story Itself Sounds Like Mixed Drink
Emanation.
The city officials at Kenosha have q
peculiar way of settling disputes. A
few evenings ago Il Milwaukee business
man visited the city Of Kenosha and
happened to stroll in a place where
nearly dozen officials were seated.
An argument arose between two OF the
members over some trivial matter and
they wanted to fight. One man sug-
gested that i jury be drawn to decide
whether the men had any just cause to
fight. The suggestion was carried out
and the jury retired to another room TO
discuss the matter In the meantime
the two would-be warriors remained
and talked politics with the proprietor
of the place. The Milwaukee man left
on the l o'clock morning train, but up
to that time the jury had rendered no
ecision.-Erening Wisconsin,.
The business man alluded to as the
relator of the story was Mr.. Riddles,
who came here with the " Galley Slave"
company Saturday evening We are
unable to state whether he is in the
habit of mixing his drinks or not.

A Letter From Bristol.

The Farmers Institute of KenOsha
county for the year 1895 can now be
numbered with the instances of the
past, leaving with us many pleasant
recOllectiOnS.
A very large majority and l think |
would be safe in saying every one in
attendance, were we'll pleased, and the
edifcation and knowledge acquired,
and the interest manifested far sur
passed their expectations.
AS the writer arrived too late to hear
much said about the fruits and sheep,
could not give d very fair report, but
presume it was good judging from what
followed during the remainder of the
Institute. AS fruits, horses and sheep
receive very little attention from farm
ers in a general way, fruits, because
the farmer thinks he can better afford
to purchase them from the market than
to furnish time and labor to cultivate
them, anu sheep and, horses because
they fail to find them profitable at the
present time, are looked upon quite in
differently by the farmer. Hogs and
poultry seem to be entirely in oblivion
this season as indicated by the extreme
low prices, SO they are no fad, and cut
no figure in the discussions, only
touched upon in an informal way, leav-
ing the cow and the feeding, and care
Of the COW and dairy to occupy the
most of the time, and am sure the au-
thorities by whom Mr.. True and Mr..
Taylor were sent here to instruct, and
discuss with the farmers of Kenosha
county, made no mistake in their selec-
ton of men for the occasion, for every
body seemed delighted with the pleas
ant, patient and .jovial manner in which
they handled their subjects as we'll as
the audience.
We cannot we'll see how it could be
different, with True man for leader,
and Taylor, (tailor) how could there be
a more fitting man for the position?
With a Sharpe man to occupy the chair
and keep an eve on the spiritual inter
ests of the people, who seemed to be
much interested and appreciative lis
tener, and we believe he almost wished
himself a farmer too. We, as a COM
munity, think, are in hopes to be able
to enjoy their presence at an Institute
again at some future time, and do sim
cerely wish that Mr.. Taylor and his
COWS may live on f0reuer and FOREVER
and FOREVER.

The concert given under the direc-
ton of j. G.. Mitchell Washington's
birthday was the incest thing of the
kind we have had in long time.
Every number on the program was
good. The pieces were new and ap-
propriate. The defamation selections
and recitations we're rendered in a
manner which showed careful study
and training. Such entertainments
are worthy of the great patronage this
concert received, the house being
crowded as never before on like oc
casion. Receipts $3.50. Large dele
cations were present from Pleasant
Prairie, Sylvania and Mygatt's Corners
This reciprocation and intermingling
of communities is to our mutual in
terests and should be encouraged.
On Saturday evening large delega-
ton went over to the Lake Shore
church where O. III. Miller gave his

some $22 was realized. Ollie presented
a good programme. The little people
spoke with an ease and natural poise

music was good. Altogether the even
ing was pleasantly spent.

BRISTOL.

One fact was brought out pretty
clearly at the Farmers Institute at
Bristol, and that is that farming don't
paw The bottom seems to have
dropped out of everything. The dairy
business is the last to Succumb, but
that too has about got to the wall. The
only gospel by which the farmer can
now hope for salvation is that of econ
omv and hard work. We must econo-
mize. In my opinion everything that
the farmer really needs for food can be
produced on the farm with the eXcep-
ton of saleratus and even that can be
made from wood ashes. This will make
him independent of the grocery stores.
He must work harder. Instead OF
fifteen hours a day he must put in
eighteen. The boys must work too. A
tanners boy does not need much edu-
cation. Ability to read and write and
a knowledge of the four rules OF arlth-
metic are sufficient. More than this
tends to make him above his business.

The Contest on the Consolidation Question
 Yesterday In the Outlying Wa,ds-oon-
 solidation Defeated by 8s Majority-A
 Gloomy, Wet Day and the Vote Was
 smaIl-654 Votes Rolled.
 The voters of the outlying wards Of the town of New Haven-the Thir- teenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth-de- cided by a majority of 6S against the act recently passed by the general as- sembly and known as the act consoli- dating the government of the city and town of New Haven. Owing to the in- clemency of the weather but about one half of the regular vote of the three wards was got out and when the polls closed the friends and advocates of con- solidation were behind in the race.
 The polls in each of the three wards were open at o'clock in the morning and remained open until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The total vote cast in the three wards was 654 out of a total of about 300 voters registered in the several wards. In the Thirteenth ward Westville, the majority was decidedly in favor of consolidation out of total of PAT votes cast, 66 being against the act and 1S1 in favor, In the Four teenth and Fifteenth wards, however the sentiment was exactly opposite, the vote in the Fourteenth ward being 1Sl against 63 for, and in the Fifteenth ware 114 against and 49 for the act.
 The total vote in the three wards was 361 against consolidation and 29S in ia vor, giving the opponents of the meas ure clean majority of 6S. The cleo tion passed off without any special in cident, the vote being very light owing to the inclemency of the weather ant the consequent indisposition of the vot CTS to go to the polls.

Ex-Lieutenant Governor Merwin Narrowly Escyped Very Serious Accident Last Evening-His Carriage Overturned.

Ex-Lieutenant Governor Merwin Narrowly
 Escyped a Very Serious Accident Last
 Evening-His Carriage Overturned.
 About o'clock last evening as Gen. eral Merwin and Mrs. Strong, widow of the late Selah Strong of this city, were about to drive away from MT. Merwin's office in the Yale Bank build- ing on State street, corner of Chapel, the generals carriage was struck by the directors car of the Fair Haven and Westville electric road and tipped over sideways on to the curb. The oc- cupants of the carriage were unable to extricate themselves from the carriage, and but for the fact that the horses did not start serious accident indeed would have occurred. Several bystand- CTS rushed to the spot and grabbed the horses by the bits. The occupants of the carriage were soon taken out and to the surprise of those who had wit messed the scene, were uninjured. They went into General Merwin's office, but Mrs. Strong, nothing daunted, after learning that the carriage was not broken up so as to prevent it, was driven home in it. General Merwin was somewhat shaken up by the over- | turning, but was not otherwise injured Nothing was brol1en about the carriage except a little piece of one spring. As the carriage was struck, the driver MT. Audley, was thrown forward from the seat down in front of the whifHetree but the only injury he received was some slight bruises. When the acci' dent occurred one car had just passed and MT. Audley not seeing that the di- rectors' car followed had started IT his team when the second car struck the carriage. That the occupants of tht carriage were not seriously injured was most fortunate, and was probably dut
 to the coolness displayed of all con | cerned
