Strength of a Grizzly,

A hunter tells some wonderful stories
about the strength of grizzly bears, says
the Youths Companion. He saw one that
had had one of it's forepaws shot useless.
use the other to draw its weight of 900
pounds up precipice, where ii seemed as
if the fact We're impossible. He tells also
of cows knocked over by a single bow
from the forepaw Of a bear; but perhaps
his most surprising story is OF an occur
renee that he witnessed three summers
ago. He says:
Il spent the season in the Coast noun
tains near Hudson Bay, and one moon
light night l saw big grizzly bear in the
act of carrying a dead COW home TO her
cub.
Il had a position on the mountainside
from which I could see every movement
of the bear in the sparsely settled timbered
valley below. She carried the COW in hel
forepaws for at least three miles, across
jagged rocks 10 feet high, over fallen
logs around the rocky mountalnside where
even a jackass could not get a foothold to
a narrow trail UP the steep mountain
'She never stopped to rest a moment
but went straight on. / followed her. and
about half a mile from her lair laid her
low. The COW weighed at least 200 pounds
and the bear about 450."

Archbishop Ireland the other day start
led Paris, or rather the portion of arIsto-
cratic Paris society which attends church
by preaching sermon on democracy and
human equality. Many of his hearers be-
longed to the old nobility, hence it was
TO them almost like sacrilege to hear a
priest say that a peasant was as good as
they. The archbishop held up America
as a glorious example for all nations, and
said that il was democracy which had
made America such a great and growing
nation.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New Orleans Picayune (Dem) ap-
proves of the negro village on Long Island
N. Y. and says: The truest philanthropy
and the wisest craftsmanship counsel the
distribution of the negroes through all the
states. The tabor of millions of them can
be profitably used in, the Northern states
with benefit to the negroes and without
real damage to the white there Such a
change in conditions would send vast
numbers of the whites from the North to
the South, where fertile lands and a genial
cline invite them to make homes and an
ply themselves to the cultivation of the
land in rural regions. In the Southern
cities where manufactures are in a most
backward state, largely for lack of skilled
labor, abundant infuxes of white workers
would soon make a vast change for the
better in the situation. 1t would be best
for both whites and blacks that the latter
should be distributed through all the
states of the union. and thereby put a
stop to the errible evils that are 100 fear
fully frequent in the states where the ne
gro population is unduly congested."
The Philadelphia Times Qnd) says of
the trouble-making Cubans: These peo-
pie wish both to eat their cake and have
1t. They viii accept the money that is
intended to start them in peaceful pur-
suits, but they prefer TO keep their arms
also, so that they can do a little BUSH
whacking on their own account AS the
principle object in paying off this so-caTed
army is TO get rid of il and its bush
whackiug ways. Gen Brooke does not
meet this idea with enthusiasm"
The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) SAYS:
'If the leading Republican newspapers
are to be regarded as speaking the pol
Icy of The administration. the annexation
of Cuba is to be surely accomplished by
fair means if possible, but ii must be an
nexed. A little thing like a solemn pledge
that we were not to annex goes a very
brief way with these gentlemen Addi-
tional territory means additional Offices
for the hungry politicians.

TWO MEN KILLED.
Peter olson and Chris. Nelson Meet Death
at Racine Under the wheels.

Peter Olson, aged 90, and Chris.
Nelson aged 81, were run down by the
1875 southbound passenger train on
the Chicago & Northwestern railway
Sunday morning just north of Racine
Junction. Nelson died ten minutes
after the accident, and Olson expired
at o'clock this afternoon.
The men had attended the Enaus
Danish church and started for home
on the south side of the river, taking
the railway track and discussing the
sermon as they went. At Eleventh
street the passenger train came UP be-
hind them and the danger signal was
sounded, but the men who were walk
ing between the two double tracks
evidently thought the train was COM
ing on the right hand track and both
stepped on the left hand track directly
in front of the train and were struck
and thrown many feet before the train
could be stopped. Both were badly
mangled about the legs and body.
Olson leaves a wife and eight chill
dren, and Nelson a wife and seven
children. Both families are in poor
circumstances. An inquest was held
today.
The two men were both well known
among the Danish citizens of this city.

ROW OVER HARDWARE.
Members of Board of Education Enjoin Con
tractors from Using Certain Brand.


It was to have been hoped that the
new school building on the North side
would be completed without further
wrang1ing but it seems that this is not
the case and this morning it is an
nounced that the committee on build
ing and grounds of the board of educa-
ton are mixed up in bad squabb1e
over the hardware to be used in the
building. All sorts of charges have
been made and some members of the
committee have gone so far as to en- join
the contractor from using the hardware
purchased by some of the committee.
Chairman Pinzger of the building and
grounds committee was seen this
morning and when asked in regard to
the trouble he stated that the matter
would probably come up for discussion
at the next meeting of the board. ELe
said that he was the one who was
blamed by the members of the commit
tee who we're causing the trouble. At
the time of the letting of the contract
for the building the specifications pro-
vided that the hardware to be used
should be as good as that used in the
Deming school. A short time ago the
contractor was ready for the iron and
asked that it be purchased. Chairman
Pinzger then says that he saw as many
of the committee as possible and asked
for bids for the hardware. The con-
tract was let in due time. This was
done without consulting three mem
bers of the committee commissioners,
Scho1ey, eraser and Kroncke. These
men at once took exception to the ac-
ton of the ma jority of the committee
and are raising a great outcry against
the remaining members of the COM
mittee and Chairman Pinzger an
nounced this morning that they had
enjoined the contractor from using
the hardware. The majority of the
members of the board seem to be with
the chairman of the committee and the
matter will probably be settled by the
board ratifying his action. The build
ing, however, will be considerably
delayed on account of the trouble.

RECOGNIZES HIS WORTH.
supt William Griffith is Named as a Wis
itor to whitewater Normal School

County superintendent of Schools
William Griffith, of Wi1mot, has re-
ceived notice that he has been appoint
ed to the position of Chairman of the
Board of Visitors to the Whitewa ter
Normal school. The appointment was
made few days ago by State Super
intendent Harvey and came as a great
surprise to the genial Superintendent
of the Kenosha county schools. Three
visitors are appointed each year by the
State Superintendent and the entire
work of the school is under their exam
ination. They are required to examine
into the methods, organization, equip
ment, and in fact to take general
charge of the Institution.
In the appointment of Supt. Griffith
wise choice has been made. Since
Mr.. Griffith was elected to his Office in
this county he has been untiring in his
efforts to raise the standard of the Ke-
nosha schools and his work has been so
successful that it has gained for him a
reputation all over the state.
