| Mr.. j. B. Kupfer has enlarged his
store, and is adding greatly to its appear
ance by papering and painting the in
terror. The ceilings and walls of the
dining room have been papered with
very handsome patterns of paper from
Hosea Barns store, and is now one of
the handsomest dining rooms in the
state. New shelving is being put in the
store, and the counters are also being
| handsomely painted and finished off
in oil. When completed, the store will
be one of the incest in the West.
| Diphtheria has made its appearance
in the town of Somers with the same
fatal effect which ever attends its APP
preach. A peculiarly sad case has
come to our notice. Charles F., son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John E. Meyers, was vic
tim to the dread disease. He is said by
all to have been fine, healthy and very
promising boy. He died on the 18th
inst, and the funeral took place at st.
Georges church in this city on the 18th,
and was very largely attended, an indi-
cation of sympathy felt for Mr.. Meyers
in his great affection.
Burglars entered the pawnshop of Ed
ward Rogan, Racine, on Wednesday
morning. and stole twenty-five gold and
silver watches and twenty finger rings.
The barn Of Calvin D. Sine lair was also
broken into and a large quantity of cloth
ing owned by John Miller, coachman,
stolen. An unsuccessful attempt was
made to rob the residence of Aid. Driver.
The burglar was seen and fired at by
Jas. Driver, but the shot did not take
effect. At the residence of j. r. Slau-
son burglars cut through window,
entered the pantry, and helped them
selves to the eatables.
Quite a ripple was made on the placid
waters of Kenosha on Saturday, Sun
day and Monday last It seems that
the steamboat Wisconsin, which was
caught in the ice during the winter in
northern waters had finally broken
loose and went adrift. In the attempt to
bring her through her Captain caused
her cargo, which consisted of -four, flax
seed and beer, to be thrown overheard.
This cargo being now released from its
icy grasp, began to float up the lake, and
was discovered by here and there a
deposit on the shore. There was a
quantity of flax seed, several barrels of
beer, and about seventy-five barrels of
flour. Of course there was a bonanza
struck by several parties who got knowl- |
edge of the floating treasure. Mr.. VIM.
Joerndt, however, put his saucy little
tug into the service, and went out and
picked up what he could, which he
holds at the service of the rightful
owners. The balance is of course be-
ing placed where those who captured it
think it will do the most good.
The entertainment at st. Georges
school hall on Tuesday evening, under
the auspices of the st. MichaePs Young
Mems Society, drew good house. The
characters in the drama, Der Vetter
vom Lande," were well taken by J. J. |
Mayer, ]. Zeitler, A. Kaufman, Casper
Niesen, Charles Werner, N. Kleist, |
Henry Wright, S. Wervie and Val. |
Kuhn. Their acting was very good, and
was well received. The song Barney,
take me home again." was exceedingly |
well sung by Mrs. B. La Marsh and |
chorus, and in reponse to hearty en-
core, she sang =" Kathleen, I'll take you |
home again" in splendid style, as also
the song ''When the tide comes ill.," |
which was loudly encored and responded |
to. Mrs. La Marsh is one of our most
pleasing singers. The farces, "The Nut |
ton Trial. and 1.-TWO Awfuls," kept the
house in roars of daughter. The charac-
tiers in the first were capitally rendered |
by V. Kuhn, S. Wervie, N. Kleist, and
r. Stemm, and in the second by nj.

Otto Hahn, who buried his fourth wife
here few weeks ago, and went to Chi
cago the week before last and married
widow, representing to her that he was
immensely wealthy, and ran away from |
her the day after he brought her home,
committed suicide on Thursday of last
week near st. Francis. In the afternoon
of that day he went to Andrew Rhende's
saloon, leaving there aboutsix o'clock to
look for lodgings. He went to the resi-
dence of John Starck, and by persistent |
persuasion induced the family to allow |
him to sleep on the lounge all night. |
In the morning he was found dead. |
The coroner was notified and the body |
taken to the morgue, where 2 cents in |
money, a pocket-book, an empty bottle |
and handkerchief were found in his
pockets, together with a letter, of which |
the following is translation "My |
name is Otto Hahn, of Kenosha; that |
which | have done is done through des-
peration because do not know what to
do. Tell my step-daughter, Ida Kelsch,
in Kenosha. She works at Kemper
Hall. Seven weeks ago my wife died.
This is all I have to say"
The spirit of improvement has taken
hold of our merchants, and while several
stores bear evidence of marked improve
ments, there is none more noticeable
than the complete transformation ofthat
of Messrs. Doan & Brown. On entering
person is struck by the increased light,
which has been obtained by lowering
the shelving and cutting down the win
dows on the north side of the building.
Good light is very necessary in dry
goods store to see the different shades of
color in goods, and now they have well.
lighted store. The walls and ceiling
have been decorated with beautiful pat
terms of paper, which add largely to the
tasty appearance of the interior. The
ceiling is marked off in three panels, the
colors blending in perfect harmony
New shelving of black walnut, grained
and finished in oil, has been put in the
