4 SEo WBOUED CONDUCTOR,

Capt. Jack, las hs is Familiarity called J, Of
Texicana, Ark, of the I. NJ. boys, arrived in
thislcity on Thursday, the l7th inst, with the
intention of prospecting for early grass on
the old homestead. The following day he
took trip about sixteen miles in the country
to visit relatives. BE reports the roads GO
ing as tclerably good, as he is used to wash
outs in the South, having never (?) failed to
carry his passengers through to destination
on time. He intended to return Saturday,
the day Of the great storm, but didn't, for
obvious reasons. On Monday he started
homeward. but after digging and driving
about mile, he abandoned his team and
driver and struck out vigorously with only
his own locomotion for aid. Evidently he
took way train, for, after trudging about
three miles, he stopped for repairs. Gath
ering forces, he returned for his train, and
succeeded in bringing the horses through to
his last stopping place BY evening. On We'd
nesday he compassed about ten miles more
of the return trip, and arrived In Kenoshs
Thursday morning. He has hardly suffered
himself TO go to sleep since, for visions of
snow of fabulous depth, under which he is
being buried. disturb his slumoers. He left
last Saturday for a more genial cline. where
strawberries are nearly ripe and the early
mosquito Is tuning its Tyre.

BRISTOL CAUCUS.

The following nominations were
made at the caucus held in Bristol on
Saturday. March 26th:
Observation-Disclosures, J. D. F0w-
Ter: ]. NJ. Ward, H. r. Lavey.
Town Clerk--D. A. Sovereign.
Assessor-C. NJ. Bishop.
Treasurer-Jas. Hurd.
Justices of the Peace--Edward Jones,
j. G. Roberts.
Observation-Disclosures Murdoch, s. E.
Hall.
Sealer of Weights and Measures
Dan. Barnum.
The nominations are fair express
sion of the preferences of the voters, and
the gentlemen nominated are capable
and worthy.
The question of a new court house
and Jail was warmly discussed, and
very decided opposition to the measure
was expressed. Mr.. John Lacey was
the first gentleman to take the floor.
In his opinion the $4,000 proposed to
be expended was but the entering
wedge to the taxpayers pocket. Ke-
nosha was proud and ambitious city,
| and would not want to be behind Ra-
cine and Waukegan in the matter of
public buildings, and would enjoy fas-
tening'a burdensome tax on the county.
He said Kenosha had procured the pas.
sage of law ostensibly for the purpose
of bonding the county to build court
house. In his opinion it was but a
cover to saddle the city railroad indebt-
edness on the county.
Mr. j. G. Roberts said the large tax
payers of Kenosha were opposed to
building new court house and only
lawyers were in favor of it, and they
paid no taxes. He thought the old court
house was good enough for lawyers to
shoot off their mouths in. If it was
necessary he was willing to be taxed to
build jail, as he believed in the hu-
name treatment of criminals.
Mr.. H. S. Thorp said he was opposed
to building a new court house. He
thought little paint and few doses
of Whitewash would make the old court
room strong enough to stand all the
litigation we could get into it. AS he
believed his constituents were in favor
of building new Jail, he had favored
that measure on the County Board.
He explained that the action of the
Board in advertising for bids to build
a new court house was to get at the
cost. The proposition to build was de-
feated by a tie vote OF the board. He
was opposed to bonding the county un-
der any circumstances. If twenty
thousand dollars is to be expended for
a rev court house the tax should be
raised on the spot.
Mr. r. F. Roberts was in favor of
building new court house and Jail,
because they were needed the old
building was dilapidated and insult
able for its purposes. He believed if
the taxpayers had a just understanding
of the situation they would all favor
the measure. The people are misled
by silly fears that our County Board
were not capable of making a contract
that would insure the completion of
the building for the sum stipulated
As to the idea that the city of Kenosha
could saddle any part of their railroad
indebtedness on the county, no intelli.
gent man would entertain it, and sug.
gested that the gentleman who advanc
ed the idea did not believe it himself.
Mr.. S. R. Leonard opposed the build.
ing. BE thought there was too much

extravaganza in public buildings. Our
charitable institutions are furnished
with VeiYets, Brussels carpeting and
other luxuries and arts, and on visiting
them one finds on returning to his
howell too great a contrast.
Mr.. G. |. Shumway thought the old
court house was good enough, but was
Wiling to go to the expense of new
jail for the welfare of criminals.
Mr.. c. III. Bishop insisted very
strongly that the county board could
not hold the reins at SEQ, 900, and it was
sure to get away with them. Chicago
was a good deal bigger than Kenosha,
and the contractors had got away with
that city to the extent of million or
two, and it would be just so with our
county board.
The chairman announced that it was
time to go home and milk the cows.
and motion to adjourn was carried. H
