Resolutions of Respect.

In memory of Nicholas Tanning, who
was member of Kenosha Tent No. 80,
Knights of the Maccabees:
Whereas, The Great and Supreme
Ruler Of the universe has in His infinite
wisdom removed from among us one of
our worthy and esteemed fellow labor
ers, Nicholas Tanning, and,
Whereas, The long and intimate re-
lations held with him in the faithful
discharge of his duties in this society
make it eminently beftting that we
record our appreciation of him; there
fore,
Resolved, That the sudden removal
of such life from among our midst
leaves a vacancy and a shadow that
will be deeply realized by all the mem
bers and friends of this organization
and will prove a serious loss to the
Tent.
ResQseed, That a copy of these resp
buttons be spread upon the records OF
this organization, copy printed in the
local paper and copy forwarded to
the bereaved family.

RAN THE FIRST CAR.
s1ush, Bishop and Case Go over the New
Electric Line.

Racine, Wis, Dec. THE first car
was run over the Milwaukee, Racine &
Kenosha Electric Railway as far north
as the tunnel, distance of five miles.
One of the Belle City Street Railway
cars, with the power of that company,
was used. Manager Jackson /. Case,
of the Belle City company, had charge
of the car, and there were on board
Mathew Slush and A. W. Bishop, pro-
moters Of the road, and many citizens.
The roadbed was found TO be in excel
lent condition and the run of FIVE miles
was made in about twenty minutes.
The management of the new enterprise
stated that the tunnel or culvert under
the tracks of the Chicago & North
Western Railway would be completed
about Dec. %, and an effort will be
made to run a car over the entire line
by Jan. l. It is doubtful if the road
will be in full operation before Feb
ruary.

WANT A RUNNING MATCH.
What They Have to Say About Ayres'
Challenge to Walk in Racine.

Challenge TO walk In Racine.
Herbert M. Ayres, who has been try
ing for some days to interest the Ra-
cine walkers in contest for the record
between Racine and Kenosha, has just
received a letter from J. F. Sugden,
who offered the gold medal to the win
ner Mr.. Sugden says: 4" 1t would be
difficult to arrange a walking match
because of the fact that SO few men
know the rules governing walking
contest. The probabilities are that
some one would be disqualified. |
have seen many SO called walking
matches, and they have invariably
turned out to be running races. How
ever, would like to see either walk
ing or running match arranged to es-
tablish record between Racine and
Kenosha as I am greatly interested in
such contests. Don't think there is a
walker in Racine, but think you could
arrange a running match over the
same course"
The men Mr.. Ayres was particularly
after were the three who recently
walked the distance in two hours and
five minutes. They have established a
record and the Kenosha man wants to
see if he can't lower it.
If, in the course of few days, Mr..
Ayres is unable to arrange for a walk
ing contest, he will go over the road
just to see what he can do, all oy his
lonely.

A Reflection.

And now again the long, dark cherries days,
score of which we cheerfully would barter
For but few poor hours of vanished June
Twas just the same year ago today,
When we were like to beggars wishing wealth
And at our poorness oftentimes complaining;
Until. in semblance of bounteOus legacy
The summer came filling our hearts with
gladneSs
But we like spendthrift fools new come to
wealth,
Not holding riches at their proper value
Squandered our heritage of sun aud EoWers
In carelessness and pfodigaliiy
And finding too late the well of wealth run dry
Now spend our days in winters abjeet poverty

WE'RE HUNTsMEN BOLD.
The Three of Them Brought Home One
Squirrel Between Them.

A good story is told on three of the
polishers at the Sieg & Walpole fac
tory. They formed into a party Sun
day and went out with loaded guns on
the plank road straight west. In their
gazing along the road for game the
three became considerably separated.
One of the boys got mile or so ahead
of the others and suddenly ran upon a
dead squirrel at the foot of tree. He
at once picked the animals carcass up
and placed it upon limb. Running
back he notified the other two that he
had discovered game and drew them
cautiously up near the tree where the
squirrel had been placed. They raised
their guns and fired, peppering the
poor remains of that departed animal
full of shot. In triumph they picked it
off the limb and brought it home. The
fellow who put up the job said nothing
until after the other two had exhibited
their prowess well. Then he
squealed." The other two men are
now on the warpath for the joker.

is PROBABLY IN MILWAUKEE,.
Mrs. Bryan's Sudden Disappearance Is
Cause for Much speculation.

Cause for Much Speculation.
The rumors that are afioat concern
ing Mrs. Ellen Bryan being missed are
of nature to create good deal of
talk. The conjectures that have been
made concerning the fact that she has
not been at her home, corner of Ash
land avenue and Dayton street, for
some time are most of them, however,
unfounded and easily dispersed. There
seems to be no reason for anxiety as
her absence is probably easily ex-
planned. The following are the facts:
About the middle of last week some
of her. neighbors remarked that the
house seemed vacant, aud that Mrs.
BRYAN has not been seen for day or
two. This fact did not at first arouse
any fear, as she had been accustomed
to going away for short time, usually
leaving word with some one of her
neighbors. In this case each supposed
that the other had been told the par
ticulars. Beside Mrs. Letting had been
seen coming out of the gate and the
milkman made his regular calls. After
little, however, inquiries were set on
foot, and it developed that no one had
gotten word of her going. and Mrs.
Letting had only called at the house
and found it closed. This stirred up
no little commotion. and further inquir-
les were made. Father Roche was in
terrogated, but knew nothing. He
wired to Father Trent, of Racine, who
is Mrs. Bryan's guardian, asking infor-
nation from that quarter, and of her
relatives in Racine. But neither had
heard anything.
This afternoon, however, Mr.. Nc
Allister, who usually carries Mrs. Bry-
ans mail, said that Tuesday he had de-
livered to her a letter from Milwaukee.
This suggested that probably she had
been unexpectedly summoned to that
city. The last that has been heard
says that Miss Wescott has corrOborat-
ed the suggestion and stated that Mrs.
Bryan had been suddenly called to
Milwaukee

next Saturday at Athletic park, when
the Illinois Steel Company foot ball
club, of Chicago, meets the Horlick's
Food Company's eleven in match
game of foot ball, under association
rules. The Chicago team is a power
full one, and it's past record indicates
it will put up a highly interesting
game, while the Horlick eleven has
such material as Herzog, Shedding,
Sugden, Joseph Denman, Benjamin
Denman, Weir, Horlick, Barnes and
others, all foot ball veterans, who have
been in hard training for long time,
for this particular match. Their prac-
tice games are perfect, which will make
the contest close one, and honors
will be fought for inch by inch Let

WHO rs MoRGANsoN?
An Item Floating Around About an Al
legged Kenosha Man.

legged Ken0Sna Man.
Who is Christian Morganson? That
is the question. He is said to be a
Kenosha man and the following about
him appears in a Chicago paper:
g Christian Morganson left his home
in Kenosha last Saturday with $105 and
went to Chicago. During his rambles
about the city he met Annie Olson, of
317 Milwaukee avenue. She, accord
ing to the young man, represented her.
self as being al actress, but out of en-
ployment and short of ready cash.
Morganson's compositions went out to
the woman, and together they spent
almost all of his $1O5.
"She left him then, Notwithstanding
that he offered her home on his farm
in Wisconsin. Grieved over the loss of
his money and also over his inability to
marry Miss Olson, Morganson invested
two dollars in a revolver. He went to
where Miss Olson roomed and de-
handed that he see her. She met him
in the hallway, where, she alleges, he
drew his revolver and threatened to
kill her and himself unless she consent
ed to marry him. She screamed for
help and was heard by other roomers in
the house.
An officer from the West Chicago
avenue police station was called and
Morganson was arrested. He was
brought before Justice Stevenson
charged with carrying concealed weap-
ons and disorderly conduct The
magistrate continued the case until
this morning."

A PARLOR ROMANCE.
A Young Man, Sweet Face and How They
Concerned Hat.

A well-known young man of this city
is going about with crushed hat, the
sign of an unfortunate experience while
calling on his best girl the other even
ing. Filled with the thoughts of the
pleasant evening before him, he walked
very briskly up to the door of the young
lady's home and gave the bell CHEEKY
ring. The fair face he was expecting
appeared at the open door to welcome
him. He stepped in with the air of one
at home, and to save her any trouble
carelessly threw his coat down on the
head of the couch and his hat just above
it. After he had been seated, his fair
entertainer took possession of that part
of the couch nearest the cast off coat.
The young man was suddenly seized
with the idea that the coat and hat
would look much better on the chair
he occupied and vice versa. Accord
ingly he made the change and congrat-
ulated himself on the Improvement He
had made great mistake, however, in
throwing his coat over the hat, for later
on when the lady OF the house slipped
| in to ask for the morning paper, he
| hastily resumed his former chair OF
course he had been sitting there all the
evening, that is the impression he
meant to give and he succeeded in SO
far as the,hat was concerned. When
the lady had left, he arose, murmur-
ing: What funny feeling, where am
my hat" and other things not meant
for publication. He babe the young
lady hasty farewell and trudged home
through the early mornings uncertain
light, his mind full of disquieting
thoughts.

COUNCIL MEETING.
A Meeting Of the Common Council in
Which Ordinances were Abundant.

Which Ordinances were Abundant.
At the council meeting Monday
night all members were present.
The first order of business, after the
reading Of the minutes of last meeting,
was the granting of another new
saloon license to G.. W. Lewis in the
Tenhagen house.
A petition was presented asking the
council to put the new lamp on Park
street on the corner of Lyman avenue
instead of on Rowland avenue.
Permission was asked of the council
to enlarge the popcorn stand opposite
the First National bank,
John w. Lewis asked to have the
electric light pole removed from the
corner of his lot
The following ordinances were given
the first reading:
An ordinance for licensing hacks,
buses, drays, etc., and charging So
and $40 per year according to size; also
drivers of hacks and buses ST. per year
and making rules governing the same.
An ordinance licensing dogs and
charging 81 per year for each and
every dog, the city clerk to furnish
checks for each license paid, said check
to be placed on the collar of the dog
licensed. This ordinance was referred
to the judiciary committee.
An ordinance naming streets, and
numbering houses; making regular
rules for same and compelling all
owners cf houses in city limits to have
numbers put on their houses. This
ordinance does not change the numbers
already on hOuses.)
An ordinance compelling owners of
property on Washington island to build
docks or Instructions to prevent sand
and dirt from washing into the har-
Dor. At this time Alderman MCGivern
introduced a resolution to establish
harbor lines and presented a govern
ment map showing exactly where
lines were located. The resolution
was adopted.
Rose Eagan and Mrs. Mann were
each allowed their regular So week.
AID. Yale moved to levy s per cent.
on all taxable property in the City of
Kenosha.
Permission was granted to parties to
move the North side engine house.
Aid. O'Donnell introduced plan to
pave Market square and with it the
city engineers map, showing plan
in detail. The plan allows for a small
park or grass plat at each c:"l of this
square forty feet wide by a. set long,
these parks are Is feet narrower than
we're laid out three years ago, and
considerably shorter, making more
room in the street proper. the cost to
the city of paving with brick is esti-
mated by the city engineer to be $4,000
with parks, or $4,000 to pave the entire
square. 1t is also estimated that the
city's share in paving with brick all
around the park and west on Prairie
avenue to city limits will be $4,000.
The alderman moved to have speci-
fications drawn up for paving, by the
city engineer, one copy for each aid
erman, so that they would have time to
look over the same and get them right
before they let any paving contracts.
The council then adjourned until
next Friday evening, Dec Ii.
