DISTURB SOLDIERS REST

MIDDLETOWN, y. Y. March 81
Thrown out Of their graves by ground
hogs the bones of many heroes Of the
Revolutionary war and the war of 1872
are often exposed to sight and plowed
under by farmers in the town of Wawa-
yanda. Orange county.
In this town there are twenty-five
burying places, many Of them dating
back years before the Revolutionary
war Only eight OF the graveydrds are
cared for. the rest being mainly the
homes of wOodchucks.
There have been no burials in these
cemeteries for over fifty years. App1r-
emily there is no one who cares what
becomes Of the bones of those who
fought for the independence of their
country.

WANT A NEW COUNTY.
Citizens of Arlington Have Begun az
important Movement.
From the Calhoun Courier.

From the Calhoun Courier.
On last Monday night there met at
the court house a number of citizens OF
Arlington and the surrounding com
munity to discuss plans looking toward
the securing OF new county for this
section, as it will be necessary to- get a
portion of Early, Calhoun and Baker
counties TO give US sufficient territory.
It was decided that committees pc
appointed to wait on those living IN
the sections likely to be taken by the
new county and find out their wishes
in the matter. There was also com
mittee appointed to draw map OF the
geographical situation of the proposed
new county, and to look up the law
that governs the making Of new coun-
ties. Messrs. j. r. Mills, A. G. San
ders, l. Zacharias, l.. l.. Lyon, j. b.
Toole, r. II. Bostwick and Sam Taylor
compose the first committee, and Judge
H. G. Sheffield, Il. M. Calhoun and l..

of three counties, and it is very lncon-

cravats, too, are younger looking, less
heavy in effect.
The old fashioned boa is another
pleasant revival. There is a certain
grace and becoming quality in a boa
which the fiat stole, especially in a stiff

With the return Of the boa to favor
will come some Of the Wiry haired furs
which were unsuitable for stoles.
The stoles, however, remain the most
imposing style in furs. An effective
set in marten is here sketched, on
which a fringe Of tails occurs below the

similar fringe finishes the ends. Tails

Voting Machine Companies Offer
to Supply Them to the
City for 5000 Each
PEOPLE TO TEST THEM FIRST
City Clerk Harrington Begins to Get
Propositions for the Setting up of
the Machines in the City Eight
Machines Will Be Needed.

City Clerk Harrington has received
two bids from companies engaged in
the manufacture of voting machines,
who are anxious to install machines in
this city. Strange as it may seem,
both bids demand the sum of 5000 for
each machine installed and both COM
panies are willing to give the city five
years in which to pay for the ma
chimes. Of course it is possible that
the two companies are members of
the Voting Machine Trust, but it is
claimed that the figures quoted to
Kenosha are lower than the figures
offered to cities of the same size in
other parts of the state. The bids are
from the United States Standard Vot-
ing Machine Company, of Rochester,
N. Y, and the American Voting Ma
chine Company, of Bloomington, Ill.
With these figures the total cost of
Installing the machines in all the
wards of the city would be less than
5000, and the city can take its time
to raise the amount The aldermen
had expected that the figures submit
ted would be much larger, and for
this reason it is possible that the
council may decide to have the ma
chimes installed in all parts Of the city
at once.
The manager of the Rochester
concern notified the city clerk Thurs
dry that he was unwilling to have the
city buy cat in the bag and chat he
would bring a sample of his machine
to Kenosha within the next few weeks
and set it up in order that the city
council and the people of the city
might be able to better judge of its
merits. This style of machine has
been installed in Racine and it is
claimed that it gives perfect satisfac-
ton. The machines of another type
are now in use in Milwaukee and they
are equally satisfactory.
In making the bids the companies
have stated that it would be possible
for them to install the few machines
needed in Kenosha in time for the
next city election, and this would
give the voters a chance to get fan1i1-
lar with the workings of the devices
before the next general election.
Both of these machines would re-
quire the services Of three men at
each polling place, and the saving to
the city would be the services of four
men at each place.
Some of the members of the council
do not believe that the saving to the
city will be verylarge, as they claim
that the interest on the money paid
for the machines will be almost as
much as the amount saved in reduc-
| ing the forces of men at the different
polling places.
