appealed to was not able to accommo
date them in the way of rooms, but it
was finally agreed that they were to
take their meals with her and the lady
would secure them rooms elsewhere.
The transcients went out during the
afternoon and during their visit it
seems that they arranged to rent every
available room on the avenue. One
careful landlady who is evidently a
novice in the clearinghouse business
went so far as to purchase an entirely
new equipment for their especial use
After they had secured options on
rooms enough to accommodate the
following of Chinese minister they
returned to the first place and partook
of a hearty supper. After supper had
been eaten they called the careful
housewife aside and one of the ladies
told her that they had not been able to
get their baggage from the depot and
ended by asking the lady to loan them
some night robe for the evening. The
lady, thinking all was we'll gave the
woman the incest robe de mutt she had
in the house and her new boarders went
away presumably very we'll satisfied
The lady thought nothing more of
the matter until late in the evening,
when enquiries began to come in from
the other boarding houses asking what
had become of the two new ladies that
we're to occupy the rooms they had
rented in the afternoon. The lights
burned late in the different houses, but
the muchly expected women did not
put in an appearance at any OF the
houses last night and every effort to
locate them today has resulted in fail
ure. The case has been reported to
the police and an effort will be made to
find the women and deal with them as
they deserve. One of the ladies was
seen TODAY and said she would appear
against her erstwhile guests if they
were found to have done anything
wrong. She added that she didn't
care anything for the two meals the
women had taken without paying for,
but she said that the robe de mutt she
had loaned them was the best in her
wardrobe and that she intended to have
it back if possible.

LABOR MEETS AGAIN
RELATION BETWEEN CONTRACTORS
AND CARPENTERS DISCUSSED.
TIE ADDRESS BY F. ]. WEBER
He Speaks of Legislation Which Should
Be Favored by Every Loyal Union
Man Scale of wages Placed at %
Cents an Hour.

In response to a call for an open
meeting of organized labor about 100
men met in Forester's hall last even
ing. The object was the discussion of
the relations existing between the car
penters and the carpenter contractors
of the city. It was not question of
wages, but desire to establish more
harmonious feeling between employers
and employees. A scale of wages,
with rs cents an hour as the minimum,
has been adopted by the local union,
and days labor has been fixed at
nine hours. To this agreement some
of the carpenter contractors had re-
fused their signatures and it was to
explain the mutual advantages to both
carpenters and contractors from such
agreement that the discussion was in
vited
Edgar White, president of the join
ers and Carpenters union, called the
meeting to order and introduced F. j..
Weber, of Milwaukee, who had come,
he said, to promote better feeling
between organized labor and contract
ors. Mr.. Weber spoke Of the contem-
plated legislation for the betterment of
the laboring classes, illustrating his
meaning by reference to the Barber
bill, the Eight Hour law, the Discrim
mating law, Child Labor law and the
bill for the increase of factory in
spectors. He appealed to the men to
be in harmony to protect one another
and to remember the true objects of
unionism, the elevation of man. Sew
eral of the carpenters spoke of the ad-
vantages of the organization to the
local contractors as they could prevent
outside competition, if every contractor
knew that he must pay the regular
scale of wages and could not employ
cheaper labor.
The question OF age limit also came
up for discussion. 1t was the opinion
of the meeting that in the case of old
carpenters, who had been faithful to
the union and had served their time
in hard labor, some special rate of
wages should be adopted so that the
men might not be deprived of the op-
portunity to earn living. Non-uniOn
men were urged to join the labor or
CARNATIONS and to help the unions by
fraternal sympathy.
The decision of the meeting was that
special committee should visit the
carpenter contractors, who had refused
their signatures to the agreement, and
prevail on them to work in harmony
with the Carpenters union.

The Jury Fail to See That He Assaulted
H. c. Schulz.
The jury selected to try the case OF
Michael Gump, who was charged with
assaulting Il. c. Schulz, decided the
case shortly after o'clock Friday
evening and their verdict was that the
blame for the assault should be placed
on the hardware man instead of his
emplOye.
The case attracted as much attention
as murder case and the auditors all
seemed deeply interested in the evi
dence produced. After the evidence
was all in the attorneys plead the case
before the jury, and attorney L G.
Bohmrich, who appeared for the de-
Tense, took occasion to denounce the
plaintiff in the action in no uncertain
words. The crowd present at the
trial were evidently favorable to the
defendant, and the words of Mr..
Bohmrich in condemnation of Schulz
seemed to strike popular chord. The
fight will probably result in further
legal complications, as Gump has
brought suit against his former en-
ployer to obtain wages which he claims
were due him at the time of the fight.

Plan Under Way to Tender Congressman
Cooper Reception.
Frank j. Miller and B. B. Northrup

Jackson, of Kenosha, asking if Racine
will join in public reception to Hon.
II. A. Cooper, on his return from
Washington, the reception to be a we'll
earned testimonial of his untiring work
on behalf of his district, but particu-
larly in relation to the magnificent
river and harbor appropriations he Sc
cured for Racine and Kenosha.
The question will probably be laid
before the Business Mems association
next week, and there is no question but
what Racine will take pride in doing
honor to her distinguished citizen, who
has accomplished so much for the
home town.
The intention of the Kenosha people
is to charter a trainsof special cars and
come up several hundred strong to do
honor to the one man, who secured
what no other representative before
him was able to get.-Racine Times.

the directors. and with few altera-
lions it will probably be accepted.
This plan has been presented by Voith
& Leenhouts, of Milwaukee.
The proposition to erect new
building has been under consideration
for about year, but owing to the hard
times, the project was not pushed until
this winter. The principal business
men were consulted in regard to the
matter and advised the promoters to
go ahead and look for their assistance
when it was needed. 1t is due to the
efforts of State Secretary F. E. Ander
son, of Milwaukee; A. E. Buckmaster,
W. W. Cooper and Will Burr that tie
project has neared completion so
quickly, although not foot of ground
will be broken until the entire cost of
the building, estimated at $l5, 1000, has
been raised. Merchants and manufac
turers have responded readily to the
call for contributions and it seems to
be the general wish of the public that
the building shall go up as soon as
possible.
Thus far only smaller contributions
have been asked, and over $4,000 has
been subscribed. Other larger sub
scriptions will follow.
The building now occupied by the
association is entirely inadequate to its
needs. This will be torn down and
the magnifice stone and brick struct-
ure will be built in its place. The
ground owned by the association is in
the shape of a triangle and the idea is
to acquire six feet more of property on
the west and conform the new building
to the shape of the lot.
The basement will be occupied by
bathrooms, lockers, toilet rooms, a
bowling alley and storage room for
bicycles. On the fror floor will be To-
Gated the parlors, reading rooms, Of
fees and the gymnasium, and on the
second floor the audience room, parlors,
bathrooms and sleeping rooms. The
entire third floor will be used as dor
mitory.
For the purpose of raising money for
the erection of the new building an il
iustrated lecture will be given by F. d.
Hopkins, of Racine, at the Park Az
enue M E. church, next Tuesday even
ing. The lecture will be very interest
ing and everybody is urged to turn out
and assist the work in this way

The approaching spring in Kenosha
promises to be very busy one from
the standpoint of builder. Besides
the new library building, the monu
ment, the Northwestern Wire Mattress
addition, two guild halls and countless
private residences, T. j. Meyers has
decided to build new business block
on Market street, and tho ground that
is now occupied by the livery stable
will soon be the site of four new store
buildings. The plans for the new
structure have already been drawn.
1t will be two stories in height and about
rs feet square. The new building is to
be of brick with a stone foundation and
fire proof. The ground floor will be
made into four store rooms, while the
second floor will be fitted up for use of
offices. The most modern appliances
will be placed in all parts of the build
ing. The action of Mr.. Meyers in
replacing the livery stable with beau
tiful business block is we'll worthy OF
commentator as it will add great
deal to the appearance of Market
Square.

A valuable Klondike Discovery.

The discovery of the extensive de-
posits of valuable silver carbonites at
Leadville, Colo, was accidental, but
that discovery led to the building up
of Leadville, and ad ded enormously to
the mineral wealth of the country
Workmen, who were digging trench
on the site CT Lead7ille, were perplexed
by the weight of the earth which they
threw out with their shovels. The
foreman submitted specimen of the
earth to chemical analysis and found
it was made up in large part of lead
and silver. Then came the Leadville
excitement, the discovery of numerous
mines of carbonites and the building
up of many large fortunes. And now a
report from Dawson City states that in
the apparently worthless black sand
found in every stream in the Yukon
and which has always been considered
as an indication of gold-gOld and
platinum have been found in such
quantities that miners are looking for
black sand now as much as they are
for gold. 1t is said that ton of this
sand has run as high as $1O2 in gold
and nearly $500 in platinum, which
latter metal is worth almost half the
price of gold. Traces of other previous
metals have been found in Alaska, and
it will not be surprising if it's mineral
wealth proves to be much greater than
has been anticipated. --Lesle's Weekly.

MUST BE ABANDONED.
Use of Artes1an Water Will Soon End in
Kenosha.

The reputation of Kenosha as an
artesian water town will soon be a
thing of the past, for the water com
missioners have about come to the con-
clusion that the artesian mains will
have to be abandoned in the near
future. In all parts of the city the
mains have decayed to such an extent
that they are practically worthless, and
in some places it will be necessary to
shut off the water at the present time.
Most of the mains in question have
been in the ground for only about ten
years, but the effect of the chemicals
in the water has been so great that in
some places the pipes have hardly a
sixteenth of an inch of good material.
During the last few days the mains
have broken on Prairie and Grand av-
enlles and on Chicago street, and the
officials think that it would not be
worth the while to repair them.
The people who have been using the
artesian water have greatly decreased,
and at present only small proportion
of the citizens of the city use the
water. The retirement of the artesian
system will necessitate the laying Of
several new mains in the city, but in
many places the old mains are paral-
leled by other mains carrying city
water, and the change can be made
with little trouble or expense.
