John Dillon, who has many admirers
in nearly every city in the northwest,
played before a large audience at Kimballs
Opera House last Monday night. A num-
Der of years ago he presented himself here
in a roaring farce, entitled, "The District
Attorney" Since then judicial honors
have been heaped upon him and Monday
he again appeared before Kenosha audi
ence in blue swallow tail coat resplendent
with bean buttons and moderate sized
Thurman bandanna dangling from the
aforesaid swallow tail. This time he stood
before his audience in new play written
especially for him and entitled, "The Cir
cult Judge" and by his peculiar and orig
inal acting elected roars of laughter In
the crowd were a few grave faces seldom
wreathed with smiles His command over
the humorous side of human nature is
unique and irresistible, and when he
palmed himself off on the citizens of Keno
sha as the father of a rag baby, tall pho
tographer in the rear end of the house fell
Oft from his seat in a fit, while lovely
maiden mopped the perspiration from her
blushing brow and one OF the gallery gods
opened his mouth SO wide that his head
looked like q small island in the Mississippi
river. The citizens of Kenosha appreciate
true genius nd Dillon is one of the few
gifted actors who always carries with him
the true sunlight Of humor
The citizens Of Kenosha residing in the
neighborhood Of the Gas Works have been
complaining for some weeks past about the
horrible odors and gases that have filled
the air in that part oil the city. The stencil
of the odor was disagreeable enough, but
the gases had worse effect than causing
annoyance. Quite number Of people in
that district have been i'll from various dis
eases and the cause Of the most Of them is
laid at the door Of the Gas Company. It
became impossible to keep the houses free
from the gases; milk, butter and meat were
tainted by them and many persons have
been prostiated by the evils resulting there
from in one form or another The nuisance
became so terrible and the results so serious
that d meeting was called of the residents
on Grand Avenue and thereabouts to con-
slider what steps should be taken to abate
suit against the Gas Company to abate the
nuisance and for damages. The health of
every one living in that neighborhood is
placed in jeopardy and life itself is endan-
gered. 1t is stated that the nuisance could
be avoided by the use of the proper machin
cry, and if it is true, the manufact of
gas should be stopped until the machinery
is put in. That citizens meeting appointed
q committee to secure legal talent and pro-
coed with the case Quarles, Spence &
Dyer have been engaged to try the case for
the citizens and another meeting will be
held this evening to hear the report of the
committee and decide upon what further
steps shall lie taken. They are determined
that the danger which threatens their
homes shall be removed and they will sue
coed before they give up the fight.
