BULLET ACCIDENTALLY
STRIKES YOUNG GIRL
WHILE OUT WALKING.
While walking on the road in the
vicinity of the Rapids, Miss Anna
Halberg, school teacher, was shot in the
arm. It was about 7 o’clock in the
evening. Just who fired the bullet is
not known but the theory is it was an
accident. It is not supposed that any
one was malicions enough to fire at an
innocent girl, but instead someone was
recklessly shooting off a firearm and that
the bullet accidentally struck the young
lady.
Miss Halberg was not seriously
injured. She is 18 years old and is a
daughter of Jens Halberg, a Mishicot
farmer.

DOCTOR KEMPER
MAKES STATEMENT
Of His Position in the Mayoralty
Situation
HE NEVER MADE ANY MOVE TO GET
The Mayor’s Office But Was Requested
to Stand
HIS PLATFORM IF HE IS ELECTED
Other Men are Spoken for as Candidates
The Convention Takes Place on
Saturday
The Democratic convention for the
nomination of mayor and treasurer
meets this afternoon in the ity nail.
It should be a harmonious gathering.
The leading candidate, the one who has
been suggested as an admirable com
promise candidate, Dr. W. G. Kemper,
wishes The Pilot to make this an
nouncement for him couched iu his
own words.
“I am not seeking delegates, and will
not, and will only accept the nomina
tion of the office of mayor providing
that I am agreeable to both parties,
never sought the office and merely con
sented to stand, providing that my can
didacy would prevent any clash at the
{Kills.
“If elected to the office of mayor I
shall administer the affairs of the city
for the welfare of all the citizens, ir
respective of party affiliations, and 1
shall seek to do so according to the best
business methods, totally devoid of
political interference. If upon such a
platform the citizens wish me to have
the office with its responsibilities, I am
willing to assume the duties and dis
charge them, but in no other way.
“1 have been asked by persons what
party I would favor in appointments of
city officials. I have nniformely as
serted that I intend to lie fair all
around. And such a promise I will
keep. ”
It might lie said the doctor never
sought the office of mayor and he did
not consent to run until pressure was
brought upon him. As The Pilot has
said upon previous occasions, Dr.
Kemper is a high type of citizen, fully
worthy of the confidence of the com
munity, no matter what duty of a
public nature was intrusted to his
charge.
Henry Mulholland has been spoken
of as a candidate for the Democratic
nomination of mayor. He wishes The
Pilot to quote him as follows:
“I believe I am the logical candidate
of the Democratic party. lam not and
have not been around looking up de
legates. Tne only way I would accept
the nomination is as a compromise
candidate.
E. S. Schmitz has also been suggested
for the office. He is an excellent man.
Let us fit you np with glasses. We
know how and will save yon money.

IRELAND’S DAY

Landordism Struck a Blow Which
Will Kill it
NEW HOPE FOR PEACE AND SECURITY
Mas Dawned In the Land of Romance
And Heroes
THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT’S ADVANCES
Will Give a Full Grant of S6O 000,000
To Buy Out all the Landlords
Tenants to he Owners
It will interest Manitowoc persons of
Irish blood to know that one of the
most remarkable hills e'er introduced
into a legislature was presented before
the British parliament last, Wednesday
on behalf of the British government by
Irish Secretary Wyndham which pro
poses a free grant of $60,000,000 for the
purposes of the bill. A cablegram from
London says;
“The keen interest felt in this new
legislation, which, it iu hoped, will
promote peace and contentment in Ire
land, was evidenced by the crowded
house.
Mr. Wyndom, who was heartily
cheered when he arose to speak, an
nonneed at the outset that the govern
ment thought cash aid was necessary
for the fulfillment of the proposed
scheme, but it attached greater im
portance to the credit operation than to
the cash operation. He then unfolded
the old scheme which provides for ad
vances of money for the purchase of
land by the tenants. The advances
will Ixi in the shape of cash and not if
stock, but in order to enable the cash
to he raised anew stock is to he floated.
“It will bo called guaranteed 2J per
cent stock’ and will he unredeemable
for thirty years.
Mr. Wyndham doubted if $500,000,-
000 of the stock would be needed. It
will he issued at the rate of $25,000,-
000 yearly for the first three years and
afterwards possibly in larger sums. In
addition to this the government pro
posed a free grant of $(>0,000,000 to he
raised by addition to the stock, the in
terest and sinking fund of which will
he borne by the treasury and the maxi
mum annual charge of which will not
exceed $1,950,000.
“The bill provides that tenants shall
pay 3i per cent interest on loans from
the government, that untenanted farms
and grazing lands will be sold to
neighboring tenants and that three
commissioners will supervise the salt s.
“The advance to tenants are limited
to $2500 in the congested distric sand
SSOOO elsewhere. The hill will become
effective Novomlier I. Mr. Wyndham
said $750,000,000 could safely he ad
vanced on Irish land, hut he thought
the scheme would not involve $500,000,-
000.
“The Irish secretary explained that
while tlie maximum charge on (lie Eng
lish treasury would not exceed $1,975,
000 in a single year, the reduction in
the cost of the administration of Ire
land would amount to $1,250,000.

A LIVE TALK TO
COUNTY TEACHERS
Prof. Kellers Observations on the
Development of Education
AS APPLIED TO THE COINTV SCHOOLS
Given Before an Institute of Manitowoc
Pedigogues
INTEREST WAS AROUSED IN THE IDEAS
The Publication of this Paper Has Been Re
quested by Some of the Teachers
Some Excellent Suggestions
At an institute held last week in this
city Prin. Keller of the Northside high
school read a paper of great interest to
the upper forms of rural schools. The
first part of the paper appears and it will
be continued next week he says :
When first I considered the question
of what to present to this institute. I
thought of the subject, Industrial Work
in the Grades and the Rural Schools,
the absorbing question now before
educators, the result of the teaching
of the newer padagogy which is getting
away from the idea of developing the
mental activities purely as such and
which is aiming at a broader and
higher development the executive
ability of the will over these activities
in producing something material in
character which, viewed from a peda
gogical standpoint, serves as an index
or a test of the true status and relation
of these activities. However, I felt I
did not wish to tnkt* so much of your
time to discuss so general and broad a
subject and then, no doubt, you are
coming here to get something practical,
something you can take back to your
schools and at once apply or test, at
least. 1 came to this conclusion from
my own experience, fur, while I was
teaching in the rural school, when
hardly more than a boy, with little
experience, I usually felt, npon coming
away from a teachers' meeting or insti
tute, as the proverbial wise man of the
village expresses it, Preaehin’ is all
right, but livin' is another proposition.’
■'Bo, I shall take but a small part of
the general subject and label it science.
When you know that 1 emphasize the
Informing of experiments by the
student as well as by the teacher, yon
will readily see how this subject truly
belongs to industrial work, it at least
touches the fundamental principles in
the industrial education of the student
of the rural schools and to a large
extent of the city student. I shall state
first the aims which are to guide in
doing tiiis work, and then I shall show
how the experiments listed on the slips
handed to you are performed, giving
you also an idea of how this material
can Is* secured, of the expense connected
therewith, and how to put this xvork
into your programmes, which are. at
least iu the rural schisds, already very
much overcrowded if the school is of
any considerable size.
“The turns are : (a) This work should
stimulate an interest iu the natural
phenomena round alsmt the student
every day which are usually passed by
unobserved or. if seen at all, only
casually noticed.
(b) "Upon this interest, or rather
through it, the training of the power of
keen and thoughtful observation, which
observation acts reciprocally upon in
terest, creating more, for it creates an
appetite for more knowledge.
(c) “It leads him to seo the short
comings of his environment in fur
nishing him Information and thus a
natural avenue to books is created. In
