BEER DRINKING ON THE NEW
BRIDGE

A local in the TELEGRAPH this week
says: When the first carriage nassad
over the new bridge key of beer
rusks and cheese were distributed from
the carriage to those who would drink
and eat. " 1t does not state who took
the beer, rusks and cheese on to the
bridge to be dealt out to those who
would drink and eat, nor by whose
authority it was done, and we do not
know. Such a disgraceful transaction
deserves more than passing notice.
A large proportion of the people who
nave paid taxes to build the bridge do
not drink beer nor believe in others
drinking it, and no one respecting
their rights, would insult them by TAX
ing beer on the bridge to be drunk by
those who would drink it. Let the
public have the facts, who it was took
beer on the bridge and dealt it out to
those who would drink it, and by
whose authority it was done.

| The harbor has been improved this
season by dredging, docking, repairing
and an extension of the north pier fur
Their into the lake. And further dock
ing this season is contemplated by those
owning property bordering on the
harbor. Some Of the contemplated
docking would have been now COM
pleted, but for the Aldermen refusing
to grant the same right to some that
others have taken in docking SO far
out into the channel The east end Of
the Allen dock is farther out than it
should be; but if it is to remain, why
cannot Others build their docks to cor
respond with it; making a straight
dock to the north approach of the new
! bridge at the first row of piles, leaving
. SO feet between the dock and channel
Give all that wish to dock the same
privilege as Mr.. Allen has, or compel
more space for the channel. This dock
remaining as it is, gives ample room
for all navigation that will be above
Main street bridge for many years to
come. New docking on either side Of
the creek will improve the appearance
of the harbor, and contribute to the
sanitary condition around it. We hope
our honorable Board of Audit will
take the liberal view of this matter,
and not act against the best interest
of the city by preventing private citi-
zens from improving their harbor lots
Encourage Improvements rather than
discourage them. Every dock added
to the harbor, adds more wealth to the
city. Kenosha has struggled long and
hard to succeed and make the city q
prosperous one. The harbor complet-
ed up to Grand street bridge will add
a vast amount of business; then we
shalt witness great prosperity we SO
long have been hoping for. We have
some citizens that have exerted them
selves commercially to improve the
harbor and railroad facilities, and are
rewarded, if not pecuniarily, with the
satisfaction that their effort has not
been in vain. The business of the
harbor has BEEN more, up to the pres
ent time than ever before in one sea-
son. | hope more Of our men who
have means, will lend a helping hand
and make our city q thriving one. It
should and can be made SO. If the
city is liberal, another railway will
give us a branch of their road, thereby
adding another avenue to business, and
if that is done, other business will come
here. Kenosha is favorably located
for all kinds of manufacture as to wa
ter and railway communication. It is
healthy city, has a delightful climate
and pleasant residence locations.

MY DEAR DOCTOR: A few weeks
since [ had conversation with my
janitress as to paralytic brother-in-
law. He was stricken paralytically
two years ago; the right side entirely
paralyzed, including the right arm and
the right leg. He had not earned q
penny during the time; At my request
he purchased and used a bottle of your
Iodide Of Ammonia; before the bottle
was one-half used, he could raise his
arm and control his leg He continued
the application until he had used sec
ond bottle, and is now earning two dol
lars day, and keeps up his work well.
Use this certificate as you please.

Not many months ago party of Bos-
ton gentlemen came to this city and
went on a fishing party. Some Of them
got pretty jolly, one in particular, who,
Selling one of the Goldfish they had
caught, walked up the wharf. He soon
espied veteran fisherman who was
saving wood, and, under the impulse of
tho moment, fetched him a whack
across the face with the Goldfish. In a
moment he was sobered. The generous
impulse Of noble heart throbbed in
his bosom. He felt that he had done a
mean, ungentlemanly act, and he meant
to atone for it then and there. Taking
out $40 bill, he profered it to the vet
eran, saying: "Accept this, and let it
wipe out any recollection of the COW
ardly blow struck you, as I did not
mean to do it, and am very sorry for it. :"
The veteran took the bill, his face
beaming with mingled establishment
and delight, and, making a bow, re-
marked: "See here, stranger, you can
wipe me over the face all day long with
a Goldfish, at $40 lick! I don't bear
you a mite OF ill-will, I don't. rather
like your style. When are you coming
again?" And that settled it.

The Cause Of Whooping Cough.

From the New York Tribune.
Before the Academy of Sciences, re-
Gently, paper was read by DR.. Henry
A, Mott, jr., on "a Fungoid Growth the
Cause of Whooping Cough" The lect-
urer began by saying that the idea is
prevalent that whooping Cough must
run it's course and if broken up, injur-
ious effects result. Authorities differ as
to the nature Of the disease and owing
to the different views taken great va
riety of remedies are prescribed.
In 1871 DR.. Ludwig Letziriek began
microscopic investigation as to the
cause of the disease. He showed fer
the fret time that the phlegm coughed
up in the early stages of the disease
contained eliptical-shaped brownish.red
fungus spores. This discovery gave q
cleW to its true nature, and to new
channel Of treatment. These spores
are lodged by infection under the
tongue where they remain until they
terminate and spread along the sides Of

A Reasoning Cat.
New York Evening Post.

New 1Ofk Evening FOeL
The Riverside Hospital, B!ackwells
Island, is the owner of a cat which has
as hearty hatred of the English spar
row as a lover of our native birds could
wish. She may have no kindlier feel
ing toward the native birds, but certainly
she has had no chance to show it. It
is as strategist, however, that she
merits special mention. 1t has been
the custom there to toss crumbs of
bread to the sparrows every morning.
A few days ago the cat was seen going
along, holding in her mouth a piece of
bread, which she let drop on the walk,
and then withdrew to a clump of grass
near at hand to watch. Soon along
came some sparrows. They spied the
bread which puss had dropped, but their
wrangle over it had scarcely begun be-
fore she had one of them beneath her
claws? Did the cat reason or not?
