There has been a great deal of talk
concerning the eXtravagant expendi-
lures of the present county court and
that it was not keeping the expenses
within the minimum. In order to
ascertain just what has been done,
Herald reporter, in conjunction with
County Auditor Fisher, yesterday made
an examination of the countys books
for the year 1895, and secured figures
which show that there is a balance
in favor of the county court Of nearly
$4,000. In other words, the selectmen
were authorized to spend in round
numbers s153, 900, while they actually
disbursed only $125,000.
The following statement shows the
total receipts for which they could is
sue warrants and the actual amount
of warrants issued, all during 1895:

Mr. Frank Davenport, living at No.

bought 81 worth of the Shaker treat
ment, such as is sold every night on
the vacant lot adjoining the Hotel
Knutsford by the Shaker Medicine
conpany-began using it for stomach
trouble and was relieved of a mann
moth tape worm measuring seventy
feet in length. This llorrid parasite was
placed in a large glass dish Of warm
water and kept alive, moving and
wriggling around for several hours in
front of the Walker House. We have
often heard men recommend remedies
to do this kind of work. but this is
the first medicine that ever produced
the living witnesses in Salt Lake city.
There is not the shadow of a doubt
but what the Shaker remedies are the
proper ones for Parasitical., Inflamma-
tory and blood diseases. The price is
nothing The agent is selling the full
course and one extra bottle of the ex-
tract, making So worth, for 81.

A Trains Narrow Escape.

Manitowoc, Wis, Nov. 12.-The Wis
consin Central passenger train, which
arrived here at 1870 this morning came
within hairs breadth of going down
an embankment fifty feet deep.
AS the train was nearing the big cut
two miles from the city the filing in of
the bank began to cave from under the
rail of the engine, and but for the pres
ence of mind of the engineer, who put
full speed on his train instead of stop
ping it, two coaches would have fallen
over the embankment.
The passengers were not aware of
their danger until it was passed. The
heavy rains and snow was the cause of
the washout, which has now been re-
paired.

Chicken Thieves About

Chicken thieves continue to operate
in the town of Mt. Pleasant and north
ern portion of Kenosha county. 1t will
be remembered that William Pratt had
thirty two fowls stolen few days ago
and that neighbor lost twenty. This
morning report comes from near
Berryville that raid was made on mine
farms and over ninety chickens were
stolen. 1t is believed that an organized
gang from Chicago or Milwaukee are
doing the work and selling the stock
under the claim that they travel
through the country and purchase the
same. A gang operating i'll Illinois
under such circumstances has been
captured. Racine Journal.

WEYLER BADLY DRUBBED.
His First Campaign of the Winter Season
Ends Disastrously.

Key West, Fla, Nov. 70 Weyler has
been thrashed the first week out.
Cubans have the first victory to their
credit for the winter campaign in Pin
ar del Rio. According to advices re.
ceived by the steamer Olivette last
night from Havana, Weyler was
attacked while encamped in the Gober-
MADEIRA hills, in Pinar del Rio province,
by the Cubans, under Perico Delgado
and Perico Diaz. The Cubans surpriZ-
ed the Spanish outposts, and for time
great confusion prevailed in Weylers
camp. Weyler is said to have fallen
back about eight miles. During the
retreat the Cubans killed 81 Spaniards
and wounded 60 others.

Electric Road Nearly Finished.

A. W. Bishop, one of the projectors
of the Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha
Electric Railroad, says that the injunc-
ton served upon the company by the
C. & N. W. railroad company had been
settled. The tracks will pass under
the crossings of the G.. & N. w. Co.
This company will do all the building
of the tracks and the Electric company
people will do the grading. All the
tracks of the Electric road are laid and
the finishing touches are in progress at
South Milwaukee. The wire is partly
up and the motors for the cars have
been sent from the factory. The delay
will now be on the power house.

JUSTICE BILLS CUT DOWN.
Racine County Board Legis1ates Itself into
LITIGATION

Racine, WIS, Nov. ss12.-The Racine
county board of supervisors are in an
nual session and the prospects are that
their actions will involve the county in
tedious litigation.
One year ago the board cut the fees
of justices of the peace and constables
by virtue of the powers conferred upon
it by the laws of 1895. Justice Went
worth took exceptions and took the
matter to the circuit court and obtained
Judgment against the board for the
amounts cut and also for the costs.
In face of this victory on the part of
the justice the board today proceeded
to cut and slash the bills of Justice
Morey, amounting to $2,109, and of
Justice Wentworth, which is 81, 600.
The justices will not stand the cut,
which will reduce their bills many hun
dreds of dollars, and litigation will fol-
low.

MET A FULL HOUSE.
The Fisk Jubilee singers Presented very
Fine Program

The Fisk Jubilee Singers entertained
a full house Wednesday evening at the
Rhode. They sang under the auspices
Of the Y. M. c. A, and without a doubt
presented the best rendered program
ever heard by a Kenosha audience in
that line of music.
There is something about negro mel
odes which is inspiring, thrilling and
beautifully harmonious. One cannot
take them up and analyze them as
musical productions, still they were the
crudely expressed but intensely signif-
cant heart prayers of those who created
them out of the fervid inborn-poetic
imagination peculiar to the negro.
They were greatly fostered by the sor-
rows and sufferings which even the
best cared for slaves were subjected TO.
When one stops to consider these things
and enter into the spirit of the songs
he realizes they at once call for an in
depreciation which can be applied to
no other music.
The Fisk singers are away above the
average of such companies. Their in
depreciation of plantation hymnology
is ut once entertaining and inspiriting.
The house was taken down several
times by the songs. The best instance
of this was perhaps the song in which
Mr. Loudin, the heavy basso, wanted
g Bro Michael to hand dawn dat robe. )"
Bro. Michael must have been a very
obstinate individual if he would not
hand it down after such heart rending
appeals.
