OUR CITY SOLONS.

The Writer attended, the call meet
ing of our city solons Wednesday
afternoon. And after noting some
of the legislation done, taking in
past ap5 present events and oc-
currences, he was forced to pass
this conclusion, viz "a queer COM
bination.
Read the past of our city; study
the History of other cities and
their Legislators, and no counter
part will be found. Ours is strict
" the original set of city fathers.
Strictly honest, all of them;
meanining to do right, aiming for
the general interest, the idiosyn-
ecracies of certain members are so
sKaleidescopical that that genius
doesn't live who can tell just in
what direction their whims are
going to take turn.
In fact we doubt if, they know
themselves. We rather lean to
the idea that they, like the prima-
tive hardshell Baptists, give no
thought as to what they shall do or
say in advance, depending on
the inspiration of the
time for the proper to do;
the correct action to perform.
On this occasion all the Coun-
cilmen were in their seats; due in a
large measures no doubt, to the
belief that "hot stuff was in store
because the person was going to
"skin Brother jones'"

BIKE THIEF BOUND OVER.
He valves Examination and is Placed
Under Bonds of $500.

Chief Stemm went down to Wauke-
gan on the 4:52 p. m. train Monday
and got the man who had run away
with Harry Baldwin's wheel. They
returned on the 9 o'clock train. This
morning the fellow was taken before
Justice Slater to face the charge of
grand larceny 1t was very sad
scene presented there. The young
man gave his name as Ernst McMar-
tin, and his age as Is years. he was
under medium height, appeared we'll
dressed, but if anything seemed to be
somewhat deficient in his mental caliber
He made no attempt to resist the
charge launched against him. The
moment the charge was read to him he
replied that he was guilty.
Then the justice fell to questioning
the young man. In reply McMartin
said he had come to this country from
Belgium six years ago. He had no
parents nor relatives that he knew Of,
and was entirely friendless. He had
been a grocery clerk in Republic,
Mich, and had wandered down this
way in search of work, having paid his
railroad fare all the way, stopping off
at all the stations to look for work.
When he got here he ran out of
money, and tried to get work at the
various factories, but received no en-
couragement. He could not say why
he had stolen the wheel further than
that he wanted to go further on to
look for work. The boy looked and
acted as though he was telling a
straight story, and the sympathy of
the crowd was with him, but that
could do him no good. The court
found that there was probable cause to
believe him guilty, and bound him over
to the September term of the circuit
court in bonds of $500. Being unable
to furnish bonds he was remanded
back to jail.

UNDER A TERRIBLE CHARGE
Nicholas Fack Charged With Criminal
Assault Upon a Small Girl.

Nicholas Fack is at the county Jail,
having been taken there Monday night
under the protecting wing of the law.
Ana he may thank his lucky stars
that be got there safely, for there was
a man on his track who would have
dealt harshly with him if he had been
found before the police got him. He
stands charged by Fred Feldschau,
the ice dealer, with having criminally
assaulted his little daughter, child
not yet 5 years of age. The story of
the terrible crime is too revolving in
its details for public print. DR.. Helen
Harbert ana DR.. W. M. Farr held
consultation over the child this morn
ing and decided that there is undoubt-
eddy good case against the monster.
The deed is said to have been COM
mitted in the Feldschau barn on the
North side.
Fack is a man of about 81 or %
years of age. and was driver of one
of Feldschau's ice wagons. He was
taken before Justice Slater this after
noon for his preliminary hearing, but
this was adjourned on motion of Dist
riot Attorney Buckmaster, so as to
give him time to work up the evidence
until next Saturday at 9 o'clock m.
The bonds were fixed at $1,000.

HAD AN UNFORTUNATE TIME.
A Kenosha Lady Gets Tangled UP in Her
Wheel.

The Racine Journal says: 3" Saturday
afternoon several men employed on a
farm near Berryville were alarmed by
hearing lady cry for help. Gazing to
the east they saw the lady lying on the
ground, and there was evidently
struggle going on. Imagining that a
tramp had assaulted some woman, the
men picked up clubs and started in the
direction of the lady, and the nearer
they got the more convinced they be-
came that a tramp was holding her
down, and they fully determined to
brain the fellow then and there. Ina
CINE their surprise when they found
that it was woman whose skirts had
become so entangled in the chain of
her bicycle that she could not move
and was obliged to lie on the ground
with the wheel on top of here and yell
for help. Il was necessary to cut her
dress half off before she could be re-
leased. The lady belonged to Kenosha
and borrowed another dress from a
friend in order to get home"

WY SILVER DOLLARS ARE ma DE

''Every year there is a demand for
silver dollars,'' says Director of the
Mint Preston. He explains that the
demand comes chiefly from the south
and southwest, the colored people pre-
ferring the white metal to bills. The
banks send their treasury notes to
Washington, the treasury redeems
them in silver dollars and destroys
the notes. Later in the year the
greater part of these silver dollars
find their way in the treasury again
and are replaced by silver certificates.
When the stock of silver dollars runs
low the mint is obliged to coin more.
This process continues all the time,
treasury notes being exchanged for
silver dollars, bullion coined to make
new silver dollars, and the silver dol
lars being ultimately locked up in the
treasury, but covered by silver GER
tificates. "It is in this way" says Di-
rector of the Mint Preston, 'tthat the
stock of treasury notes is being di-
minished and the issue of silver GER
tificates increased
