THE following report from Washing
ton on the condition of the Wisconsin
banks, published in the Sentinel, is in
dicative of the status of business in
Wisconsin:
A statement of conditions of ma
tional banks of Wisconsin, outside of
Milwaukee, shows decidedly healthy
condition of business compared with
this time year ago, and decided i'm
provement compared with the state
ment made last April. According to
reports made by the banks at the close
of business, June so, the loans and
discounts aggregate $25, 500, 500 This
is So, 100000 greater than year ago
and 81 100000 greater than in April
The specie holdings at present aggre-
gate ST.. 923 ,474, an increase of $500, 00(
over last years statement. An increase
of more than $780, 900 is also noted in
the circulation of national bank notes
a marked addition to the circulating
medium as furnished by the banks
The individual deposit list also shows
heavy increase, the deposits of Wis
consin banks being $685. 6O a
present, which is nearly $2,OO0,00(
greater than in April last, and $4,000,
900 more than the banks held in July
1893, The average reserves of bank

National bank of Milwaukee.

ERAs of prosperity are, as usual
thing, unproductive of campaign issues
for either party; for the one in power
because of the fact that they are al
ready there and the existing conditions
are to large extent attributed to their
administrator of affairs; to the party
on the outside the season is equally
unproductive of issues, because, while
prosperity continues there is no demand
for change. For this reason the
Democratic party is making a great
noise in its attempts to discover and
settle upon an issue which does not ex-
ist, and the Republican party is living
sub rosa, so to speak, in no anxiety
after winning issues because they are
plenty in their vicinity.

Political Tide in the West.

No calamity party is in sight for
next year It's foundation has gone TO
pieces. Nebraska banks report de-
posts amounting to $2l, 100000. In
tho dark days of the Cleveland failure
and tie Bryan scare, the Nebraska
bank deposits amounted to only SILL
100000. They have doubled under a
Republican administration. Bryan, If
renomlnated, will be pushed hard in
Nebraska. Though state pride is On,
listed in behalf of second trial, the
Republican vote has grown since 1896
The fusion plurality last year was only
.2,72l for Governor, the Republicans
carrying the Legislature and gaining a
Senator. Bryan has no certainty in
Nebraska in 1900. In fact, the chances
are the other way. Some of the West
ern states in his list before are sure to
go against him next year. One of
these is Washington. Bryan's anti
Vows 6OVuAO VAA6o'
Washington is for commercial develop
ment on the Pacific. Its Republican
plurality last year was 1923, quite a
change from Bryan's 12,493 in 1896.
Kansas has parted company with the
silver party. It's Republican plurality
last year was 1870. Kansas and
Washington combined take fourteen
electoral votes from the Bryan column.
A change of l, 600 votes last fall would
have given Nebraska and South
Dakota to the Republicans. The
gains of Republican Congressman in
the transmississipi states last Novem
Der were remarkable, and mad the high
distinction of saving the House. All of
Nebraska's neighboring states are as
prosperous as itself, and can match it's
increase in deposits. Speaking in the
light of mathematical facts, Bryan's
prospects in the states west of the
Mississippi have generally faded. Fig
ures of all kinds prove it. Nor can he
count on gains east of the Mississippi,
unless in Kentucky, in which the
Democratic party at present is more
seriously divided than in 1896. The
facts in the case suggest change in
the Democratic candidate, but even
that might cost more votes than it
would gain. Prosperity, expansion and
sound money are winning combina-
ton. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

Created a Disturbance.

A pugnascious SWede made things
lively in the vicinity of Fred Palm
green's saloon late this afternoon. The
fellow had been hanging around the
locality for some time and Fred having
watched his capers made up his mind
that he would not permit him in the
saloon. Consequently when the fellow
tried to make an entrance he was met
by Mr.. Palmgreen at the door
and told to move on. He was
not exactly in the mood to obey orders,
but concluded that he would and start
ed up the street. He had not gone far
however, when he overlook and began
to abuse some of the ladies of Mr..
Palmgreen's household. On being
warned TO pass them by, he LETT
them and began inficting his attentions
on some of the Italians residing in that
section.
In order to frignten him off one of
the Italians fred a pistol into the air.
This seemed to infuriate the man and
he raised his fist to strike one of the
women, when Mr.. Palmgreen saw him
and jumping into the affair, dealt the
fellow blow in the face which felled
him, at the same time breaking Fred's
thumb. Officer OHare was summoned
at once and the fellow was lodged in
Jail.

WHEELMEN WILL HELP.
The Present Good Roads Movement is Not
Theirs, However.

The League of American Wheelmen,
Wisconsin division, will not become
identified with the good roads conven-
ton that has been arranged by the
Good Roads association. The officials
and members, however, will take hold
of the matter and do all in their power
to make the convention a successful
one and to arrange for the circuit of
conventions to be held throughout the
state.
Chief Consul Van Valkenburgh stated
that the division, would not take an
active part as an organization, because
of the prejudice OF the farmers in Wis
consin against the wheelmen. Mr.. Van
alkenburgh stated that while the
farmers in nearly all the other divisions
throughout the country are co-operat-
ing with the wheelmen in the effort to
secure good roads, there is strong
prejudice against the wheel on the par
of the Wisconsin farmers.

AN HoNoRED GUEST.
Commander Perry Garst Pays Visit to
Friends in This City.

Commander Perry Garst, late of the
q. S. monitor Terror was in Keno
sha Monday visiting his relatives he4 ..
In an interview with a representative
Of this paper he stated that the Terror
was the only Warship in the world
whose guns were manipulated entirely
by compressed air. When one of the
ten inch guns was fired the $50 pounds
of air made the recoil of the gun and it's
return to firing position as easy a mat
ter as the opening and closing of a
parlor door, and had about as much
effect upon the ship as the door would
upon house.
In speaking of the capture of the
Spanish boat Guido" Commander
Garst said he was we'll acquainted with
the Captain of the Guido, and when
captured he did not know there was a
war on with the United States, but
upon being told of that fact, he re-
marked in Spanish, what in English
would be to the effect that with his
knowledge of the two navies, he knew
that if they ever came together in one
battle, it was all off with the Spanish
navy.
Commander Garst returns next week
to Annapolis, where is instructor in the
Naval Academy.

IF any one wants an Illustration OF
the baleful effects of the protective
tariff let him turn to the matrimonial
industry in the State of Wisconsin.
Those engaged in that business in this
State report a stringeney in the mar
ket and the statistics bear them out.
After years of prosperity in that line
our dealers have had the bottom
knocked out of their business by the
adoption of discriminating duty. The
morning papers report seventeen mar
riages in ST. Joseph, Mich, on Sunday
which should by right and precedent
have come to the Badger State.

AGAINST THE REAL THING.
George Bash Makes Trouble in Saloon
and Is Forcibly Elected

ana 1S EOrC1D1y EJecG0Q.
George M. Bash, a stranger who
dropped into Kenosha Monday evening
to spend the evening, will probably re-
member the visit for some time. About
8 o'clock Monday night he was picked
up by officer Orth. and taken to the
county jail. The fellow was sight to
behold. He was bleeding from half a
dozen wounds, his nose was broken
and his eyes we're BACKED. As soon as
he had been made comfortable in the
county hotel he told the officers that he
had been up against the real thing
and had got theworst of the argument.
He said that he had dropped in to Ke-
nosha Monday evening and with a
friend had gone to the Kleist saloon on
the West side to get drink. The two
engaged in game of dice, at which
the friend seemed to have been the
loser A discussion arose as to the
status of the game and the two men
got to quarreling, whereupon John
Kleist, the manager of the saloon, pro
ceeded to throw them out. In per-
forming the operation, according to the
story of Bash, the saloon man called tC
his assistance several of the men in the
saloon, and when Bash was finally
landed on the sidewalk he had received
much the worse of the argument.

PLEA s 4EERnFs
The Old Maids League Hold Reunion
After Two Years of Separation.

After Two Years of separation.
One of the most pleasant events ever
held in the city was the reunion of the
Old Maids League which was held last
evening at the residence of Miss Anna
Kimball on Prairie avenue. The Old
Maids League is perhaps the best
known social organization in Kenosha,
but during the last two years the meet
ings of the league had been discon-
tinued on account of the fact that some
of the members of the league were far
from Kenosha. 1t was planned some
time ago to have the reunion in the
way of picnic but the weather was
not kind to the ladies and the program
was changed to the jolly card party at
the residence of Miss Kimball The
evening was spent in cards and music,
II Re songs of Mr.. Wheeler being one of
the features of the evenings amuse-
ment. At the close of the evening the
picnic luncheon was served. Those
who were present were: Mr.. and Mrs.
j. Keck Wheeler, who acted as chap
erones; Mesdames N. Allen, n. Rowe
and W. s. Forrest, Misses Lou Balm,
Belle Stebbins, Alice Lance, Josie
Fisher, Jane Swift, Bessie Stebbins and
Anna Kimball and Messrs Howard
Robinson, George Pugh, Douglas
Newell, Dick Welles, Walter Cavanagh,
Patterson, Lytle and Kimball.

BREACH OF PROMISE
BARBARA ok DEMANDS DAMAGES
FROM EER ERSTlYHILE over.
SAYS THAT HE Has ABsooNDED
And Thinks That 'ae Should Pay Her
$4,000 for Deceiving Her summons
Is Iss0ed but Jaeger Cannot be
Found in the City.

Kenosha is to enjoy the sensation oil
breach of promise suit, for yesterday
afternoon summons was delivered to
the sheriff of the county asking that
John Jaeger be apprehended and
brought into court to answer ii the
case Of Barbara ok VS.. John Jaeger
With the summons was issued writ oil
attachment to prevent Jaeger from
disposing of any of his property.
While the papers have not as yet been
filed in the clerks Office it is under
stood that the summons and the writ
of attachment are the preliminary steps
toward the filing of the suit for breach
of promise.
Miss Ok and Jaeger were to have
been married at st. Georges church on
the morning of July 14th, but on the
Sunday preceding this date it was
learned that the prospective bride
groom had disappeared from the city,
and at the request of the plaintiff in
the action now pending the banns were
not published and the wedding was
indefinitely postponed.
Miss DIX bore her disappointment in
a very composed manner and has since
made no efforts to find the missing
bridegroom and the suit is the first
action that she has taken in the matter
In the absence of the complaint itself
all that can be known in regard to the
suit is taken from the summons in
which Jaeger is demanded to appear
and answer to claim of $4,000. From
this it is cleaned that the young lady
values her affections at this figure.
The whereabouts of the defendant in
the action are still unknown and the
young lady in the summons alleges
that her intended husband "keeps
himself concealed in the state with
intent to avoid summons and that said
defendant has absconded from the
state".
The suit has been discussed a great
deal among attorneys today and it is
stated that it is the first action of the
kind ever filed in this county Miss
Ok is represented by attorney L. G..
Bohmrich and the general opinion is
that she has good case against Jaeger.
The story of the wedding, which
never occurred has been told before,
but it will be even of grea or interest
in the light of recent developments
The license had been secured and the
bans published twice, invitations had
been issued and Miss Ok had gone to
great expense in providing a trous-
seau to meet her liege lord at the altar.
On the Friday before the wedding was
to have occurred Jaeger bid the girl
good bye and disappeared from the
city. Since then nothing has been
heard OF him.
Miss Ok is we'll known among the
German population and is a daughter
of Bernhard Ok, of the town of Somers.
1t is reported that Jaeger is possessed of
considerable property. The announce
ment of the suit will cause a great
sensation among the friends of both
parties.
