HOME IMPROVEMENTS.
Special Correspondence ~ The Tribune.
KESosuA, Sept. 30.-The storms of wind and
rain that have so persistently fingered in the
vicinity Of this favored burg for the long period
Of three weeks haye at last "takcn to them
selves wings !" and town sway, let us hope for a
long time. Autumn, with its charm Of golden
hued leaves, lndian-summer weather, and It's
rich harvest Of nuts for the urchins, was fairly
inaugurated Tuesday night by Jack Frost, who
quietly stole march on the city, leaving visi-
bic reminder of his presence in the
blighted appearance of vegetables and
plants that had been allowed to remain
too long in the open air. Now that
the weather is favorable the work of improve
mcnt in our city has been resumed, and early
morning, and even the early hours of evening,
find busy hands at work, that the buildings COM
menced in the summer season may be finished and
ready for occupancy ere cold weather is upon
Mr. Lew Bain's new house on keuosha street is
nearly finished, and many others are far on the
road toward completion. The German Catholic
Society Of the North Side have broken the ground
for new house for their priest and intend to have
it ready for him by the 1st of December. The
house is to be two-story brick vencered building,
to correspond in outward finish with their elegant
new church and school house.
ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT,
too glazing to escape without notice. is the telling
Of ali the grand old oaks in the neighborhood OF
our city park. These old forest trees have been
the pride OF every citizens heart since the city had
an existence and 1t is with feeling Of regret that
they see them laid low 1t is certainly not m I'M
proyement except in so far as it makes the street
wider and less dangerous for tile owners Of the fast
horse flesh, who daily frequent this fashionable
part OF the city for the purpose Of * hibting the
Ane qualities of their respective nags. Still
smother improvement talked Of Is the cutting
Of new street from Chicago street west through
to ann street, either between the lots owned bJ
Eastcrbrooks and Miller on Chicago street., or be-
tween those owned By Waldron and Bnddie. This
latter seems the suitable and desirable, but,
it will cnt off some three feet OF the dwelling
house Of Mrs. Wadron It is open to considcEa-
tion Another new street is talked Of to run north
and south from the east side Of john Frenzs house
on Julius street to connect with the frst-named
street. This il a much-needed Improvement and
the City Fathers will certainly pneh matters when
once decided as to the feasibility Of the proposed
improvement.

should judge, are excellent in quality,

a source of wealth to that locality.

THE ENEMIES OF ex-senator Car
penter have been making superhuman
efforts TO secure his indictment before
the grand jury for complicity with the
whisky frauds. The charge made was,
that Mr.. Carpenter demanded of the
whisky interests $4,000 to aid in his
election to the u. S. Senate. Not a
charge could be substantiated. We
believe no man in the nation has stood
so much virulent abuse as Mr.. Carpen'
ter. He has been the target of his
enemies but he has been not even
wounded by their best shots. We be-
lieve Mr.. G. to be one of the best
men in the nation, as he has been the
best abused man.

CROOKED WHISKY is doing its per,

essary for man to imbibe to fall: he
may fall more rapidly and fall further by
contamination with the crooked stuff
exteriorly, than by imbibing. Will

proprietors of the Globe Democrat, a
man hitherto believed to be above re-
proach, and of great wealth is found
guilty but has not yet received his SEN
tence. In Chicago, Boss Hessing and
Supt, of Police Rhem, and others of
equal responsibility are found among
the goats and will be tried speedily;
ex-Collector Erskine also has beer in
dicted. How far these men are guilty
of intent to defraud the revenue, prob
ably never will be determined. In St.
Louis particularly, the excitement has
assumed the character OF an epidemic
and very innocent man must show
perfectly clean skirts or he is liable tc
be found to have been exceedingly
wicked. We fully endorse Grants IA

that hatred for the Administration or
the part of the people Of the region Of

revenue officers with crooked 1cctifer'
