DECLARED ILLEGAL LAWS.

DECLARED ILLEGAL LAWS.
Some people have felt much dis
turbed recently by the announcements
that the local option liquor laws. also
the Sunday law, have been declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
There have been no Supreme Court de-
cisions declaring the principle and in
tent of these laws unconstitutional.
They are defective in the cases alluded
to and open to legislative amendment.
For instance, in the case Of the Michi-
gan local option law, twas found that
the constitution had not been COM
piled with In the enactment, which is
that the object of every law shall be
expressed in it's title. The other case
held unconstitutional was for irregu-
larity.

Main street in Kenosha has been the
subject for comment for nearly half
century. Probably no street in any
village or city in the west has been
liable to more fault-fnding than this
veritable thoroughfare. 1t was not
originally laid out as wide as the law
requires a country highway, four rods
There has been much complaining in
past weeks, just as there has been in
many years, of the mud to which pc.
destrians have been Inconvenience
People coming into the city from dis
lance of twenty miles in the country
have been heard to remark that they
found Main street more muddy thar
the road they b al travelled over coming
to the city.
Some historical facts relating tC
Main street may be interesting to such
people as were not early settlers. The
street was originally covered with fine
loose sand from three to four inches
deep, and was easily drifted by the
wind. Walking on the street was la
borious and tiresome. To remedy this
great inconvenience the women raised
money to buy plank and to pay for put
ting them down. A good walk was built
on the west side of Main street from
where the then bridge crossed the
stream, as far south as to where the
street angles westerly. The bridge al
that time connecting with the north
side was nearly opposite Simmons
Touring mill, that point requiring less
length of bridge than on the direct line
of Main street. Where. Balm & Co.'S
business office now stands was a sand
hill about ten feet high, covering an
area of aquarter of an acre. This was
an accumulation of drifting sand: the
plank walk passed over it.
The keeping Of Main street in good
condition has been a source of per
plexity for many years. In early
times there was small swamp oppo.
site where Head & Co.'s bank now
stands, which had to be passed over on
logs. 1t is the opinion Of old settlers
that there has been expended by viii
lage and city authorities, in attempts to
improve the street, more than sufficient
to have put down substantial stone
pavement. The old plan of hauling
dirt on the street and carting it off
again probably with past experiences
will not be repeated.

DEATHaOF MRS. SAWYER, WIFE
OF UNITED STATES SENATOR.

-DEAIHSOF Mis-. SA w Eli, WIFE
{ OF UNITED STATES SENATOR.
The wife Of United States Senator
Sawyer, of this state, died at Washing
ton on Monday last. She was an esti-
mable woman, and had been in preca-
riOus health for several years. The
story Of the removal of Senator Saw
yer and wife from Crown Point, N. Y.
to Rosendale, Fond du Lac county,
Wisconsin. in 1847. is an example of
the hardships and subsequent success
of many early settlers. They landed
at Sheboygan, from which place they
travelled in lumber wagon, accom-
panied by an OK cart, in which their
baggage was carried. On arriving at
their destination, they found the win
dows of the house they expected to oc-
cupy had been stolen and the floor
broken up. The surrounding country
was wilderness and settlers scarce.
Mr.. Sawyer had great difficulty in find
ing shelter for his family, but he was
of the right material to take privation
philosophically. He rose above diff
culties. and is now a millionaire and a
United States Senator. His excellent
wife, who had shared his advancement
In wealth and honor, did not live to see
the contamination of one of their plans
Of life. The Senator has near compile
ton one of the finest residences in
Washington, in fashionable part of
the city, which no doubt would have
been pleasure for Mrs. Sawyer to oc-
cupy, had her life and health permitted.
The funeral of Mrs. Sawyer will take
place at her home in Oshkosh, Satur-
day, at 2 P. M, in the Congregational
church, of which she was member.
