InE readers Of the Unlcn were treat

LIE readers OF the Cn1c71 were treat.
ed last week to an article which i:
enough to arouse the indignation O
every lover Of fair dealing. The article
was signed "]4ex" and called in cues
ton the transactions of two Of our mos
worthy and honorable county officers
La the first place it impugned the hon.
esty and the ability Of all the gentlemen
who have composed the County Board
for the past IS years. 1t charged these
gentlemen with criminal neglect Of duty
and did so without presenting the
slightest evidence to sustain the charg.
es. 1t insinuated in u dastardly man.
ner that the gentlemen who have held
the office Of County Clerk for the last
10 years had been guilty Of criminal use
OF the funds Of the county and this also
with no evidence upon which to found
a decent suspicion.
Now to the fair-minded reader of
these cowardly filings the question nat
urally presents itself: Why did this gen
tleman who conceives the county to
have been 50 grossly defrauded not take
legal and proper means to ascertain the
facts in the case? Why does he close
his mouth these many years if he is an
honest man, while he thinks crime is
being committed under his very nose ?
If he really desires justice, why not
take an honorable, open and manly
course to bring the presumed offenders
to justice? Why does he wait until
one Of the men he fears so much is be-
fore the people as candidate for re-
election Why does he wait until the
very end of the campaign to vent his
suspicious? These questions do not
admit of an honest answer. Such a
course cannot be honorably justified.
The only inference to be drawn from all
this is that a personal hate found an
opportunity to vent itself upon capa-
bic and deservedly popular servant of
the people at time when such an in
uendo would be the most effective.
Any man who knows anything knows
that the county books are open to the
public constantly and fraud is practical
ly impossible. The books of the
County Clerk office are kept in the
clearest and most business like manner.
and it is a pleasure to look over them.
The people Of Kenosha County know
their present County Clerk too well and
appreciate his ability and integrity too
highly to allow a personal enemy to lev.
ell blow at him in the dark under a
pseudonym without resenting it, We
predict that such a cowardy attack up
on the character of our County Clerk
will result only in his reelection by an
immensely increased majority. The
American people admire an open, manly
campaign, and anonymous letters, SLAM
ders and abuse are not manly We
personally called upon Mr.. Benedict and
desired to look at the records in his Of
fee. He showed us volume in which
was entered in detail the accounts from
year to year during the six years Of his
incumbency, showing at glance every
redemption of taxes and the balance on
hand at the end of the year, trans
cript of which was published in the
printed proceedings of the County
Board of those years. We found no
cause Of complaint, but on the contrary
evidences everywhere Of care and pains
taking in his work.

Distressing Acciden t.

Those who were at the depot Saturday
afternoon at o'clock were witnesses of a
most distressing accident, which occurred to
Mr.. Michael Connolly, one of the substantial
farmers of Washington township, while at
tempting to board the train to return to his
home. Mr.. Connolly had been conversing
with friend on the platform aud did not at
tempt to get on the train until it was in mo-
ton, when he was thrown down. dragged a
little ways and then rolled between the plat
form and thecars, the rear trucks of the last
coach passing over his left foot and lower
part of his leg, crushing ths bones and sever
ing the. foot. Mr.. Connolly was Immediately
picked up, and upon his request was put

and withstood the trying ordeal like an old
soldier. He escaped injury otherwise than
the loss OF his foot, but it was indeed close
call from instant death. Mr.. Connolly is 81
years of age, and is getting along as we'll as
could be expected. He is now under the care

forwards turns out to be- a book of blank pro"

Fine Decorations.

House decorations seem to be more popu-
lar every year. Great improvements have
been made in this line during the past two
or three years, not only in the elegance and
style, until they have far surpassed the finest
fresco work; but the prices have been so far
reduced that now they are actually chaper
than ordinary wallpaper used to be, and in
fact SO cheap that almost everybody who
can afford to own or even rent house, can
afford to have at least some of the rooms
decorated. A room nicely decorated with
even the cheapest kind of paper is more than
half furnished. Those who would see the
latest spring styles need only to step in at
Saur & Balsley's large drug and wall paper
depot, where they will find the largest stock
of this kind of goods which has ever been
placed on sale in the town of Napoleon.
