QOST OF TEE WINTER GIRL.

@THE winter girl Is not content with
 one or even two kinds of fur wraps;
 her wardrobe must contain furs for
 all occasions. She will have collar of ermine, a jacket of broad-tail. stone marten boa, fur-lined cape, skating gown trimmed with fox etc.
 You see it costs a great deal to be a typical winter girl. However, one can have a reasonable variety of furs without goin~ to an exaggerated expense. Little touches of fashionable fur in the form of dainty neckwear give the much-de- sired finish to simple toilets. To be sure, they must be built upon the very latest model What could be prettier and more fiattering, for example, than a certain collar of marten. The fur, cut in one long strip a little wider than a regular collar band, is arranged in and out in the shape of loops attached to a straight strip of satin just long enough to encircle the neck. The fastening in front is covered with bunch of marten tails or a pretty bow of colored panne centered upon a ieWeIed buckle.

 Is. 1t ought to be, but 1t isn't; for,

 However, it must come soon, and as in times of peace it is well to prepare for war, let the sensible woman hie her to a shoe store and invest in pair of calf skin boots with good half-inch thick soles.

THE GRAND RALLY,
SIMMONS HALL Is FILLED WITH
PATRIOTIC CITIZENS.
MUCH ENTHUSIASM DISPLAYED
Speeches by Jas. Cavanagh, w. w. Strong,
A. E. Buckmaster, Mayor Petit and
L. G. Bohmrich-Twen five Names
Added to the Roll.

An enthusiastic audience greeted
Capt. Miller and his volunteers Friday
night at Simmons Hall. The speakers
of the evening were Hon. Jas. Cavan-
agh, Col. W. W. Strong and A. E.
Buckmaster. The volunteers were
lined up in the back of the hall and
from facial expressions it was gathered
they felt the full gravity of the stu
alton.
Capt. Miller, in behalf of the volun-
teers, opened the meeting and in a few
we'll chosen words introduced James
Cavanagh.
Mr.. Cavanagh spoke for fifteen min
utes and emphasized the fact that the
first perquisite of a good soldier was
perfect obedience. His words con-
corning the Kenosha boys going to the
front were wildly applauded by both
citizens and volunteers.
Col. Strong was next introduced and
in short, but impressive speech, told
the boys several interesting notes of the
Wisconsin regiments which left for the
seat of war several days ago. And in
closing he said he was in a position to
receive the names of any men who de-
sired to volunteer in the 18th Wisconsin
Infantry, Major Philip Reed, of $50
West Water street, Milwaukee, COM
handing.
By this time the vocal talent, con-
sisting of Miss Emma Stebbins, Miss
Head, j. Keck Wheeler and Mr.. Cooper
arrived, and the Star Spangled Banner
was sung. Then America was rem
dered and the hall resounded with the
patriotic demonstrations of the people.
Capt. Miller then introduced Mr..
Buckmaster, who reused the audience
to high pitch of enthusiastic patriot
ism with few we'll chosen words. He
told the men that the distinction won
by being even a private soldier was SO
great that their names would never
disappear from the honor roll of the
nation.
My Country IT'S of Thee" was
then sung and everybody joined in the
chorus. The hall was again filed with
patriotic demonstration.
Hardly had the music ceased when
some one called out Mr.. Petit. After
calling for the Mayor for two minutes,
he responded and in a few words ex-
pressed his views on the present all
important topic. He told how in the
rebellion of 81 he had seen the Keno
sha boys start off to war and he was
glad to be able to see the next gener-
alton start off in the same way.
Mr.. Bohmrich was then called for
and was greeted with great enthusiasm.
He spoke very impressively and was
received with great applause.
Capt. Miller then rose to state that
the roll would be opened for the bene-
fit of those who wished to volunteer
and the meeting closed.
After the meeting twenty-five men
signifed their willingness to give their
lives to the service of their country.

NEARING THE END.
Strike at the Allen Tannery May End at
Any Time-Men Return to Work.

Any Time-Men Return to Work.
Notwithstanding the fact that both
sides seem defiant, it is stated on good
authority that the strike at the Allen
tannery will close in few days and the
victory will be won by the laborng
men. Mr.. Allen has already consented
to re-employ them at an advance of
wages in nearly every part of the plant
and it is thought that when large
number of men have accepted this the
back of the strike will be broken and
the remainder will return to work at
once. Twenty-siX men have applied
for work and all have been re- employed
without question. This is thought to
be an example of the action to be pur-
sued by the managers and if the men
are not willing to return under these
circumstances the plant will be shut
down indefinitely. Mr.. Theirs stated
today that the managers of the tam
merry have made all arrangements, aud
if necessary they were ready to run at
very limited rate for year.
The Aliens began yesterday shipping
hides away from the city, and very
little surplus will be kept on hand.
The sympathy of the people seems to
be largely with the strikers. and it is
said that they have secured the prom

noon the strikers had out subscrip-
ton paper to raise funds for the strik-
ers and their families until the fedora
ton comes to their relief. The paper
was very we'll received and large sums
we're subscribed by nearly every one
who was asked. There has been no
suffering as yet, aud from all indica-
tions the strikers friends are amply able
to take care of them as long as they
are able to hold out against the en-
ployers.

A TERRIBLE PLIGHT.
City Oficials Make Some Terrible Discov-
cries on Wisconsin Street

cries on Wisconsin Street.
The chief of police sand District At
torney Buckmaster made some start
ling discoveries Monday afternoon,
which bring to light some facts that it
is hardly thought possible to be found
in place like Kenosha. The discov-
cry was made in the residence Of r.
Hull, on Wisconsin street, and accord
ing to the officers theS.case should be
investigated and some change made at
once.
The wife of Hull is demented and
has been bedridden for some time, and
the officers declare that the woman
has not had .yproper),care. A visit to
the house found the old @lady sur
rounded by mass of dirt and rags,
which produced an odor that would
cause the hardest man to hesitate.
The filth in the house was fully one
inch thick, and from all appearances
the house has not been cleaned for sew
eral months at least. The old lady
when seen was propped up on broken
down bed by means of chair, and
was so cOvered3with vermin and sores
that none of the officers would touch
her. Wallowing in her own filth she
has been too proud to ask for assist
ance from the city, and the old man
declares he has not sufficient money to
provide treatment. The chief ordered
the place cleaned out at once and or
dered the doctor in charge to at once
send a woman there to take charge of
the old lady and superintend the clean
ing of the house.

THREE STRIKERS ARRESTED
But Released on Promise to Appear Before
Justice Slater Next Friday.

But Released on Promise to Appear Before
Justice Slater Next Friday.
A small disturbance was caused at
the tannery Friday evening by three
strikers, who attempted to keep John
Zimmerman, one Of the fremen, from
working. Zimmerman was on his way
to work and was accompanied by
Charles Allen and E. c. Theirs. Some
of the strikers attempted to talk to
him and keep him from work when Mr..
Allen and Mr.. Theirs came up. Ac-
cording to the story the men caught
hold of Mr.. Allen and the police were
at once called and arrested three of the
men for attempting to keep man
from his work. The men were taken
to the jail, but on the request of their
former employer, were taken before
Justice Slater and released on the
| promise to appear for trial next Friday.
No Violence whatever was done by
any of the men and they were only at
tempting to argue with the fireman.
The strike is not yet settled, but the
efforts thai are being put forth by both
sides will undoubtedly bring success in
the near future.
R. O. Jea1deau, member of the
state baard of arbitration, was here to-
day and had long conferences with
both the managers and the committee,
who are representing the strikers. He
say that Goth the Aliens and the men
are very DESTROYS of ending the trouble
and both are making very fair propo
sitions for a compromise.

In regard to the statements made in
the Gazette and Labor Herald, in
speaking Of the position the News has
taken On tue strike, we have only this
to say: That we have done our best to
give the news in regard to the strike in
an unbiased manner. In regard to the
man being struck with brick we gave
only the facts. The man was a laborer
named Oleson, who boarded with
Mrs. A. Lumquist, at the corner OF
Jenne and Aida streets. It is true
that he was not seriously injured, but
the News did not report him as such
The action of the reporter of the Daily
Gazette was made wholly without any
investigation, and as far as the Labor
Herald is concerned we do not care tC
discuss with them any question in
which the editor is so personally inter
ested. We make this statement not
for the sake of inviting argument, but
simply for the purpose of furnishing
undeniable proof for the statement
published in the News.

Senator Smiths Probable Successor

Next January the legislature of
New jersey will, barring unforeseen

Jersey TWO Republican Senators for
at least two years, as General Sewells
term does not expire until March 3,

had as colleague Alexander G.. Cat
tell, Republican, who in turn gave
way to Mr.. Frelinghuysen again. In
