VOLUME XLIII.-NO. 11. MISS SCHULTE WRITES HER FRIENDS. From Milan in The Land of Per petual Sun, HER TRIP THROUGH SWITZERLAND.; Tells Her Story in a Very Interesting | Manner WONDERS OF THAT BEAUTIFUL LAND. The Centerville Lady Expects to be in Rome to Witness Pomp and Ceremony on Christmas Day. Miss Helene Schulte, of Centerville, who is now in Milan Italy, writes the following letter to her friends, asking The Pilot to be her medium; “After a stay of six weeks in Muench en, at which place 1 made a few friends and felt quite homelike I left for farther south, stopping a few days at Liudau, an ancient village, an island in the Constance Lake, very interesting for its old buildings and narrow streets, some just wide enough to go through Then crossing the ake to Switzerland, I stop ped a few days at Zurich. A large city on the Zurich Lake, then farther on to the well known place Maria Einseideln up in the mountains, a beautiful loca tion. The church is the prettiest 1 ever entered, similar to those in M aench en hut much larger which improves the looks a great deal. The singing and music was grand, accompanied by an orchestra. “1 ve climbed the mountain Etzel where St. Minrad lived, on which spot is now a chapel. Then still higher to an outlook point, where a tine view oror the surrounding towns and the Alps were seen. 1 then concluded to make a farther trip through Switzer land, to ee the mountains and impor tant cities. 1 procured a ronnd trip tick et, good for fifteen days, and 1 went these last two weeks seeing this country, mountains of granite, the highest and most important rang* being fei at -e * . ot the sea. and covered with snow all the year round. “The most beautiful trip I found was on the lake of lower Constance from Lucerne to Fhielen and return having snowed a few days before. The moun tains half way up were tinted white over the green pine trees. On this trip I met Americans from Chicago on their way home, making a trip around the world. If any of your readers should ever visit Europe, don’t fail to visit Muencben, and get a round trip ticket through Switzerland good for all dir ections by land or water. The scene is most beautiful from Lucerne (o Bern and then return by the way of Inter-, laken by water and rail through the 1 most picturesque scene, along a valley ! and from the distance the white peaks ! extending over the Alps. Switzerland ■ is divided in three different languages, | German, French and Italian. Making | my tour down to Geneva, stopping a few hours at Lucerne which city is! built on three hills. From there tak' ing the boat on the Lake of Geneva. I inquired about the landing of the steamer. No one understood me. | Fortunately a young lady car r • up to; me saying in broken German: “Madam ! what can Ido for you ? I can talk aj little German, better English,” so I was j all right. We entertained ourself nicely while on board. “Lugand a noted city on the lino I stopped off, situated on the lake. In the narrow streets and arcades of tire inner town there is much that is quaint and picturesque to charm any visitor. The next day 1 went farther on through a lovely scene along the lake and moun tains until reaching Chiasso the bound ry line of Switzerland. The mountains out of sight and level land again appear ed It was dark when we reached Mil an, the largest city of Northern Italy. I I haye now told you a little of Switzer- 1 and, my own experience. I am now j on the grounds of Italy and expect to be i in Rome for Christmas and will extend my trip across the Mediterranean Sea to Egypt and Palastine through the winter. Will now close by wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.” THOSE WHO ARE INDISPOSED, Attorney Alexander has been suffer ing from the grip. * # * Joseph Wattawa, who has been ai;k, is recovering. * Mrs. Herman Spoentgen who resides on south Twelfth street is convalescing from a severe illness.

The cases have been pending for I several years and have been to the Su preme court three times, the court each j time deciding squarely in favor of the property holders. In 1890 the Chicago I & North-Western Railway company, i then known as the Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western Railway company, laid down a track on the above-named streets through the heart of the city, thus great ly decreasing the value of the abutting property. Soon after suits were started and the cases stubbornly fought. Tues day afternoon, however, the attorneys in the proceedings, Sedgwick. Sedgwick & Schmidt of this city and A. J. Schmitz of Milwaukee, acting for the property owners, and L. M. Hyzer of Milwaukee, the attorney of the railway, effected a settlement. The successful parties are Mrs. Anna Williams, Dr. John E.
