Orluin Of the Cocktail"

There has been much curiosity as
to the origin Of the name cocktail.
Al last some one has come forward
with an answer to this question which
may be pure invention or truth. but
at any rate sounds plausible. IL the
early days, when doctors used siren
uCus methods and medicines in the
cure of disease. there was a habit
among them OF treating certain dis
eases OF the throat with a pleasant
liquid which was applied by the tip
of a long feather plucked from a
cocks tail. In courEe of time this
remedy came to be used as gargle.
still retaining its old name. In the
courFa of its evolution the gargle
gained mot of the present ingredi-

City Council Dispenses With the
Services Of Temporary Engi-
neer and Moth Returns
NEW SEWERS ARE AcCE PIED
Curfew LAWS Given its First Reading
aud Ordered to Take the Usual
Course Hanson Street CoIn.-
missioners Report

The sensationof the meeting of the
city cofncn Monday evening was the
action OF the council iii dispensing
with the services off,. n. F1agg the
Ghicag go man who had been employed
as temporary city engineer for
three months. The aldermen alleged
that Mr.. F1agg was spending too
much Of his time in Chicago to pro-
perly look after the interests Of Ke-
nosha, and on this statement 1t was
decided to dispense with his Services.
The vote on the proposition was a
una nimous one. The matter caused
a lively discussion in whiehe Mr.
Flagg took part. He stated tor the
council that at the time of his election
to the position, he had accepted it
with the understanding that he was
permitted to return to his home In
Chicago every evening. City Engi-
neer Moth will be at the office after
this morning and will again take
charge of the work Of the depart
ment. In order to be perfectly fair
with Mr. F1agg the council ordered
that he be paid for the entire term
for which he was employed.
wers are Accepted
Next in Importance was the decision
of the council to accept about two
thirds of the sewers which have been
built during the past few months.
This action was not taken without
vigorous protest on the part of four
of the alderman who insisted that the
work was not all that the city could
desire. The committee had inspected
the sewers on Monday afternoon and
the report was favorable for the ac-
ceptance. Those opposing urged
that in many places the sewers. had
several inches of sand in them and
that it could not be flushed out. They
also insisted that the streets of the
city had been left in a fearful condi-
ton by the contractors and that the
city would be forced to expend large
sum of money to place them in first
class condition again. When the
final vote on the acceptance was
taken, Aldermen Hegeman, Goodman,
Scholey and Thoma voted against
accepting. This act of the council
will make it possible for the con
tractor to secure money on the work
ard he will be paid after the next tax
levy is made. ee

GET BOLD ROBBER
James Brown, q BurIy Negro, is

Put in Jail in Chicago
HAD DEPUTY SHERlFF'S COAT

James Brown, burly negro, who is
thought to have been connected with
d number Of daring robberies in Keno
ssha county now occupies a cell in the
county jail at Chicago. He was ar
rested Tuesday evening at village
near Quincy. Ill, and was at once hur-
sried to Chicago where he is being
held on the charge Of stealing watch
from a minister. In the meantime
the district attorney of this county
has been notified, and papers are
being prepared to secure the bringing
sofsBrown to Kenosha for trial.
There is splendid evidence to show
that Browns guilty of the burglary
Of the home of Andrew Hildebrande,
deputy sheriff, who resides on the
Uih1ein farm In the town Of Pleasant
Prairie. At the time he was captured
he wore the overcoat which had been
stolen from the Hildebrande home,
and ia his pocket was found the pawn
ticket which he had received attl1e
time the watch stolen from the Hide
brande home, was pawned.
Notwithstanding this damaging
evidence Brown declared that he was
innocent Of the crime charged against
him, and claimed that he had never
been in the state of Wisconsin. He
declined to discuss the overcoat, or

ODD FACTS ABOUT OLIVES.
Some of Them Which Grow Seasick on
the Voyage Here.

Some of Them Which Grow SeasiCk on
the Voyage Here.
A large percentage of the olives COM
ing to this country, the dealers say,
suffer with the human malady of sea-
sickness on their ocean voyage. AS in
the human being, the seaSickneSS of the
olive is the result Of the vessels roll
ing and pitching, which III some way
affects the strength Of the brine IN
which they are packed, and in conSe-
quence the olive turns dark and sick,
and must be cured quickly or it will
succumb to the attack.
A large importing house in this city
has two expert chemists or doctors
who examine all olives at the steamer
dock upon their arrival. The seaSlck
olives are at once taken from the brine,
carefully washed and deposited IN
strong clean brine, which in most cases
has the salutary effect desired. Some
olives revive and are then none the
worse; in fact, they are often improved
in quality. The importation of olives
reached 100000 gallons here last year.
The finest grown come to the United
States. In France they eat the cres-
cent olive, which is homegrown. About
10000 gallons of these come to this
country, but they are considered in
ferior to the Spanish. In England the
edible olive Is small, cheap and oily.
Most Of the fine Spanish Queen olives.
which grow within fifty-mile radius
Of Seville and nowhere else, come to
this country and constitute between 6O
and 20 per cent OF the entire importa-
ton. They are not popular in Spain.
as they are deemed too expensive, and
the Spanish people prefer to ship them
and obtain the money. The cOnStltu-
ton of the olive is very delicate, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
From the time the crop is gathered I'M
til it is finally packed In the bottle
there is not q moment which Is not
fraught with the intensest anxiety on
the part of all who handle the fruit
Some three years ago there was 10
per cent advance in the price of olives
owing to the shortage of the crop. The
price, however, has been maintained
and importers believe it will remain
high Olives are usually imported in
the bulk, as the duty on bottled olives
is 40 per cent ad valOrem, while in bar
rels there is specific duty of 10 cents
a gallon, which is much cheaper.

WITNESSED UNIQUE DUEL.
Three Bears and a Colony of Rattle
snakes Engaged in Fight.

Three Bears and a Colony of Rattle
snakes Engaged in Fight.
Frederick linn and Mortimer Gray,
while fishing for trout in Panther rum
saw Il unique duel between a mother
bear and two cubs and colony Of rat
tlesnakes, according to the Philadcl
phia Record.
There is prevalence belief that rat
tiers and bears often hibernate tOgeth-
er, but this occurrence shows that
there are times, at least, when there is
deadly enmity between the two. The
fishermen were attracted to the spot
by the squealing of the bear cubs, and
they left the stream in the hope that
they might be able to capture the
youngsters. But the sight they beheld
was sufficient to destroy all ambition
to capture bears in such place.
The place of battle was not more
than rod from the creek, on the ris-
ing slope and Oh the sunny side. A
series of shelving rocks ended in a
large surface rock almost as level as a
table and perhaps twenty feet in area.
Off the edge of this grew an oak tree
of good size, but hollow of trunk about
eighteen feet up.
One of the cub bears had sought
refuge up on the first limb of this tree,
while the second youngstcr was hang
ing to the trunk. not more than yard
below, like Il bat on limb-head
downward Both the cubs were Squeal-
ing for dear life. and the spectators
soon saw what the matter was, so far
as they were concerned. The hollow
oak was n bee tree and the bees by
the hundreds had SWarmcd upon and
about the young bears and were sting
ing their paws, noses and ears and ev-
cry other spot that the fur failed to
make impregnable.
The fishermen soon observed that
there was more doing than the Serio-
comic act Of the bee tree Near the
foot of the tree the mother bear was
doing Il dance for her life, and the
unmStakablc sounds Of the whirring
of snakes rattleS told the ira gic tale
the bears, in their path to the bee
