The Afternoon Whist club met Sat-
urday afternoon with Mrs. l.. w. Mil
Ter. The prizes we're won by Mrs. j.
Ell. Charles and Mrs. Morrison Garst.
It was reported on the streets this
morning that Frank Dolan, the well
known Kenosha sport, and young
lady of Milwaukee were recently mar
ried in Racine. When seen about the
report he denied the truth of it.
While Howard Robinson was dis
tributing papers in the vicinity of the
Sterling Tuesday, zepher came along
and took his papers with it. They
went down Prairie avenue and neigh
boring streets with a great tfutter and
hubbub like flock of pigeons. After
about half an hour with the help of
several parties, he got them picked up
Mr.. and Mrs. John t. Yule enter
tanned a number of friends at whist
Tuesday evening. Refreshments were
served at Z o'clock. After refresh
ments five tables were prepared and
the remainder of the evening was spent
in playing whist. The prizes were
awarded as follows: Mrs. Charles
Frantz, first ladies prize; George Hale,
first gentleman's prize.
The two young fellows that tried to
get away with the shoes from Mat
Huck's not long ago and were brought
up before Justice Slater and sentenced
to forty days in the county Jail, giving
the names of James Clark and Frank
Rice, while hauling some coal for the
sheriff Tuesday afternoon, took advan
tage of his leniency and left the place.
They are still abroad, but Sheriff Abel
is hard after them and will probably
have them back soon.
Efforts are being made to have a
meeting of the business mems club in
the early part of next week. 1t was
thought best at first to call it this week
Saturday, but as the council doesn't
deal with the question in hand at that
meeting, and as there are several who
wish to attend the business mems
meeting who cannot on Saturday night,
it will probably be called the first of
next week. Their plan is to have the
meeting under the auspices of the club,
but to open the doors for all property
holders and citizens who are interested
in the matter and wish to present their
opinions.
Tips are being given out very quietly
among the sports of the town that
there will be prize fight next Satur-
day night in Kenosha between well
known local sport and an unknown
from Milwaukee, who is said to be
working at one of the bicycle factories.
Articles of agreement have been signed
between them. Tickets are up for
sale at So apiece and they are being
taken up like hot cakes at that price.
Most of the money seems to be back
ing the local sport, and quite con-
siderable of it is up on the outcome.
Every body who has a ticket expects
to see dead hot go.
At the special meeting of the council
Tuesday evening the following action
was taken with reference to the Reber
& Martin building which is being en-
larged within the fire limits: Aid. Yule
moved that Reber & Martin be allowed
to finish the addition to their
building on condition that they
put covering on the entire building
with heavy corrugated iron, to the
satisfaction of the chief and the COM
mittee on fire department. The motion
was carried. Aid. Yule moved that the
mayor and clerk be instructed to issue
a building permit in accordance to the
above resolution. The motion was
carried.
Local boards of health cannot any
longer enforce the iOrder for the
vaccination of every child before
before he will be allowed to attend
school. The order was knocked out
Tuesday by decision of the supreme
court of the state. The case upon
which the court passed went up from
Rock county. j. L. Adams, of BelOit,
refused to have his child Yaccinated
and the school board barred her out.
Mr.. Adams at once asked the circuit
court for writ of mandamus } compel
the school board to allow his child to
attend school without being vaccinated.
The writ was granted at once and the
school board appealed the case to the
supreme court. The court held that
there being no epidemic of small pox
anywere in the state the state board of
health had no right to enforce any such
order as it had promulgated and that
the state board of health had no legis
lative powers anyway. The court
q affirmed the decision of the court
