WAS AFTER LARNIN'
Runaway Horse in Search of It Badly
Hurts Frank McKeon.

About II o'clock Thursday night,
while driving home, Frank McXeon
met with disaster in the shape Of a
runaway which landed his carriage,
completely wrecked, and himself,
bleeding and unconscious, at the front
door of N. A. Rowe's residence on Chi
cago street. In turning the corner by
the Congregational church McKeon
had lost one rein, and the horse going
at a rapid rate, ran full tilt into Mr..
Rowe's door before the driver knew
what had happened. A little before l
o'clock the man was picked up and
taken to Patrick Carr's saloon, where
he was taken care of until Dr.. Farr
could be summoned. At Starkweather
& Co.'s drug store the doctor sewed up
a cut in his face and bandaged num-
Der of bad cuts in the head.

CHILD scALDED TO DEATH.
While Visiting in Brighton It Falls Into
Tub of Hot Water.

The little 15-year- old child of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Smith was so badly
scalded in Brighton Thursday after
noon by falling into tub of scalding
hot water that it died, while on visit
to the grandfather of the child. Mr..
and Mrs. Smith live in Kansasville and
Mrs. Smith and the child were visiting
at her fathers. The tub of water was
left standing OH the floor. The screams
of the unfortunate little one were heard
and the mother snatched it from the
water, as soon as possible. Dr. San
ders, of Kansasville, was summoned
and soon arrived on the scene. When
the clothing was removed from the
child the skin came with it in large
quantities, and the doctor gave as his
opinion that the injuries would prove
fatal. Friday, it was learned, that the
child died.

A DEED OF HEROISM.
One That Has Escaped Attention Since
Monday.

Among the many deeds that are per-
formed every day which are deeds of
real heroism, but of which the public
seldom hears, was one which took place
last Monday. 1t was done so quietly
that it was only the merest chance that
knowledge of it has leaked out.
On the day in question a small boy
by the name of Carr, of Chicago, was
near the Main street bridge playing.
In some way or other he fell into the
river and seemed about to drown. A
man by the name of Dolke, who works
in the machinery department of the
Sterling factory, was nearsthe bridge at
the time and saw the boy. He ran
down and jumped into the river after
him with his best suit of clothes all on.
The boy was rescued and quietly sent
home. 1t is understood that Mr.. Dolke
has since received $12 from the grateful
father.

WANTS A MEETING CALLED
The Business Men Should Discuss the
Electric Line.

Electric Line.
To the Editor of the News-The
writer is a believer, no doubt with
many others, that the city will sooner
or later grant franchise to the Elec-
trio railway company to construct a
street railway which must pass through
our city. Also being firm believer in
the wisdom of such grant on the part
of the city, but not being satisfied as to
the route the proposed road should
take, and being of the opinion that it is
question that should interest the.citi
zens in general, and more particularly
the business men. have this suggestion
to offer: Have the Kenosha Business
Mems club call meeting for the pur
pose of discussing this question and
take some action in the way of APP
pointing a committee of business men
to investigate the subject. 1t seems to
the writer that such committee might
be of much assistance to the city coun-
Gil in settling this question. M. S. E.

MISS eoLDTHoRp's RECITAL.
she Is Greeted by Full House and Great
Enthusiasm.

Miss Edna Goldthorp's looming out"
into the Evolutionary world was one of
the most gratifying she could
possibly have wished. She was greeted
by house SO full that If any more had
come they would certainly have had to
stand. AS it was chairs were filled into
all the available spaces and filled.
The recital was one of the pleasantest
and most enjoyable affairs of its kind
this city has known for some time.
The program opened with solo, " Out
on the Deep" by F. H. Truax. This
gentleman has very deep second bass
voice and sang we'll.
Miss Goldthorp then appeared and
read "The Stag Hunt" by Sir Walter
Scott. The piece is one which presents
considerable difficulty to the reader,
but throughout Miss Goldthorp showed
very good command of herself and her
subject. In fact, it is not often, even
among more experienced readers. that
one hears so good an Interpretation of
the lines beginning with Woe worth
the chase" and from these to the end.
Miss Newman. of Racine, read " The
Village Gossip" by Kate Douglas
Virgins Her work was very good
and showed careful study and prepa-
ration.
The solo, Whisper and | Shall
Hear" by Miss Robinson, accompanied
BY a harp and violin, was neatly rem
dered Then Miss Newman appeared
again in The Soldier of the Empire. :"
4 great deal Of dramatic power is nee
essary to the proper rendition of this,
and in its most intense parts Miss
Newman needs to reserve her force for
the climaxes. The greater part of the
work was we'll performed, however.
In "The Slow Race" Miss Gold
thorp appeared again to very good ad-
vantage. She was painstaking in the
details and showed no poverty OF good
| gesture. There was a quality about
her work which, while it did not reach
the loftlest heights nor yet groveled in
the mediocre, it gave one that sense of
satisfaction which comes with a feeling
that there is a reserve power behind it.
The next on the program was solo
by Charles Cooper. His first one was
Wait, Mr.. Postman," and after a
hearty encore he sang "The Deacon
Went Astray" The latter was very
comical.
Then followed the last number,
" Fast Friends" This was rendered
by both Miss Goldthorp and Miss New
man. 1t was very neat little sketch
and one calculated to make the audi
ence laugh, which it did heartily. In
this Miss Goldthorp was quite clever.
Miss Newman was very good. On the
whole the performance was q very
good one, however. Each OF the pieces
on the program was encored and re-
| SnOnde0 TO VerV generously.

WHAT THEY THINK.
Expressions of Opinion by Some OF the
Business Men of Kenosha.


Business Men of Kenosha.
We have endeayored to see as many
of the business men of Kenosha as pos
sible today and get an expression from
them as to where they think the cleo
trio road should go, always with the
understanding that it is to be pas
senger road and not freight road IN
any sense, and that all cars running
through are to stop at any corner they
are requested to to take on passengers.
Below are some of the opinions ex-
pressed:
W. W. Strong Anywhere but Park
avenue.
G. A. Dewey-Put it on Main street
by all means.
B. Simmons There is only one
place and that is Main street.
r. E. Sutherland the main
business street, which Of course means
Main street.
Henry Halberstadt-Ma line on
Ashland avenue. will then build
three stores on my property corner of
Ashland avenue and Park street.
Holderness & White-Both want it
on Main street full length.
T. j. Dale-On Main street by all
means. I was in Elgin when line
wanted to go through their Main
street, but some of the merchants OBJ
iected. The road was finally put on
Main street and now you could not get
| it off that street for any money
c.. III. Hurd-On Main street.
H. S. Van Ingen Where the major
ity want it.
Attorney Hastings Main street is AZ
good as anywhere.
| z. G.. Simmons-I think the road
should be kept off Main street. My
route for it would be to come down
through Caledonia street and straight
through the Allen tan yard and Ash
land avenue.
Rouse Simmons-Main street. Right
down through Main street
Peter Fisher-I haven't thought of
the matter enough to know anything
about it.
F. 81. Lyman think Main street
should be reserved for future local
line. If the majority of the people of
Ashland avenue are willing tho line
should go through their street alright,
put it there. If they are not keep it
away from there.
One man who would not allow the
use of his nane-I tell you the council
should be awful careful about that line.
l haven't any route to name, but be-
lieve whatever street is used the ma
iority of the owners of property on that
street should give consent.
w. D. Bailey-Main street.
Harry Skinkle-I don't want any
road at all, but if it has got to come
put it on Main street.
George V. Redeker-Put it out west
of the railroad if we must have it.
Ames & Angier--We don't want the
road unless we can have local serv-
ice. In that case we want it on Main
street. Otherwise put it on Exchange
street.
George Hale-I don't care where
they put it if they will only keep off of
Main street and Park avenue. | would
like to see it put forty feet in the air.

Excruciatingly Comic Comment.

A Kenosha paper says: 'Unprotected
females trembled in their beds Thurs
day evening for fear of burglars. " Why
Thursday evening? If We were an I'M
protected female living in Kenosha, we
would tremble every evening, and still
have trembles to spare for some other
evening. Waukegan Patriot.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1897-02-25
Intended for a Joke.

Kenosha still refuses to give the cleo
trio line franchise. If someone wanted
franchise to establish a nice quiet
graveyard there every alderman of the
sleepy little place would wake up long
enough to yell aye good and hard. If
Kenosha is built that way why try to
stir her up with modern improvements.
Lake County Patriot.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1897-02-25
Intensely Funny.

a man up in Kenosha died this
week at the age of 81. That shows
how nice it is to live IN nice quiet
little town, free from the noise made by
electric cars and the hustle engendered
by modern conveniences. Waukegan

GIudness Comes

With a better understanding OF the
w transient nature Of the many phys
zeal ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi--
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, thatyou have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only. and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then Taxa
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most sllillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Indeed, the Republicans who have stood by

SETH Low MEANS HIGH TAXES.
An Mayor or Brooklyn He Increased the Tax
Rato OF Cents In -Four Wears.

Al Mayor OF Brooklyn Ho Increased the Tax
Hate OF Cents In -Four Years.
Up to tho time that Seth Low was elected
Mayor of tho city Of Brooklyn the largest
amount ever required to run the city govern
ment was SO, LOG, 573. The tax rate at the time
was $2.3s on 500. The assessed valuation of
the property Of the city was $255, 265. Gas.
Seth Low, when he was running for Mayor,
told the people that they were being robbed.
He told them that their property was over
valued for taxing purposes. He told them that
the tax rate was too high and that the city gov
eminent cost too much. He promised them, IL
he was elected, reduced taxes, reduced valua-
tons, reduced expenses, and tremendous i'm
p~rovements.
In tho year 1882, the first year that he was
Mayor, the tax rate was 81. 80 on 800. He sue
ceedcd In making this reduction Of 5 cents on
800 by increasing the assessed valuation Of
property sos. 00O, 900. While the tax rate was
8 cents lower, the people had to pay $3Ss,oOo
more for the city government, and they had not
one solitary improvement worthy of the name.
After he had been Mayor of Brooklyn two years
the tax rate was increased 81 cents on 500, to
$3.50 on 500. In addition to this increased tax
rate Seth Low raised the assessed valuation of
property SIS. 2OO, 900. The people Of Brooklyn,
after two years of Seth Lows business methods,
had to pay 81. 900. 600 more to support their gov
ernment than they had to pay before he was
Mayor.
At the end OF three years the tax ratio of tho
city was increased 3 cents more. q total increase
of 40 cents on 800. and the assessed valuation
of property was doomed up $4,000 900 more.
The people had to pay in that year over
81, 2OO,O 900 more than they had to pay before
Seth Low introduced his kind Of business meth
DDS into the City Hall.
At the end Of tho fourth and last year Seth
Low added to the burden Of the taxpayers 81
cents more on each 800, a total increase of 81
cents on every 500 Of valuation. and the as
sessed valuation went kitinR $l3,OO0.OoO more.
1t cost the people OF Brooklyn the last year Seth
Low was Mayor $3,474, ol3 more to run the city
than it did before he was Mayor.
Four years of Seth Lows business administra-
tion sent the tax rate up 81 cents on 300, sent
the valuations up nearly 800, 600, 900. and sent
the cost OF running tho city up moro than
$4,000, 600.
