Twentieth Anniversary.

About one hundred of the friends o.
Rev. and Mrs. Garrett assembled al
the Bristol parsonage on Saturday
evening to assist in celebrating the
twentieth anniversary of their mar
riage. The people were cordially well
coined by the pastor and his amiable
wife and were made to feel thoroughly
at home. Their bright and happy
countenances we're unspeakable evil
dence that the happiness OF their mar
ried life had not waned in their twenty
years walk together.
The evening was very pleasantly
passed in conversation and listening tC
some fine music, after which an elegant
lunch was served consisting of cake
and ice cream. The brides cake de-
serves special mention, but was not one
whit too fine for the lovely bride. m go
Words of good will and kindness
were heard on every hand for the
pastor and his wife and number oil
substantial remembrances we're left
with them. Though only having beer
located in Bristol since October, Rev
and Mrs. Garrett have won, by their
kindness and courtesy, the respect o
all. May they remain here to celebrate
their silver wedding.

THURSDAY, MAY IL, 1899.

WITH this issue the TELEGRAPH
COURIER completes its sixtieth year.
It has witnessed the growth of Keno
sha from the struggling village OF
Southport to beautiful city of no lit
tie 0pulence and Importance 1t has
watched the progress of Wisconsin
from territory to great and repre-
sentative state. It has followed the
development of the United States from
strapping youth to stalwart manhood.
1t has recorded the events of three
great wars, the Mexican, the civil and
the Spanish American, and has been
associated with the political struggles
of the United States from the Wing
Democratic days of Harrison and Van
Buren, up to the present time, When
viewed from the standpoint OF years it
is old, but in the light of history its age
seems Methusalan. During the three
score years of its existence Wisconsin
and the United States have written the
bulk of their history. The columns of
the old TELEGRAPH and COURIER
record the greater part of it that is
important, and while they reflect both
the spirit of epublicanism and that of
Democracy, they are characterized by
fairness and candor. Their perusal
inspires a respect for both of the great
political parties of the nation which it
is TO be hoped the TELEGRAPH CoUR-
Ter will never lose, nor, by it's politics,
whatever they may be, cause to be
abated.

BICYCLE AS CORRESPONDENT.
New use is Found for the steed of Steel
in the Divorce Court.

The bicycle has always been very
important factor in the history CT life
in this city, and if all reports are true
a new use has been found for the steed
of steel; and a story comes from the
North side that in the near future a
suit for divorce will be filed in which a
Sterling bicycle will b. named as the
correspondent.
The story goes that on last Saturday
we'll known North side resident and
his wife went out for bicycle ride and
after they had gone short distance
the lady was forced to stop on account
of puncture in the wheel she was
riding. She asked that her husband
wait until after she had repaired the
puncture, but the man demurred and
said that he had come out for ride
and refused to lose several hours of
wheeling in order to repair a puncture
in a second grade wheel. The husband
rode away and since that time has not
been seen. The woman will ask for a
divorce and in her complaint she de-
clares that her husband has abandoned
her because he cared more for his
bicycle than he did for her. Ae

WILLIAM GRIFFITH.
REPORTS of the Philippines are very

REPORTS Of the Philippines are very
encouraging. Together with the dis
patches from Manila telling of contin-
ued victories of American arms and
renewed evidences of encouragement
and decentralization among the Fill
pinos come reports from Washington
which are reassuring and indicate a
feeling of relief among the heads of the
nation. The fact that Rear Admiral
Watson has been appointed to succee /
and relieve Dewey is very good evil
dence that the stress of affairs in the
Philippines is about ended. Moreover,
the departure of President Mckinley
from the Capitol is a good omen.
President Mckinley has shown himself
always DESTROYS of being at the helm
when trouble of any kind is apparent.
The reports of his i'll health having
been authoritatively denied, his trip to
Hot Springs cannot be attributed to
that. The natural inference, there
fore, is that President Mckinley feels
that the pressure under which he has
beea labcring since the Filipino insur-
rection began, has been appreciably
diminished His absenting himself
from Washington is satisfactory cor
roboration of the frequent reports
issuing from the seat of government OF
late expressing the belief of those in
authority that the Filipino war is at an
end.
Rear Admiral Watson will be at
Manila in about five weeks. His
arrival there will not be the signal fol-
Admiral Dewey's departure, as Ad-
miral Dewey will be left TO his own
discretion in that matter. When
Dewey hoists anchor and sails from the
scene of his great victories it will be all
the evidence required to entirely satisfy
the people of America that the dis
tressing war in the Philippines is q
thing of the past. In the meantime
all the information current relative tC
the Philippines and the progress Of
events there is of character to keep
up the national good spirits.

z PECULIAR SUIT.
Bicycle Raf1e Results in the Leaders
Being Brought Into Court.

A peculiar suit was on the docket in
Justice Skaters court today over the
possession OF a bicycle, which was
ratified off by "a young man named
Joseph Seully, few days ago. 1t
seems that the rattle was not conducted
on strictly business principles and the
courts are now asked to decide who is
the real owner of the bike.
According to the story about one
hundred chances were sold on the
wheel and when the drawing was held
few nights ago the lucky was Is.
This ticket was held by Tom O'Donnell
and he at once claimed the wheel as
soon as the result of the drawing was
announced. Whan he went to take
possession of the bike he was informed
that as he was not present at the draw
ing and did not claim the wheel they
had proceeded with the rattle and the
wheel had been duly won and delivered
to another party.
The ease was brought up in court
under the guise of a replevin suit and
as the plaintiffs in the action had not
put up any Little Wheels" for the
use of Attorney Bohmerich the action
was dismissed. As there are about a
dozen claimants for the bicycle the
matter will probably occupy the atten-
ton of the justice court for some time.

Council Decides to Fight the Railroad Co.
With Best That Can be Obtained.


With Best That Can be Obtained.
Pursuant to the call of Mayor Cor
man the City Council held a special
meeting last evening for the purpose of
deciding the course to be adopted by
the city in the present suit against the
Milwaukee Light, Heat and Traction
Co. All the members of the Council
were present and it was the unanimous
opinion that the fight should be
continued.
In the matter of engaging extra
counsel the Council referred the matter
to Aid. Tarbell as the chairman of the
Judiciary committee, who with the as
sistance of the Mayor, will have
authority to hire another attorney to
assist City Attorney Bohmrich. Charles
Quarles, of Milwaukee, will probably
be the man selected. He was COM
municated with by the Mayor this
morning and it is said that he agreed
to be retained by the city. 1t is also
stated that Attorney James Cavanagh
of this city has been retained by
private parties interested in the matter
and that he also will assist the City
Attorney. Other attorneys will be
employed if it is considered necessary
by the Mayor and Aid. Tarbell.
At the meeting last evening the
Council also ordered Contractor Rut-
ledge to begin the work Of paving Park
and Wisconsin streets at once. The
work will be started this week and it
will probably be completed by the first
of July.
No other business of Importance was
transacted.

JOINS THE ASSOCIATION.
Kenosha Country Club is Now a Member
of the Western Golf Association.

The directors of the kenosha Coun-
try club held their regular monthly
meeting Tuesday evening, and large
amount of business important to the
club was transacted.
After the usual routine business the
directors received the report of the
golf committee, who reported the list
of fixtures for the coming season. The
list is not as yet in shape to be made
public, but it will be published later.
The games as scheduled provide for
con ests of some sort for almost every
Wednesday and Saturday during the
season. The season proper will begin
on Memorial day, with the Memorial
day handicap.
The directors after they had sue
ceeded in arranging the schedule took
up the question of the club allying
itself with the new Western Golf Asso
citation, and it was decided that. the
best interests of the club and the
members would be advanced by such
an alliance. This morning Secretary
Strong was notified that the Kenosha
club had been entered as one of the
members of the Association.
The first honorary members of the
club we're elected at the meeting last
evening, and this distinguished honor
will be given to Hon. q. A, Cooper and
Capt. j. G.. Warren, of the United
States engineer corps. Both of these
gentlemen have been guests of the club
at different times, and have always
shown greas interest in its advance
ment.

school Observance of Memorial Day

School observance or memorial LAY,
There will soon be with US day
which ought to be, to every true
American, the most solemn of any
shaken from the hand of eternity. On
that day the white haired veterans of
civil war will walk in silence and cad
ness to lay wreaths of flowers on the
graves of their fallen comrades. Here
is a simple and touching act and one
filed with infinite pathos and tender
ness. 1t is a great object lesson in
patriotism. 1t is an act which mutely,
but eloquently speaks our feelings for
those who gave their lives that this
nation might live" These veterans
belong to a constantly diminishing
army. At every early roll call when
certain names are called, the answer is:
F" mustered OUT But a few more
Memorial days and other hands must
streW flowers on the graves of oul
country's dead defenders. This sacred
trust must be committed to the care Of
those who are now in the morning Of
life.
/ recommend that every teacher IN
the public schools have exercises such
as shall teach the boys and girls the
lesson of what these men fought for,
why they fought, what all came OF 1t,
and what debt the present generation
owes to the past. Without the work OF
these men the word liberty would have
been scott, government by the people
a failure, free public schools a dim
tradition, and the name " America"
reproach. Our flag would have been
rag, and every born American man
without country.
| advise that on this day of days the
school room be decorated with flags
and flowers. Write appropriate mot
toes in red, white and blue on the
board. By all means read Abraham
Lincoln's address at Gettysburg. 1t is
the most natural, fullest of tender feel
ing, most touching and pathetic of any
words spoken by mortal man.
Read the living, breathing words of
other great Americans. These grand
men and women form lofty ideals for
our youth. A nation without great
ideals, one not thrilled with the holy
emotion of patriotism is in the extrem-
ity of death and is not worth fighting
for. Teach our youth that there are
things worse than war. National dis
honor is worse. A righteous war
develops patriotism. 1t calls out the
loftiest themes of orators, statesmen
and poets. It's hideous horrors are
relieved by the angelic touch of sweet
charity. A nation which will not fight
for it's homes, it's honor and it's existence
has rotted down into putrid mass of
nerveless degenerates.
The function of our schools is much
more than the coming of books. Let
our youth be taught to reverence the
flag, to love their native land and to
cherish those virtues which will ever be
deemed sacred as long as our race
endures.
