Building operations in Manito voc
this season will exceed those of last year
though the building done in IS!W was by
no means inconsiderable. This is a sign
of prosperity on which there is no dis
count. The high price of material pre
vents still greater devevelopment in this
line.
The fire insurance agents of the city
are having a eat and parrot time of it
these days. The Northwestern National
threw in a bomb some time ago which
proved a bit demoralizing to trust pro
ceedings and*now some of the agents are
doing some slashing and are going to lie
disciplined.
THE Board of Trustees and theSnjier
inteudent of the Brown County Asylum
were in the city on Monday to inspect
the asylum at this place. The Manito
woc County Asylum has quite a reputa
tion throughout the state and the visit
ors from (ireen Bay were highly pleased
with what they saw.
Real estate is too high in Manito
woc. that is the real estate in business
sections and tie* more desirable locations
for residences, There are but few sales
made for this reason and building is
checked. A judicious system of assess
ing would aid greatly in mending mat
ters in this particular.
The Saturday edition of the Evening
Wisconsin had a cut of the Manitowoc
hart tor alsive Main street bridge show
ing the elevators. It was a good picture
and the writeup accompanying it was
also good though somewlcd brief. Mani
towoc is attracting a great deal of atten
tion from many quarters. If it could
only attract a little capital a great point
would Is* gained.
Local politics is very quiet in the city
though the spring election is not far off.
It may be the quiet preceding a storm,
thougK not much excitement is looked
for on local matters. Indeed, thus far.
there is but little interest even in the na
tional election. The work of tin* nation
al conventions can be forecast with cer
tainty and the prospect of a listless cam
paign appears likewise certain. People
are tired of politics.
The farmer who plans is the one who
succeeds these days. <)n Sunday last
Will Hahr went to Maple drove to se
cure Mu If foot piles. He asked Thom
as Watt to get them out for him. Mr.
Watt said you shall have them by
Thursday. Tomorrow well cut them,
on Tuesday we shall take them out and
on Wednesday we shall bring them to
Manitowoc ' And he executed what he
planned and jus I as he planned it.

WM RAHR SONS’ COMPANY CON
TEMPLATE!) CHANGES
Mr. ,T. T. Domfeld, and Mr.
Frank Gjesler, Consulting Engineer for
the GrtTland-Heiining Pneumatic Malt
ing Drum Manufufacturing Company
of Milwaukee, Wis. were in the city
Sunday, the guests of Mr. Reinhardt
Rahr, They came here for the purpose
of looking over the Malting Plant of
the William Rahr Suns’ Company with
the end in view of reconstructing and
remodeling the present Malt House into
a Pneumatic Plant, and they are now at
work making detailed plans for ic.ch a
reconstruction. The present plant is es
pecially well adapted for the change.
| Work will probably be begun in theear
i ]y spring nr just as soon as the company
has filled its malt contracts which Mr.
j Max Rahr recently made in the East,
j and which aggregate nearly a quarter
of a million bushels. The reconstructed
plant will be a very modern one, having
a daily capacity of 230 b bushels of bar
ley.
Mr. Louis Pits', of this city, is also at
work preparing plans and specifications
for the removal and reconstruction of
the old Citizen Elevator from its present
location near the river to the block of
The William Rahr Sous’ Company and
adjoining their present large elevator
“P.” This new elevator will he used
entirely as a receiving and cleaning ele
vator and will he equipped with the
latest barley cleaning and grading ma
chinery. This will ensure the very low
est cost in manufacture and shipping
and will make the plant of The William
Rahr Sons’ Company one of the finest in
the Lnited States. Mr. Reinhardt Ruhr
who is quite as familiar with all of the
large Euroiean malting and brewing
plants as he is with those in America,
says it is going to lie one of the finest
and best equipped plants in the world.
The new ice machine plant is also near
ing completion, and when it is finished
and in full ojieratiou the public will be
invited to inspect it.
DEATH OF MRS PHIPPH
Mrs. William Phipps of this city died
on Saturday last aged UOyears. She was
born in England in IHIO and was married
there. They came with their family to
Manitowoc in 1855. Mr. Phipps was a
skilled carpenter and found constant em
ployment in superintending the erection
of the better class of residences. The
couple enjoyed unusual domestic felicitj .
Their wants were amply provided for:
their children did well and their home
was pleasant in every particular. Mr.
Phipps died several years ago. .. Though
it was i sad separation, Mrs. Phipps bore
it vith fortitude. Increasing years did
iof destroy tiie sunniness of her disposi
tion and she took an uterost in r.ll the
higher affairs of life. Her faculties re
mained with her to the close of her life
and the old lady was n pleasant compan
ion even to the young. She did not grow
old in spirit and her children always re
ceived the welcome of a loving mother.
She leaves seven children, W. H. Phipps
of Hudson, Wis., Janies and George
Phipps of St. Paul. Minn., Charles Phipps
of California, Mrs. Thomas Robins* nand
Mrs, F. Richardson of this city and Mrs.
Wallace of California.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT NEWTON
Paul Hzukalski of Newton was killed
on Sunday last while on his way home
from church at Nnrdheini. He and his
wife were in a buggy. The harness, it
appears was rather small for the horse
and the hreastwtrap pressed on t he horse’s
windpipe. J ist west of the village of
Nordheini the road winds a little because
of a ravine, the road being on an em
bankment. At this place the horse be
gan to stumble on account of the pres
sure on his windpiiie, and went over the
embankment with the buggy. Mr. Szn
kalski was thrown out and fell on his
head, breaking his neck. His death was
[ instantaneous. His wife was also thrown
j out hut escaped with severe bruises. He
j was 55 years old and was father of Rev.
Sziikalski of Milwaukee.
THE MANITOWOC FREi; LI Hit ARY.
The Manitowoc Library was formally
opened on Tuesday. It was a prema
ture opening as matters were really not
in shape. Fortunately the rush for
books was not great and no inconveni

for 51) years or more the place lias had
no free public library, but all at once

EXPANSION IN NORTHERN WIB

The wise poor man who bought alarm
on easy payments, and the wise manu
facturer who erected a factory in North
icm Wisconsin a {few years ago, when
tine’s were not as prosperous as they are
now, are reaping their reward. North
ern Wisconsin is feeling expansion in
the truest sense of the word. Opportun
ities have not passed, by any means.
There are still thousands of acres of rich
hardwood timber lands awaiting the
settler as well as the manufacturer
which can be obtained at low figures
am' on easy terms. QooU roads, fine
school houses and other improvements
are increasing and civilization is pro
dressing. The plentitude of iron ore,
clay, kaolin, marl and limber lands sup
plies the wants of everybody.
Transportation Fmtmtiks
are unexcelled. The Wisconsin Central
