SEMI ANNUAL MUSTER
Company Shows Good Progress During
the Past Year.

Company E, of the Wisconsin Ma
tional Guard, held its regular semi
annual muster at their armory Monday
night, and it showed that the boys
have made great progress during the
year just past. 1t was expected that
the muster would be conducted by some
of the head officials of the state organ
ization, but as none of them arrived
the inspection was conducted by Capt.
W. W. Miller, assisted by the officers
of the company, with the exception of
Lieut. McCordy, who had been called
away on account of the death of %
relative.
The inspection showed the company
to be in an excellent condition. Of the
sixty-fiv men, whose names are on the
rolls sixty were present. The company
has been organized for year and is
gaining new members all the time, 1t
is one of the best equipped and best
drilled companies now in the state
organization and it is assured that the
company will be included in the ranks
of the companies selected when the
state organization is reorganized. An
effort is being made by the company
and their friends to have the company
advanced from the fifth to the first regi-
ment of the State Guard. The failure
of the company at Racine to muster
after war left vacancy in the ranks of
the first regiment and the Kenosha
company hope to be chosen to fill the
vacancy.

MINISTER SHOWED FIGHT.
one of Kenosha's Ministers Defends His
Political views With Hot Words.

From all reports the city of Kenosha
has one minister of the gospel who is
able to take care of himself; and
while no one has ever questioned his
zeat as a follower of the meek and
lowly Nazerine, there is one man in
the city that has good reason to know
that the minister knows how to bear
himself in fight. The latter gentle
man gained this information Sunday
n0on. The minister had just returned
from church, where he had preached
the gospel of universal love, and as he
was sitting down for short rest he
looked out of the window and saw a
man beating a dog. He opened the
window and attempted to ascertain
that the dog was being whipped on
constitutional grounds, and the replies
of the man outside were wholly salts
factory. But then the trouble began.
The minister and the layman began to
talk politics, and in short time the
argument became heated and the
Language that was exchanged could
hardly be considered excerpts from the
book of Genesis or the New Tesla :
ment. The layman from the sidewalk
| declared that the minister had been
instrumental in the defeat of his party
candidate in the late city campaign
When this allegation had been made
| by the layman, the minister laid away
all restraint, and leaping from the
house he informed the astonished lay
man in no uncev cain words that he was
wandering from the truth, and some OIL
| the bystanders declared that he used
the word liar. Well Of course this
made more trouble, and the minister's
opponent came back and called the
minister liar and offered to furnish
proofs. The proofs were never fur
nisled, for the statement of the layman
SO snraged the minister that he showed
that he was ready to defend his state
ments with his fists, and he informed
the opponeat that his clothes were
not big enough for him to call him a
liar"
How the fight was settled no one
is able to state, but both of the men
arc able to be out this morning, and il
is said that all the boys take off theii
| hats as the minister passes.
81 seems that considerable trouble
mas been brought about by the circu-
lation of a report that some of the
ministers Of the city were responsible
for the recent defeat of the Republi.
can party, While the ministers claim
that they have right to vote as they
| please, they are determined to silence
the talk of their action on the recent
campaign.

MADE NO ATTEMPT.
M, r. & K Co. will Await the Action of
the Courts Before they Begin to Build.

the Courts Before they Begin to Build.
Notwithstanding the report in cir
culation Saturday the electric railroad
company did not make an effort to
build their line into Kenosha Saturday
night and the city police, who were
watching the terminus of the line,
report that they did not see any of the
agents of the company in the city.
Inspeaking of the report one of the
managers of the road said that be could
not see how it gained any eredence, as
it was not the intention of the company
to make any attempt to enter the city
by stealth. They say that the matter
will be tested in the courts as soon as
possible and if the court decide in their
| favor they will build at once and if the
| decision is against them the fact that
they had laid tracks in the city would
in no way protect them from any action
on the part of the city to force them TO
remove their tracks. Many citizens
DO not take the same view of the mat
ter and these believe that the state
monts made by the officials are for the
purpose,ef, throwing the city officials
off their guard. A close watch will be
maintained for some time yet and any
effort on the part Of the company to
enter the city will be vigorously pro-
tested.
Reports from the country state that
the officials of the Milwaukee company
inspected the line last week and reports
are in circulation that the sale was
made at that time. General manager
Beggs however, still declares that that
company has no interest in the line.

A KENOSHA SOLDIER

INTERESTING NEWS.
SOLDIERS ON POLICE DUTY
American Soldiers are Not Enthusiastic
over Life in the Philippines-Insurg-
ents a Bad Lot to Deal With-Many
Captured by American Troops.
Manila, P. l., March 16, 1899.

Manila, p l., March 10, 1899.
Dear Friends-After fifty three days
on board q ship, l am to again set foot
on solid ground. We had very nice
trip, enjoyed by all. In fact, it was
one continuous round of pleasure. The
sights didn't seem strange to me, be-
cause I had seen the Worlds Fair and
any person who saw it naturally saw
the whole world. All the ports that
we stopped in we're English and you
may rest assured that we received a
hearty reception all over
Well, suppose you would like to
know how things stand here. To start
off 1 will say that we have firing line
twenty miles long around Manila, and
it is the expectation of all old soldiers
here that the leaders will be captured
or chased off the island. There is an
awful lot of dirty work going on by the
natives, which they have learned from
the Spaniard. Our battalion is doing
regular police work. In daytime one
man travels beat, but at night there
are from two to six in squad under a
corporal, and if the Filipinos get a
chance they will stick knife in a
soldier every time. The people in the
town are all right when we are around,
but as soon as we turn our backs, then
up goes house or two. The town
proper is under martial law. Every
person has got to be off the streets at z
o'clock, not barring nationality. The
streets are very marrow and the houses
are built so that the second story hangs
over the sidewalk. We have two
1 ManiIas; one is called New and the
other the Walled City, or Old Manila,
which is about three and one half miles
square.
We had a battle today and you may
rest assured that there were good
many FilipiGos put out Of business. It
was near the city of Pasig, seven miles
up the river, bearing the same naa0.
We are in the barracks formerly occu-
pied by the 73d Infantry, Queens
Guards. They are in very bad condi-
ton. In fact, it would be an insult to
American industry to compare them
with our barns. The back of the bar
racks is just alongside tht river, and at
this writing they are pulling out good
Filipino, who foated down from the
the city of Pasig, where he was shot.
We can look in any direction and see
waving on houses and every one of the
boats, white flags, which are called
Omega, meaning friend, but they bear
watching.
Our money just doubles theirs. We
get two native dollars for one of ours.
The coins are SO big and clumsy that
when we have So in native money we
have all we can carry.
The horses are very small and cows
we have none, but we have hat they
call Carribu, or sea OK, and they do the
work that horse was cut out to do
They have hump on their back and
the yoke catchesit and that's how they
get cart around.
There isn't street that is four blocks
long without bend.

A HOTEL ROBBED
Two Smooth Agents Loot the Whitbeck
Hotel On Park Street.


Between noon and two o'clock this
afternoon some one went through all
the rooms in the Park Street Hotel
kept by A. Whitbeck. The loss was
discovered shortly after three o'clock,
and was at once reported to the police,
It is not known what was taken from
the rooms as nearly all the people
effected by the robbery are working
men and were not at home at the time
it was discovered.
Every room in the house was looted
and even the rooms of the servants
were visited and everything of value
taken. The proprietor of the hotel
thinks that the robbery was committed
by two agents who have been stopping
at the place for the past few days
The two men were the only people
in the house at the noon hours and one
of the servants says that she saw them
go to the rooms on the second floor.
The men cannot be found, although
they have left their belongings at tho
hotel

will be hailed with JOY by all. The fact
that the discovery was made in new
ground proves that the Con. Virginia has
not been worked out, as many have as
se.ted. Ever since its discovery in 1860
the ComstOck has enjoyed a boom at
least every l0or II years, and the indica-
tons are that the year 1899, like those OF
II, rs, 70, and 81, will be among the
memorable ones in our history.

ore which assayed $25 So per ton was
