FIN, FEATHER AND FUR.

A new species Of mountain sheep has
been found in Alaska. 1t is known as
the saddle backed" or "piebald''
sheep. Its head, neck and breast are
of a snow white. The other portions
Of the body are brownish gray.
Fish, as a rule, increase in weight
and length every year up to their
death. There are several varieties of
fish that cannot swim. They are deep
sea dwellers and crawl about the
rocks, using their tails and fms as legs.
A bird never before seen at the Lon
don zoo is the open bill, and it owes it's
name to the fact that the two halves of
it's beak do not meet for some distance
from their bases. The open bill is tall,
with long legs, presumably for wading,
and halls from Africa.

Joseph BidWeII, a Former Kenosha
Boy, Is Appointed Grain inspector
OF Chicago by Gov. Yates.
RAPID RISE AS A POLITICIAN.
Left This City Poor Boy Twenty Years
Ago, Mr.. Bidweli Is Now a Leading
Politician in Chicago.

The friends of Joseph Bidwe1l,
former resident of Kenosha, are re-
joicing with him over the action of
Governor Yates, of Illinois, in appoint
ing him grain inspector for the city of
Chicago. The position is one of the
best in the gift of the Governor and
there is no doubt but that the
former Kenosha boy will be able to fill
it in way that will be credit to him
self and to the Governor who appoint
ed him.
Bidwe11 was a typical Kenosha
school boy thirty years ago and his
rise to fame has been one brought
about by hard work. 1t is true that he
has had powerful political friends to
assist him, but the merit of the man
always made it possible for him to fill
the positions to which he was appoint
ed or elected by the people. Bidwell is
at present one of the best known poll
ticians in Chicago and he is one of the
leaders in the Kenosha association in
the city.
When Bidwe11 left Kenosha he gave
little promise of making his mark in
the political world, but shortly after he
reached Chicago he moved into the
Ninth ward and with the assistance of
Edward sCu11erton, the Republican
leader of the ward, he soon had the
strongest political combination ever
known in the city. For years it was
either Cu11erton or Bidwe11 that was
elected to represent the ward in the
City Council. Bidwe11 was a Demo-
crat and Cu11erton was a Republican
and for this reason the success of the
two men was usually assured.
Some time ago "Joe," as he is ia
miliar1y known among the boys, got
tired of the routine life of an alderman
and aspired to better things. At this
time he began to give his attention to
grain inspection and he soon became
an expert. He will hold his present
position, Notwithstanding the opposi-
ton of Republican and Democratic
politicians, for the next four years.
His salary is $4,000 year.
