The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1895-10-17

clever writer who lives at Highland
Park and whose name is Mrs. Martha
E. Holden. Her writings are liked
here very much by Kenosha people who
do not know her, as we'll as by those who
do know her. 1t will be matter of
interest to know that her two daugh-
tiers are engaged to be married soon.
Miss Blossom Holden to w. w. Deer
slow and Miss Margery Holden to Dr.
Turner of Fort Sheridan. A double
wedding will be celebrated late this
month.
Long winter evenings are now
close upon us when a nice book and d
warm fire side will be the proper thing.
That being the case a movement will
soon be set a foot to remove the library
in the Unitarian church to some con-
venient place down town and open it
to the public. The movement will also
look toward the establishment OF a
library association having for its OBJ
ject the establishment and maintance
of a creditable public library. This
paper does not feel that it has done it's
full duty to the public until such an
establishment becomes one of the in
situations of the town. A place will
soon be ready by which this can be
done without imposing very heavy
burdens on anybody. Next spring
should see us on the road toward fine
public library.
Florence Estella, the II year old
daughter of James E. Spencer, Of Som
ers, died Friday afternoon Of consump-
ton, after brief illness. Deceased
was bright AID Winsome girl whose
friends were numbered by her acquaint-
ances. The sorrow to the family which
her death has occasioned is made the
more severe since only few months
ago the same dread disease took the
mother out of the home. The father
and brothers who remain will have the
sincere sympathy OF friends in their sad
aff1iction. The funeral, which took
place Sunday from the Somers M. E.
church, was very largely attended.
c.. A. Dewey and wife, with Rev. and
Mrs. McFarlane, of Evansville, Wis,
drove out to give their sympathy. Mr..
McFarlane married Mr.. and Mrs.
Spencer some twenty three years ago.
There was a scene in Justice Sla-
ter's court last Saturday which has
been kept very quiet. 1t was a very
stirring scene and took place between
a certain young Pleasant Prairie couple.
The young man had been arrested on
complaint of the girl on charge Of
bastardy and she came in to testify
against him. When the young man
came into the Justices room where she
was waiting she rushed up to him and
begged and implored him to marry her
and remove the stain which was inev
itably coming to her good name. The
scene is described to have been an eX-
ceedingly affecting one. The young
man was obdurate and would make no
promises and would not consent to the
ceremony, SO the justice after taking a
little testimony put the fellow under
$500 bonds for trial Oct. 81. We have
the names of the parties, but withhold
them for prudential reasons.
The Jenny Lind Quartet furnished
the first number in the Y. NJ. G. A.
course of entertainment at the Rhode
opera house Monday evening. Taken
altogether the entertainment was very
pleasing. The quartet is very even
ly balanced one and the members
voices we're smoothly blended, though
they did not quite reach the same
height of culture of quartets Kenosha
audiences have heard. The numbers
were about all evenly received, there
being no special hit except possibly the
encore song in negro dialect" Mammals
Little Boy" and tho final number
Old Folks at Home" This last was
given an original rendition which was
very pleasing. The readings of Miss
Nina Prentice Borden we're all excel
lent. In Leah, the Forsaken," she
fell little short by reason of not hav-
ing a sufficient volume of voice to carry
the parts strongly, but in every other
way it was a master piece. The other
readings Behind the Curtain" and
+" Mrs. Hoderblister's Troubles" were
excellent. There was splendid aud
fence in attendance and the Y. M. G.
A. management has reason to feel
gratifed at the results.
There is a strange story which
comes from the Third ward. The date
of it is said to be Saturday. A young
man accidentally ran across some brok-
en- pieces of Indian arrow heads and
carried them around among some OF his
friends and declared that he knew
where there was spot where several
Indians had been buried in years agone
and he aroused the desires of the boys
to 60 out some time and dig up some
of the relics. They planned the eX-
