WANT THE Law CHANGED.
Property Owners About Inland Lakes Will
make Tronb1e for Ice Men

Property Owners About Inland Lakes Will
make Trouble for Ice Men
One of the outgrowths Of the Old
Settlers meeting at Paddock's Lake
last Thursday, was the getting together
of large number of residents, of this
and other counties, who live on the
borders Of the inland lakes. The meet
ing of these residents was in 20 way a
formal one, but it will result in some
steps being taken to make no end of
trouble for Chicago ice men who are in
the habit Of reaping an ice harvest
each year from the inland lakes of
Wisconsin. According to the present
state laws the beds of inland lakes are
the property of the state, and therefore
the ice is the property of the first man
who cuts it. The residents do not OBJ
iect to the loss Of the ice but they do
kick and that most vigorously, against
the high-handed way in which it is
taken. Many of these little lakes, like
Camp lake and Silver lake, are little
more than ponds, and the people living
adjacent to them find great sport from
skating on them in winter. This is all
spoiled by the ice men who are no
respecters of position, and take the
clearest ice wherever it can be found
The only scheme that has been sug-
gested for remedy is the change in
the ownership of the inland lakes, and
an effort will be made to form an asso-
citation of all these effected by the nui-
sance in the state, in order to petition
the next state assembly to pass law
granting them relief. The scheme that
will be presented is that the law be
changed so that the beds of all inland
lakes lying entirely within any county
of the state, shall be owned jointly by
the admitting property owners.
One of the best attorneys in the city
has the matter in hand, and says that
the organization will be pushed into all
inland lake sections of the state, and
the demand will be so great that the
state legislators can not but recognize

RATHBONE SISTERS PICNIC.
Very Enjoyable Time is Spent at Jacobs
Island by Knights and Ladies.

Very Enjoyable Time is Spent at Jacobs
Island by Knights and Ladies.
The Rathb0ne Sisters were monarchs
of all they surveyed at Jacobs island
Tuesday night, when a most enjoyable
picnic was given under their direction.
The night was par excellence for picnic
purposes and the gorgeous moonlight
furnished decorations more beautiful
thal any artificial ones ever arranged.
Over fifty of the Sisters and the K. of
P. boys were in attendance and enjoyed
the evening hugely.
The party were taken out to the
island in two large buses, and on their
arrival a dance was at once started in
the pavilion with Stemm1s orchestra
furnishing the music. At eleven o'clock
a picnic lunch was served on the grass
and all partOok heartily. The Rath-
bone sisters have always had the repu-
tation of being royal entertainers, and
their reputation was only increased by
the pleasant moonlight picnic.

Our series of festivities and social
pleasures have drawn to a close, and
every one as with the voice of one man,
is ready to say how perfectly success
full everything has been. The Moth

list, was a general success, between
three and four hundred being present.
The lecturer, Miss Duson, was bright,
interesting and instructive. The many
mothers present drank in her words
with manifest eagerness, and went
home to profit by her instruction. Rev.
E. Mayer, of Pleasant Prairie, gave
most helpful address on " Home Build
ing" Mrs Williams, of Antioch, and
her two little daughters charmed the
audience with their singing. 1t is but
lust to the committee on program to
state that the entertainment in the
evening was a great disappointment to
them as well as the public. There
were seven very attractive numbers
promised who sent their regrets, in
most cases accompanied by good
excuses, too late to be corrected.

what the Young Lady viii wear in Her
Coming Engagement.


Coming Engagement.
OF all things most dear to ladies are
novelties in dresses, especially when
they are to be worn by debutante in
society, which are sometimes maryels
of simplicity, but in the case of a stage
favorite the modiste is given carte
blanche, and the result is most of all
the celebrated designs have had their
origin on the stage, and society is
usually on the lookout for the latest
gowns Barnhardt or Duce wears. So
it is the case with Miss Reynolds, since
her preparation for her debut with Che
Owen company. Her great number
of lady friends have just been dying to
know what she will wear, ard as the
writer has had glimpse of all the
pretty things which will adOrn Miss
Reynolds at her first appearance as an
actress, slight description will be
given of the dresses which she will
wear the first night in Othello.
In.the first act in the Senate scene
her gown is pure white Duchesse satin,
with a white satin lowered front. The
style is Venetian. The gown is trimmed
with heavy silver and pearl lace,
the court train falls in heavy folds two
yards on the floor. The sleeves are in
three large puffs, which will give the
wearer a most dignifed carriage. Her
hair will be worn in two long braids
entwined with pearls, the style which
Cleo De Merode has made famous.
Her second dress is heavy black
cloth, over which will be worn long
blue silk plush cloak. The third dress
is most magnificent brOcade of French
lavender with large embossed white
flowers, with large lapels of delicate
Nile green satin, the front is jeweled
embroidered with colored sequins; the
sleeves are large and pulled with green
and jewels. With this dress will be
worn a handsome string of pearls and
emeralds. This dress is a copy of
Bernhardt's latest creation.
These gowns were made by Miss
Faber, of this city, and are the most
fetching ever made by her.
Miss Reynolds dresses in the Marble
Heart are modern, but in the Cavalier
of France they are of Henry III period
and very stunning. The costumes for
this play are all new. Those worn by
Mr.. Owen and the gentlemen of the
company were made by Miss O'Donnell,
of this city. The scenery is being
painted by Louis Kindt, and is the
finest work he has done in this city.

interesting. The bride was attired in
a pretty travelling gown of brown silk,

RICHMOND, ILL.

Although mot resident of Kenosha
county l attended the Old Settlers
picnic at Paddock's lake last week
Thursday and remained at the dance
till 11:30, and without exception it was
one of the pleasantest picnics ever
attended, and think the Old Settlers
are to be congratulated upon making
tie occasion one long to be remember
ed by those attending and wishing for
the next year to come so as to meet
again. They have, / think, the finest
picnic grounds in southern Wisconsin
or northern Illinois for accommodating
a crowd. The Fpicnic ground on the
north side of the road and the ground
on the south side for teams and car
riages, etc.
The program in the afternoon was
interesting and the speaking was extra
good. At night it made one wonder
where they all came from to see the
crowd of young people in the pavilion.
The music was grand; each partperfect
Heard so many make the remark it was
the best that ever had been there. Saw
they used a KimbaIl piano by the

be effaced from the memory of those
attending, and all will look forward
with pleasure to the annual reunion of
next year. One who was there.

A large number of their Racine friends
accepted the invitation of the Kenosha

was spent in enjoying the delightful
lake breezes and taking rides on the
little steamer Reyonep. At noon a
sumptuous dinner was served and all
the members and their friends made
this one of the main features of the day.
In the afternoon the time was spent in
true picnic style and when supper time
came the big dinner baskets were
opened to set up another delightful
