Dennis Mcintyre, aged sixteen years,
formerly Of this city, but lately of Chi
cago. while attending the Fair at Bur-
lington was accidentally shot ia the
groin by rifle used to shoot at q tar

On Friday night, about nine o'clock,
the freight house at the Chicago &
Northwestern depot was discovered to
be on fire. 1t was discovered 80 soon
that . few pals of water extinguished
the fire, otherwise it would have been
wholly destroyed. The appearance of
the surroundings indicate that the fire
was the work of an incendiary.
The Ladies' Park Association have
procured the services Of a landscape
gardener, of Milwaukee, to plan quite
extensive improvements in the Park.
Gravelled walks within the Park, q
walk around the outside. with curbing,
and pond with seemingly natural
bridge over 1t, are among the improve
ments contemplated. The contract
will be let as sooH as the designs are
completed.
On Thursday last the Firemen of

mined upon, win be announced. The
performance on Thursday was purely
voluntary on the part of the boys.

ger made another attempt to commit
suicide In the Jail. 1t seems that r.
IL. Spencer, who is confined In jail,
borrowed q razor of the Sheriff's wife
with which to shave himself. When

Ger under pretense of wanting to shave
himself. AS soon as he got the razor
in his hands Shanzer drew 1t across
his throat, infiicting slight wound,
and while In the act of trying a Sec
Ond time, Spencer wrested the weapon
from his hands. The old man seems
to mean business and will accomplish
his object unless closely watched.
On Wednesday evening the T. Of Fl.
Dramatic Club reproduced Enlisted
for the War" to a good house. TAX
Ing advantage of their experience In
this play, the Club on this occasion
avoided some of the errors committed
before, and elaborated portions which
increased the effect of the whole very
much to their credit. The manner In
which Miss Wharton took her part Is
worthy Of special mention as being ex-
ceedingly we'll done. Mr.. Joseph 0s-
borne assumed the difficult role in
which Ae was cast in a manner alike
credltable to himself and pleasing TO
the audience. Mr.. Jackson also sus.
tanned himself remarkably well. Misses
kcDeFmot and Lamey assumed their
respective roles with their usual good
taste and ability, and Messrs. Dunning
Harmon, LOOMS and Burns lost none
of their well-oarned reputation on this
occasion. The music by Mr.. Simonsen
was fine and will do much to recon.
mend him to the Kenosha people. The
whole affair was success In every
way, and the Club deserves much cred.
it for their efforts in this direction
Last evening the Club played "Tht
Turn of the Tide or Wrecked in Pert,
to good house. The piece was of 9
side-splitting character, and was pro
duced in a splendid way.
