SPECIAL CALL FOR
COUNTY SOLONS
Court House Committee Summons
Board To Meet For One
i | Day, June 19.
IMPORTANT QUESTION TO COME UP THEN
Committee Will Recommend Purchase Of
Property Adjoining Present Site
Of Court House.
Progress, la being made by the new
Committee appointed at the recent ses
sion of the County Board to investigate
and consider into plans for the proposed
new coart bouse and a call is now being
circulated for a special meeting of tl*o
Board, Friday, June 19, when the com
mittee will recommend that the County
make purchase of the property adjoining
the present court bouse site and will
propose that authority be granted the
Committee to proceed with negotiations
for acquiring the property to be utilized
in providing a larger and better site for
the new structure. This plan was sug
gested to the Board at the Spring meet
ing bnt no action was taken at that
time. It is desired that the matter be
definitely determined in order that the
Committee may, if the purchase is de
cided npon, secure plans for a suitable
building to occupy the larger site.
The suggestion that the County secure
the adjoining property and thus have an
entire block for the county building met
with popular approval from the public
when introduced and it is not believed
cat *he Board of Supervisors will hesi
ondorse the recommendation of
the Committee and adopt resolutions for
the purchase, although what methods
will be nsed cannot be foretold. It is
the general opinion that the property
can be secured by the County for this
purpose at a reasonable cost and with
the present holdings will make an ideal
site for anew court house. Should the
purchase be made It.is probable that *he
plan will be to locate the structure in
the center of the plot, having entrances
on fonr sides of the building.
Two meetings have been held by the
Committee bat aside from effecting an
organization and a general discussion
of the subject nothing has been accom
plished, members of the Committee pre
ierring to await the action of the Board
on the recommendation (or the purchase
of the additional land before considering
plans for the building. After the meet
ing June 19, it is likely that the compe
tition of architects for sketches and
plans will be reopened and an effort will
be made to secure a large number of
plans to be submitted to the Board for
consideration. This was one of the chief
objections raised to the work of the
former committee—that the competition
was too limited and that the Board did
not have the privilege of making a
choice owing to the Committee having
failed to admit a sufficient number cf
sketches to insure the best results. It is
thought that the purchase of the addi
tional property will entail an increased
expenditure of from $30,000 to $25,000,
which, with the cost of the building lim
ited to $150,000, will make the total in
the neighborhood of $175,000 to SIBO,OOO.
There is no doubt but that a sufficient
number of signatures will be secured
for the calling of the meeting June 19
and the action of the board on the pro
position will be awaited with much in
terest As to the method of raising
funds to meet the cost of the cctv court
house, it is probable that advantage will
be taken of the county's privilege to
borrow from the state and beads may
also be issued to meet a portion of the
expenditure.
The matter is in the hands of the
County Board Committee on Public Im
provements, members of which have the
counsel and assistance of Attorney L. J.
Nash, Fred Schnette and Thomas Torri
son, of this city, and J. E. Hamilton, of
Two Rivers, in their deliberations.

Be of Lasting Benefit to City.
Two Rivers Is Ir>adingl r >ading the march of

enjoying a substantial growth which
will one day rival Manitowoc if con
tinued. The new factory of the Hamil

and gives the city the largest manufac
turing institution in the county. The
enlarging of the plant means the em
ployment of a largely increased force of
workmen, skilled labor at good wages.
In addition to the Hamilton plant the
city is to secure another new factory, a
concern engaged in the manufacture of
advertising novelities and one employ
ing 200 men. To induce the location of

JUBILEE TO PASS UNSUNG
Plans For Celebration At St. Nazianz In
1904 Have Been Abandoned.
Next year is the fiftieth anniversary
of the establishment of the colony and
village of St. Nazianz and althongh for
several years plans have been under con
sideration for a fitting celebration of
the event, it is probable that it will be
delayed and perhaps abandoned entire
ly, owing to the World’s Fair at St.
Lonis. The most that can now be ex
pected in the line of anniversary obser
vance is some religious services which
will undoubtedly be held on the day
that completes the year.
An interesting history is connected
with the establishment of the St. Nazi
anz colony,originally numbering 1 lit per
sons who arrived in Manitowoc county
August 20, 1854, from Baden, Germany.
Rev. Ambrose Oschwald was in charge
of the colony, the members of which
purchased It,ooo teres of land and im
mediately located what is now the vil
lage of St. Nazianz. The first church ser
vices at the colony were held October 21,
1854, and Rev, Oschwald continued as
leader of the colony until bis death
which occurred February 27, 1873. Rev.
Peter A. Mutz succeeded as the head of
colony on March 13, 1873 and the popu
lation at that time numbered 173 fami
lies. Father Mutz retired in 188!).
Two members of the original colony are
now residents at St. Nazianz, Jacob
Durst and Martin Sohn, both of whom
haye attained a ripe old ago.
Although no celebration of the golden
jubilee will be had in public the individ
ual residents of the community and
village will not permit the anniversary
to pass unnoticed and in addition to the
chnrcb services there will be some ob
servance of a semi-public character.
GOOD WORK ON COUNTRY ROAD
Traction Company Improves Road Lead
in; to Power House.
Much good work is being done on the
roads throughout the country districts
and the farmers are entitled to great
credit. On the Two Rivers road several
teams are at work grading with the re
sult that the road is to liecome one of
the beat in the county. The Manito
woc and Northern Traction Company
has had considerable work done on the
road leading to the power house near
the Little Manitowoc and the improve
ment is very noticeable. It is to be re
gretted that there are a few citizens
who are continually seeking to block
the efforts of the company which hai
abcomplished a great good to Manito
woc.
SCHOOL PETITION IS HANDED IN
Petition of School Districts May ;o to
Popular Vote
The petition for a consolidation of all
the school districts of the city has re
ceived a sufficient number of signatures
and was presented to Mayor Kemper
today. The meeting, provided by law,
of the Council and school directors, will
lie called in 10 to 20 days and the peti
tion considered at that time. Although
the Connell and directors have authority
to act upon the petition, it is probable
that the question of consideration will
be submitted to a vote of the people
for an expression. This vote would in
no way decide the matter, the Council
having exclusive authority, but the ex
pression would undoubtedly influence
the action. There is the certainty that
final steps will be deferral for a time.

CHANGE IN BOARD OF REVIEW
County Supervisors From City Wards
Will Perform Service Hereafter.
Although there exists a diversity of
opinion it is generally presumed that
members of the County Board of
Supervisors elected from the various
wards in the city, will serve on the City
Board of Review under a law passed by
the recent legislature and with the
Mayor, City Clerk and two Assessors
will comprise the Board. Notice of
this change will be given by the City
Clerk in a few days and the Board will
meet July (5. Heretofore the City
Council has elected the members of the
Board of Review from the members of
the Council, one alderman being selec
ted from each ward and this was done
this year but the action is ilelgal. The
Board is in session for ten days and the
compensation is $3 per day.
The new law amends Sec. 1)25 apply
ing to general charters and for this
reason may not affect Maniiowoc which
is under a special charter. The Attor
ney General will be requested to give
an opinion.

NEW RULE IN DAMAGE SUITS
Supreme Court Decision Is Of Interest
To Laboring Men-
A late decision of the State Supreme
Court is of particular interest to labor
ing men as affecting relationship of a
foreman employe to other employes.
The decision was rendered in the dam
age suit of Chas. Baumann vs. the Reiss
< 'oal Cos. of Bhel>oygan and holds that
the foreman is a vice-principal with his
employer. Baumann was injured while
employed by the Reiss Cos. and sued to
recover and the Supreme ('ourt awards
a verdict. Under the new decision,
which is a departure from other deci
sions of the court in the same class of
cases, if an employe is sent by the fore;
man into a hazardous position he can,
if injury results from the hazard, recov
er if it can lie shown that the employe
was not aware of the hazard and that
the foreman had knowledge that it ex
isted. The decision Is regarded as most
important.

COURT TERM MAY
TAKE LONGER TIME
But Three of Ten Cases for Trial
Have Been Heard in Eight
Days.
INTERESTING LIBEL SUIT DECIDED
Henry Gocres Fails to Establish a Case
Against the Kiel Zieting—Other Cases
Up at Term.
Indications are that the June term of
Circuit Court will occupy a much long
er time than was at first anticipated,
but three of ten cases to be tried having
been heard in the eight days since the
term opened. The moat important of
the number was concluded Wednesday
with the verdict of the jury releasing
Ellenbecker and Kenne, publishers of
the Kiel National Zietung. from lia
bility for damages to Henry Ooeres, the
plaintiff in the action for $.5000 institut
ed against the firm. The complaint
alleged a libel in statements made in
an article published in the Zietung in
which it was charged that Goeres had
attempted to make unauthorized collec
tion of monies due the publishers and
had received money from subscribers of
the paper. Tue statement published
warned subscribers of the Zietung not
to pay monies to Goeres. In the neigh
borhood of fifty witnesses testified in
the cast-. The defense pleaded justifac
tion tor the publication and that Goeres
had not been injured as charged in the
complaint. A jury of eleven men heard
the evidence in the case, one having
been excussed on consent of counsel for
iHith parties. Goeres is engaged in the
real estate business at Kiel and also
conducts collection agency. The jury
was out less than two hours and refused
to sustain tho plaintiff's claim. It is
probable that an appeal will be taken.
Another interesting case disposed of
was that in which Wenzel Hostack was
plaintiff and Joseph Beuesch.defendant.
Both are residents at Cooperstown and
the suit resulted over the sale by
Benesch 'o Hostack of a horse, which
the latter claimed was not the animal
represented, and he sought to force
Benesch to accept the animal again.
The jury returned a verdict for the de
fendant and Hostack will now be com
pelled to pay the sllO purchase price
and in addition, the costs of the appeal
and trial.
Court is now occupied with the hear
ing uf the Novak Fagan case,an action
instituted by Frank Novak, of Coopers
town, for s.soo, claimed as civil damages
for an alleged assault made upon his
person by John Fagan, also of Coopers
town. The trouble occurred at a dance
which the two attended a few months
ago and in Municipal Court Fagan paid
a fine for tho alleged assault. The
original suit was for SIOO but an amend
ed complaint seeks to recover SSOO.
Two other cases that will attract
much attention and prove of wide in
terest are scheduled to come up for
trial at the present term of court, the
first being the breach of promise action
in which Miss Christina Klindt.a pretty
Cooperstown Miss sues for $.5,000. The
defendant to the suit is John Kreiser,
who is a resident of tho same town and
who Miss Klindt alleges won her heart
and Incidentally her promise to wed
him. It is charged in the complaint
that Kreiser was faithless to his inten
tion and that as a result the young lady
has suffered hnmilation and injuries to
the amount of $-5,000. The parlies to
the suit are both memliers of prominent
families at Cooperstown and for this
reason widespread interest is attached
to the trial of the cast'.
The second case is that of the City of
Manitowoc vs, Edward Rngowski, ap
pealed by the defendant from Munici
pal Court. Rngowski is charged with
violation of the rules of the City Health
authorities in leaving premises where
he was confined in quarantine because
of being articled with smallpox. At
the time of tbe allleged infringement
Rngowski was a member of the City
Council.

loss to the lodge by death was 263, so
that tire increase was 236. There are
246 subordinate lodges in the state.
Tbe 1904 Grand lodge session of the
