Small POx In County.

The Board of Health reports Jhe
small pox in county confined to places
reported in last issue of this paper,
and that every precaution has been
taken to prevent the spread of the
disease and none is expected. The
quarantine of one family at Onley and
of another at Accomac q. II. IS sui
in force but there is no one sick with
the disease at either place. AT Lo-
custville all of those sick with small
box are confined to one house and ali
of them are reported as having had 1t
in a mild form and as cOnvalescenU.
The school and stores there have been
closed ever since the disease was pro-
nounced small pox and these, with
other precautions have been TAKEN
which will prevent its spread, it Is
thought, in that village.
In a few days more the time of dan
ger will be passed, the physician tc
the Board of Health says, to all others
who have been exposed to the disease

ORIGINAL SIN.
DR.. James 1. Vance,
In The Christian Intelligencer.


The ffty-irst Psalm is a prodgals PRAYER The
prodigal is peoples king David had snned
srlevously He was guilty of foul loath-
some an offense as ever stains the record a hu-
man life. How could he get his consent to an act
OF such infamy? His explanation Behold
was shapen in iniquity and in sin did nv mother
conceive me- He affirms that he was born with
sinful nature. The tendency to sin, he inherited
from the mother who bore him. 1t came to him by
ordinary generation. He not born good but
bad, with love for sin rioting in his blood and
this inherited evil nature was the source of his
sins.
Is David's explanation correct or is he SANDER
ing his mother? Is there anything i'm this theory
of an Inherited sinful nature or is it the cowardlv
shifting of responsibility and the shameless de-
flaming of ones forebears? Was the kings sin
accidental or it the result of an ADEQUATE
cause?
There are no accidents. David sinned because
of what he was. There law in his members
commanding him to safe his lust. He Inherited it
himself and he handed it down to his children
notably to Absalom and Solomon In theology
Davids explanation is called Original Sin" in
science they prefer to speak it as "hereditv"
The Scriptures teach the doctrine of original
sin. not once or twice, but repeatedly not merely
in explicit statements, but in the entire related
scheme and system of the doctrines of saving
grace.
"As in Adam all die. -" "Tbev are all gono
aside, they all together become filthy: there is
none that doeth good not one" "The carnal
mind is enmty against Cod for is not subject to
the law of God, neither indeed can be-" when I
would do good evil is present with me-" ct see
another law in my members, warning against the
law of my mind, and bringing me into captivitv TO
the law of sin which is in my members"
1t is difficult to how Davd's explanation Of
the motive to sin can be set aside without in
validating the entire teaching of Sacred Scripture
Is the Bible correct i'm it's position? Was David
fool knave when ne uttered the text or was he a
profound philosopher? Is original sin a fact or
merely effort to shift responsibility?

THE HEALER.


The Healer! o, the gracious name
Unto the blessed Saviour given;
VINO IN divine compassion came
10 cure Ifes Ills and lead to heaven;
Whereer on earth His footsteps trod
Afflicted ones to Him were brought
And with the love and power of God
His miracles of healing wrought
The healer! AT His mighty word
Disease and sickness fled away;
The palsied one, to health restored
Took up the bed whereon he lay;
The demon, with great fear and dread
owned and obeyed his sovereign Lord;
AT His soft touch dire fever fled
The sick and ministered
The Healer! In His own good name
He brought for every ill a cure;
He took away sins grief and shame
And made the vile and unclean pure:
He babe all evil hence depart
With joy repentant spirits blessed
Sweet peace gave to the troubled heart
And to the weak and weary resl
The Healer! Unto all who came
Earth's richest blessings He did give:
Sight to the blind-strength to the lame
And made the faint and dying live;
He oped the grave of terrors dread.
AT His command the dead arose,
And in His captive train He led
The last and greatest of mans foes
The Healer! o, the blessed name
OF Him who knows our pain and grief
For He Himself hath felt the same.
And giveth sure relief
For every wound that sin has made
For every bruise the heart doth feel,
He brings the balm of Gilead
And tenderly doth soothe and heal

THE North-W Western railway COM
pauy has formally agreed to pay its
share of the cost of paving West Main
street in return for certain favors to
be granted by the city and it is now
up to the aldermen to decide whether
or no the city shall accept the propo-
sition. The city has been accustomed
to giving the railway just about what
it wanted for so long that it is rather
startling to think of the company
making any returns for concessions
but we will soon get used to the feel
ing and it looks as if Mayor German
had made mighty good bargain for
the city. We look to see the council
agree to the terms proposed in a
hurry before the railway officials nave
a chance to change their minds.

PLAN HORSE MARKET
Walter S. Dexter to Arrange for a
Series of Horse Sales in
Kenosha 0urin the Year
OF INTEREST TO HORSEMEN

Kenosha horsemen are taking a
great deal of interest in plans made
by Walter S. Dexter of Pleasant
Prairie to revive the old, plan of MAX
ing Kenosha horse market, and be-
ginning with March 10, Mr.. Dexter
Will sinaugurate a number of horse
sales in Kenosha. These will be
auction sales of good sound animals
suited for all sorts of work. For some
time Kenosha has been having horse
sales and while the animals offered
were of very inferior sort, the sales
have attracted large crowds to the
city and thes prices secured for the
horses havesbeen above the average.
Mr.. Dexter plans to have the
animals which are to be placed on
sale in Kenosha the best that money
can secure. He will bring to the city
about the first .ofg March a hundred
head of horses and his agents are now
at work selecting the animals from
the big yards in Chicago. Every
animal to be offered for sale ia Keno
sha will be sound and broke to har-
ness. The first batch will contain
lot of heavy draft horses weighing up
to sixteen hundred pounds. There
will also be a number of light driving
horses.
If the first sale proves successive
sales will be held at regular intervals
during the year. In past years horse
sales in Kenosha were of great
interest and large crowds always came
to the city on the days set for the
sales. There are many head of horses
from Kenosha county sold at the
combination sales in Chicago each
year, and should the sales in Kenosha
prove to be successful it is possible
that these animals will be brought to
Kenosha and offered for sale here
This would attract many famous
horsemen to the city for every sale.

If the bood1ers and gangsters cap
ture this city at the coming election
it will be because you voters and tax
payers are too lazy or Indifferent to
protect yourselves. 1t is up to you.
There is work to be done that only the
voters can do and every man in this
city, no matter what party he belongs
to, who has a vote, will have to go to
the primaries and do his best to see
that good men are nominated. This
is no time to assume an attitude Of
easy indifference. There is work go
ing on today right under your noses
that BODIES no good to our city and
you voters are the ones who will have
to checkmate one or two little schemes
that are now being Matched out or our
city will get q set back that it will
not recover from in years. Wake up.
Do not let Kenosha get a black eye
by publishing to the world that we
are at the mercy of the Doodle gang,
just because you are too lazy to get
out and vote.

STATE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Brief Items of Interest From Various
Parts of the State

Brief Items of Interest From Various
Parts of the State
The Hotel Walworth at White
water has been purchased by. w. H.
McCutcheon.
A foreclosure Judgment has been
entered in the Racine circuit court
against the Brown-Corliss Engine
company of Corliss for $40, 900 in favor
of Nellie A. Goodrich, of Milwaukee.
For the first time in the history of
Racine woman was on Tuesday tried
on the charge of selling liquor to min
ors, the accused being Mrs. George
Mccarthy. She was convicted of sell
ing to Rudat and another girl and was
fined $50 and costs.
If the inheritance tax law is finally
declared unconstitutional there will
be two estates in Marinette county
that will have to be refunded the tax
they have paid. The estates of Geo.
I. Cook and William Diamond each
paid about $500 tax some time ago to
comply with the law. The tax on the
Merryman estate has not been paid
pending the result of the supreme
court decision.

matter Of the purchase of machines
was referred to 4 special committee
and report will be rendered at the
next meeting of the council There
is decided sentiment in favor Of the
machines going in and it is proba bic
that all Kenosha will vote by lever at
the coming city election.
Other Council Work
Charles Bancroft, who is now mer-
chant police in charge Of the route in
the western part of the city, was
named as special police without pay.
The regular report of the city treas
urer showed balance in bank of
81, 112. This does not include any col
lection of the recent tax levy.
The council decided by a unanimous
vote that there should be no registra.
ton of voters for the coming city
election. This will mean a saving of
about $500 to the taxpayers of the city.
The services of the special officer
who has acted as dog catcher were
dispensed with.
City Clerk Harrington was allowed
a hundred dollars extra for his work
during the year just passed, and/it is
probable that an early meeting Of the
council an ordinance increasing the
pay OF the city clerk will be passed

THE old Spanish swindle. which has

THE old Spanish swind1e, which has
been worked in this country for so
many years, and which has more than
once been the subject of diplomatic
correspondence between the United
States and the Spanish government,
is being tried again in widely sepa-
rated states. 1t seems almost incred-
ible that any one could be caught in
this swind1e after all the publicity
that has been given to it in the news
papers, but the victims are already
beginning to be heard from, and they
are as numerous as ever. It has been
tried here, but without results, and it
is about the only first class swindle
that failed to catch somebody in Ke-
nosha. Of course it is not too late
yet, but if any one bites on the game
now after all the warnings sent out
against it, they deserve to lose their
money.

If there is one class that should be
interested more than another in good
roads, it is the farmers. They are
the producers and everything they
raise must go to market over good
roads or bad, in big loads or small
ones, at heavy expense or at compare
lively small cost. Moreover, the cost
of getting his product to market is
borne by the producer. Every extra
dollar he spends in labor or time in
getting over bad roads, is just SO
much off Of his profits, and yet the
farmers, as a class, are the hardest
people in the world to get interested
In the subject of good roads. Some
of the more progressive farmers try to
form road improvement associations,
but they get mighty little encourage
ment from their fellows. Look at Ke-
nosha county. We are fairly pro-
gressive, but there is no good roads
association in the county to system
atical1y go at the task of putting our
highways on par with those of the
eastern states. We have been putting
good money into road building and
repairs (mostly repairs for years and
years, and what have we got to show
for it now in the way of first class
roads. Mighty little. You might say
almost nothing. Go anywhere in the
county and where can you find one A
No. road? The report of the county
clerk shows that over $4,000 is to be
raised in the county for the improve
ment of the highways this year. How
much of that $4,000 will be visible
ten years from now? Not ten cents.
A Kenosha man with a turn for
mathematics has figured out that since
this county was set off from Racine,
enough money has been spent on
roads and repairs to pave with vitri-
fed brick a roadway fifty feet wide,
with all necessary bridges, culverts
and drainage, running from the lake
to the western limits of the county,
intersected every three miles with a
cross roadway of the same kind to the
north and south boundaries. Of course
no one wants any vitriged brick paved
highways in the county, if we could
have them, but we would like to see
some first class highways laid down
on scientific principles by competent
engineers and built to last. Other
sections of the country are taking up
road Improvement in earnest, and if
Kenosha is to keep abreast of the pro-
cession something will have to be
done here. We certainly spend a pile
of money on our roads and have
mighty little to show for it, ard it is
time to make change somewhere.
Think it over.

AS matter of self Protection it
will pay the taxpayers of Kenosha to
look after the make up Of the council
and the school board. Kenosha
spends nearly $500 day in one way
and another now and that is good
deal of money. The council and
board of education should be com
posed of men who would make it
their business to see that the city
gets the benefit of every dollar ex-
pended.

EVENTS have so shaped themselves
as to give Zeno M. Host an oppor-
tunity to render great service to the
people of Wisconsin as Insurance
Commissioner, and the men who are
trying to get him to give up his legiti-

waukee are no true friends of his. Be
it said to the credit of Host that he
has turned a deaf ear to all their
pleadings, and that it is his intention
to serve out his term.
