last week. Mrs. G. H. Hurd was the
charming hostess. She was elegantly at
tired in black satin with jet trimmings.
The house was profusely decorated with
flowers and scarlet Wood-bne, which

tapers. The dining room was poem in

BEL0IT, Sept. 20.-Beloit citizens have |
raised S40 600 stock to secure the removal |
Of the Union Brass works, of Chicago to |
this city This adds another fine industry |
to the already large number Of factories |
established in this city. The deal was
closed tonight The building will be
commenced next NiltcauAee Sen |

This is a sample of the kind of work |
being done by Wisconsin towns and the
results of their work If the Business |
Mems Club was anything more than a
fancy appendage it would take the lead |
in getting some of these factories to come |
to Kenosha. The Chicago Safe & Lock
Co. has just slipped through our fingers
and settled in Waukegan. They will |
employ 400 men and will mean an addi-
ton of about 2, 600 to the population of |
that erstwhile sleepy old town. But the
citizens Of Waukegan subscribed for
$40, 900 of stock in the company. Wau |
kegan will set the pace for KenOsha very
soon at this rate With their electric |
lights, new railroad and new factories
they offer some very valuable pointers for
the meditation of the citizens of Kenosha. |
1t is possible that all the spare capital in |
Kenosha has already been taken up by |
the new factories started here, but when |
we consider the fact that the bulk Of the |
Chicago Brass Co.. S stock and the MAORI |
ty of the Lane Mfg Co. s stock is owned |
in Chicago; that most Of the Scotford |
stock and part Of the Watch Case Go. S |
stock is owned by men who have come
here from abroad, and it doesn't seem
new enterprises is exhausted. The Aliens
are still developing their immense bust
ness with the energy and enterprise that
has SO distinguished them the past ten
years, and the Northwestern Wire Mat
tress Co. has used an immense amount
of money in increasing its facilities, but
these things do not compensate for the
loss of other immense industries that
might with comparative ease be induced
to locate here II is just possible that it
is not for the interest of some Of the capt.
talists of Kenosha to have the place grow.
If that is So it accounts for the lethargy
of some Of the men to whom we look as
leaders in the progress Of the city
Brother Marden, of the BLADE, was
kind enough last week to state his posi- ]
ton on the Bennett law. We have not t
had the time to discuss the subject as y
fully as he did this week, but the readers t
of the TELEGRAPH COURIER will find +
some gilt-edged reading bearing on the
subject in the 1st column on the 3D. !
