TRAMP MATTERS

10 limited statement made in the
last TELEGRAPH in respect to the dis
posal OF the tramp trouble by the
Board of Supervisors, the following
is added: From the proceedings it APP
pears an understanding was arrived at
between the Board and the Sheriff. by
which that officer. is to receive a COM
pensation for the year 1884 as follows
$3.50 for the winter six months. and
$3.50 for the summer six months. for
food and lodging furnished to tramps.
equivalent to the sum of $4,000 for the
year. The amount of food or number
OF meals furnished to each tramp. or
the character of the lodging, appears
to be left discretionary with the Sher.
Tiff.
The Board will meet on the FIRST Mon
day in February next, and ach sue
cesslve first Monday of the month dur
ing the year, and audit the account of
the Sheriff up to that date. The fore.
going does not appear in the form of
official proceedings of the Board.
In relation to the account of the
Sheriff for the year 1888, the original
bill charged was $lO,7l46S; the Board
compromised with the Sheriff. and bv
mutual agreement his bill was allowed
for the sum of $S,29l.S0 in full for the
year. What proportion of this amount
is for tramp expenses does not app ear
The accounts of the justices for
tramp fees were not acted upon at
the last meeting of the Board of
Supervisors: they were referred to A
committee, who will make report at
the meeting in February. 1t is said the
committee have been in consultation
and have arrived at an agreement but
the result will not be made known I'M
til the meeting in February.
The Board also passed resolution
fixing the salary of the next incoming
Sheriff, January, 1885, at 81, 800 per
annum. If that amount proves sufii.
cient to cover tramp and vagrant ex-
penses of the Sheriffs office during the
year 1885, the people will rejoice over
considerable deliverance from taxa
ton.

WOOL TARIFF.

Among the subjects of interest to
the Wool-gr0Wers and sheep raisers of
KenOsha County, as we'll as many
other portions of the west, which are
likely to come before Congress at this
session, is the restoration of the tariff
on wool as it stood before the reduction
made last winter. The effect of the
reduction of the tariff on wool was
fully discussed at the recent meeting
at Elgin of the Northern Illinois
Merino Sheep Breeders Association
The reduction on wool, forced through
Congress by the advocates of free
trade, had the effect to lessen the value
of wool several cents pound and on
sheep at least 81 per head. This enor.
nous loss fell on hundreds of thous-
ands OF farmers throughout the coun-
try, while the benefits, such as they
were, accrued to few importers and
WOODEN factories. The consumers of
WOODEN goods in the meantime real.
lzed no perceptible benefits. The
wool-growers received no equivalent
for the loss they sustained by the re-
ductiOn of the tariff.

TEMPERANCE IN OHIO

The law in Ohio known as the Scott
law has met with great success in
suppressing the liquor traffic in that
state. Governor Porter, of Ohio, who
ought to be satisfactory authority.
says in his message to the Legislature,
speaking of the Scott law:
1T works with perfect ease, without
cost, without friction, it has silently
and swiftly put out of sight more than
$500 saloon signs and poured into the
treasury of the state a revenue near
two million dollars, with which to mi
tigate the sufferings and evils due to
the business"
The chief feature of the Scott law
requires that every person engaged in
the traffic of Intoxicating liquors shall
be assessed to pay a tax annually of
$500, which tax shall be a lien on the
property in or upon where the liquor is
sold. Such is the primary provisions
of the law; other provisions prescribe
the methods for carrying out the de-
tails and the penalties for non-compli-
ance with its requirements.

UNEXPLAINED PHENOMENON

We have been waiting for some
scientific explanation of the wonderful
phenomenon to which the attention of
the whole world has been directed. On
every part of the habitable globe have
the wonderful sunsets and sunrises of
past months been observed. The causes
have baffled the wisdom Of astrOnom-
ers, and all attempts thus far to solve
the mystery have Teen unsatisfactory
We take the words of another in de-
scribing the remarkable scenery of the
skies: " A crimson glow follows the
disappearance of the sun. This is sue
ceeded by yellowish tinge, which
fades into that cold gray which pre-
cedes the night, Before sunrise this
rule is exactly reversed. A yellow
glowffirst overspreads the whole sky
deepening to orange, then to crimson,
which covers half the eastern heavens
Crimson fires seem at times to be blaz.
ing just below the horizon, and ex.
tending their lines to the zenith"
What renders all this the more
strange, iC has had no parallel in the
history of the past; no record of past
ages mention any such grand and i'm.
pressive scenery on the mantle Of the
heavens. It is the first appearance of
this wonderful phenomenon of nature
what it presages nc. man can tell.

disposed, were mostly new corners
themselves, and obliged to look after
the comfort of their own families for
the winter months. The missionary
had been obliged to draw on his small
means to reach his destination in Dako-
ia and provide shelter for his little
family. After being made acquainted
with the facts in the case, the Kenosha
ladies took the matter in hand and col
Iected many useful articles of family
necessity, also making many things
new; no soiled secondhand goods were
deemed proper to send. The articles

Not long ago letter of acknowl

unless with heart overlooking with
gratitude. The gifts carried gladnes:

RELIGIOUS Comfy.

Moody and Sankey, who are now en-.
gagged in holding gospel meetings in
London, are having approval from
unlooked,for quarters. The London
Tablet, a leading Catholic paper has
the following notice of these evangel-
lists.
I've Catholics need make no diff.
Guilty in admitting that the undoubted
zeal and earnestness of these American
Evangelists is .divinely blessed. Nor,
however their teaching may be, we can
but smypathize with their hearty en-
deavors to bring under the influence of
the gospel, as they conceive it. those
who are living without God in the
world"
Less than a quarter of a century ago
no such friendly recognition came
from the church of Rome. Whoever
observes the tone of the religious press
both Protestant and Catholic, will no.
tice that the two great religious bodies
treat each other far more complacent-
ly than years ago.

Mr.. F. Hoskins seems to be doing a
good business at his store; he keeps a
good assortment of groceries, and all
should patronize him.
The new blacksmith shop will be
built just east Of the store, and will be
quite an addition to the place. 1t will
be occupied by Mike Baltis, who now
has his shop just across from the Far

ciety held regular meeting last Fri

is to be mock law suit.

After the last snow storm, John
E. Meyers, Of Somers, attempted to
open Il road toward Somers Station
and attempted to go through the farm
of Matt Munger. Mungen forbid him
opening it there, and it now looks as
if there was trouble ahead. We would
like to know whether road master
has not the right to open a road
through a mans farm when the road
is full from fence to fence. We hope
the matter will be peaceably settled.
1t looks now as if Truesdell was to
be the depot instead of Kenosha juno
ton, there being nothing but shanty,
st0ckyards and feed house there. The
much talked-of depot has not yet been
built. We think the place needs bet
ter accommodations for travellers. and a
small depot should be put up at once.
Several of our good people are pre-
pairing to embark in the poultry bust
ness when warmer weather comes on.

a large poultry house. We hope these
new beginners may have great sue
cess.

a very pleasant manner by the host
and his ineslimable lady. The even

and hostess doing everything in their
power TO make it pleasant. Mr.. Yates

we say he has talent in that direc-

Maj. Lewis Rowland made a brief
visit to this city last week, and met
many of his old friends and acquaint-
ances. Maj. Rowland is the son of
Thomas Rowland, formerly one of the
early settlers. who resided about a
mile southwest Of this city. Mai.
Lewis Rowland was educated in the
public schools in this city, and on the
breaking out of the rebellion went in
to the Union service; was promoted
to the rank of Major and made an
honorable record. He has of late
years made his residence at Ford How
ard, in this state. In the fall election
of 1882 he was a candidate for Con-
gress on the Republican ticket, but the
district being strongly Democratic he
was defeated, although he made an ex-
cellent run.
