DOCTORS IN SESSION
AND TALK OVER PROSPECTS OF A
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
OF GREAT VALUE TO THE CITY
Temporary Organization is Formed by
Electing DR.. Frank Andre Chairman
CONSTITUTION to be Drawn up
Purposes of the Society.

Nine of the practicing physicians OF
1.-THE city laid aside their medicine bot
ties and pill boxes Friday night and
met in a friendly, social meeting at the
residence of DR.. George T. Kimballl Oh
Prairie avenue. The doctors spent a
very pleasant and profitable evening
The doctors have not yet divulged
the plans of their organization, but it
is stated that all effort is being made
to form an association of all the ply
sicians in the city. The meeting was
very informal and the evening was
spent in laying plans for a future con-
sideration of the subject. DR.. F. E.
Andre was elected temporary chair
man of the meeting and a committee
consisting of Drs. Windesheim, Cheever
and Andre, was named to prepare a
constitution and bylaws for the pro-
posed association and report the result
at the next meeting, which will be held
with DR.. Kimball OIL Jan. q. The
plan for organization was very enthu-
siastically received by all the physi-
clans present and they hail the advent
of the association as a harbinger of
better times in the health conditions of
the city.
The proposed association will in
clude all classes of physicians in the
city and no especial school will be rec
ognized among its members. The
purpose of the society will be for the
advancement of the profession and the
discussion Of topics that pertain not
only to the good of the medical frater-
nifty, but to the city at large. This
action of the doctors will be a most
beneficial affair for the health officers OF
the city. In fighting disease, as in
everything else, there is strength IN
union, and surely the great field of the
medical profession furnishes a proper
place for such union. After the tenn
porary organization thus completed
the doctors retired to the dining room,
where Kupfer served magnificent
repast of oysters and coffee.
The doctors present at the meeting
were Drs. Farr, Windesheim, Cleary,
Ripley, Cheever, Andre, Harbert, Gill
lesnia and KimDall

PROF. JAcoBY REPLIES.
Tells of His Connection with the WindsS
Band

To the people of Kenosha: The story
being circulated by the three members
of the Windsor band in regard to my
relations with that organization have
occasioned considerable comment, and
/ consider it my duty to state few
facts in connection with the affair. AZ
my arrival in Kenosha, on taking
charge of the Windsor band, l found
the organization in a condition where
it was necessary to make several
changes in order to bring about a
foundation on which to build noticea,
bic improvements. IN making these
changes was authorized by the ban6
| to engage several new musicians, for
which the Chas. A. Seig Manufacturing
Co. would find employment, which part
the company faithfully fulfilled. AS in
every other amateur organiZatien
when new member JOINS the organi-
cation, who is a better musician than
many of the others a few old members
will always find some occasion to make
it unpleasant for the new members,
Such was the case in this organization.
Having at the time received letter
from Mr.. Week. the superintendent
of the works, stating that he had beer
told personally that the orchestra WAS
not good enough to play at entertain
ments given by people who were desir.
Gus of seeing the band and orchestra
on a firm footing that it could DO iden-
titled with the best interests of the city.
l removed by full vote of the band
one member of the orchestra, and
replaced him by superior musician,
and the orchestra at once showed
a decided improvement. This max
who had been dropped from the or
chestra naturally started dissatisfac-
ton. Lately it was reported that the
band had appointed new leader, and
in so doing had stated that was not
fitted for the work of a band director.
An investigation of this story shows
that it originated with three men, tfsa
remainder of the band being perfectly
satisfied with my work. l am perfsSssy
willing to leave the subject of my
ability in directing the band to the bet
ter judgment of the citizens who
thronged the park during the concerts
last summer, and which will be con-
tinued as soon as the weather permits
by new band under my direction.
Wishing the Windsor band great
success under it's new director, am
yours, very truly, F. r. JACoBy.

Annual Election of the Volunteer Fire
Company.

The annual meeting of the KenOshGs
Volunteer Fire department was held
Monday night at the city hall. Repre-
senUatives from the fire companies to
the number of twenty five were pres
ent. The meeting was called to order
by President j. G.. Slater, and after the
reading of the minutes the usual mo-
ton to dispense with the collection Of
fines due from the members was made
and carried. The treasurer's report
which was read and approved, showed
balance of $83799 in the treasury.
On the motion of Fireman O'Oonnek
the following officers were elected by
reclamation:
President, J. G. Slater; vice-presi-
dent, Charles Fl. Goodman; secretary,
Charles Il. Pfennig; treasurer, c. c.
Brown; collector, David Vaughan.
A resolution was passed recommend
ing that the city council reappOiHt
James Barr chief engineer of the
department. This action of the
department will meet with the hearty
approval of all the citizens of the city.
Chief Barr has occupied the position
for several years, and his faithful atten-
ton to his duties has won him warm
friends, both with the members and
with the community at large. The
naming of assistants to the chief
caused some discussion, and several
men were named for the position by
the members of the department. No
appointments we're made, however,
and the naming of the assistants was
left to the chief of the department.

Guests were present from Racine and
Milwaukee and the gay dancers, robed

beautiful costumes were worn, not a
few of them exciting applause from the
spectators, of which there were a
goodly number. Five prizes of So
each were offered for the best costumes

who was attired as a fairy. Mr.. E. c.
Peterson, dressed as German soldier,
won the first gentleman's prize. The
prize for the best group of lady mask
ers was given to four young ladies
dressed in the black robes of dominos
The ushers at Rhode opera house sue
ceeded in obtaining the prize for the
best group of gentlemen. The five
young men were dressed as FIVE section
men Just in from Klondyke, and their
appearance created quite a furore.
They were certainly prize winners.
Chas. Newbert, attired as Dutch
man, won the comic prize. The music
was furnished by Wirth's orchestra,
from Milwaukee, and dancing continued
until early this morning.

THE CITY IN DARKNESS.
Electric Light Engine Breaks Down and
the Lights Fail to Burn.

the Lights Fail to Burn.
Notwithstanding the fact that Tues
day night was one of the darkest and
foggy nights on record, the city was in
total darkness, and pedestrians made
their way about the city in tie mud
and slush without any friendly light to
guide their footsteps, and in constant
danger of being run down by some
bicycle fend who was riding his wheel
without any light, Notwithstanding the
law in regard to the use of lamps. The
cause of it all was a break in the
mechanism of the large, upright Wes-
tinghouse engine which is. used to gen
crate power for the arc lights used in
lighting the streets. The engine broke
before the lights were lit, and it was
impossible to make any change in order
to furnish light for the evening. The
accident was rather expensive to the
company, as the bill for lights out from
the city alone will amount to $23. The
engine will be repaired today and the
lights will burn tonight.

The PUBLIC Library PLAYS.

Those who witnessed the two plays
given in the Central opera house on
Tuesday evening last by local talent
of this city, for the benefit of the pub
lie library, were treated to perform
auces which would have done credit
to professionals of the stage. To COM
ment upon one and not the other
would be doing an injustice, as each
PLAYER in his or her role performed
their part to perfection. The acting
of those taking part far exceeded the
most sanguine expectations OF any OF
the large crowd present. The enter
tainment was a great success tnan-
cially as we'll as in the rendition OF 1t.
There were two plays, in one act
each. both of Mixed Pickles" varie-
X. the first Poor Pillicody, " in which
the following took part: Misses Alice
Shoemaker, Salye Faulkner and Nota
Viewer, and Messrs. Norval and John
Lemen. The second was "a Pretty
Piece of Business" and was made uI
of Misses Bessie Boyd, Salye Faux
ner, Mrs. Eugene Miller and Messrs
Leonard Sparrow and Stephen Snod
grass. The City Band was present
and discoursed music tor the occasion
The amount OF SIS were the receipts
and will be a great help in enlargin
the number of books in the library.
