WAS A GRAND AFFAIR.
Hearty Applause Greets All the Perform
ers at Sanitarium Concert.

The Sanitarium musical given Satu'r-
day evening under the directions of
Mrs. DR.. Pennoyer and Mrs. Hess
Burr was great success in every way
and thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
The trio by the Misses Wright was veEy
good and they showed a great deal of
skill in the rendition of their different
pieces. The soloist, Miss Evans, de-
serves especial mention. She has an
exquisite contralto voice and sang with
a great deal of feeling. The baritone
soloist was also fine.
We must also speak of the Kenosha
string quartette which furnished two
numbers on the program. That the
audience fully appreciated their local
talent was very evident by the ap-
plause they received.
The last number on the program was
a quartette. Their selection was from
Faust and very beautifully rendered
and received hearty applause.

WE ARE. WELL PROTECTED.
The State Militia Is the Best to Be
Found


The annual encampment of the state
militia companies at Camp Douglas has
been distinct success this year. The
companies of the w. n. G.. are the only
home military organization the state
possesses, and the recent encampment
demonstrated that in case of need they
could quickly become the nucleus of a
great army, if of themselves they were
not sufficient force.
In giving opinions on the work of the
companies this year large number of
the soldiers outside of the organizations
themselves speak in the highest terms,
as do many of the most prominent citi-
zens of the state. They speak of the
whole organization as progressive,
highly to be commended and as bound
to be good in results to the state.
Undoubtedly the state has every reason
to be proud of it's citizen soldiery. Col.
W. M. Farr, who visited the organiza-
tons this year, confirms all the good
opinions spoken by others. The
Fourth regiment is reported to have
shown up especially well, and the work
of Adjutant General Charles Boardman
is specially praised.

HIS TERM CUT DOWN.
ISAAC ROBINSON WILL SERVE BUT
THREE YEARS.
ARSON F1END LET DOWN Easy.
Gov. Scofeld, without Serving Notes
Upon District Attorney Buckmaster.
Takes Two Years From the
Courts Sentence.

Isaac Robinson, the skilled mechanic
of the big arson case of the Chicago
Bedding company, will not serve oWt
the five years sentence imposed upoC
him by Judge Fish after the famOgs
trial. His time has beenfcut down &c
three years by Governor Scofeld, and
that without having notified District
Attorney BuckmaSter that motion
had been made to secure any shorter
term for the fiend.
Robinson was the man who, after
Rosenow confessed and went onto the
stand and told all he knew, made 6
scramble to get into the same wagon
in the hope of getting off, too, and toG
all he knew. After the trial was over
and Judge Fish had the convicted men
before him for sentence, j. Y. Quarlesg
on behalf Of the state, requested thGS
Robinson be given nothing more thar
the minimum sentence, which was three
years for that otfense The Judge
however, thought Robinson was wicked
enough to deserve more and so gave
him the FIVE years. Since Robinson has
been at Waupun Mrs. Robinson hae
made several efforts to get him par
doned, working strongly on the officials
through their sympathies for her in her
terrible struggle to make living foC
herself and nine children. PardOne

BUMPED HIS HEAD.
In His Balloon Ascension Prof Deer
CoIlides With an Iron Bar.


| Collides With an Iron Bar.
Prof Patrick Deer, the aeronaut,
gave a practical demonstration before d
crowd of 1000 people Sunday that his
| head and shoulders were tougher than
a two-inch bar of iron, with which he
came into sudden contact at an early
stage of his flight from the whaleback
steamer Christopher Columbus. This
occurred off Waukegan, and a minute
after it appeared as though the pro-
fessor1 had overlooked an important
engagement in Chicago and was anx-
ious to1ose no time in getting back.
Preparations for the hot-air balloon
ascension had been made with more
than ordinary care. Every knot and
strand of rope in the rigging of the
balloon and trapeze had been thor
oughly tested, and some of the spices
had been made by Capt. Keith himself.
The pipe from the galley and that
which conveyed the hot air from the
deck below had been packed with as
bestos; yet when the imitation was
made some sparks escaped the notice of
the man stationed inside, and in a few
minutes spots of smoking black ap-
peared in two or three places.
There was no time to lose, and the
order was given to let the partly in
fatea balloon go, in the belief that
there was sufficient hot air in it to make
the ascension. AS Deer swung out and
up az the end of the parachute he col
Ilided with an iron awning post, and
with the rebound was twisted round a
guy-rope from the spar that had been
raised to hold the balloon.
1t seemed incredible that such a
shock could be sustained without a
fall, and some of the crowd turned
their heads away, but as he swung in
midair Deer grasped the cords above
the ENHANCEMENT and loosened the
fouled parachute ring with a dexterous
kick. Then he dropped easily in the
lake wi5h the balloon, which in an
other moment was scudding along,
driven by brisk northwest wind and
dragging the aeronaut after at ter
rifle speed. After short chase the
boats which we're lowered rescued Deer
who was in an exhausted condition.

MRS. TISDALE's READING.
she was Delightful. But Only Small Au-
dience Attends.

1t was very small house that greeted
Mrs. Laura Tisdale at her Shakespeare
can reading at the Rhode opera house
Tuesday evening. There was scarcely
more than $50 people present, but they
made up in enthusiasm what was lacked
in numbers. The reading was de-
cided success, taken purely from the
reading standpoint.
Mrs. Tisdale was introduced by Peter
Fisher. The reading selected was
that of " Macbeth" She gave an in
depreciation of the reading as she pro-
ceeded with it, which clarified many of
the intricacies of Shakespeare's mar
velous portrayal of character. Her
voice was remarkably clear and pene-
traoing, though her stage presence is a
trife distracting. The reading, how
ever, was very able and created great
enthusiasm in some places.

der on the Bike Path.
The Racine Journal says: THE BIZ
cycle track between this city and Keno
sha is not what it should be. In many
places it is little better than rough
country road. Cinders secured from
factories in. this city have been depos-
tied on the path and are filled with
large and small tacks and nails. In
stead of curblng being put in on each
side the earth was dumped in loose
and is scattered all over, and only the
center of the path is good for bicycles.
On the other hand, the track between
Kenosha and Berryville is being made
in excellent shape. The whole dis
lance is being curbed and then filled
with red sand, and on top of this will
be placed a covering of cinders. When
it is ready for travel it will be one. OF
the best paths of similar distance in
this country.
But the gentlemen who superin-
tended the building of the path be-
tween this city and Berryville are not
to be blamed. They did the best they
could. After much hard work it was
possible to raise something like 5000.
This did not pay for the whole of the
work and there is still little deficiency.
On the other hand, the Kenosha people
raised something like 81 500. There
are hundreds of riders in this city who
are very fond of riding on paths of this
kind, but when asked to donate a dol
lar or two, refuse to comply. 1t is a
pity such people cannot be prohibited
from riding OH the path"

WANTS $4,000 DAMAGES.
Peter Hanson Alleges he was Injured by
Mrs. Whitley's Bull

The attention of Court Commissioner
John G. Slater was taken up this morn
ing with hearing in the damage suit
brought by Peter Hanson against Mrs.
Mary A. Whitley, in which he demands
$4,000 damages for injuries alleged to
have been sustained by him about a
year ago, or July y, 1896, to be exact,
while he was an employe of Mrs. Whit
ley on her farm in the town of Paris.
The complaint alleges that he was
called by Mrs. Whitley's son to so into
the stall of certain bull for some pur-
pose, he did not know what. The son
was in there and it was quite dark so
that he could see but little. He says
he had hardly more than
got into the stall when the bull
hooked him in the abdomen, nearly
disemboweling him, and seriously cut
ting and injuring his left leg. The
bull threw him into the air in the pro-
cess. AS consequence of the BULBS
attack Mr.. Hansen says he was very
sick for months following, and claims
not to have fully recovered yet from
the injuries sustained. He is now en-
ployed at the Sanitarium as a team
ster.
No decision was sought in the hear
ing today. The plaintiff was repre-
sented by L. g. Bohmrich, and the
defendant by Cooper, Nelson, Simmons
& Walker, of Racine, Mr.. Nelson hav-
ing been here personally to look after
the case today.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 22.-William Kersh
who was chosen by the electoral college
to carry the official vote OF Georgia to
Washington, left at noon to-day for the
capital, with the documents safely in his
inside pocket.
Four years ago when Cleveland was
elected, Col. Grub of Darien was chosen
messenger, and being delayed by wreck,
was late in arriving, and there was no
little excitement over it, MIR. Kersh says
he will run no risk of causing a sensation
and incidentally he will save $1,000 by not
being late, which amount is the fine i'm
posed for hardness.
When the state electors met and cast
their vote by ballot, in accordance with
the constitution, they made three copies
of the vote, one was turned over to Judge
Newman, one sent to the president of the
Senate, and the third given to the mes
senger.
All the ballots from all the states must
be in the hands of the Vice President by
Monday next, when, in the presence of a
