There have been rumors in the air
lately of new buildings and additions to the
Lane Mfg. Co.'s works, but nothing def
mite had been decided upon until within
couple of days. The additions to be made
to this factory will almost treble it's floor
room and facilities for work. At present
there is one frame building 3Ox16O feet two
stories high. This building will be ex-
tended south by solid brick building 3Ox
200 feet, two stories high That will make
the main building $50 feet long. Near the
center of this building and on the west side
will be a wing, solid brick, 30x6O feet, 2
stories. On the east side wing 2Ox45
will be built, in which the office will be To-
Gated. Off from the west side of the new
building will be built boiler room 42x77
feet, with stack Is feet high. This will
give the company room for the increased
machinery needed in its business. There
is nothing like "getting there" and that is
what the Lane Manufacturing Co. evident
ly is doing. Kenosha congratulates this
company and its energetic manager upon
their success and enterprise and in turn is to
be congratulated upon the marked prosper
ity Of the new institutions within her bor-
ders
Last Thursday morning stranger,
seeing the throngs at the depot in the NOR
ming, might have thought another hegira
was in progress. But it was only a tenn
porary exodus. Nearly three hundred
people, children and adults, members of the
Congregational Sunday school and society,
with few friends from other churches un-
der the charge of Mr.. R. E. Mailer, board
ed the coaches attached to the morning
train on the K. D., bound for day of fun
at Twin Lakes. About nine o'clock the
train pulled out, and after very comfort
able run of an hour and half, landed the
picnicers on the banks of the easterly of
the two lakes. 1t was perfect day, wind
and sun being just right for the enjoyment
of day under the trees. Mr.. Mailer
guided the crowd to the bluff on the north
side of the lake, where preparations for
dinner were soon in progress. All the
available places under the trees and along
the lake were soon occupied by parties
either large or small, engaged in slowing
away fruit and cake, sandwiches and cold
chicken and enjoying themselves to the
limit. After dinner, croquet quoits, fish
ing, boating and little quiet flirting occu-
pied the attention of those SO disposed,
while others walked around enjoying the
views and watching the antics of the
youngsters. Quite party took boats and
went over to Capt. Ackerman's hotel
They met Mr.. O. M. Petit and his mother,
Mrs. C. D. Petit, who with Mrs. O. NJ.
Petit and Mrs. John Robinson were on
their way to Lake Geneva. Mr.. Slocom
of Milwaukee, was with the picnice1s and
took several pictures. Capt. Alderman
would do good deed if he would fire the
insolent duffer who ostensibly engineers his
steamboat. One of the chief sights of the
day was the monumental gall of the afore-
said duffer as he scattered the black show
er from the boiler over boat-load OF
pleasure seekers lying alongside the land
ing. The children enjoyed themselves
running around on exploring expeditions,
and the older ones watched the games and
chatted away the afternoon. The plain
purpose Of the picnic was enjoyment, and it
was success AS the time for leaving
approached the different groups gathered
up their impedimenta and fell into line for
the depot. After a ride of two hours and a
half through the highly picturesque seen
cry to be seen from the car windows as
they whirled along over the rock ballasted,
steel rallied K. D., stopping every quarter
of mile or thereabout to see if the axles
were not getting hot, with the dizzy speed,
they landed at the depot as the shadows
were gathering, shutting out the landscape
and obscuring the evidences of the picnic
The Congregational Sunday school and So
ciety certainly enjoyed day of rare pleas
ure.
If you have any gas fixtures that need
re-bronzing, call on Burr Bros, Park street,
at Craney & Pierce's old stand.
Mrs. n. A. Root has by request de-
cided to give hot or tepid baths at her
home and is prepared to make appoint
ments with any one wishing to try the vir-
tue of these pure, soft and sparkling waters.
