The New counciI Meets.

Last night the new council met In
its first regular session. Mayor
Barrett presided, and Henry Doug
has was Oh hand as clerk. All the
councilman were present except, w.
IL. Ridd, who was out of town.
The mayor submitted a few sag
gestions that he deemed worthy of
consideration, the cardinal points
of which were as follows:
Segregation of the office of chief
of police and road overseer, with
a view to getting better service on
roads, and services of marshal when
most needed.
Sale Of public square and present
site of town hall, and using the
means thus derived to purchase a
site more suitable and adequate in
proportions.
To use the money lying idle now
in the treasury for building city
hall or other needed improvements.
High taxes of last year and loss of
crops is suggestive OF eonserva-
tive levy for city purposes this year
Some streets should be opened up
and sidewalks kept in good repair,
and considerable road work done.
The city cemetery should be inn
proved or another one, of more
favorable location, be established.
This latter proposition was turned
over to the city last night.
The mayors communication was
filed for future use.
The street committee were in
structed to finish the work of open
ing Jefferson avenue, by fencing
the street.
Some other business was taken

Indians Sunk in Almost Hopeless Bsr-
 barism Inhabit Great Areas.
 The trip of the United States gum boat Wilmington up the Amazon river promises to be looked upon as one of the achievements of the closing cen- tury. The commercial object of the Wilmington cruise was to see how rubber was found in the natural state, and what manner of man it was who dweit in the remote fastnesses of the great forests whence it came. During the gunboat,s stay the officers visited many Indian villages. Tie Indians were found to be apparently doeile, but there was no mistalzing their unciyil- ized state. Clothing, save strip or two, worn by the women, are unknown. The men are strong and muscular, and show great chest development. They are copper-colored, of middle height, with we'll shaped limbs and small hands and feet. Their hair is black, straight and rather coarse the features broad cheekbones not generally prominent, eyes black, and, strange to say, some times oblique like those of the Tartar races of Eastern Asia. The sole wea pons in their possession are the spear and bow and arrow The bows are of great length, and in the hands of a skilled native can be made formidable. In some of the native huts the Ameri- can visitors found curious objects which, on closer investigation, proved to be mummlfied human heads. This was significant, inasmuch as it proved that the tribe belonged to the class known as head hunters" term de- rived from their habit of preserving the heads of their enemies killed in battle. The process consists in remov, ing the skull and treating it with cer- tain herbs until the head has been re- duced to about one-sixth of it's original size. The hair and featu es are pre- served intact, thus giving the head a very life-like appearance. The lips are sewn together with hide thongs, upon which are recorded the details of fhe battle

A Remarkable rribate of Respect.


 Mrs. Julia Ward Howe received remarkable tribute of respect few days ago at gathering Of Unitarian women in All Souls church, New York Mrs. Howe, 80 years old, but still in her prime in wit and charm. grew tired before her speech was finished, and was unable to pitch her voice so that the women in the rear could hear. Gan Mrs. Howe raise her yoice?' came a call from the back. No" re- piled Mrs. Howe, frankly. T sai6 yes- terday should not kill myself, even for this august body. You can't ex- pect an old lady of 89 to explode in one gigantic effort" There, was ripple of laughter at this, and then the women in the back seats rose, making their way toward the front, where seats and platform were already crowded. They deliberately sat down on the floor. where they stayed throughout Mrs. Howe's address. Gray haired women mingled with young girls in this humble position. Mrs. Howes ad- dress was on .sThe Progress of the Century in Manners" There was general call for Mrs. Howe to recite sThe Battle Hymn of the Republic. :" which she did amid great applause.

ODD REASONS
ssisen for Advising People to sti
 Stamps on Straight.


 New York Tribune: Did you eve happen to think said A. Y. Rawdon of Kansas City, at the Gilsey house Of how much better it would be il people would affix stamps neatly and in an upright position upon their let, ters, instead of in the helter-skeltef manner which is generally prevalent! Besides, is it treating in fitting manner tle memory of those great ones in tht history of the republic whose features are held in living memory by means of the post? The father of his country has not come down to us historically KS one likely to enter the presence of lady on his nose, or, even when car- rytng you a notification that your bank account is overdrawn, to do so while skating along on his left eyebrow. Do you think that he who wrote the say Ing of Poor Richard and drew up tEc Articles of Confederation for the Al aany convention would stand on his heSd, even were he conscious that 1t was his lot to carry around patent medicine advertisements and book no tices? Would the conqueror of Appo mattox, after his wonderful trip around the world, rest easy if he knew he was repeating that triumphal progress every day and entering the uttermost corners Of t2e earth on his car. hif eye, or fat on his back? Or. again, ia it oeftting that the stern and rugged conqneror of New Orleans and uneom promising opponent of the United States bank should enter your pres- enee upon his right or left side? shudder even to think of him as stand ing on his head, on account of the agony this position wot.ld cause him. due to his spike-like hair. By aB means, stick your stamps on straignt. It looks better and, besides, pays a more fitting tribute to the nations dead"

INDIGO IN COLONIAL TIMES.
Ii Was Looked Upon as Sort of Cur
 rent Coin

The colonial ladies were great gar deners, and the hours they passed with their fruits and flowers must have been moments of much pleasure in their busy lives, says Longmans Magazine. Tht most famous of these ladies was the daughter of George Lucas.a planter of Carolina, and at the same time governor of Antigua, at which place he appears to have resided, leaving Miss Eliza at home. From Antigua he sent her all sorts of tropical seeds of fruits and flowers. to try if any would take kindly to the soil of Carolina. Eliza observed certain hopeful signs with re. gard to the indigo and undismayed by repeated accidents to the young plants. at length obtained a good crop. Gov. Lucas was so delighted at this un- looked for success that he sent over an Englishman to teach Eliza the whole process of indigo working. The Eng lishman, bearing gifts, seems to havv been a rather sly and tricky sort of person, but when did England eves get the better of America? The youth ldl Miss Lucas saw through the Eng lishmans dodges, this name was Grem- welD, and finally obtained a success ful knowledge and application of tho complex and annoying methods of ex- tracing indigo.'' A bounty of 6d pound encouraged the planting, and through it's profits more children were sent over from Carolina to be educated at home than from all the colonies put together. Indigo was looked upon at last as sort of current coin. and 1t is on record that when little boy was sent to school at Philadelphia, he took with aim wagon of indigo to pay his expenses.

The worlds Thtes Classes.

Some one has said that the world is divided into thfae great classes: The wills, the vents and the can'ts. The first are the actors. the second the op- posers, the third the do-nothings. To the first class belongs the honor of whatever has been accomplished by human agency, done in spite of all the hindranee the second class could bring to bear; to the third belongs nothing; and whatever the second class loses Dy it's obstinacy, the third lets pass without making an effort to secure.

Good and Bad Abreast.

The century now closing has been
the most remarkable in the worlds his
tory. Development in every direction

arc light and telephone, X-ray and

common humanity in education and in
religion, and the .agigantic contribu-
tions in missionary work and for the
help of the needy and the suffering, re-
veal, in a marked manner, the upward
embodiment and general betterance OF
the world. But while the good has
grown, has there been an accretion OF
the bad also? Mems vicious appetites,
it would appear, have not been mate
rally weakened; mems evil passions
have not been extinguished OF even
curbed. At the dawn of the twentieth
century so called civilization is otter
worked up into savagery. The robber'

are of daily occurrence. It seems that
the bad keeps abreast of the good III

That Decision.

The legal outcome of the railroad
imbrog1io is natural, logical and ex-
pected. This paper has already de-
c1ared it's conviction that His Honor
the Mayor was simply within the linn
its of good sense and sound ethics
when refusing to approve bonds that
were not in accord with the expressed
conditions Of the ordinance, and GER
tain1y Judge Fish plants his opinion in
Justice when deciding that the COM
pany, to which the franchise was
given, has no right to build the rail-
way in the city Of Kenosha if it does
not furnish the required bond and the
bond is not approved by the Mayor.
The ordinance, therefore, granted by
the Council must be null and void.
Nor will it avail to appeal to the high
er court. The thing to do is to do the
work all oyer again and do it right.
The desire for street railway is near
1y unanimous among the people of this
city, and the time is not far in the flu
ture when that desire will be gratifed.
It is not too late even now to achieve
it's completion before the vernal
equinox of 1901.

KENOSHA SPORTS WIN.
After LongDelay Baird is Driven Win
ner at Fifteen to One at Hawthorne.

Every cold stock" sport in Kenosha
has bundles of the long green this
morning on account of the unexpected
victory of John Keating's horse
"Baird" at the Hawthorne track yes
terday. Baird was a fifteen to one
shot and the Kenosha racing men had
their all staked on the success of the
horse. The race was a pretty one and
the Kenosha horse won by head.
Early yesterday morning the Kenosha
sports decided that the horse was due
to win and not few of them backed
him at the heavy odds. The returns
are said to have been large enough to
cover all the previous losses On the colt
and give the boys good deal of money
for incidental expenses. The owner
of the horse, John Heating, was great
ly e1ated by the victory, and he feels
that now the hoodoo has been broken
the horse will make a great record be-
fore the end of the season. The Win
nings of the Kenosha men are placed
at various extravagant figures, but a
conservative estimate of the winnings
places them at about five thousand
dollars.

PUT TO THE TEST.

Kenosha People Appreciate Good Thing
Everybody has their hour of trouble.
But people having any itchiness of
the skin,
Have many hours of trouble.
Nothing so annoying. Nothing so
irritating.
Scratch it, it becomes worse.
Leave it alone and you can hardly
stand the misery.
Itchiness comes in many forms.
Eczema and horrid itching piles.
Relief and cure are here at last.
Kenosha has put it to the test.
Doan's Ointment cures every form of
itchiness of the skin.
People at home are learning that
this is so.
Here is convincing proof.
Mr.. Feeney, of 2O7 Baker street, Ra-
cine, says: 81 can recommend Doan's
Ointment as a most reliable remedy.
After applying it one or two nights it
drove away the itching .hemorrhoids
which had bothered me for a long
time. 1 used other preparations be
fore for this trouble, but never found
anything to equal Doan's Ointment.
1t is soothing and remarkably quick in
it's action, and to all who may be af-
f1icted as I was, I recommend it
highly"
Just such emphatic endorsement can
be had right here in Kenosha. Drop

ward. SO the collapse of governments
in the Transvaa1 and the Orange River
State will no doubt prove advantageous
both, to Boer and Aborigine. England
is ambitious no doubt. She watches
the interests of her empire, sometimes
she has been cruel, but Great Britain S
banner will secure justice for the black
man and barbarian, strong defence for
brave Boer and Burgher, peace to the
ti11er of the soil, and prosperity to the
country. Victoria has added to her
dominions a territory Of two hundred
thousand square miles and to her teen-
ing millions population of perhaps
million and half. This does not
count apes, balloons, crocod1les, hippo
potamuses, ostriches, ante1opes, zebras,
giraffes, elephants, rhinoceros, Loop
ards and lions. Now the woods will be
entered and the yellow wood, the iron
wood and the ebony, almost totally
ignored heretofore, will be utilized in
some manner. The grasslands, the
downs and hi11s1opes, which thus far
have been given over to sheep and
cattle, will be to some extent cultivated
for grapes, coffee, sugar, cotton, to-
bacco, wheat and barley, and the mines
of copper, coal, silver, gold and dia-
mond, will be worked as never before.
Education will not longer be so sadly
neglected, and religion, shaken of
superstition, will rise and be glorified
in South Africa, as it has not been able
to do since the Great Trek in 1887.
The people and their interests will per-
sist, though their governments, which
have been baptized in blood, may
perish.
