SALOON BILL KILLED.
ASSEMBLY RECONSTRUCTED THE BILL
WHICH PASSED 1T.
HOW IT WILL AFFECT KENosHA.
Ordinance Before the Council Not Directly
Affected, but as the Bill Was Killed
Because 1t was Unconstitutional,
Ordinance May be Killed.

The assembly Wednesday afternoon
receded from its position on the Sned-
don bill, No 155a, providing that 60
saloon shall be kept within $50 feet Of
any school or church, and after recon
sidering the vote by which the bill was
passed Tuesday, killed It. When the
motion of Mr.. Cashin to reconsider the
vote had been adopted, Gen. Bryant
said that he had some doubts of the
c0nstitutioDality of the bill, and moved
that it be referred to the Judiciary
committee to have that point consid-
cred. The motion was lost. Mr.. Hall
called Tor the yeas and nays, on the
question of the engrossment of the bill
and his demand being sustained by
enough members, a roll cali was or
dered Before the question could be
put, however, Mr.. Baldock made a
short speech saying that the bill would
cause hardship to many saloonkeepers
of the state who had invested their
property in a business within the pre-
scribed area, and could not readily
move. This was especially the case in
the country villages. The roll was
then called and the bill was lost by a
vote Of 81 to 40
There is no county in the state in
which the progress of this law has
been watched with greater interest
than in Kenosha county, and it's failure
to pass will cause great regret among
the opponents to the saloon in
Kenosha. The action on the bill has
been watched with great interest by
the aldermen in the city on account or
it's bearing upon the ordinance of a
similar nature now pending before the
council The provisions of the ordi-
nance are not in any way effected by
the nom passage of Mr.. Sneddon's bill,
beyond the fact that if the bill was
defeated, as reported, on the ground
that it was not constitutional there
would be small chance OF such city
ordinance holding good if a test should
be made of it before the higher courts
of the state or nation.

moClures Magazine for March.

The March McClure's is an unusual

Of his plans and hopes for the new ex-
ploration for the North Pole, in the
prosecution of which he is now estab-
lished somewhere in the vicinity of
Lincoln Sea, 80 or SO degrees north
latitude. No less interesting in their
several ways, and scarcely less strik-
ing, are a series of "Sketches in
Egypt" drawn by Charles Dana Glib
son, with some genial comment and de-
scription written by the artist himself;
some entirely new "reminiscences Of

in his series of papers "The War Oh

that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure

the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a

PLEASANTLY ENTERTAINED.
Miss Carrie Russell Enterta1ns the Bon
Ami Club.


The Bon Ami club, the only one of
Kenosha's merry making organizations
that Lent has no terrors for, held a
very delightful meeting last evening at
the rome of Miss Carrie Russell on
Congress street. About thirty guests
we're present, and the evening was one
of the jolliest ever spent by the club.
The early part of the evening was
spent with what may we'll be termed a
chicken party. A large drawing of a
chicken was placed on a screen, and
the guests we're ordered 10 pin the head
on the chicken. The efforts we're pro-
ductive of great deal of merriment,
but Frank Sullivan seemed to have
the greatest knowledge Of where the
head of the chicken should be. and
carried off the prize. Several other
parlor games assisted in passing the
time until III o'clock, when the young
people retired to the dining room
where a splendid supper was served.

MAY MAKE TROUBLE.
Many Complaints are Brought Against the
Recent Liquor License Transfer.

Recent Liquor License Transfer.
The recent action of the Council, in
transferring the Kohlman liquor license
from the Weiskopf building to the new
Dagenbach building on Milwaukee
avenue, is causing q great deal OF
comment and it is not improbable that
the Council will be forced to rescind its
action in this regard.
One of the prominent members of the
Board of Education was seen this
morning and said that many complaints
had been received by the Board against
the action of the Council, but so far as
has been learned, no formal complaint
has been filed against the transfer.
President Jackson, in speaking OF
the transfer, said that the Board had
no power to take any action on the
matter, but It would certainly follow
up any action taken by a private
individual against the eDcroachment
of the saloon upon the school buildings
of the city.
One of the aldermen stated that
when the transfer was made he did not
know that the building was within 300
feet of a city school building, and had
he known such was the case he would
not have voted to transfer the license.
Opponents of the transfer claim that
according to law the Council had no
right to transfer the license and in view
of the fact that specific law provides
against the location of saloon at this
corner, the action was most unwise.

MIR. and MRS. J. B. Malonev Throw open
Their House 60 the Eastern Stars.
Mr.. and Mrs John B. Maloney gave
very pleasant social gathering at
their home on West street last evening
In honor of the members of the Eastern
Star lodge in Kenosha. The members
of the lodge form very congenial
company, and with the royal hospi-
tally of the host and hostess it is use
less to say that those who were per
mitted to be present enjoyed a most
enjoyable time.
The early part of the evening was
spent in conversation over the affairs
of the lodge, after which social enjoy
ment took the place of the sterner
problems Of lodge business. All sorts
of parlor games were INDUCED in, and
it was marvellous how much the boys
and girls enjoyed the frolics Of their
younger days. At midnight Mr.. and
Mrs. Maloneyled the way to the dining
room, where a sumptuous collation. was
served.

First Ward Alderman Says He Will Not
Accept Any office.


Accept Any ONCE.
The political prognosticators, who
have predicted that Aid Charles FL.
Gonnermann would be the Republican
nominee for mayor at the approaching
spring election, will be forced to make
another guess. for Mr.. Gonnermann,
in an interview witch a representative
of this paper this morning, said he
would not be a candidate for any
political Office at the coming election
and in a humorous way remarked that
he would leave the way clear for Mr.
Marden, editor Culley or airy other
citizen the people desired to place in
the responsible position of mayor. He
also stated that he would not accept
a nomination for alderman, as he has
determined to give his entire time to
private business.

Other positions whose beginnings,
the capable administration of which
depends upon faculty for making
quick and sound decisions and on
the possession of common sense which
the Creator has distributed among
men and women regardless of the
limitations which the president of
the Northwestern railroad company
considers so important and primer
dial. Most Of the men and perhaps
most of the women who chance to
read this article will be likely to dis
agree with the writer on the question
OF wOman's intellectual eligibility to
the position of president of railroad.
And in the present century where
women Is denied the right to vote on
her own property except in few
western states, l am not so sure that
the Northwestern management is to
be blamed for accepting the general
estimate Of the law which grants the
suffrage TO everybody except Indians,
the insane, women, and idiots. Not
until centuries have dssipated the
prejudice which for over two thou.
sand years has prevented woman from
being estimated as an individual will

slavery. 1t is perhaps we'll enough
for the thousands Of women who will
assemble in Milwaukee next year to
snub the Northwestern road, but in
doing so they might patronize a road
which has never employed women, nor.
ever thought the exclusion of enough
consequence to offer public explana.
tiOn. Men are not to be blamed for
falling in with the current opinions
and the gods who grind out justice
grind so exceeding slow that the rec
ignition Of the wOman's right 10 as
good living as her capacity can earn
is still not within hundred years of
expression and adoption.
We have come shorter way than
We think, as we look back. Except in
a few spots wOman's influence is indi.
rect and depends upon her tact and
beauty. Her property is assessed and
she Is governed by whatever laws men
choose to pass and the consent of half
OF the adult taxpayers is never asked.
The president OF the Northwestern
road probably does not claim to be an
advanced thinker. He has accepted
