pagaudist. Not a duy passes but that

Woman Suffrage.

In his inaugural address, Governor
Amos, Of Massachusetts,, used the fol-
lowing language: Once more 1 earnest
ly recommend as an act of simple JUS
tice the eaac'ment OF law securing
municipal S1nerags to women. Recent
political events have confirmed the
opinion which have long held, that if
women have sufficient reason to vote
they will do 30 and become an import
ant factor in the settlement OF the
great questions. II We eau trust I'M.
educated men to vote We can with
greater safety and far moro propriety
grant the same power to women, who,
as rule, are we'll educated and quite a.
intelligent a. men.

THE NOW TOWN OF sOMERs A HALE
CENTURY AGO.

CENTURY AGO.
We will take our readers back in
time ffty-6ve years and show them the
then beautiful, wild land, now the
grand town of Somers, in Kenosha
County. Our stand for viewing /, near
where the late William Robertson re-
sided. and on the Milwaukee road. We
will look enthusiastically Git is now
June 20, 1880 aud westwardly we see
a vast expanse of prairie covered with
beautiful wild flowers. On the east and
northeast we behold a vast forest of
timber, in which the axe of the wood
man has not been heard. We look and
try to discover where the white man
has been, and look in vain We are
near the trail of the Indian, and sud-
denly we hear the whoop and yell We
look nort.westerly and See score or
more of the late owners Of the soil upon
their ponies in this trail one after the
other; they ride swiftly past and soon
are out of sight. They are on their way
to Fort Dearborn, Chicago, to receive
pay for their land which Uncle Samuel
has bought of them. We wondered
that this beautiful country could be left
uaoccupied by the civilized white man,
when it is only occupied by the poor
Indian, the deer, wolf and other wild
animals. The wild geese and ducks
were innumerable.
We now will wait until 1885, and
take another view of this beautiful place.
And we find in March, 1885, that Mr..
Hugh Longwell has pitched his tent
and is intending to make a home for
himself and his family, and where he
resided until his decease few years
ago, And also we find Mr.. Alison
Felch has made his claim little north
of Mr.. Longwell These two men were
the first actual settlers in the town.
The families of Mr. Longwell and Mr..
Felch arrived in June, 1885 Mrs.
Longwell is new residing on or near
where she first located, and with her
son. Mr. Felch died number of
years since. Deacon Cephas Weed
settled on the farm now owned by his
son about June 20, 1885. The land
of this part of Wisconsin at this time
had not been surveyed by the govero-
ment and the few settlers could not tell
where the lines of their claims were,
but they agreed if the lines. when sur
veyed, did not meet their expectations,
would make exchanges. In our expIor-
atoms during 1855 we do not find any
other actual settler until late in the
year 1885. Mr.. George Willis came in
1886 and made his claim where Mr..
Hartman Marsh afterward bought and
located Mr. Willis erected log house
(quite an extensive one) and opened it
for the accommodation of the travellers
who came along. The government this
year established mail route between
Chicago and Milwaukee and the Mil
yankee road so called. The mail was
carried on horseback and weekly mail
each way. Mr.. Willis made an applica-
tion for post Office at his place, and

SOCIETY OF ART.
Mr.. Curriers' Painting OF Rev. Or.
Nichols.

Saturday evening the spring exhibition of
the work of the pupils of the Society of Art
School opened with private view to the
members at the Society building There
was good attendance and those who were
present were highly gratifed by the progress
made by the school during the past year un-
der the guidance Of Mr.. A. V. Currier. There
were about 200 pictures, divided between the
oils, water colors, and black and whites.
There were heads, flower pieces and still
life, but no landscapes. marines or figure
pieces. 1t was an exhibition Of school work,
pure and simple, and the only painting out
side of 1t was the copy Of Wight's portrait Of
Rev. Dr. Nichols by Mr. Currier.
This portrait of DIR. Nichols is admirably
painted and. In the opinion of those who
knew DR.. Nichols, it is better likeless than
the original. The Doctor is represented
seated at table, his left hand resting on a
book, and the position presents two-thirds
Of the face. The strong character of the
divine is excellently brought out in his spark
ling eyes and marked features. The posi-
tion is easy and natural and the hand rest
ing on the table is admirably drawn. Both
in drawing and coloring the picture is highly
to be praised and win prove valuable adj
dition to the Boston gallery where it Is des-
tined.
The exhibition is now open to ticket hold
ers from 10 a. m. to 9p. m.

The tables were loaded with the good things

mable wife must have been great to prepare
such repast. "Ye gods and little fishes

of Kalamazoo. One of the leading features
of the evening was an able address by the

the club for the season the prizes were
awarded to the lady and gentleman receiving
the highest score for the season also the lady
and gentleman receiving the second highest
and last but not least the boobys. The first
lady's prize were two marble figures "Darby

and the second gentleman's French clock.

should see their names in print prevents me

FOR NUMBERING HIS UNCLE.
A New England Insurance Agent un-
der Arrest In Colorado.

DENVER. Col, May 11.A special from
Burlington in the eastern portion of this
State says that the preliminary examination
of one of the most sensational murder cases
which ever occurred in this State is now in
progress. Some months ago Henry Hatch, a
prominent citizen of New England, came to
Colorado and filed preemption claim near
Burlington. He lived alone and had made
considerable improvements upon his ranch.
On the evening of April 25th, G. w. Hatch
of Boston, who had been in Colorado, arrived
at Denver. He stopped at a leading hote
and on Friday left for Burlington to visit his
uncle, Henry Hatch. While there he gave
his visit returned to Denver Sunday morn
ing. Monday he left for Omaha, thence CO.
ing to Chicago, Goshen, Ind, and Birming-
Lam, Michigan. Sunday morning. the day
young Hatch returned to Denver, the body
of his uncle was found in the cabin with his
brains knocked out and his head beaten into
a Jelly. AS no one was known to have
visited the old gentleman except his nephew,
suspicion pointed to him and he was arrested
at Birmingham and returned to Burlington
Yesterday morning charged with the murder
of the uncle. The preliminary examination
began yesterday and will probably last
several days. The coroner's Jury late to-
night found verdict that Henry Hatch
came to his death by being pounded over the
head with blunt instrument in the hands of
party supposed to be c. w. Hatch. The
accused is about 35 years of age and the
agent of the Travellers Insurance Company
of Hartford, Ct, for the New England States.

How Nathan corwith, the Lead
King, Was Ruined by His Son.

lowed tonight when it was announced that
Nathan CorwiSh, Sr., was very ill in this
city. His death may occur at any minute.
Corwitb year ago was the richest lead mer-
chant in America, if not in the world. The
supposition has been that Corwith's gigan-
tic failure was the result Oh an III ptn.eS-~t-
tenptto corner the lead supply. The real
reason was almost repetition of the plot of
the play Henrietta" Ex-CO. Commissioner
Donnesberger who examined the books IF
Corwith after the failure is the source of the
new information. Corwith's every move in
speculation was ''coppered' with his own
money by his own son Guerd0n Corwith.
Before the crash came $1,100,000 had been
Withdrawn from the old mans Golfers aud
sunk in operations in which the younger
Corwith was hopelessly involved. Young
Corwith was metal broker in New York and
induced his father to believe he had exclusive
information regarding the plans of the
French copper syndicate as to lead. COrwith
senior was in poor health, and allowed his
son unusual )eeway. Young Corwith was
placed ID confinement by the investigators
and afterwards released. The father
shouldered the burden, making whatever
settlement was possible.
