CITY HALL SITE ON
ITS LOCATION,
The old controversy between the north
,nd south sides of the river has sprung
.p in the question of choosing the city
all site. Alderman Blesch made a (Li
berate fight against the sites reported
sported at the council meeting, which
re located on the South side of the riv
r. He said that the North side was
fithont any public building except the
ostoftice and library, and he argued
bat the North siders did not want to
slinquish their right to the library
.n informal ballot was taken on the
arious sites reported, but no decision
ras arrived at and the matter was laid
ver until next week.
Attorney Edwin (4. Nah appeared
efore the council and asked that an or
inance which he submitted granting a
•anchise to build and operate a street
lilway might be referred to a cor unt
ie. The ordinance is asked by Thomas
tiggins of Neenah, together with some
ther parties not named. Mr. Nash as
ired the aldermen that he appeared in
nod faith and it was the intention of
tr. Higgins to build the road. The or
inance submitted will be printed and
istributed among the aldermen and it
likely lief ore its passage it will be en
roly transformed.
Mr. Nash said that he thought it was
[r. Higgins’ intention to operate the
>ad by electricity.
THE MANITOWOC PILOT.
THE WRONG MR. SCHMITZ.
It Was Not A. J. the Republicans W anted to
Hear talk, but Albert==An Episode in the
Convention W hich Caused a tumult.
A number of Democrats were spectat
ors at tin* Republican convention held
in thin city last Saturday. Among the
conspicuous ones was A. J. Schmitz, of
AHlwaukee. formerly of Manitowoc.
The fact that Mr. Schmitz was present
added something of interest to the pro
ceedings in the minds of some of the
Republicans in attendance Xo one. of
course, will accuse Mr. Schmitz of lean
ing toward the Republican side of u di
tics. If there ever was a Democrat cut
absolutely to party lines Mr. Schmitz is
that man.
The convention had been rattling
along uc the usual Republican gait,
which was evidently slow according to
the thinking of August Kuehm, a dele
gate. During a lull in the proceedings,
he spotted Mr. Schmitz, sitting away
back in the auditorium, and quicker
than a flash the thought came to him
that the convention could be consider
ably enlivened if Mr. Schmitz would
make a speech. Xo sooner had the
thought taken lodgment in the mind of
Kuehm than he arose and in measured
tones he said:
OUTAGAMIE COUNTY
IS DEMOCRATIC BY A
MAJORITY OF 1500,
A prominent (jutagamie county poli
tician (Mine to the city last Sunday to
see the Appleton base ball team defeated
by the Manitowocs. In referring to the
political condition in the Eighth Con
gressional district, Mr. Minor's district
he ~-erted that it would certainly go
iotjui lade, ii’’ nicvue the leulal’lt Inal
Outagamie county alone, which previ
ously gave Mr. Minor a majoiity, would
this vear give the Democratic candidate,
whoever In* be, at least a majority of
1500 votes.
FORGOT MR, LA FOLLETTE.
H. (i. Kress, However, Corrects Reso
lution Committee’s Ommission
lu the Republican convention which
was held in this city on Saturday the
most notable incident was the work of
the Resolution committee, which faih and
to bring in an endorsement of the caudi
I. icv of Robert M. La Follette. This
ommission was quickly noticed by H.
<i. Kress, who subsequently moved that
the convention endorse Mr La toilette s
candidacy. This was done amid enthus
iasm. Those composing the Resolution
committee were: E. L. Kelley, Em l . l
Baenseh and Mr. Raneber. The resolu
tion as amended reads as follows:
The Republicans of tilt’ First Assembly dis
tri' tof Manitowo" o unity assembleil hereby
point with i ride to the full j* rtormnnee of all
the promises made by the Rep ibliesn party in

W. .1. Bryan is Notified.
William J. Bryan was notified of his
nomination yesterday for the office of
president. His speech of acceptance
was devoted to anti-imperialism.
'Mr. Chairman, this convention is
honored by the presence of Mr. Adolph
Schmitz, of Milwaukee, and I move that
we low extend to him five minutes
time to address the members.”
The suggestion of Mr. Kuehm was im
mediately derisively howled down.
From every part of the hall came “no!
no 1 no!” The name of Mr. Schmitz
seemed like dropping a thunderbolt
among the delegates, so absolutely scar
ed were they that the Milwaukee lawyer
would take advantage of the request and
give the five minutes talk. It was some
little time afterwards that order was
restored and when Mr. Kuehm regained
his composure, and acting on the advice
of a near neighbor he arose once again
explained that it was a mistake of his
when he called on Mr. Schmitz to ad
dress the delegates what he had meant
to say was that Albert Schmidt should
be allowed five minutes to make the ad-
This explanation was accepted and
Albert Schmidt's eloquence was soon
flowing in great streams, much to
the satisfaction of a large number in the
room.
CONSOLIDATING GERMAN
CATHOLIC SOCIETIES
OF THE STATE.
Representatives of in the neighbor
hood of l.Vt German Catholic young
men's societies, connected with the
various German congregations through
out the state, met in the school hall of
the Bt. Joseph's church on Cherry and
Eleventh street? Milwaukee, and de-
I cidea to affiliate with the German
I Centrum society’. A constitution was
adopted similar to that of the Central
society.
j The convention was held in accord
j ance with a resolution adopted at the
| meeting of German Catholic such lies in
| Fond dn Lac recently, when the ques-
I tion of affiliating the young men's so
| cieties with the Central society, which
is composed largely of the older mem
bers of the churches, was discussed.
Heretofore, while every German Catho
lic parish has its young men's society
1 there has been no organization ea -It 1 f
the societies acting Independent of the
other, although the purposes and aims
i were identical. While the feeling at
Fond du Lite was favorable toward]
organization and consolidation, n
I action was taken beyond the determin
ation to hold the convention which took
place in Si. Joseph's church to-day.
It is hoped by the consolidation to cre
ate’it more gi neral interest in the work
of the societies and result in tin increast and
membership. In addition to the re
ligions work that the societies undertake
the purpose is to strenghteu the paro
chial school, it was explained, and to
perpetuate the German language.
DID A METEOR
STRIKE THE ROUE OE
NORTH SIDE SCHOOL?
It looks very’much like if a meteor
struck the smith gable of the North Side
High school within the .past week or
two. A great hole has been made in
tin* roof it ml the hard substance, what
ever it was. that penetrated it, also
passed through the ceiling into one of
the school rooms.
The members of the , cltuol board vis
ited the school hot/se this af term ton, but
none of them seem to be certain as to
what caused the hole though the opin
ion is prevalent that it was tin atmos
pheric bolt of some kind.
It doesn't look its if it was vandalism.
