TO REMEDY AN
EXISTING EVIL
Congress Will Be Asked for an
Appropriation
FOR PURPOSE OF BUILDING SEA WALL
Unprotected lake Front Suffers From
Northeast Gale
LARGE AREA OF PROPERTY SUBMERGED
The City, Though Cognizant of the Injury,
Has Not Yet Taken the Subject in
Hand
The encroachment of Lake Michigan
upon some of the most valuable city
property of Manitowoc has become
such a menace during the past year that
a bill has been prepared by Congress
man James H. Davidson of this district,
asking an appropriation from congress
to successfully carry out a plan to rem
edy the evil. Thousands of dollars of
valuable land has been washed away in
the past ten years and property owners
who once possessed lots in the neigh
borhood where the encroachment was
the greatest, have seen their property
gradually submerged.
For the past year every effort has
been made to secure aid from the city
and the town of Manitowoc to build a
sea wall, and although the project has
been brought up innumerable times in
the city council, no definite action has
ever been taken. Asa hist, resort a map
was prepared, showing the great a
mount of damage done during the past
few years. This was sent to Congress
man Davidson with a result that con
gress will be asked to lend a hand.
It is claimed by some that the dam
age is caused by the construction of the
harbor breakwater and the extension
of the harbor piers, for the great volume
of water that rounds Two Rivers point
in northeast gales prevalent, especially
at this time of the year, vents its fury
upon the unprotected lake front portion
between this point and the harbor piers.
Daring these storms a continuous cur
rent flows along the bank and washes
away the property.
Several persons, owning lots along
the lake front where the lake has
washed away their property, are paying
taxes annually on property under
water.
EDWARD A. CONWAY
FORMERLY OF MANITOWOC
WINS IMPORTANT CASE
Edward A. Conway, of the law firm
of Timlin, Glicksman & Conway, for
merly of Manitowoc, has won a famous
case in court. Chas. Kirwan is also as
sociated in the office of Timlin, Glicks
man & Conway. The Civil court of
Duluth, Minn., last week rendered a
decision in favor of the plaintiff whom
Mr. Conway has represented in the long
drawn out litigation over the property
of Johann Mueller, who died not long
ago, leaving an I 60-acre tract in the
north valued at many thousands of
dollars. The case, which has been in
the courts for many months, was bitter
ly contested by several claimants to
the property and attracted wide at
tention.
Attorney Conway returned a few
weeks ago from Europe, where he went
to secure evidence which would firmly
establish the identity of the Duluth
Mueller and thus secure for the right
ful claimants in Austria he represented
the ownership of the property. He se
cured evidence proving conclusively
that the Detroit Mueller in no way re
sembled Johann Mueller and was an
entirely different person.
The case, while iu progress, has cost
the opposing forces nearly $30,000. Mr.
Conway said Saturday afternoon that
he did not believe that the defendants
would take an appeal, so conclusive
was the proof.

DEATH OF CLARA
SCHNEIDER REMOVES AN
EXCELLENT YOUNG WOMAN
Clara Schneider was born Jan 0,
1877, being 3(1 years of age at .he time
of her death. She bore her part in the
world's work filling with satisfaction
and credit the position of stenographer
in a large Milwaukee establishment,
until about a year and a half ago, when
•he resigned owing to failing health.
During last fall, she suffered an attack
of pleurisy from which she never fully
recovered.
In her early death the loss to family
ami friends is very great. To them she
stood for all that was beautiful and
symmetrical in character. As the rose
iu its sweet perfection appeals to the
heart of mankind, so did her personal
beauty and sweetness of disposition
affect the hearts of friends. A sad,
fragrant memory to those who mourn
today, she bloometh fair and strong in
the garden of God.
Interment took place Tuesday, the
Rev. S. R, S. Gray officiating. Regard
less of the intense cold, a large number
of friends including many from ihis
city attended.

“Hiurich's Glycerine cream.” It is the

DR. CURRENS OF
TWO RIVERS TO
ARGUE PROVISO
Dr. Currens, of Two Rivers, as presi
dent of the state Board of Medical Exam
iners, was at Madison to have the legis
lature insert a proviso in the law under
which the Iward was created that will
allow it to turn money into the state
treasury and afterwards draw it out
when a shortage occurs. Under the
present law the surplus must be turned
over at the end of the year, and is per
manently absorbed by the state. As an
instance of how the law works, Dr.
Currens says that two years ago the
board turned over SI,OOO to the state,
while last year unexpected contingen
cies absorbed so much money that the
board came out in debt, and he wants to
have the law changed so that in such
cases, the Iward can call on the state
for the amount of its surplus deposit.

NEW LIBRARY IS
NOW ASSURED
Council Passed Ordinance Making
Annual Appropriation
CARNEGIE'S GIFT MAY BE ENLARGED
From the $25,000 Promised by Further
Donation of $5,000
THE IIAMMERNICK SITE IS AGREED UPON
The Library Board has Absolute Power in
the Selection of a Location End
of the Subject
The city council passed an ordinance
last Friday appropriating $2500 annual
ly for the support of the library, which
action assures the gift of Andrew
Carnegie of $35,000 for the erection of a
building. The aldermen who voted
acted simply on the appropriation, the
question of site being left to the judg
ment of the Library board as provided
by the statutes.
The new library will be a very accept
able acquisition to the county as well as
to the city because the county residents
will have equal privileges with the city
people in getting all the advantages
which it offers.
The site for the library has practically
been chosen though not officially. The
library board has secured an option on
the Hamuieuick site, located at the junc
tion of Chicago and Eighth streets.
This is an admirable spot for the pur
pose. It is central and as easily reached
by the Houthside people us by the
Northside people. The ground will
cost SII,OOO but there will be saved from
salvage about SI,OOO, thus (lie net cost
of the site will Ih> about s*,ooo.
A number of arclntec ts are at work
on plans for the structure and these will
be submitted for inspection at an early
day.
It is understood that Mr. Carnegie
may increase b’*i gift of $ Jo, 000 to SOO,-
000, which if done will give* the city a
much liner building. The now build
iug will add very much to the architect
nsal beauty of the town.
