The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1890-05-01

room In the Public Schools planted an Elm
tree yesterday, as it was Arbor day and
named the tree in honor of Col. Frank.
The exercises were very interesting, con-
sisting of speeches and songs by the young
sters
An incipient blaze near Main. street
bridge was the cause Of fire alarm Friday
evening about 6:4J. The fire patrol
promptly responded, but fortunately their
services were not required as timely APP
plication of few pals of water prevented
what would in all probability have pro ven
disastrous fire.
The frequency with which runaways
dash through Main street threatening des-
truction of life and property is appalling.
These runaways will probably continue un-
til some one is run over and killed and then
the authorities will wake up and punish
the carelessness that permits such things
One of the commonest causes of runaways is
loose paper flying around on the streets I'M
der horses feet. Yesterday several horses
were frightened this way Will not the
authorities take some measures to stop this
The concert at the Business Mems
Club Room Tuesday evening was a success.
The Lewis Lady Violin Quartette are pro-
! ficient performers on the violin and they
treated the audience to some of the finest
music that has been heard in Kenosha in a
long time. Mrs. Farr rendered her solos in
her usual finished manner and added ma
terially to the interest of the programme.
Mrs. H. Fl. Marcusson, of Chicago, presid-
ed at the piano in a very pleasant and
effective way When the ladies give anoth-
er entertainment in Kenosha they will be
welcomed by good house.
The citizens of Kenosha are interested,
whether they know it or not, in having a
good hotel in Kenosha. The Grant House
in Mr. BULBS hands is an excellent hotel
and has been benefit to the place, but it
is quite certain that the citizens do not
give the hotel very much home patronage,
| expect If the merchants and manufacture
ers as we'll as all other citizens, would give
the hotel a little patronage when it can be
done without inconvenience or loss to
themselves it would help out greatly and
| be appreciated no doubt
The City Council has at least one duty
before it that is clearly defined. That duty
is to engage Immediately an expert engin-
eer to lay out complete system Of sewers
for this city. The arguments in favor of
this are almost without number and cannot
be successfully answered. There is no need
(or ought to be none) for urging this pre-
| liminary step upon the Council. Main
street cannot be paved until that is done
and sewer laid in accordance with that
plan. This ought to be done this summer,
and can be done as well as not if the Coun-
Gil will kindly get a little "direct action"
on itself. The people will endorse their
actions as long as they look in the direction
of public improvements, carried out In
business like way.
Who has not heard of luck pennies
If any have not, now is the time to be en-
lightened. At the Department Convention
of the w. r. c. of Wisconsin, held in Mil
waukee last March; when the treasurer
| balanced her accounts she found small sums
due the different corps of the State. Fred
S. Lowell Corps Al, Of Kenosha, had five
cents returned to it. These five pennies
were taken by as many ladies and each pos
sesser intends to have that penny produce
many hundred pennies before next March.
The sums resulting are to be given to the
Wisconsin Veterans Home at Waupaca in
the form of something for inner decoration.
So merchants, if one of the Corps ladies
calls upon you and wishes to invest her
penny, be generous with a response. The
outlook for Corps Al Of Kenosha, has never
been more favorable than now. Since the
dawn of 1890 eight have joined its member
bership, and all goes ''merry as a marriage
| bell" In answer to the call for contribu-
lions to the "Carpet Fund" for the Home
at Waupaca, not only So in cash. but also
2444 yards of new rag carpet was sent as the
donation from Corps Al. A sewing circle
meets weekly and in the near future Ba-
Ear will be held for the joint benefit of the
Chapel Fund at Waupaca and the Corps
treasury. Nor are the poor soldiers fami-
lie= forgotten. Kindly are they cared for
by aid of clothing and provisions. In the
triple bond of 'F G. and L." all are held
tremendously together, and "all are of one
mind in the house" Let the good work go
on, and each continue to work faithfully to-
gether. and verify our labors will be
blessed. COM.
