HE WANTS QUARLES
A FORMER KENOSHAN REJOICES
OVER REPUBLICAN VICTORY
IS AN HONOR TO WISCONSIN
Thomas A. Healey Considers Mr.. Quarles
the Peer of Any Member of the United
States Senate as a Statesman
and as a Gentleman.

KenOsha county is becoming daily
more and more interested in the race
for the next United States Senator
from Wisconsin. The Qnarles senti
ment is rapidly spreading and this
morning the following letter was re-
ceived from Thomas Healey, former
resident of Kenosha:
Milford, Neb., November II, 1898
Mr.. EditOr-My Dear Sir:-I am
very proud of old Wisconsin, and es-
pecally of my Old home, Kenosha
county.
Now if the next Legislature will only
do themselves and their State the hon
or of electing Joe Quarles to the
United States Senate, then | believe
The State will once more assume the
proud place it once held in the legisla-
tive halls of the nation. We must all
admit it has not held that position of
late; and IN my humble Judgment,
never since the days of Matt Carpenter
until now have the people of the State
had an opportunity to be represented
by SO able and clean man.
have known Mr.. Quarles intimately
for thirty-fve years and l consider him
the peer of any man in the United
States Senate today.
The beautiful part of the man lies in
the fact that while he has acknowledged
ability, he also has honesty and integ-
rity of character and is entirely free
from political trickery and is in no
manner connected with political tie
ups and rings. A man of the common
people, who could not be bought,
bribed or bulldOzed.
The pops and dems carried our State,
but by greatly reduced majOrities, and
they only got State officers, while we
captured the Legislature, thus insuring
the election of good Republican to
! Join Quarles in the United States Sen
ate in place of windy V. Allen.
Trusting to hear of the election OF
Mr. Quarles, 1 am, Very truly yours,
THOMAS A. HEALEY.

M. R. 6 K officials Make New Move in
the Franchise Line.

The NJ. r. & x. company are not
dead and from all indications they are
preparing to startle the city by spring
ing new franchise in the near future
out lining an entirely new route
through the city. Today it is repOr-
ted that agents of the company are
busily at work attempting to secure
the signatures of the inhabitants of
Lake Avenue Formerly North Water
street,, to a petition to the Council,
asking that the road be granted a
right of way along this street. The
petition has been largely signed and
the company are now greatly encOur-
aged and hope to gain admittance into
the city before Christmas.
The Milwaukee avenue residents
look upon this new move of the III, R.
& z as a big bluff made by the COM
pany to force the citizens Of Milwaukee
avenue to accede to their demands If
the company can secure franchise
along Lake avenue it will have gained
a great Roadway toward getting

already laid a side track from the main
lire to Lake avenue and it would be a
very easy thing for them to obtain per-
mission for them to run through Mr..
Simmons property to the end of Lake
avenue. OF course should the officials
secure the permission of the people
along this route, it will still be neces-
sary for them to secure an ordinance
from the City Council and it is hardly
thought that such an ordinance could
possibly be secured at this time. The
Company are also talking of change
of route over the south side of the city,
the new route being almost identical
with the one proposed by the Com
stock franchise for a through line.

LOST AN ARM.
An Employe of P1atz Tannery Meets With
an Accident.

Max Thomas, splitter employed by
the Platz Leather company, was seri-
ously injured Saturday afternoon and
will lose his left arm. About 2:3O
O'Clock the belt running from the shaft
to the knife sharpening machine be-
came entangled and Thomas and the
engineer went into the cellar to fix it.
In some way Thomas left arm was
caught in the belt and he was carried
bodily between the shaft and the cell
ing two or three times before the en-
gino could be stopped. AS there is
but a space of eighteen inches between
the shafting and the ceiling, it is
thought Thomas must be seriously in
iured internally.
Dr. Collins was called and decided to
send the man to St. Mary's hospital,
where he will amputate his arm
Thomas is a married man, about 30
years of age, and has four small chill
dren.-Racine News.
Thomas was we'll known in this city
and was employed at the Aliens Sons
tannery until be removed to Racine a
short time ago. He is member of the
Kenosha Chapter of the G. O. F., and
the lodge will undoubtedly do some
thing to assist both him and his family.

AND RED WIN
RACINE HIGHS DEFEATS KENOSHA
HIGHS IN AN EXCITING GAME.
SCORE WAS EIGHT TO SIX
over Three Hundred Spectators witness
the FIRST Foot Ball Game Played on
the Country Club Grounds-Cavan-
agh Breaks Rib.

The purple and red of Racine and
the red and black of Kenosha clashed
on the gridiron at the Country club
grounds on Saturday afternoon for the
closest foot ball game in which
the Kenosha team has participated.
1t was High school lame and
hundreds of the scholars turned out to
shout encouragement to their favorltes
from Kenosha, while almost as many
fair ones from Racine bedecked III
purple and red, shouted themselves
hoarse whom a Racine player lodged
through the Kenosha's line and carried
the pig skin toward the coveted goal.
To the jolly crowd of young people the
game was just as great an event DIS the
battle between Yale and Princeton or
Chicago and Wisconsin, and the girls
waved their flags and applauded their
foot ball heroes with as much vim as it
they had been playing the deciding
game in an intercollegiate Champion
ship.
Only week ago the Ken0sha boys
had been badly defeated by the Racine
kickers and a large crowd accompanied
the latter team expecting to see the
second disastrous defeat of the Kenosha
boys. In this they were mistaken for
the contest ended with score of 5 to
6, in favor of Racine, Both team play
ed very poor foot ball, but the errors
were so evenly balanced that the close
score made the game half way inter-
esting to the crowd, which shivered
about TIE side lines and o7errun the
! field.
The game was called promptly at 3
o'clock. Racine won the toss and chose
the south goal. Capt. Leeman kicked
off for Kenosha and sent the ball far
into the opponents territory. A
tumble gave the ball to Kenosha in the
ton yard line and after several hard
scrimmages Priddfs was forced over
j, the goal for the first touch down for the
locals. Leeman kicked an easy goal.
Kenosha kicked off again and the
ball going to Racine it was quickly
rushed toward the kenOsha 1Vo yarO
line and Leeman touched it behind the
| posts, scoring two points for Racine
This ended the first half.
When the Kenosha boys kicked of
in the second half Racine secured the
bali, and after several sharp scrim-
IMAGES Hess broke through the CROWD
of canvass Jackets aOd making a pretty
run of forty yards and touchdown
He kicked an easy goal, and left the
score 8 to 6, in favor of the visitors
During the remainder of the game
neither side was able to score, the bal
being most of the time in the Racine
territory.
The line up was as follows:

Miller the musical department Of the
city schools is rapidly acquiring a de
gree of excellence very surprising to

ments to be given by the Park Avenue
M. E. church, was given Monday even
ing at the Rhode opera house by the
Patricolo Grand Concert Co.. SignOr
Patricolo, tie pianist, showed himself
to be master of the piano; his execution
was perfect, but he was handicapped
by his instrument. His selections were
mostly familiar to the audience.
Miss George handled the violin with
ease and grace: her technique is Won
derful and she capti7ated the audience
from the start.
I. Miss Shoemaker was the favorite of
the evening, not only as charm
ing .reciter, but DIS an accompan-
list, where she is perfect. Her Del
sartean exhibition was new to most OF
the audience and she astOnished them
by showing the capabilities of physical
culture. She has perfect grace and
physique and she responded 10 her
numerous encores with q cheerful 6sa
that won her audience.
Miss Rano, soprano, has warm,
rich voice, and added much to the en-
| jOyment of the entertainment.

Find Homes for Orphans.
A special service was held at che
German Lutheran church Sunday night
for the purpose of organizing branch
of the Milwaukee orphan society of the
German Lutheran church of this state.
Rev. Eisman. Of Milwaukee, who has
charge of the work for the children in
the state, was present and made a
short statement of the work the society
had done and what had been planned
for the future. During the past year
the society has found homes for over
100 children, OF parents who had died
and left them without support. The
children are carefully selected and the
speaker urged that it was the duty OF
the church to care for their dependent
children. Nine children are now being
cared for by the society in Milwaukee
until permanent homes can be found
for them.
After the lectures by DR.. Eisman
large number of the members of the
church joined the sOcieSy and branch
was organized. The organization will be
completed at future meeting. While
the society has just been organized in
this city the congregation of the church
have done considerable work along this
charitable line and two homeless chill
dren have already been provided with

Walter Cavanagh, of this city, the
huge center rush of the University of
Chicago team, had the misfortune to
break a lib in the game with Wiscon-
sin Saturday afternoon. During the
second half the big line man fell on the
ball after a tumble and was laid out
for moment or two. He went back
into the game and no one suspected
that he had received any more serious
injury than bad bruise.
Saturday night, however, Cavanagh's
side troubled him and doctor exam
ined him. The physician said that the
football players rib was broken. The
injury is not serious, and Cavanagh
will be able to get around by tomorrow.
