Mr.. David Warren started, last Satur
day, for Texarkana, Ark, where he ex
poets to reside for the future. Mr.
Warren came to Kenosha in 1910, and
has been citizen of the county since
that time. He is mason by trade, but
several years ago met with very seri.
GUS accident, by which he was rendered
a cripple for the rest of life and incapa.
citated for active labor. The good wish
es of Mr.. Warren's friends will follow
him to his new home in the sunny
South.
The new depot is now in full use by
the officials, and everything appears to
be moving along smoothly. Quite a
crowd assembled in that neighborhood
on Sunday to see the transfer, but the
sight was not very much of an affair
after all. The 40 train Sunday after
noon was the first passenger train to
stop at the new depot. The S:35 train
going south Monday morning stopped
first at the old depot from force of habit,
and had to start up again, which was
considered a good joke on the engineer.
About two o'clock last Sunday morn.
ing the main building of the Kenosha
Brick and Tile Company's factory was
to be on fire. The fire orig
mated at the northeast corner of the
building, and the wind being from that
quarter, the entire building and contents
were soon destroyed. The fire is be-
lieved by the company to have been the
work of an incendiary. The company's
loss is estimated at about $1,000, $500
of which is covered by insurance. This
is very serious loss to the company,
and much to be regretted by the people.
Mr.. S. Y. Brande, by request, address
ed the Council, last Monday evening, on
the bearings of title to the land at the
northeast end of the island bridge. The
conclusion arrived at is, that the title is
in the United States; that the city has
the undoubted right of use from being
and having been the undisputed occu-
pant for over twenty wears, and cannot
be ousted by any power except the
Government, which has always had the
right to reclaim all the y ct land border
ing on the basin, bay and river of our
harbor, as shown by the original Govern
ment survey, which includes the TRAN
gular price Of ground under considera-
lion.
The I. O. G. T. of this city in regular
session on Tuesday evening, this week,
adopted the following resolution as ex-
the sense of that body:
Resohed, That we, in the name of
common decency, and for the sake of
he young manhood and womanhood of
this city, do hereby protest against such
shows as the one advertised to appear in
Kenosha this evening March 81, and
declare it an insult to all respectable
and disgrace to the COM
and, further, we earnestly and
petition the Mayor and
other city officials to protect the morals
and good name of our city by refusing
TO grant permits to all such perform
ances in the future.
Mr.. N. R. Allen, Jr., left here some
two weeks ago on an extended tour
South and West. His intended route
was from here to New Orleans, and from
there to Texas, where he has a sister re-
siding. He will 60 from Texas to the
City Of Mexico, where he will take in the
of that historic city, and where
he will have the advantages of the aid of
Gen. Bragg, the lately installed Minister
plenipotentiary of the United States to
that country. Mr.. Allen made the &C
quaintance of Gen. Bragg some time
ago, ard his position will afford Mr..
Allen privileges he would not otherwise
enjoy. His plan, as marked out, will
next take him to the Pacific coast, and
he will make a tour through California
and perhaps some adjoining states or
territories. He contemplated an alb
sence from home of about two months.
The Unitarian church was we'll filled
on Thursday evening of last week, not
withstanding the stormy condition of
the weather, to listen to Mr.. Richmond,
on the subject of Prohibition in Politics.
The speaker spoke in rather strong
terms against both Of the main political
parties, claiming that nothing can be ex-
pected from either of them; and that
prohibition in politics must rely on a
third party. or at least one not under
control of the leaders of the Republican
or Democratic parties. The latter has
come out plainly against prohibition,
while the former is maintaining a
studied and pronounced neutrality on
the subject, except about election times,
when the anti-prohibitionists Of the
party will see that their interests are
acknowledged by the nomination of
candidates whose interests and influence
are in opposition to prohibition. He
instanced the plainly exhibited apathy
on the part Of our state legislators at
their last bi-annual session upon this
subject. When bills were
carefully prepared and presented to
the august assembly, they would be
