A WILD CAT IN TOWN.
Two Boys Are Sure They Saw Something
Like One on the North Side.

Two boys living just across the rail
road track on Middle street saw what
they took to be a wild cat Sunday
afternoon. and were considerably
frightened. They were playing just
back of the house on the edge of a
ravine where the tangled state of the
vegetation gives things wild appear
ance, when their attention was at
tracted by a rustling in the bushes on
the opposite side. On looking up they
saw an animal making it's way stealth
lily to where the branches Of a fallen
tree crossed the ravine. According to
the boys the beast was strange one,
about the size OF dog, but like moth
ing they had ever seen before.
Frightened at his strange actions the
boys all took flight, and when they
finally returned accompanied by man
with a gun, the thing had disappeared,
only leaving his tracks in the dirt to
corroborate the story.

NEARLY DROWNED IN BAYOU
Howard Davis Falls in and Goes to the

Howard Davis Falls in and Goes to the
Bottom Twice Before Rescued.
Howard Davis, while working on the
Washington Island bridge, lost his
footing and fell into the river. He
went to the bottom where he remained
for some time, causing considerable ap-
prehensiOn on the part of his friends
who were at the place. Finally he
came to the surface with every evidence
of distress depicted on his face. He
looked about, but didn't seem to be
able to comprehend the nature of his
situation. BY the time his friends had
discovered him and secured means Of
assistance Mr.. Davis went down again.
The matter began to assume serious
aspect. The boys on the bridge re-
doubled their efforts and when Howard
appeared a second time they were on
hand to help. When everything was
prepared for pulling him out the real
tug of war began, for Mr.. Davis is in
clined to be avordupos and to raise
him out of the water required consid-
cradle strength. He was finally land
ed, however, perfectly safe, but we'll
soaked and with a little TOO much
h 0 on his lungs to be entirely COM
Portable.

BEER STOLEN AND RETURNED.
A Party on Pleasure Bent Gets It's Pleas
ure Bent.

Last Saturday evening couple of
north side gentlemen thought they
would celebrate the occasion of pay day
with sociable drink. Accordingly
they betook themselves to neighbor-
ing dispensary of Intoxicating liquors,
purchased an eighth of beer and sought
a remote and secluded spot where free
from the critical eyes of the public they
could quaff to their hearts content.
Their plans were beautiful as far as
they went, out they had failed to
reckon with their host. The crew of q
certain barge lying in the harbor, like
SO many Rips, espied the convivial
bikers staggering under the load of
good spirits and determined upon
plumber They fell upon the unwary
ones, relieved them of their beer and
took it away to the hold of the boat,
where they at once set about to con-
sumo it. In the meantime their
wrathy victims had fastened TO the
chief of police and returned with an
officer in tow. They boarded the boat
and after considerable alteration sac
ceeded in regaining the lost beverage.

A RACINE MAN HURT.
He Is Thrown From a Buggy and is Ser
1ously Injured.

A Racine gentleman whose name
cannot be learned was driving from
this city to Racine Sunday and had
stopped at the roadside a moment to
pick some fruit from the oYerhanging
branches OF cherry tree when the
horse suddenly started up throwing
him upon his head over the top Of the
carriage. He lay unconcious where he
had fallen for some time when he was
found and cared for. He opened his
eyes and seemed to know what was
going on about him though he could
neither speak or move his limbs. The
accident happened at the farm of Grove
Stetson, but in order to take the man
home comfortably it was necessary to
send for a wagon which was finally
found at Nicholas Thomas. A bed
was made in the box of the wagon and
bolstered upon this the injured man
was carried to his home in the Belle
CITY.

A LIVELY RUNAWAY.
LIT Plays Some Havoc, But Gets Out With
Remarkably Small Damage.

Two men and two women, both
driving a horse, opened race on Main
street at late hour Saturday night
which took the form of a hippodrOme
and nearly resulted seriously to the
men When they reached the corner of
Wisconsin and Main streets, their
horses on the dead jump, the men tried
to make the turn to the west on Wis
consin street. The horse plunged to-
ward Mrs Grosvenor's windows and it
looked to all spectators as though the
stock in Mrs Grosvenor's store wasn't
worth cent. BY most miraculous
accident they lodged the front of the
store, striking it broadside and taking
off considerable paint and part of a
clapboard. A tin which stood just in
front of there also got out of the way in
some mysterious manner and the horse
and its drivers arrived safely at Frenzs
barn. The carriage was not even
scratched.

Stole Silver.

Some tramps called at Frank Whites
house on Park avenue Saturday and
asked for something to eat, saying they
had had nothing to eat for two days.
Mrs. White, who is a cripple, kindly
gave them something and asked them
to sit down to the table while they
were eating. They did so, and when
they had eaten all they could they took
their departure. Shortly afterwards
Mrs. White discovered that the silver
spoons which they had used were miss
ing, and a thorough search failed to
reveal them. The spoons had un-
doubtedly departed with the tramps.
It is such ingratitude as this that
makes people dislike and distrust all

=" Around the Stove" It is bright,
piece of work written by Mr.. Conary,
to be used expressly in the place of
lecture. in lyceum entertainments. The
plot is simple and deals with simple

the author worked as clerk in q

and thereby earned money to defray
his expenses at school. The charac-

certain extent reproductions of the
loaferS who came into this store on
winter evenings to talk and exchange
yarns around the stove. Each person
tells story, and the aim of the author
is to portray the character Of each man
when telling his story, make each
yarn fit the capacity of the one who
tells it. In this way we have an en-

FARMERS ARE HARVESTING.
How the Crops of the County Look at This
Season OF the Year.

Kenosha county farmers are just now
engrossed in harvesting one of the best
crops of small grain that they have had
for number of years. Harvesting
machines are running everywhere and
here and there are entire fields of grain
in the shock, the cutting of which was
commenced only this last week. Fri
day was the starting day for hundreds
of farmers in this county and this drive
through the country Saturday revealed
dozens of fields of barley on which only
three or four rounds" had been cut.
Other fields were we'll nigh finished,
ard all hands were shocking" In
one instance during the afternoon a
threshing machine was noticed at
work.
Some farmers are cutting oats for
hay, but harvest of oats for the seed
has not vet been commenced. Very
little wheat is being cut as yet. 1t is
claimed that the barley crop is A No. |
and that there will be a very large
WELD. Fields of corn that have been
we'll tended are now being :" laid by. "
The corn is in most instances as high
as a horses back and it is all that can
be done to get through it the last time.
In some places in this county the corn
is tasseling.

the very brutal manner in which q GER
tain horseman whose home is on Eagle

Monday evening. He had the animal
hitched to a contrivance fashioned after
the pattern of the machinery of the ia
QUESTION and calculated to cause him
distress the moment he swerved from &
straight and narrow course. To this
implement of torture he added the cat
gut which he swung with great
strength and rapidity. The little borse
that had to take all this cruel treat

balky, but was far too old to be laughs
His driver, however, took evideu1
pleasure in beating the poor brute ana
according to the report of several eye

Tho First Woman to Desert Regular

It would not cause any extraordinary
surprise II the announcement were made
tomorrow that Adelina Patti or Jean de
Reszke or Henry Irving "had kindly con.
sented" to appear in Mr. Keith's continu-
GUS performance houses. He and other
managers of his kind seem to be able to

to make the plunge into new element,

whether 1t works any real injury to his or

Now that this craze Is upon the country
In all It's virulence It is interesting to
know who Is responsible for It, or, at any
rate, was the first to make the experiment.
Francesca Redding claims that distinc-
ton, though IL is almost certain that her
assertion that she was the pioneer will be
disputed. She seems, however, to have
some basis for hor allegation, and the evo-
luton Of this really talented woman to the
vaudevilles Is Of sufficient interest of itself
to merit comment
Miss Redding Is the daughter Of an Off
Ger In the United States army. She was
born in Boston, and, according to her BIZ
ograpber, she made her professional debut
at the age Of l6 at Asbury Park, N. j.,
appearing as the King In "The Queens
Lace Handkerchief" In the McCaull Opera
company. She continued for three seasons
with Colonel MoCaull, playing boys parts
in an extensive repertory of operas. She
next appeared for one season in bur-
lesque stock company at the Avenue thea

mond was principal boy, Miss Redding
singing the soprano roles. She then made
her dramatic entree, appearing for one
season with Marie Prescott, playing i'm
portant roles in repertcry of legitimate
and romantic plays. She returned to bur-
lesque for the next two seasons, singing
the soprano leads with the Kimball Opera
company, supporting Corinne. She then
