be brought before the Masonic Lodge at its
next regular communication, Monday eve
ming Sept. 23rj. There should be full
attendance.
The conference year of the NJ E.
church closes next week, and Rev. Mr..
Hartley will go to conference next We'd
nesday. 1t is to be hoped he will be con.
tinued in his work here. He has done
good work and the church has prospered
under his care.
A. Lincoln Kirk, Impersonator, Humor-
list and Reader, will give an entertainment
in the Congregational church parlors next
Tuesday evening. This will be under the
auspices of the Lecture Committee of the
Ladies Auxiliary of the Young Mems
Christian Association and for the purpose
of securing reference books for the library.
There will be a musical program ALSO Be
sure and hear him.
There is some talk of organizing a
Choral Society here this winter under the
charge of Prof. Mcdowell Some such
society ought to be organized here, and Mr..
Mcdowell is the right man to conduct it,
A chorus that would begin the study of
some standard Oratorio, say "The Crea-
ton" or "The Messiah" and would con-
quer it would do much toward raising
the musical taste in Kenosha and educat-
ing those to 3 taste for good music who
now do not care for music at ALL A city
of this size ought to contain more good
musicians than it does. To be known as a
musical or literary town is credit and
| such work as a good choral society would do
would help the credit of this town consid-
cradle By all means let the work go
ahead. A chorus of fifty voices might be
found, one would think in city of this
SIZE
Mr. J. B. Jackson, of Pleasant Prairie,
has made for himself an enviable record as
Secretary of the Wisconsin Industrial As
ISOLATION. The Racine papers speak of
him in the highest terms. The Fair this
year had several adverse circumstances to
contend with and in spite of them all it
came out about even. 1t rained on the day
set apart for Kenosha County and the Mil
waukee Encampment drained the town part
OF the time, and yet the figures show that
the Association came out nearly even. All
premiums will be paid and all bills settled
promptly. 1t is estimated that the rain on
Wednesday of the Fair cost the Association
fully $500 and other things nearly as much
more. Mr.. Jackson is certainly entitled to
great credit for the energy and efficiency of
his labors in behalf of the Fair. Those in
terested in the Fair in Racine made Mr..
Jackson present of set of Encyclopedias
and an elegant easel in token of their ap-
probation of his efforts, and the Racine
| Journal saws that Mr.. Jackson is the man
for the place and must be retained in his
present position for several years to come.
Died, Friday, Sept. 18th, at $50 p M,
at his home in this city, Mr.. Herman F.
Millager, aged IS years. Mr.. Villagers
death was caused by bleeding of the gums
About six weeks ago he had tooth ex-
tracted. He began bleeding in the gums
then and continued to bleed slightly for FIVE
weeks, but did not consider the matter Sc
rious at all and beyond going to the dentist
and having some slight treatment for his
teeth, he did nothing special, expecting the
sore to heal as torn gums do usually. But
the bleeding continued and Saturday, Sept.
9Th, he went to a physician, who examined
the gum, but did not consider it serious.
He prescribed, however, and let it 60 on
Sunday morning he was out riding and the
flow of blood increased so rapidly that he
stopped at a physicians and was treated
again. He was out again Sunday afternoon
and the flow increased again and his hands
became so numb he could not drive. He
arose Monday morning as usual and went
about his business and was around until
noon. He went to Waukegan on the noon
train and put himself under the care of
dental specialist, who put bandages on his
gums and used all his art to stop it, He
did not come home until the eleven o'clock
train, when he seemed so much worse that
Mrs. Millager telephoned for the doctor
again. Mr.. Millager could not speak from
the bandages in his mouth, but communi-
Gated his desires by writing. The doctor
worked over him nearly all the night and
seemed to help him. He remained in that
condition until Thursday, wher he seemed
to recover almost completely. His pulse
was regular and he sat up and seemed to
feel quite we'll But Friday morning he
grew worse very rapidly until about eleven
o'clock he became unconscious and remained
so until about $50 p. M, when he died

the German M. E. church preaching the
funeral sermon. The Modern Woodmen
