Racine Boat company may remove its
plant to Chicago, as the river at Ra-
cine is too shallow to allow the build
ing of large crafts. The company eX-
poets to bid on a man-o f-war before
long and could not possibly build and
launch such a boat at Racine. If Ra
cine desires to keep the company it
will probably be obliged to do some
dredging.
Undertaken Hansen had a very
trying experience Friday with one of
those thoughtless people who are every
where. He was at the depot with the
corpse of woman. The husband of
the woman was standing close by talk
ing with the undertaken, when some
acquaintance of Mr.. Hansen's came up
and remarked before the bereaved hus-
band: What stiff have you got there,
Tom?" The feelings Of both Mr.. Han
sen and the husband can better be i'm
agined than described. Such things
are very reprehensible and deserve Sc
we're punishment.

was brought here by Chief Stemm Fri
day evening from Fond du Lac, where
he had been captured, and this morn
ing he was taken before Justice Slater
for preliminary examination. Schinoha,
who is Bohemian, did not understand
what that meant and the court had a
long tussle trying to make him under
stand, though he seemed to talk fairly
good English. He insisted that he
wanted to plead guilty, so that settled
the matter. The preliminary e1amln
alton was waived and the prisoner was
bound over to the circuit court under
bonds Of 500.
The following good advice is
clipped from an exchange: Ny son,
follow not the footsteps Of the loafer
and make no pattern Of the example of
him who is born tired, for verify | say
unto you their business is overstocked
and their seats on the corners are all
taken up and the whiting places are
all occupied. 1t is better to saw wood
at two bits cord than to white in a
loafng match and cuss the govern
ment. My son, while thou hast yet
lett in thy skull the sense of a jaybird,
