GIRL GRADUATE
MAKES HER BOW
Class of Forty-Five Complete
Work of District School and
Receive Diplomas
EVENT WAS OF WIDE INTEREST
First Exercises of Character Ever Held In
Hie State Prove a Grand Success
-Large Audience
Loyalty of Manitowoc County to it t
schools was given a most pleasing de
monstration in the interest that was
manifested in the exercises at Turner
hall Thursday afternoon for the gradua
tion of pupils of the district schools, the
first public Commencement for the dis
trict school ever held in the State of
Wisconsin. An experiment, the event
proved of so grout a success as to insure
permanency in the future. The audience
in attendance was large in numbers and
representative of every section of the
county and the forty-three students
who received diplomas were given that
attention indicative of a spirit born of
an abiding interest in their present wel
fare and a personal concern for their
future careers. The class of the year
numbered forty-five and forty-three
were present to participate in the exer
cises.
Preparations made for the event in
cluded a program of addresses and a
.musical portion that served to interest
and please, but chief of the attractions
was the graduates themselves who have
attained their first success and reward
of merit, for while the diploma may not
be of any great commercial value to
the holder, it is the recognition of work
well and faithfully performed and a
credit to the ability and ambition of the
possessor. The graduates occupied
seats on the stage which had been
prettily, but not eleborately decorated
with palms, fern* and 60-’.-q rrv 'p
class colors,red and white, were display
ed in a large strip of bunting that was
hung over the proscenium opening.
Prof. F. S. Hjer of the County Train
ing School for Teachers gave the ad
dress at the exercises and it was an ad
dress teeming with mtggessions for the
betterment of the district school, which
according to Prof. Hyer educates more
men and women than all of the other
educational institutions of the state
combined. Last year there were 821,607
children enrolled in the schools outside
of the cities in the State and 10,304
teachers were employed. The humble
district school is the bulwark of onr re
public, the safeguard of ouj; freedom,
the fortress of onr liberty. Within its
portals the great majority of the citizens
of the United States receive their whole
school training. He dwelt upon the
conditions that surround the country
school, too frequently a detriment to
the work that can be accomplished. In
particular the speaker commented upon
the lack of interest in some districts on
the part of the patrons of the school,one
of the greatest disadvantages which the
school can encounter and which in
variably robs the school of the facilities
necessary to tbe best results. The
farmer owes it to himself, to his chil
dren, to the state that the school receive
the services of the best teachers and be
given the facilities that will insure the
highest order of success in the work.
He nrged the necessity of co-operation
of residents of the district to improve
the schools and quoted at length from
the report which was presented to the
state Teachers’ Association by a special
committee appointed a few years ago to
investigate into the conditions surround
ing the district schools. Improve the
school boards, secure the best teachers,
further the inteiest in the school, care
for the school property—make the build
ings attractive —and then will the ad.
vancement of education in the district
school be secured. The address of Prof.
Hyer was given close attention ami
made a most favorable impression with
the audience.
In awarding the diplomas, Snpt.
Christiansen complimented the pupils
and briefly aa dressed the chisj upon the
opportunities which it was in their
power to grasp. He referred to the
tendency of the day to desert the farm
in the belief that city life and vocations
offered greater possibilities and urged
the members of the class to apply them
selves to whatever duty offered itself
with the same zeal that had character
ized their sclnxd life and this would in
sure them success. There is no greater
achievement than a duty faithfully met,
said the speaker and that duty, if en
countered on the farm, is as elevating
as if of the town and city.
An interesting feature of the pro
gram was the awarding of the scholar
MANITOWOC PILOT.
ship medals to Miss Cammie Shimek, of
Rapids aud Henry fleiso, of Coopers
town. Emil Baensch made the address
in presenting the medals and took oc
casion to compliment the successful
pupils on the excellent record made in
school work and to urge the necessity
of exerting their best efforts at all times
in the affairs of life.
The musical part of the program was
a thoroughly enjoyable feature. There
was a male quartette consisting of
Messrs. Sedgwick, Qroffman, Grabo and
Olson and the two selections rendered
were well received. Instrumental
music was furnished by Robert Taite,
Ernst Taite, the Misses Jennie and
Florence Taite aud the quartette was
obliged to respond to an encore.'Eugene,
Eugenie and Roland Chlonpek gave a
piano trio that was excellent for musi
cians so young. Miss Marie Mulholland
was the accompanist.
Diplomas were awarded to the follow
ing: Frank Hussey, Jos. Shimek. Viola
Engelbrecht, Cammie Shimek, Elmer

Commencement aud has reason to feel
gratified.
QUARRY MEN OUT ON A STRIKE
I
Cook A Brewn t ion* r o Has Trouble Wi'h
Workmen Because of Wages.
Workmen employed in the quarries
of the Cook & Brown Lime Cos. at
Grimms are out on a strike because of
the refusal of the Company to grant a
demand for an increase of wage*. The
men are now paid #1.75 per day aud
have presented a scale calling for #1.85
and #1.90. The crew comprises ■ some
twenty men and it is not probable that
the strike will be long continued as the
quarries have come to be the chief en
terprise to Grimms and the closing of
the work would seriously affect the vil
lage. An amicable settlement is looked
for.
New Law Not To Apply Here
An opinion has I>een given by Acting
City Attorney R. W. Burke that the
new law, which provides that Super
visors elected from the City wards shall
serve on the City Board of Review,
does not apply here for the reason that
the City is operating under a social
charter and the law is an amendment
to the general laws. In view of the
opinion the members of the Council
will perform the service at the meeting
of the Board July 6, although it is prob
able that the City may later adopt the
new provision.

CIRCUS DAY S LARGE CROWD
I-Paws-Sells Bros. Big Show Pleased
Manitowoc People
Circus day brought a large crowd of
people to the city and throughout the
county was a holiday that was general
ly taken advantage of. Threatened
rain in the early morning may have de
tracted from the crowds but it is esti
mated that from 4000 to 6000 made the
city their mecca and both performances
were largely attended, tbe afternoon
crowd being in the neighborhood of 7000.
The parade at noon was an important
feature of the day’s doings and was
fully up to the standard of other par
ardes seen here. The Forepaugh, Sells
Bros’ circus can justly lay claim to being
one of tbe big shows of the day and in
no way dissappointed the expectations
entertained for it. There was a re
markable absence of “grafters” and
little trouble was experienced during
the day.

APPEAL TO PUBLIC FOR All)
Sratc World’s Fair Commission Will
Raise Additional Fund
The Commission which is planning
the exhibit for the state at the Ht. Louis
Worlds Fair next year has issued a
call for assistance in raising a fund
that will lie sufficient to give the state a
fitting representation. A Wisconsin
book, reviewing the resources, wealth
and advantages of the state, will be is
sued, 860,000 copies to be circulated and
this book will be distributed to the
crowds at the Fair. The Legislature
failed to make the appropiate asked by
the Commission,reducing the amount to
$76,000 and this is considered too little
to make the exhibit that Wisconsin is
entitled to. The Commission will re
cieve the support of the people of the
state and a liberal response will be made
to the project. Every interest of the
state will be given space and set forth
in attractive manner.
Investigate Police Official
An investigation may bo made into
affairs of the City Police department as
the result of the action of officers in dis

in the Hykenski case. The order com
mitting the boy to the Reform School
was withdrawn and sentence suspended,
but despite this the Chief of Police di
rected the removal of the child without
notifying the Court. The act was one
that is condemned by all who know’ the
circumstances of the case and a com
plaint is being prepared asking the Fire
and Police Commissioner to investigate
and this will probably result in some ac
tion.

Country Districts of County Suffer In
vasion of the Dread Disease.
Correspondents of the Pilot report
the prevalence of smallpox In certain
sections of the County and that there
has been some trouble for the health
authorities to secure the co-operation of
the public in the work of confining the
disease and preventing its spread. In
Maple drove according to the reports,
there are several persons who are vic
tims and while the disease appears of
mild type, there is no less danger in
permitting it to spread. The two deaths
in the county last Winter should serve
as a warning against carelessness and
wilful disregard of caution to hold the
disease in check. Every assistance
should be given the health authorities.

dar of Twenty-Five—Fagan Wins Again
- Beer's Case Settled
Love making without serious intent
must needs be unprofitable in Manito
woc County in view of the judgment
of Circuit Conit jurors, another verdict
having been rendered in favor of the
plaintiff in a breach of promise action.
Miss Christina Klindt, a Cooperstown
girl who suffered the humiliation of
being jilted by John Krieser, will re
ceive 11500 as blam for her wounded
feelings. The case, which was decided
Friday wa* not contested by the de
fendant. no appearance being made by
Krieser who is engaged in farming in
South Dakota. Several letters, breath
ing passionate love and promising life
long allegiance, which were introduced
into evidence, proved the undoing of
the young man and formed the ground
work for the large judgment given.
The original suit was for SSOOO. Both
Miss Klindt and Krieser were residents
of Cooperstown two years ago when
the courtship was carried on. The
young lady is 24 years of age and the
defendant 23.
The June term of Circuit Court is
nearing its close. The jurv was dis
charged Monday afternoon and but few
cases remain to be heard by the Court.
The Novak Fagan case, a civil action
brought by Novak to recover damages
for an alleged assault, was decided in
favor of Fagan, the defendant. The
complaint, which was for SIOO was
amended and demanded SSOO. The suit
grew out of trouble which the two
men had at a dance several weeks ago.
In Municipal Court Fagan pleaded
gilty to a charge of assault and paid a
fine.
Settlement without trial was had in
the case which Charles Beers instituted
against the Manitowoc and Northern
Traction Company. Beers claimed
$3500 damages because of the laying of
a spur track by the Company in front
of his premises on South Eighth street.
When the case was called for trial, the
plaintiff sought to amend the complaint
to sue for SI2OOO and when the argu
ments were had, Judge Kirwan per
mitted the amendment. A conference
of attorneys was held and terms for a
settlement were agreed upon. The
Traction Company will change its
tracks, hut the terms of the settlement
have not been given nut.
In the Uugowski case, an action
brought by the City against Ex Alder
man Edward Rugowski for alleged
violation of the quarantine laws, the
jury found the defendant guilty.
Uugowski left the premises where he
was quarantined because of being afflict"
ed with smallpox. The offense was
committed last Winter during the epi
demic and in Municipal Court a heavy
fine was imposed on the defendant. A
petition for anew trial will be argued
by the attorneys.
