found an abundance of "the beautiful" ;"
and so distinctly is the line marked that
within two rods of the edge of the snow
green grass and flowers grow luxuriant-

streak in one of the best locations in that
territory, there being no question of its
turning out richly. Mr.. Lawrence found
his old friends william and John HUI

AIDED BY MCKINLEY.
A. F. Larsen of this City, Sees the Per-
sonal Side of the President

A little incident has recently been
brought to light in this city, which
shows the great personal interest that
President Mckinley takes in the ad-
ministration of the affairs of his office
as chief executive.
Some time ago A. F. Larsen, of this
city, who formerly resided in Denmark,
inherited watch by the death of one
of his ancestors in his native land. He
ordered the watch to be sent to him in
Kenosha and in due time it arrived by
way of the American Express Company.
However, before Mr. Larsen could
secure his heritage from the Express
company he was forced to pay $2970,
which was slated as the duty for bring
ing the watch into the country from a
foreign land. The new possessor of
the timepiece was of the opionion that
the duty, as collected, was exorbitant
and for several months sought to Sc
cure some rabate from the custom
house officials, but without avail.
Finally, he decided to write TO the
President and seek relief. The letter
to the head official of the nation was
duly written and in the short period of
four days Mr.. Larsen received word
from the private secretary that his case
would be attended to at once. A few
days later he received letter from the
President himself, stating that he had
investigated the case and had ordered
the custom house officials at New York
to make the proper rebate to him. A
few days ago Mr.. Larsen received the
sum of SIT from the New York officials
with a notice that it had been sent at
the personal request of the head exec
utive Of the nation.
The action of the President is indie.
alive of the way in which he deals with
even the small matters of his office and
shows the deep interest that he takes
in the affairs of bis fellow citizens
Mr.. Larsen is very proud of his
personal correspondence with the
President of the United States and it
will be handed down to his pOsterity
as a priceless heirloom.

MAKE A BIG PROTEST
OPENING OF EAGLE STREET MAY
END IN THE COURTS.
THE COMMISSION is CRITICISED
Some of The Property owners Claim That
Unjust Discrimination Was Made in
Assessing Benefits and Damages
Some Incidents Cited.

There is consider able dissatisfaction
being manifested in regard to the
amounts assessed and credited to the
different pieces of property fronting
and abutting on the new street which
is being opened up through Hoilister
& Meer's subdivision to the city limits.
Some cf the property owners claim
they have been Disseminated against
and are making lively kick. Starting
on the north at Eagle street the first
piece of property is the O'Donnell lot,
which has to be bought outright. The
next property following is assessed a
balance. after deducting the benefit, OF
about 500 per lot. The assessment
gets larger as it goes farther south,
until it strikes where the road is al
ready opened. The lots here are as
eessed about $50 each, then 1t strikes
the Balm estate property where, in
stead of the balance being an assess
ment, it is benefit, and they are paid
total of some $500. This seems to
be the main bone of contention, as
most of the other property owners
claim that at least the benefits ought
to equal the assessments, and some
claim that the Balm people ought to
pay money instead of receive bal
ance.
The Balm people claim they do not
want the street put through, and have
laid out the property all in one large
block, which makes continuous block
without street Of over $50 feet, or
almost three common blocks, not
counting streets. On the other hand
a majority of the property owners af-
fected petitioned for the street, and it
has been opened, ard for the simple
fact that it was not wanted by some
people seems to have been an argu-
ment for granting this class large
damages.
The dissatisfaction over the work of
the commission is general among the
owners of small parcels of real estate
affected, and before it is finally settled
long legal contest seems evident.

A TRIP ABROAD.
william c. Shepherd Announces His Plans
for the Summer.


for the Summer
William G. Shepherd, who will be
rendered by many of the high school
boys and girls as one of the former
students of the famous institution, is in
town today calling on former friends.
Since Mr. Shepherd left Kenosha he
has resided in Chicago and Boston,
and during the last ten years he has
made reputation and fortune as a
conductor of European excursions.
Mr.. Shepherd announces his usual
summer tour of Europe.
The experience which Mr.. Shepherd
has had in foreign travel, and the sue
cess which has attended his manage
ment of parties, both in America and
Europe, is an assurance of that salts
factory result for the tour proposed
this being the 10th over the same route
This assurance is not without fair
basis-for day has never been lost,
nor has any delay occurred from sick
ness or other causes, on any tour. A
result which has been invariably &C
complished because of the attention
paid to the welfare of the party in
many ways chat are not usually in
cluded in the prospectus of any Tourist
Director The complete plan and
engagements for accommodations
throughout are always made before the
party leaves America. The company
will not be large, nor will there be any
effort made for style, and public notice
will be carefully avoided; but the OBJ
ject is always to have so complete and
satisfactory an excursion that the ret
respect may be even more pleasant
than the travel enjoyed.
Mr.. Shepherd can only say that his
best friends and references are those
who have been his companions in
foreign travel. Hotels everywhere
throughout the tour; travel by rail-
road, steamboats, and carriages, inva-
ribly the best. Carriage rides in all
the principal cities visited, and the best
of the many attractions selected for
study and enjoyment.
The idea of competition with other
managers.
The tour for this year will extend
over period of three months, during
which time the party will visit Eng
land, Scotland and nearly all the con-
tinental countries of Europe.
The price for the tour as outlined,
B oston sailing June % to Boston. due
to arrive September "a is $500. This
price covers all travelling expenses;
first class on all steamers and railroads
in Italy, second class on railroads else
where; the conveyance of $50 pounds
of baggage in England, IS pounds on
the Continent, and it's care throughout;
all fees, and admissions to museums
and galleries; hotel bills, and fees to
servants. In fact every expense of
travelling and sight seeing except fees
on ocean steamers.
1t is very probable that some of Mr..
Shepherds former friends in this city
will enjoy the trip with him during the
present summer.

RABBlT.PRooF FENCES,
Over Seventeen Thousand Miles Have
Been Erected in Australasia.

A few notes are given in the last
Annual Report of the Department of
Lands, New South Wales, regarding
the progress of the measures adopted
by the Queensland and New South
Wales Government to cope with the
rabbit pest. The erection of rabbit
proof fence from Mungindi, on the
Queensland border, to the Nanoi
River, at Bugilbone, a distance of
about 115 miles, was completed in
March, 1897. Suggestions have been
made for the continuation of this
fence, from its present termination at
Bugilbone, either in an esterly direc-
ton to Narrabri, or southerly to the
rabbit-proof fe1ce on the boundary of
Wingadee pastoral holding. The
erection of the latter line of fencing
and the bridging of gap which sep
arates the netting fences on the boun-
darles of Goorianawa and Goolthi pas
toral holdings, would bring into exis-
tence an additional barrier, some hun
dreds of miles in len tn, which would
protect nearly the whole of the coun-
ties :of White and Baradine, includ-
ing the well-known Pilliga scrub, and
practically render the greater part of
the northeastern portion of the colony
free from the inroads of the pest.
The aggregate number of miles of
rabbit-proof fencing erected in the
colony has increasedto 1880 A map
illustrating this subject is given at the
end OF the report, which shows that
along the whole western boundary no
rabbit can cross the frontier, while
two-thirds OF the northern boundary
is similarly protected. The work is
thus not one of merely local interest,
for it may be said to add new type
of boundary-the artificial biological
barrier - to those hitherto recog-
nized in political geography.-Geo.

A Mutiny in a storm .

Captain Terrence, commanding the
British tanker Tancarville, had an ex-
perience on his last outward passage
to Belfast, which he will never for
get. 1t was on January 10 last, while
weathering terrific hurricane. His
vessel was diving into tremendous
sea, and a spare propeller that was
lashed below got sdrift, and would
soou have knocked the sides out of
the ship. Captain Terrence ordered
the crew below to secure the propel-
ler and they mutinied. Heroic action
was necessary to quell the disturb
ance, and Captain Terrence was COM
PEELED to shoot three of the sailors.
One, tits understood, has since died,
and second has gone insane. Cap
tain Torrence's actions were investi.
gated by the Board of Trade, and he
was upheld by that body.-Philadel-

An Electric Hair Cut,

Paris has now hairdresser's estab.

is never used. The cutting-if so it
may be called-is done with comb
which has wire stretched along the
upper portion of the teeth. This wire
is connected electrically with stor-
age battery, When the battery is
turned on the wire becomes red hot.
Therefore, on the comb passing
through TIE hair the latter is burned
off by the red-hot wire. OF course
the wire can be regulated to stand at
any distance above the comb, so that
the hair can be cut, or rather burned
OFF, at any length. Other operations,
such az removing facial imperfections
and curling and drying the hair, are
also performed by means of electric

Any one who lights one cigarette

Of his into yours. This spoils the
best cigarette made. In fact, no one
who appreciates the fresh flavor of
newly kindled tobacco would think of
doing it. Should you be short of
matches, or particularly economical,
however, there is a method of lighting
one cigarette from another by which
you can escape the evil consequences
described. This consists of applying
the whole surface of the end of the

WISE WORDS.

1t is the black life that makes death

Talebearers furnish the fuel for the
fire of strife.
The fervent and diligent man is pre-.
pared for all things
Light thoughts are often heavy
enough to drag men down.
A heart without love in it is colder
than hearth without fire.
Set your ideals high. First think

1t is harder work to resist vices and
passions than to toll in bodily labors.
He that avoideth not small faults,

Every true achievement has within
it the seed of something better than
itself.
Every man is the father of his own
works; and fine family of failures
some men are raising.
1t is sometimes sign of cowardice
to keep silent, and sometimes sign
of foolishness to speak.

Sugar Plums, PastiIles, and Burnt Al
monds Date Back to III b. C.
The most popular and most ancient
OF bonbons are sugar plums, pastilles
and burnt almonds, but how many
persons know their history? Sugar
plums date from Roman times, for
the Romans were the first to think Of
covering almonds with layers of sugar.
Ihe inventor was a certain julius
Dragatus, a noted confectioner, who
belonged to the illustrious patrician
family of Fabius. He made this great
discovery, which has wrought so much
damage to our teeth for twenty CEN
turies, in the year 1T B. c.
These bonbons, called dragati, after
their inventor (dragees in FRENCH, re-
mained the exclusive privilege Of the
family of Fabius. But at the birth or
the marriage of one of that family a
great distribution of dragati took
place as a sign of rejoicing. This Gus
tom Is still observed by many of the
nobility of Europe.
The pastille is of far later origin,
having been invented and introduced
into France by an Italian confectioner,
the Florentine John Pastilla, a pro-
tege of the Medicis. When Marie de
Medici married Henry ~ of France
Pastilla accompanied his sovereign to
the French court, where his bonbons
had tremendous vogue. Everybody
wanted the Florentine's pastilles, and,
strange to say, they were perfection
from the beginning. He made them
with all kinds of flavors-chocolate
coffee, rose, violet, mint, wine, straw
berry, raspberry, vanilla, heliotrope,
carnation
Burnt almonds are purely of French
origin, owing their inception to the
gluttony of certain French merchant.
One day Marshal Duplessis-Pralin, an
Old gourmet, sent for Lassagne, his
chief confectioner, and promised him
great price for some new sweet that
would please his palate, dulled as it
was by all the pleasures of the table.
Lassagne, who had already invented
many toothsome dainty, was a man
of resource. He searched, he reflected,
he combined, until finally he conceiv-
ed delicious bonbon, which he bap-
tized gloriously with the name of his
master, Praline, the French for burnt
almond.
This is the history Of the invention
of bonbons, for all others are mere
combinations or developments of these
three-the sugar plum, the pastille and
the burnt almond.-New York Herald
