W. McVIcAR, Secretary.
The students of the University School
have come to the front again this year and
are publishing Ye Humbusge. The corps
of editors is larger than last year and an
improvement in th editorial work is notice
ale. Yc Humbugge will be published fort
nightly from the TELEGRAPH COURIER Of
fee. Mr.. Geo. B. Sedgwick is editor-in-
chief. Mr.. Will NJ Lewis managing editor,
and Messrs. A. K. Sedgwick, V. L. Price
and P. l.. Myers are associate editors.
Their Enterprise and energy will doubtless
place Te Humbugge high in the ranks of
college journalism. 1t will be good prac-
tice for the editors, furnish amusement and
information to its readers and advertise
abroad the advantages and enterprise of the
, University School and Kenosha. "Long
may she wave"
, Mr.. G. A. Dewey and Mr.. Thos. Han
sen have each recently become the owners
Of the buildings in which they do business.
Mr.. Dewey bought his place of Will Kerber
and Will continue to do business at
the same old stand. The sale was effected
last Friday, Mr.. Dewey paying $1,000 for
i the property. 1t is a good "buy," as the
/ property is well adapted to his needs, is
central, has entrances on both Main and
|
Park streets, and will save him the expense
and interminable bother of moving. It is
also an indication of prosperity every one is
glad TO see. Mr.. Dewey then sold his
property across from the Grant House, in
3 which Messrs. Hansen & Huck are doing
: business, to Mr.. Hansen for $5,400. This
saves Mr.. Hansen the necessity Of hunting
up another loo. tion and moving. Thus two
. solid firms on Main street will quit paying
rent and do business in their own buildings.
3 Now that there is no question about the
erection of new High School building,
and with it other advantages, it has occur
red to the scribe that the So 500 bequeathed
by Caroline Louise Field, would come in
just right to furnish the library. The plan
of the building under consideration by the
Board of Education contemplates nice
/ large room for library, and the Cahoon
; library could be very comfortably provided
for wisnin the walls of this building with
out causing the city dollar of extra ex-
pense. This suggestion is thrown out for
the benefit of the Board of Education.
The court has not rendered its decision
on that Cahoon Library case yet, but it
does seem that the plaintiff has very poor
case There is no time limit within which
the provisions of the will must be carried
out, and it would seem that the money once
bequeathed and permitted to 60 through
the County Court uncontested belonged to
the city and awaited the action of the city
/ authorities. IF the decision of the court
: is favorable to the city, steps should be
e taken Immediately to carry the will into
effect.
The burial of Mr.. G. M. Simmons oc
e Cured last Saturday at 2 p. M, from St
S Matthew's church. The attendance was
J. limited only by the capacity of the church
9 and hundreds turned away unable to get in
The altar, pulpit and lectern were very
richly and beautifully decorated with flow
' ers and the casket was covered with red
and white roses. Bishop Cyrus F. Knight
attended the funera in his official capacity
as co-trustee of Kemper Hall and assisted in
the services. Rev, E. J. Van Deerlin, rep
$ resenting Kemper Hall, was also present
: and assisted in the services. Secretary Of
tate E G Timme and Messrs. N. r. AL
, len, Jr., w. w. Strong, Fred Newell, Jas
Cavanagh, C. G. Brown and DR.. n. A. Pen
meyer acted as pail bearers and procession
of over fifty carriages, besides many on
foot followed the remains to their last rest
ing place. As mark of respect, all the
factories closed down and all the business
houses on Main street closed their doors in
the afternoon while the funeral was taking
place. Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Sweet, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. H. Hoyt and Miss Landon, of
Chicago; Messrs. Joseph Clarkson, of Oma-
ha; Col. Jas. III. Howe, of st. Paul; Ichabod
! Simmons, of OAK Park, ILL.,; Jos. V.
Quarles, of Milwaukee and Homer Cook,
of Waukegan, came to pay their last tribute
of affection and respect to their friend Ke-
: nosha was in mourning. The one thought
that was in all minds was the loss the COM
munity had sustained in the death of Mr..
Simmons. Rev. Mr.. Bray, in the course of
his sermon last Sunday morning, paid the
deceased very fitting and graceful tribute
in referring to conversation he had had
with him not long before. He referred to
: his manly character, broad sympathies and
thorough earnestness, and said that al
though Mr. Simmons was not protesting
r Christian that he knew of, yet he had en-
bodied and crystalized in his character the
grandest principles of the Bible.
