Snow Drifts.

The snow is piled up in huge drifts,
and most of the lanes are entirely
filled up and are quite impossible for
teams. 1t is quite a common thing
to see cutter or sled sticking fast in
the snow with the tongue broken.

An Old time Court Scene.

The correspondent of the Toronto
Globe who went up to Fort Garry a
couple of weeks since, gives the fol-
lowing description of the st. Cloud
Court Room at st. Cloud, where a
prisoner was being tried for murder
"To one accustomed to the ameni-
ties of the courts in England and Can
ada the effect produced upon him by
the aspect of the court at St. Cloud
was somewhat peculiar. On the bench
surrounded by quite library of law
books, sat man of about thirty-five.
This was Judge James A. Nickel
vey.-Ed.)
He wore his hair long, and a pretty
reasonable sized mustache, but had

would advise the Honorable Board of
County Commissioners to vote thanks
for the same and pay Mine Host
Reichert for one pint Of lager for the
special use and benefit of the present
population. While at the seat OF gov
eminent the county officers came
marching in, loaded down with re-
sponsibilities and county records.
They were very intelligent looking
set of county officers, but the counte-
nances of all looked just as though
they would sell out cheap, or appoint
a deputy. The room was perfectly
destitute of furniture, unless a broken
stove and good supply of mud on
the floor be considered furniture. Ne
cesslty compelled them to pile their
public property on the cleanest part
OF the floor. They had hardly com
pleted their admiration of the arch
itectural beauty and ingunity of the
builders when the cry of "fire" was
raised. Upon investigation a larger
hole than was necessary for an ..rdi-
nary stove pipe was burned through
the roof and was making rapid pro-
gress toward destroying the building
which was saved by the almost super
human efforts of the county officials.
The Honorable Board then concluded
to adjourn to safer and more conven-
lent quarters, at the hotel, where they
made most judicious decision, order
ing the officers to hold their offices at
their places of residence until safe
and other furniture was procured for
their respective offices.

his whiskers and beard closely shaver.
He was sharp looking little man but
there he sat chewing tobacco in the
most ravenous manner, and squirted
the juice around in a way that would
have shocked the sensibilities of our
prim lawyers who preserve the dignity
of the court so well in Toronto. The
prisoner sat chewing tobacco quite as
voraciously as the judge. The wit
nesses chewed and squirted and so
did the lawyers and nothing was more
ludicrous than to see the lawyer OF
the prosecution as he arose and
walked around, took out his paper and
offered chew to the miserable pris-
oner, who took it in quite fraternal
sort of way. Then the mode in which
the examination of prisoners was con-
Quoted was equally striking. The law
yers did not by any means believe in
firing themselves by standing on their
feet during the examination of wit
nesses, but seemed to believe in otlum
either cumdignitate or sine dignitate,
whichever was the most agreeable.
They got their feet upon the table
right under the nose of the Judge and
fired away their questions and their
squirts in the most animated style,
All through there was wonderful
skill shown in lodging shown both by
the witnesses and the lawyers; but
there was much that grated upon
ones mind altogether foreign to our
preconceived notions of what court
of Justice should be, and when added
to all is the fact that the floor OF the
hall was covered with about four in
ches of saw-dust, making it look like
a prodigious saloon, the effect OF the
whole may be imagined"

Furs.

he was busily engaged in packing
furs. On this trip he picked up 10000
muskrat, 500 mink and 500 red fox. 1t
is truly astonishing the amount of
furs that are shipped from this upper

The council will issue no more bonds.
for time at least, with the consent
a. approval of the people of the city.
All three of the bond questions sub
mitted to the people at the election on
Tuesday was defeated by big majorities
and it is evident froI1 the vote that
the tax payers believe that the city
has all the debt they care to carry at
present and that no more financial OBJ
legations should be assumed until after
some of the present outstanding bonds
are paid oil. The vote on all three of
the questions was large enough and the
majorities against the propositions big
enough to indicate ,learly the wishes
of the people in regard to the issues.
More voters registered their opinions
IN regard to the issues than commonly
take the trouble to vote when questions
are submitted at elections, more than
a majority of them voting on all three
questions, The vote was closer on the
bond issue for new fridge than on
the others, but there was a majority of
326 against that, two of the wards in
the section of the city that would have
been benefited most by the bridge 90
ing against it by good majorities. 1t is
generally admitted that all of the pro-
jects proposed in the bond issues would
be fine thing for the city and that
the city will have all of them eventual
ly, but the people decided that thew
could not afford them at this time.

The industrial commission has sent
out notice that it is at work on a
building code that it is expected will
be adopted by most of the cities of
the state. With the prospect of code
prepared by experts being ready with
In reasonable time, it is probable
that the effort to get the building code
prepared six years ago adopted by the
city will be abandoned and that all Of
lte interests who realize that Kenosha
should have regulation Of the buildings
erected within its limits will be con
tent to wait until the state law is
ready for adoption. A code prepared
by experts under the direct supervision
Of the state commission will be much
more readily accepted by the varied in
terests affected by it than one prepar.
ed by local men, no matter how com.
petent these same local men are
acknowledged to be in their several
lines. There will be little of the hid
den but none the less powerful opposi
ton to the state code that has pre-
vented the adoption of the code so
carefully prepared for the city some
six years ago and it is certain that
there never was a city more in need Of
a comprehensive code than Kenosha is
at the present time and has been for
some years.

SCHOOL BONDS ARE ROUTED
Bonds for Improvement of Main Street
Are the Only Ones Which Had Any
thing Like an Even Break in Voting
Sentiment of People Is Clear.

The people Of Kenosha put theil
foot down and put it down hard on
the issuance of more bonds against the
property Of the city ON Tuesday and
not one Of the three issues submitted
came anywhere near securing the en-
dorsement of the people. The plan &c
issue bonds in the sum of 100000 for
the new high school building seemed IL
be a special point of attack for the
voters and although hundreds of WON
Ell voted on the bond question the total
vote mustered for it was but 715 while
1901 voted against the proposed issue
The filtration bonds Jared almost as
badly in the opinion of the people, the
proposed issue losing by more than 400
votes while the issue for the Main
street bridge failed of approval by a
little over 300 votes
There was not q ward in the city
that voted favorably on the proposed
school issue it making the best show
ing in the second ward where it was
defeated by 35 votes. In the north
wards this issue was slaughtered in the
seventh and eighth wards, the vote be-
ing better than two to one against it.
The action of the people leaves the
school board very much in the air on
the proposition and it is probable that
a new start will have to be taken on
the matter of building the new high
school. While the council could issue
the school bonds and the other issues
as we'll without a favorable vote of
the people it is certain that there will
be no action taken against the senti-
ment of the people so clearly expressed.
The defeat Of the filtration issue
was in part due to the fact that many
people in the city believe that Keno
sha should have new water plant
rather than filtration system. The
filtration bonds did not find single
favorable ward.
The first, second and seventh wards
voted favorably on the bridge PROPOSE
tion.
The failure Of this issue to carry
will probably have considerable effect
on future elevation plans in the city
as the change in the Main street grade
was one of the big features of the ele-
walton plan. The loss of this feature
will not, however affect the elevation
on the tracks of the main line and if
tie people do not want the grades at
Main street separated the railway
companies and the city will be saved
a considerable expenditure.
A lot of interest has been shown in
the votes of the women on the high
school bond issue. Here are the
figures of the women votes in the vari-
Gus wards showing that a majority of
the women voted against the bond
issue:

preparations was passed by unanimous
vote of the council. There was no dis
cussion on the matter as the members
of the council held that any plan to

worthy of support.
The ordinance providing for the new
scale of wages for the police and fire
men was given its first reading and it
will take It's usual course. 1t is ex-
pected that the ordinance will come M
for final action at the next meeting
