tendance and Interesting
Papers Were Read
PROF. LUEHR IS ELECTED PRESIDENT
A. 0. Thompson of Two Rivers Named As
First Vice-President Prof. P- 0. W.
Keller, Prof. F. S. Ilyer and Mrs.
Arnold Alexander Among the
Speakers
The largest and most enthusastic
meeting in the history of the North
eastern Teachers’ Association was held
at Sheboygan last week Friday and
Saturday. Between 500 and 600 persons
were enrolled, over one hundred of
whom were from Manitowoc County.
The teachers at the opening session
were welcoitied by Charles A. Born,
the socialist mayor of Sheboygan, who
devoted a portion of his address to a
vigorous attack on "imperialism".
Among the papers presented was one
by Prof. P. G. W. Keller, of this city,
on "The Treatment of Written Work ",
He said that less systematic work was
being done in English than in any other
branch of study in the high schools,
and culled attention to the plans of the
Manitowoc library board, which offers
a prize fur the best literary production
by a high school student, the topic this
year being a history of Manitowoc from
1850 to 1860. There is a concerted
movement among leading educators and
institutions to adopt measures that will
secures more satisfactory work in the
writing and speaking of the English
language.
Prof F. S. Hyer, of the Manitowoc
County Teachers' Training School, and
Mrs. Arnold Alexander, of the Luling
School, also addressed the meeting.
Prof. C. E. Patzer, our former county
superintendent of schools, now in
charge of the training department of
the Milwaukee Normal School, was to
present a paper on "Language Training
in Connection with The Study of
Mathematics," but found it impossible
to be present. His topic was taken up
by A. N. Olson, superintendent of the
Kaukanna Schools.
B. H. Meyer, professor of the school
of commerce of the state university,
who is well known here to those who
attended his course of lectures on eco
nomic subjects a few years ago, took up
the cudgels in behalf of H ~ state in
spectors of high schools. Friday eve
ning Prof. Clark of Chicago University,
gave a popular lecture on “The Spirit
of Literature.”
Saturday’s general session was devot
ed to discussions of Manual Training,
Domestic Economy, Commercial Work
and the present system of state inspec
tion of High Schools.
The election of officers took place
Saturday morning, and the opening
ballot for president developed four
candidates, with Professors Luehr and
Hyer of this city in the lead. The con
test proved quite spirited, Prof. W. H.
Luehr, principal of the First Ward
School of this city, being elected on the
fourth ballot with 99 votes. Prof. F, S.
Hyer was his closest competitor with 76
Prof. Hyer was named as chairman of
the executive committee, and it is
thought his influence will help to secure
the next meeting of the association for
Manitowoc. This is the more likely
sir ce it has been the general custom
that the city winning the presidency
has been chosen as the next place of
meeting.
A. O. Thompson of Two Rivers was
then chosen first vice-president.
The meeting closed Saturday after
noon, and all the teachers expressed
themselves as highly pleased with the
convention and the results attained.

REPORTS MADE AT YEAR’S END
City Library Board Holds Annual Meeting
Institution in Healthy Condition
The annual meeting of the City Libra"
ry Board was held Monday evening and
reports of officers submitted showed the
institution to be in a healthy condition
The total of books in the library is now
6395 and there are 3957 patrons, who dur
ing the year circulated a total of 36,666
volumes. The Library when established
four years ago had but 1755 volumes and
the large increase to more than 6000 is
indicative of the interest and cordial sup
port which the public has always given.
The maintenance of the Library for the
year costs $2224.15 and estimates for the
ensning year ares3o96, which, however,
covers a period of fifteen months. Sixty
three persons made gifts of books or
periodicals during the past year. The
now Carnegie building is well under way
and will be ready for occupancy early
next year.
HE LECTURES ON SOCIALISM
Father Hagerty Addresses Audience
At Turner Hall
A free lecture will always attract an
audience, particularly if the theme be
of a political nature. So it was a fair
sized audience that greeted Rev.
Father Hagerty Friday evening at the
Turner Opera House when Attorney
Richard Burke, the leader of the Social
Democratic party in Manitowoc county,
introduced him for a lecture on "Social
ism". Father Hagerty bore a pleasing
stage pr- sence and had an excellent
command of English, so that his talk
was enjoyable as an oratorical effort.
He devoted much of his time to an ex
coiation of the recognized and de
plored evils of the present economic
system, and very little of it in attempt
ing to prove that the ideals of socialism
are practicable and possible.
CAME TO INSPECT THE ASYLUM
Member of Slate Board of Control,
Harvey Clark, on Tour of Inspection
Manitowoc County's Asylum is known
to be one of the liest in the state. The
opinion too was given out by the newly
appointed member of the state board of
control in his tour of inspection lately,
aud found everything in good running
order and repair. The state official
spent about two hours in the city in
specting the asylum and jail and will
hand in his report to the Board at the
next meeting. Mr. Clark’s home is in
Monroe where he has been a leader in
politics for many years.

I COUNTY IS RICH IN RELICS
The Archaeological Survey has Disclosed
Many —Indian Mounds and Relics
This bulletin has been given out by
the State Archaeological Society, as
fellows:
The archaeological survey of Mani
towoc county which has been partly
completed this season by Dr. Lewis
Falge of member of the
Wisconsin Archaeological society, has
called attention anew to a region rich
in antiquities and earthworks, and the
date filed by Dr. Falge with Secretary
Charles E. Brown of Milwaukee will
subsequently be elaborated with a
bulletin. Manitowoc county was set
apart in 1840. and was for many years
a favorite camping ground for the
hunter Indian tribes. The shore of the
lake was lined with village sites, which
have recently been explored by members
of the society and found fruitful sources
of prehistoric implements and pottery.
But the Manitowoc river and its tribu
tary streams in Manitowoc county have
been practically unexplored. In 1850
Dr. Increase A. Lapham visited the
vicinity of Manitowoc Rapids and lo
cated there two groups of prehistoric
works, now nearly obliterated. Some
years later, Dr. Stephen D. Peet, editor
of the American Antiqnrrian, reported
a group of mounds in the vicinity of
the thriving village of Neshoto. From
that day until the present summer noth
ing in the way of scientific research has
been accomplished although the relic
hunter has made the most of the op
portunity, ransacking mounds and
Indian graves and destroying memorial
records which might have furnished
important knowledge concerning the
aboriginal inhabitants of the lake shore
district. Hundreds of copper, stone,
iron, bone and clay implements, ob
tamed in the county, are widely scat
tered through the public and private
collections of the state and country.
Dr. Falge's systematic researches
have brought to light many interesting
details. Beginning in the township of
Cato and follow in the westward course
of the Manitowoc river, he first located
the remains of a large Winnebago
Indian cemetery near Clarks Mills,
Near Quarry postofflee in the southeast
corner of the township of Rockland he
found and surveyed a group of four
linear mound and one efligy of the
•‘lizard" type. These mounds measure
from 60 to 75 feet in length and up to 16
feet in width and are now about three
feet high. They are on the north bank
of the riyer in pasture land elevated
some forty feet above the river. They
have been only slightly disturbed. In
the early fifties this region was occupied
by roving bands of Pottowatomies and
Winnebago Indians.
In the northwest of the township of
Eaton, a few miles from Niles, evidences
are found of a former large Pottowata
mie village. Near Maple Grove, on
MudCreekla branch of the Manitowoc
river) there exists an aboriginal ceme
tery. The graves have been opened and
a number of stones and iron implements
obtained. Near Larrabee postofflee,
in Gibson township, are st'll to be seen
several acres of hills, the remains of an
Indian planting ground where corn,
squashes, melons and ojher vegetables
known to Indian horticulture were
grown.
A group of circular tunnels was
found by Dr. Falge at the forks of the
Manitowoc river in the town of Rantoul
in eastern Calumet county. A copper
ax and spud and a number of stone im
plements have been found in the vicini
ty. An Indian cemetery lies between
the mounds and the river.
Dr Falge's work has been of a most
careful and praisworthy character and
is greatly appreciated by the society.
During the coming season he will con
tinue and extend his reconnaissances to.
the large regions in the towns of Meeme
Schleswig and Liberty and the plan of
dispatching a small field party to that
region is being considered. Messrs. H.
P. Hamilton of Two Rivers, 11. Hchuet
te of Manitowoc. Assemblyman N.
Terrens and Wm. Oswald of Mishicot
are also assisting the society in its ex
plorations in Manitowoc county. When
the work has been completed a bulletin
describing the antiquities will be pub
lished. In the Milwaukee museum
there is a large collection of stone and
copjier implements made in Manitowoc
county, by II Haysen, a former resi
dent of New Holstein. Dr. Peek, who
is mentioned in the report is a son-in
law of John Diimke of this city.

MANITOWOC, WIS. OCTOBER 29,1903.
WASHINGTON LETTER
(FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT)
Washington, D. (’, Oct. 26, 1903.
The call for the extra session of Con
gress to begin on November 9th has just
been issued by the President. The “ex
traordinary occasion” which requires the
convening of Jmth houses, is the neces
sary approval by Congress of the recipro
cal convention between the United States
and the Republic of Cuba, signed at
Havana on December list 1902. The
consideration of the Cuban treaty will
undoubtedly be the chief business during
the extra session, but any other business
will lie in order, as when Congress is
once in session it can undertake any
legislation which either House desires.
It is expected that many bills will be in
troduced, but most of the time will be
consumed in debating the tariff issue
which will be raised by the treaty. The
comparative strength of the parties in
file first meeting of the Fifty-eighth Con
gress will be in the Senate, fifty-seven
republicans and thirty-three democrats,
and in the House 205 republicans and 178
democrats. In the House of Represen
tatives there will be 1 members who
have never served before, and in the
Senate, 12 Senators who will see their
first service, except that of the ten days
extra session of the Senate last spring.
Senator Gorman will lead the democratic
forces and the republicans in the Senate
will find themselves confronted by a
united and definite policy, guided by the
mau whom the President regards as hi„
most dangerous rival for the first office
of the land. In the House the new
speaker will try to distribute the import
ant chairmanships without arousing
animosities and dissensions in the repub
licun party. It is said that Representa
tive Hepburn of lowa will take advant
age of the chance in the speakership to
lead an attack upon the House rules
which have placed the lower branch of
Congress under the dominion of a small
oligarchy consisting Speaker and
the Committee on rules. He proposes to
enlarge this powerful committee and al*
so that it shall be chosen by thetwopar
ties in the House instead of being ap
pointed by the speaker. He will no
doubt have the support of the democrats
and of many republicans who are con
cerned at the loss of prestige ami power
by the House dne to the iron Yules of
Reed.
President Roosevelt’s attitude to the
canal question has displeased many
members of Congress ami it is said that
he will be called upon during the extra
session to explain why, on the failure of
the treaty proposed to Columbia, he did
not begin negotiations with Nicaragua
as he is directed to do by the Spooner
act. In the Isthmian canal question he
seems to have adopted the general re
republican attitude of "stand pat". In
speaking of the President’s delay in en
forcing the law. Senator Morgan of Ala
bama said. "The President seems to be
in the same catagory as our friend Mi
cawber. He is waiting for something to
turn up. Just what that something is to
be is not apparent. Why should he de
lay? There is no excuse for his tardiness
in opening negotiations with Nicaragua
and Costa Rica for a route. I believe a
disposition will ho shown in the Senate
and House to secure an explanation from
the President as to his exact reason for
delay.”
Senator Gorman’s stinging criticism of
the President for his interference in the
Maryland campaign is having a visible
effect. The Marylander’s resent the im
plication that they are nimble to manage
their affairs without the aid of Washing
ton and this resentment is by no means
oontined to the democratic party. While
the President may have succeeded in
bringing about a semblance of harmony
between the leaders of the republican
factions, every time he summons them
to the White House he brings votes to
the democratic party. It is said that the
President has more fear of Gorman than
for any other candidate the democrats
might nominate and he is doing all in
his power to prevent a republican defeat
in Maryland. It was no doubt with his
approval, that Senator Gorman's brother
has just ts>en dismissed from the Treas
ure department, ‘for the good of the
service”. The Treasury officials would
not give out the exact nature of the
charges. Whatever they may be, the
dismissal comes at a moment which
justifies suspicions of political revenge.
The official announcement of the Alas
kan Boundary < 'omrnissiou was given out
last Tuesday and the victory of the
United States has pleased the Americans'
angered the Canadians, and surprised the
British. The Canadian commissioners
refused to sign the award but they affix
ed their signatures to the map which
w w agreed upon by the majority The
boundary decided upon lies far Torn the
coast and gives to the United States sub
stantially all the territory in dispute.
The line clears all the bays, inlets, and
means of access to the seas and estab*
lishes a complete barrier between Cana,
da and the sea from the Portland canal
to Mount St, Elias. Around the head of
the Lynn Canal the line follows the
watershed. The Canadians get the cauaj
and the Pearse and Wales Islands, but
we were given the two islands which lie
immediately outside and they are of far
more importance from a strategic point
of view. The decision in our fayor was
dne to the vote of Lord Alvestone the
British representative, who became con
vinced of the justice of the American
claims. The Canadians accuse him of
partisanship and make no attempt to
disguise their disappointment and anger.
But both the commissioners and the
Canadian public are far more bitter
against the British government than
against the Americans. Tb, following
interview from one of the ('.madianscon
needed with the case illust o.tes their at
titude toward ttie award. "It is the
hardest blow the imperial tie has yet re
ceived. The place Lord Alvestone filled
was clearly that of agent for the British
government. It was a shock to the Can
adian people to know that not withstand
ing all the professions of friendship and
B ympathy the sob mu formalities of the
international court havesimply been used
for ttie purpose of handing over Canadian
territory to the United States. Canada
must now face the fact that when im
perial interest of friendships require it,
her territory may be handed over with
out the slighest hesitation. This marks
a most serious epoch in the relation be
tween Canada and the mother country. '■
The Canadian commissioners are especi
ally bitter over the acquisition by the
United States of the two outermost of
the four islands off the mouth of the
Portland canal. They give as their
reason the extreme strategic value of the
islands. However they might know
that in a conflict between the United
States and Canada the strategic value of
these or any other islands would have an
infinitesimal influence on the outcome of
the struggle.
