POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Artlessness is at the head Of the
high-art class.
When a man lends his influence he
rarely gets it back.
Many man uses his religion as a
sort of lightning rod.
Any man who is unable to bear mis-
fortune is truly unfortunate.
Nothing is so uncertain as the minds
Of a certain class Of politicians.
If you would make fool of man,
applaud RATHER than praise him.
Nothing provokes a proud woman
like the pride Of some other woman.
When man boasts of his ancestors
probably he has nothing to look for
ward to.
A statesman amiably in the right
Is no match for politician pugna-
ciously in the wrong.
If bootjacks were bouquets the nine
lives of the musical midnight cat
would be StreWn with flowers.
Many a mans success in life is due
to the fact that he is foolish in his
talk but wise in his actions. Chicago

A PECULIAR SUIT.
Peter Bushman, of somers, Demands
$4,000 for a Ducking.

$4,000 for a Ducking.
Peter Bushman, Of the town of Som
ers, through his attorney, A. E. Buck
master, has filed suit in the Circuit
tent of two thousand dollars from Fred
| Donsing, also of the town of Somers.
The damages are demand for per-
sonal injuries which Bushman is al
legged to have sustained while in per-
sona1 combat with Donsing on the
afternoon of June 10Th. AT this time
Donsing is alleged to have thrown
Bushman into great tank of water,
and for the ducking and other injuries
received the two thousand dollars is
demanded.
The suit is the most peculiar per-
sona1 damage suit filed in the Circuit
Court of this county in many years.
Both Of the men are we'll known in the
County, Donsing being one Of the road
officials of the town of Somers, and
their fight was nine days wonder in
the town. Bushman had gone to the
home Of Donsing for some purpose in
connection with the roads, and the two
men had got to quarreling. The up
shot of it all was that Donsing gra bbed
the old man and deposited him in a
big tank of water.
In due time Donsing was arrested,
and the matter was adjusted in the
Justice Courts. This adjustment seems
to have not been sufficient to heal the
injuries of Bushman, and he now de-
mands damages in more substan+. al
form. According to the compl7' At in
the suit Bushman suffered severe in
juries Of mind and body by his unex-
pected ducking in the tank, and he
alleges that these injuries may be per-
manent, and for this reason he asks
that Donsing pay him literally for his
lfoo1ishness.
The suit is a peculiar one, and this is
probably the first time in the history
of the County that any man has been
asked to pay the large sum of two
thousand dollars for ducking one Of his
| fel1ow-men in tank of water. Ali
the papers in the case have been filed,
and the case will probably come up for
trial at the September term of the Cir
cult Court.

SOME of the jealous ones who were
left out when the German Emperor
and Prince Henry distributed their
gifts in acknowledgement of the cour-
tesies shown the Prince during his
American tour are calling the atten-
ton of those federal Office holders who
were fortunate enough to be remem.
bered to the clause in the constitution
which reads;
"No title of nobility shall be granted
by the United States. And no person
holding any Office Of profit or trust
under them shall, without the consent
of the Congress, accept of any pres
ent, emolument, Office or title of any
kind whatever from any king, prince
or foreign state"
1t is to be hoped that the disappoint.
ed ones will let the matter drop, for il
the question of the right of the federal
office holders to accept these gifts is
brought up in Congress great deal OF
valuable time will be lost in the dis,
cussion Of trivial matter.

On the fifteenth of this month q
unique special train will start from
Chicago on tour through the North
west. The train will carry party of
experts from the Agricultural Depart
ment, who will give demonstrations Of
good road building. The farmers and
others interested in good roads in the
different sections visited will be in
structed how they can best improve
the roads and how to obtain the best
results from the material available.
The Secretary of Agriculture, him
self a practical farmer, believes that
the cost of marketing farm products
can be greatly reduced by road i'm
provement. The question of road i'm
provement is one ia which the farmers
of Kenosha county are vitality inter-
ested, and if the schedule of the train
is not already made up some move
should be made to have the experts
give demonstrations of practical road
building at several places in the
county. While the roads in the county
are in fairly good shape, as compared
with those in other sections, at times
hey are almost impossible. Good
material for road building is easily OBJ
tainab1e in almost any part of the
county, and if the Path Masters of the
different towns could have the benefit
of scientific instruction a great i'm
provement could be made at compare
lively little expense.

THERE were 1880 men enrolled in
the Eighth Ohio Infantry during the
Spanish war. The regiment lost not
a single man il killed or wounded, yet
7o5 applications for pensions have
been filed by the men Of this regiment.
1t is highly improbable that the ma
jority of these applicants have any
just claims on the bounty of the gov
eminent, and while no American be-
grudges a pension to any man who
was iucapacitated in the service of the
nation, it certainly looks as if the men
of the Ohio regiment are trying to
make dishonest raid on the pension
fund.

ELSEWHERE in this paper may be
found an address to Republicans which
may be regarded as the first gun fred
in this campaign by Senator Spoon
er's friends to secure his return to the
United States Senate. 1t is signed by
men from every section of the State
and of every shade of political opin-
ion. Men who are as far apart on
State issues as it is possible for men to
be have united in this address. 1t is
signed by Half Breeds and Stalwarts
alike The leaders of both factions
urge upon the voters of the party the
duty the party owes to itself to return
its most distinguished representative
to the Senate. If the leaders of the
administrations campaign are wise, if
they have any of that political wis

ex.Gov. Hoard, the strongest man ia
the La Toilette ranks, was one of the
most noticeable characteristics of the
last State convention, they will at once
drop the senseless and underhanded
opposition to Senator Spooner and
give their aid and support to the move
ment to nominate legislative candi-
dates instructed to vote uncondition-
ally for his reelection. Such a course
would undoubtedly meet with the un-
qualified approval Of nine-tenths Of
the majority and win to the support Of
the ntire ticket all of the disaffected
elements Of the party.

The automobile is here to stay and
nothing can retard it's development as
vehicle of pleasure or utility. It is
true that there appears to exist IN
some parts of the country the same
unreasonable prejudice against the
autos as was shown against the bicy-
cles when they first began to come into
general use, but this will largely dis
appear when the authorities enforce
proper regulations limiting the rate OF
speed at which the automobiles are al
lowed to travel on the public high

A DISTINGUISHED BOX PARTY
To Ex-Chief of Police ConIin of New
York, at Opera House, Tonight.

The following society and summer
visitors will occupy the boxes at the
Opera house, tonight, to witness the
performance of Fra Diavolo.' The
box party is given in honor of Mrs.
William S. Butler of Boston, the Hon.
Peter Conlin, ex-chief of the police
of New York city, and their friends,
Mrs. Nellie Waite, Mrs. M. ]. Wierd,
DR.. and Mrs. H. H. Sisson, Mrs. C. H.
Hoblitzer, Miss Helen Johns and DR..
and Mrs. Wilzmiller, all of New York
city, and Mr.. Harold Leslie of Boston.
MIR. Leslie in the past has been dis
tinguished theatrical man, having of
late been connected with Madame Alb
bey's company, the Royal Italian Opera
Company, Nine. Melba, the Maurice
Grau Company, and many others, and
while on the stage was considered one
of our leading tenor singers. Ex-
Chief of Police Hon. Peter Conlin had
been in the police department of New
York city for 80 years, and is still
considered one of the best authorities
in secret service duty. and during his
reign of office as chief, he was feared
by all the law breakers, las it was I'M
der his direction that the great metro
politan city had unearthed some of her
most horrible crimes. Advancing well
into years, Mr.. Conlin handed in his
resignation, which was held under
consideration for over two years by
the police commission, of which body
our President Teddy" Roosevelt was
a member and a warm friend of the
chief. His resignation was finally ac-
cepted, but with great regret to the
commissioners, and he was retired on
half salary for life, and is now spend
ing his declining days visiting his
many friends, and constantly travelling.
Miss Maud Daniels. manager OF the
Wilbur Opera Company. esteems the
chief very highly. as it is to him that
she owes the recovery of her diamonds,
which were stolen from her room in
one of the leading hotels in New York
city. The chief personally conducted
the investigation. and after Is days
of hard work arrested the thief anc
recovered the diamonds in Denver,
Colorado. The value of the same be-
ing $4,000, Miss Daniels was very CRATE
full and has often tried to reward the
chief, but all in vain, and she would
meet with the same answer: cit was
simply my duty''). But the chief and
the above party, who are stopping at
Sir Charles hotel, Among the Pines.
of which Mrs. w. S. Butler is proprie-
tor. has consented to accept of Miss
Daniels courtesy, for which special
car has been arranged to run from
winthrop and return on Tuesday even
ing.
