THE BUSINESS MEN.
The ARRANGEMENTS for the Big Fete Day
Well In Hand

Well In Hand
That next Saturday will be a day
long to be remembered in the annals of
Kenosha, has passed the possible point
to that of a probability Only one
element of uncertainty appears. What
will the weather be /? No committee
was appointed by the association
Tuesday evening to see the weather
clerk, so as to complete the necessary
arrangements with him, but outside of
that apparent negligence all has been
or is being very rapidly arranged for.
Next Saturday is to be the big day.
There is no doubt about that. Every
body in the city is a member of the
committee to see that it is, and to see
that the hospitality of the occasion
shall be unbounded.
The meeting called by the Business
Mems association to complete the ar
rangements was called together in the
Grant house parlors at about $50
o'clock. The first business to come up
was the report of the committee con-
corning the annexation problem. The
committee reported that the matter
had been settled.
President Brown then said that the
principal business before the meeting
was that of making the necessary ar
engagements for the coming picnic.
The matter was proceeded with in a
very informal way. DIR. Farr said that
he would see to it that the ordinances
relating to bicycling were placed in
allegiance that day. 1t was also re-
marked that the employees of the Sterl-
ing people would have big flag to
display on their building.
2. G.. Simmons, jr suggested that a
committee be appointed to become re-
sponsible for the decoration of the fac
tory building, and John O'Donnell
added a few remarks about the cost Of
band wagons and a brass band, and
moved for a general committee on ar
rangements. This motion was carried
and President Brown decided to ap-
point the committee later in the even
ing. When the committee was ap-
pointed it was as follows:
C. FL. GonneFmann, chairman; John
ODonnell, VIM. F. Fisher. James Cav
anagh, Geo. A. Yule, +. FL. Hall, G, z.

for remarks, stated that he thought
more enthusiasm should be thrown into
the association work.
John O'Donnell presented resolu

Walpole people wanted concerning wa

1t was voted to submit the proposition
to the factory people for their approval.
A communication was received from
E. Warren Pratt, travelling correspond
ent for the Chicago EveniNg Journal,
requesting that committee of three
be appointed to assist him in getting
the material for write-up of the city.
The request was granted and E. L..
Grant, James Cavanagh and Charles
Pfennig made such committee.
The matter Of strike came up and j..

three be appointed to act as an arbitra-
ton board. The committee was made
up of j. A. Killeen, E. L. Grant and
F. FL. Hall.
G. S. Nichols was called Oh for re-
marks. He lauded Kenosha hand
somely. This was followed by few
desultory remarks about the necessity
for more houses in the western part Of
the city.
After the meeting proper the commit
tee Of arrangements was called to-
gether to make up the details of the
picnic.
