SEPTEMBER A VERY HOT MONTH
Warmer Than tor Any Like Period Re-
corded in Weather Office.

There may have been, hotter Sep
TENDERS in Kenosha than the one that
ended at II o'clock Thursday night,
but the weather bureau doesn't know
of them officially. Not for twenty
seven years-and that span of time
marks the life of the weather bureau
has the sun shone with such fierceness
during the thirty days of the ninth
month of the year. The mean temper
allure has been SO degrees, and that is
five degrees above normal.
There have been cool days during the
month. The 21st was an instance. At
5 o'clock on the morning of that day
Jack Frost made his debut for the
season and sent the mercury down to
~. Five days the thermometer was
above the 80 mark, and on two of those
days it went to 81.
The weather folk promise the same
old thing" as starter for October. 1t
was up to IS in Kenosha Thursday, and
that is about as high as it got today.
In the northwest-up in the Dakotas
and thereabOuts-it got up to about 80.

FREIGHT CARS ARE SCARCE.
Kenosna Manufacturers Are Beginning to
Feel the Scarcity.

Kenosha manufacturers are expert
encing considerable difficulty in secur-
ing cars in which to ship their goods.
Shipments are delayed by the scarcity
of cars, and while the ear famine con-
tinues orders are pouring IN for more
goods and every factory and shop in
the city is running full force with the
possible exception of the Sterling Cycle
works. At this factory everything is
getting ready to start up in full.
The Balm Wagon company continues
to run overtime and many of the small
er concerns are putting in eleven,
twelve and thirteen hours daily. The
boom in manufacturing business and
the revival of trade come simultaneous
ly with the movement of the bigswheat
crop, and cars cannot be found to
transport the great product of factory
and farm.
A railroad man says that the car
famine extends over the entire country,
affecting all railway lines, and that in
dications are it will continue thirty
days or six weeks.
The movement of wheat and other
grain from the fields of the west and
northwest has begun, and 10000 cars
will be in continuous use for thirty days
on the railway systems of the country,
moving the product to the eastern
markets. Every available box car on
the Chicago q Northwestern road as on
other lines, has been hurried to the
grain fields, and manufacturers are left
in crippled state when desiring to
ship the output of their mills and fac
tories. Heavy orders and shipments of
furniture and toys has tied up furniture
cars, so that there is great demand
for transportation facilities.

SANFORD MAY GET TT.
Nav Be Appointed superintendent of the
Milwaukee Rescue Mission.

Rev. A. M. Sanford, pastor of the
Somers and Sylvania churches, has his
application in for the superintendency
of the Rescue mission in Milwaukee,
and the chances are very much in favor
of his getting the position.
The board of directors of the Rescue
mission Friday night fully agreed to
elect Mr.. Sanford to the place now
held by A. j. Calvert, the present
superintendent of the mission, who will
leave on Feb. for the Klondike gold
fields. E. E. Warner, however, VIII is
member of the board, had heard of
man named Sanborn who is conduct
ing Rescue mission at Scranton, Pa,
and who was strongly recommended to
him for the place made vacant in Mil
waukee by Mr.. Calyert's resignation.
Mr.. Sanborn's chief supporter is the
Rev. Mr.. Torrey of the Moody Bible
institute at Chicago. He spoke so
highly of him that the board Friday
night appointed a committee to enter
into negotiations with him with view
to securing his services. Should they
be unable to make satisfactory arrange
ments with Mr.. Sanborn, Mr.. Sanford
will be engaged, for the choice has mar
rowed down TO these two.
Mr.. Sanford is we'll known to Metho-
dist Episcopal clergymen of Milwau-
kee. The Methodist conference just
held at Marinette assigned him to
Somers and Sylvania, where he has
been laboring in the religious field for
some years. He is about As years of
age.

RECOUNTED PIONEER DAYS.
Mrs. Burr Reads An Original Article on
Early Kenosha Times.

Mrs. Burr gave tea Thursday after
noon in honor of her friend, Mrs. Hills,
who like herself came to Kenosha in
an early day when Kenosha was called
Southport. There were several other
ladies present who came about the
same time. All related some reminis-
cence of those pioneer days. Mrs. Burr
read an original piece, written on the
pleasures and deprivations of the brave
pioneers and their families, all of which
were very interesting. Then followed
music. Mrs. Burr presided at the or
gan; the other ladies sang the good old
songs, after which delicious tea was
served. All went home feeling they
had spent a pleasant afternoon and
that Mrs. Burr was charming hostess.

SCHOOL NOTES.
The Freshman Glass Leads in the Discus
sion of Current News

Tne freshman CLASS LEADS IN Ine DISCUS
sion of Current News.
The Central school was favored with
visitors Wednesday. Among them
were Mrs. Thompson, Hazel Leonard,
Olga Miller and Alice Adamson.
The opening exercises of the high
school this morning, consisted of cur
rent news items. Credit is due to the
freshman class for taking the lead.
Some of the topics discussed were,
Greater New York, new gold mines,
SiberiaR railway, Cuban question, sit
uation in Crete and the yellow fever
scourge.
We notice some additions have been
made to the school library during va
cation. There are now $50 volumes.
More shelving has been put into the
cases for the books. In 1894 there
we're but $50 volumes, which indicates
quite healthy growth.

TO APPEAR FOR CONTEMPT.
Aid. James German Must Explain His
! Action In c. W. Smith Case.

Action In G.. w. Smith Case.
The papers were drawn and submit
ted to Judge Fish today by District
Attorney Buckmaster by which Aid.
James German is cited to appear
before the judge and answer to the
charge of contempt of court. The
trouble arises from the case of the
State vs.. George Washington Smith.
While that was being tried Mr.. Buck
master drew out by Mrs. Otilla Hecker
that Mr.. German had been to her and
offered her tickeG to Chicago and a
sum of money if she would not appear
at the court on the day this case was
called. Of course, the non-appear
ance of Mrs. HeGker would have oper-
ated to dismiss the case. Mrs. Hecker
refused the offer and appeared in court
to give her testimony. AS soon as
this testimony was given Judge Fish
Immediately ordered that Mr.. German
be cited to appear before him to answer
for it. and in conformity with these
instructions Mr.. Buckmaster has acted.
The fact that " Jimmie" German
had got into such boat as that was a
matter of great surprise to all his
friends. No one would believe hardly
that he had been guilty of any INSIDE
meanor. Mr.. German explains that
he was led into committing the deed
through Misrepresentation made to
him by Mr.. Smith, and all his friends
are inclined to believe this true. Mr..
German says that Smith asked him to
make this offer to Mrs. Hecker, and he
refused to do so. Mr.. Smith insisted,
and he finally told Smith that if he
would 60 and see his attorney about it
and the attorney said it would be all
right he would do it, but not other
wise. Smith went away and came
back shortly afterward and said that
it was alright; that his attorney had
advised him that it was all right, so he
(Gorman) did it. While this explana-
ton, of course, does not excuse Mr..
German in the eyes Of the law, yet it
is firmly believed that he acted in good
faith and had no wrong intentions.
This fact will undoubtedly be taken
into consideration by the court, and
only hight fine imposed. The matter
will not come up until Judge Fish
returns from Elkhorn, where he will
hold court about month.

The Virginia and Columbus Captains
Should Not Have Been Suspended.
The action of the United States
inspectors of steamboats, in Milwaukee
in suspending Capt. Robert Smith of
the whaleback excursion steamer
Christopher Columbus and Captain Fl.
E. Shines of the Goodrich liner Vir-
ginia has been overruled. The result
is to raise some very nice questions
regarding the liability of steamboat
inspectors for erroneous decisions.
Immediately upon notice of his sus-
pension Captain Smith appealed to
Supervising Inspector John e. Galway
of Detroit. The decision of the super
vising Inspector was made public re-
Gently, overruling the action of his
subordinates. The inspectors, in sus-
pending Capt. Smith, did so without
any charges being preferred. He was
before them as complaining witness
only. The inspectors had no more
right under the rules to bring in Cap
tain Smith as guilty than would jury
in a murder case have the right to
bring the verdict of guilty against a
witness.
The inspectors action in suspending
Capt. Shines, in the face of their report
that they could not reach conclusion
owing to conflicting testimony, is also
overruled. Marine men feel a deep
interest in the outcome, as further
acUion is talked of definitely to deter
mine the scope of the authority of
steamboat inspectors throughout the
country

1t is with great pleasure we an
nounce the coming of the prince of
comedians, Alba Haywood, and his
peerless company in an entirely new
program. Mr.. Haywood Is undorbt-
edly the most versatile and artistic
comedian that tours the west. He can
tell fnnny story, sing a comic song
and impersonate eccentric characters
in way that is inimitable. While
convulsing an audience with laughter
he never bids for popularity by stoop-
ing to vulgarity or coarseness.
Throughout his work there sparkles
and CLEANS the brilliant wit and keen
insight into the funny side of life that
is the highest type of art. He is the
favorite with the ladies because he
understands the art of entertaining
without offending; the favorite of men
because his wo.k is fresh and new
and his fun contagious; the favorite of
children because he loves them all
and can make their eyes sparkle with
delight and their little mouths open
with wonder at his wonderful mimicry
and ventriloqual powers. Mr.. Hey
woods supporting artists are close
seconds in popular favor and make a
perfect background for this bright
particular star. This company will
be seen here on the evening of Sept.
oath at the Opera House.
