w. J. Fleming's "Around the World
in 80 Days" played to losing house at
Kimbalps Opera House last Saturday night.
There were twenty -one people in the COM
pany and they gave an unusually good per-
Eformance for Kenosha. The audience was
better than the average, but not large
enough to pay the expenses of so large a
company
Mr. A. Lincoln Kirk gave very en-
joyable program of readings and imperson-
atoms at the Congregational church parlors
Tuesday evening While the audience was
not very large, it was very appreciative and
enthusiastic. Mr.. Kirk is good. His rem
dition of the account of Rubenstein's play
!. ing was simply side-splitting. His impersona-
tions are the best feature of his work and
in that line he is decidedly success.
Should Mr.. Kirk come to Kenosha again he
will be certain to have good audience.
Last Saturday evening the Kenosha
friends of the University School to the
number of nearly hundred gathered in
the rooms of that institution for an evening
of conversation and social enjoyment. Re-
freshments were served and very pleasant
evening enjoyed. The smooth floor of the
gymnasium afforded excellent facilities for
dancing and the rhythmic tones of the piano
furnished the impulse. Mrs. Swift, as
Matron Of the school, did the honors of the
house.

sive manner for the Times, and that he sub
sequently spent couple of weeks in Keno
sha studying the resources of the city.
Since that time he has visited the neigh
boring cities of Rockford, Beloit and James
Vile and bears tes timonials from the press
and leading business men of each of these
cities expressing confidence in him and tes-
tifying to his fidelity and special fitness for
this line of work.
"A rather smooth young fellow took in
several Kenosha merchants last Saturday.
He went into shoe store between
six and seven o'clock and picked out pair
of shoes, priced at 81. He decided to take
them and offered in payment check on
the First National Bank, signed q. G. Sim
mons & Co., per "R." for the sum of s11.75
He received 1915 in change and left the
shoes lying on the counter, saying that he
would be back in few minutes. He did
not return for the Shoes He went into
another shoe store and had his old
shoes repaired. The charge was fifteen
cents, which he omitted to pay. He select
ed several pairs of shoes and left them on
the counter with the remark that he would
90 down to the bank and get his money.
He did not return for the shoes or to pay
the Is cents He showed check signed
q. G.. Simmons & Co.. r." for $1375 at
clothier's and similar one for Sill .25 at a
dry goods store. Neither of the firms sus-
pected the genuineness Of the checks until
they tried to bank them Monday morning.
The forger was dressed up quite neatly and
looked as though he had just come out of a
Touring mill, as his clothes were we'll dust
