off Lowlands Point, near Coverack,
Cornwall, early on Sunday morning,
while on her way to New York from

The weather continues favorable to
the stranded ship. A light wind is
blowing, and there is no serious

Paris to be resting more favorably,
owing to the fact that she has been
considerably lightened.
Should the steamer show signs of
sinking when taken in tow, it is pro-
posed to run her on fiat sandy beach
adjoining the place where she stranded.
A high official Of the American Line
says the prospects Of saving the Paris
arc more hopeful than ever.

Company Will Go Into Camp With It's
Full Compliment of Sixty Men.
There was a large turn out of the
members Of Company L at the regular
weekly drill last evening and at this
meeting the final arrangements were
completed for the coming week in
camp. All the general orders from the
state officials were read and each Of the
men were given one of the blue shirts
which will be part of the fatigue mi
form which will be worn at Camp
Douglas. The general orders provide
that the Kenosha company will meet
the FIT. Atkinson company at ElrOy and
the two companies will proceed to-
gether from this point to Camp Doug
las. On account of the fact that Capt.
Miller is the senior captain of the two
companies he will have charge after
the union is made at Elroy. The boys
were informed that during the week in
camp and during the days travel to
and from camp the strictest military
discipline will be demanded. All the
men will be required to remain in ranks
during any stops that may be made. In
regard to the arrangements for the
trip the men were notified that they
will be expected to take one days
rations with them from home and they
will also be forced to carry with them
all the necessities to keep them neat
and clean.
1t is thought the Kenosha company
will go into camp with its full compli-
ment of sixty men. Nearly that null-
Der have signifed their intention of
going to Camp Douglas and more ar0
expected to fall into line when the
boys leave on next Saturday. The
Kenosha company are laying plans to
make the week very pleasant one.
Besides the experience of soldier life
they will gain many of them have ar
ranged hunting parties and if the
sport is allowed great times will result.
Capt Mcclellan, who is member of
the company, will take with him
large number of the Athletics base ball
team and he hopes to be able to fill all
vacancies with the members of the
company. If any of the other COM
panies are so lucky as to have a team
the camp will be turned into tourna-
ment of sport and it is expected that
the Kenosha company will win laurels
on the athletic field.

Paper in Bottle Tells Of the Identity of

A we'll known resident of Kenosha,
while walking along the lake shore to-
day founC' note in bottle which may
be responsible in solving one of the
greatest mysteries which ever occurred
in the West.
In the beginning of August, 1898,
John Hill, resident of Austin, one Of
the suburbs of Chicago, started war
against the gamblers in the little vii
lage and on the night of August IL of
the same year the residence of the cru
sader was blown up by dynamite. The
case was the puzzle of the Chicago
police for many weeks. Many arrests
were made and as many men were re-
leased. Finally the police came to the
conclusion that the house had been
blown up by Hill himself and the mat
ter of looking for the criminals was
given up, The note which was found
near this city today and which has
been turned over to the police pretends
to clear up the mystery of the explos-
ion. 1t is single sheet of paper and
has been scrubbed with lead pencil.
It bears the date of June II, 1899. The
note reads as follows:
"Persons responsible for the Hill"

The appearance OF the note goes to
show that it is all that it pretends to
be. The paper shows plainly that it

find and are investigating the case,

WIN A GREAT MATCH.
KENOSHA GOLFERS TAKE A FALL
OUT OF THEIR OLD RIVALS.
EDGEWATER BADLY DEFEATED
Kenosha Team Wins the Great Match by
Score of Is Up.-Aiken and
Allen win the Honors of
the Game

The thirteen sturdy golfers of the
Kenosha Country club who lett this
city in the rain Saturday morning to
try conclusions with their rivals, the
Edgewater team, returned home Sat-
urday evening bearing the laurel
wreath of victory. 1t was remark
able contest, and the Kenosha players
did some remarkable playing. When
the game closed, Notwithstanding the
fact that the Kenosha team had been
playing on links which were not
familiar to them, the score showed
balance in their favor of sixteen holes.
1t was the second real contest which
the home team had participated in this
year, and their great victory places
them at once in the ranks of the leaders
for honors in the Western Golf Asso-
citation lace. The heavy rain which
had blighted the hopes of the golfers
during the early morning hours, left
the grounds in ideal condition and the
ideal weather in the afternoon drew a
large number of Edgewater and Keno
sha enthusiasts to the scene of the
contest.
The team presented by the Edge
water club was composed of the star
players of the little village, and they
had long record of victories to assist
them in the game. Notwithstanding
this fact the Edgewater players in
every instance save two, finished down
to the KenOsha players.
The most exciting match of the day
was between James Kehlor and j. L.
Stack, who finished the eighteen holes
even up. S. G. Love and Fl. Latham
were the only two of the Edgewater
team who handed in winning scores.
Chalfant, of the Kenosha team, got
caught in the woods, and Love de-
feated him by a score of two up. Guy
Simmons was out of form, and for this
reason he was easy for Latham, who is
one of the stars Of the Edgewater CLUB,
and he was defeated by the large score
of IA down.
The best medal play of the day was
dOno Oy CnesC6r Alien, Cn6 honOsna
champion, and G. Fl. Tobey, of the
Edgewater team Both made the
circuit of the eighteen holes in 96
strokes. But Allen did far the most
brilliant playing, and defeated his
opponent by score of 7 up, while
Tobey was defeated by L. M. Eichel-
man bv a score of down.
To Capt. Aiken belongs the honor of
winning by the largest score, as he
defeated his opponent by a score of
s up. Following the game the Keno
sha guests were entertained in a very
hospitable manner by the members of
the Edgewater club.
The score of the contest follows:
