Proposed improvements i.

At the last meeting of the county
board County Agent Gonnermann was
ordered to draw up plans for the res
modelling of the county jail and present
them at the next meeting of the board.
The work is about complete and the
new plans if accepted by the board will
give Kenosha county one of the finest
and most modern jails in Wisconsin.
The first change in question will be
the building of a special room for che
accommodation o. tramps in order to
keep this class away from the regular
prisoners. All the old cells will be
taken out and replaced by two story
movable cells. These cells will be fit
ted up with the latest modernimprove-
ments, which will add to the con-
venience and comfort of the prisoners.
About the cages will be placed cor
ridors and all will be able to be kept in
splendid sanitary conditions by a new
method of cleansing. A special part of
the jail will be set off for the accommo-
datiOn of women prisoners, and a
packed cell will be put in for the use of
OBTAINING insane patients. The new
improvements, if carried out, will be
amply sufficient for the accommodation
of the county for several years and can
be made at an expenditure of about
$4,000. The members of the county
board are all heartily in favor of the
scheme and the plan will probably be
adopted. e,

TREVOR.

While the wind was raging and the
snow blowing as if the banks of a dozen
years were sitting down upon us on
Saturday, Jan. %, the ladies of the
Congregational church society of Lib
erty Corners in Salem, were congratu-
lating themselves that upon the beau
tifuI day before they had held social
at the residence of Ward Bloss, where
dinner was served at l o'clock p. NJ. to
the older people and supper at p. m.
to all, young and old. The meals were
served according to printed bill Of
fare. The heading read conumdrum
social. ALI entered the guessing arena
with good nature and an evident de-
termination to understand the correct
answer to the question and gave to
those in charge of tables their orders
accordingly.
After partaking of the bountiful re-
past the evening was spent in games,
singing and music. The pastor, the
Rev. Mr. Moore, with his friend and
classmate from school contributed
nicely in the entertainment. Although
the society is small the ladies merit the
success they made of the first social of
it's kind in Liberty There were about
one hundred present and the net re-
ceipts of the evening were $50, for
which they feel grateful to the friends
in the home circle and especially to
those around it who gave their aid and
presence in making the evening a most
enjoyable one. Between IL and II
o'clock they began to dispense to their
several homes, leaving the unanimous
verdict of a pleasant time.

wHALEBACK TO BE SOLD.
Famous lake Greyhound Passes Into the
Hands of the Goodrich Co.

The large steel steamer, Christopher
Columbus, which is commonly known
as the Whaleback," has been sold to
the Goodrich company, owners of the
Virginia, which has been for several
years the great rival of the I" Whale
back.n The two steamers will be run
by the Goodrich Co., between Chicago
and Milwaukee. During the last sea-
son the two vessels caused great deal
of excitement by their daily races.
The vessels were very evenly matched
and the races were of universal inter-
est. Since the sale of the Whaleback
the American Steel Barge company,
former owners of the Whaleback, will
build large steel vessel which will be
by far the largest vessel on the great

STORY OF EARLY KENosHA.
How Col Michael Frank Welcomed Presi-
dent Johnson

OGuI JOuuSOu.
The following story, told by Louis
Sholes, son of the late c. Latham
ShoIes, the inventor of the typewriter,
and at one time editor of the Kenosha
Telegraph, will be of great interest to
the old residents of Kenosha. The
story is as follows:
My father was collector of customs
for the Milwaukee district at that time
and made rnO rip to Chicago on the
Johnson. Just before leaving the city
he wired Colonel Michael Frank, edi-
tor OF the Kenosha Telegraph and au-
thor of Wisconsin's public school sys-
tenn, that he would reach Kenosha on
the Andy johnson at certain hour.
AS the dispatch reached Colonel Frank
it read that the collector would be at
Kenosha with Andy johnson
" Colonel Frank sent word through
town that the president would visit
Kenosha that day. When the Andy
landed nearly all of the men, women
and children in the city were scattered
along the shore. watching for a chance
to see President Johnson. Colonel
Frank and a large committee elbOwed
their way through the excited crowd
to the steamer. Captain Martin
thought the people were showing deep
interest in his new cutter and Collector
Sholes couldn't understand why all the
people of his old home should turn out
to welcome him.
where's the PRESIDENT asked
Colonel Frank.
In Washington, | suppose, said
Collector Sholes.
"'Then why did you telegraph me
he was with yOu?'
al didn't
"'Here's your dispatch; read it,
" 1T is little twisted, colonel, that's
all. Andy johnson is not with me,
but I am with the Andy Johnson, and
here she is. How do you like the new
cutter?'
When the people learned of the
mistake the nice old town was filled
with mirth as never before"

It is not surprising that paper that has reached the low plane occupied by the Gazette since Mir. Leitch assumed direct editorial control should attempt to create the impression that the decis- ion of the general land office governing the cutting of mesquite wood was in f1uenced by The Republican and the coal and transportation companies of fhe territory. Leitch knows better, but he thinks he sees a chance to make a little political capital by playing the demagogue, and he may be eX- pected to harp on this string for some time. The one gratifying feature of this miserable business is that Leitch is now appearing in his true colors. It is Leitch, not the wicked partner" |" who is engaged in this cheap bit of demagogy. The wolf has finally cast aside the sheep's garments.

WE HAVE THE "SINEWS."

In order to prosecute war in these days a nation must be well provided with money. Without depreciating the value of patriotism, of brains, of the justice of a cause for which a nation goes to war, the fact remains that to- day more than ever before in the his tory of the world money is "the sin ews of war"
 Uncle Sam has these sinews we'll developed. He puts his hand in his pocket and takes out $50,00O,00O in preparation for a possible war, and the next day the bonds of the United States advance all around from l to 11a points in the market
 The war scare set in about February 25. From that date to the present, gold, instead of flying the country, has poured in in a large stream. During this period, covering the war excite ment, the receipts of gold and en- agreements of that metal to arrive reached the sum of $12,775, 900. And the estimate of what is left due us on trade balances abroad, which will come to us sooner or later in gold, rises towards $3OO, 1000, ,0OO.
 How are the sinews of Spain? Span ish bonds stand at 575s, while those of the United States have reached 123. Spain begs in vain for loans from the great banking houses of Europe, and when she seeks to strengthen her navy by the purchase of additional vessels of war she is met by the demand for spot cash before delivery.
 Spain is loaded down with a debt of $1,251, ,453, ,696, or $70 for every one of her population of 17,55O,O0O The bonded indebtedness of the United States is less than S14 per capita, amounting to $S47, ,365, ,620 for our 75,- 100000 of population. In that which Spain is a pigmy alongside the giant republic of the western hemisphere
 Some people are surprised that our little fracas with Spain attracts no more attention abroad. This indiffer- ence is in part, no doubt, due to the fact that Europe has troubles of it's own to occupy it's care. But the con- trolling sentiment undoubtedly is that with such preponderance of resources there can be no prolonged disturbance and no question as to the result
