old age is like the whooping cough;
everybody gets it.
Every one is inclined to lie about
the value of his wheel.
After AL, nothing appeals to people
like something good TO eat.
1t is easier to get wife by adVertis-
ing than it is to sell a horse.
Most people do not want to know
the truth, if it is disagreeable.
Mrs. A. T. Campbell, of Milwau-
kee, is visiting friends in this city.
If you could see all mans weak
spots, you'd think he had the measles.
Girls, there are few men worth the
attention and hard work necessary to
catch them.
The Rev. A. S. Crapsy, of Roches-
ter, N. Y, preached the baccalaureate
sermon at Kemper hall Sunday.
Mrs. Herman Rhader and Miss
Gusta Bohle returned home Sunday
evening from weeks visit in Chicago
The storm Sunday was severe
enough to blow down one tree and g
large branch off another at j. Fl. Kim
balls.
"A man came very near being run
over by the $50 passenger train which
atterward killed Dick Riley, at the
T1i1oho+Io c+roo+ orocoiom CofY7rd q Z
evening. The man, who was drunk;
stumbled and fell onto the track just
ahead of.the train. He was so stupid
he could not move himself and only the
timely assistance of another man saved
him from being run over. He was
pulled off just in time.
Pigs as usual rule do not swim,
and water unless it is mixed with a
certain amount Of mud is abhorred by
the average pOrker. But down near
the Boom company's storage in Mari
nette is little pig with strange pro-
clivities. He takes to the water like a
spaniel and swims with grace and dex-
terity long distances. Arthur La
Chance saw him hop into the water of
his own accord and swim over a quar-
ter of mile. He jumped out on the
shore himself and the owner had to
send his boys after him. The pig
seems to like the water and it differs
little how many times he is driven
away he still persists in taking his
daily baths
Two papers, one in Chicago and
one in New York, use $50 tons of
paper each a day. This is more paper
than was produced in the whole coun-
try, in one day, twenty-five years ago.
This shows the growth of the news
paper business as nothing else, per-
haps, would. But it also indicates the
wonderful development of the paper
trade. A single paper may now use
the total output of several mills. The
Fox valley sends it out by the train
load every day. Paper is now exported
in considerable quantities and the i'm
ports are confined to special grades
Mills are going up all over the country
and finding a market waiting for their
product.
There is something uncanny, Wierd
and distasteful about DR.. Jekyll and
Mr.. Hyde" The play as presented
Saturday evening by the VIM. Owen
company was of the order to leave a
bad taste in the mouth. Not the act
ing but the play. The actors took
their parts we'll and presented the play
in a highly commendable manner. In
fact it was the strength of the pro-
duction which made the feeling of
horror creep over one as he left the
opera house and looked out into the
night. The company presented all its
plays last week in highly commend
able way. And the public of Kenosha
and attended them in large
numbers. This fact points moral,
which Manager Rhode has probably
not failed to notice. That is when
good plays are run in here the people
will support them. Mr.. Rhode has
started in we'll. He has taken a high
stand, and it is most sincerely to be
hoped he will keep it, for one bad show
thrown in now and then will destroy
the drift of public sentiment which is
now flowing his way. All he needs now
to do is to keep the opera house at
point where it will be considered the
thing for people to take their guests
That will have an immense bearing on
keeping up his support.
