Prejudice Often Bars Cure Prejudice instilled by old-time cus toiiH and ideas of those content with the ordinary methods of treatment that have been supplanted by modern, suc cessful scientific measures, is often re sponsible for delay and the prevention of cure. Those of our citizens and neighbors who have been cured by the scientific treatment given by Dr. Turbin of Chi cago. are astonished that they allowed themselves to lie so long dissuaded from taking advantage of his skill. Dr. Tnrbiu is master of abdominal, pelvic, genito urinary and all chronic, nervous and special disease 5 of both sexes. All who availed themselves of his skill have found in the doctor the tine qualities of advanced science and the attributes of courtesy which entitle him to the respect and confidence of the community. It is to the advantage of every chronic sufferer to consult the doctor, because his exceptional diagnostic ability en ables him to point out the source of cure in many cases which have baffled others of his profes.-ion. Incurable cases the doctor does not accept for treatment, but many hundreds of suf ferers pronounced hopelessly incurable by other physicians, have been restored to perfect health by Dr. Turbin. The trickery of an army of medical sharks is so common that the motives of a worthy and capable man are a source of gratification and the doctor has certainly gained the esteem of the people in this section of the state and he may be consulted with the same degree of assurance and confidence as the regular family attendant. Consul tation is free. Dr. Turbin will lie in Manitowoc, Friday, April 34 at the Williams House. Notice All persons indebted to Dr. R. K. Paine are requested to come and settle their accounts at once, at the office 210 North Eighth St. Office ojien during day. Does Your Horse Cough.

WARM PRAISE FROM A DEMOCRAT Writes Letter to The Pilot En* dorsing Anti-Trust Policy AS ANNOUNCED BY PRESIDENT Takes Exception to an Editorial Appearing in This Paper SHOULD WATCH AND AWAIT RESULTS Think AH The Trusts Will Be Killed By The Vigorous Use of Sherman Law Asa comment on an editorial printed in the Manitowoc Pilot the following communication is sent to the inier by W. C. Sieker, of Milwaukee. Editor ok Pilot: “In an editorial on the president’s Milwaukee siieech you take occasion to criticize the position of the president in regard to trusts. I fear that you are unduly prejudiced. You appear to lose sight of the fact that the Sherman anti trust law which had bean a dead letter from its enactment in 1889 until a short time ago is at present being enforced by President Roosevelt as vigorously and rigorously as he enforced the exise laws in New York, “The action taken by Attorney Gener al Knox at the instance of the president has resulted In the dissolution of the Beef and Salt Trusts and the pool of the Southern railroads. Only a few (lays ago the United States Court of Appeals at St. Paul permanently enjoined the Northern Securities company from mergering the interests of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific rail n iads. ‘ In consequence of the strenuous efforts of the president and despite the council of the party leaders not to attempt any important legislation during the short session, the congress that just closed its labors, enacted some far reaching mea sures not the least important is the president's anti trust rebate measure and the $500,000 appropriation to en force it. In his Milwaukee sieech the president asked the people to await re sults. Before passing judgement, let us give the administration pportuuiry to enforce the law. “The work of President Roosevelt, from the moment he entered public life has at all times been characterized by his honesty and bravery in meeting is sues and conditions The president to day seems to be the same man that he was when jxilice commissioner of New York. He is still governed by the same well grounded convictions, by the same highly developed sense of right and wrong. The pressure of corporate wealth is of no avail if right is on its side. The people, the welfare of all the people, is his chief concern, and hence consistently he cannot and is not the enemy of wealth as such. It is the abuse of wealth he is fighting so fearlessly. For this Wall Street and Wall Street interests everywhere hate him.” LIBRARY MANAGE MEN! SEEK THE GIFT OF OLD MAGAZINES “Citizens having magazines, either odd numbers or sets, which they wish to dispose of, will find the public library grateful for all such gifts. They are used there, in the first place, to com plete our sets, next to exchange dupli cates witli other libraries of the state thereby securing additions for our own library, and the residue is then sent to the traveling libraries, the lumber camps, the jails, or asylums, wherever they may be most needed. “Children’s periodicals, especially Ht.

COMMITTEE ON THE COURT HOUSE WENT MUCH TOO FAR As predicted in The Pilot several weeks ago the bill of the architects, Kinney & Detweilor of Minneapolis, who were authorized by the committee of the County board on securing plans and specifications for anew court house, will not be allowed. The com mittee entered into a contract with the architects for the preparation of designs and agreed to pay SBSOO for the work. It seems, according to District Attorney Hougen, that the resolution under which the committee acted, did not permit it to go so far. The committee dissent from the opin ion of the district attorney but Judge Craite, the committee s attorney agrees with Mr. Hougen. MANITOWOC WAS NOT FAVORABLE TUTIONAL AMENDMENT Though tiie constitutional amendment carried increasing the number of Su preme conrt judges from nve to seven Manitowoc county was not favorable to it.

EDWARD L KELLEY RETIRES FROM Oil ICE OF CITY ATTORNEY Edward L. Kelley relinquished the office of city attorney last night after three yearn service, in) also held the office of president of the Board of Public Works. In both undertakings Mr. Kelley has rendered competent service to the city, his efficiency being recognized on many occasions. During his incumbancy of the city attorney’s office he has had to handle more liti gation than has fallen to the lot of his predecessors, in all of it he has shown adaptability and legal knowledge fitting him not only to discharge the duties needed of him but others of more in tricate character In the retirement of Mr. Kellev from office the public loses a valuable servant, but doubtless his ability will be sought for in other channels.

MIKADO OPERA WAS REAL GOOD Local Players Showed off Well on the Sta#e THEY TOOK THEIR PARTS ADMIRABLY And Gave the Audience More Than Their Money's Worth RECEIPTS WERE IN EXCESS OF J7OO Stage Looked Pretty and Quaint in Japan Dressing Under Auspices of Sacred Heart Church The gross receipts of the performance of the Mikado was a little in excess of ♦TOO. This sum is unusually large for an entertainment of its kind. The comic opera was given under the aus pices of the Church of the Sacred Heart, at the Turner hall on Monday evening, the auditorium being crowded by an appreciative audience. It can be said that the majority of the persons who attended the performance were agreeably astonished at the tine showing made by those who took part. Especially is the home talent to lie con gratulated for the display of real stage ability. There has been many shows in this town, the casts of which were professional, which did not measure up to the amateurs who held the boards last Monday night. From the point of view of a critic, taking into consideration, all the ele ments entering into the preparation of the opera, and the players, it can be truthfully said the show was not open to adverse criticism, rather it merited deserved praise. The following took the principal roles in the opera: Robert Taite, Mikado; Nanki Poo, Richard Buerstatte; Poo- Hah, Edward Herzog: Pish Tush, W, F. Ohde; Ynm Yum, Mrs, Harry Rich ards; Pitti Sing. Airs. Will Nelson: Peep Ho, M.s HetTuire, KatisLa. Mr Know -11s; Ko-Ko, Ueo, F. Kuovvlls. In the stage setting for once, the Tur tier hall looked as if it were a real opera house. The stage appeared quaint, really pretty in its Japanese adorn ments. The costumes of the perform ers were appropriate and looked well.
