WILL QUIT THE BUSINESS.

Saloon Men Say There is No Money
in the Business.
From all indications there is strong
probability that new method of re-
form has been discovered that will do
more towards closing the saloons than
all the work of the city governments,
and that is the war tax placed upon
the amber fluid. AS result it is said
that over a dozen of the local saloon
men will not open their doors when
their license expires next week.
Charley Parker led the way when he
closed his place Thursday evening for
an indefinite time.
The dealers were seen this morning
and said that there was no money in
business as things stood at present
The tax which has recently been placed
upon beer all falls upon the retailer
and as a sesult he is charged an ad-
vance of ST. barrel. The saloon men
also claim that the brewers and their
agents are making much larger profits
at present than they did before the war
Tariff bill was passed.
Among the saloon keepers who have
refused to take out license for another
year are P. Carr, Nielsen & Schulien,
CHARLES Parker, M. Zievers, A. Roders,
julius Pabst, T. j. Meyers, Peter
Boyer and N. Federspeil.
Of course this does not necessarily
mean that all these places will be
closed, as some of them have already
been transferred to other parties, but
there is no doubt but that the number
of saloons in this city will be consider
ably decreased.

The attractiveness of KenOsha as a
summer resort is becoming more widely
known every year, as is evidenced by
the increasing crowds of summer home
seekers, and the number who spend
short vacations in this city. The gov
eminent reports show that the west
shore of Lake Michigan is the most
healthtul place in the country, and
there are not five days during the
whole summer when one cannot feel
the cool breeze by going to the lake
shore.
There is only one thing that Kenosha
wants and that is large lake shore
park. The little park at the south end
of the lake shore, known as Calkins'
park is very fine and Aid. Calkins has
added greatly to it's use as a pleasure
resort by allowing the public use of his
piers and now if the present admins
tration could only improve the remand
er of the lake shore it would make a
lasting monument to them.
We would like very much to see a
Petit park" extending along the
lake shore, from Calkins' park to the
power house; it would cost the city
very little, as most of the amount
could he raised by private subscriptions.
Some two years ago the plan was talked
of and about $4,000 was raised by
private subscriptions in day and a
half. The benefit to the city and citiz
ems of such a park would be incalcu-
liable. Let us have an extended lake
shore park.

che key note of Republicanism when
1t says
We believe that the Republican
party represents the Wisest and best
element of Wisconsin citizenship. We
believe it's steadfast purpose is to give
to the people honest and economical
government. We believe it's member
ship is mainly made up of honest men,
without personal ambitions or selfish
purposes. We believe this great body
of the party should take active man
agement of it's affairs, ignoring personal
controversies and defeating the machin-
ations of self seekers. We believe there
should be no machine and no anti
machine machine within the ranks OF
the party. We do not believe Mr.. La
Toilette should be recognized as the
accepted apostle of reform, nor that
Payne and Pfster and their friends
should be accorded undisputed leader
ship. We would give credit to every
individual and faction for the merit
they possess, rebuke them for the mis-
takes they make, and the political
crimes they commit"

A PRETTY WEDDING.
John D. Houston and Miss Alice G.. Quigley
are Married at st. James Church.


At st. James church this morning
the wedding of John Dix Houston and
Miss Alice Grace Quigley was cele-
brated. The wedding was a very
elaborate one and a large number OF
relatives were in attendance.
The bridal party entered the church
at 9 o'clock, the wedding march being
played by Mrs. ". S. McDermott. The
bride entered on the arm Of her cousin,
Peter Quigley, and was met by the
groom before the altar. The bride was
attended by her sister, Miss Sarah
Quigley, and her cousin, Miss Alice
Marie Quigley, and the brides two
cousins, Peter and Thomas Quigley
acted as best men. While the bridal
party KIN 7eled before the altar and took
the matrimonial VOWS, the organ pealed
out the sweet strains of De Koven's
O Promise Me-" The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Father Roche, and
attended as it was with the sweet odor
of flowers and beautiful music, it was
exceedingly impressive.
The bride and her twin sister, who
acted as maid of honor, were attired
in beautiful creations of pale lavender
silk, with elaborate lace trimmings.
Both carried Marschal Neil roses.
Messrs. Quigley and Madden acted as
ushers.
The newly married couple repaired
to their new home on Rowland avenue
Immediately after the ceremony, where
a large reception will be given this
evening.
The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Houston wish them long and happy
life.

THE report that the government
would protest against allowing the
Spanish fleet to pass through the Suez
Canal was absurd. This government
is only too anxious to have the Spanish
get within reach of Dewey. That
would settle the war as far as the
Spanish navy is concerned. AS the
squadron is already in the Red Sea
there is not much doubt but that they
pre- headed for Manila, and as they are
still some thousands ofmiles from their
destination it will take some time yet
to end the war.
