REPUBLI leans HAVE A SHARP CONTEST
OVER STATE SENATOR.
TWELVE BALLOTS TAKEN
But No Nomination Had Been Made up TO
Three clock.-Lewis and Reynolds
Lead With Fourteen votes-Great
crowd in Attendance.

| The Third Senatorial District Con-
vention of the Republican party was
held at the City Hall in Racine today
and the large and enthusiastic crowd
present appeared as striking con-
trast ID the small and uninteresting
pow WOW held by the Democrats of the
Senatorial district in this city Tuesday.
Both counties turned out full delega-
cations and a large number of SYM
pathizers and friends of the different
candidates filed the hall to Its fullest
capacity
The convention was called to order
by Chairman H. j Smith, of the Sena-
torial committee, and Hon. James Cav
anagh of this city was elected Chairman
of the convention. In accepting the
honor Mr.. Cavanagh made a short ad
dress ringing with Republican senti-
ments. H. L. Hall, of Burlington, was
elected Secretary of the convention.
Resolutions were passed endorsing
in highest terms the national Repub-
lican platform adopted in st. Louis,
and the administrations of President
Mckinley and Governor Scofeld.. The
resolution further endorsed the candi-
dacy of Joseph QuarIes for United
States Senator, and the nominee of the
convention was ordered to use all his
influence toward securing the election
of KenOsha's favOrite son.
After the resolutions had been
adopted the contest for the nOmina-
ton began. Paul E. Sauer placed in
nomination John F. Reynolds, of Ran
dali; Attorney Cuttings, of Racine,
named W. T. Lewis, of Racine; while
Thos. Mosher, of Raymond, was named
by 81. R. Hail. of Burlington, and J. S.
Blakey, OF Union Grove, by N. E.
Jones.
The first ballot stood Lewis, II;
Reynolds, 10; B.akey, 3, and Mosher,
IS.
The convention continued ballOtilg
until long after noon, but no choice was
made.
Twelve ballots showed that the
Kenosha and Racine men were running
neck and neck and deadlock seemed
evident At this time an adjournment
was taken until 2 o'clock.
The thirty fifth ballot stood Lewis,
ID; Reynolds, II; Blakey, 10, and the
remainder scattering.

Nicholas PirSch Sailed Short Time Ago
for a Visit to Germany.
Kenosha, Wis, Oct Sd, 1851 re-
ceived a letter from my old friend and
fellow townsman, Nicholas Pirsch. 1t
took the ocean liner ten days from New
York to make Antwerp, Europe. He
was greatly surprised at the immense
size of those ocean Racers" what
they we're forty-two years ago, and
what they are now-perfect Leviath-
ians. He spoke of the cuisine aboard
ship as being very excellent. He
stopped over one night at Brussels. 1t
cost him two franks. All be could
hear was pourlions," the clatter of
wooden shoes, and all vehicles are
drawn by large dogs, making novel
sight to one unaccustomed to such
means of conveyance. His native
heath is seven miles from Gutenberg
The lay of the land is somewhat billy
and romantic, presenting to the eye
picturesque scenery. The meeting of
his three sisters after an absence of ~
years can better be imagined than de-
scrlbed. He said he enjoyed the trip
hugely. Judging from the tone of his
letter, he was far from being homesick
and made no mention when he thought
of returning. l.. A. ID.

the schools of her native city she was
student a. Milwaukee Downer college
for two years, going thence to La Sale
female college, near Boston, from
which she was graduated with high
rank in her class.
Miss Stephenson is six feet tall, a
brunette, of bright and amiable counte-
nance and altogether young woman OF
striking appearance. She is social
favorite at home, in Milwaukee, and
wherever she is known. Her selection
will give particular satisfaction to the
people of Marinette and Northern Wis
consin in general.
At the present time Miss Stephenson
is travelling in Europe with her cousin,
Miss Harriet Stephenson, Of Menoml-
nee, but she will start for home in a
few days and within a fortnight will
arrive in Wisconsin. She was appraised
of the high honor conferred upon her
by cablegram sent to Paris by her
mother from Marinette.
Having selected the young lady to
christen the ship, the battleship COM
mittee will now turn its attention to
the raising of fund to purchase a
testimonial to present to the Wiscon-
sin on behalf of the state. The COM
mittee requests that all contributions
to this fund be sent to the First Ma
tiOnal bank of Milwaukee.

UNDER FALSE PRETENSES.
Man Giving His Name as Hurd collects
Nearly 500 From Kenosha Merchants

Man Giving His Name as Hurd collects
Nearly 500 From Kenosha Merchants
Kenosha merchants have again
made themselves a party to the success
of a smooth sWindler and during the
past week a man claiming the name of
Hurd, purporting to be partner in
the firm of G.. 81. Hennings g. Co., of
Chicago, managed to beat his company
out of nearly $500, which was collected
for fruit sold to the different merchants
in the city.
The Chicago firm handles large
amounts of fruit and last Wednesday
their representative, Hurd, came to
Kenosha and took several large orders
for fruit and peaches, which were duly
delivered on Friday, when Hurd re-
turned and stated that he was one of
the partners of the wholesale firm and
desired to collect for the fruit, In this
he was successful and secured from
Lentz & Funck, $28. so; Levison & Co.,
$l8; George Hale, $2963; K. L..

with the cash but made no report of
his collections to the house in Chicago.
Saturday one of the proprietOrs Of
the Nebraska Cash store was in Chica
go and making a call at the wholesale
house he told about paying the sales
man for the fruit and discovered that
the fellow was not a partner and had
no right to make any collections for
the house. The matter was at once
reported to the police and every effort
is being made to catch Hurd.
Mr.. Hennings was in town today
attempting to settle the matter with
the local merchants.
Further developments go to show
that the man Hurd is an old offender,
and his proper name is Herman Kar
son. He travels under the names of
D. 81. Hurd and A. G. Bell and has
evidently been connected with crooked
business before. A warrant was sworn
out for his arrest today in this city
The Kenosha merchants will probably
be forced to loose the money and they
will find little sympathy, as nearly all
of them claim they suspected some
thing was wrong, but none made any
complaint to the police until the bird
had flown.

of Miss Gill.
" The Pines, " the home of the teach
ers of Kemper Hall, was the scene of a
very enjoyable gathering Monday
evening in honor of Miss CLIPS birth
day. The affair was arranged by the
faculty of the Hall and was complete
surprise to Miss Gill. The rooms were
prettily decorated with flowers and
plants and the occasion was made
more pleasant by the presence of few
of Miss Gill's dearest friends in the
city. During the evening mBny trio
utes we're paid to the guest Of the
evening and it is doubtful if any one
connected with Kemper Hall has so
enviable a record as Miss Gill. One OF
the features of the evening was The
reading of poem written by Miss
Adams to commemorate the annual
return of the natal day of the teacher
so universally beloved by faculty and
students alike. Refreshments were
served during the evening and the oc-
casion will always be remembered by
those present as one of the most pleas
ant evenings ever spent at the Pines.

Residents of Platteville will Emigrate to
Pleasant Prairie


Pleasant Prairie
The NEWS received a letter this
morning from some of the residents OF
PlatteviIle, which indicate that not
few of the families of the little Wiscon-
sin town will follow the removal of the
Latin & Rand works to the little
Kenosha county village. The letter is
as follows:
Platteville. Wis Oct 3, 1898.
EVENING NEWS.
Dear Sirs--Will you write up the
town of Pleasant Prairie and the sur
rounding country? as the people here
are thinking of following the powder
company if it will be for their benefit to
do so. As Kenosha is so near to
Pleasant Prairie We would like to know
something of it.
MARY j. LOOMS,
Platteville, Wis.
The little town OF Pleasant Prairie
will undoubtedly furnish pleasant
and cheerful home for the families who
may follow the company to this county.
Situated on the North Western rail-
road, it offers home with ready access
to the outside world. Property can be
purchased in close proximity to the
new factory at reasonable rates, and
homes suitable for the residences OF the
employees of the factory could be erect
ed at a reasonable cost The church
and school advantages are as good as
could be found in any of the districts of
the state, outside of the larger cities.
Pleasant Prairie is a small town, but
it boasts of two we'll regulated general
stores as we'll as post Office and the
usual village smithy's shop. With
proper encouragement plenty of Keno
sha capital will be found ready to be
invested and make it beautiful little
resident suburb of Kenosha. Ever
since the powder company has pur-
chased its site in this county the
scheme of running an electric line to
the station of Pleasant Prairie has been
favorably considered, and the near
future may see the city and country
connected in that manner.
Should any of the citizens of Platt
vile follow the works of Latin & Rand
to this city they will be assured royal
welcome, and no finer city of homes can
be found along the lake shore than our
beautiful city of Kenosha.
