Fourteen Hundred Bills.

1t is only when the legislature is in
session that the average man learns
how badly he is off. He goes along
happy in the thought that in this
free republic things are moving to-
ward permanent and unparalleled
prosperity and the perfection of Soc
ial existence When the legislators
pour in their bills, he awakens to the
fact that there are 1902 things that
are wrong and that the legislators
propose to right them. The number
of bills introduced at the last legisla-
ture were just exactly 1902, touch
ing every wrong from unmilked COWS
to the ignorance of mechanics con-
corning questions of POLITICAL econ
omy.
Ignorant of our condition, we have
lived for years without dairy COM
mlssloners, kindergarten commits
sioners, capital and labor commits
sloners, medical commissioners, rail-
way boards, and all the other numer-
oussssalaried bodies which legislators
are disposed to establish. Burdened
by prison competition, dying from
medical quacks, eating oleomargar-
inc, paying railway fares, we have
foolishly assumed that we were pros
and happy. But, 1902 regulating
bills show the fatuous character of
our happiness.
This legislature is not disposed to
leave anything for future bodies to
do, unless it is to repeal the laws en-
acted now.
Seriously, there seems to be an un-
usual number of bills, this session,
which have no chance of considera-
ton, and which their sponsors could
never have expected to be consider
ed. It is an immense waste of ener-
gy and time and money to draw up
print, read and kill the bills that
never have been Observation-Disclosures

County Boarders.

Thinking that the taxpayers of this
county would probably be interested in
seeing list of the aristocrats who spend
their time in ease and comfort within
the walls of that palatial hotel known as
the Kenosha County Jail, the TELE-
GRAPH COURIER scribe made visit to
the aforesaid orphan asylum to look over
the register. An examination of the
volume revealed the names of one hun
dred and twenty-six gentlemen of leisure
whose lives are made luxurious by the
generosity of the hard working farmers
and laboring men of this county. The
cold winds are kept away from their
tender forms and their delicate health
is preserved from danger by warm, com
Portable rooms and every necessity min
istered to with no move on their part
Verify they are sweet scented lot
These men are arrested, tried and COM
mltted regularly and the county pays
the bill. 1t costs nearly forty cents a
day to keep each tramp and his worth.
less carcass probably is not worth the
forty cents. There is some doubt as to
whether the next County Board of Su-
vervisors will allow the bills for this
luxury, but if it does not there is "a good
sized lawsuit staring the county in the
face. This is unjust and outrageously
wrong. The publicity given to this
state of things by the TELEGRAPH
COURIER has aroused widespread and
deeply seated feeling of indignation
against the robbery, and unless some.
thing is done soon the people will make
themselves heard. While this is being
written there are nearly fifty lazy fellows
eating at the county table at a cost of
over twenty dollars day. In the in.
terests of justice and the taxpayers of
this county the TELEGRAPH-C COURIER
protests against this wrong. Here are
the names, ages, supposed residences
and time allowed few of the beauties
in the county Jail: A few of those
named were committed for other reasons

Bliss and Towner.

A series of special meetings we're be-
gun last Sunday morning in the Congre-
gational church by Messrs. Bliss and
Towner. Mr.. Bliss is very effective
speaker and is aided in his work by Mr..
and Mrs. Towner, who sing beautifully.
Considerable interest has been shown in
the meetings from the start The fol
lowing is part of what the State Journal
had to say about Messrs. Bliss and
Towner's farewell meeting in Madison:
''ln the evening more than 700 braved
the cold to be in attendance at the last
meeting of the series Prof. Towner
and wife sang several pieces by request
and with great effectiveness, Mr.. b ISIS
spoke from Isaiah, 41:22-"Look unto
me all ye ends of the earth and be ye
saved, for I am God and there is none
else" This text, it is said, led TO
Surgeons conversion, as he listened 20
an ignorant blacksmith who was dis
coursing upon it. Mr. Bliss explained
what it is to "look," using the case of
Simeon, when he came into the temple
and beheld the infant Jesus, as an Illus
tration. "Now have [ seen thy saliva
ton" He then spoke of the salvation
as a prepared salvation, present saliva
ton, and salvation to be worked out
At the close he requested all who had
decided to accept this salvation during
the meetings to rise. Nearly 200 rose to
their feet, and then, at the urgent invi-
tation of the evangelist, many more rose
in the audience in token Of their decis,
ion to enter the Christian service at
once. All such were then requested to
90 into the chapel, while the audience
should remain. Mr.. Bliss stated that
391 decision cards had been handed in.
Several more were filled out, making
over 400 professed decisions to begin
the new life.
In the chapel were gathered large
part of these 400, embracing all ages,
from the child of s or 10 summers to
those OF from 60 to 70 years Of age.
Testimonies, prayers and songs filled
the half hour. Mr.. Bliss gave a few
parting words of counsel to those be-
ginning the Christian life, and then all
sang Blest be the Tie that Binds"
These meetings were designed to be
union meetings; in which members of
all the churches should take part, but
various circumstances have prevented
formal action on the part of other
churches. Their members are taking
part in the work and are welcomed to a
part in the benefits of the services.

commenced by church organization
which is resolved oh the suppression Of
ritualism. If the Bishop of Lincoln
should be pronounced guilty, it is
thought his only course will be secession
from the church, together with those
who adhere to ritualism. The feeling
in England, it is stated, is that the
condemnation of the Bishop would lead
to church disestablishment rather than
division of the church.

An Important Invention.

One of the biggest little inventions
of recent date is the slotted sewing
machine needle, a patent for which
was taken out a short time ago by
woman 20 years of age. 1t does en-
tirely away with the old process of
threading by twisting the end of the
thread to a fine point and thrusting it
at the needles eye until by some
chance it happens to strike the mark.
This new invention in domestic econ
omy has beveled slot in one side of
the eve through which the thread slips
as easily as nickel drops into the
slot of a weighing machine or lung
tester A blind old grandmother need
not have the slightest difficulty IN sew
ing now. Nothing could be simpler
than the slotted needle, and all who
see it wonder why it wasn't thought of
years ago. The inventor told me the
other day that it cost $4,000 to make
the experiments which resulted in pro-
ducing precisely the kind of slot
which, while readily admitting the
thread to the eye. prevents it at the
same time from slipping out in the
operation of sewing. What a boon
this will be to our mothers and wives
may be easily realized when it is I'M
derstood that one sewing machine
company alone in New Jersey turns
out every month over 100000 needles.

The Care of Books.

The care of books is subject con-
corning which pupils should receive
more instruction than is generally
given in schools. The need of it is
apparent in the soied, dogeared
volumes that are so numerous in every
schoolroom. Much of this destruction
of property is the result of ignorance
or carelessness. Books are the tools
OF the student, and he should be taught
to take as much pride in their condition
as a mechanic takes in his tools.
Clean hands are the first necessity in
the proper handling of books, and
every schoolroom should be furnished
with facilities for washing the hands
when soiled. Every pupil should have
a desk to himself. so that there may
be ample space on the desk and within
it to dispose of his volumes properly,
and be held responsible for their con-
ditiOn.
Eternal vigilance on the part of the
teacher is the price of a well-ordered
school-room. At least once a week
every teacher should inspect the books
of her scholars. Let her do it after
reading this article and see, what she
will find. If they have been used for
any considerable time the majority of
the volumes will be dog-eared, 3
