To Erect a New Building.

The members of Division No. l.,
A. O. Fl. of Kenosha county, has had
under consideration for some time the
project of erecting hall of their own.
Judging from the patronage they have
received from our pleasure seeking
public in the past, and knowing that
their present hall is inadequate to the
demand, they have concluded that a
new hall would not only be a benefit to
the society, but would also be public
advantage.
Therefore, in pursuance of the mat
ter under consideration, committee
has been appointed who have been
given the matter in charge, and intend
holding a fair the latter part of Oct
ober the proceeds of which will be
applied for the purpose already stated.
This committee express themselves
as being confident that with the gen
erous cooperation of our business men
and citizens at large, their efforts will
no doubt be productive of good results.
Very Resp'y,
A. O. Fl. Com. on Building.

MISS KIMBALL WINS LADY's
And c. p Hewitt Carries OFF First Honors
Among the Gentlemen After Hard

Great Crowd Present.

Labor day not only furnished holi-
day for hundreds of toilers in Kenosha,
but it furnished an occ aston for great
gathering of society on the Country
club grounds, when the annual Labor
day handicap golf tournament was
played.
From early morning until late in the
evening the Club grounds were covered
with members of the club and their
friends. Pink coats and golfng CO.'S
tunes were all the rage and the
brilIiancy of the gowns worn by the
golfers made the beautiful courses of
the links seem like the promenades of
great city, where beauty and fashion
turn out to display their bright faces
and fetching costumes.
But the main feature of the day was
the handicap tournament. The semi
finals were played on Friday and Sat
urday and every member of the club
was interested in the outcome of the
final rounds.
In the morning the ladies battled
for supremacy and Miss Bond defeated
| Mrs. Tanner, while Miss Kim ball easily
won from Miss Lance. The semi finals
amongst the gentlemen were also
played and Messrs. A. FL. Lance and
G. P. Hewitt remained to play in the
final struggle.
When the noon hour came many
little picnic parties gathered about the
grounds and had dainty dinner either
upon the broad veranda of the club
house or on the hill overlooking the
lake.
The afternoon brought a great crowd
of sight seers. Racine society turned
outin forceand a large tally no brought
down the cream of the Belle City So
ciety to watch the fnishesin the match.
! z. 6. Simmons, Jr had offered
beautiful silver cup for the lady's prize
and Nathan Allen offered a similar
trophy for the gentlemel's contest and
the exhibition of the beautiful trophies
added not little to the interest in the
events.
The ladies' tournament was soon
settled. Miss Kimball defeating her
opponent by splendid play, which has
never been exceeded by a lady on the
grounds. She won the five first holes,
defeating Miss Bond by score Of five
up, with four to play.
The gentleman's contest was much
more exciting and neither Mr.. Hewitt
or Mr.. Lance was assured of winning
until the last hole was made. Mr..
Hewitt won by score of two up.
After the handicap games had been
played a match was arranged for the
boys of the club under fifteen years of
age. Billy Yule won first, Ned Van
Ingen second and Norman Kimball

CAUGHT A FoRGER.
Ben Wheeler Signs the Wrong Name to
Two Bank Checks.

Two Bank Checks.
Two forged checks were the agents
in sending Ben Wheeler to the county
Jail Saturday evening. Wheeler is
travelling man and claimed to repre-
sent the National Cash Register Co of
Dayton, Ohio.
Saturday morning he went to several
business houses along Main street and
attempted to cash a check for $50.
The amount was too large, and the
men fought shy of it, Later on the
fellow is accused of forging two checks
on John Taylor, for $l2 and 81 respect
lively. With one of these he went to
meat market and purchased a chicken
and leg of mutton and offered one of
the checks in payment. This the pro-
prietor refused to cash, and leaving
the meat he went to Mrs. Fuller's res
taurant where he is supposed to have
endorsed the name of 81. E. Tanner on
the back of it. This check was cashed
by the lady. The other check the
fellow succeeded in cashing in saloon.
The catch is no ordinary one as it
was learned today that two warrants
are now pending against the fellow in
Dayton on similar charges. He is
either great crook or an innocent
man, as he declares today that he had
never been arrested before. He waived
the preliminary examination and was
bound over to the circuit court, the
bail being fixed at $1,000.

QUITE A BLAZE.
Barn Belonging to Fred Koehn is Burned
on Sunday Afternoon.

About three o'clock Sunday after
noon fire broke out in barn belonging
to Fred Koehn on Lyman avenue and
before it was finally extinguished by
the department the owner has sustain
ed loss of 5000 only partially covered
by insurance.
The exact origin of the fire could not
be determined but it is supposed that
hay smoking in the stable fired the
dry straw. A team of horses which
were in the barn narrowly escaped a
horrible death. The loss on the build
ing will be exceeded by the loss of the
contents which consisted of several
sets of harness and large amount of
hay and other feed The building loss
was fully covered with insurance.
The Circuit Court calendar will be
unusually large for the coming term.

QUEER QUADRUpED.
With a Bullet Proof Skin Found In
PATAGONIA.

An interesting qusdruped has re-
Gently been discovered which has the
peculiar property of a bullet-proOf
skin. 1t was first seen and shot at
several years ago in the interior of
Santa Cruz, by the late Ramon
Lista, who heard of the animal
frequently from the Indians. It was
described by that naturalists as q pan
COLIN without scales and covered with
reddish hair, but it was impossible
either to kill or capture specimen,
and by many it was believed that the
observer had been deceived. Now,
however, DIR. FlOrentinO AmeghinO
has received from South Patagonia
some bony ossicles and q partly de-
stroyed skin which bear out complete
ly Lista's observations. The ossicles
in question were imbedded in the skin
like paving stones, the skin being
slightly less than an inch in thickness
and so tough as only to be broken with
Ratchet. Its surface was covered
with coarse hair. about two inches in
length and of a reddish gray shade.
Lista, who was the only civilized man
to ever see this animal alive, unfor-
tunstely lost his life while ex-
ploring Pilcomayo, but on account of
his discovery the animal has been
named Neomy lOdOn Listai after him.

show that 1000 more persons have
been employed In the manufactures OF
the state this year than during 1897.
This il exclusive of the firms which
have resumed business with their old
forces of employees, and also OF those
firms which have resumed running on
full time after curtailment.
Such facts as these give additions
proof of the fact that the policies OF
the republican party, put In practice
and kept In force, are actually benefit
ing the country, while the senseless
rauting of the opposition parties, late
ly so roundly censured and clearly
disapproved at the polls, are OF neces'
sity being devoted to statements that
are far from fact and to arguments and
theories that are without plausible
fou ndation. The republican party is

THE people who attended the trial
of the Burns will case Saturday after.
noon were somewhat surprised by q
most unusual proceeding on the part OF
Attorney Falvey. OF course those who
have followed this case from the first
are we'll aware that an effort has been
made by the oontestee to show that
the motives of his opponents
were largely political. The
HERALD has more than once been
injected in to the fight, and has been re-
ferred to in court as . leading factor
In the case, because we' have insisted
that while the disposition OF the will
case was none of our affair, neverthe-
less the evidence sdduoed during the
trial has direct bearing on the
political conditions of this city.
Judge Falvey, In summing up
for his side, held that the court should
not be Influenced by the force OF pub
lie opinion, as represented in the HER
AID, nor should it be swsyed by the
political feeling that has been current
concerning the case and that has been
voiced In the HERALD. 1t was while
he was engaged in this portion
of the argument that he
surprised the court and the
spectators. He called for the reporter
of the HERALD, who was engaged
at the time in reporting the case,
and proceeded to impugn his
work and his motives. He
hesped ridicule on the reporter,
and was not content until he
had told q shady story with
direct apple alton to the HERALD rep
preventative, and had succeeded in
turning the attention Of the people in
the court room to the reporter, per-
sonslly. The attack was not only al
most unprecedented, but 1t was most
unjustifisble and beneath the dignity
Of the court.
