a machinist as well as an engineer and
he has work for the winter in a machine
shop in Ashland.
John Wanish of Cuoperstown was in
the city on Saturday. John says he
came to get a wee trifle of the prosperi
ty which lie understands is so thick that
one stumbles up against it daily, though
it always assumes some other form.
John Keith went down to Chicago last
week to lie present at a horse sale. He
doesn't want to buy a horse but he wants
to learn something about the animal. It
wouldn't lie out of [dace for Jule Lind
stedt, too. to leant the alphabet of horse
manship.
John L. Haney of Kewaunee has l>een
out in Nebraska for some time. While
there he sold 560 acres of land receiving
for it s27* per acre, the price aggregat
ing $15,800. This land was purchased
by the late Thomas Haney of this city
some years ago for $5 per acre
Mr and Mrs. Joseph Duvall were in
the city Thursday last. Jo strolled about
to meet his friends and made every one
whom he met jolly. He had a chip on
his shoulder though, for any man to
knock off who would not admit Kewau
nee's superior fitness for a harbor of ref
uge. The trouble is that after Jo left for
home every convert he made became a
backslider. He put in a few good words
for Senator Stebl tins' candidacy for the
govership while here.
Thk fog horn was in active service
yesterday.
Stephen Rkchcvci. is now traveling
for a Chicago firm.
The firm of Rechcygl and Sicker has
been disolved, Mr. Rechcygl retiring.
The officers of the Goodrich Transpor
tation Company were in the city yester
day.
The Society Norden will have a de
bate in the Norwegian Lutheran school
house this evening on the Boer war.
E. I. Lord, the agent of the Wilson
Transportation company, has been quite
seriously sick for some time, but is now
recovering.
Charles Roemek of Antigo. a for
mer Manitowoc boy has purchased an
interest in the business of J. C. Lewis
& Cos. and has been elected secretary of
the concern. Charley has lota of busi
ness in him.
FERDINAND Kaufman a brakeman on
the Chicago & Northwestern, fell off a
box car on Sunday lost at the yards in
this city and sprained both his thumbs*
He also sustained some injury in his
knee,but it is not serious. He will prob
ably lie able to resume work next week.
The Torrisom building has again been
leased by the jtostoftice department, at
an advance of s‘2(Kt j>er year. The price
paid heretofore was only SSOO, which
included lighting and heating, a gross
ly inadequate sum. There has been no
lease for the last few years, the de
partment running on as a tenant at will.
*
Congressman Da\ idson has written
parties in the city that the location ot
the free delivery route was intended to
be such as to give the beat possible ser
vice and to popularize the system. He
intimates that if the route is not satis
factory it may changed as the pur
pose is to please patrons. But they
should indicate by petition or otherwise
what would Is- the most satisfactory.
That is certainly good sense. It cannot
be expected that people unacquainted
with the county can act so as to meet all
conditions.
The Northern Grain Campany paid
in round numbers SH,OOO taxes this year,
and this without the annex being taxed
as that was built after May 1. And
still there are people who ask what lame
fit the elevators areT The payment of
this tax alone is an important item.
But what the city receives indirectly is
the main benefit. The number of boats
which winter here is due to the elevators.
The wintering of these l>oats here aids
materially in securing the location of
new industries here. The public spirit
of many of the citizens of Manitowoc
cost them considerable in securing these
elevators, but, of course, that goes for
nothing, g
“I THINK I would go crazy with pain
Were it not for (Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm," writes Mr. W. H. Stapleton. Her
minie, Pa. “1 have been afflicted with
rheumatism for several years and have
tried remedies without number, but Pain
Balm is the best medicine I have got hold
of.” One application relieves the pain.

ANOTHER PEA CAN
NING I VCTOKY.
Tlit* Schuette brothers, the family anil
not the proprit tors of the store, and other
members of the family, have completed
arrangements to g i into the pea canning
business. Preliminary work has been in
progress for some months but not until
Saturday last had matters assumed such
form as to make announcement proper
The capital stock is to be $50,000.
The location of the factory has not yet
been determined. At first it was thought
best to place it near the eledtric light
plant, and use electricity as a power, the
electric light plant having abundance of
it. Steam from the boilers could also is?
used. But some consideration is now
given the farm what was known as the
Shove farm as a desirable site. The
only question is that of water and an
artesian well would be necessary.
The company has not yet incorporated
but everything is progressing as rapidly
as if it were. Cans have been purchased
and seed pease. Contracts are being
made for land, and already 300 acres
have been secured, 160 being from one
farmer. The machinery lias been pur
chased and just as soon as a site is decid
ed upon work on the factory will lie be
gun. The factory proper will In* 50x130
feet. The size of tile warehouses has
not yet been determined. The capacity
of the factory will lie abonteqnal to that
of either of the other two plants here,
but will Ik? enlarged if the business war
rants. Everything is to be in readiness
for use this season.
When the factor}* is in operation about
100 bands will be employed in addition
to the pea pickers. The proprietors an
ticipate no trouble in procuring pea pick
ers and say the viners have solved the
question of fielij labor. Mr. JohnSchuet
te will soon leave for Detroit to engage
what is technically known as a process
or one skilled in the business of can
ning pease.
The [lease of Manitowoc are regarded
as the 1 K*st in the world. The field west
of the Mississippi has not vet been
worked much. Increase in the number
of [tea canning factories will chea[)eu
the product somewhat and thereby in
crease the consumption. Besides the
market will be extended.
The agricultural interests ofManitowoc
are rapidly coming to the front to the
mutual benefit of the city and country.
This additional pea canning factory and
the Pickle factory are important addi
tions to tiie city's industries and both are
directly beneficial to the farmers. If we
can only secure the boiler plate factory
a great deal will have lieen done in one
year.
GOLDEN WEDDING.
Mr. and Mrs, Michael Tanglier of New
ton celebrated their golden wedding yes
terday. The anniversary is on Saturday
next, hut owing to the inability of Rev.
Father Tanglier of Fond du Lao, their
son, to be present on that day. the date
was anticipated. High Mass was cele
brated in the Catholic church at Meeme,
Rev. Mr. Taugher officiating. The ser
mon was preached by Father Cosgrove,
the resident clergyman. Four clergy
men were in attendance.
Mr. Taugher is 72 years old and Mrs.
Taugher 68. She was Miss Newcomb
and they were married in Buffalo 50
years ago. he being then 32 and she 18.
They came to Wisconsin soon after their
marriage.
Mr. Tanglier is one of the most success
ful farmers in the county, and has filled
various local political positions, though
in no sense a politician. He has always
Ikh-ii a friend of popular education and
his children have all received a liberal
education. Father Taugher of Fond du
Lac and Dr. Tanglier of Wausau are
sons of the conple. They had in all 13
children. They have 34 grandchildren.
All the children were present on this
interesting occasion.
Mr. and Mrs. Taugher are vigerous
both physically and mentally. They
have led a quiet hut industrious life and
are highly regarded by all who know
them.
ENLARGEMENT.
C. & W. Frazier have let a contract to
Hans Danielson to remodel their two
buildings on York street. These build
ings are the Ready building which came
into the possession of the firm some
years ago. and the Odd Fellow building
which was purchased last year. This
gives the firm 50-foot front on York
street. The basement will be used for
storage and the second floor, leaving the
ground floor for a salesroom. A large
plate glass front will lie put in for the
two buildings. The building will be
ready for occupancy by July 1, that tie
ing the time the firms lease on the
Eighth street property’ expires. Should
the work Ik; completed before that time
the store will tie opened there at once.
Tins will make one of the largest fur
niture stores in the state and serves as
an indication of business moving on oth
er business streets a matter of expan
sion.

MANILA FAFERji.
Dr. Luhmunn is in receipt of two Ma
nila papers, evidently published by Am
ericans. as both contain considerable
American news, even going to some
length in giving an account of football
games played by the Wisconsin Univers
ity, though the pajiers bear the date of
December HO, IHW. They have excellent
advertising patronage. Theaters and
beer, particularly the American brand
of the latter, take considerable space.
Typographically the papers are quite ac
curately described by the announce
ment of a western yiajH r of the appear
ance of a competitor. It looks as shing
le nails were used for type and that the
impression was made by the foremrn's
sitting on the forms.
AMONG FARMERS
The number of jiea canning factories
in the country will make the viner be
used more than in the past. It is only a
question of time when the pea picker
will he snjierseded by the viner.
Reports from Winneehago county are
to the effect that the late severe cold has
destroyed the winter wheat in that local
ity. It is pretty hard to say whether
winter wheat or not before the
opening of spring.;
Northern Michigan as well as North
ern Wisconsin is turning its attention to
agricultural matters. Northern Michi
gan for many years furnished a splendid
market for the farmers of this section
for hay. oats, butter and beef. But the
indications now are that the Peninsula
will soon lie in a condition to supply all
its own agricultural needs.
EDUCATIONAL.
Henry Severin. formerly superintend
ent of schools of Calumet county, died
at San Francisco, California on Tuesday
of last week. His remains have been
brought to New Holstein for interment
Mr. Severin was well known to many
teachers of this county. He served as
superintendent for 12 years. He was a
man of sterling worth. He was more
solid than showy. He enjoyed the re
spect of every teacher in the state who
knew him.
Marathon county is pushing ahead
educationally. It was the first county
in the state t o take advantage of the law
providing for the establishment of a
training school for country teachers. The
school is proving to lie quite a success.
It is now interested in the movement in
augurated by Senator Stout and has or
ganized a traveling library for rural dis
triets. Twelve free traveling libraries
have lieen fitted out by the Ladies Liter
ary Club Marathon county lias reason
to be pleased with itself for the educa
tional progress it is making.
MARINE NEWS
With onr bay wholly clear of ice it
seems singular to hear of ice blockades
elsewhere.
The steamer Nyack which was held
fast in the ice on the opposite shore for
two days, lias reached Grand Haven.
The old revenue cutter the Andy John
son has been converted into a tow barge.
The transformation was made at De
troit.
The ice crusher Algomah is not having
first class luck in Green Bay. She lie
came disabled on Saturday last when
near Sturgeon Bay and it is supposed
she broke a shaft.
The westerly winds that prevailed
last week drove a lot of slush ice near
the Michigan shore and made it difficult
for boats to make these jsirts. The Pere
Marquette worked her way through suc
cessfully. The sea was so heavy during
portions of last week that her decks dip
ped under water.
COUNCIL NOTES.
The city council hail a meeting on
Monday night which was rather animat
ed. The gas question was put over for
action at the next meeting. An ordin
ance providing that the owners of build
ings which are to lie moved must fur
nish Isuuls to the amount SS(M) so as to
protect the city against any suit for
damages which might result because of
such moving, called forth quite a dis
cussion and a vehement expression of
opinion on the jiart of Alderman Kelley
who hail grown tired of dilatory tactics
and concluded to expedite matters by
talking quite plainly. Attorney Onstad
also put his fighting clothes on and was
mercilessly direct and sarcastic in an
swering objections. Alderman Blesch
waded in in the noiseless fashion pecu
liar to him, but a very effective way it
is, as one can judge from the casnalities.
Frank’s manner always suggests that he
is doing a kindness to the man he is dis
secting. Alderman Pohl and Hanson
took part in the melee.
Thk Ladies’ Aid (Society will have a
Cinch Party at George Bros. Hall on

THEH4BBOKOF REFUGE
The secretary of war lias transmitted
to the house the report of the engineers
who made a survey of the harbor at Ke
wannee with the view of locating a har
bor of refuge there. An outer harbor of
refuge there is considered impracticable.
The plan presented is for an inner har
bor of refuge, the piers to be extended
400 feet and a breakwater 000 feet in
length to be constructed, the total cost
of the improvements to be $380,000.
It is Congressman Davidson's idea that
a survey of the Manitowoc harbor l>e
made with a view of determining what
point on this shore is most available for
a harbor of refuge and to have the most
deserving selected.
