SOAIERS.

The weather is improving, and signs
of an early spring are noticeable.
Farmers are beginning TO look up
their seeds and tools preparatory for
their spring work.
Our country stores are doing fine
business, as it has been impossible to
get to town, most of the time this win
ter. Farmers will find it to their ad-
vantage to do their trading here, as
they get Chicago prices on what they
want to sell, and can buy as cheaply
here as elsewhere.
Business is a little slack at the sta
ton just now, which is probably ow-
ing to bad roads. Although the enter
prising firm of Hughes Bros. shipped
six cars Of hay last week, and loaded
three cars to-day.
MI. Rhicards, of Bristol, has been
among us, making preparations for
starting cheese factory here the com
ing summer. We hope he may be SUI
cessful.
Mr.. Alex. Spence anticipates build
ing a barn this Spring.
The school in Dist. No. 5, closed last
Friday, having vacation Of foL1
weeks. Miss Lily Moss, Of Racine
teacher. No. 1, closes this week.
One week from next Friday eve
ming, March 15th,) there will be fes
tival at the Town Hall, (Somers,) fol
the benefit of our Base Ball Club. The
boys expect to do some ball-playint
this season, and want to appear in new
uniforms. The tickets will be at tht
low price of so cents each, with peach
es, ice cream, candy and nuts, as ex
tras. We hope to see a good numbe-
present, as arrangements will be made
for a good time. Con-.

OPERA HOUsE.-Certain parties
have taken exceptions to a paragraph
that appeared in this paper last week
concerning an opera house. We have
no intention of disparaging the public
halls of our city, the proprietors of
which have shown commendable en-
terprise in fitting them up and keeping
them in a neat condition. But we on
ly express the sentiments Of the entire
community, when we say that an OPP
era house constructed on approved sci
entifc principles, with convenient
methods of egress in case Of accidents,
is something much needed in Kenosha.
Appropriate stages are now essential
to the proper representation of dramat-
ic productions, and without which,
modern plays lose much of their effect
iveness. The halls Of Kenosha are
good as far as they go, but we think
even our critics will admit, that til ere
is ample room for improvement.

citizens, living and deceased, together
with the accounts Of their forensic bat

At Kimball Hall last Tuesday eve
ming, Col. J. FL. Howe lectured on the
character Of the Earl Of Salisbury
to large and Intelligent audience.
The lecture was one Of the best that
has been delivered here this season
and was delivered in Col. Howe's usual
happy style. The speaker drew a
vivid picture of English life and
manners during the Protectorate, and
the reign of Charles H., interspersed
with many of his own moral or philo
sophical deductions. It is safe to say
that another lecture by this able speak

effect Of drawing q full house.

G.. II. HOLT.

born in the Town of Pleasant Prairie,
Kenosha Co. Wis, April q, 1910, and
died Feb. q, 1878, aged 81 years, 10
months and days.
His early years were spent on the
farm. During the winter of 1850 and
| so, he with his brother Christopher,
attended the WalWorth Co., Institute
at Genoa, a school conducted by al
corps Of teachers, one Of whom is now
preceptress Of the Oshkosh State Nor
NAL school. He remained here until
Spring when he left school, but re-
turned aga n in September and re-
manned during half Of the Fall term,
when he again left and went to the
State University at Madison, where he
remained over a year. While at
school he excelled in his studies, espec-
tally in mathematics, at which he was
an adept. He possessed an excellent
memory which enabled him to retain
facts and observations for q great
length Of time.
After leaving the university he COM
menced teaching. He taught his first
term of school in Dunkirk, Dane CO.
Was employed two terms in the Black
man Dist, Paris, and one in the
Graham Dist, Somers. He afterwards
taught one term in the North Ward
school, Kenosha, and finally obtained
the position Of principal Of the school
at Genoa, which he formerly attended,
and where he remained for one year.
Here he became acquainted with
Miss D. [. Strickland, a teacher in the
Primary Department Of the same
school, when he afterwards married,
April 80, 1854. During this period, he
was noted for his zeal and activity in
the cause Of education, throwing his
whole soul into his school work.
After his marriage he settled on his
farm in Pleasant Prairie, where he
had since remained. Here he showed
the same energy and force which
characterized him elsewhere. He was
model business man and farmer,
and possessed an unusual amount of
good sense on matters in general. He
leaves behind him one of the best, il
not the best, dairy farms in Kenosha
Co., in point Of stock, buildings and
farm machinery. In the matter Of
farm improvements, he was an &C,
knoWledged leader and his advice was
much sought by his neighbors and
others.
For the last six years he held the
position Of clerk Of school Dist. No 2,
Pleasant Prairie, and during his term
of Office there was a manifest improve
ment, both in the interest taken and
the kind of teachers employed.
He became professor Of religion in
1876, and united with the Pleasant
Prairie M. E. church, being admitted
to full membership the next year. Soon
afterwards he took charge Of the Sab
bath school, and made one of the most
able superintendent known, as those
who were workers under him will bear
witness. His death is a great loss,
both to the Church and Sabbath school,
and to the community in which he
lived. He leaves wife, two children,
and large circle Of relatives to mourn
his loss.
The funeral, which was largely at
tended, took place at his late residence,
Friday, March 1st, the body being bur-
led in the cemetery at Kenosha. B.

him by counsel, and does it in a
pointed manner, he il almost inVari-
ably rebuked by his interviewer with
more or less lofty scorn. MI. Redon,
the Democratic candidate for the
House from the Tenth Ward, has
thus offended and been rebuked.
He is singled out for a little private
lecture, and dismissed with the con-
selling remark that he g ought to be
'sot down on by his ward"
So far as questions relating to
monopolies in general are concerned,
most of the answers obtained by the
reporters of the Democrat appear to
be satisfactory to that journal, un-
less we may except Mr.. .Redon, who
wants to carry reform step too far.
But when it comes to abolishing the
existing monopolies of Lottery, Gas,
Water, Wharyes, Slaughtering, ETC.,
nearly every one who answered
hedges on his constituents. Mr..
Benners, of the Third Ward, says
81 have been selected from the
people by the people to represent
thems and will do whatever Their
interests demands" ..-
This is polite way of telling the
Democrat that Mr.. Benners expects
to be elected, if at all, by his neigh.
bors in the Third Ward, and not by
the editors of the Democrat, and that
his duty belongs solely to those who
elect him, and he is not responsible
either before or after the election tx
anybody else.
If the parish convention had beer
called together to select employees
for the official journal, then its inter,
rogatOries would have some weight
but as entirely different considera
tons were involved, we do not Sc,
the sense in making every candidate
pass under the lottery measure with
out reference to anything else. 1
looks as though somebody has {
monOmania.

virtually retired from the contest,
but hold themselves as a reserve
force, ready to assist that ticket or
those candidates in the next election
that they shah deem the least inim-
ical to their principles and interests.
Under these circumstances, very
many of the best men who lately
acted with the Democrats against
the Republicans have determined to
make another attempt to. J" redeem
Louisiana" This poor State is con-
stantly falling into such sorry con-
dition as to require the heroic efforts
of somebody to extricate her.
Never, within the past twenty-five
years, if indeed at any time, has
this State been in such a wretched
plight as now. Democracy, bigotry,
poverty, intolerance, selfshnessa
bestride the whole State and city
like a night mare. The State Treas
ury is empty, and in debt even on its
interest fund. The city can neither
collect nor pay anything. The
wharves, markets, waterWorks have
been absolutely turned over to afew
preferred creditors, and what little
money it is possible to get into the
Treasury is devoted mainly to boil
STEERING up the premium bond lottery.
For some of the details of short
comings in the city administration,
the reader is referred to the arraign-
ment presented by DR., Brickell
and published in another column.
The doctor is a famous petroleum
Democrat, who is to the extent of
his ability responsible for the very
condition of things he now rails
against. We do not know or care
VIII ether he is Red Warrior or not.
He may or may not be National.
Of this we are sure, however, he
was lately ramping Democrat, and
lie now dissatisfied. How many more
of the loud mouthed reformers OF
two or three years ago are equally
filed with gall and bitterness, we
do not know, but probably there are
enough to make up a very formida-
BILE tribe of Red Warriors.

FINISHING TOUCHES.

The New Orleans Democrat did
not have mnch of q hand in making
parish nominations, but it is deter.
mined to play a conspicuous part in
putting on the finishing touches to
the candidates. The somewhat hack
neyed process Of interviewing is re-
sorted to for the purpose of finding
out how the nominees. of its party
stand on political questions gener-
ally and the Lottery business psrticu-
larry. Nearly all tthoselwho submit
to the pumping prOcessdeclare theme
selves opposed to all monopolies,
which may be understood asipIedg-
ing them against voting charters for
another slaughter house company,
gas light company lottery company,
water works company, or any rival
to the mOnOpOlies already chartered
and in operation. One candidate
goes still further indhis answers than
