MUSIC FOR BOYS.

Be it known to the public that I will
| make an effort to organize brass band
$50 called), this month, to be composed
of boys-or young men. if you choose
between the ages of II and Is years.
Application for membership may be
handed to me On the street or at my
residence before the last day of this
month, October. That members will
not be from home at night, or lose any
time at school, the rehearsals will be given
on Saturdays. The expenses. which will
be as limited as possible, will be made
known on inquiry.
With this announcement [ consider it
prudent to mention that if the study of
music were incorporated into the curric-
ulum ofstudies for boys, there would soon
spring up all over the land greater
number and better class of amateur
orchestras and choral societies, and
purer and pleasanter attractions would
be added to social and home circles.
1t appears to us that young men of the
wealthy and highly educated classes
shrink from the study of music, SEEM
ingly, from a notion that it is mira dig.
Through their foolish exclusiveness, a
large class of the middle social strata are
thoughtless and servile imitators. In
Europe, among the literally educated
classes and in the highest circles, educa-
ton without the component of musical
culture is deemed very insufficient
Ministers of state, judges, generals,
physicians, preachers, millionaires, no
bility and royalty deem it their greatest
pleasure-in their hours of leisure-to
make music for themselves. The entree
to refined society that mere gold gives
is, at best, the shadow of feeting sub
stance and, when it takes WINGS" even
the shadow is gene. Intellectual wealth,
artistic accomplishments and elegant re-
finement, when once acquired, 0taUays
remain; and the use of these-with even
very moderate income-guarantees
their possessor a cordial welcome into
the best society. Should / give you a
complete list Of names of men of intel
lectual and social pre-eminence in every
age, country and vocation, who were
proud of being fine performers and en-
thusiastic lovers Of music, it would make

of his son, DR.. C. N. Ward, in this city.
on Friday, Oct. Is, 1886. Mr.. Ward was
born IN Monson. Mass, Sept. 8. 1901.
consequently was little over So years
old when he died. He came to Wiscon-
sin In 1874, and settled on what was
known as Walkers Prairie. in the town
of Bristol. His family, when he came
to Wisconsin, consisted of his wife and
four children, two sons and two daugh-
tiers, who are still living, except his wife.
Mr.. Ward was quiet, intelligent farm
er, and much respected by the citizens
of Bristol. He early interested himself
In that town in schools and religious in

his neighborhood, and by his aid relig-
lous services were held in it for a num-
Der of years before church was organ

supporter of the Methodist church and
consistent member fit. There are
now only two old settlers on Walkers

Farmers who have wool for sale will
do well to keep it for while longer, as
the prospect is that the price will adj
vance considerably during the next sixty
days. Prices in Europe are from 40 to
80 per cent above the prices of last year.
In San Francisco the prices show an adj
vance of 25 to 80 per cent on the fall
clip, In Texas, secured wool that sold
at from 45 to so cents pound is now
selling at 60 cents and upwards. In the
Philadelphia market the shortage is esti-
mated at 100000 pounds below last
years product, and in New York there
is less wool than at any previous time
in twenty years. The clip is estimated
to be from 100000 to 100000
pounds below the clip of 1883. While
the clip is short, the mills are consum-
ing Is per cent more secured wool than
for any year of the last four or five. We
are using 80 per cent more wool this
year than last, and there is all increase
of 50 per cent in the number of employ
ees. Large sales are reported, and the
mills are all busy. The outlook is good
and the impression is gaining that there
will be an advance to the prices of 1879.

Tie funeral of Mr.. o. Ward took
place on Sunday. The services were
held at Wesley chapel, which he loved
to attend, and for which he had jealous
ly labored. Quite number of friends
from Kenosha came out, and the
church was crowded with old neigh
bors. Elder Lounsbury gave brief
biography of father Ward, as true as
life, and l can bear testimony that Mr..
Ward was earnest as christian, hospi-
table as man. and ready for any good
work that fell in his path Blessed

ANALYZING THE BAKING POW
DERS.

Under the direction of the New York
State Board of Health, eighty-four diff
ferent kinds of baking powders, en-
bracing all the brands that could be
found for sale in the State, were SUBJ
mitted to examination and analysis by
Prof. G. F. Chandler, a member of the
State Board and President of the New
York City Board of Health, assisted by
Prof. Edward G. Love, the well-known
United States Government chemist.
The official report shows that a large
number of the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime many
of them to such an extent as to render
them seriously Objectionable for use in
the preparation of human food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine
samples. This drug is employed in
baking powders to cheaper their cost
The presence of lime is attributed to
the impure cream of tartar of COM
merce used in their manufacture. Such
cream of tartar was also analysed, and
found to contain lime and other inn
purities I; in some samples to the extent
of SO per cent of their entire weight.
ALI the baking powders of the market,
with the single exception of Royal
mot including the alum and phosphate
powders, which were long since discard
ed as unsafe or inefficient by prudent
housekeepers) are made from the i'm
pure cream of tartar of commerce, and
consequently contain lime to a CORE
spending extent. R
The only baking powder yet found by
chemical analysis to be entirely free
from lime and absolutely pure is the
Royal" This perfect purity results
from the exclusive use of cream of tar.
tar specially refined and prepared by
patent processes which totally remove
the tartrate of lime and other impuri
ties. The cost of this chemically pure
cream of tartar is much greater thar
any other, and on account of this great
er cost is used in no baking powder but
the Royal"

Mr.. Hugh McDermott, In last weeks
Courier, stated that the statement We
made few weeks ago that the pro
prietor of the Courier was ordered out
of his present quarters if he did not pay
| his rent was not true, and that no such
statement came from him. We heard
one of our business men on Main street.
whose word is unquestionable, tell an
other man that he (McDermott) told
him that he told the proprietor of the
Courier if he did not pay his rent he
would have to leave where he is. We
do not publish statements of this kind
without good authority.
We are indebted to Mr.. Horn, the
gentlemanly superintendent of the build
ing operations of the brass works in
process of erection, for few items in
regard to their progress. The late pleasant
weather has been favorable for their
operations, and the work is being push
ed with great energy. Upwards of 70
men are employed, and the main smoke
stack is already up so feet, and two
others for the melting and annealing de-
partments have also reached nearly the
same height. More than one hundred
car loads of stone have already been
used in the various foundations of the
premises, and % more will be required
to complete the beds for heavy rolling
machinery, which requires great solidity.
Two hundred thousand bricks have been
received on the ground, which is about
one-half what will be required. The
frame for one of the buildings is erected,
the truss roof is in place, and the whole
is ready for the brick veneering, which
will be commenced in few days, or as
soon as the smoke stacks can be COM
pleted. The doors, windows and frames
are furnished by parties from Racine.
More than 200 cords of pine slabs are
piled on the ground, and 200 cords of
hardwood are advertised for Mr.. Horn
believes they will be ready to fire up
early in January.

KENOSHA POLITICS.

The contest for sheriff in Kenosha on
the Republican ticket between Capt.
Chas. Frsntz and Fred Stemm is being
carried on with vigor, with the chances
favoring Capt. Frantz. The contest for
assembly is not as vigorous, as that
nomination depends on whether the
sheriff comes from the city or not. Mr..
Il. +. Roberts is the leading candidate
IN this county, but in case the county
captures the sheriff, Mr.. James Cayan-

the nomination in the city. Mr..
