MARSCHNER commended Drafting in the Court Room yesterday. Although a respectable crowd of spectators was present, there was no feeling and but very little interest manifested in the operation - the crowd undoubtedly thinking it was one thing to draft a man, and another thing to catch him. It is nearly impossible to get the names correct, as they are principally German and Bohemian, but we give them as nearly as we can. Up to the hour of going to press the following persons had been Drafted from the towns mentioned.

JANUARY 18, 1894 It is said that no one ever saw a dead mule. Dead mules and ghosts are placed in the same category, as creatures of the imagination, and yet Fred Haukohl is bold enough to assert that he has seen two of them within a week. They were owned by John Schreihardt; one died a natural death and the other broke his neck while attempting to roll over. It is unnecessary to state that Fred finds but few people that believe the story. ****** Gus MEINHARDT of Centreville sold his farm of 80 acres for $4,700. He is going to leave the country. This will be cheering news to John CHLOUPEK. ****** Wm. KELLEY of Newton gets 250 lbs. of milk every second day from 7 cows. So he says himself. Put him on the program for a farmers' institute.
Manitowoc Pilot, March 8, 1894, Page 2 Column 6 Meeme. Meeme still maintains her prestige in educational matters. The teachers meeting last Saturday reminded one of old times in the matter of attendance. Manitowoc Pilot, March 8, 1894, Page 2 Column 6 Rev. Father Norton succeeded in organizing another temperance society last Sunday. An effort will also be made to reopen the library which has been closed for some time. Manitowoc Pilot, March 8, 1894, Page 2 Column 6 ------------------------------ Notes from Mishicott Miss Ida Pelkey has gone to Oconto for a short stay. Mr. Ernst Pfingsten has changed his horse for a team. Mr. A. Manheimer of Manitowoc was in the village Tuesday. Mr. Alex Pelkey of Oconto spent a few days in the village last week. Miss Amanda Christiansen of Manitowoc spent Sunday in the village. Mr. Otto Drews spent a day or two in the village last week. Otto has not visited his old chums here for some time and they were all glad to see him. Another dwelling will be added to the hill village during the summer. Mr. Joseph Kadow has purchased a lot from Louis Levenhagen and will build on it during the summer. The entertainment passed off very successfully and pleasantly. All expressed themselves well pleased. Very few people from neighboring cities attended, being restrained doubtless by the poor condition of the roads. As it was, a fair crowd was in attendance and receipts well covered the expenses. It is expected that another entertainment will be given before long. *********************** Marine. Following are the arrivals and departures at this port for February: Propellers, 27; Tonnage, 20,591. Departures, same. Not much work has been done in the shipyard at this place through the winter. The greater part of the work being done on boats this year is on boilers and machinery. The Charlevoix' boiler has been put in the steamer Lawrence. Richards Iron Works is putting in a new engine in the Lotus and one in the Elmer. The tug E.M.B.A. will receive a new deck and house. The City of Green Bay will receive new deck frames and alterations in the cabin. Captain Coates, her master, arrived in the city this week. Work on the Goodrich boats has already commenced and they are being put in shape for the coming season's work. Men are at work on other boats. The Naiad is undergoing extensive repairs. The Amboy has had new steel arches put in. The Burt Barnes has had a new foremast put in. The scow Success is having considerable work done on her. The L.H.Coates is likewise receiving some repairs. ********************** The old county building and the furniture of the offices which could not be used in the new offices was disposed of by auction on Saturday last. The county bid in the building for a $130 and sold it to the County Asylum for $150. This week Supt. Mueller has a gang of his inmates at work tearing down the building and removing the material. The old furniture sold brought to the county $53. The old building being removed is one of the landmarks of the city. It was built in 1860 by Ben Jones. The contract price was $2,800, but with extra work the whole sum reached $5,000. Its removal will greatly improve the appearance of the court house square as shade trees are to be put in next season. ******************* Among Farmers. A cheese factory in the town of Newton was destroyed by fire on Saturday last. "Oshkosh" the famous stallion so well known throughout the county, died at Chilton last week. He is the sire of Cato Boy, the animal which showed such phenomenal speed and bad temper on the track in this city last fall. Charles Meyers of Casco, Kewaunee county, received $321.75 for the butter manufactured by him during two months. He has a farm of 120 acres and keeps 24 cows, [sic] In addition to his receipts for butter he keeps a number of hogs on the skim milk. He spreads manure on his farm every month and estimates that this pays for the labor of caring for his cows. Ex-Governor Hoard in an address at Menominee, Wis., a short time ago, stated that one of his creameries paid a farmer who kept 19 cows, $65 per cow for the season's milk, and that the skim milk was worth $15 more in addition. Carl Pieper, brother of Rev. Mr. Pieper formerly of this city, and editor of the Nordstern offers to pay $10 towards the city poor fund if Mr. Hoard can substantiate his statement that the man referred to made $80 from the milk of each of his cows during the season.
