VOLUME LVIII. NUMBER 10

The proposition, of which mention
has been heretofore made, from the
North Western railroad company, of
fering to put gravel enough on West
Main and Pearl streets to macadamize
them provided the city would establish
by ordinance the present grade of the
railroad as the permanent grade. The
matter did not strike the council very
| favorably and was referred to the city
attorney for an opinion.
City Engineer Davidson was in
structed to have Prairie avenue paved
to the tracks of the railroad on both
sides.
The Palmgreen fence on Pomeroy
street was reported to be standing two
or three feet out in the street. The
street supervisor was instructed to tear
it down.
Aid. Weyhe presented bill to the
council which he said he Gid not like
1t was for a revolver which was
charged up at $14. He could not con
ceive what the police department
wanted of revolver which would cost
$14. He said he proposed to investi-
gate the matter.
The committee on sewers reported
favorably on putting a sewer on Durkee
avenue, and referred the asked for
sewer in Grant street to the committee
of the whole. On recommendation of
the committee the Exchange street
sewer was accepted.
Aid. Gonnermann asked that the
finance committee be instructed to
bring in report giving the exact
standing of all the funds in the hands
Of the city.
Aid. Weyhe then announced that
there was street running through be-
tween the Cook and French estates on
Prairie avenue which was vacated in
1889 and for which the paving assess
ments had been charged up. The
street has been enclosed and divided
equally between the two estates with
out authority of law, and the parties
who have the ground wanted to know
if they could keep the ground if they
paid these paving assessments. The
matter was referred to the city attor-
ney and city engineer.
Bids for macadamizing Deming
street we're then opened. They we're
as follows: James Cape & Sons, GO
cents per square foot for macadam and
SO cents per lineal foot for concrete
curling; Harding & Nielsen, II cents
for macadam and 81 cents for curbing.
The prices for CURLING we're considered
altogether too high and the matter was
referred to the committee on streets,
alleys and bridges.
Then the council adjourned.

THE sANITARIUM PARTY.
A Large crowd Enjoy a verv Pleasant
Evening

DR.. and Mrs. Pennoyer and Miss
Alice Pennoyer entertained Saturday
evening at one of the largest and most
pleasant dancing parties of the season.
The party was given in honor oil
Madam Pennoyer's birthday and Mr..
and Mrs. Milton Pennoyer, of Chicago,
who have just returned from an ex-
tended western trip.
The whole lower story of the house
was decorated with flowers and ferns.
In the parlor were white roses and
lilies, but the most striking feature in
the floral decorations was large
bunch of roses, American beauties,
which formed a center piece in the
dining room, seventy-six in number,
presented to Madam Pennoyer in honor
of her 10Th birthday.
The spacious dining rooms were
thrown open and made an ideal ball
room while the broad piazzas were in
demand as promenades at intermis-
sions. Church's orchestra, of Chicago,
furnished the music and kept the
dancers tripping" until u o'clock.
During the evening Master Scott
Nortrupp, of Chicago, favored the
guests with number of vocal selec-
lions which were thoroughly enjoyed.
It will be rememb ered that the young
gentleman sang at an entertainment
at the Sanitarium last winter. He
charmed his hearers at that time and
his voice has much improved since
then.
About 10 o'clock a large cake with
seventy six lighted tapers was brought
In as surprise to Madam Pennoyer.
The cake was cut and passed among
the guests. One piece contained a
ring denoting early marriage and was
secured by Miss Belle Stebbins, while
another piece containing thimble de-
noting an old maids life was carried
away by Mrs. Pulsifer, Of Chicago.
Delicious refreshments were served
in the small dining room and raspberry
frappe was dispensed in several cosy
corners. Fully $50 guests of all ages
were entertained in a most charming
manner. Those from KenOsha were
invited by families. making it very
pleasant and home like.

THE REUNION IN CHICAGO.
The Boys Fight over Their Old Campaigns
Again.

The boys who belonged to compan-

infantry, and who went to Chicago
Sunday to the reunion held at the resi-
dence of Col. T. G.. Kearnes, cannot
say too much in praise of the royal way
in which they we're entertained.
They were met at the depot with
carriages at $50 and were driven
through Lincoln park, Washington
park and the most beautiful streets
and drives in the city until 1:30 p. M,
when they arrived at his residence on
Wabash avenue, where lunch had
been prepared-not such as Uncle Sam
used to serve in 81 to '65-but one to
satisfy a king. The incidents Of the
battles, campaigns, ETC., were then
talked over and the following poem was
read by Comrade Chas. Smith from
Racine, to the boys of the SD by Com

MICHAEL KoPAwsKI DROWNED
While Intoxicated and IN Swimming He
Goes Down to Death.

Goes Down to Death
Michael Kopawski, IA laborer who has
been employed on the paving job on
Prairie avenue went to his death i'll
the Engel pond Sunday afternoon. 1t
lis understood that he had been on a
three days drunk and wound up by
going with a couple of companions to
the Engel brick yard for bath.
After the party had disrobed and got
into the water, Kopawski noticed that
one of the men die not swim and he
began to rail at him and made MANY
remarks about his being good swim
mer himself. Then he started out
into deep water and made dive. He
came up in few moments and threw
his arms up out of the water, flourish
ing them about in wild manner an
instant and then sank from sight.
The boys on shore thought he was
what he pretended to be, good
swimmer, and sat on the bank and
threw mud at the point where he went
down, expecting him to come up again
and they intended to playfully pelt
him. But he did not come up, and
soon they became frightened and made
up their minds that he must have
drowned. John Dorsey and young
Harwood FASTENED to the spot, dove
and brought him up.
The authorities were notified and
Justice Slater impaneled a jury OF
inquest. The remains were removed
to Krickbaum's morgue. Kopawski
came from Milwaukee. Relatives were
notified and they ordered hin to be
buried here. He was about twenty
five years of age.

UNTEERS

The meetings are few of the boys in blue.
Their locks are getting gray,
Their numbers less at each recall
OF the fast succeeding days.
In times that are passed, in days that are gone
In camp and on fields that are green;
We shouldered the musket at dutys call,
And drank from the same canteen.
But of the boys that were there, the comrades
now,
To meet at the bugle's CALL
I see only Tom, and Jules and jim
A few of the boys-that's all.
There's comrade Hale, there's Charlie Smith,
Yet others a few ween
But still, most of the boys are gone

We love to think of our comrade boys,

There's our old friend Nichols, on duty STILL
His locks are getting gray,

But his heart is as full of fellowship,

AS nearly as the case can be got at
here it is understood that at the time
Mr.. Culley purchased the plant of the
old Kenosha Leader from the firm Of
Rudolph q Boissard, some seven OF
eight years ago. Mr.. Rudolph was not
paid for his share and claims not to
have been paid since. He has tried a
number of times TO collect pay for his
interest, but without success. Mr..
Rudolph at last took the step as stated
above for the purpose of satisfying his
claim. 1t is understood that he wants
aIkinterest in the plant of the Gazette
as lit now stands or else some security
for his claim. Just why Judge Fish
shoald have denied the motion for a
'receivership is not known here as yet.
It is understood that Mr.. Rudolph
will take other and further steps,
though just what is not known.
Strong efforts have been made on
both sides to keep the matter from
the public, and the facts would prob
ably not have got out here had it not
been for our ever vigilant Racine re-
porter who got the tip and sent the
above dispatch.
The action of Mr. Rudolph came as
a complete surprise to Mr.. Culley. The
papers we're served on him at about
$50 o'clock Saturday night, which was
the first intimation he had that there
was trouble coming. OF course the
denial of the receivership is only one
step. 1t does not settle the matter be-
tween the two litigants. They will
have to either settle the matter be-
tween themselves or the case will have
to be tried at the September term OF
the circuit court.
Just before press time it was learned
that the reason Judge Fish denied the
motion for a receiver was that he did
not think the facts presented for which
a receivershlp was asked were sufficient
to base such action upon; and that Ru-
dolph claims that he had been in part
nership with Mr.. Culley for a year and
that when they separated there was
no diVision of their interests and has
been none since and that he simply
wants the court to establish his inter
est in the plant of The Gazette.

that neither root nor flower has any

abroad in the land who claim that to

lesson of obedience to the laws of good is
everywhere the most inexorabe of
natures teachings. The plants, obeying

In following the good. Higher in the
