Bureau-Thought the Sailors Took to
Boats Too Soon.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24-superin-
tendent Kimball, of the lIte-savlng bu-
reau, tonight received the following:
British steamer Ariosto, Captain
Barnes, stranded at ocracoke Beach at
4 o'clock this morning. Twenty-one
drowned and nine saved in breeches
buoy.
"(slgned) HOWARD, Keeper"
Superintendent Klmball tomorrow
Will instruct Lieutenant Johnson. OF
the revenue cutter service. who is at
tached to his office, to proceed to the
scene Of the wreck and make report
OF the circumstances attending the loss
of life. This is the practice always fol-
lowed by the life.saving service when
there is loss of life attending an acct
dent to a steamer to which the surf
men have given assistance. The super
intendcnt believes that the distressing
loss OF life is probably due to the hur-
ried efforts Of the men to get away
from the ship, instead OF waiting until
the breeches buoy could be rigged up
between the ship and shore and their
rescue effected. AS the vessel appears
still to be in good condition. the men,
he thinks, might have remained on her
an indefinite time before there was any
real danger OF losing their lives. Ships
hands Of deep water" boats. he
thinks. take boats too often, practice
not followed by men devoted to coast
navigation, who realize the opDortuni-
ties for rescue by the breecheS buoy.

WATER COMMISSIONERS MEET.
The Factories and Large Consumers to be-
Put on Meters.

The Water Commissioners held
regular meeting Tuesday evening,
The usual routine business was trans
acted and bids for laying the new pipe
extensions were opened. VIM. David
son was found to be the lowest bidder
and was awarded the contract, the
price paid being % cents per foot
everything furnished except the pipe
which is already on the ground. This.
bid includes going under the river at
Middle street.
The matter of the excessive use OF
water came up, and the Clerk was in
structed to get the fiat meter rates
charged by cities along the Lake shore
for large users of water, and with the
help of the figures obtained, make
meter rate for all large consumers OF
water in Kenosha. The object is to-
give cheap fiat meter rate, and after
january 1, 1900, compe1 al t1sc faeto-
ries and large consumers to put IA
meters.
This course has been made necessary
on account of the large amount OF
water being wasted by the larger con"
sinners.

GRAHAM & MORTON COMING.
will Have Charge of Line of Boats Between
This City and Chicago Next Season.

The announcement made in this pa
per that the Graham & Morton trans
portation company, of Benton Harbor,
Mich, would operate a line of boats
between this city and Chicago during
the coming year has been confirmed.
This morning this paper received a
letter from the big company in which
they indicated that they were giving
great deal of attention to this city and
while no positive statement was made
it is almost certain that the boats of
the company will touch at the Kenosha
docks as soon as the season opens
again. The Daily Palladium, of Ben
ton HaEbor, in recent issue speaks of
the company purchasing two new
boats and in speaking of the purchase
of the Mary which will be placed on
the Chicago-Kenosha line the paper
says:
''The Mary is one of the speediest
boats on the Great Lakes, being the
only passenger boat on the lakes built
on the model of Hershoff, the famous
designer of fast ocean yachts. She is
126 feet long, 20 feet beam, carries 60C
passengers and makes % miles an
hour. She will be brought here, lifted
up an( put on the Chicago, Waukegan
and Kcnosha line.
Tn purchase is Independent of the
efforts Of the company to find and D1y
or lease a fast side-whee1er for the
| Chicago Benton Harbor run. They
expect 50 operate five steamboats, next
season
The Mary will probably arrive here
Saturday"

in the Myers Building.

Henry Dickhaut has moved his bar
ber shop from the Old room in the
basement of the Ca1kins building 10 a
new room prepared especially for him
in the basement of the new Meyers
building.
The Dickhaut shop is one of the
landmarks OF old Southport. In the
early days it was the one shop in the
town and was the rendezvous of the
old crowd which was so willing to
make the shop the 1oafing place. The
shop was first opened by Adam Dick
haut, the father of the present owner,
4 little over forty-five years ago, and
since that time it has never been
closed. Many changes of location
have been made since the center o.
population has moved from ne North

anlount of patronage FL the shop.
among the custome1a today are to De

never been shaved in any other shop ii
the city and they are willing to ta1o
1any 1ong wait rather than bree !,

In nov g into the new quarters
Mr. Dickhaut has added quite mater

THE AFTERMATH.
Attendants at the st. George Church Fair
Celebrate It's Successful Ending.

AbbSuudnbS dG GuS 81. GEORGE IuuTCD FAN
Celebrate It's Successful Ending.
The merriest evening of the week In
connection with the St. George Fair
at the church hall, occurred Monday
evening when all the people who had
1abored for the success of the enter
tainment gathered at the hall for a
dinner and final settlement of all the
affairs of the entertainment.
A large company was present, and
jest and jo11ity reigned supreme. In
the early part of the evening a stump
tuous supper was served, and after
supper the entire hall was turned over
to the merry makers. Dancing and
singing made the evening pass very
rapidly. The one feature of the even
ing's entertainment which was espec~
tally noteworthy, was a German dance
given by Mrs. Smith, one of the ladies'
who had worked hardest for the sue
cess of the fair. In an old pair of
wooden shoes she created great deal
of amusement.
At the end of the dance Father Els
kamp lifted the lady to one of the,
tables and offered the shoes that had
caused the success of the dance, at
auction. Whether it was the memory
of the dance or the dancer that gave
them value, the shoes were eagerly
sought for and the bidding was very
| brisk, and when they were finally sold
they netted the treasury of the society
| a neat sum.

WEIGHT OF THE mail
Postmaster Burg Sends the Post
master General an Interesting
Report From Kenosha.
$4,000 POUNDS IN A MONTH

Report Shows the Great Amount of Bust
ness That Is Being Done by the Local
office in All Branches of the Postal De-
partment-Foreign Business Shown TO be
Exceedingly Large-First Glass Matter
Reaches $500 Pounds Month.
During the month just ended the post
office officials have been very busy, for
according to the orders Of Uncle Sam,
every piece of mail handled in the local
office has been weighed and the weights
carefully kept. OF course the result is
very interesting and shows that the
local office has been doing monr-
mental business.
The report, as made up, covers the
period between October Sd and Noven1-
Der 9th, and while the postmaster re-
ports that the month has been very
light one in comparison with the mails
at other seasons of the year, the report
which he has forwarded to the post
office department. will show that even
under these unfavorab1e circumstances
the business of the office is consider
AMY larger lndIl dI OhG mas SNCA 9tA9
pected.
In comparing the reports with those
sent out from other cities about the
state the comparison is favorable to
Kenosha and will certainly place the
city among the first ten of the users OF
Unc1e SAINTS messenger service in
Wisconsin.
AS this is the first time that the mails
have ever been weighed it is not posi-
ole to contrast the business with t418t
of any former yea /, but the increaoe in
the population and industrial activity
III the city is sufficient to show that the
advance during the year has been a
large one.
During the month the office has ham
diced a total Of over $4,000 pounds of
mail, or a total Of 900 pounds of mail a
day. OF this amonnt a large share
has been first class matter, which has
largely come from the great CORES
pondence business Of the different in
dustria1 institutions in The city. The
report also shows the large number of
foreigners in the city and the mail to
and from Kenosha to foreign countries
in a month has amounted to over 40
pounds. Second and third class Inat-
ter handled by the office has been very
small and large proportion OF it has
been local, while scarcely any of it was
carried out of the county. The report
of the Postmaster III full is given
below:

Gently, bringing with them two deer.
AS soon as the meeting in the lodge

invited to the restaurant to enjoy a
banquet fit for king. The evening
proved very jolly one indeed. The
guests of honor were Senator John f.
Reynolds, of Randall, and Comfy
Agci y l4onnernan. OF course tbs
feminine gender was eliminated and
for this reason the freedom of the BAN

During the serving of the many

A meeting of the Southeastern Wis
Consin Good Roads Association, or
gained at a good roads convention In
Racine October 20, was held in Racine
last night. The members of the Keno
sha and Racine County Board were
present. The purpose of the meeting
was to elect vice presidents. The nec~
essity of a permanent fedora depart
ment was discussed, and the collection
Of taxes in money, instead of the old
system of leaving the farmers do the
work in lieu of taxes was favored. 1t
was unanimously agreed that the old
system was failure, and that mill
tax in cash was worth more than
mills under the old system.
The members"of the Racine County
Board will visit Kenosha this
evening and a plan will be formulated
for doiug away with the old road tax
md a law for a cash tax passed. SEN
ator John Reynolds is heartily in favor
of his plan, and will work in the next
