ORDER MORE PAVING.
CITY Council Fail to Look Ahead and Jones
Must Pay the Freight"

The meeting of the city council at
the city hall last evening was short
and sweet. Outside of the light mat
ter which is reported in another col
unn, little matter of importance was
transacted. Bills to the amount of
$40 were received from DIR. Stevens
and Mrs Williams for the care of
William Burres. The tax warrant as
made by the county board was referred
to the finance committee, which was
not as yet ready to report on the tax
levy for the year. The claim of the
Good Shepherd Industrial Home for
for the care of Sarah Zopfe was re-
ported correct by the committee on
claims and was ordered paid as soon
as the city has the money. The sewer
recently built on Garden street by
Hanson and Thompson was accepted.
The council then took up the petit
ton for the matchmaking of South
Chicago street and although it was
bitterly contested by Aldermen Curtis
and Ca1kins on account of the condi-
ton of the city treasury, the work was
ordered done and the excavation will
be made this year if possible. The
council issued a formal invitation to
the First Wisconsin Cavalry to hold
their reunion in this city in 1900.

Lyric Ladies Concert.

The Lyric Ladies appeared at the
Rhode opera house Monday evening
under the auspices of the Park Avenue
NJ. E. church. AS was to be expected
they were greeted by very large all
dience. Each number on the program
was very generously app1auded and
encores were quite the rule.
This is evidence enough that the
entertainment was of a highly salts
factory nature. The quartette is dis
tinct1y good. The ensemble was ex-
ce11ent. Four voices of so harmonious
quality are rarely gotten together in
an organiza ton of that kind.
The solo work was pleasing, that of
Miss Sprague and Mrs. Beaumont
being especially SO. Miss Sprague
possesses a remarkable contra1to voice.
Miss Me1cher is a reader of consider
able talent.
The program was changed in several
places, but no complaint can be made
on that score, On the whole the en-
tertainment was a success.
The next in the course will be Elias
Day, the characterize, December IL.

ANOTHER BURGLARY.
Sneak Thieves Broke Into the Home of
Mrs. Carrie Lee Last Night.

The usual daily burglary was report
ed to the police shortly before 10 O'Clock
last night, when it was announced that
some unknown parties had entered the
home of Mrs. Carrie Lee, on Park
avenue. Mrs. Lee had left the house
shortly after O'Clock to go to the rail
way station. When she. returned she
noticed that the light which had been
left burning had been extinguished.
A closer examination showed that
some one had entered the house by the
back window. One of the panes had
been broken and in this manner the
window was opened. Once in the
house the burglar or burglars started
to make a search, but it seems that
they were frightened away before the
work was completed. But one drawer
had been opened and the marauders
were not able to secure any booty for
their trouble.
The case was at once reported to the
police, but as yet they have not been
! able to find any clue to the identity of
the burglar. It seems that the burglar
! had been watching the movements of
Mrs. Lee, as she was away from the
house but few minutes and in this
time the crime was committed. Sus-
picious parties were seen about the
house in the early part of the evening
but none of them can be found this
morning.

THE COUNTY TAXES.
Levy Made by the Supervisors on Saturday
Afternoon is Smaller Than Last Year.

The work of making out the county
tax warrant has just been completed
by County Clerk Will Crosby and it
will be of considerable interest to the
people of the city. While the decrease
in the amount of taxes in all parts of
the county is very noticeable the de-
crease in Kenosha is larger than it has
been for many years. The total of the
state and county tax to be raised in
the city is S14, 872.45 as compared with
a total of S15,O98.26 last year. The
large decrease in the taxation is not
shown in the figures on account of the
fact that the state school tax was in
creased by 500 this year in order to
allow the city to get the added approp-
ration provided by the state. OF
course this 500 will ali be a credit to
the tax warrant as it is paid into the
funds of the school board by the state.
In all the other items the taxis consid-
erab1y reduced and with the school
tax accounted for reduction of $255.81
still remains. AS regards the valuation
for the city it is reduced from 81 1885, 900
to 81, 100000. The taxes as apportioned
by the board are as follows:

A BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Mrs. J. H. White is Agreeably Surprised or
the Occasion of Her 66th Birthday.

A very pleasant surprise party was
given last evening at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. J. H. White, $40 Dayton ST.,
the occasion being the celebration of
the sixty-sixth anniversary of the
birth of Mrs. White. The surprise was
arranged by the mem bers of the Home
Circle club, of which Mrs. White is a
member, and shortly after five O'Clock
the ladies took possession of the kitch-
en- and prepared a supper fit for the
gods. The gentlemen arrived in time
for supper and the jolly party of friends
and neighbors spent a very pleasant
evening together. After supper the
ladies of the club presented Mrs.
White with beautiful clock on which
was engraved the full measure of her
years. The Misses Rawson, of Racine,
who we're in attendance at the party,
presented the hostess with a picture.
After the presentation of the gifts the
the guests spent the evening very
pleasantly with music and conversa-
ton and late in the evening they left
wishing that Mrs. White would be
permitted to celebrate many other hap
ply anniversaries of her birth.

GOING TO EUROPE,
1900 Excursion Party Being Organized
to Visit Points of Interest Mr..
Naylor Manager.
COOPERATIVE BENEFITS GIVEN

The Tour Includes all Expenses for World S
Fair and the Passion Play and Tours
Through France, Switzerland, Italy
Austria, Germany, the Rhine, Belgium
England and Scotland also international
Christian Endeavor Convention.
Rev. S. W. Nay1or proposes to turn
his experience as a European traveller
to account by conducting party next
summer through the choicest excur-
sion scenes of Europe.
The party will leave New York in
June and spend week in Paris and
environs, including the Worlds Fair.
Thence to Switzerland, stopping at
the historic city of Geneva and touring
through the valley of Chamonni, tete
noir pass, to Inter1aken and Grinde1-
valid and on to Lucerne. The first
city visited in Italy is Milan, with
Genoa, Pisa, Rome, Naples, Florence
and Venice following. Six days are
to be spent at Rome, three at Florence
and two at Venice. The party will
then be taken through the Austrian
tyro1, which rivals Switzerland in
scenery, to Munich and Oberammer-
gau for the Passion Play, which is
only given once in ten years and is a
most marvellous represen tarion by the
simple Bavarian peasants, whose life
ambition centers in this performance
of the passion of Christ. Heidelberg
is next visited and the boat is taken
through the magnificent Rhine scenery
to Cologne. Brussels and the battle
field of Waterloo are visited on the
way to London, where six days are
spent.
The above trip includes the centers
of history, literature, art, architecture,
scenery AVID romance of all Europe.
The price for the main tour which
inc1ndes all necessary expenses from
New York to New York again. Steam
er fares, railroad fares, good hotels,
admission fees, etc. are put at the very
low rate of $500, which is far below the
ordinary tourist rates. An option of a
cheaper tour is offered those who de-
sire, emitting Italy from the above
outline and going from Switzerland to
Munich and Oberan4mergau; thence to
London along route of main tour, this
second tour being only 1925. Mr..
Nay1or claims, however, that the 800
extra for Italy furnishes more than any
other 800 of the tour.
The main tour is fifty-nine days
from New York and the shorter option
forty-fve. Annex tours into Germany
Holland and Scotland will be made at
the election of any of party at the
close of either tour and at the lowest
prices.
The cooperative plan offers anyone
of the first ten to register $40 for each
nonresident of Kenosha secured above
ten for the main tour, and $3.50 for
the same service for the shorter trip.
Mr.. Nay1or conducts the main tour
personally throughout and the shorter
one as far as Switzerland and furnishes
an experienced European courier for
the remainder of the short tour.
Early registration does two very
importantly things--secures choice
berths-and they will be scare next
summer and privilege of the cooper
ative plan, whereby one can materially
lessen the expenses of the trip. The
first ten to register may share in
benefits of further addition.
