A Homemade SilO.

siraight-edged stuff, two thickncsses,
with tar paper between, and put a
light coat of cement on the bottom, a
coat that costs but little. This work l

times, so it had time to settle.
The variety of corn most desirable

decided that u variety not prolific in
grain was not good for ensilage. So |
planted a good productive corn that
grows seven or eight feet high. This
fall it produced about forty bushels OF
shelled corn 10 the acre, aud when cut
on glazing was quite green. Its yield
of forage is large and the stalks are
not too bulky. Ny silo holds l,0SO Gu.

it on 165 rods of land. l believe we
should get a large percentage of grain

The following taken from the "storm
chart" for 1890 of Rev. Irl II. Hicks OF
st. Louis will prove interesting to
many. Here are his predictions for
DECEMBER.
December will open and continue
fine aud bright up to about the 9th,
when the first storm of the month
will begin and continue for three or
four days. Cold days will follow.
About the 11th, reactiOnary storms
will set in, which, under influence Of
winter solstice, may continue into the
regular period from the 18th to 18th.
Mercury comes in on the 18th. TO pro-
long the period-during which there
will be much rain with heavy slecl
and snow. At the end of the reac-
tionary days about the 22d or ODD, there
will be a good supply of snow aud
ice all over the north and far
southwark. A cold Christmas! The
last period for December begins about
the 9th, and runs up to January,
1891. In closing, we renew our prom
Use. and avow our fixed and solemn
purpose, to become more and more a
blessing to the millions who are learn
ing in,elligently TO interpret and fol-
low us. We beg the continued help
and patient indulgence of all the peo-
ple-praying for the divine blessing
and projection Of God upon every
heart and home.

A CHILD IN A CIsTERN.

Last Tuesday evening little child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Preston Button, about
Two years of age, was playing around
and over the top of the cistern when
by some means a portion OF the cover
lug, which was thought to be perfectly
safe, gave way, letting the little one
down on tn inside and into the water
Another child about four years old,
which was also PLAYING there, ran into
the house and told Mrs. Button, who
Immediately gave The alarm and eff
forts were begun TO rescue the little
one FROM deaths grasp. Mrs. Donald,
a neighbour, secured hoop and attach
cd ii to rope, and when the drown
ing child came to the surface OF the
water she slipped the hoop over its
body and thus held its head out of the
water tor u short time, but it soon
broke away and went down again.
She again caught it when it came up
and by this time two men who hap.
penpd to be passing were hailed and
soon succeeded in getting the child ont
OF its perilous position. 1t was very
nearly drowned, however, and close
attention with careful nursing were
nece. sarv to- resuscitaie it.
The children had been playing in a
like manner about the cistern hun
dreds of times before, and the cover
ing was thought to be perfectly safe.
Mr.. Button was absent in the territory
on hunting expedition at the time.

party lines ought to vote for him.
The TELEGRAPH-CoURIER has no
harsh word to say about any Demo
cratic candidate and does not en-
dorse mud throwing by any one.
There is enough good to say of our
own candidates to employ this paper
without having recourse to vilifica-
ton of the opposite side. The Re
publicans of this city generally dis
approve of the personal attack on
the Democratic candidate for Mayor
in one of the papers of this city last
week. 1t cuts but very little figure
in estimating mans ability to fill
the office of Mayor to know that he
has changed his politics. The at
tack upon Mr. Kupfer referred to
was altogether uncalledfor and Re-
publicans repudiate it entirely.
While Directing to personal at
tacks upon political opponents, we
believe in political parties and In
political loyalty. The Republicans
of this city have every reason to be
loyal to the ticket this spring, for the
party nominees do credit to the par
ty and should receive the solid sup
port of the party as well of all dis
eliminating Democrats.

The Candidates for City Offices


The efforts of the TELEGRAPH
COURIER to stir up public senti-
meut in this city which should impel
both parties to nominate good men
for the city and ward Offices has
done good Both parties have nom
mated representative men and in
several cases it will make but little
difference which candidate is elected.
But a Republican can vote the
straight municipal and ward ticket
in any ward and do it with a clean
conscience. There is not a man
nominated to any office on the Re
publican ticket who will not make a
good officer if elected. Also, it be-
hooves the Republicans to get out to
the polls and vote. If they do, there
is a frst-clasS chance to elect a very
large portion OF the ticket. The can
didates merit the support Of every
Republican as we'll as every Demo
crat. Mr.. 0. S. Newell filled the Of
fee of Mayor of this city once and
the city was honored and benefited
by his work A business man of ex-
perience, ability and integrity, he
could save the taxpayers a good
deal Of money and save them some
modification as we'll by his work as
Mayor. Mr. Newell has consented
run, not from political ambition, but
because the Republicans of this city
believed he would honor the position
and would make an efficient and
able public servant. Unless the
citizens desire his services enough to
get out and work for his election,
they will not have them. The citi-
zens Of Kenosha without regard to

Who Shall be Mayor ?

The question, Who shall be the
next Mayor of this city? is of far
greater consequence than some per-
sons may suppose. The property
holder or business man who regards
the answer to the question of next
Mayor with Indifference or of no
great Importance, can hardly be called
a consistent friend of the city. The
good name of the city should be the
ambition of every citizen; the good
name of city. like the good name
of citizen, is the best of capital.
If city desires the confidence and
respect of people abroad, and i'll the
course of events may have occasion
to use that name for its advantage,
its value is an important factor in all
business transactions. The reputa-
ton which a city bears is largely
Judged by the men the city deliber-
ately selects for its city officers;
these are its business representatives
and to a great extent reflect the kind
of voting population by which they
were elected. o. S. Newell has had
the advantage of extensive travel
and observation in Europe, which
may be a benefit to the chief magls-
trate of a city no larger than this.
He has never so far as learned, been
charged with wronging any one in
his dealings He is not noisy poll,
tician; his uniform department with
his neighbors is one of quietness.
This city has had experiences in
past years, from which can be calcu-
lated whether the people have sus-
tanned the reputation of the city as
they might have done by more ju-
dicious choice of municipal officers,
O. S. Newell, candidate in nomlna-
ton for Mayor, is not an office as
pirant; he did not seek to be a can
didate, but declined until after much
solicitation, he accepted the nomina-
ton. He is not an untried Mayor;
he performed the duties of the office
acceptably in 1883; no complaint
was heard of want of attention to the
official duties of the position. He
has been known in this place almost
from childhood; his early education
was in the schools in this city Sub
sequently he entered college. His
intercourse with his neighbors and
the people in general has always been
courteous. No such long reference
to the character and qualifications of
the candidate Newell is needed, for
the older residents, but during the
past few years many new additions
have been made to the population of
the city, to whom the information
may be acceptable.

A BUSINESS mems administration of
the affairs Of this city would save the
tax payers just about five thousand dol
lars a year and the city's business
would receive closer attention and bet
ter care. The "McGivern fund" alone
ought to be reduced nearly that amount.
The money that this city pays out every
year to the shovel brigade would pave
Main street and keep it in frst-class
condition if expended wisely. The
people of this city go into their pockets
every year and place in the hands of
the City Council between fifty and
sixty thousand dollars and it would
seem that they would take interest
enough IN the use of that money to see
to it that it is used wisely. The af-
fairs Of this city have been in Demo-
cratic hands so long that there is ten
dency on the part of large number to
regard Kenosha as the special property
Of Democratic politicians. A change
would be Il good thing for all parties.
1t would give our Democratic friends a
rest from their onerous duties and
would give the citizens chance to see
what could be accomplished by the in
telIigent use Of the city's money.

1t must not be inferred because so
little is said in respect to the pro-
ceedings of Congress that they have
been devoid of general interest. The
past three months have been more
than ordinary working months in
Congress; the time has not been de-
voted to measures for party advance
ment, but more especially in the in
terest of the industrial classes. It
may have been in some of its aspects
called a Farmers Congress. More
time has been given to the revision
of the tariff, as it affects the agri-
cultural and productive interests of
the country, than by any former
Congress for years, if ever before.
The proposed new tariff bill, which
has been nearly completed, is work
of great labor, and it is believed that
every part of it will stand the scru-
tiny of even the advocates of free
trade. It carefully guards every
substantial American industry, and
protects it from unfair competition
with foreign countries. So far as the
proposed provisions of the revised
tariff have been published, it is be-
lieved it will prove satisfactory to the
