A. O. H. FAIR OPENS.
SCENE OF UNUSUAL BRlLLIANCE
AT CENTRAL MUSIC HALL.
FLOWERS AND FAIR WOMEN.
Add to the Attractiveness of the Fair
Given for the Purpose of Raising
Funds for anew Building-Large
Crowd in Attendance.

The A. O. 81. fair opened at Central
Music Hall Tuesday night amidst
blaze of glory and the large crowd of
the friends of the order, who turned out
for the opening night argues a great
success for the undertaking.
Old Central Music Hall never looked
prettier. Great banks of palms and
cut flowers were arranged in different
parts of the hall, while the walls and
ceilings were completely covered with
festoons of evergreen in which was
mingled bright colored ribbons. Asa
background for the elaborate decora-
tions the hall was hung with American
flags and the banner of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians. In every nook
and corner of the large hall pretty
booths had been arranged, where young
ladies, in their daintiest gowns and
sweetest smile, managed to decoy
many dollar in exchange for wares
which their own hands had produced.
In the first of these booths, which was
made beautiful with elaborate decora-
ton of blue and white carleton, Misses
Agnes Cleary, Lizzie Tanning and
Kittie Donahue served the guests with
sweetmeats and ice cream.
The next booth was fish pond, and
Miss Minnie Ward as the " Little
Fisher Maiden," gave children unlim-
tied pleasure by assisting them in
fishing out of the booth various articles
useful and ornamental.
One of the prettiest booths in the
entire hall was the candy booth, pre-
sided over by Misses Sadie Carr and
Tillie Morrison. Pink and white were
the ruling colors in this little fairy
bower and carnations and chrysanthe-
NUNS mingling in the flowing folds of
the bunting produced a charming
effect.
The fancy work booth was decorated
in green and white, and was presided
over by Misses Belle McGill, Maude
Morrison and Rose TGllY. These
young ladies had a most interesting
collection of articles for sale, and what
was best of all nearly all of them were
made by their own hands.
Besides these booths there were
other booths in the room, offering for
sale every sort of merchandise from a
baby's RAJ tie up to horse and buggy.
The merchants of the city have been
very kind to the A. 0. Fl. boys and the
contributions are as bea tiful as they
are valuable.
The supper room also proved pop
ular addition to the fair and under
the control of the Ladies' Auxiliary it
was an assured success. Supper was
served in the dining room, which was
beautifully decorated with palms and
flowers. The ladies who presided in
the dining room were Mesdames
Griffith, Cleary, Gallagher, OMelia.
Cragin, O'Brien, Tully, Rategan,
Deffery and Werve; Misses Lynch,
Ward and Rategan.
The building committee, who have
full control Of the fair consists of
Messrs. Joseph Tully, Ed Sullivan, John
O'Donnell and Thomas Riley.

TRUESDELL.

Recent rains have put the soil in fine
condition for blowing, and farmers are
seen in the fields with a large force OF
men and teams preparing the fields for
spring sowing.
Mrs. j. Fl. Beland and daughter
Hazel spent Sunday with friends at
Franksville.
Anyone having cattle to sell can
easily dispose of them at Truesdell and
demand most any price, for they will
sell regardless of prices asked for
them.
Henry Wynbof, of Racine, spent
Sunday with J. Fl. Beland.
A large crowd attended the sOciable
at George Pedley's Monday evening
and all report having had nice social
time.
It finally did quit raining and the
roads are drying fast. Even our
graveled roads we're all slush and mud
and the street railway, which we ex-
pect to be built out to Paddock's Lake
from Kenosha some time in the future,
would do a thriving business during
these rainy spells.

ments on the capitol were ridicued.
Four thousand dollars had been ex-
pended, he said, and four flower beds
and two squirrel houses were the only
visible manifestations of the expendi-
ture.
In conclusion the speaker spoke of
John F. Reynolds, the Republican
candidate for senator from the district,
and compared him with L. G. Bohm-
rich, the democratic nominee.

NO LINE UNTIL SPRING
The DUNBAR Boat Leaves Today and Will
Not Return Till the Ice Breaks

Not Return Till the Ice Breaks
The steamer A. B. Taylor will not
run between Kenosha and Chicago
during the coming winter, and it
hardly seems possible for any other line
to enter the service under the present
conditions. C. E. Dunbar, of Chicago,
owner of both the America and Taylor,
was in this city today and made final
settlement of all the claims against the
Burke company during the time they
were operating his steamer.
Mr.. Dunbar stated to representa-
tive of this paper that no effort would
be made to revive the lake transporta-
ton this fall. He said that the wreck
ing of the Tuttle had so blocked the
harbOr at Michigan City that it was
impossible for him to make that point
and there was no money in the business
between Chicago and Kenosha without
the other route. Another reason given
was the fact that the bad management
of the Burke company had made it
impossible for the present line to hope
to merit reasonable amount of the
Kenosha shipping.
AS soon as the ice breaks in the
spring the A. B. Taylor will begin
regular trips between Chicago and this
city and by May 1st the America will
be put on purely as a passenger boat.
The two routes between Michigan
City and Chicago and Kenosha and
Chicago will be made daily. Mr.
Dunbar said that there was no truth in
the report that the Goodrich company
would enter KenOsha and was given
out only as bluff to keep the smaller
lines from working up a profitable
business between ports which might
eventually lead to the running of a
rival line between Chicago and Mil
waukee.
The America will leave, as soon as the
weather permits, for Grand Haven to
tie up for the winter.

ABOUT THE FIRST AND BEST
Of Real Irish Farce Comedies Was Null
doons Picnic.

This favorite farce is announced as
the attraction at the Rhode opera house
next Sunday night. The play has
been furnished up to date by the we'll
known author, Con. 7. Murphy, who
mas retained all the best dialogue and
funniest situations of the original YER
sion, and added much that is new,
bright and witty. A good company
has been engaged for this season, and
a number of bright speciality people
have been engaged, and have added
the newest things in songs, dances,
etc., to the entertainment. The
patrons of the Rhode opera house will
doubtless be glad to renew their &C
quaintance with this funny farce, and
the two principal fun makers, Muldoon
and Mulcahy.

The Township School.

Mr.. Hoyt further said: AS to the
depreciation of property resulting from
doing away with district schools, all |
have to say is that such statement
does not tally with the facts. Our
lands have actually increased in value"
This fact does away with that OBJ
lection. Sending children away so far
from home is a rather serious matter"
q" But we try hard to get good, careful
drivers and good covered rigs. Of
late we've heard no complaints. You
we'll know how stubbornly some folks
oppose any change, no matter how
good it may be-" Now, let me tell
you. We think the township plan of
sending all the children to central
school is best for these reasons. (1) We
find a much larger per cent. enrolled.
(2) There is no hardness among the
pupils. (3) We get more regular at
tendance. az We can grade the pu-
pills much better. (5) There is no wet
feet or clothing, nor colds resulting
therefrOm. (6) We give our driver
authority to prevent any quarreling,
improper language or conduct. (0
We feel tina our pupils are under the
care of responsible persons from their
leaving home in the morning until they
return at night. (8) Our central
school house is built right up in style,
ventilated, heated by steam, good ap-
paratus. O! [ say to you, she's daisy.
The house did not cost as much as the
nine district houses. We can get
much better teachers; hence better
schools. But here is the clincher. The
cost of tuition per pupil has been re-
duced from $16 to $10.48. Money
talks. When you can show a man
that a new thing is good for his pocket
book, you've got him. 1t won't be ten
years before this new deal will be gen
orally adopted in Northeastern Ohio.
| have now presented the main ar
guments for and against the township
central school. hope those who have
read these articles will consider
thoughtfully the situation. AS a mat
ter of fact, in many districts through
out Kenosha county there are hardly
enough children to form a game of two
old cat, Is such state of affairs for
the best? If not, what shall be done?
In many kinds of business affairs the
tendency is towards consolidate N. The
tide seems setting that way. Will
school affairs escape that tendency?
1t stands every taxpayer and school
patron in hand to consider how the
schools of Kenosha county may be best
and most economically carried on.

DEFENDS THE RIGHT.
HON. |. S. BLAKEY ADDRESSES A
BIG MEETINGAT NEW MUNSTER.
COUNTRY GREATLY AROUSED
The Peerless o. Conner Delivers a Speech
at the opera House, in Which He
Dodges Every Issue of
the Campaign.

The country districts, which have
been slumbering during the early
weeks Of the campaign, are now thor
oughly aroused and from now on until
the votes are cast meetings will be held
in every district of the county. This
campaign for honest money and honest
State government was inaugurated at
the little village of New Munster,
where Hon. j. S. Blakey, of Union
Grove, addressed the largest political
meeting held in Kenosha county thus
far during the campaign. For nearly
two hours the crowd which tested the
capacity of the hall applauded the elo-
quent sentiments of the orator who
placed the Democracy on the gridiron
and roasted them for their feeble eff
forts to evade the real issues of the
campaign and bury their own duplicity
under a torrent of illusions against the
Republican nominees. Mr.. Blakey
spoke of the county ticket and said
that every man on the ticket was we'll
worldly of the support of every loyal
voter in the county.
Previous to the address of the even
ing short talks were made by District
Attorney Buckmaster and Hon. Paul
E. Sauer. During the remainder of
the week the campaign in the county
will be exceedingly lively and the fol-
lowing meetings are announced:
Wednesday evening-Hon. j. S.
Blakey at Silver Lake. y
Thursday evening-Hon. G.. j. Gill
len at Bristol.
Friday evening-Hon. G.. J. Gillen
at WilmOt.
Saturday evening at Salem-Speak-
er not announced.
Saturday evening-Hon. 81. A.
Cooper at Kenosha.
Monday evening-William Griffith
at Twin Lakes.
Monday evening-John F. Reynolds
at Randall.
OConnor Evades the Issue.
Hon. James L. OCOnnor, the boss of
the Wisconsin Democrats, spoke to a
small audience at the Rhode opera
house Tuesday evening. AS usual the
address of Mr.. OConnor was one con-
tinued effort to, evade the real issue
before the people by hurting personal
abuse at the Republican nominees.
He arraigned the Scofeld admins
tration by charging it with broken
promises untitled. His attack on Gov
ScOfield was steadily kept up during
the entire speech. He assaulted the
governor for defeating honest legisla-
ton on the ground of being unconsti-
tutiomal when nothing of the sort
existed, of placing insurance On the
capital without any justification from
the statute books, OF favOring the pass
system, of placing the name of his own
son on the salary list and demanding
from him no service to the state. " Mr..
Scofeld," he said " is the machine
candidate. He represents unfulfilled
pledges and corrupt methods, If La
| Toilette had been the party nominee
there would have been no occasion for
honest men to fear the possibility of
another Republican administration of
failure and dishonesty"
Scofeld's brindle COW" and the
doodle book" were brought in at
opportune and inopportune occasions.
The danger to the public school system
by the election of Republican candi-
dates was alluded to, and improve
