The Time is Near.

The time of the annual picnic of the
Old Settlers is fast approaching 1t is
the one event which affords hundreds
the opportunity of kindly greetings of
acquaintance once during the fast
heeting year. The demands of bust
ness and selfish interests absorb and
monopolize our energies to so great an
extent that we can scarcely spend an
hour to make a friendly visit. The
annual picnic gives US a day off, and
the opportunity of looking into the eyes
and grasping the hands of friends and
acquaintance. Business is laid aside
for a few hours and we give ourselves
up to the enjoyment of the event.
There are charms there that WOO us
from cares and perplexities, and we can
lay them aside to enjoy the simple
pleasures of the day. Body and mind
are rested and recuperate6 and new
vigor is generated and stored to meet
new demands. A day at the picnic is
well and profitably spent and yields us
moral benefits that cannot be measured
by dollars and cents.

Z. J. LEWIS RESIGNED
DROPS HIS POSITION AS CASHIER
OF THE BANK.
I'LL HEALTH rs THE REASON
His Long and Faithful Services as a
Banker.-His Health Has Been Serious
for Years.-Great Surprise
Expressed.
(From Mondays Daily }

Considerable surprise was Occasioned
in business circles this morning when
the announcement was made public
that Urban J. Lewis, for long number
of years cashier of the Dan Head q Co.
bank, had resigned his position, owing
to the condition of his health and his
to do the work required of
him as cashier. He has been in very
bad health for years, but has braved a
thousand times more disease and pain
than the ordinary individual could bear
up under in order to keep things NOV
ing. People have often wondered why
he did not give up and seek rest and
recreation, but their wonderment has
never received any answer save the
thin, swaying form of the cashier to or
from his post. He has been a man of
remarkable fortitude and courage, and
has borne up where hardly another
man could. 1t is sincerely hoped Mr..
Lewis will now take long neededres
Urban j. Lewis has been one of the
leading business men of Kenosha for
years. He was born near Exeter, Dew
onshire, England, Nov. q, 1912. He
came to this country with hisparents in
1847. There were six of the children
in the family, q. j. being the third.
Mr.. Lewis has been an entirely self
made man. He never had greater edu-
cational advantages than could be de-
rived from three winter terms of a dis
trict school. All the rest of it he has
picked up by private study. His early
youth was spent on farm. He clerked
two years in a dry goods store in Mon
roeville, Ohio. Next he spent year
and a half as a drug clerk in West
Union. Iowa; then returning to Mon
roeville, he clerked three years for a
dry goods merchant, at the end OF
which time he purchased third inter-
est. He sold out after while and
went on the road for the Travellers In
surance Co. In 1873 he pur-
chased an interest in a bank
at Plymouth, Ohio, and became
it's cashier. This position he held until
he came here in 1875. He became
cashier here May 80, 1875, and has
held the position ever since. He is a
stakeholder in the M. 81. Petit Malt
ing Co., in the Park City Water Co.,
Chicago Bedding Co. and the Arcadian
Brown Stone Co., of Superior. His
home on Park avenue is one of the
finest residences in the city.

The Berlin Journal Man Sizes Us Up anu
Then Gives US Away to His Readers
Charlie Starks, editor of the BeCiImv
Wis, Journal, was among the visitarx
present at the water works test and af
course had something to say about his
observations in our town. Charlie Is aR
" amoosin cuss,' as Artemus Ward
would say, but in his characteristics
manner he tells deal of truth iG hTss
report of the visit, of which the fol}sw-
ing is an extract:
A test" of the hotels was the 6rsG
test of the day. There is only one 6rxtb
class hotel in the city. 1t is said to 6e
a poor hotel town, as it is so near NH
Waukee, Racine and Chicago, with ire
quent trains, that the travelling public
do not make stops long enough to re-
quire a hotel On this occasion shG
mains and service pipes were altogether
too small and they we're trying to throw
too many streams. AS q result the
soup came slowly. with lack of pressure
and everything else in proportion. Tho
chef ought to have called in volUutegE
force and utilized one of the rOtaries tD
" fill up" the crowd of that day. It's
a good hotel under ordinary ciregHR-
stances, but like many others gets
swamped with big crowd.
Kenosha is an old town. 1t has been
dead town for years. 1t has o8HR-
menced to pick up of late. Water
works are one of the signs of reneWe62
life. The census shows growth. The
population is 800. There are many
desirable and favorable features ahGuG
Kenosha. One of them is her lake
navigation and her nearness to ChIGa-
go and Milwaukee, which is causing big
firms to locate their factories at Keno
sha rather than III the large cities. Tho
nearness of the large cities has, here
tofore operated against her and kent
her back. AS Milwaukee and Chicag@
overflow the cities between are the
gamers and will be SO more and more
as years go by. Kenosha has but one
railroad, the Northwestern. Her aiain
street is straight, level, we'll built un,
although some of the structures are off
old style. She Las some handSGmG
homes, but her streets, Except Main
street, which is paved with brick}, arG
terrible. Berlin's most sandy street ia
a boulevard compared to the average
Kenosha street. 1t is stated that they
are at once to be macadamized as ass
as the work can be brought ahGQG-
Most certainly they need it.
Kenosha has many factories; among
others large tanneries and wagon
works. Her business places are nuurer-
Gus and well kept. Her daily papeEg
the EVENING NEWS, is alive and uR So
date.
Kenosha shows signs of improve
ment. Five years will make her q WGg
town and much better one.

ONE MORE ARREST.
Another Hebrew From Chicago Charged
With Arson.

Kenosha is beginning to wonder
where this alleged conspiracy ends
about which there has been so much
said and written in connection with
the big fire Of the Chicago Bedding
company. Detective Cowie and his
understudy, Alexander, claims not to
have reached bottom yet. New clews
are constantly coming to light and
more arrests are expected to be made
at any time. One other arrest has
been made. This time it is Bernhard
Hueffer, of Chicago. He is a Hebrew
the same as six of the other people now
in custody of the law. He made no
resistance to his arrest and came up
with Detective Cowie without making
any fight. He is charged exactly the
same as the other seven with conspir-
acy to defraud insurance companies,
and with arson. 1t is claimed that he
has been as deeply in the mud as the
other seven are alleged to have been in
the mire. And there are more of them
wanted. The question now is: How
far does this go? There is a warrant
in existence for at least two more.
And how many more there are is not
known. The other two wanted are
Bernhard Harris and Isaac Harris.
They are also Hebrews and are alleged
to belong to this gang.
Hueffer was taken before Justice
Slater at 10 o'clock this morning. At
torney Fisher appeared for him. The
preliminary hearing was set for August
80.
The digging into this gang seems to
be never ending task. 1t is now be-
lieved that Mr.. Cowie has rope on a
crowd that has been operating for years
and has been sly enough to keep out of
the hands of the authorities He be-
lieves he has unearthed a monster af-
fair, a: wonders himself how much
further this investigation will take him.

Of the Dull Times.
After year of most successful work
the College of Commerce has closed for
a short vacation. Owing to pressure
of work during the closing month, no
public exercises were held, but a large
class was graduated. The graduates
are: Minnie G.. Balm, Cora B. Finke,
Will A. Stemm, Mamie E. DeDiemar,
Hazel D. Leonard, Martha Schumach-
and Alice Mayer from the shorthand
department; aad William Jensen, CLAIR
ence Fl. Letting, Reuben Letting, Will

Sponholtz from the business depart
ment.
Many students from the college now
hold responsible positions in this city
and elsewhere, and in every case prove
that the training they received we'll fits
them for the work to which they aspired.
Mr.. Trenary is always on the alert
for anything that will add to the con-
yenience or efficiency of his school, or

The Forty"

The forty conference to be held on
the 9th inst. will we trust be pro-
ductive Of the good it has in view
Nearly all the counties have partici'
pated in it to the extent of elecsing
delegates. Indeed all things seem
ripe at present for the final consum-
nation Of peace and unity which,
Immediately after the break some
years ago, far-seeing men Of beth sides
endeayored to bring about as the only
salvation to the prosperity of the State.
Strife has undoubtedly worn itself out
to 3 considerable extent, and the hard
times pressing sore upon them, all
people eyince desire for a cessation
Of factisnal ill-feeling. Acting with
her sister States South Carolina has
always endeayored to advance. Her
advancement has undoubtedly been
retarded by the last I've years of po-
liticsl upheaval. Now the majority
of our people seem weary Of it, and
we trust in participating in cenven-
tons looking towards q reunion they
are all sincere. On sincerity it de-
bends, and laying aside the tricks Of
politics we hops 70. see some common
ground Of understanding reached.

DIED..


MuL.yc-At Cottage Grove, La, at
1880 on Sunday, March II, 1895, Dr..
j. S. Milling, aged IS years.
The death Of this aged apd proml:
nent citizen will cause wave OF sor-
row all over North LOUISIANA. For
,nanv years he has been Impressed
with the. idea that if ever attacked
with the measles he would succumb to
the disease One week ago Sunday be
contracted it and despite the kindest
care of relatives and the assiduoua
attention of DR.. G. II. Irion, who at
tended him, he never rallied from the
attack. In fact, Dr.. Irion said he
despaired Of his recovery because Of
the idea he had conceived that it onld
prove fatal.
Around his bedside were members
of his family, Mrs. DR.. Knott aud
MIR. A. Milling, a half brother, from
Fairfield County, S. G. DR.. Milling
was native of South Carolina, and
has resided at Cottage Grove since
1861, near the Academy and Banks
Chapel at Cottage Grove. He leaves a
wife and four children and three step
children, besides numerous relatives
and friends to mourn his death.
DR.. Milling was one Of the most
eminent, most deeply esteemed resi-
dents of this section Of the State. he
possessed all those traits of character
that won the admiration and love Of
bis fellowmep. He was devout,
earnest and e:7oted member Of the
PRESBYTERIAN Church. AS a physician
lie WAS eminent and skilled; as .
father and brother, loving. true and
kind; as q husband devoted and at
fectionate; as Christian approaching
to the perfection of true faith; as
citizen honored and respected, the
rare type of the true man in the fullest
attributes one of God Almighty's
gentlemen.
At $50 O'Clock yesterday he was
laid to rest in the place which he has
80 long honored with his presence
amid the profound grief of relatives
and friends, Rev. P. II. Nensley Of
iciatirg. The Times in paying tribute
to his worth extends sympathy to the
sorrowing relatives. He who doeth
all things well, will crown with fitting
reward him, who has proven true
and faithful follower. So He giyeth
His beloved sleep.-Shrereport Times.
