corning the making people clear their
sidewalks of snow, has come up.

ling factory for election bets. The

scratch and stumped up" with as
sumed cheerfulness, but it was OBJ

long faces during the day.
We are authoratively informed that a
deputation of Racine's leading citizens
will shortly visit Kenosha, with view
of noting the metropolitan improve

their own city. We bespeak for them
a hearty welcome.

ing and fell into them. 1t has got sc
used to our printing scoops" and
then making a note next day saying
q Yes; such and such a thing was
true" that when we mention the word

The new HOLSTER & Theirs photo

| the Starkweather & Co. drug store and
occupies two floors, the second being

4 report came out in a Milwaukee
paper which needs correction. 1t
stated that the damage done to the
north pier by the schooner Alice would
probably amount to between $4,000 and
$4,000 The fact of the matter is
the probable cost of the repairs will
not exceed $50 or $50. The chief
damage done was done to the trestle
work About twenty or thirty feet OF
the trestie was torn up, but only a very

itself.

No one seemed inclined to stop the
animal, so it strolled on until the owner
missed 1t and went after it. He easily
