PEOPLE WE KNOW.
They Are Kenosha People and What They
say is of Local Interest.

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home it is bound
to carry weight with our readers.
When so many stranger occurrences
go the rounds of the press, are pub
1ished as facts, when the intelligent
reader knows they can't be true, there
is no wonder people become skeptica1.
On one subject skepticism is rapidly
disappearing. This is due to the act
ua1 personal experience of our citizens
and their public utterances regarding
them. The doubter must doubt no
more in the face of such evidence as
this. The public statement of repu-
table citizen living right here at home,
one whom you can see every day,
leaves no ground for the skeptic to
stand on.
Mrs. Chas. Clark, of 500 Bond St.,
says: ''My husband and 1 both rsed
Doan's Kidney Pills and found them
to be most worthy remedy. l was
troubled with a lame back for long
time and it was much worse whenever
1 took cold. We procured Doan's Kid
ney Pills at Starkweather & Co.'s
drug store and I commenced taking
them. They relieved me almost at
once, and I have not been troubled
with my kidneys since. My husband
suffered from lame and sore back so
that he could not work, in fact, could
hardly get around the house. His kid
neys showed symptoms of being in a
very bad way. In three days after he
began taking Doan's Kidney Pills he
was able to return to his work and
since the treatment he has been feeling
we'll. have recommended this remedy

every case they have been greatly
benefited by the preparation"

want It Reset.

A committee of Union brick and
stone masons called on w. H. Morse
who is putting up the Soldiers monu-
ment in the park, this after
noon, and requested him to
have the base taken up and reset
by union men. The union men claim
that the stone is not properly set and
was not set by union men. Mr.. Morse
claims he is more capable of judging
about that matter than Kenosha
masons as he has been at the business
since he was boy and that everything
is all right as it is.

Agency Department of Sterling to be Car
ried On From a Chicago Office.
E. P. Cha1fant, one of the former
managers of the Sterling Cycle works,
is in the city making arrangements to
move the agency department of the
big plant to Chicago. This is the first
change announced by the big trust in
regard to the management of the fac
tory. The plan is to work the sale of
the Sterling wheels in connection with
the sale of cheaper wheel to be manu-
featured by the Western Wheel works
at Chicago. In order to make the
business in the most central location
it has been found advisable to remove
this department of the Kenosha plant
to it's old location in Chicago. This
removal will not in any way effect the
working of the plant in this city, The
company will continue to turn out
Sterling wheels and to turn them out
in greater quantities than ever before.
The only change will be that number
of the agents of the company who have
made their home in this city will be
forced to change their place of resi-
dence to Chicago. The work of re-
moving this department of the plant
will be completed this week.

ANNIE KENDRICK WALKER,
The Greene Christmas Tree
For the Little Ones

The little ones who are sheltered at the
Mercy Home will not be forgotten at Yule
tide. The dreams of their little hearts will
be realized and Christmas will not be mere
iy a name According to the usual custom
of the Creche the members will arrange a
Christmas tree at the Mercy Home for the
children, who otherwise would be deprived
of the pleasures which come SO beautifully
to the more fortunate little ones.
1t is to the parents of these children and
to the man and woman who are ENJOYING
the Christmas shopping, and the prospect
of making so many little faces glow with
happiness on Christmas morning, that the
members of the Creche appeal to remember
the homeless children, whose little impulses
may be Just as glad and whose little hearts
may throb with happiness, Like unto that of
the petted children, who scampers down
the stairway on Christmas morning into
the holly decked room.
The women who will arrange the tree at
the Mercy Home will be glad to receive any
contribution from the charitab!y inclined
persons in the city. The members of the
Creche suggest that in the midst of the
Christmas shopping small amount could
be put aside for the purchase of a toy that
would bring such happiness to a little child
that hsps its prayer at the Mercy Home.
The wealthy children of the city could not
be taught a nobler lesson than that offered
by the Christmas offerings, and there are
not many children whose little i.earts do
not quickly respond to the sorrows of the
less fortunate ones. The generous impulses
of children are never more apparent than
at Christmas, which is so essentially
happy time for children.
And the Telinquishing of toy. the very
fact that they are thinking of the happiness
of another child, can be made simple les
son of unselfishness.
There are between forty and fifty children
at the Mercy Home. Whether Christmas
Day will mean anything more to them than
other wintry days depends upon the prac-
tical charity at the Yule tide season. The
tree for the little ones will be arranged on
Saturday, December %. Contributions may
be sent at any time to Mrs. R. F. Johnston,
2O35 Highland avenue, or to Mrs. E. M.
Tutwiler, at Seventh avenue and Twenty
first street.

ACCOUNT OF GILMoRE's CAPTURE.
Escaped Prisoner Furnishes Informa-
ton Concerning RaIer Amir

Escaped Prisoner Furnishes Informa-
ton Concerning Baler Affair.
| MANILA, Dec. 1.-10:30 a. m.-When the
landing party from the Oregon under Lieu
tenant Commander McCraken took the town
OF Vigan last Saturday, it found there an
escaped prisoner, A. L. Sonnenshein. who
furnished the first authentic account of the
| appearance Of Lieutenant j. c. Gilmore of
| the Yorktown, who with a party of the
| Yorkton was captured by the insurgents
near Baler' on the east coast of Luzon last
| April, while making an examination of the
mouth Of the river in an armed boat Mr.
Sonnonshein was imprisoned at Abra for a
long time with Lieutenant Gilmore and
seven sailors, but contrived to escape car
rying concealed note written in naval
| cipher, dated Abra, November 49, addressed
| to ''Any Naval Officer?" and saying: "You
may have perfect confidence in anything the
bearer says The note was signed Gil
| more"
According to Mr.. Sonnenshein, when Lieu
tenant Gilmore's launch entered the river
from Baler harbor under cover OF Ensign
w. H. Standley's gun, the landing was re-
ceived with three volleys. Two Of the
Americans were killed and two mortally
wounded. Every man was hit Lieutenant
Gilmore receiving a flesh wound in the leg
and his foot stuck fast in the mud. 1t was
choice between being slaughtered or
surrendering. Lieutenant Gilmore asked
the terms Of surrender. The insurgents
proposed that he should secure the delivery
to them of the arms and munitions OF the
Spanish garrison and il this were ac-
complished to send the Spaniards and
Americans to the Yorktown.
A sailor of Lieutenant Gilmores patry
carried this proposition to the garrison.
The Spanish commander replied that it was
an insult to Spanish arms and expelled the
sailor. Spanish soldier firing on him as
he went.
The Americans were bound hand and foot
and taken TO San Isidro, where General Luna
ordered their execution. They were marched
10 the plaza and in the presence of a great
crowd were aligned to be executed Lieu
tenant Gilmore said:
"As an American officer and gentleman
/ protest against being shot with my hands
tied"
Aguinaldo interfered and prevented the
execution
When General Lawton approached San
Isidro last June the Americans were removed
10 Abra, ,ewhere they were kept confined in
cells for two months. Subsequently they
were allowed greater liberty, but the report
that Lieutenant Gilmore was given a house
and servant is untrue. He had the same
quarters as the men and the Americans were
given the same allowance as the Spanish
prisonefs-5 cents a day with which to buy
rice and bananas virtually the only rations.
