number of friends who will be glad TO
hear of her presence in the city.
The funeral of Soren Johansen
took place Sunday afternoon from the
Danish Lutheran church. The Danish
Brotherhood turned out in a body and
escorted the remains to the grave.
Every saloon in town, with two
exceptions, was open Sunday all day
long. There is no attempt to conceal
the fact. What we would like to
know is, Why isn't the Sunday closing
law enforced?
The heavy rains of the past week
have prevented farmers throughout
Kenosha county from doing any seed
ing. The downpour of Friday was
particularly heavy and flooded streams
in many localities.
Mat. Niesen was unfortunate
Saturday evening and ran, full tilt,
into Grifin's hack. By sheer luck. he
escaped unframed, but his bicycle is a
ruin. A young team was attached to
the hack and when they were stopped
scarcely a portion Of the bicycle re-
tanned it's original shape.
"A man from Joe Meyers farm was
returning from the city Saturday even
ing. When he came to the park he
thought he had reached the country
and gave his horses loose reins. An
abstructing post brought him to sud-
den stop. The horse and wagon are
are with Chas. Hansis. The man is
doing some vigorous thinking.
There is one gentleman in the city
who has no further use for the bicycle.
He recently made his wife present of
wheel, and this morning he was no.
tieed sitting on the front porch sewing
on buttons and friend asked him the
cause thereof. He simply replied
bicycle" but the tone of his voice left
no doubt as to his thoughts on the
subject.
-Chas. Taylor is absent. The
Singer sewing machine agency of Ra-
cine, calls the roll several times day,
but silence is the only answer. Charles
also has friends in Kenosha who long
to see him. The Kupfer livery stable
would like to remake his acquaintance
Just 81 worth. Meyers & Frenz
would also like to demonstrate with
him. Taylor was sent down from Ra-
cine as the agent of the Singer sewing
machine company about two weeks
ago. He collected something like 5000.
He went out into the country Saturday
with one of Meyers rigs. He left the
rig at Salem after writing to it's owners
to let them know where it was. From
Salem he went to Chicago taking with
him it is said, the result Of his two
weeks collection.
Rev. G.. FL. Rogers rolled up his
ministerial sleeves Sunday evening and
attacked the manner in which munich
pal affairs are being run. He made
no accusations, but if reported cOndi-
lions existed, he said they should be
promptly and vigorously dealt with.
His subject had been announced as:
The Duty of Good Men in Respect TO
their Ballots" Consequently large
audience gathered to listen to him.
The reverend gentleman claimed that
selfshness was the cause Of most
human failings. Impurlty of suffrage
was due mainly to this. The man
sought the office and made promises
in order to gain it. These promises he
had to fulfil. There were many
classes of voters; each class menace
to liberty. There was the Ignorant
voter and the dependant voter; men
whose employment depended on the
way they cast the ballot. Then there
was the influenced voter. 1t had been
said that every saloon keeper controlled
ten votes. If this were true the saloon
element of Kenosha controlled four
| hundred votes. Such being the case it
was not strange that they had enough
influence to sell liquor seven days in
the week. The remedy had been dis
covered long ago, but he wished to
reiterate it. The good men irrespective OF
party must band themselves together to
overcome evil influences. Mr.. Rogers
concluded by exhorting his hearers to
follow this advice.
The Lake Shore base ball nine
defeated the North Side Juniors Sun
day afternoon in "hot" contest on
the latter's home grounds. The score
was 20 to IA. The members compos-
ing both mines will not average more
than ten years of age. The Lake
Shores may be seen almost any even
ing on Main street in red uniforms.
Emmett McGonegle is captain, mana
ger and pitcher for the organization
As the teams lined up the batteries
were: Lake Shores, McGonegle and
O'Hare; North Side Juniors, Posing and
Wagner. AS shown above the victory
was at once crushing and decisive
The Lake Shores wished to renew the
