ
mas cheer to those needing it. There
were programs in the schools, and the
annual trees and dancing parties at the
Orpheum and New Opera house.
The orphan boys, fifty in number,
from ST. Mary's Home were guests of
the Elks' committee at the Capitol the
ater show in the afternoon and then
were taken to the Orpheum where they
were permitted to use the big tree the
Eagles had set up for their own use
and from which gifts were distributed.
The celebrations resulted in only one
old time over-indulgence that merited
police intervention and Judge Schmidt
turned him loose in the spirit of the
occasion.
The sale of Christmas seals in the
good health campaign was satisfactory
almost reaching that of the record sale
few years back. The total was ST.,
295.35 which is $l07.35 higher than a
year ago. One-half of the fund is for
the use Of the local anti-tuberculoSs
work. Mrs. w. f. Raetz had the heavy
work this year as chairman.

COLLEGE CHANGES HANDS

The Manitowoc Business College has
been sold by Prof l. d. Wood, the pro-
prietor and principal, to John Kieffer,
a former Manitowoc man who has been
in charge of the school since shortly
after the opening of the school this
past fall. When the school opens for
the winter term it will he under the
new management. Mrs Wood will
continue at the head of the shorthand
department for a time
Mr.. Keifer is said to be admirably
fitted for the position, having had not
only a collegiate and business educa-
ton, but experience in the teaching
field and a successful career in practi-
cal business.
The college was established thirty
three years ago and has been in its
present quarters since the Wood Block
was erected fifteen years ago. Prof.
Wood has been in charge for six years,
since the retirement of l.. n. Newland.
Prof and Mrs Wood have been ac-
tive in social affairs and in civic mat
ters, Mrs Wood particularly in music
circles and Prof. Wood in patriotic
war activities, having been in charge of
the four minute men, and ms President
of the Rotary club They plan to leave
the city next summer and they will be

POST OFFICE APPOINTMENT

There were messages from Washing
ton last week to the effect that Senator
Lenroot is going to distribute all pat
ronage in the districts of representa-
tives Beck, Noigt, John Nelson and
Lampert, and specifically that he is
going to name the postmaster at Mani
towoc. If the reason is that these are
La Toilette men it is not easy to un-
derstand why the list did not include
the entire eleven congressmen-elect, in
cluding Berger. OF course Stafford is
still sitting and making laws after be-
ing voted out, in our odd American
way.
If this is true about Lenroot being
the boss, and it appears to be, Mr.. Len
root will not only persist in his veto of
Representative Lampert's nominee for
local Office, Simon Wehrwein, but will
go further and make the selection him
self
We ventured the opinion six months
ago that the pretense that postmaSters
were still under civil service merit rules
was bit of hypocr,ry that reflected
no credit On those seeking to keep up
the sham. The recent Democratic adj
ministration in its last few years ap-
pointed large number of Republicans
to Offices of this kind in Wisconsin
under a strict application of civil serv-
ice rules, but the system quickly re-
turned to normalcy.

We are called upon, this week. to
record an event which has cast desoa-
tion and gloom upon the family of one
of our citizens, and which will also
serve as a warning to others. A couple
OF weeks ago, occasion was had to use
certain quality of sand to pack
around the furnaces to be used in
warming the new school building on
the north side. A desirable quality of
sand was found on the Park grounds
Immediately adjoining the school, and
a quantity was taken away, leaving the
excavation thereby made somewhat
exposed and attractive to the young
folks who attended the school, and who
Immediately proceeded to make an ar
tifcial cave. The sand was dry and
easily worked and in a comparatively
short time they succeeded in effecting
an excavation which measured six feet
in width. On Thursday night last they
had fire in it, and on Friday morning
also. They were repeatedly driven
away from the cave they had made by
the workmen employed about the place,
as it was deemed very unsafe, if not
absolutely dangerous. as the result
proved, but without avail, and, on last
Friday noon, three little fellows, who,
regardless of the repeated warnings,
entered the cave, and recommended
their laborS, when, without any warn
ing, about fifteen inches of the sand
which formed the roof of the cave fell
upon them The names of the boys
were BERTHE Edwards, son of Captain
j. l.. Edwards, Henry Edwards, his
brother, and Laubus LouSon. The lat
ter, being nearest the entrance, succeed
ed in freeing himself of the accumu-
lated sand, and assisted in releasing
Henry Edwards, who required some lit
tie time to recover from his partial
strangulation. Bertie Edwards, who
was farthest from the entrance. was
completely covered, and an alarm be
ing given, Mr.. w. A. Place and others
used every means in their power to dig
out the little fellow, and after short
time, succeeded, but life was extinct

STRANGER IN SAD STATE

The sheriff had in county court for
examination Tuesday a yeritable wild
man who was taken up in the woods
near Two Rivers. The poor fellow was
in pitiable condition He was ragged
and unkempt. He was plainly not fit
mentally to be at large. He does not
know his own name. He is about 40
years of age. Some information was
pieced out from his almost incoherent
chatter. 1t was gathered that he is a
Galician Pole and had not been long
over here, and it appears that his con-
dition is a matter of recent occurrence.
1t may be impossible to place him un-
less he RECEIVERS under treatment.

EMERGENCY FLEET CLAIMS

A case growing out of the building
of the Riyerview addition in the war
emergency was settled in Federal court
at Milwaukee last week when the local
Gas company agreed to pay S6,359 to
the United States government repre-
Sented by the Emergency Fleet cor
poration. The suit was on notes for
$4,000 given by the local company in
the making of improvement and exten-
sions in the new addition. The defend
ant Gas company as one Of its defenses
alleged that the notes were void as
they had never been approved by the
state railroad commission.
The Emergency Fleet corporation
still has a claim against the city of
Manitowoc growing out of the citys
aid in putting in modern Improvements
at Riverview. The city was under an
obligation to pay the government S44,-
500 for improvements and in paying
withheld $500 which is an estimate of
the cost of completing the work and
making changes agreed to. The gov
ernment has never admitted this liza
bility of $1,000 and periodically makes
demand on the city for payment, but
the city council has stood pat. The
city claims, in fact, that $4,000, in
stead of $500, should have been with
held. There is no present Indication OF
anything to bring the matter to head
but it probably will not go on this way
many more moons.
