handling the works in the face of the OBJ
stacles with which he has had to contend.
Such firm would give the city good ser
vice and we would have the advantage OF
having local company. Local capital
lists would put up part of the money for
such a plant if the right men were the
managers of the concern. While Gray &
Bartholomew have the capital to put up
the plant and run it, they expect to make
a stock company out Of it and let the citi
Zens of KenoSha have hand in running
it. Such a company is more easily
reached when improvements are wanted
than foreign capitalists
The work of re-counting the votes
cast in this county at the last election for
County Clerk is progressing and will be
finished by the time these lines reach the
eyes of the reader. The vote has been
canyassed in all the wards in the city and
in all the towns in the county except
| SomerS at the present writing and Mr..
| Benedict has net gain of 4. 1t is not at
all likely that any change to speak Of will
| be made in the count in SOmers. The re-
suits of the recount tally with the first
count so closely that it seems waste of
| time and money to have the recount for
the Register of Deeds and Surveyor. A
petition has been circulated asking that
the original petition be withdrawn, which
will be done Mr. Benedict was by law
prevented from sitting on the canvasing
board, and c. H. Gonnermann was APP
| pointed in his place. Mr. Benedict by
his attorneys objected to Mr.. Pennefeath-
er sitting on the board, SO he withdrew
and Mr.. Hubert Schwan was appointed in
his place. These gentlemen with Mr.. n.
| M. Burgess have done the work. The
next time recount is petioned for it
should be upon better grounds than per-
sonal spite as it was in the case Of the
vote on County Clerk.

issued from the new building at the
southern end Of Main street. You can

perisheth:
I'VE took walk through l.. A. Cass'
new building this morning. Without
doubt this will be the finest finished build
| ing in the city. The first story is finished
| in natural oak, which gives it solid,
| beautiful appearance. The second floor
| is finished in Georgia pine and without eX-
ception the wood in these rooms is the
most beautiful grained we ever saw. The
front offices, both up stairs and down, are
| by far the best offices in town. The win
dOWs are large, giving plenty OF light.
| The second floor is rented to lady den
list and Dr. Pennoyer. The first floor and
| basement will be occupied by the printing
Office with press rooms in basement. Bro.
| Cass when he gets in his new quarters
will be Just too high toned for anything
and will have good reason to be, for it is
not often printer gets in such elegant
quarters.
The new Baptist church is completed

the contractor, Mr. Edwards, and to the
society that built it. 1t cost 81, 205. SO

of all kinds. There was balance of
81, 54715 unpledged until last Sunday,
but that has all been provided for and the
church starts out free from debts of any
kind and even the winters supply Of coal
is paid for. Rev G. M. Hodge, of James
Vile preached the dedicatory sermon to a
large audience After the sermon the
subject of the unpledged balance was
brought up and the effort to raise the bal

Missions contributed $500, leaving
81, O46. Is to be raised This was done in
very short time.
The people of that church have gone
into their pockets very literally in build
ing this church and deserve great credit
for it. Several Of the new corners have
been specially liberal, as well as many of
the old friends of the church. Among
those outside of the church who sub
scribed literally, Mr.. Geo. Yule sub
scribed 5000, besides furnishing the
lumber for the sidewalk and paying for
the winters supply of COAL Mr.. 4. q
Simmons, $3.50; Mr.. Edward Balm, $500;
and q. G. Simmons, Jr.. 800, There are
several within the church whose names
might be mentioned in this connection,
but that would mean giving the whole
list. One man whose name must not be
forgotten, who carried the brunt OF the
work and looked after every detail put
