Proper sanitation would prevent the
ravages of many destructive diseases
and particularly typhoid fever which in
default of pure water and proper sew
erage in towns and cities slaughters its
victims by the scores. Here is a city
in England which within a few weeks
reported 1172 cases of typhoid fever,
the deaths in consequence numbering
forty-six. But this morality doubtless
did not in any wise alarm the authori-
ties.-Racine Journal.
We all like to zoe a man earnest
enough and intelligent enough to back
his opinions with reason and argument
but when be backs his opinion that
wheat is going to be lower by selling
his crop, as Kentucky man did the
other day, for Is cents a bushel, deliv-
cradle Immediately after the threshing,
we must regard him as foolish. --Osh-

RACINE COUNTY CASE.

Jurisdiction.
District Attorney Buckmaster was III
Racine Friday afternoon and investi-
gated the case against the NJ, R. & <.
road in regard to the death of motor
man r. L. Bowles. The circumstances
are such that the case does not come
under the jurisdiction of the Kenosha
county courts. The Racine county
attorney was probably aware of that
fact at the time and their reasons for
referring the case to this county was
for the purpose of throwing the ex-
penses of such trial on the tax payers
of Kenosha county, and the labor of
conducting the trial upon our District
Attorney. When the attorney had
been informed that the case was clearly
under the jurisdiction of Racine county
he at once stated that he hardly
thought that the matter was case fit
for an action against the officials of the
company. This is a very sensible way
of looking at the affair as the neglect
of the company to notify its agents in
Kenosha was purely accidental.

Have Trouble in Signing Their
Nuptia1 Contract.
The fame of Kenosha as marriage
center was somewhat dimmed this
morning by the experience of two
young people who live at Aurora, III.
and who came to Kenosha to be mar
ried. The idea of getting married was
evidently an inspiration to them and
they concluded to act on it before it
slipped their memory. For this reason
they took the train to Kenosha and
after arriving in this city the man told
one of the passengers that he wanted
to keep away from the newspaper re-
porters who he eulOgiZed in rather I'M
complimentary terms. The couple
went at once to the Grant House, where
they registered as Mr.. and Mrs. j. M.
Little, of Chicago. On the way up
from the train the man stated that they
intended to wake some old preacher up
at 5 o'clock this morning but it seemed
they changed plans and made their ap
pearance at the M. E. parsonage at TO-.
After asking them the customary ques-
lions the minister decided that they
were not fit subjects for the bonds of
matrimony, as it was learned that the
young lady, who gave her name as Mae
Gambol, was but II years of age, and
Y when couple entered the house
|. cided odor of liquor came with
them and Pastor Naylor positively re-
fused to marry them. After trying an
other minister they la d de their
high spirits and telegraphed to the
Young lady's mother asking her con-
sent. This was finally received and
the young people were married by
Rev. I. W. Corey.

Elect a stamping CLERK.

The insurance board of Kenosha
met Friday afte noon at Arthur
French's Office and adopted the new
rates for the coming year. The new
schedule reduces the rates on all sorts
of risks, the cut being very heavy on
merchantable risks. The only other
business transacted was the election of
Mrs. Clara Barnes to the position OF
stamping clerk. This Office was crea-
ted in order to prevent any cutting of
rates by the agents. t Q daily reports
will now be shown to the new stamp
ing clerk and if free from errors will
be stamped. If any errors are found
the policies are returned to the agent
to bo rectifed, and If he refuses to
make the changes the case is reported
to the local board, and the offending
agent may be fined.

In 1.-THE Maze.

One of the most enjoyable entertain
ments of the year was the entertain
ment given by the ladies of the Con-
gregational church Friday night.
The Maze" together with the sur
roundings of music and good things to
eat, formed an ideal way in which to
spend an evening. The Maze" itself
was we'll worth the price of admission
and those who were most confused by
it's mysterious labyrinths we're the
loudest in their praise of the fun.
In the parlors of the church this
mystic maze was constructed and con-
sisted of number of canvas curtains
arranged in such q fashion that it was
almost impossible to get through it
without losing ones way. Openings
here and there along the way only
served to mix the traveller more IN bis
efforts to secure his freedom in the re-
uuired three minutes. Not few were
successful, but a larger number more
paid the guides the nickel to procure
their liberty. Going from the maze
and its mysteries, the next place of in
terest was the: dining room, which was
beautifully decorated in rel and IL
Illuminated with red candles. Miss Osia
banks and Miss Erickson set at the
end of the table and poured tea, which
was served to the people by Misses
Hurd and Rogers. Miss Genevieve
Roblee acted as treasurer in the dining
room. The candy stand, at which a
variety of sweetmeats were on sale,
was presided over by Misses Redeker,
Slosson and Eichelman. During the
entire evening music wa, nished by
Prof. Jacoby and Mrs. E. Fl. Hollister,
which added much to the enjoyment OF
the evening.
Financial and socially The
Maze" was a great success and the
ladies deserve great credit for their
clever work in planning and construct
ing this mysterious device.

Friday night occurred the annual
installation of officers of the Kenosha

The colors of the senior and junior
classes were again trailed in the dust
Friday night, when a team consisting
of freshmen and sophomores admins
tered a horrible drubbing to them on
the gaslit diamond. Quite a crowd
was in attendance, and both the teams
had an equal number of friends among
the rooters, but it was evident from
the start that the girls wearing the
senior colors were not very certain OF
the success of their classmates, while
the young ladies of the freshmen and
sophomore classes seemed certain OF
victory. For the first few innings the
game proved to be a very even contest
and the Seniors had a little the better
of the contest if anything, but in the
seventh inning the younger boys took
the game well in hand by smashing out
nine hits, which netted them seven
runs. In this scoring they were OF
course aided by some very yellow
playing by the Seniors, who played
more like crowd of football players
than anything else. Schumacher dis
t1nguished himself by hitting the ball
up into the gallery for four bases, trot-
ting in behind three other members Of
his team. The work of the Freshmen
Sophomore battery was very good and
shows that Kenosha has some splendid
material among the boys. Cleary as
catcher for the Seniors also played a
good game and has proved himself
invincible as a first baseman. An
effort is now being made to organize
an all high school team TO contest with
the hignt schools of other cities, AID il
the project is Fsuccessful Kenosha will
surely stand high. This union is
opposed by the Sophomores ard
Freshmen, ! who claim that the union OF
the teams would only make weaker
team than theirs, and they are ready
to meet alss comers unassisted by the
higher classmen. The teams lined up
