THE ALLEN PARTY.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nathan Allen Entertain
Their Friends at Dancing.

4uS4I EI1GuQS at Dancing.
The dancing party given by Mr.. and
Mrs. Nathan Allen Tuesday evening,
was the most brilliant and enjoyable
affair that Kenosha society has enjoyed
in very long time. The rooms were
beautifully decorated in marguerites,
there being a prOfusion of them every
where. We cannot say enough for the
music, which was perfect. as only
Fitzgerald's can be. Never were such
waltzes played, and never such two
steps; while the music during inter-
mission was perfection itself. The
dancing hall presented a very beauti-
full sight with the different pretty
colored gowns. and prettier young
ladies. That Kenosha rightly deserves
the name of having many pretty maid
ems could not be doubted if one were to
have glanced in at any time during the
evening, for in spite of the heat no one
was able to resist the strains Of such
music.
Refreshments were served about II
O'Clock in the dining rooms, and here
again was huge bunch of marguerites
on the table. That the guests thor
oughly enjoyed the dainty lettuce
sandwiches, chocolate, coffee, and ice
cream and cake that followed, is hardly
necessary to add.
Dancing was continued until 2:3O a.
M, and even then the guests were
loathe to go, wishing it were only the
beginning instead of the end to quite
the incest dance OF this season.
Among those present were
Messrs. and Mesdames G. E. Remer,
G. C. Brown, E. G. Theirs, n. A. Rowe,

A NEW SUMMER RESORT.
One in Prospect for Jacobs Island Pro-
posed by Milwaukeeans.

1t is reported on very reliable au-
thoritY that a great movement is on
foot and that arrangements are all but
completed for making a summer resort
out of Jacobs island. Five Milwaukee
gentlemen have taken the thing in
hand and there is every likelihood that
before many weeks have passed the
property will change hands and opera
tions will be begun at once on the
grounds. All of the gentlemen repre-
senting the capital interested in the
project have visited the place and ex-
pressed their satisfaction with the
selection and all connected with the
grounds. The plan Of the company is
to make of the island an ideal summer
resort A large hotel will be built on
the grounds, which VIII be made over
into an attractive park. The place
will be to Kenosha what Whitefsh bay
is to Milwaukee-an attractive resort
where the citizens of Kenosha and sur
rounding towns may spend their leisure
summer afternoons on the lake, at the
games and in the shade Of the trees.
Some docking will be done in order
that the pleasure boats which will be
continually at the pleasure of guests,
may be easily reached. A doctor will
be kept at the place ready to give his
services to all who may desire them.
If the place is of the right character,
which we Judge it will be from the fact
that Mr. Jacobs sells the property, it
will be a splendid addition to the at
Effectiveness of our city. Such a thing
has been in demand for some years. 1t
was reported today that the agree
ments had all been satisfactorily settled
and that the Milwaukee gentlemen
we're in possession. This is denied
however, by Mr.. Jacobs, who states
that while they have all expressed their
satisfaction with the terms the bargain
has not as yet been closed. 1t is to be
hoped that a first class summer resort
will be the result of the deal. It would
be a success if properly handled.

THAT LINE OF BOATS.
The Gentlemen who Went to Milwaukee
Report Some Progress.

Report Some Progress.
The delegation consisting of II. S.
Van Ingen, Johnson Jackson, Elmer
Week and B. F. Windsor, who went
from here to Milwaukee Tuesday to
confer with the owners of the Hurs0n
boat line on the feasibility of their run
ming a freight and express line into Xe-
nosha, have returned and report pro-
gress. They met and discussed the
matter with Mr.. Hurson, but met with
little satisfaction owing to the
fact, as Hurson said, that they could not
spare the boats for the purpose,
The gentlemen succeeded however, in
awakening a good deal of interest in
the scheme and received from Mr..
Hurson his word that if be himself
could not see his way clear to do the
work he would use his influence with
other beat lines.
Today Charles Sieg went to Mr..
Goodrich, of the Goodrich line and
presented the plan to him and also
made the date for a conference of the
above committee with Mr.. Goodrich.
The gentlemen will probably go to
Chicago in the interests of the new
boat line at the earliest possible date
although the time set by Mr. Sieg
and the representatives of the Good
rich line is not yet known. On the
whole the prospects seem quite bright
for the proposed line of boats. If
Hurson cannot make the run it is the
opinion of the Kenosha delegation
that it is not unlikely that the Good
rich line will make the city.

JOE WAS HYPNoTIzEp.
santaneIli has Lot of Fun with the opera
House Manager.


Joseph Rhode was put through a
course of sprouts at the Grant house
Sunday evening. Santanelli was try
ing his power. A small number Of
witnesses were present to testify to the
professors right to the universal repu-
tation he has won. About 10 o'clock
operations begun. Joe was put to
sleep after the usual method and in
formed that he could not wake up
until the word from the operator. He
was then told that his right ear was
burning badly, and could not be
stopped except by the use Of his right
hand. Thereupon Joseph's face began
to witch with the annoyance arising
from the irritating auracular and his
right hand went at the ear in a most
violent manner. This was no sooner
disposed of than swarm of flies began
to poster his nose. Joe went at this
also, in an unusually vigorous manner.
Finally the flies, too, disappeared At
this juncture the professor informed
his subject that he was at a gathering
of gentleman, that they had all either
spoken or sung and that it was then
his turn to contribute. He was asked
for a piano solo. Joe replied,
Well l haven't anything new,
you know, only something old,
you know. that you all know, you
know" but mounted the piano stool
just the same and began his perform
ance. He had scarcely struck a note
when his attention was called to the
fact that his little finger was stiff.
After that all of his fingers became
rigid, one after another. This was
rather humiliating to Joe, and he
thought he had better quit. Just then
his refractory digits became timber.
But Joseph had concluded to give up
the job, so he started to leave the
piano stool. This, however, he could
not do. He made several attempts to
rise but failed in all. He was in COM
