THE F4FMERS NETTING

Ameeting of the Kenosha County Farmers
Society was held on Thursday, Nov. 18th. in
the parlor Of the Lucas House, Pleasant Prai-
RE. In the absence Of & mine host" Mrs.
Lucas, our hostess, gave the members cor
dial reception, and every attention was paid
to the comfort of her guests. A substantial
and abundant dinner was placed on the
table, to which the members showed due APP
probation
After dinner an adjournment was taken to
he parlor and the meeting was called to or
der by the President, A. s. Barber, Of Salem.
The minutes of the previous meeting were
read. An informal discussion was had on
the condition and future prospects of the Ke
nosha County agricultural Society. The fol-
lowing facts were stated The Society pays
annually rent Of $3.50 for the use of the
grounds during the fair. The owner of the
grounds has stalls which he rents in compe-
tition with those owned by the Society, thus
reducing its revenue. The Society is in debt
$l1OO, secured on its buildings The note
at ten per cent interest is held by Mr.. Ed
ward Balm, who this year reduces the inter-
est to eight per cent.
A feature felt to be great hindrance to
the prosperity Of the Society is the bad ar
rangements Of the buildings and grounds
The cattle are SO distant from the horses that
people are wearied and disguised in travel
ing from the extreme of the cattle sheds to
The other extreme Of the horse sheds, and
The pleasure of seeing the animals is thus
greatly lessened if not wholly destroyed The
different departments are so widely separated
hat though there may be large number of
people on the grounds they are so scattered
We have no crowd, and never enjoy the enthu-
siasm and magnetism that always springs
from massing the people together
Mr.. ~. Clapp. ofKenosha, gave his views
IN paper which he read On motion Of Mr..
J. NJ. Kellogg, the meeting unanimously
voted to request its publication in the county
papers. Further discussion was had, which
IS impossible to give in detail. There was no
difference of opinion as to the view that the
difficulties existing must be removed, as the
Society could no longer struggle under them.
# there be no alternative the Society will
lie. future time and more favorable cir
,umstances may call a similar organization
INTO existence. A further discussion will be
aad at the next meeting. 1t was voted to
.djourn to 1890 A. NJ. of Thursday, Dec. 9,
II Salem Station.

Racine NEWS.

Racine is having an artesian well
bored on Market square.
At the inquest on the body of George
Dressed the jury returned the following
verdict That deceased came to his
death by the hand Of some person OF
persons unknown, and that his body
was then thrown into the river
The common council Of Racine have
adopted plans and specifications for the
construction Of a yiaduct on Sixth
street, and the city clerk is instructed
to advertise for bids. The Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. p. II. R. co. will as
sist in constructing the yiaduct, as their
road crosses the ravine. The vladuct
is to afford passage for a small stream
and allow the filing up of an ugly and
inconvenient rayine. This will save
the expense of bridges and tressle work,
and will give additional room for build
ing on in a rapidly growing part of The
city.

FREE KINDERGARTEN.

The subject of free kindergarten, already
mentioned in the city papers, is still one Of
Che deepest interest to those best acquainted
with the merits of such benevolence. It in
wolves not only material care for exterior ne
cessities, but provides for the most watohful
prevention Of wrcng-doing by supplying
constant occupation for minds and hands.
It develops to wonderful extent systematic
executive ability, leads to a love of industrial
pursuits, cultivates the sense of symmetry
and beauty, and by its social relations, con-
trolled by gentleness, unselfshness and love,
strengthens and almost terminates the better
qualities of soul. If any one doubts the ra-
atty of such results, the testimony of any in
telligent patron Of q true kindergarten will
come to the rescue. If any one doubts it, lei
him, unparalleled, visit such Kindergarten
half-dozen times and his doubt will be
swept away. If then it be of such great
value to the training Of children from homes
Of culture and comfort, what must it be t
the little ones Swallowed and chilled by pov
erty and want? The andisputed word comes
from every place where this work has beer
done. that it brings look Of health ani
brightness to faces that before were Punched
and sour, sunshine and joy to hearts that had
shriveled in the dark, neatness and dext erity
in useful occupation to hands that had oull
known mischief or idleness: in fact, it is abl
to again stamp the image of God in the soul
where it had been almost blotted out. It i
able to make the kind, industrious, stuliou
boy or girl of nine years out Of the embroy'
tramp and prostitute Of four.
/ Such results have led men and women t
devote their lives and fortunes to this work

The suggestion has behind it no priyat
money making scheme. It is q work full Q
sacrifice of self in every way, a work int
which no one enters heartily save thrOug
great faith in it, and genuine love for HI
manity.
| Very kind responses have been made q
ready to requests in behalf of the enterpris
but not sufficient to warrant further measul
being taken.

! On Tuesday evening last Mr. EIrick
G. Cole, son Of A. G. Coils, Esq, of this
city, was united in marriage with Miss
Minnie Webb, at the residence OF the
bride in La Crosse. Mr.. Cole grew up
in our city, was educated in our school,
read law in his fathers Office, and was
admitted to the bar in this circuit. He
was appointed by the Judge as Clerk
of the Circuit to fill out the term of L.
B. Nichols, who resigned, and perform
ed his duties with signal ability. At
the close of his term, he,with his broth
er, settled in Great Bend, Kansas, and
opened Law Office there in the winter
of 1878. Even in the short time that
has elapsed, the Cole Brothers have es-
tablished themselves in a lucrative
business, and have achieved a reputa-
ton as lawyers, not only in the vicinity
In which they reside, but in the SUI
preme Court of the State. They took
an active part in the campaign, espous-
ing the cause on the Republican side.
We are glad of the opportunity to con-
graduate Mr.. Cole on his success. We
are further glad TO congratulate him on
his new relations, and to welcome him
into the army Of Benedicts. We con-
graduate him on behalf of his bride,
because we know that his taste and
judgment would suggest to him only
the woman that was worthy Of his af-
fections. We congratulate his wife on
having secured the affections of so
good husband, and wish them both
all the happiness that can possibly grow
out Of the marriage relation.

The Dead Conductor.

Julius s. Bacon, the conductor killed on the Valley road Tuesday, was native of Mid dletown, WestfeId society and well known to the older citizens: He lived in Middletown until the Valley road commenced running, and has been in the company's employ ever since He was for number of years baggage master on Conductor Holman's train, but sub- seqnently he was promoted conductor and ran the early up train from Saybrook. He was steady, industrious man, always at his post and had the confidence, in great de- gree of the officers of the company. His sad taking off will be deeply regretted by all. Mr.
 Bacon was son of the late Benjamin Bacon and nephew of Ebenezer Bacon. He was about 5S years of age and leaves wife and a daughter 19 years old.

 Vast crowds surround the spot discussing the accident and gazing on the 1aborers who continue work by electric lights. Superin- tendent Anderson explained how work will be carried on. Heavy timbers which have been placed over the mouth of the shaft wereto be the support of an Andrews rotary pump with capacity of l, 200 gallons per minute. This was to be connected with the angine and gradually lowered as the water was pumped out. When the bottom of the shaft is reached 6 pump of the same description now sub merged will be brought into requisitlon, and also piston pump.
 He was of the opinion that three would dry the shaft and tunnel at an early hour to- morrow morning. He expected to begin pumping at midnight, and if he could gain on the inflow of water he ought to recover the bodies some time during the day. If the present appliances fail now, the coffer dam would be sunk to the level of the tunnel, and then they would be dug out. It would take a week or ten days to sink the coffer dam, he added. If they succeeded in drying the shaft by means of the pump hydraulic power would be used to open the door of the tunnel behind, where the men were suffiocated At 10 o'clock the pump was in position and the work began. At midnight but little headway had been
