MAKES A BIG PETITION.
Nearly Everybody on Milwaukee Avenue
Wants the Electric Road

The Milwaukee, Racine & Kenosha
Electric Street Railway company has
determined to get into Kenosha some
way if possible and they have taken a
scheme for doing it which ought to win
cut. Mathew Slush, president of the
company, and A. w. Bishop, the vice
president, have been at work for some
time getting signatures to petition to
the common council from all the people
living on Milwaukee avenue. This
petition requests the council to grant
the company the privilege of coming
down that thoroughfare as far as Jo-
seph Bendt's store. All the property
owners on the avenue have been visit
ed with the exception of two and every
one of those seen has signed for his
property. The only probable reason
for not having the signatures of the
remaining two property owners is the
fact that they have not been seen for
some reason or other, which is under
stood to be because they have been out
OF the city. The petition will probably
be entirely unanimous by the time the
council holds it's next meeting. AS it
now stands, without the two sigma
lures, the request that the road be
built into the city is so overwhelmingly
one-sided that it presents problem to
the council as to how it can avoid
granting the request.

Arthur C. Boyington.

The funeral of A. c. Boyington was
held yesterday afternoon from his resi-
dence, corner of Bond and Elizabeth
streets.
To show the esteem that his late
employers, the Chicago Brass Co., had
for him, they closed their extensive
plant, that his brother workmen might
attend his funeral.
Among the many beautiful floral
tributes to his memory, was beautiful
set of rolls, made of chrysanthemums
and roses, typical of his employment,

young manhood he sought and found
employment in one of the factories
near his home.
In 1861, when the president called
for men to force into submission those
who would have destroyed our nation

CONGRESSMAN COOPER.
Washington Correspondent Speaks of Him

A correspondent of the Richmond
Qll.) Gazette, writing from Washing

gresham Cooper:
"Speaking of Cooper it may not be
out of place for me to remark that he
is we'll thought of in Washington.
Though not a great orator, he is q
pleasing and convincing speaker, and
is hard worker in the committee
room. Your Wisconsin neighbors
show good sense in returning him to
congress; they might go further and
fare much worse. He has the usual
number of postoffice fights to settle,
the most bitter of all being. at Racine,
his home town. Delavan had a,quar-
tet of candidates and each had good
backing, but the lady, in the case"
proved successful in the end. Keno

COUNTY BOARD ADJOURNs.
Fixes the County Apportionment at About
Three Per Cent Less Than Last Year

The county board adjourned this
afternoon until Jan. 5, at 2 O'Clock p.
N. During the day nothing was of
more Importance to the county in it's
action than the fixing of tbs annual
valuation of the property Of the several
towns upon which the taxes for the
ensuing year are assessed. This mat
ter is one which usually calls forth a
considerable feeling and is fought out
inch by inch in most determined style.
AS it was, this year there was the
usual wrangling by the committee in
charge and as a consequence two re-
ports were brought before the board
for action. The majority report signed
by Supervisors Spiegelhoff and NORM.
was adopted as follows, compared with
the levy made last wear:

1t will be noticed that the new as
sessment cuts on that of last year
about3 per cent. except in the case of
the town of Randall and the city of
Kenosha. The reduction in each of
these cases is less than that amount.
The bond of the Merchants and
Savings bank was approved and few

when the Creator said to woman,
"In sorrow shalt thou bring forth
children" that a curse was pro-
nounced against the human race,
but the joy felt by every Mother
when she first presses to her heart
her babe, proves the contrary.
Danger and suffering Turk in
the pathway of the Expectant
Mother, and should be avoided,
that she may reach the hour when
the hope of her heart is to be real

JUDGES ~ALL-PoWERFUL,
Laws Passed by the Legislature
Stricken From the Books.

MACON, Mo, Sept. 17.-"Uncle" JEFF
ierson Morrow, Macon Couuty's first
Sheriff attended the old pioneers
meeting held here yesterday. While
in the county Clerks office he called
attention to a couple of curious orders
entered on the records of that Office,
when the county seat vas at old
Bloomington. The first order was
made at the June term, 1889, of the
County Court. 1t seems In those days
the Judges possessed a rock-ribbed
belief that they were empowered
to regulate the universe, and there
wal no higher authority in the land.
The order reads:
"Ordered, that the law passed by
the Legislature of 1889 respecting
groceries and dramshops be null and
void in the county Of Macon"
Another order of the same year
read:
"The law passed by the Legislature,
the 18th OF February, 1889, respecting
the pay of Grand Juries Ia hereby
rejected, and that there shall not be
any compensation allowed"
No protest against the proceedings
IRE recorded and it is presumed the
people graciously acquiesced in the
Courts ultimatums. The Judges then
we're: Elva Allen, President; Phillip
Dale and Lyn Dabney associates.

System Of Telegraphing Likely to Be
Revolutionized.

OMAHA, NEB., Sept. 1.-THE Bee
tomorrow morning viii print a letter
from Lieut.. Geo. @. Squier, U. 8. A.,
to Hon. e. Rosewater, giving the
results of a test of the Squier- Crohore
synchronograph system of telegraph
ing. In the letter Lieut.. Squier says:
son August %, over a line from
London via York to Aberdeen and
return to London, q distance OF over
100 miles, including over 80 miles of
underground cable, we sent messages
at the rate Of 1890 words per minute
and this speed was only limited by the
particular dynamo available. We
have also tried the cable representing
the German cables of 100 knots, from
here to Germany, and sent over 1t the
rate of 1900 words per minute. Our
apparatus is mounted in the general
postofice, London, from which point
the experiments thus far have been
made"
Commenting on this the Bee says:
By the employment OF the s~ynchrono-
graph 500 words a minute can be easily
sent across the Atlantic cable. The
inventors maintain that their very
successful trials in England demon
strate the possibility of sending press
messages between New York and
Chicago at such a speed that the
entire contents of a newspaper could
be transmitted in an hour and the
statement does not appear unreason-
able in the light of their recent sue
cess. The speed at which messages
under this new wonderful system may
be sent is limited only by the speed at
which an electrical dynamo can be
made to revolve. The messages are
both sent and received by the aid of a
dynamo. 1t is believed that with the
successful operation of the system
letters to the length of 800 words can
be transmitted by the telegraph at no
greater cost than by the postal rates
now in effect.D

For that reason the almost endless
number of hearty testimonials that
are received from those who have the
best medical advice at their instant
disposal is double assurance of the
unequaled value of this Paine's celery
compound, which has come to be
known throughout the world as the
remedy that makes people well.
Why should one waste the oppor-
tunity of gaining health and vigor by
temporizing with any of the many

Long sufferers from nervousness,
dyspepsia and neuralgia should not
think their patience a virtue. 1t Is

Not only these disorders, but all
other effects of low nervous vigor can
be absolutely cured, and permanently
cured, by building up the nervous
strength and purifying the blood with

An calling habit" is easily to fall

organic trouble conclude that they are
invalids, and make no determined ef-
fort to get well until they become q

to themselves. What they need is to
drive out the ciogging, Supplying
humors from their blood and nourish
their irritated nerves by means of
Paine's celery compound.
