The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1888-02-17

A large farmer in this county says
he has learned of no losses of stock or
swine in his vicinity from the effects
of the late extreme cold weather. The
causes for this exemption from loss
may be, the weather is less rigorous in
this vicinity, or that stock is better
housed than in parts of the state where
losses have been sustained. Stock is
much better protected in this portion
of the state in winter than years ago.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

The remark IS freely made, whether
true or not is left for others to judge,
that there is not a known case in this
city or county where any school officer
has enforced the law relating to the
compulsory attendance of those of
proper age in the schools. 1t is con-
coded that there are many boys seen
on the streets without proper employ
ment, and seemingly not caring for
any, who ought to be in school. 1t is
generally agreed that compulsory edu-
cation of the children and youth in
the essential branches of learning is
justly part of our school system.
This has been so conclusively shown
that the reasons given need not be re-.
peated now. In the state of Illinois
school authorities have recently insti-
tuted proceedings against parents for
refusing or neglecting 70 send their
children to school. This may seem an
arbitrary interference with the rights
of parents, but, without stopping to
argue it, suffice it to say the courts
have held it to be legal. Any citizen
may make complaint in cases of neg
lect to comply with the requirements
of the compulsory school law, but it is
more especially the duty of superin-
tendents and other school officers to
sec that the law is enforced. The law
attaches just penalties to those officers
who neglect to perform the duties re-
qnired of them. Wisconsin justly
prides itself as state in being one of
the first in the West to establish a
liberal system of free schools, and if
other portions of the state have been
as rerniss in the enforcement of com.
pulsory education as in this quarter it
indicates weakening in the afore-
time zeal in public school education
The doctrine has been held that educa
ton is public property, and the best
the people can possess to preserve their
rights and protect their free institu-
tions. Every boy who is allowed to
grow up to manhood uneducated is a
loss of property that should have been
saved.

SOMETIME ! SOMEHOW

One day went to see Drs. H. NJ. Reyes and

and she had returned to her faith er, where
upon Chsssard followed her. As he en-
tered the yard Mrs. Pierce forbade him
coming in, but he needed not, and Just
IS he stepped on the gallery Mrs. Pierce
presented shotgun, which accidentally
fired, dischsrging the load in the floor at
Chassard's feet. Chassard spraug for
ward and grabbed the weapon and wrung
1t from her hand, swearing that ne intend
ed to kill the whole outfit. Just at this
time young Henrod, who was in the room,
called for gun and fred the fatal shot,
which took effect in the region Of the
heart, killing him instantly. Hernod is
now under arrest awaiting his prelimin-
ary trial which will come Off on the 10th

To the Editor of the Gazette:
There never was a more deliberate
falsehood penned by correspondent
than the following item which appeared
in this m orning's issue OF your paper rel
alive to my action in the Third ward
primary last Saturday night:
1.-THE Union Labor elemen. and the
third party Pfohibitionists, headed by B
T. Davis, the editor Of projection paper
in Corsicans, and who ran for the Legis-
lature in the last election against Hon. A.
S. Gill, the regular Democratic nominee.
1t was decided by vote that he and his
followers were not entitled to a vote in
the convention"
The truth about the matter is
simply that appeared there
as 8 Democrat who voted for
R5ss and intended to support the
Democratic ticket, meeting the full re.
quirements OF Chairman Exsll. wss
ruled out arbitrarily by the chairman be-
cause had opposed the nominee two
years sgo, explicitly so stated by the chair
man. The outrage of that ruling will be
apparent to you and your readers when
you know thst the president OF the Mills
club there present and participating in
the primary, together with large ms
Jority OF the ward were my supporters in
the election. There wss no vote taken
upon the ruling. had not one word to
cay in the sCusbble about the Union
Labor party. Your correspondent was
present and well knew the truth. Re-
spsctfully, B. F. DAVIS.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

Texas State Convention to be Held at Cor
sloane, Tex, June 8, 6, and s, 1883.
tits confidently expected that this viii
be the largest and best Sunday school
convention ever held in this state.
The programme will contain only topics
of practical interest and vslue, to be dis
cussed by practical snd earnest Sunday
school workers.
Every Sunday school organization in
the state, irrespective of denomination, is
entitled to be repres ented in said conven-
ton, by one delegate, and to an sddition-
al delegate, for every 100 in membership,
or traction thereof ever fifty. 1t is Of
exceeding Importance to the Sunday
school interest of the state, that this con-
vention be largely represented from all
parts Of the state, besides,it will be q
most eDj oyable and profitable occasion to
those VINO may attend. You are there
fore most earnestly requested to elect
your quota Of delegates Immediately who
will attend this convention, and forward
their names with the names of any other
person whom you know will stten6, to W.
P. Hall, Corsican,, Texas. Urge all you
can to go to said convention, whether
delegate or not Corsicsns has most cor
daily invited the convention-she is o
beautiful city, centrally located, of essy
access, and noted for her intelligence,
enterprise and generous hospitality.
In this connection allow me to state,
for the benefit of those who may not
know, that the obi act c. this association
liz for the purpose OF promoting ell
cheney in Sandsy-schools in this state.
1t is undenomilationsl in its character,
and is auxiliary to the International
Sunday school Association, which en-
braces the United States and British
Provinces, and from which Issues the
uniform lesson system now in operation
throughout tie Sunday school world.
So all denominations are interested in if,
and benefited by it. They should sus-
tain sEd support 1t, for it Is the common
work OF all; the exclusive work of none.
Our representation as state in the In
ternstionsl Association depends upon 1t,
for denominations as such have no such
representation. Texas cannot afford to
be without representation in the great
Sunday school system of the world. Our
county organizations, for the purpose OF
extending snd making more efficient the
Sunday-school work, depends upon 1t,
and are auxiliary to it. Hence the state
organization must be kept up
Every Sunday school in the state is
earnestly requested to send st lesst one
delegate to the convention who will at
tend.
Every pastor and superintendent re-
ceiving this circular is requested to read
the same in church and SundsY-school,
We hope you will make an efor! to at
tend the convention, and will use your
to have your section send dele
gates. Special rate of railroad fare, only
cents per mile each way.

FORT WORTH, TEX, May IA, 1SSS.
To the Editor Of the Gazette.
| You say there are many workingn en- in the
city who should belong to a building associa.
ton, and that what they squander would carry
| S1r00 or 5000.
What about the working women? suppose
| there is nothing to debaI them? some, know,
are saving at least half their earnings, and, az
| the banks pay no interest, could not these wage
| workers have the benefit Of the building asso.
Citations also?
Please, for my information, and perhap. of
others, tell me what I could DO or how many
shares could carry with payment of SIS per
month, and oblige MRS. A. ].
THE GAZETTE is pleased to record the
interest felt by the women Of the city, as
well as by the men, in this matter of
saving and investing small savings.
Building association stock in Fort Worth
is held by women, married and single, as
well as by men.
For monthly payment Of
SlS 90 a person can carry
$500 worth Of stock; in some of the as
sociations the stock is 500 and in others
5000 share; but the number of shares is
immaterial-the $500 monthly payment
will carry $500 worth OF stock, whether
1t be divided into nine shares of 5000
each, or into eighteen shares Of 300 each.
For the further information of
its correspondent and of sill other
ladies who may desire an ab-
solutely safe and secure depository
or prohtable investment for small sums,
THE GAZETTE will refer to the record Of
the only Fort Worth association which
thus far hss "peid out" and 'begun
over again" It began operations Novem-
Der, 1881, and "paid out" May, 1887, the
term Of its life, therefore, being sixsy-six
months. Had our correspondent began
with this association in November, 1881,
she would have paid in, 81 SIS per
month, sl1S8 up to May, 1887, at which
time she would have drawn out in
cash $500; thus realizing profit
Ct S612 for the sixty-six months
on her investment of SIS 90 per month.
There is no way in which small monthly
saving can be st once 30 securely and
probably invested.
Should. stockholders grow weary OF
saving, or, for any reason, desire to with.
draw, they can do SO; but in such cases
they merely have returned to them the |

amount OF money they have paid in, thus
losing the benefits Of the earnings of the
stock. This provision renders the build
ing association an absolutely secure de-
pository which pays no interest, and is
necessary to maintain the stock by en-
couraging holders to continue in well-do-
ing If they would share in the final re.
ward OF interest distributed.
The association is also home builder.
A person who pays on $500 worth OF
stock can at any time borrow $500. less
the premium bid, to invest in real estate,
the association taking deed of trust on
the property to secure the payment Of the
loan.
