The Columbian Comedy company
had a very fair house to play to
Wednesday evening. The bill was
The Silver King" and it was very
we'll presented. In fact there is little
question but that it was the best pre-
sentation made by the company this
week so far. All the parts of this ex-
cellent play were well taken and were
very satisfactory every way.
A clever swindle practiced IN certain
parts of the state is that of the travel
ing salesman with a small, inferior look
ing potted plant, appearing to emit a
sweet, pungent odor that comes from a
bottle of strong perfume concealed in
the dirt. The plant is represented to
be native of the Holy Land or some
foreign country, three seeds of which
may be purchased for so cents. Lady
window gardeners in the country farm
houses are largely the victims.

MONIES.

Trick by his gambit opening North
says: "The is the best card l have in
spades 1t is in the other suits that [ hope
to make tricks
Trick 2.-West gives partner credit for
the ace and probably other strength in
spades, and being weak in trumps aims to
make what there is in the spades before
starting another suit. North begins to
play the cards of his gambit suit down
ward-9, then 6, then 5, then 2-just as
though he led each time, which is the
usual method Of playing such suit, in
order to indicate, when you drop the
smallest card, that you are out of 1t. East
wins this trick in order to continue the
spades.
Trick 3.-North drops to the 2 in spades
in order to make East think he has no
more, and so to stop the suit.
Trick 4.-East therefore switches" to
the diamonds.
Trick 5.-South, being strCng in trumps,
plays the long suit game, with the small
card opening. His lead of clubs has the adj
ditional purpose of going through the suit
which, by his discard of diamonds, West
has shown to be his strongest North,
giving the strength in clubs to South and
West, quite properly illnesses against East

ners hand as all trumps and clubs, and
also crediting him with trump strength
on account of the small card opening in
clubs and having the diamond suit guard
ed, plays for the clubs, boldly throws the
king of trumps and, winning goes on
with the small one
Tricks to 12.-South and his partner
easily make good their winning cards, IN
spite of the fact that the original opening
was from worthless suit-a genuine sac
rifice or gambit If North had opened his
clubs instead, it would have been much
harder TO bring them in, as analysis OF the
hands will show, because the proper way
Of going about it would not have been 50
clearly shown as 1t was by the slow but In

WANTS GOOD ROADS.
A Correspondents views on Laws Re-
CURED to Make Them

Mr.. EDITOR. Whereas, The public
highways are at certain times of the
year almost impossible and the present
law is inadequate, therefore it is nee
essary to pass an act by legislation to
make road work more compulsory.
The present law, known as the Apple
law, should be repealed, and the old
law of 1895 town laws, should be re-
instated, as that law only costs the
farmers few days of work, which he
will hardly miss at the end of the year.
Frequent snow storms blockade the
road, sometimes a freshet washes out
bridges, planks rot and will have to be
replaced, All of this necessitates
overseers in every district. The old
system is good one, and should be
re-instated at the coming legislature.
But will say that the Apple law, as
we'll as the old system, is not sufficient
to give us good roads as We ought and
must have, to make our roads what
they ought to be. The only way to
have good roads is to improve certain
main highways. To do this, special
will require an act Of the legislature,
leVying an annual tax of not less than
three 81 nor more than four ca mills
on all taxable property in the county.
This is especially applicable to the
counties of Kenosha, Racine, Milwau-
kee and Waukesha, and many others
would profit with the same measure.
/ mention these four counties in
particular, as it will be almost neces-
sary for them to take united action, as
the main highways would be affected
by failure to so unite them. The
supervisors of the different towns
should be the superintendent, unless
otherwise determined by a vote of the
town. This tax should be levied and
collected the same as the general taxes.
The town treasurer to hold such fund
as road fund, and to pay out the
same to the order of the town chair
man and clerk, the superintendent to
present their bills to the town board,
who shall audit them the same as
other bills against the town. The
roads to be improved to be determined
by the supervisors of the different
towns. The highways to be improved
should not be more than three miles
apart and should be thoroughfares
leading through the counties men,
toned, to the leading business centers.
This would guarantee to the farmers
good roads at very slight cost, and it
would be possible to keep the main
roads in an excellent condition at all
seasons of the year. as soon as they are
in this condition, then the side roads
can be improved thus no farmer
would be more than one and one-half
miles from an improved highway.
Would it not be we'll, my farmer
friends, to give this matter our atten-
ton. l do not claim my ideas to be
perfect, but they could be added to
until perfect.

PHONES FOR NOTHING.
The Effect of an Opposition Company In
Upper Michigan.

Upper Michigan.
Why is not Kenosha blessed with a
telephone war, like the one waging in
upper Michigan at present? Repre-
sentatives of the Bell Telephone COM
pany are at present canvassing Ish-
peming, offering their former patrons
free service for the coming year. The
opposition of the Marquette County
Telephone company is such that the
Bell people are compelled to give their
telephones away as an inducement TO
people to use them. It's local list has
been reduced to less than twenty live
instruments, while the new company
has 275 in use with more being added
daily. In view of the tact that nearly
100 representative men of the county
are interested in the new company,
inducements offered by the Bell COM
pany will not injure them to any great
extent. Free service will also be Of
fered the Negaunee people by the Bell
company.

A STUFFED SALAMANDER.
One That Is On Exhibition in a Down
Town Saloon window.

There is a stuffed salamander in one
of the windows of a Main street
saloon. The animal was brought here
by Fred Madison when he returned
from his summer tour with the Ringing
Bros. circus. 1t was presented to his
brother-in-law, Charles Heating. The
animal is South American by natiV
ity and died, so Mr.. Heating stuffed it,
The salamander is a genus of ba
trachian reptiles, having some atfinities
with lizards, but more with frogs. 1t
has an elongated body, four feet and a
long tail, which gives 1t the general
form of lizard. There is vulgar
notion that the salamander will endure
fire, but nothing could be greater
mistake.
