On account of poor health, and not

His weight at the present time being
about 1900 pounds; a coal black; IL
hands l inch high; very heavy bone
and very compact; solid, smooth built
horse: with a star on forehead, and a
long, heavy main and tail. 1t will be
remembered that this horse and one of
his colts took the first prize at the
Lake County fair in the fall of 1898.
He will make the season of 1899 at his
home, and stand for service at So 100 for

ROSE rs DISCHARGED.
Evidence Against Him Not suf1cient to
Convict Him as Charged.

James W. Rose, who was arrested
about week ago Oh a charge ofkeep-
ing disorderly house at the CONNER
cial Hotel,Ihad preliminary hearing
before Justicea Slater, .and at the re-
quest of thesdistrict attorney the case
against him was dismissed.
Considerable evidence wasintroduced
to prove,the charges and to the casual
observer itlwould seem that the evil
dence was ample TO sec1re convic-
ton. Miss Helen Kreis, of Racine,
who was,the prosecuting witness in the
case was OH the stand fer over an hour
and stated positively that she had
been permitted to use the Commercial
as house of prostitution. Notwith-
standing this fact the evidence
showed that all her dealings with the
hotel had been with a man employed
as night clerk and ::at no time was it
shown that she secured a room from
the proprietor in person. After con-
sidering the evidence the district at
torney asked for the dismissal of the
defendant. 1t is reported that another
action may be brought against Rose
later in which.:s thes evidence will be
sufficient for the ...of1cers to secure a
conviction. Notwithstanding the fact
that Rose wass.lacquitted it is not
thought that Shegfwill remain az the
keeper of the Commercialshotel for any
length OF time asaMr... Rhode the pro-
prietor states that heI has refused to
renew the lease which will expire in
the early part.oflJuly.
After the departure of the present
occupants of the house it will be refitted
and opened as a first class hotel.

Parcel Delivery wagons Announce an In

The formation of the Drayman's un-

the parcel delivery wagons gin the city
and they have announced that in the
future they will not make any deliver
les in any part of the city for ten cents.
The merchants who have been largely
the supporters of this industry say that
they will cease to patronize them now
that the price has been raised to 70
cents. The parcel men on theOther
hand state that the business has been
a losing one On account of the fact
that when the merchants had parcels
to deliver near the city they always
deliver the packages themselves, and
that all the business given to the deliv-
cry wagons was parcels which would
have to be carried for several miles. 1t
was usually supposed that the parcels
men were making small fortune out OF
the business, but the advance in prices
will make a great difference 10 the
bulk of the business, Itss SAT that
no agreement has been made by the
delivery men but an effort is being
made to complete such union.

THE ministers in Marshalltown,
Iowa, have gone into trust, and have
served notice upon the State Board of
Control that they will no longer preach
sermons at state institutions for So
each, but after July l must be paid SIS
a sermon. We are of the opinion that
these ministers have shut themselves
out from a good thing, and have enter
ed into trust that will not kill but
rather develop competition. At S. a
sermon from regularly ordained
minister We shall have any number of
men and women offering their services
gratis, just to show that they can do
as well as the preacher. Anybody
can sermonize. Probably before the
matter is ended those ministers will be
sorry tkat they were so insistent in
their demands for higher prices.

ABOUT POsTALs CARDS.
An Important Ruling That Will interest
Business Men of Kenosha.

An important ruling has been re-
ceived from the postmaster general
with reference to the business of adver-
Using cards. 1t appears that mer-
chants all over the country have be-
come mixed with reference to the
proper construction to be placed upon
the act and a great deal of trouble has
resulted.
The decision set aside that formally
entered and which gave rise to much
of the trouble The postmaster general
now rules that cards must not be OF
greater length than five and onehalf
inches and of greater width than three
and one fourth inches. Some of the
merchants have been making use of
the cards nearly twice as large. Any
color card may be used and they must
bear the following words on the ad
dress side: "Private Mailing Card,
Authorized by Act of Congress, May
19, 1898 ('Postal Card Carte PostaleO s"
EngraYings and advertisements may
be printed on the address side of the

Thomas Powell May Marry the Girl Whose
Life He Saved Years Ago.
Thomas Powell of Paris, Kenosha
county, has fallen heir to $4,000 and
there is an interesting story back of it.
Mr.. Powell was railroad man and en-
gagged at Stevens Point, Wis. One day
he distinguished himself by stopping a
runaway team of horses, saving a
wealthy lady and her daughter from
being badly hurt or killed.
The husband OF the lady died short
time ago and in his will left Mr.. Powell
SIS, 900. An attachment sprung up be-
tween Powell and the daughter soon
after the happening and it is said in q
few days announcement cards of their
marriage will be issued.

Why Coins Are Struck,

The principal reason that coins are
struck and not cast is the wcn-l-rown
fact that molten metals cg- ,rs.- on

are always cast, show fatal variations
in size, which authentic stamped coins
do not. Secondly, it is impossible 10 get

OF striking coins is infinitely cheaper
