making some minor requests, she devised and
bequeathed the remainder of her estate to COM

March, 1875; that the will was taken possession
OF by defendant, at whose house Mrs. Elchler
died, and was by her destroyed; that the con-

complainant, were, that Mrs. Eichler was the
second wife OF Mr. Christian Letmate, complain

MONEY is WHAT COUNTS-TWO PROP
osITIoNs ON THE STATE OF INDIANA.
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Sept 25.-To the
Editor of the South Bend Register: I
notice by an article on the editorial
page of Saturdays Herald that a GER
tain Democrat is betting that Landers
will be elected in October, and that
Gen. Hancock will carry Indiana in
November by 10000 majority. have
never bet dollar on an election in my
life; but, if there are any Democrats
in this city who feel confidence like
that mentioned in the foregoing, and
who are charitably inclined, I will ac-
commodate them in the following
manner:
I will deposit $500 in the First Ma
tional Bank against an equal amount
to be deposited there by him, with the
understanding that if Landers shall be
elected my $500 is to be paid into the
poor fund Of our city, he to draw his
money. If Porter shall be elected his
$500 goes to the poor fund, and Twill
draw my $500. Also, / will deposit
$500 more at the same time and place,
against like amount to be deposited
there by the party in question, with
the further understanding that, if Han.
cock carries Indiana by 10000 major.
ity, my second $500 shall be made over
to the city poor fund, my opponent
drawing his; and, if Hancock fails to
get this majority, his second $500 shall
go to the poor fund, and mine shall be
returned.
will hold this offer open for five
days, Very respectfully,
P. E. STUDEBAKER.

HOW A DEMOCRAT RUSHED OFF
AND SOLD HIS GOVERNMENT
BONDS.

One fact is worth more than thou
sand windy speeches. There IS prom
lnent and jealous Democrat in this
city who has been particularly vocifer-
Gus in advocating the election Of Gen
eral Hancock. He did not expect a
Democratic victory in Maine, he said /:
but counselled everybody to wait for
the vote of Indiana. On Tuesday
morning, as soon as possible after hear
ing the unexpected news of a so-called
Democratic victory in Maine, he went
down to his bankers and gave orders
to sell quietly, and did sell at once. fif-
ty thousand dollars worth of United
States four-per-cent bonds. While
boasting that the election of General
Hancock was now assured, he was
proving what he privately thought of
the consequences by selling out his
Government bonds; and he was right.
The bankers and business men of this
city were of his opinion. The price
dropped three-eighths of one per cent
during the day although as yet the re-
suit in Maine was uncertain, and few
failed to see that the fusion which ex-
listed there did not exist in other states.
In London, also, a decline in the price
OF American Government bonds was
at once produced by the same fear of

tributes member who is in every way
entitled to rank with the brigadiers.
One newspaper i'll the North to dis
courage enlistments and incite draft
riots during the war was worth at least
brigade to the rebels. Therefore the
Democrats of this district have right
to insist that Deuster shall have as high
honor in the Confederate Congress as
any brigadier. 1t may not be too late
to bestow ON him the title of General
which he certainly won by his efforts
in behalf Of the Confederacy. If he
will send marked copies of this paper,
which contains extracts from his war
articles, to the brigadiers, they will nc
doubt refer to him hereafter as Gen

My experience in the office of Secre-
tary of the Kenosha County Agricul-
tural Society, though brief, will al
ways be fruitful of pleasant memories.
l have now higher opinion of human
nature than [ ever had before, and
this exalted opinion will, to the end of
my days, prove source Of happiness.
My duties brought me in contact with
many noble men and women, who
seemed to love to sacrifice their time
and labor for the public good. They
unselfshly labored for days to promote
the success of the fair, without expect
ing to receive even the thanks of those
for whose benefit they labored, and
with no hope of reward, except for the
consciousness of having labored for
the good of others. DR.. A. l.. Farr,
on moments notice, took the position
of superintendent of the Hall, which
the regularly appointed superintendent
was regretfully unable to fill, and with
the efficient assistance of Mrs. A. G..
Sinclair, Miss Minnie Martin and Miss
S. Forsyth, the large number of arti-
cles in the ladies department, both
fancy and domestic, together with the
paintings and other works of art, were
soon beautifully arranged, and the
display made. The value and merit of
the articles would do credit to any ex-
hibition. Mr.. William COTE, with the
weight of more than three-score years
upon him, was promptly at his post,
receiving with warm welcome each
one who brought the goodly products
of field and garden to the fair, and
was active in assisting to get them in
to their places. Mr.. Stephen Calf, who
for many years has been superintend-
ent of the horticultural department,
worked on as unset fishly and efficiently
as ever. Mr.. George F. Leet, the SUI
p erintendent of the horse department
put in four days of the seyerest labor
for the success of the fair. Want OF
space will not permit us to mention
many others who modestly labored to
make this important institution sue
cess in promoting the entire industrial
interests and civilization and art in
Kenosha county. There was, we re-
greet to say, some plumbers and failures.
Some of our superintendent failed to
fill their places, and exhibitors found
no one to assist them or assign articles
or animals their places. In the hustle
of preparation at the fair there is nei-
ther time nor opportunity to remedy
defects and failures. My inexperience

HANCOCK as A CROW.s
From the Mil,uaatkee Sentinel.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-The follow.
ing is a private letter sent from a rep-
resentative Southern politician to a
Connecticut friend soon after the nom.
ination of Hancock: eff we swallow
Hancock and his Northern shoulder
straps little more gracefully than we
did Greeley in 1872, it is not that we
love crow better, or detest it less now
than then, but by reason of determin.
alton, which we have never faltered in
from the beginning, and which we
have got to stick to till we win. That
Hancock is "crow" to Southern sol.
diers and id cold crow" too, is not
to be denied, but you are right in sup
posing that we shall swallow him with
out grimace. = = You NAV be
sure that even our "boiled crow" will
net us something handsome before we
are through with it. It has already
in a negative way, and it will in pos.
tive. [ am willing to stake my repu.
tation for political sagacity on the pre-.
diction that the nomination of Han.
cock is the last dish of crow, cold or
hot, which a Democratic National Con.
vention will serve up in a Presidential
campaign to us of the South. What.
ever may be the result of the campaign
the Democratic Convention of 1884. if
such there be, will listen to something
more potential than a mere "omen'
from the representatives of the South.
The "crow" will then be ladled in a
Northern spoon to Northern lips, and
its initials will be J. @. A. Lamar"

The proper ventilation and heating
Of our school houses does not receive
the attention its great Importance mer-
its. Nearly all our country school
houses are heated by wood stoves.
During winter nights the school house
becomes as cold as the prevailing tenn
perature. In the morning the fire is
started barely in time to warm the up
per air. In severe weather the floor
remains cold all day. The result is,
especially with the little ones, cold feet,
hot heads, headache and lassitude, and
the scholar is incapacitated for vigor-
Gus study. By the use of coal stoves,
and allowing the fire to burn slowly
during the night, the floor would be
prevented from getting cold. Our new
school houses are built tight and
warm" but have no ventilating ar
rangements except by opening win
dows. This frequently causes colds
in scholars sitting near them. Teach
ers should see that the air is thorough
ly changed during the recesses Of
school by opening doors and windows.

PUBLISHERS NOTICE.

There is a ring in KenOsha anxious
ly waiting for the TELEGRAPH to die.
Carpet bag talent has been imported
under the guise of running the sole Re-
publican journal of Kenosha, but real
ly and truly to champion selfish,
arrogant clique. A bonus of $500 in
cash has been paid this carpet-bag firm,
and Charles Frantz's place in the Post
Office is the glittering bait Of the flu
ture. The 5000 will, with an OCCASION
al subscription, serve to live on while
anxiously waiting with hands in peck
cts for something to turn up, for in
stance the toes of the TELEGRAPH.
The TELEGRAPH and UNION are both
printed under the same management,
saving the expense of a foreman and
other help, and the money saved we
propose to expend in enhancing the
value of the TELEGRAPH and pushing
its circulation. No carpet-bag concern
can possibly compete with us, especial
ly one that gets nearly its entire paper
printed in Milwaukee. We have spar
ed no reasonable expense in securing
sound, reliable and able editorial talent
for the TELEGRAPH, and we shall
spare neither pains snor expense to
make it worthy of the largest patron.
age of Republicans and of the general
public as we propose to make it not
only the Republican newspaper, but
the equal of the best local newspapers
printed in Kenosha or any other cOun'
