I TRAINWTSMTO.
H The tmin from Green Bay that ar-
Bves here a short time before (i p. m.
lit an automobile containing Mr. anti
lira. Joseph Kazda of this city at the
■lank road crossing Tuesday evening,
■'lie train was going fast and the engi
neer was on tlie opposite side of the
Bngine and did not see the car so the
Impost was terrific. The automobile
vas crushed and thrown about forty
eet. When the train was backed up
o the injured they were found uncon
cious. Mr. Kazda was apparently not
eriously hurt, but Mrs. Kuzda was so
jadly injured that it was thought at
irst that she would not recover. He
ro very is still doubtful. She was soon
o become a mother and her baby was
>orn dead a few hours after the acci
lent. The couple were both about 545
years of age Und had been married
about a year. They were starting for
Francis Creek, Mr. Kuzda’s former
home, when the accident occurred.
Mr. Kazda lias been driving a car
for live years and in approaching the
place of this collision there is a view
up the track for a long distance. The
only theory that seems tenable is that
Kazda tried to beat the train to the
crossing. i
TINSEL CO. ENLARGES.
The Tinsel Manufacturing company
has purchased the business of the Na
tional Toy Manufacturing company of
Milwaukee and is moving it to this city.
The equipment of the toy concern is
being installed in the tinsel company’s
factory at Hamilton and Sixteenth
streets. The company is building an
addition to its factory which will dou
ble the floor space. The new lines in
clude toy furniture, store sets, carts,
garden sets und nearly all standard
wooden toys.
Mr. George Sanderson, who has been
in the local postofflee for fifteen years,
has filed his resignation and will be of
fice manager for the enlarged concern.
Few residents realize how important a
feature of the city’s industries this
concern has come to be.
U- W. MEMORIAL BUILDING.
George Vits represents Manitowoc
county on the board of trustees of the
Memorial union which is about to start
a campaign to raise about $750,000 for
the erection of a Memorial building at
the University of Wisconsin as a per
manent tribute to the university men
and women who served in the war.
The building to be erected will be
known us the University Memorial
Union Building and tentative plans
provide that it shall include the fol
lowing features: Theater of 1,500 seat
ing capacity; memorial and trophy
room; reading and lounging rooms;
commons of from 1,500 to 2,000 capac
ity; a number of private dining rooms;
editorial rooms for student publica
tions; four rooms of 100 seating ca
pacity each for debating societies;
rooms for dancing; bowling alleys;
billiard rooms; faculty club rooms and
quarters for the Union Board student
senate, student court and other uni
versity' organizations. The committee
lias decided to conduct its campaign
for funds by the pledge card system,
under which contributors will be ask
ed to pledge a certain amount and be
given the privilege of paying it over
a two year period. Although the drive
will be carried on to a large extent
among the alumni, former students,
prospective students and particular
friends of the university, the commit
tee also will expect subscriptions from
the general public.

The weather man spoiled what would
have been the big baseball day of the
year last Sunday. The local champs
and the Sheboygan runners-up were to
clash head-on on the local lot but there
was a drizzle all afternoon. The game
will probably he played next Sunday.
Then was nothing but wind to Field's
claim that the White Sox victory over
his team months age would be thrown
out giving him a chance at the pen
nant. The local tram has the flag
cinched and big preparations have been
made for pennant day. A local com
mittee has been appointed and a fund
raised to celebrate properly.
The Manitowoc team champions of
the Lake Shore league will play a three
game series with Whitewater champ
ions of the Central States circuit, one
of which will be played at Manitowoc.
PLUNDER BOAT HOUSES
Complaints have been made to the
police for some time of the looting of
boathouses up the river. Monday the
police took into custody George Bor
thes, 19, and Lloyd Frenges, l(i, as the
culprits and recovered about SBO wort
of stolen goods. At the room of one
of the hoys a spotlight and tube from
an automobile was fastened to the head
of the bed for a reading lamp und was
recognized as having been stolen from
a garage in the city. There is a mis
cellaneous array of plunder recovered
for which owners are sought. The boys
are recent arrivals here.

1 CELEBRATES 25TH ANNIVERSARY
It was a triple celebration held at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Schlei, South Eighteenth street, Mon
day evening. First, and foremost, the
celebration commemorated the silver
wedding anniversary of the couple. The
date was also the fiftieth anniversary
of Mr. Schlei's birth and the tenth of
that of the couple’s son Arnold. The
affair was a pleasant one.
Friends and relatives to the number
of seventy-five were present and dur
ing the evening the Marine band of
which Mr. Schlei is a member serenad
ed the couple. Mr. and Mrs. Schlei, the
latter Carolina Kirchner before her
mar riage, were wedded at the Lutheran
church here and have resided in the
same home for twenty-five years. Rev.
Karl Machmueller who officiated at the
marriage a quarter of a century ago,
was one of the guests.
BIG INCREASE IN REALTY VALUES
The city council’s committe on ceme
tery and parks had a meeting and went
over the offers of owners of the prop
erty desired for additions to Evergreen
cemetery. The property lies between
some o,f the owners were reasonable
the cemetery and Michigan avenue,
and their offers will be recommended
for acceptance. Others fixed prices
which were considered as way beyond
real value and the committee will rec
ommend that condemnation proceed
ings be instituted to acquire these. It
was given out that the city is asked
prices ranging from $8,(too to $15,000
for property lately purchasel by the
owners at from $3,000 to $4,500.
Owing to the actual high values, lot

of Woodlawn will probably not be pur
chased.

The Eagles had their second big
home coining for the soldiers at the
Orpheum lust Friday evening. Over
700 people participated. There was a
musical program and talks and dancing
until 2 a. m. The Elks have a mem
bership program under way and over
200 applications have been presented

HERZOG IN RESERVES.
Just after "Fete” Herzog had left
for u tryout in the Columbus baseball
team of the American association word
came that he had been placed in the
officers' reserve corps of the United
States army. Herzog was commis
sioned a first lieutenant at the second
training camp at Fort Sheridan and
was recently discharged after a lot of
real soldiering overseas. He must now
be in readiness to go into active service
on short notice.

SPECIAL SESSION OF CO. BOARD
The county hoard met Tuesday aft
ernoon in special session to consider
the matter of making an appropria
tion for the use of the sheriff to em
j ploy deputies to protect life and prop
erty in Two Rivers if trouble should
break out there again before the strike
is settled. A iisoriilon app.-oprlaling
$3,000 for said purpose was introduced
by Supervisor Wilsman of Two Rivers.
Following is the resolution:
“Whereas, it is represented to the
county hoard of supervisors of Mani
towoc county in special meeting as
sembled that it has been in the past
few' weeks and may again be necessary
for the sheriff of said county of Mani
towoc to employ a large number of
special deputies for the purpose of (ire
serving the public peace and order
within said county, and
“Whereas, such condition is a con
tingency not foreseen or considered by
the county board of this county at the
time of the fixing of the salary of said
sheriff, and
“Whereas, it is recognized that it is
not possible for the sheriff of said
county to provide any considerable
number of deputies for the purpose
above set forth, for such time us the
conditions above mentioned might re
quire their employment and to pay for
such service out of the salary now be
ing paid by the county of Manitowoc,
now, therefore,
“Be It Resolved, by the county board
of supervisors of Manitowoc county
that the sum of three thousand dol
lars be and the same hereby is appro
priated from the general funds of said
county not otherwise appropriated,
said amount or such part thereof as
may he necessary to tie used for the
payment for services of special depu
ties which have within the past month
been employed, or which shall in the
future, be employed by the sheriff of
said county for the purpose of quelling
disorder and keeping the public peace
in case of strikes or riots within said
county, no part of said money to be
used for payment of deputies’ services
rendered for any other purpose than
the one stated und he it
“Further Resolved, that said moneys
shall he paid out only after a properly
itemized account of such expenditures,
made and verified by the sheriff of said
county shall have been audited and
checked by the committee of this board
on sheriff's and justices’ claims and a
proper voucher therefor made by the
county clerk of said county, and be it
“Further Resolved, that any part or
portion of the money so appropriated
and not used or needed for the purpose
ns set forth on or before the date of

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES
FIFTY YEARS AGO
Died—At the residence f Win. F.
Snyder, Kaq., in Manitowoc, on the
19th day of September, 18(i!) Frank it.,
infant son of Don A. and Louisa Shove,
aged I year and .‘t days.
Again has the angel of death laid his
icy hand upon a child's heart-taking
from a kind father the lust of his little
family. Not one year ago we recorded
the death of Mrs. Shove and now we
know that the little sufferer is free
from pain, in the arms of his Guardian
Angel mother.
Mr. Huntley, who for the last two
years resided among us as pastor of
the Methodist church, is about to leave
Manitowoc and take up his residence
at Palmyra, Jefferson county, in this
state, at which place we believe he has
formerly resided.
Mr. Huntley has made hosts of
friends in Manitowoc, who, while re
gretting his departure, will follow him
with their best wishes for his prosper
ity and happiness.
We call the attention of our readers
to the changes made in the premium
list for the fair, being mostly in rela
tion to stock. Also the executive com
mittee, have decided to reduce the en
tree fee upon all articles drawing a first
premium of only $1 to 25 cents. This
change will enable all parties having
small articles to exhibit, to enter the
same for a premium at such a price
that all may hope to lose nothing by
bringing these articles to the fair.
We publish today the calls for the
convention to be held in the different
assembly districts of this county. We
hope that Democrats in the county will
see to it, that only the best of men are
placed in nomination at their conven
tion. Men against whom no charges
of dishonesty, or disqualification can be
made. There are plenty of good men to
till the offices of the county, and if bad
men are nominated by our conventions,
then we shall not lie disappointed, or
displeased, to see them beaten.
Let Democrats who have the success
of the party, and the good of the
country at heart, see to this thing in
time.
The large and beautiful church at
Maple Grove is now being rapidly
pushed to completion, the walls being
at the present writing over ten feel
high, and the brick work of the sacristy
nearly completed. This church is lo
cated in the town of Maple Grove, in
this county, and is being built by the
Catholics in that part of the county,
under the supervision of the Rev.
Father Mahoney.
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
Mrs. Eleanor Smith of Gibson died
on the 22nd isnt. She was burn at
.larrow, Durham county, England, in
1818 and came to Gibson in May 1855.
Henry Slol/.e is the most active poli
tician in the county these days. Henry
is a candidate for a state office on the
populist ticket, but it isn't election he
desires as much as to have the popu
lists make a good showing in this
county.
At the.meeting held on Saturday last
to organize a democratic club, Hon.
Joseph Vilas was elected president;
Fred Hinrichs recording secretary;
Joseph Schneider assistant secretary,
and John Nagle corresponding secre
tary. A committee was appointed to
select a treasurer and an executive
committee. The next meeting of the
club will he held at the courthouse on
Saturday evening, September 2!).

As will be noticed by a card publish
ed elsewhere, G. M. Morrissey, who
was nominated for superintendent of
schools by the republican convention,
refused to accept it. He does not be
lievc in partisanship in connection with
the office, Iml being a candidate for Un
democratic nomination be does not
think it honorable to accept a nomina
tion from another party.
The case against T. C. Shove which
was to come up this week was post
poned on account of the sickness of
the principal attorney employed hy Mr.
Shove, Kenjarnin Goldhery of Clinton
ville. The case is not put over the
term, but as it will occupy at least two
weeks and the Kewaunee term begins
October 15, it will probably not be
tried until some time in November, and
then at a special term. The attorneys
prosecuting the case, John Chloupek
and A. J. Schmitz, were strenuous in
demanding immediate trial, but this
could not he granted when the leading
lawyer of the defense could not be
present,
Ed. Hubbard was in the city this
week. He came here to take his fam
ily to Pittsburg.
|NELSON TELLS WAR EXPERIENCE
Maj. Carrol Nelson before leaving to
take up his duties as principal of the
high school at Chippewa Falls gave
talks to the high school students here
on his experiences in the war. He had
to give it twice in order that all could
hear him who wanted to. He told of
meeting the King of England, Marshal
Haig and General Pershing. The king
was at an officers’ dinner and had left
but ten minutes when German airmen
informed of his presence bombed the
place and killed many officers and put
Maj. Nelson in the hospital for a spell.
He related many personal incidents
and threw sidelights on the big affair
that gave many of the students anew
viewpoint. Maj. Nelson is not only a
close observer but has the faculty of
realistic word portrayal, and he made
the talks intensely interesting.

EVERYBODY'S DOING IT.
(liy J. E. IONICS)
Let’s all strike! The policemen have
been at it in lloston; and the cub re
porters of New Haven whose jobs, or
dinarily, aren’t worth a picayune, have
been slacking pens and asserting their
rights. Actors and actresses recently
joined the proletariat movement and
brought the tyrant managers to time.
A delegation of red eyed agitators out
in Seattle gave their orders, first band
to the President, while he was there;
and they, like the railroad brother
hoods, in their talk to Congress, said in
substance: “lie quick about things,
Mr. Government, or war’ll tie up the in
dustries of the country with strikes.”
"Who said so?” dissents American
Citi/.cn questioning!).
"Sam Gompers," is the answer. And
Sam, with bis line organization, is the
biggest single listed man in the United
Stales. Senator Myers warns that the
success of his program in organizing
policemen will extend to the alliliation
of the army and navy with the Ameri
can Federation id' Labor. And the Sen
ator is not lonesome in the holding of
these views.
Whenever Secretary of Labor Wil
son goes out to make a speech one
might almost suspect that be was press
agenting for Sam Gompers. While the
Secretary is sane enough with refer
ence to the basic differences between
labor and capital, still it is apparent
that bis department is very partisan,
and its attitude towards the conditions
of unrest are, to say the least, not dis
couraging to those "educated geniuses"
outside the agitator's ranks whose in
flamalory modes of speech suggest the
thought that they could perform a
patriotic duly to their country by hold
ing their tongue.
Socialism appears to he digging its
own grave as a distinctive doctrine,
and seeks to hide its identity while its
plans are being sponsored, officially,
and unofficially, by the very men who
protest that they hate it.
NUMBER 13
CAR HUS A LATERAL DEPRESSION
The city lias been putting in water
and sewer laterals all over town and
the replaced ground is not always
flooded and properly tumped, soon re
sulting in a depression, t’arl Protz of
the Tinsel Manufacturing company hit
one of these cross trenches a fool deep
this week. His car was going pretty
fast, hut it stopped right, there with
out materially improving its condition.
There was a broken wheel, a bent
axle and a lot of minor troubles. Now,
it is said, the city faces a suit, not to
test whether a city is liable for defec
tive streets, a proposition nobody de
nies, but to determine probably wheth
er the city is chargeable with knowl
edge of this particular defect and inci
dentally whether the driver was suf
ficiently careful.
THE STRIKE AT TWO RIVERS.
A conference between the strikers
and the employers of this city w as held
last Thursday morning, out no agree
ment was reached and the men are still
out. No statement has been issued by
the manufacturers and the shops will
remain closed awaiting further devel
opments. The manufacturers remain
firm and refuse to recognise the union.
They have invited the men to return to
work and have agreed to adjust any
differences individually.
Merchants complain that business is
badly affected and it is feared that
business will be demoralised if the
strike continues. Quite a number of
families have already left the city and
men are seeking employment else
where. Strikers have lost $300,000 in
wages thus far, it is said. Two Itivers

Very Few Are.
