MANY LITTLE
TOTS HAPPY.
Reinhart i'alir Gives of His Abun
dance to Children.
FIFTY OF THEM REVEL IN LUXURY.
Christmas a Day Long to Be Re
membered.
DO JUSTICE TO FINE HOSPITALITY.
All Leave the Roof Bearing Some Token
of Very Happy Hours and of
Generous Thoughtfulness.
As is his wonted custom Reinhart
Rabr invited fifty little tots from the
city to spend tin ir Christmas eve.
with- Mrs. Rahr and himself as
hostess and host, and it is needless to
say that the generous hospitality which
characterized similar entertainments in
former years was manifest last night.
Mr, Rahr is never so happy as when
pouring out of his abundance substantial
pleasures into the lives of those who art
less enriched. He the worth of
charity which vaunteth not.
If Mr. Rahr has a penchant for do
ing good he is particularly felicitous in
his ministrations toward the little ones,
those atoms of humanity who cannot
help themselves, and so Tuesday night
surrounded by half a hundred yonng
sterswho were happy he was in the very
heyday of joy.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Rahr supplied the
children with all kinds of sweetmeats
and fruits and needless to say just ice
was done by the tots to the good things
provided. No one went away hungry
and no one passed out from under the
hospitable door without carrying a sub
stantial token of a very happy Christinas.
The entertainment took place at the
home of Reinhart and Mrs. Ruhr

ANTON JOHNSON
DIED SUDDENLY.
A Highly Respected Citizen Pass
es Away.
LEAVES A WORTHY RECORD.
Ilis Death is Very Much Deplored in
City.
WAS APPARENTLY IN ROBUST HEALTH.
The Funeral Took Place Last Tuesday After
noon—Many Beautiful Floral
Offerings.
It whs with unusual regret the citi
zens heard last Saturday ot the death of
Anton Johnson, at the age of 57 years.
Few persona who saw Mr. Johnson
several weeks ago would have believed
death was on his track. He looked
rugged, cheerful of disposition and
seemingly indifferent t > the severity of
the weather. When Mr. Johnson began
to complain to his friends that he was
feeling somewhat indisposed the
thought was that it was temporary and
nothing serious. This feeling of confi
dence in his health was increased when
he was seen on the streets last Thursday
week—a day full of bluster, the atmos
phere and wind being unkind to those
in robust health.
But death has taken this good man,
worthy citizen, indulgent father and
faithful husband, away. He leaves to
his family a legacy of good example, an
excellent name and an irreproachable
1 character. He was an admirable neigh
bor and a genial companion. He was
| free from guile and his life stood for
truth and integrity. Ho was born in
1844 at Larvig, Norway; he came to
America in 1871 and two years later
look up his home in this city. He was
a ship carpenter and followed the voca
tion for some time, later removing to
Branch where he established a general
store conducting the business until 1884.
In 1891 he engaged in the wood and
a) business here, retiring in 1890. He
( several limes been selected to
j responsible positions under the munici
pal government and at the time of his
death was harbor-master.
Besides a wife, seven children, four
sons John G., Charles B - , Alfred, and
Anton F. and three daughters Josephine
A., Hilda M. and Bertha survive to
mourn his loss.
The funeral took place on Tuesday
afternoon, the Rev. Mr. Thorsen officat
ing. Many beautiful floral tributes
were sent to the home in respect of his
memory.
MANITOWOC TEACHERS
GO TO MILWAUKEE TO
ATTEND CONVENTIOM.
Many Manitowoc teachers left this
morning to attend the annual meeting
of the Wisconsin Teachers’ Association,
which is being held in Milwaukee. The
all important question at large seems to
I>e whether the association should elect
a man for president who is in sympathy
with the book trust and who will furth
er the interests of that concern where
possible, or whether it should elect a
man who is opposed to the trust and be
lieves its influence is detrimental to the
welfare of the school system.
Karl Mat hie, superintendent id’ the
Wausau city schools, is being urged for
j the position of president by the teachers
who oppose the trust and the prospect
is very bright for his election.
The Milwaukee news of last Saturday
speaking of his election said:
“Karl Mathis’s strong and righteous
protest against book company influence
in the association have won for him
many friends, and they say it is time he
is accorded the position he desires, and
to which he is certainly entitled for re
ducing book company influence to a
minimum. Friends of Mr. Mathie say
they will support him through thick and
thin, and as the book company re pres
entatives will not bow easily to a vic
tory Mich as Mr. Mathio's election would
be over them, a good warm contest may
be expected.”

fleet to lay up with storage
coal together with the recent cold
spell caught many boats in theice,
is responsible for the decrease in
tonnage The fleet at Manitowoc

and the bulk of the boats came
to Manitowoc light, from HulTalo
