A fierce wind storm, mixed with
snow, began on Saturday evening last,
and more disagreeable day than Sun
day last has been seldom seen in this
vicinity. The wind continued through
Monday, and blew with much chillness
on Tuesday. The waves on Lake
Michigan rolled with tremendous force,
flashing the shore with great fury.
Many of the residents near the lake
lost from five to ten feet of their lots
by the wearing away of the lake
They will have less land to cultivate
than last year. The shore of the lake
has been worn away in some places
since the first settlement of the town
not less than thirty rods; streets and
blocks have disappeared, the build
ings having generally been removed
before being washed into the lake.
Further removal of buildings will
probably be required the coming year
to prevent them from being engulfed,
unless the city aids the resident lot
holders to build proper protection.

uttered a solemn warning as follows
5" We have submitted to division of
Republican patronage heretofore, but
IN future wish it distinctly understood
that we stand by our friends. and
those who are not for us will be con-
sldered as against u.s." Our Republi-
can County Treasurer did not scare
and not having the fear of the preten-
tlous organ before his eyes did divide
the patronage of his office, giving the
TELEGRAPH half. Hereupon the
would-be organ last week gave the
Treasurer a pathetic lecture for be-
slowing patronage on the opposition"
or anti-Republican TELEGRAPH, as he
seems pleased to have it inferred. AS
critical as may be the situation of the
Treasurer having fallen under the dis
pleasure of our neighbor, the general
opinion appears to be that he will
suffer no material damage, inasmuch
as he is a considerably older Republic
can than the editor over the way. Be
sides the sin of the Republican County
Treasurer of giving half his patronage
to the Oldest Republican newspaper in
the state will strike most sensible peo-
pie as not particularly wicked.

FASHIONABLE FANClES IN NEW GOODS.
The display windows of our large stores
look most attractive filled with lovely goods
for spring and summer wear. There are
woolens in stripes, checks, and mixtures in
many colors and curious combinations. and
summer silks in checks and stripes, AMI
others with changeable luster. II is def
nitely settled that surahs and brocades will
be equally as fashionable as in seasons past
A grand exhibition of these fabrics was gwen
early in the season by the extensive manufac-
turers, John N. Stearns & CO., and the as
sortrnent of colors and variety in patterns
made most attractive display. They en-
brace all the popular floral designs and geo.

colors is perfect One of the most beauti.
full is the passion flower, and another
fayorlte is the Gala lilly pattern These
come in various new tints, in street ard par

goods is vouchsafed for by ladies all over the
country. They have introduced a new
fabric called Milleraye satin ami Milleraye

The background of these is in changeable
effects, two tones of one color or contrasting

Handsomely brocaded designs are shown in
one piece, while the other gives only the
changeable effect with almost invisible
stripes. These are for combination cos
tumes.
Stearns' surah is the most durable of this
class of goods. They are rich and soft : the
colors being in the most fashionable tints,
drape handsomely as cashmere, and will
never wear out. The extra quality of black
surah will make suitable Dolonaise, trimm-
cd with black lace, to be worn upon any oc-
cosion.

We have received Sherman Hall & Co. 8
annual spring circular to wool growers,
from which the following extracts are made :
Since the commencement of this year the
demand has been very active for all desirable
woods. During January an advance on
choice fine woo's Of about one cent was es-
tablished, and during February and March
fully sustained
There has also, during the past month,
been'an active demand for coarse and quarter
blood woods, and prices are from one 10 two
cents higher ON these woods than in Deeem-
Der, with very light stocks. both here and in
the country tributary to this market.
The quantity Of wool held by the growers
is less at the present time than for several
years.
The woods Of Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota
have met generally with fairly good de-
mand, and the preceding remarks are main.
ly applicable to this class of woods
The woods likely to be in best demand
early the coming season are the strong sta
pie, well grown medium and coarse grades.
For these woods, we look for sharp demand
at the opening of the season, and probably
full and satisfactory prices can be obtained.
We think it advisable for growers of these
woods to ship az soon as shorn
Wool-growers will do well to breed for the
long staple, well grown. medium and low
medium grades. The fine wool breeders
should also breed for long staple fine woods.
The largely increased and improved machine
ry for working these woods, and the large de-
mand for the worsted yarns, indicate that
the demand will continue for this class Of
woods.
Undesirable, bad conditioned, bury, bad.
ly handled, or wool stuffed with tags and
dead pulled, or filled with straw or chat,
are necessarily sold on their merits, as they
cannot be graded with standard grades.
Great care should be taken to have the
wool in the best possible condition for mark
ct. The feeces should be tied when shorn,
using no surplus twine. All tags, dirt and
foreign matter should be left out. II is
better to stack soon after shearing, which
will keep the feeees clean and prevent them
from being broken by handling, which is
very important and enchances its selling

WOOL.

The following circular was sent to Mr.. R
F. Roberts, of Woodwork;
CHICAGO, April 18th, 1884.
DEAR SIR; AS old woods are now we'll
out of the country, and the interest of wool
growing sections now centers on the probable
prices of the new clip, present quotations
are of little value, being based on the pres
ent light stocks on mark ets, and in no way
indicating the probable range of values when
the offerings of the new clip are again liber-
al. 1t is early to predict definitely for the
coming season, but the indications are that,
while there will be a good steady demand,
the supply of wool will be abundant, and
prices moderate, and based more generally
than ever before on the condition and quality
of the wool, the best conditioned clips of the
different sections selling most readily, and
almost whenever owners may desire, and at
best prices, or salabIe only at considerable
reduction in prices. Overproduction has
been the cause of very lew prices for many
kinds of wooden goods, and, consequently,
also Of wool.
Owing to very scant supplies of desirable
old woods on our market, the very early re-
celptS Will HkeIy DFlng peCtef prices Cnan
later. Some grades of wool promise to be in
larger demand, and bring relatively better
prices than others. This we shall indicate
in our Special Market Report, which we
shall issue on every change of market, and
which we shall be glad to forward you, if
desired.
Chicago is now acknowledged leading
'roo1 market, Many of the largest Eastern
manufacturers are now represented here, and
through its central location it commands also
the trade Of the large number of manufac-
turers of the Middle and Western States,
With sales on strictly MT Cash basis, and
much lighter charges to the shipper than on
Eastern markets, our net returns on sales
will compare favorably with any market in
the country.
With ample facilities and long, practical
experience in handling woods. we solicit your
consignments, confidently believing that we
shall be able to render such service as will
be most satisfactory and profitable
Very truly yours,

FIRST PRINTING IN WISDOM
SIN-A NAN OF MARKED IN
a nNTTTnU

GENUITY.
It is stated on the authority Of
Hon. Lyman G. Draper, Secretary
Wisconsin Historical Society, in the
collections of that society, vol. 2, that
the first printing in Wisconsin was at
Green Bay, December, 1888. The
Green Bay I1ate1zigencer was establish
ed at that time, which was the first
printing done in Wisconsin, and first
west of Wisconsin to the Rocky Noun
tains. At that time Green Bay was a
military post and headquarters for
Indian traders. In February or
March, 1886, Mr.. Draper says, the Sec
ond printing done in Wisconsin was in
Kenosha (then called Pike Creek by
Rev. Jason Lothrop. The printing
was not a newspaper, but Of a miscel-
laneous kind. Rev. Mr.. Lothrop
brought with him a lot Of printing
type, but no press or fixtures for an
Office, when he came here from Hanni-
bal, N. Y. The first printing by Mr..
Lothrop was the bylaws of the Mil
waukee Claims Union. This was an
organization of land claimants COM
prising the present counties Of Mil
Waul1ee, Racine and KenOsha; it's OBJ
.ject was mutual protection, as the
lands were not yet put into market for
sale by the government. Among the
first things to be done to get the i'm
proyised printing Office to running
was to secure a good foundation for
the press to rest upon; for this pur-
pose large oak tree in the now north
ward of this place was cut down, and
the top of the stump carefully smooth
ed to an exact level. For the process
of the work we take Mr.. Lothrop's
own description, as found in the
volume of the Historical Society be-
fore mentioned:
"a wooden box was placed on the
stump, made about twelve by twenty
four inches in size, with sides rising
above the base in which the types
were made to stand of the height of
the type. j made my own ink, and
used the old-fashioned ball, with which
to distribute the ink on the type, and
then roller passed over the paper on
the form, resting on the sides of the
box, that did the press work The
whole expense of my printing ma
terials, including type, could not have
been ten dollars. By these simple
materials | printed some things, where
no other printing could be had, and at
one time printed volume Of about
250 pages. When out of sorts of type,
/ cast some of certain letters, and thus
I manufactured books, bound them
myself and read them"
Specimens Of Mr.. Lothrop's first
efforts at printing by his simple ma.
chinery were deposited in the State
Historical Society's collections at
Madison, Wis. All the old settlers in
Kenosha have vivid recollection Of
Rev. Jason Lothrop. He was among
the first settlers of the town and died
about six years ago. He was a
highly educated man, a clergyman of
the Baptist denomination, the author
of some theological works. He left a
large amount of unpublished manu-
script intended for publication which
will never go into print Besides his
literary attachments, he was a remark
able man; there was hardly trade of
which he did not seem to have some
knowledge and could readily adapt
himself to it.

Since then Mr. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
orlump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darling pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man. by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
R1LLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
