Have you noticed the elegant turn
outs Harry Kupfer is sending out lately :?
They are handsome. New cabs, new car
riages. new horses, new harness Mr., L.
2. Jo.Beg rs la.gly finished eight sets Of
the finest harness you ever laid your eyes
on for him Four Of them are
double and four single. They
are Of the finest workmanship
and trimmed in rubber and gold or
rubber and silver. One Of them is a sin
gle harness in white rubber and silver and
is beauty The Kupfer rigs will equal
anything in the State now and Jones is
also the man to make fine harness. These
two facts are certain.
The present city council certainly
means to leave some practical results to
show for it's Gork. The move to amend the
city charter is commendaDle in the high
est degree. The Council certainly ought
TO have the power to make the needful
public Improvements without asking the
consent of the fossils and if their work is
done carefully and in a business like man
ner it will receive the endorsement Of the
great ma iority Of the best citizens Of the
place The amendment to the Charter
which has been placed in attorney Cava-
nagh's hands to bring before the legisla-
ture is one that ought TO meet with the
appreciation Of every public spirited clti-
zen Of Kenosha. 1t was prepared with
great care by Mr.. Cavanagh and received
the unanimous vote of the Council. The
old charter was weak and very faulty
instrument The amendment makes it in
the points covered more like those Of
other cities Of this size. The charters Of
dozen places both larger and smaller
than Kenosha were examined and com
pared and each and every one of them
conferred on the council the power this
amendment confers upon the council of
Kenosha The amendment in full is
printed in another column.
The Nickel Savings Bank enterprise
does not languish although we do not
talk about 1t every week Mr.. Innes was
in Chicago last Saturday arranging for
the stamps and pass-booBs necessary to
commence operations. Some delay has
been due to the necessary correspondence.
The stamps will have on them an en-
graved head of Gilbert NJ Simmons. Mr..
Simmons had been thinking and talking
some about this nickel savings scheme for
some time before his death. He was prob
ably the first to open the subject and the
appropriateness of having his likeness on
the stamps will instantly strike everyone.
It is appropriate because it will recall to
the boys and girls of Kenosha the broad
manly character of the man. 1t is appro-
priate hecauSe he is as good an example
