agement have the confidence
of all the people and by this
means have secured extra
large deposits. These de-
poslts are something near
$500, 900, and not more than
$4,000 of which is from
Sharp county. Hence we
have over 100000 which
our" cotton commands to
say nothing of other prod
ucts which the farms of
Sharp county produce that
is taken from US as a cir
culatlng medium. The
cause for this is in our own
stars. The reason this
money d oes not remain here
is because we buy all our
shoes, wollen and cotton
goods, brooms, vinegar, mo.
lasses, tobacco, plow stocks,
wagons, rope, furniture,
saddles, harness and many
other things in St. Louis
when we should have fact
cries at home; and all these
things thirty years ago were
made at home. Sharp coun.
ty alone from the best es-
tlmates we can get buys of
these articles annually in
St Louis, S170, 900. These
articles, cotton and wollen
goods, shoes, tobacco, in
fact everything which is
consumed by our people ex.
cept sugar and coffee, can
be manufactured here. We
have all the raw material.
A careful investigation
into these facts will con-
vince any candid man that
as long as we practice our
present system of buying
goods, we will gradually
become poorer. Our annual
products are not sufficient
to pay for the goods we
buy in St, Louis and leave
enough money to carry or
the necessary business ot
our county. While this is
a fact and as long as we
keep it up we will gradually
; become poorer, on the other
hand, if we could secure
some home factories and
manufacture these articles
at home we would in a few
years become independent
and as time moves on we
will be the richest people
in the South.
1t does not take far
fetched reason to prove
that under our present sys.
tenn we are becoming poor.
er, While we produce
more, we buy more than in
former years. The prod.
ucts which 90 upon the
market annually, not being
sufficient to pay for the
goods consumed, our credit
is brought in to supply the
deficit. Hence we can see
how it is that the debts of

we ought TO Celebrate

Our nations birth was a great, a mo-
mentous event. The highest human
freedom and guaranty of civil rights
came with it. 1t is our duty to call to
mind the blessings of our government
and rejoice. It is our duty to meet to-
gether in great crowds and rejoice to-
gether. It is a duty we owe to our
selves, our children, and our fellow
citizens. No man with a proper regard
for his duty and a decent regard for the
opinions of his neighbors will stay at
home and work to add dollars to his
gains on this great public day. The
Old Settlers grounds at Paddock's lake
are unequalled as a place Ofgathering.
The appointments are almost perfect.
Hon. James Il. O'Connor, of Milwau-
kee, will discourse to us. Nature has
endowed him with rare gifts of oratory
and el0quence which he will use in Civ
ing expression to patriotic sentiments
which should animate every soul. Let
us go to Paddock's Lake on Monday,
July 5. filed with the patriotic inten-
ton of recounting our civil blessings
and calling to mind some Of the glor
ious incidents connected with the birth
and growth of this great nation, Of
which we are units Let us all come
together and rejoice. Master Munson
Paddock will give in his recitation,
expression to some stirring patriotic
sentiments, and in a style that is very
attractive. The Antioch band of eigh-
teen pieces will be on hand in the
morning and discourse fine music
throughout the entire day. If there
we're only the music with its patriotic
numbers it would be richly worth the
days time.
Come as early as you can, and let us
rejoice and be glad all day

Two ways out Of It.

The Congregational church people
object to cutting across the grass plat
in front of the Manse. 1t would be
next to impossible to stop the people
from cutting across the corner Of the
park, as they have done SO for the last
forty years; but walk could be put
down along the north side of the park
which would prevent the people from
crossing in front of the Manse.
Another way would be to make new
path through the park, starting where
it does now and coming out at the
northeast corner Of the park.

OBITUARY
Miss Lulu maria PETER.

Died at the home Of her mother, on
York street. Thursday evening, June
"A, 1897, Lulu Maria PETER, eldest
daughter of Mrs. Nellie LOOMS PETER
of inflammation of the bowels, aged l3
years and 10 months. The funeral
took place from the residence Sunday
afternoon, the Rev. |. W. Corey Off
ciating.
Thus passed to her final rest one Of
the sweetest natured, kindliest and
most considerable Of Kenosha's daugh-
tiers. She is sincerely mourned by a
host of little friends with whom she
associated in life. AS a sort of testi-
monial to her valued friendship the
Sunday school sent to the funeral q
beautiful pillow of roses, in forget-me-
nots on which was the word Lulu."
She was as tenderly remen bered by
her school class by huge bunch Of
roses. Besides these remembre aces
both classes attended the funeral in
bodies.
Lulu was a most loveable girl, and a
devoted little christian, iE whose
prayers her friends were daily remem-
bered. She was a regular attendant
at the Baptist Sunday school, and was
a member of Miss Ada TarbelPs room
in the High school building.
The sympathy of the entire COM
munity is extended to the sorroWing
mother, little sister, uncle and grand
mother, with whom she lived.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
Quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
SO often expressed, that Dr. Kilmers
Swamp Root, the great kidney rem
edy, fulflls every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blad-
der and every part of the urinary pas
sages. lit corrects inability to hold
urine and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urinate The mild and the eXtraOr-
binary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized 1T stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. IF you need a medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists, price fifty cents and one dollar.

A rev Freight Cars Get orosswavs of the
Track.
Tuesday night seems to have been
set aside for train wrecks. Those who
passed the railroad track in the vicinity
of Market street crossing or the depot
on or a short time after the hour of g.
were startled by seeing a few freight
cars lying across the track, rather than
on it as they should be. The cause of
this position on the part of the cars
was collision between a south bound
and north bound freight, and the
cause of said collision it is reported
was an open switch. There were
three cars that were thrown from the
track and slightly damaged. They
were set upon the track and removed
sometime during the night. All the
railroad hands are, as usual, very non
commital and express ignorance of any
thing of the nature Of a wreck. The
wreck occurred, however, these gentle
men Notwithstanding, as several resi-
dents of that part of the city who were
eye witnesses will testify.

what Was Discovered by a Fond Husband
During the Night.
a very racy story was told on the
street this morning of recent domestic
unquietness in the house of a certain
highly respected citizen of Kenosha
whose name we consider it wise to
withhold 1t seems that the above
mentioned gentleman was aroused
from his sleep Tuesday night by foot
steps in the room below On awaken
ing and fuding his wife absent he
jumped to the conclusion that the
noises below were made by her and
betook himself at once to discover the
cause thereof But when he entered
the hall he detected the footsteps of a
man thereupon concluded that a bur
glar was in the house and mentally
congratulated his noble spouse on her
heroic conduct in seeking to expel the
thief without disturbing him. But
alas for the gentleman's peace of mind
investigation proved that the supposed
house breaker was no one more or less
than well known man about town
and the actions of the better half were
not such as seemed likely to drive him
from the house. According to the
story after a deal of alteration the
affair was finally settled.
