John C. Brandt, for many yearn a
resident of Manitowoc and a leading
businessman. died quite sudde , lou
Friday af term on of hemorrhage. His
health had been imj<aired for a year or
more, but he was a man of great strength
and only forty-five years of age, ho that
no immediate apprehension wan felt. A
few days before bin death he suffered a
hemorrhage, but it wan stopped, and
Thursday he was out again and attend
ing to business. It was hoped that noth
ing serious would result, but the day
following lie had another attack, which
proved fatal. Mr. Brandt was born in
Germany in 1855, but has lived in this
country practically all his life. He
came to Manitowoc many years ago,
and for a long time has conducted an
ice-business here. He was energetic
and careful, and handled his affairs with
success. He leaves surviving him a
widow and three children, his mother
and his brother William Brandt of the

CIRCUIT COURT.
Judge Clementson opened court yes
terday morning at half past eight o’clock.
There were few present in the court
room, as the jury were not ordered to
report until this afternoon at two o'clock,
j Attorneys from out of town in attend
ance were E. M. Hyzer, J L. O'Connor
and A. J. Schmitz of Milwaukee and F.
W. Dicke of Two Rivers. C. H. Welsh,
of Milwaukee, court reporter iu the first
judicial circuit, acted in t hat capacity
for Judge Clementson. As the present
session is merely an adjourned session
of our regular January term, the calen
dar was not called, but the judge went
through the cases that an 1 tobedisposed
of by him. Rotsol vs. Two Rivers Mfg.
Cos was announced as ready for trial as
soon as the jury appeared. In Horst vs.
Louis Kunz et al, A. J. Schmitz stated
that a settlement was pending. Piening
vs. Estate of George Pankratz will prob
ably le taken out of the county for trial,
unless the parties agree to submit the
issues to the court without a jury. In
Hubbard, administrator, vs. C. & N. W.
Ry. Cos., Messrs. Sedgwick for plaintiff
and Hyzer for defendant indulged in a
little sparring preliminary tosubmitting
the question of the statute of limitations
separate from the jury issue. Langen
hahu vs. Schroeder et al. was agreed to
lie tried by the court. Bischoff vs.
Knipfer was announced as ready for
jury trial. The railway condemnation
cases, twenty-two in number, were then
taken up. The first thirteen of them
came before the court on motions by the
railway company for leave to file amend
ed answers to the petitions, on the
ground that the lecision of the Supreme
Court in the Michael Knhl case had
changed the question at issue. Nash &
Nash and E. M. Hyzer appeared for the
railway company in support of the mo
tions, and G. G. Sedgwick, A. J. Schmitz
and J. L. O’Connor in opposition. The
court listened to argument from both
sides and took the matter under advise
ment.
Dit.A. N. Kittki.hkn, who is wellknown
hero where he practiced medicine for
some time, is getting into the ‘ inner
circles" in congress. Not that he has
bought him a seat in the senate, or any
thing of that kind, but his knowledge of
matters in the Cape Nome gold district
has l>een made useof in framing the new
civil government bill for Alaska. In the
debate on this bill on April 19, Senator
Stewart of Nevada, opposing the schemes
of some “claim-jumjK’rs,’’ read an affi
davit of Dr. Kittelson’s, and stated that
“Dr. Kittelsen is vouched for by sena
tors here as a gentleman of undoubted
veracity. He makes a short affidavit as
to the inception of these claims. He
was not a hundred miles, or two hun
dred miles away. He does not appear
here as a relator; he does not tell a lot
of sensational stories for which no one
can vouch. He does not implicate army
officers or anything of that kind. There
is no “caudal in his affidavit. It is the
truth from a man on the ground, lb*
does not tell a lot of roundabout stories
about military officers and such sensa
satioual stuff. He is not pleading In the
interest of jumpers.” Senator Sjssmer
of Whcousin supported Senator Stew
art's argument.

Almost everybody identified with
hike shipping awaits more or less anx
iously the animal appearance of the
“Little Red Book” the 1900 edition of
which has just come from the press of
the Marine Review Pub. Cos., Cleveland.
This book although crammed with val
uable information is of vest pocket size.
It contains a full list of vessels of the
great lakes, together with the name of
the master, engineer, and owner of each
vessel. The arrangement is such that
by simply knowing the name of a vessel,
one is enabled to find not only the names
of the officers and manager or owner,
but a list of the other vessels controlled
by the same interest. The value of the
hook as a work of reference is obvious.
It is extensively used by business houses
that furnish supplies to the vessels, as
well as by persons desiring to send out
circulars or other business communica
tions. In the edition just issued there
are listed more than 1.590 vessels. The
book sells for $ I
