TOWN TOPICS.
Matters Talked of and Facts Now at the
Front in Kenosha.

Front IN KenOSha.
Once more the arson case is to the
front and the air is full of rumors as TO
the arrests that have been made, all of
which it seems on further developments
are false but, it is interesting to note
how eager the public is over these re-
ports and the men whose names have
been OH the lips of all for the past "a
hours, can at least fatter themselves
that they are not forgotten by their
fellow towns people. 1t looks at pres
ent as if Kenosha were again to arrest
the attention of the surrounding coun-
try by greater depths of scandal than
have hitherto been unearthed.
The Woman's Exchange which has
been in eXistnece for some years, hav-
ing passed into the hands of John
Kupfer will have its fall opening
this week Saturday when it is
understood that many beautiful
pieces of fancy work and other articles
of woman's handy work, will be on
EXHIBIT, also all kinds Of home made
save themselves much work for
Thanksgiving as we'll as have salts
factory dinner, can not do better than
! by leaving their order at this exchange.
For all housekeepers who had occasion
| to patronize the WOman'S Exchange in
the past have gwen 1t as their belief
that no better cooks ever existed in the
town than those who contributed to
| this work. 1t is hoped that the public
will appreciate the benefits to be de-
rived from this establishment, and give
it their hearty support. 1t has one
thing in it's favor, being now located in
very popular as we'll as central place
and there is every reason to prophesy
it's success. Waukegan and Racine
both support woman's exchange. the
! former place being in very tlourishing
condition and what these two neigh
boring towns can do, surely Kenosha
can do as we'll
A startling robbery case was brought
to light during the past week in which
one of our leading citizens was impli-
Gated in fact was the man who did the
job; his arrest has not been officially
reported SO the matter must have been
smoothed over. 1t seems that lady
! residing on one of our principle avenues
returned home alone one afternoon
about dusk and entered the house as
usual with her latch key; imagine her
fright and dismay when she saw upon
stepping inbo the paror all the family
silver streWn about the foOf To utter
a scream run out of the front door and
hasten to the house of friend near by
to secure help, was the work of mo-
ment. The sympathy and interest of
the friend was Immediately enlisted by
the heart rending if somewhat dis
jointed tale of burglar in the house,"
"silver all on the floor, y " don't know
how much is gone upstairs" "man
must be in the house," etc, ETC., so
calling her man servant, together all
three went back to the house, and en-
tered with fear and trembling, not
knowing at what moment a villainous
face might peer out of the darkening
corners demanding their money or
their life. The man servant had at
one time been in the army and when
told it was a burglar he was to van
quish brought his gun along and now,
with bayonet pointed and ready at any
moment to GraW the trigger if the thief
put in an appearance, he marched with
martial tread thro' the house, followed
at a discreet distance by the two
trembling women, one with a candle in
her hand, for it was getting quite dark,
and the other with the empty silver
! basket. But no trace of anybody
could be found, and when the man of
the house returned that night it de-
veloped that he was the guilty party
and had done it for a joke! It's a
great pity his wife did not telephone to
the chief of police to have him arrested.
Messrs. Kehlor and Lance spent
Sunday in this city.
Mrs. Sheridan, who has returned
from her trip to the South, spent a
couple of days with her mother, Mrs.
Swansdale, during the past week. She,
with her little daughter, will return to
Kenosha the first of December to make
their home for the winter months.
Mrs. Eaton is the guest of Mrs.
Thomas Bond.
Mrs. Lance gave a very delightful
ladies card party on Thursday after
noon in honor of her sister, Mrs.
Towne. The prizes were won by Miss
Lizzie Bond and Miss King.
