Special Meeting Of County Board

Special Meeting or county B00TO
A petition has been in circulation
among the members, calling for an extra
session of tho Board of Supervisors, May
Slst, and it is generally understood that
a majority have signed in favor Of
holding it. 1t is set forth that this spe-
cial gathering is made necessary in order
to provide for the building of cistern,t to
arrange for the identifying and improve
ment of the Court House park, repairs to
the county Jail and the purchase of coal
for the coming winter. According to
authorities on the subject the cistern can
be built without any extra session of the
board, the court house park will do for
the present year, and no saving to the
county can be gained by contracting coal
at the present prices. The extra session
cannot be held short of an outlay of from
$500 to $500 to the county and that all the
most provident members expect to save to
the county by contracting coal now is
about $4,000. An expenditure of $500
to save $50, is not wisdom nor justice
to the taxpayers.

.Atte1aDt at WrecEi7tg

A bold attempt was made last Saturday
to wreck the 1890 A. M. passenger train
going east on the Chicago Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railway between Minnesota
Junction and Horizon. A rail had been
placed lengthwise on the track rail, and
stones and other distractions thrown on
on the ties. The engineer fortunately
saw the danger in time to lessen the
speed, and the train was stopped just as
the forward trucks of the engine struck
the obstruction. When the train came
to stop two boys were seen to run scross
the fields, and chase was given them by
Conductor Castle and his train men.
The boys were fred upon and soon cane
to halt, fearing bodily injury if they
persisted in futher fight. They proved
to be two brothers living in the vicinity,
aged respectively Is and IL years. The
youthful offenders were taken to Horizon
for safe keeping. No reason is assigned
for the act and whether done for sport or
with the idea of causing an accident does
not transpire. ar
The Wool MARKET.-The wool mar
ket is about to open here, and as mat
ter of interest to wool growers and wool
buyers we publish the following from
circular issued last week by Gray, Dewey,

ers of Boston: "The season is close upon
us for shearing the new wool clip your
state and the question "What shall be
paid for the woods and have profit left"
is now being generally discussed: Our
present market warrants us in saying
the woods of Michigan& Wisconsin should
be bought for % and 3octs., the latter
price for the choicest clips. At these
prices, if proper discounts are obtained
on unconditional feeces, we think there
would be fair margin of profit to ship
pers. We do not see anything in the
near future to encourage the hope of
higher prices being paid with safety.
We advise our friends, however, to not
get excited this season; there is yet
large amount of Foreign wool to be dis
posed of and it is strong factor in re-
gulating prices of Domestic feeces'

CHICAGO CLUB CONCERT con-
cert of the Chicago Musical Club, Mon
day evening, at Turner Hall, was fine
affair. The attendance was fair, but not
nearly as large as should have been ex-
pected for an entertainment of such mer-
it. Miss Fidelia Densmore, the soprano,
bore off large share of the laurels Of
the evening, rendering her selections with
that force, expression and sweetness that
stamps her as among the leading vocalists
of the day. Henry Schoenfeld, touched
the keys of the piano as if by a magnet
ic hand, proving himself a musician of
no ordinary ability. Carl Becker was en-
chanting with the violin and handled his
bow in such a way as to be compared only
with artists of the Remenyi, Bull and
Wilhelmj type. With the violoncello,
Adolph Liesegang was magnificent and
enraptured the audience with the beau
ty of his playing. Taken altogether a
finer musical entertainment was never
listened to in this city. We only regret
that larger audience did not greet the
club. Yhey certainly deserved crowded
house. '
