a freight car between here and Waukegan.
Why in the world did he not jump in the
lake and avoid all such hazardous perfor
nance.
Miss Annie Gibbon has every reason
to believe that surprise parties are in order,
as 50 Of her friends called on her without
giving any previous notice. They were
handsomely entertained by the genial hos
tess and amused themselves in games of pro-
gressive euchre and dancing. Mr.. William
Dickhaut furnished the music.

lived in the ''new south" and has also tray
eled through the southern states during the
days of slavery. He has acquired rare
fund of information relative thereto and

MIR. F. E. Scotford, who has been en-
gagged in experimenting the building of the
factories for the Scotford Brass Co., and the
Lane Mfg. Co., has completed his work and
started out on the road in the interests of
the Scotford Co. The buildings are all
ready for the machinery and the work of
placing it in position will begin within sixty
days. The Messrs. Scotford will move here
soon and they will erect several very ele-
giant and creditable dwellings, These will
be for the firm and its superintendent, and
many others will be necessary for the ac-
commodation of their men. Brassville will
probably be repeated in Scotfordville. The
prospects are excellent for growth the
coming summer which will far surpass that
of any previous period in the history of
Kenosha.
Last Sunday evening about 7:15 o'clock
Charles Smith, tramp, applied to Sheriff
Harmon for a nights lodging at the Jail. AS
the Sheriff is not permitted to take in
tramps unless properly committed by an Of
ffcer Of the law, he was denied admittance.
The tramp then went to the vacant store on
Main street, owned by Alex. Huck and
broke out a pane of glass in one of the
front windows. He then went to Mrs,
Alfred eros 'enors restaurant, where he
kicked over some sewing machine crates
and threw an oyster sign that was standing
on the sidewalk into the street. He then
went to the engine house on Market Square
and sounded the fire alarm The watch
man at Bain's Wagon Works turned the
steam whistle loose and many of the good
citizens of Kenosha who were at church
rushed out to see the blaze-but there
wasn't any to see. All the fuss and racket
was caused by ragged and irresponsible
tramp who wanted a nights lodging and
had taken this novel method to accomplish
his object. He was sent to Jail by Justice
Slater for forty days.
The Northwestern Wire Mattress Co.,
is doing some quiet work which means con-
siderable. The company has purchased
some of the most valuable patents of the
c. I. Segar Manufacturing Co., of Utica.
N. Y, including cot which is the best in
the market, and proposes to enlarge its bust
ness considerably. The capacity of the
factory will be increased from 900 mattress
es day to 1900 day and 1000 cots day
This addition to the company's patents
gives them control Of nearly all the most
valuable patents in that business. Mr.. c..
I. Segar himself has moved to Kenosha and
will travel in the interest of the North
western Mattress Co. The prospects are
that 100000 mattresses and cots a
year will be shipped from Kenosha here
after. The prosperity of Kenosha's manu-
featuring establishments is the most vital
material interest we have. No one in this
city can help being interested
in the evidences of success
