The concert at the Methodist church
last Sunday evening was good one,

not make a success Of it.

came to the passage, /" Earth to earth,
ashes to ashes, dust to dust" she drop
ped a white cloth upon the coffin, closed
her eyes, and apparently said prayer.
On making inquiries as to the cause
of this proceeding, this lady found that
a superstition exists among the peas
ants in that part, that if person with
sore be taken secretly to a corpse,
the dead hand passed over the sore
place. and the bandage afterward
dropped upon the coffin during the
reading of the burial service, perfect
cure will be the result. This woman
had child who had bad leg, and she
had followed this superstition, with a
firm belief in its efficacy. The peas
ants also, to the present day, as we
have been informed, wear charms, be-
ieying they will protect them from
sickness and other evils.
The wife of the clergyman of the
parish referred to was very charitable
in attending the sick and dispensing
medicines, and one day woman
brought her child, having sore eyes, to
have them charmed" having more
faith in that remedy than in medicines.
8 was greatly surprised to find that
n1nlicines only were given to her.

The County Fair is upon us. The
opening day, Tuesday, Sept. Goth, is a
part Of the regular time, and the Fair
commences in the morning of that day.
The time is short, but crowded full. 1t
would seem as though every provision
possible for the success of the Fair,
financially and as an exhibition Of
county resources, had been made. How
large a turnout there will be it is i'm
possible to say, but it may safely be
presumed that it will be large. Crowd
ed grounds ard unusual enthusiasm is
looked for. The condition of the track
promises to be first-rate, and the rae
ing will be of high order. Those
who enjoy the excitement Of first
class horse race will certainly have
their anticipations fulfilled. The
management do not expect to equal
the Chicago or the Milwaukee exposi-
tions, but to furnish first-class enter
tainment for people who are unwilling
to pay expensive prices or go to con-
siderable distances to see the sights
A large part of the pleasure derived
from these fairs is due to the fact that
they are our own; our horses, our boys
and girls, who make up the crowd; our
churches that have charge of the vic.
tualling departments; our neighbors
and friends that are present; our farm
that has contributed to the attractions.
Come, then, and take part.

COMPLIMENTARY.

The Delavan Republican, in speaking
of the Senatorship, says this of Mr..
Beach
Mr.. Beach, a staunch, able, trusty
farmer of most excellent reputation, a
fine speaker, well posted and unques-
tionably the choice of the farmers Of
the county. But whether the farmers
will leave their crops for the half of
the all-important caucus remains to be
seen. The Republican hopes they will.
They cannot complain that farmers
are not nominated for Office, while they
do not attend the caucus. When they
prove their interest by their works,
then their influence will be felt and
they will be represented. No one who
knows will question the ability and in
tegrity of Mr.. Beach. He is true
Republican, well tried and believed to
possess every requisite qualification in
high degree, but as we intimated be-
fore, the result of the caucus in White.
water will have an almost if not a con-
trolling influence.
1t is the source of great deal OF
satisfaction to numerous of his friends
throughout Wisconsin to know that
Chas. r. Beach, of Whitewater, will
probably be nominated for State Sen
ator in his district. An additional
satisfaction is felt in the fact that his
nomination is equivalent to an election
Mr.. Beach is a man Of the people, in
the truest sense of the term, and il
equally as intelligent representative
and as upright ones are sent to Madison
from all the districts in the State, thu
quality of legislation will be greatly
improved over what it has been lately
In common with thousands of other:
we congratulate the district that will
be represented by Charles r. Beach,

lesser men in making him their repre-
sentative at Madison Fort Atkinson

The outbreak Of Indians in Arizona
continues to have a. threatening look
Numerous rumors of Indian deviltry
perpetrated upon frontier settlers are
afloat. Great fear is entertained for
those who live exposed to the mercy
of these treacherous sayages. Assome
of the rumors are not confirmed, and as
the original outbreak was greatly ex-

these stories are also.

Missouri has experienced another
train robbery, on the Chicago and Alton
Rail road. The train was stopped by
placing distractions on the track and
signaling the train. The train was
boarded, the passengers robbed, the

of the robbers have been captured, and
that there is a prospect of prompt JUS

STRA Y NOTES BYA WAYFARER
THE IRISH TR0IIRI ES

Under the idea that they are helping
the poor of Ireland out of their trouble
money is being sent to the Dynamite
Rosa. There is not a man on earth
that would be madden than Rosa if
the wrongs of ireland were righted,
His occupation would be gone, and he
would have to work or beg. He is
putting back reform by alarming the
property-owners, and if the Tories were
in power they would declare part of
Ireland in rebellion and use force to
put it down. Steady but peaceful agi-
tation will heal all Ireland's wrongs,
but Rosa is strengthening the hands
of his enemies.

THE OLD SETTLERS.

The Old Settlers picnic came off on
the 1st inst, as per notice, and was an
enjoyable affair. Groups of elderly
ladies were calling up again the trials
and pleasures of pioneer life, and
wondering at the change from the time
when they ground wheat in coffee
mill, knew little and cared less about
Mrs. Grundy. Should we spend all
our praise and honor on the Pilgrim
Fathers of Plymouth Rock and ignore
the courage of the pioneers that res
cued from its wilderness Kenosha
county and made it blossom as the
rose? Does the rising generation owe
nothing to the brave mothers who left
the comforts of their Eastern homes
and lived for weeks in newly raised
log houses without doors or windows,
or watched over sick husband, whose
bed was the greensWard and only shell
ter the branches of a tree. Could any
old settler who paid one dollar and a
quarter for his land obtain now price
that would pay him for the chopping,
delving, ditching and fencing he has
done on the land, leaving out all the
waddling through sloughs and wading
of streams, or trials of the pilgrim
mothers. And yet, the law Of compen-
sation was fulfilled. In those days of
trial and self-denial there was sincere
social enjoyment and sympathy that has
vanished with our new state of things.
But let us hope that the committee of
next year will do better for meeting
than was done this year. Things were
left mostly to chance. And let us have
more out than this year. It will do
you good to chat over the days of old.
