millinery and notion business here,
died in Milwaukee Tuesday, after an
illness of about on year, aged 48 years.
He leaves a wife and three children,
one of the latter being the actor known
as Harry Jane.
Superintendent FL. FL. Davidson,
of the Northwestern Military academy
of Highland park, H., requested per-
mission by telegram from Gov. Upham
to have sixty instructors and cadets
from the academy spend four days at
Camp Lake, and the privilege
TO drill with arms with out anu
milton. Permission was Immediately
granted.
The day is coming, but not in this
generation, when laws here as in some
parts of Europe will compel people to
plant young tree for every tree cut
down. The sooner this plan is begun,
the sooner will the forests of the future
be assured. In forestry as in farming,
if you take everything off the ground
and add nothing, the final product will
be a succession of large sized blanks.
Nick Brown, of Pleasant Prairie, is
experiencing more than his share of
bad luck His wife died about two
weeks ago and Tuesday afternoon his
house caught fire and burned to the
ground. Mr.. Brown was at work in
the field when the flames broke out
and the house was unoccupied. Con-
sequently nothing was saved. The in
surance is very light.
"A novelty in the wheel line was
received at the depot this morning.
1t might be called railroad bicycle
were it not for the fact that it has
four wheels. 1t is built for two riders,
but the saddles and handle bars are
placed side by side. The wheels are
of the same shape and size of those on
ordinary band car but are fitted with
wire spokes and ball bearings and are
encircled with a band of rubber.
Said prominent business man
this afternoon: :" / really believe this
Fourth of July celebration the NEWS
is insisting on will be success. Per-
haps I have a queer reason for
thinking so and I'll tell you what that
reason is. Kenosha is very
queerly constituted town. Pve
found by experience that those
things which are started off here
with big boom and blast and are
something the people seem to want
all of a heap" fail, fall fiat, peter
out But when there are only half
dozen who seem to want thing and
they get perniciously active about it
the first thing anybody knows we have
the thing. 1t seems to take that kind
OF start to make things go here.
Queer, but that seems to be the case. T"
The attention of all purity socie-
ties ought to be directed to the new
light which has just been discovered
by Mr.. Edison. If the use of Crooke's
tubes becomes general it looks as if
serious injury would be done to the
morals of the community, in compari-
son with which chorous girls in tights,
dancing girls in cause petticoats, and
so on, will sink into absolute insight
fcance. With this new power placed
| in the hands of wicked world it will
no longer be worth while to legislate
against the nude, for everybody will
| be in state of more or less nakedness.
Even the bones can no longer remain
in condition OF privacy and retire
ment. The clothing of flesh is elimi-
mated. Even a suit of cast iron ware
would be no protection against the
new camera fend. New Y ork Sun.
The lease on the house in which
Joseph Hill and family lived in during
the winter expired by limitation the
first of May. His landlady, Miss Rob-
inson, requested him to move on that
date, but he was unable to find house
that would be vacant until June L.
| Therefore he asked leave to retain his
abode in the intervening time and in
payment thereof offered a months rent.
His request was denied and his land
lady served a writ of ejectment, and on
his refusal to obey he was arraigned
before Justice Pennefeather and fined.
He would probably have paid the fine,
but when the sum of ten dollars, fee for
the landlady's attorney, was added to
the costs he said nit and in default was
escorted to Mr.. Cropley's boarding
house. This morning he was dismissed
on a point of law and it is now said
that he will bring an action against
those concerned for false imprisonment.
In spite of the conclusion given out
that the strike of the street car men in
Milwaukee had failed, the empty cars
operated by the street car company,
and the full buses and carriages oper-
ated by the striking employees are
pretty good evidence that the strike is
something of a success so far as the
men and the public are concerned.
The Milwaukee Sentinel contained the
following on the situation: "There
