to learn that Mr.. Brocket, although not in
i his usual good health, is quite comfortable
Rev. Frank I. Lee, from whom Kenosha
people are always pleased to hear, has been
engaged supply for one year of DR.. Leav-
tits church, Lincoln Park, Chicago. This
is an important church, having a member
ship of 500 and Sunday school numbering
over 800. The average Sunday congrega-
tions are usually from 700 to 800. 1t is not
many years ago when Rev. F. T. Lee was
.nown as a school boy in this city.
Miss Shoemaker, who has been visiting
Miss Linder at her home on the north side,
the past few weeks, suffered a severe injury
last Sunday morning. The carriage, a kind
Of Ems lish road wagon, drove up in front of
the post office and Miss Shoemaker jumped
out. In jumping, her right foot caught in
the reins. She landed fairly enough on her
left foot, but found that the wrench given
the right one by the reins had broken it
just above the ankle. She was assisted into
the Corner Drug Store, the limb was set by
DR. Cleary, and she is now doing very we'll.
Mr.. John Binnemann is a man Of fifty
years or older, and ever since his twentieth
year he has carried fatty tumor on the
anterior side of his left shoulder OF late
this tumor has been increasing rapidly and
caused him vast trouble and annoyance. 1t
grew to be as large as a child's head and
caused him much pain. Last Monday Dr.
Cleary, assisted by DIR. Meers, undertook
the delicate task of removing the tumor.
The operation was successfully performed
and the tumor rests in large glass jar in
| Dr. Cleary's possession. 1t weighed 81
pounds and Just about filled half gallon
jar
"A rather interesting group of men
gathered together yesterday morning, just
by accident, in front of Lyman's shoe store.
Mr.. r. B. Winsor, now of Lyons, Iowa,
but formerly an old settler and merchant
in Kenosha, was standing on the pavement
chatting and gathered around him were nine
men, each one of whom with possibly one
exception had been in Kenosha thirty-fve
years or over The gentlemen referred to
are Col. Frank, Levi Grant Simeon King.

The M. E. church was very comforta-
bly, filled with an audience which listened
for two hours and half to Frank w Smith
while he depicted the joys and sorrows
of soldier life, in and out of Andersonville
prison. Mr.. Smith has wonderful power
in word painting, and as he described the
various scenes on the march, in the charge
up Rocky Face and in the prison pen those
scenes became wonderfully real to that au
didnce and larger, clearer conception was
gained of the courage and 6ufferings of the
soldier boys. From scenes of sadness and
tears he led his hearers around a sharp
corner and convulsed them with his de-
scriptions of the ludicrous things in soldier
life. Mr. Smith is a success as a lecturer
and the number of his friends in Kenosha
has been largely increased by his recent
visit and meetings with the Young Meu's
Christian Association. He goes from here
to Coldwater, Mich, where he next holds a
series of meetings.
Last Sunday evening at the M. +.
Church Mr.. Frank Smith talked to a large
and interested audience for an hour and
five minutes upon the evils of the drink
habit. Mr.. Smith is about forty-fve years
of age, of nervous sanguine temperament
and with the bump of human nature large
ly developed. He is humorist, intersper-
ses many of his eloquent remarks with
anecdotes and incidents of the war The
Y. NJ. G. A., have made no mistake in en-
| ploying Mr.. Smith to do all he can to save
the bows from the hydra headed vices and
kallurements of the age. No manly boy
can listen to Mr.. Smith for an hour with
out being convinced of the sincere motives
and Christian spirit, of the speaker.
There is one thing particularly noticeable
in Mr.. Smiths lectures and that is his love
of Country. He was confined in the horri-
bic prison pen at Andersonville and this
no doubt is one reason why his lectures are
are permeated with the most intense patriot
ism aud when speaking of the services of
'the boys in blue, and in his highest
moods, his discourse glitters and sparkles
like cluster of sabers in cavalry charge
He has the faculty Of reaching out and
touching the heartstrings of large class
| of boys, over which the church and Sunday
School have very little control, in other
words he sets the boys to thinking and any
man who guides boy into the night path
is benefactor of the human race.
A few days ago two young men drove to
Kenosha with load for some one in that
city. About dark they started for home,
