IDEAL PARK DOOMED.
The wylie Bill Is sure to Pass the State
Senate.

Madison, Wis, March 31-The Wylie
bill will become law just as quickly
as the fact can be accomplished in the
regular order of business in the senate.
The takers for the lobby admitted
last night that they were whipped, and
that no amendment to the bill to pro-
hibit pool selling on horse races is
within the scope of possible legislative
achievement this year.
Aroused public sentiment has settled
whatever of doubt there may have been
in the controversy. The score or more
of petitions which have come in this
week against the bill have so plainly
exhibited the system and trademark of
the lobby that if they have had any
perceptible influence on senators it has
been to confirm the belief OF the
friends of the bill that there is no le-
Ultimate opposition, excepting as it
has been stimulated by the selfish IN
terests of the track gamblers and the
people who incidentally derive revenue
from the business OF. patronage of the
race followers.
The senate committee on state af-
fairs reported the bill back to the SEN
ate last night, with the unanimous
recommendation that it be concurred
in. It will be ordered to a third read
ing today and final action upon it will
be reached Thursday morning at the
latest An advocate of the measure in
the senate has canvassed that body and
declares that at least twenty of the
senators are tor the bill, and against
any amendment whatever.
Senators whose relations with the
lobby are such as to warrant a sus-
picion that they might be favorable to
delay or amendment, are quoted as
saying that there will be no attempt to
amend, and that if there is q roll call
not more than two or three votes will
be recorded against the bill,

COL. SMITHS LECTURE.
He was Met by Big Crowd and Talked
Very Eloquently

A full house met Col. Nicholas Smith
at the Rhode opera house Tuesday
evening to hear his lecture on the
:. Wonderful Story of the Songs of
Patriotism Almost every seat was
occupied and Col. Smith rose to the
occasion by delivering as fine a lecture
as has been heard in Kenosha in many
a day.
He showed by reference to great
scenes in history that the national
songs and songs which swayed the
popular emotions Of a people led them
through blood and fire to victory on a
great many of the battlefields of the
world. The colonel showed that he
had not only a thorough historical
knowledge of the origin. but much of
the history of all the great war songs of
the world. His reference to the manner
in which many of the So called national
songs of America were born and in
spired the men of the Union army to
peeds of valor and renoWn was in many
instances not only eloquent, but touch
ingly pathetic. There was inspiration
in every word the colonel uttered.
In the middle Of the lecture and after
peroration of great feryor on the
g Star Spangled Banner the lecturer
took seat and Miss Lily Runals
stepped forward and sang the song as
a solo and was supported in the chorus
by large mixed choir The effect
was very pleasing and called forth ire
mendous applause, to which Miss
Runals responded by reciting the stir
ring words, " Three Cheers for the Red,
White ana Blue. singing the chorus.
This also was heartily applau led
Immediately following the lecture the
Amphion Male quartette rendered
Camping Tonight on the Old Camp
Ground. 1t was neatly rendered and
called forth tremendous applause, but
the Quartette failed to respond with an
encore.
The last number on the program was
flag drill by twenty four small girls,
each dressed in white and each carry
ing q small tag. The drill was one OF
the prettiest and most neatly executed
pieces of work ever seen here OH a
stage in Kenosha. The little girls
marched as steadily as veteran soldiers
and went through all their evolutions
with the greatest of good taste and
grace The work was exceedingly well
executed and brought out tumultuous
applause from the audience. Miss
Northway, who drilled the little girls,
is worthy of special praise for her part
in the program.
I The audience joined with the choir
in singing two verses of . America,
and the evenings entertainment came
to an end.

SLEPT FOR TWO MONTHS.
watertown Girl Afflicted by a Strange
Malady


A case surprising in strangeness that
of the Pleasant Prairie girl who could
not be awakened, is that of Miss Rose
Joda, of WATERFOWL, who has been
asleep the past eight weeks. A ply
stefan attending her says the condition
is caused by pressure on the brain,
She has recently recovered from an
attack of pneumonia when stricken
with this strange malady. For the
past few weeks heroic measures have
had to be taken to awaken her suffi-
GENTLY to give her food.
Lately, however, the task of awaken
ing her has been easier, but she still
slumbers on. 1t is said that when
awakened she can tell the day of the
week, although she has no perceptible
way of finding it out. While in her
somnolent condition needles and. pins
can be forced through the flesh without
the patient showing any discontinue.
A like case was handled by Water
town physicians last year, when the
patient slept almost continuously for
six weeks, and when finally the malady
left her, she thought she had but
awakened from nights rest.

How the Theatre High Hat Bill Was Killed
in the Legislature.

How the Theatre High Hat Bill Was Killed
in the Legislature.
Wisconsin has an official poet or a
poet official, put it either way to suit
the taste. He is member Of the
committee on state affairs to which
had been referred the bill known as
the Risum anti-theatre high-hat bill.
Tuesday he sent in the following report
on the bill:
We think it pity,
That We your committee,
And one of importance at that
Are asked without reason
BY this Mr.. Risum,
To consider this Tale OF a hat.
We're expected to wrangle,
And get in a tangle.
When woman we vow is SO nice,
That we will stand by her,
Though she builds her hat higher:
All we ask to be low is the price.
High hats we're not defending.
But in shows we've been attending,
Where the songs and dances seemed TO us com
plete,
The hats were then behind us.
For the only place you'd find US,
Was down in the front row OF seats.
Our women are so WinSome
Very few are not handsome
And it's remarked OF them that
In fair or foul weather,
When at theatres they gather
It's only the homely wear hats
So this is our verdict:
We believe woman perfect.
And she in our hearts is enthrOned.
She needs no legislation,
And it's our recommendation
That the hat bill be forever postponed.

ATTORNEY wEIsMANE MISSING
Has Disappeared From Union Grove and

Where is Henry Weismann, the we'll

has disappeared and no trace of him
can be found. Mr.. Wiesmann left
Union Grove last week Tuesday and
was to have been here in Kenosha
Friday to try case, but failed to show
up. His brother has searched both
here, at Racine and other places and
can find no trace Of him. Inquiry
about this city failed to reveal any one
who has seen the attorney for a couple
of weeks. Considerable anxiety is
prevalent at Union Grove where the
attorney is so we'll known and has re-
sided so many years Usually Mr..
Weismann is never away from his
home over twenty four hours. He was
well known to all our attorneys and to
many other Of our citizens. He was
mainly Noticeable for the fact that
whenever he appeared here he was al
ways dressed like Catholic clergyman
and never failed to carry a small grip
with him wherever he went.

From Michigan to Aakansas.

While the people of Western Arkan- kansas are enjoying the warm sun shine or resting in the shade of the hickory, oak, gum, walnut and other trees in full leaf, and looking forward to the gathering of bountiful crops of apples, peaches, pears, plums, cherries etc, now fully formed and rapidly growing to maturity, a friend writes from Reeding, Mich, under date of May ?, presenting clear cut compari- son as well as considerable sound lagic in his statements, us follows
 DEAR EDITOR: As I look out from my window while I sit here writing l notice the lawns begin to look green, but the trees and the woods beyond have the same dry, leafess appearance they have had for the last seven months with the exception of some willows which begin to show some sign of life.
 "The air is chilly and one is comfort able in an overcoat. Indeed if one was going out riding he would need that article of attire or he would sui fer with the cold. We have fine country here and our soil yields boun- tifully, our granaries are well filled, our stock are fit for the butchers block. We have plenty to eat; the Lord hath blessed us in basket and in store. We are subject to sudden changes of weather, which breeds sick ness. We are seldom free from colds or some other ailment that is worse The general opinion is gaining ground that the southern states are more healthy than the northern states, or at least they will be when the sanitary conditions are equal to the northern states l look forward fifty years to the time when the south will be She garden of the world. The same amount of labor expended there that is necessary to raise poor crop here would make that country bloom as the rose.
 Hoping that l may be counted as voter in the sunny south, remain"
 Our friend then woes the poetic muse and bids farewell to Michigan in the following lines:
 ny FUTURE HOME.
 When l can read my title clear
 To mansions in Mena,
 I'll bid farewell to blizzards here
 And laugh the live-ong day.
 I'll dress in silks and walk on stilts
 And buy "gold watch chain"
 I'll sleep no more meath ten pound quilts
 Where loss exceeds the gain
 Ozark, the precious metals hide,
 Whose base shall be my pride;
 I'll climb his rugged rocky side,
 And 'eross his rump I'll stride.
 Oh, Michigan; dear Michigan,
 bid thee now farewell
