hundred and seventy shares of stock in
the Building and Loan Association have
been subscribed for and the probabilities

,mysteriously Monday evening and his rel
atives failed to find him until yesterday

Burlington road by VIM. Forth going
west He was covered with mud up to
his waist The next heard of him was
when gentleman found him yesterday
morning about fifteen miles west of Ke-
nosha on the Plank Road and brought
him into town. He has not been perfect
ly sane for quite a while, but this is the
first occasion on which his mental aber-

About the 'rockieSt' advertising fake
that has been worked OH the business men
Of Kenosha for long time was Kenosha
''write-up'' in the Worlds Fair Adver-
tiser, a paper presumably issued from
Chicago, filled up on the inside with
''ready print matter and the two outside
pages given to putfs Of business men in
Kenosha, illustrated with stock cuts
made by the thousand for country papers
that fancy them in their advertising col
umns. AS the paper had no circulation
in this county or city and probably none
to speak of anywhere, it is doubtful
where the benefit can come from either to
the city at large or the gentlemen written
up.
This office is in receipt Of d Building
and Loan Association Bulletin, issued by
the association in Crookston, Mimi. Of
which Mr. j. w. Wheeler, Kenosha
boy, is the Secretary. The bulletin
states that the first series Of the association
is now eighty-six months old and Will
mature in ten or twelve months more,
when the shareholder will have paid in
500 and will receive 5000 on each share of
stock The profits to the shareholders
have averaged over 20 per cent. per an
mum for the past seven years. This is
what has really been accomplished by
that association. The association in Ke
nosha will do just as well without doubt
and every wage Garner in the city ought
to take stock in it,
The Masonic Hall is undergoing ex-
24x3O feet has been taken off the west end
of the main room. The Lodge room is
being frescoed in true Egyptian style and
design, the platforms, altar and tables
have been rebuilt and considerable new
and elegant furniture has been pur-
chased. The prospects are that the Ma
sons of Kenosha will have the finest hall
and rooms in the State of Wisconsin when
they get done with the present improve
ments. The membership of the Order is
increasing very satisfactorily, both as to
quality and numbers. The present Off
GERS are hustlers and the transformation
will be complete by the end of the year.
