-Kenosha is city of about 5000 peo-
pie now and her main street should be
paved. That probably is not new idea,
but it is good. A stranger notices the lack
of cutters and the muddy streets the first
thing Paved streets would be better in
vestment for this city than electric lights.
Mr.. John English, an old resident of
Kenosha, died Tuesday morning at 10
o'clock at his home in Chicago. He will be
brought to Kenosha for lnterment on the
lilo p. M. train to-day. He was rs years
age when he died. He moved from Keno
sha about ten years ago. He had held the
Office of County Treasurer of Kenosha
county for two forms before he left.
The Moss Family gave very delight
full entertainment Tuesday evening before
a large audience at Kimball Opera House.
The audience was one of the largest of the
season and they enjoyed themselves
thoroughly. The Moss Family, between
them seem to be able to play almost every
instrument known to civilized man. They
presented a picturesque assortment of
musical novelties.
Two gentlemen, who names are with
held for prudential reasons, are in the city
now negotiating with Mr.. Kimball with
view to buying the gas works. They are
gentlemen of experience in that business
and would give their personal attention to
the business It is probable that they would
make such changes and extensions of the
plant as would be of great benefit to the
business and the town. They would proba-
bly, lay mile or SO of fuel gas pipes and
furnish part of the city at least with fuel
gas, which would be boon to the town. It
is not creditable at all to Kenosha to depend
on gasoline street lamps when we might
have gas. Any change which will result
in increased facilities in Kenosha will be
heartily welcomed,

The County Board of Supervisors con.
tinues in session. The bulk of the work is
done in the committees and the committees
on Justices bills and Sheriff's account have
had large jobs on their hands. They will
just about be ready to report this morning.
Several legal questions have been met and
answered. Justice Skaters bill, amounting
to about 81, 000 will probably be allowed
without much change. His fees for his
first term are charged at the old rate, and
they are legal because he was elected to his
Office before the publication of the statute
allowing county boaros to fix the fees for
his services. His tramp fees during his
second term are charged according to the
rates fixed by the board and will be allowed
accordingly. Justice Gillett's tramp fees
were charged up according to the old rate,
and as he was elected since the statute be-
fore referred to went into force, thev were
cut down to the fees fixed by the board.
Before deciding upon that matter, the
board appointed committee of three of its
members to go to Milwaukee and get legal
advice The following is their report:
To the Hon. Board Of Supervisors Of Kenosha
County:
we, yulr special committee, appointed
yesterday to confer with The firm Of Qnarles,
Spence & Quarles, would report that we
asked the following questions and received
reply as follows:
]. Can any person convicted of being a.
tramp, under section 1, chap. 40, Laws of
1887, be sentenced in any other way than at
hard labor or solitary confinement, as pro-
vided by section 2, Chap. 40 laws of 1887.
Answer. No
2. Can the fees fixed by the County
Board of Supervisors under section 6, a
chap. 47O, Laws of 1887, be made to apply
to an officer elected before the fees were SO
fixed, provided said officer was elected after
the publication of the act of the legislature
authorizing the County Board to fix said
fees

That settled the question with the COM
mittee and they governed themselves &C
cordingly. The Justices bills, as allowed,
will amount to about 81 400. The Sherif's
bills as presented, amounted, SO the scribe
understood, to over $4,000. Those bills
will probably be cut in two. There is no
doubt as to the legality of the action of the
County Board fixing the Sheriffs salary at
one thousand dollars. There is also no
doubt but that that sum is too low. $4,000
would be nearer right and the Board ought
to make it right. The Sherif's salary of
$1,000, added to what he will probably get
in fees and for boarding tramps will amount
to nearly $4,000 this year. The Sherif's
bills are likely to cause lawsuit. If the
Board cuts off too much from his bills the
probabilities are that they will find them
selves defendants in law suit before the
Supreme Court of Wisconsin. Either alter
native is disagreeable enough. Tuesday af-
tcrnoon the entire County Board with the

County Asylum. They went up on the

members interviewed expressed themselves
as highly pleased with their trip and with
the Asylum. 1t is exceedingly unfortunate
that Kenosha County did not take share
in building the asylum.

CALIFORNIA STATE FAIR

The managers OF Inc NsVHoih'~
State Fair are bound to make the
exhibition of the society at Sacra-
nento this year grand success,
and TO that end will introduce
some novel features during the
two weeks from September 9th to
DIST. The following from the Sac
ramento Record Union will ex-
pla;n one OF the new attractions to
be introduced:
1t has in late years been notice
able that at great fairs amusement
features have been felt to be OF
ESPECIAL value. People desire to
be amused as we'll as entertained
on these holiday occasions. At
one of the District Fairs last year
special music and Grammatical
features were introduced each
evening, and proved drawing and
very popular attractions, without
in any degree lowering the stand
ard OF the fair; on the contrary IL
enlarged its capacity for good.
The State Fair Directory has itself
several times added amusement
features, whenever possible, indeed.
II would seem that it is commend
able policy.
1t is learned that at the State
Fair this year a magnificent fea-
ture is to be added to the pavilion
display by certain exhibitors
which will .'fll the bill" for de-
sired amusement features, be
entirely new and novel and give
Gle to what Sacramento ought to
do to aid the fair in attracting and
entertaining. Nothing like it, 1t is
said, has over been attempted at
any fair in this country or the Old
World. On the North OF the pavll-
ion an annex is to be constructed
and work begins or it to-day, lao
by 1872 feet. 1t is TO be covered
by canvas, rising from four sides to
n common center upon 60-foot
pole. IN this space is to be the
peoples Play Grounds" where
the people cannot only engage in
many kinds of innocent amuse-
nents and proper games, bnt can
witness contests of skill and exer-
else in games.
There will be presented in the
Fairgrounds five kinds OF architec-
ture in the scenic effects. There
will he tour or five booths with
stages representing the stories oil
"Cinderella, "Robinson Crusoe, "
aladdin and the Lamp" etc.
Here properly costumed youths
will nightly give entertainments.
At one side will be a circular
bicycle tack for contests, trick
riding and exercise. Near by viii
I've full sized tennis court. There
will also be a nine-pin alley laid
a croquet ground, a gymnasium
will be featuie, q pond with ar
island and a camp scene therein
and very many other features
There will be raised seats iol
several hundred visitors. Every
one IN town will be privileged Il
engage without charge i'll any o
the games, under superintendent
and in orderly manner, by checf
system, and there will be matches,

How the Savages Ate.

In the summer of 1883 a vessel landed
at San Pedro, the ocean harbor for Los
Angeles, California. They had on board
a number of strange looking human
beings. While out upon the high sea
they sighted signal upon small raft.
Upon approaching it they discovered about
a half dozen mortals on board. The small
boatcwas lowered and they were taken on
board. Their scanty apparel indicated
that they were the inhabitants of some
heather land or isle No one on board the
vessel could converse witt. them They
were viewed as wild people, and were, as
matter of course, objects of great curl
osity.
Food was prepared for them, and as
they surrounded the table the ships COM
pany all gathered to watch the savages
eat. What was their surprise to see them
all reverently bow their heads, while one
of the number gave thanks to God for the
food before them. They had doubtless
heard the gospel from missionaries, and
had learned that the Almighty was their
Father and that from his hand came all we
enjoy and although among people with
whom they could not converse, they there
acknowledged their God.
O! ye cowardly Christians who live in
prayerless homes, or, who shrink from
having family worship when there are
strangers present, and from returning
thanks for your food when your rich rela-
tions are with you, be rebuked and
henceforth honor your God; own him
everywhere. HE that's ashamed of me,
OF him will / be ashamed" 'tLet your
light SO shine before men that they may
see your good works and gIorify your
Father which is in heaven. - Free

The Hedgehog.

The hedgehog is native of Great
Britain, and of some other countries of
Europe. Its limbs are very short, and its
neck also while its nose or muzzle is re-
markedly long in proportion to the size of
its head. Its body, which is short and
thick, is covered with hair upon its under
side, and on the upper with sharp, strong
spines, or thorny quilts, which are it's
chief protection against attack from enc
mics.
By the curious arrangement of a power
full muscle extending all under it's skin,
this creature is enabled to roll itself up
into complete ball, with those sharp
quilts projecting in all directions, SO that
neither man nor animal can touch it with
immunity. These thorny spines are curl
orsly bent near the root, and SO fixed that
when the muscles contracts by which the
creature rolls itself up, each one is held
firmly in its place. and every point directed
towards it's assailant. The elasticity of
these quilts is very great /; SO that the ami
NAL, falling from even considerable
height, will rebound without sustaining
any injury.
The hedgehog-s seldom more than nine
or ten inches in length; its quilts are
about an inch long. 1t has short ears,
which are AMONG its Distinguishing char
scteristics. It's great enenJ of snakes,
which it kills with great apparent ease,
and afterwards devours, not seeming to be
at all affected by their venom.
In winter, it becomes torpid, retiring to
some hole at the foot of tree. or among
roots, where it can be entirely hidden. 1t
lays up no store of food, but appears to
sleep through the entire season. 1t lives
upon insects, small animals, and birds,
and is fond of eggs and milk.-Ihe Sun

Timely Items.

The wings of turkeys, geese and chick
ems are good to wash and clean windows,
as they leave no dust or lint as cloth.
SEARCHED shirts will iron easier if you
let them dry after starching, SO you will
have to sprinkle them before ironing.
To brighten the inside of a coffee-pot or
tea pot, fill with water, oil and small
piece of soap, and let it boil about forty
five minutes.
Always remove the contents of tin cans
the moment they are opened. It is posi-
lively dangerous to leave canned goods in
the open air.
To remove grease from wall paper, lay
several folds of blotting paper on the spot,
and hold hot iron near it until the grease
is absorbed.
Put few ears of corn in the oven and
let them remain until reduced to charcoal
Feed this to the fowls and notice the in
creased egg production.

Be Useful While You Live.

1t is not well for persons to occupy posi-.
tions which shall make their diving more
desirable than their living. The house
too heavily insured is in special danger of
confagration. Many a man is new in his
grave whose life would have lasted longer
II there had been no insurance upon it. 1t
is as easy for man to make his life q
blessing as burden to those around him,
and the men or the women who have
shaved and struggled until they have made
themselves helpless and uncomfortable,
and burden to all with whom they have
to deal, have not, in SO doing, exhibited
the greatest wisdom or common sense.
There are people who hope to do great
things In the cause of Christ, after they
are dead. They will give money, found
hospitals, establish schools, build orphan
ages, support missions, all after they are
dead. But if the thing is to be done at
all why not do it now2 Life is uncertain,
time is passing, work is pressing, you are
a steward of the Lords. Suppose the
Lord wants some of your money and wants
it now, will you compel him to put you
under the ground before he can get it?
Why not deal out that which God has in
trusted to you, see that it is well used, and
live and enjoy the blessing of it 7 Surely
it is wiser to do this than to say to the
Lord, '"This money is yours, but you shall
never have any of it as long as live; when
am dead you can use it.
Ii is not q wise thing for man to put
all his money under the control of others,
and make himself helpless and dependent
upon them; but is safe for men to use
the possessions. God has given them with
wisdom, discretion and prudence, and
then, having done the work which the
Lord appointed for them, trust him to
provide for them and carry them safely
through. 49,, 4.
God as like fruit tree. The wicked
fIourishes like q green bay tree. The
righteous shall flourish like palm tree.
THE fruit tree is useful while it lives. The
timber tree is useless until it is dead. Let
Christians be like the tree by the rivers OF
water. which bringeth forth fruit in its
season. and which is cherished and pro-
tected that it may bear fruit, rather than
he like the timber tree, which is only val
nable when it is hewn down.
