Co.'S weekly review OF trade says: Il ID
NO longer question whether business
improves Nor for long time have our
reports from all parts OF the oountry been
20 uniformly favorable. The daily aver.
age Of bank clearings in June Is - y per
cent larger than last year, though ala
per cent. less than in 1879. The most po-
tent influence has been the receipt OF
more favorable advices regarding grow.
ing crops. Labor troubles arc getting
out OF tho way. wages In many estab-
lishments are rising and. with the iron
industry Just now leading, there IL gem
eral improvement in manufactures.
Much diminished receipts of money
from the interior indicate better employ
ment in business, and especially at the
west, and the volume Of commercial
loans steadily rises and IL now fair for
mills are doing we'll for the seas IN. and
numerous advances in brown sheetings,
drills, bleached muslins, dentms and
ticks are still reported. The output OF
pig iron juno l was but trifie larger
than May l, l57. 224 tons against 156. 554 q

in prices continues.
Changes in all iron products show On
advance Of 81 per cent. this month and
IL 3 per cent. from the lowest point in
February. For this conservative indus
try the rise in Bessemer iron seems large
but it compares with IS per cent. in cot
ton, 50 per cent in wheat. 50 to 40 pei
cent. in leather, 90 per cent. in refined
oil and over 100 per cent in hides. All
these products were at the lowest price:

A Good Fish Story.

Beaver Dam is harvesting it's great
est crop of bullheads. The work is
carried on in very systematic manner
and none OF the fish are wasted. There
are a number of springs where the
bullheads throng in large numbers.
Two large holes are cut in the ice, in
one crib of STATS is built to receive the
fish as fast as caught. One of these
noles sometimes contains tons of fish.
The fish are dipped out of the other
hole. AS soon as the hole is cut in the
ice the fish begin to flock there in great
numbers sticking their heads out of the
water, apparently waiting to be lifted
out. This dipping is continued all day
and the supply shows no signs yet OF
giving out. Near by is a shanty where
several men are engaged in skinning
the bulheads, which is a sight to see.
Constant practice has made the men SO
skillful that one man will sometimes
dress as many as fifteen in one minute.
Ten is a good average. This work al
SO goes on day and night. The dressed
fish are packed into sugar barrels which
hold between 80 and 400 pounds each,
and are shipped daily to the city mar
kets. The express car is often nearly
filed with these barrels. The refuse
from dressing these fish is sold to farm
ers at about ST. load for hog feed.
Hundreds of sight-seers are daily at
the scene and declare that they will
never again doubt the veracity of fish
story. Frequently net will bring up
three or four bushels at one haul.

He Is Competent to Testify.

Charles Austin Bates, of New York,
who annually gets thousands of dollars
for writing advertisements and putting
them in paying papers. writes in
Printers Ink, a journal for advertisers
by Rowell & Co., as follows:
q You will always find that the best
papers give you more for your money
than any other media. It costs more in
proportion to produce 500 circulation
than to produce 5000. Don't think one
paper high priced because the rate is
one dollar an inch, and another one low
priced because it is ten cents an inch.
Usually, the more you pay for advertis-
ing, the cheaper it is. There are ex-
ceptions, of course-they prove the
rule =
Mr.. Bates usually knows what he is
TALKING auoa,. That is why he makes
money at his business.

THE CITY CEMETERY.
| rae Lsss Article Written for the Press By
the Late Col Frank.

the Late Col Frank.
Tile following article was penned by
the i4fe Col. III. Frank and is the very
iast Of his contributions to the press:
KENOSHA CEMETERY.
I nor to 1887 there was no fixed bur-
ial pace in the town for the dead. In
tefiuenfs were made in different places,
Is most satisfied the wishes of friends.
III 1887 a lonely grave was seen on the
grounds where the present cemetery is
located, then quite distance from hui
man habitation. The sight of this one
solitary grave in an unfrequenUed but
pleasant place, naturally called to mind
that sublime and romantic poem, enti-
tied . The Burial of Moses =
IN a vale in the land OF Moab,
There lies lonely grave
This poetic production strangely i'm
presses romantic minds. What influ-
ence Of this kind may have led a loving
husband to choose this beautiful lOca-
ton where to lay the remains of his es-
Unable wife is only conjecture.
The first grave here referred to was
the wife of Gov. Charles Durkee. She
was woman of many excellent quail
ties. The Wisconsin Historical society
collections, sixth volume, in connection
with sketch of the life and public
services of her husband, speaks of Mrs.
Durkee as follows:
This woman possessed more than
ordinary attractions ana was widely es-
teemed for her many excellent quail
tics. The wild loneliness that sur
rounded her home in the west excited
her enthusiastic admiration. Although
no flower garden cultivated by human
hands was attached to her home, yet
during the summer and autumnal
months there was spread out before her
a scene of floral splendor on grander
scale than wealth can furnish.
Many years after the burial of the
wife of Mr.. Durkee in this cemetery he
was himself laid beside his wife in the
cemetery Of his own first choosing. It
is sufficient in this place to say that
during his life in Wisconsin he held
more positions of high public RESPONSE
bility, territorial, state and national,
than any other man.
In all the care and attention be-
slowed on public cemeteries has been
regarded as an index of acknowledgement
and taste of the people. A neglected
graveyard" grown up with weeds,
tall, coarse grass, and in a lonely, out
of-the-way place, is a dismal spectacle,
ard one which not only superstitious
persons, but those naturally timid,
shun to pass by in the night time.
There are some cemeteries so neatly
kept, iii which even timorous people
would not feel i'll at ease, if left alone,
after the shadows have curtained the
moon and the stars. KenOsha GENE
terry is fast increasing the number Of its
silent inhabitants, and to the credit of
surviving friends it may be said the
improvements of the grounds are
steadily advancing. There are many
handsome monuments, some quite ex-
pensive, that will compare favOrably
With those found in cemeteries belong
ing to older and larger cities. The
grave Is Invested OF much of it's gloom
and terror, where kind hands have
beautified Its environments.
