THEN THE MILLENNIUM:

When man knows how to match a ribbon.
When woman learns TO drive a nail,
When man can thread a needle deftlv.
Wnen mice don't make a woman pale,
When woman gets of right from street
cars,
Instead of facing toward the rear.
When man stops smoking bad tobacco
And drinking sour-smellng beer.
When woman doesn't walk the sidewalk
With spreading skirts and pufred-out
,Y sleeves,
When man stops flirting with new charm
ers
And to his lawful darling cleaves,
Wnen man can understand the baby
Ana woman petting II talks sense.
Wnen man proposes a new bonnet
, Ana woman sliies at the expense
Phenomena like these, and others,
I. May strike surprised observers dumb.
But they Will know, by these same tokens
I. That the millennium has come.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian lube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroy ed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in

About Sneezing.

st. Augustine records that when the
ancients arose in the morning, if they
sneezed while putting on their shoes,
they immediately went back to bed
again in order to get up more auspi-
ciously and so escape misfortunes like
ly to occur during the day.
If a Hindu sneezes while performing
his morning additions in the Ganges he
touches his forehead, nose and chin
and cheeks with the tips of his fingers
and recommences his prayers from the
very beginning. In illness sneezing is
considered good omen, sign of re-
turning health. Howell, in 1869, said:
g He that hath sneezed twice, turn
him out of the hospital"
Among the ancients, if any one
sneezed directly after dinner, dish
was brought back and tasted to avert
misfortune.
The custom of saluting belongs to
every nation and cline. In Ethiopia,
when the king sneezed, those about
him saluted so loudly that they were
heard and echoed through the whole
city.
In 1541 De Soto had an interview IN
Florida with cacique, who, during
conversation, happened to sneeze. All
his attendants bowed their heads,
opened an closed their arms, and sa-
luted the prince with May the SUI
guard you, shine on you, defend you.
prosper you," and similar phrases.
An Italian child's primer of 1858 says
" Being prompt in saluting any one
who may sneeze, and returning thanks
to any who on such an occasion may
have wished you WE'LL"

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.
The Final Act in the School Year Of 1895
at Kemper Hall.

/ wednesday morning 1t seemed for a
time as if the proverbially beautiful day
for Kemper Hall commenc would
be an impossibility. Dark clouds hid
the sun and rain fell, but soon the sun
came out and eventually the day turned
out to be more beautiful than all pre-
vious commencement days. The early
trains brought crowd of visitors. Ar
mitage hall was packed and people
people stood out even on the porch and
on the lawn.
At 1920 Rach's orchestra Of. Milwau-
kee, played the opening march and the
class of 1895 entered and took seats on
the platform. The exercises were
opened by duet on the piano played
by Miss Hatfield and Miss Wanzer.
The salntatory in English was spoken
by Miss Harriet Macauley. Two songs
were sung by Miss Ray in excellent
style. The valedictory was given by
Miss Wanzer. The address was made
by the Rev. DR.. Prall, of'Detroit. He
took for his subject the class motto,
/" Courage and Confidence. y Thenfol-
lowed a school song, composed by Miss
Adams; one of the teachers, and set to
music by Prof. Heyer, who has been
musical instructor at the school for
twenty years.
After this the chapel ceremonies were
held. The front seats were occupied
by the alumnB, of whom forty eight
were present. The diplomas were con-
ferred by Bishop Nicholson. The class
stone was laid with the usual cere-
monies. Luncheon was served in the
dining room and in Armitage hall. The
bishop was toast master. He made an
appropriate address in which he paid
fitting tribute to the pioneer bishops,
Kemper and Armitage and to DR..
DeKoven. Mrs S]idell, Of Milwaukee,
formerly Miss Kemper, grand daugh-
ter of Bishop Kemper, gave some per-
sonal "reminiscences of her grandfather
and read extracts from his diary. Mrs.
Gilman, of Racine, gave a short sketch
of the4founding and growth of Kemper
Hall. Miss LANCE gave an interesting
account Of the school under DR.. Ever
hart. Mrs. Frances, of Japan, former
ly Miss Kate Stevens, of Milwaukee,
paid a loving tribute to the memory of
DR.. Lance. Mrs. Rowe responded to
the toast, "Kemper Hall in Modern
Times"
Miss Camilla Reynolds is member
of the class that has been graduated this
year from Kemper Hall. She is the only
Kenosha graduate in this years class.
The alumn8 and old scholars wore blue
satin badges on which were the dates
1870 and 1895 and the Kemper Hall
crest in gold; to distinguish them from
the rest of the school and every effort
was made to make the /" old girls" feel
welcome. and at home even amid the
manifold changes which have taken
place in the last few years About
forty eight Of the alumn8 were present
ranging from Mrs. Charles C. Brown Of
this city, who was member of the very
first class graduated from Kemper Hall
to the girls of 49,. Almost a complete
reunion of the class of ~ was held,
which was the largest class ever graGu-
ated from Kemper Hall. The custom
airy dance in Armitage hall after the
luncheon was omitted this year.

rather Unexpectedly last Thursday
night. He had long been sufferer
from liberation of the liver, from which
he at times endured the most acute

an honored member, went out from

funeral. The sorrowing and bereaved
family have the tenderest sympathy of

Final Report of the Grand Jury.


To the Honorable J. b. Chrisman, Judge of the
Circuit Court Of Lincoln County:
After being in session for IA days, we
beg leave to make our final report. We
have found and returned into this
court 36 true bills for murder, man
slaughter, and divers other lesser
crimes. We have had considerable
work to discharge, being the accumu-
lated business of more than a year;
consequently the number of witnesses
has been so great in these Jail cases un-
til we have been unable to hunt down
the unreported and lesser offences, and
especially the violations of the local
option law; but in this we find that
the law is principally violated in the
town of Brookhaven, and that it is car
ried on by only few persons, such as
Clara Thompson, and we believe if the
City would offer a reward of two or
three dollars for each violation, our
community would soon be ridded of
these. nuisances.
We have examined the Jail and the
inmates therein and find that both are
as we'll kept as they could be under
the circumstances.
We have examined the dockets of
the Justices of the Peace, and as far as
we could, have ascertained that they
are correct. We would urge the JUS
tice of the Peace to be more di6gent
in trying to capture the ,violators OF
the local option law; furthermore, that
they be more systematic in the arrange
ment of the papers they send to the
grand jury, and in felony cases to al
ways take the witnesses recognizance
to appear before the grand jury on the
first day of the term that the county
might be saved the expense of having
to employ so many deputies to sum-
mon such witnesses before the grand
jury that should be at the grand jury
door without any summons; and ifthis
is not done hereafter, we would ask the
District Attorney to have them brought
before your Honor and dealt with as
the law requires.
We have examined the pension roll
of the county, and have found that
Mary Woodall, A. E. Thames, Marty
May, Robert Thames. j. M. Cobb and
Thomas Ward are not entitled to any
pension money, and as required by
law, we have authorized the District
Attorney to report the same to the
Pension Commissioner and have them
stricken from the roll.
We have examined the County ofn-
GERS books and found them all correct
except the Sheriff, who owed sIi2oo
Jury tax and stenographer fees and
fines, and today he has paid the Chan
Gerry Clerk, by draft, $4,000, remaining
due 5000, which he says he cannot col
lect on account of no bonds.
Thanking your Honor and the Dis
trict Attorney for services rendered
we hereby beg leave to be finally dis-
charged. I. w. CHlsHoIh'
Foreman.
