produce as good a growth and quality as
any land. If properly watered when first
set no more irrigation is required, even on
the mesa land, where, in fact, the best
quality is now growing. One of the secrets
of success is in curing. This, we are told
was the cause of early failures in this

THE CLAPP CASE ON TRIAL
1t is Being Holly Contested at Every
Point.

FO1uU.
The case which appears on the cir
cult court calendar as Mary Newell VS..
Sara NJ. Clapp and Charles G. Brown,
got down to business late Monday
afternoon. 1t took considerable por-
ton of the afternoon to get a jury.
The case is a rather peculiar one, and
is being fought inch by inch in most
sharp contest by Wallace Ingalls,, of
Racine, and j. Y. Quarles, of MilWau-
kee. The case concerns the selling of
some cows by the |. j. Ciapp estate to
the plaintiff some six or seven years
ago A long time after the cows had
become the property of the plaintiff
some of them were taken sick and
died. The plaintiff now sues Mrs.
Clapp and Mr.. Brown, who was ad-
ministrator of the estate, for damages
alleging that the cows were diseased
when sold. Veterinary surgeons have
been called by the plaintiff, who claim
to have attended the cattle and horses
on the Clapp farm prior to the sale.
A large portion Of the testimony ad-
duced came from them.
The case will probably occupy the
attention of the court for two OF three
days more.

THE BAKER FISHER CASE.
The Matter was Settled Between the Par
ties Today

The case which attracted such wide
attention short time ago in which
Attorney Myron A. Baker sued Will
liam F. Fisher for $4,000 damages for
an alleged rating of slow pay and hav-
ing outlawed bills standing against
him, has been settled up by the inter
ested parties outside of court. At
least, so we'll defined rumOr had it
about the circuit court room today. 1t
is not known just what terms have been
arrived at, but a gentleman who has
been connected with the case from the
start stated that the principal parties
had got together and would decide
upon all terms probably before the day
was over, and in case the matter was
all settled the parties to the settlement
would draw up statement of the mat
ter, sign it and give it to the press for
publication.
A great many people about the city
and county, who are friends to both the
parties to the suit, will be exceedingly
glad that the matter was not allowed
to go to trial in the courts. AS every
body recognizes, it was one of those
very unfortunate things which are ex-
ceedingly disagreeable and not con-
ducive to the harmony of the business
relations all the business men of the
city should maintain with all others.
This paper among the other friends
is glad of the settlement.
Later-The Statement.
The action heretofore pending in the
circuit court for Kenosha county be-
tween the undersigned, M. A. Baker,
plaintiff, and W. F. Fisher, defendant,
has this day been discontinued by mu-
tual agreement without advantage TO
either and to the entire satisfaction of
both of us.
This matter has arisen out of mu-
tual misunderstanding as to each 9TH
er's intentions and motives and we
make this statement to efface any in
jury which we may have done each
other in consequence of this suit or any
matters out of which this controversy
has arisen.

COUNCIL MEETING.
The City Council Orders Prairie avenue
Paved.

All were present at the council meet
ing Monday night The usual number
of petitions were presented and referred
to their respective committees. Among
the petitions were FIVE for rebate Ill
taxes and one for water sewer and
walks ON Crate street.
Geo. Fay was allowed $40 and G. G.
Theleen $3.50 rebate on their taxes.
The Sterling Cycle Works and Chas
FL. Sieg Manufacturing company were
rebated the full amount of their taxes
as was agreed on when they located
here.
The bills reported correct were al
lowed and new bills referred, after
which the matter Of hiring the city
engineer for another year came up.
After some discussion it was decided
that it would be impossible to get along
without an engineer as there is so much
work on hand, and j. B. Davidson was
appointed for another year at the same
salary as last year.
The short street connecting MilWau
kee avenue and North Water street,
between the north side engine house
and Ell. SchWan's store, was named
Schwan court.
The matter Of erecting cheap
building on the lake shore to keep the
street scraper, plows, etc., belonging to
the city. in out of the weather was re-
ferred TO the committee on streets,
alleys and bridges, with power to act.
The committee on electric railway
asked for more time, which was
granted.
Alderman McGivern then spoke In
behalf of the Fourth ward. He said
that although the Fourth ward proper
ty owners had paid their share of the
taxes raised for the expensive part or
outlet of the sewer system, they had
received no benefit as yet, and that
while the city had put in large num-
Der of sewers, including sewers in the
new territory, they had left the Fourth
ward without start and it was one of
the districts that needed it most He
therefore moved that the main sewer
be extended as far north as Grand
avenue. This motion was carried un-
animously.
Alderman Weyhe then brought up
the Prairie avenue paving matter and
moved that Prairie avenue be paved
from the park west to the city limits
the full width Of the street. This mo-
ton was carried by a vote of g to 2.
The clerk was ordered to advertise
for bids on the sewer extension and for
paving Prairie avenue
The aldermen of each ward we're in
structed to procure places to hold eau
cuses and to vote in their respective
wards.
The council then adjourned for two
weeks to receive bids for paving Prairie
avenue and laying sewer from Market
street to Grand avenue.

A REMARKABLE SHOWING.
The First Years Record in the Kenosha
Public Library.

Tne f1rSG year heCOTu III OH0 heAOSAd
Public Library.
That the Kenosha public has thor
oughly appreciated the public library
the past year is shown beyond doubt
by the report OF Mrs. G. P. Barnes, the
librarian, covering the year from the
date of opening. The library, it will
be remembered, was opened to the
public March IA, 1896. 1t was, there
fore, one year old last Saturday night
at the close of the day. The showing
made in the circulation of books in that
time is a most remarkable one and one
in which every citizen of Kenosha can
take the utmost pride. During the year
there were just 20, 1852 books withdrawn.
Not only this, but the circulation of the
books is growing at tremendous rate
every day. The last week was the
heaviest week of any since the library
opened, over 700 books having gone
out during that short period of time.
This showing is one which the
board of directors of the library and
the librarian congratulate themselves
and the public upon. The wisdom OF
|, the establishment of the institution is
now beyond all question. 1t has be-
come one of the most helpful educa-
tional institutions in the city and it is
entitled to the greatest of confidence
and financial support.
