Obituary.

Mrs. Mary Irving, widow of the late
John Irving, and one of the best known
ladies of the city, passed away at her
home last evening. The deceased was
65 years of age and for the past few
months has been confined to her bed
with Bright's disease.
Mrs. Irving was born in Ireland and
together with her husband came to
Kenosha in the early forties. She has
lived here ever since and by her kind
and cheerful manners she had made a
host of friends to whom the announce
ment of her death will come as per-
sonal sorrow. She is survived by three
daughters-Mrs. M. j. Brady, Misses
Charlotte and Tillie Irving, who have
the sympathy of large circle of friends.
The funeral will be held from St.
James church Thursday morning.

The streets and alleys COMMITTEES
was ordered to have the approaches to
Grand avenue bridge repaired at once.
The matter of continuing the paving
of Grand avenue 800 feet was laid on
the table, as the president of the Town
Board of the town of Somers has an
nounced that the Board will not assist
in the work.
The residents on South street were
ordered to put in the necessary gas and
water connections preparatory to paw
ing the street prior to the 1st of August.
After that date the connections will be
put in by the city and the cost charged

BICYCLE PATHS.
Question of Building Them Throughout
the State Again Being Agitated.

Several prominent cyclists have
undertaken to build cycle paths
throughout the state. About a week
ago Frank P. Van Valkenburgh, 81. l..
Marshall, F. G.. Cramer, Charles Eline,
Adolph Chopper and John M. Bandtel
took preliminary steps to organize the
Wisconsin Cycle Path Association.
Messrs. Van Valkenburgh and Mar
shall will draw up organization papers
and rough outline of a constitution
and bylaws, and these will be submit
ted at a meeting to be held the latter
part of the week, when it is expected
that the organization will be perfected.
The association will be Incorporated
and shares sold. Every effort will be
made to get as many riders as possible
to join. AS soon as enough money is
secured short path will be built. An
effort will be made to organize a
branch in nearly every city in Wiscon-
sin. A short path will be built this
year, probably from Milwaukee to
South Milwaukee, a distance of twelve
miles. The people at the latter place
have already become.interested and are
willing to give the necessary aid to the
building of such a path. They also
want to build path from there to
Racine. From Racine to Kenosha a
cycle path has been laid out for some
years. Last year the people of Keno
sha began the building of a path to
Waukegan, and it is expected that it
will be finished before the close of the
season. From Waukegan there is a
boulevard which extends to Chicago,
and should the work of the Wisconsin
Cycle path association materiolize the
prospects are bright for a path from
Milwaukee to Chicago.

AN INTERESTING CHARACTER
Louis Keuck Reported Very Ill at His
Home in Pleasant Prairie

Louis Keuck Reported Very Ill at His
Home in Pleasant Prairie.
A report from Pleasant Prairie says
that Louis Keuck. one of the we'll
known residents of the little village, is
very seriously i'll with erysipelas.
Keuck, who is now nearly Is years of
age, is one of the most interesting
characters in the county and could the
story of his life be told it would make
book of rare interest. He is a resident
of the county and has met with misfor-
tune. Many years ago he was living
with his parents in the East. He re-
ceived an excellent education. By
nature he was a mechanic and the
walls of his room at the home of his
nephew, Herman Keuck, are covered
with mechanical drawings and even
now the old man finds his only pleasure
in turning to his drawings and working
out some new scheme which had found
Judgment in his fertile brain.
Some years after he left his home in
the East be was working on railway
in New York, and the train on which
he was running was wrecked. All the
train hands were supposed to have
been killed. However, Keuck was
taken to a hospital and lived Later
be moved to the west, and soon he be-
cane the inventor of what is known as
the Darrell safe. The inventor reyo-
lutionized for some time tie manufac-
ture of safes in this country, and at one
time Keuck was offered SIS, 900 for his
patent This he refused to accept and
held that the patent was worth $780,,
900. Later he started factory, but
the wheel of fortune turned against
him and he was forced to give up the
business. He lost all that he had made
and with ruined fortune he came to
Kenosha county to live the declining
years with his nephew.
His life has been a sad one indeed,
and all who have visited him can not
but be impressed with the fact that
the memories of better and happier
days still are the inspiration of his life.

his way to fortune. For awhile he
wrote to his friends in this city, but the
letters came only at long intervals and
finally they stopped altogether. When
last heard of about five years ago he
was working at Ledyard, Iowa. Since
that time no word has been received
from him.
When the father, William Lynch,
grew seriously i'll an effort was made to
reach the missing son but all tho letters
addressed to him we're returned un-
opened and all efforts resulted in fail

him up for dead, but this the father
refused to believe and few years ago
when he made his will be placed in it
an Inheritance for the missing boy
with the understanding that it should
never be paid to any one else.
AS soon as the telegram was received
at this Office it was taken to the resi-
dence of the relatives of the missing
man in this city, and they were highly
delighted to hear that the son and
brother had been found. They will
communicate with him at once and the
reunion, while saddened by the an
nouncement OF the loss of a loving
father, will undoubtedly be a happy
one.
