A RANK DECISION.
KENOSHA AND RACINE BOYS MIS-
TREATED IN MILWAUKEE, RACE.
SCHUMACHER BREAKS RECORD
Charles schumacher Rides in Lanes
Place and Makes Best time over the
Course-Roy Holderness said to
have Won Second Time Prize.

The Racine and Kenosha boys who
went to Milwaukee Saturday afternoon
to take part in the North Milwaukee
road race came home with the report
that the affair was managed entirely
for the benefit of the Milwaukee riders,
and allege that they we're Disseminated
against in their decisions.
Roy Holderness, Stewart Cober,
Frank Wattles. John Scharding and
Oscar Theleen, the Kenosha riders,
who we're entered all gave a good &C
count of themselves, with the exception
Of Wattles who, at the last minute,
concluded not to ride. Charles Schu-
macher rode under Lanes name and
will therefore be disqualified by the
directors. The rest of the Kenosha
and Racine riders however, rode the
course fairly and finished well, but we're
not allowed the positions they won.
Schumacher, who rode in Lanes
place, had he been regularly entered,
would have won the time prize. He
made the twelve and one half miles in
So Is, beating tho time of the scratch
man by 33 seconds. He finished in
eleventh place, but was given only
sixteenth.
The remainder OF the local riders
were treated in similar manner, with
the exception Of Cober. E. 81. Will
liams won twelfth place and was given
seventeenth. 1t is claimed by the
Kenosha riders that Roy Holderness
finished seventh and took the second
time prize, but he was not allowed any
time prize whatever and compelled to
take 18th place in the order of finishing.
The Milwaukee Sentinel makes the
following statement of the case in ref
erence to Lane.
The race was poorly managed, and
on that account it is probable that the
Racing board will encounter some
difficulty in deciding the winners of
time prizes. From the reports sub
mitted to the Racing board, E. G. Lane
of Kenosha is credited with having
made the fastest time 3 miutes and
16 seconds. Many of the riders, how
ever, especially those who made fast
time, claim that Lane did not ride, but
that man named Schumacher, either
from Racine or Kenosha, rode in his
place, Some of the riders will prob
ably file protest with the Racing
board tomorrow, and if the charges
are sustained, Schumacher will be dis
qualified. There is also a question as
to the second winner. G.. M. Murphy,
of Racine, is said to have ridden the
course in 1899 from the 5.minute
mark, while W. F. Ferguson, of Chi
cago. made the course in 1880 Friends
of the latter, and even one of the
timekeepers, say that some mistake
was made in catching the time of the
| fast men.
The rider who represented himself as
E. G.. Lane rode hard. He could not
be found after the race. Some of the
riders who accompanied him a part of
the distance said that they could not
keep up with him, and think that he is
a ringer"

THE BUBBLE BUSTED
4 CITIZEN SHOWS UP THE VILLAGE
OF WAUKEGAN.
xENosHA FAR IN THE LEAD
A Letter From a Waukegan Citizen Tells
of the Rural Beauty of Waukegan-It
Has stood Still too Long to Become
Rival of Kenosha.

For the benefit of those who have
been deceived by the beguiling stories
told in the Waukegan papers into the
belief that the pretty little village on
our southern borders is great and
5hriving city like Kenosha, we have
concluded to publish the following
letter received from a citizen of that
hamlet. So many people have been
cruelty mislead by the Munchausan
tales of Waukegan's greatness issuing
from the Sun and Gazette Register and
the almost inconceiveable libels on this
opulent metropolis that to prevent any
further depredations of this nature a
fair minded man, who by some strange
accident became located in Waukegan,
took it upon himself to expose the
true condition of affairs in that
rural district. 1t is not expect
ed that such statement of facts
will in the end materially hurt little
Waukegan. We woulo not engage in
an enterprise of that kind. 1t would
look too much like the large abusing
the small. 1t will only warn innocent
victims against deluding reports, and
while it may shatter Waukegan's repu-
tation as city, it will tend to bring to
the public notice the hitherto unadver-
tised advantages of that burg as a
quiet, retired summer resort, where one
may escape the turmoil of business and
enjoy perfect rest unmolested by any
suggestion of activity, where the wild
flowers grow undisturbed in the main
streets and the docile bovine pastures
in the front yard. These are Wauke-
CAMS true beauties and deserve to be
given the place in the public estimate
which relentless boomers have tried to
deprive them of. The following is the
letter:
Dear Editor-I have not visited your
city for some fifteen years and | was
surprised to notice the great improve
ment and gain in your city in the past
years. From our gassy press | under
stood your town was at a perfect stand
still, but | see it has stood still in brag
and blunder only. On the other hand,
Waukegan has pulled and been pulled
until any one not acquainted with the
facts would think it was second to
Chicago. Only the truth of it is, this
place is creeping along mighty slow.
Of the thousands of lots for sale few
dozen each year are sold and at the
present rate of selling there are enough
lots on the market to supply the de-
mand for 300 years-that is lots near
the business part of town, not counting
those in the background.
Waukegan is growing slowly and
steadily but it has been awfully over
estimated. I have lived here close on
to fifty years and the same May weeds
OF childhood bloom and scatter their
seed on the public streets unmolested
by the busy wheels of traffic, but il
pleases the editors and cheers up the
readers of the would-be city to blow
Ha! ha! how they do blow.

COAL GOING HIGHER.
The Price of Hard Coal Promises to
Reach ST.

Reach ST.
The evidence seems to be that coal
will be from % to so cents higher this
year than it was last. The price al
ready stands at $3.50 ton, with every
probability of a quick advance. 1t is
believed by the dealers that the present
price will stand until about the first OF
September, and will then advance to
the place it is likely to hold during the
season. The heavy reduction which
was so favorable to consumers last
year has not been noticeable this year.
The strike among the shippers at
Buffalo has operated TO raise prices
somewhat. Some claim the advance in
prices over those of last year is due to
the miner and operators who are
expecting to raise prices on the first OF
each month. From all present indica-
tions the price of anthracite coal this
year will be about fifty cents in ad-
vance of that of last year. Last
summer many took advantage of the
drop caused by the war among the.
dealers in Chicago and purchased coal
at the very low price of So ton. This
season there has been 10 opportunity
for that kind of work since coal has
steadily maintained the present rate of
$3.50 per ton with no promise of grow
ing cheaper.

FRED FELDsHAU SHOOTS.
He Tries to open Closed Saloon with a
Pistol.

Late last night Main street in the
vicinity of Taylor's saloon was the
scene of considerable excitement
caused by shooting affair Fred
Feldshaw, Peter Jacobson ant Louis
Larsen spent too much time over the
foaming cup and as result when they
had imbibed to their satisfaction they
were in a good condition to make
things merry in their immediate neigh
borhood. After amusing themselves as
far as possible in the confines Of the
saloon the concluded to quit it's narrow
precincts and seek larger fields for the
exercise of their exuberance on the
outside. Contact with the open air.
however, seemed to arouse the Jesse
James instinct in the men. They went
to the restaurant above the saloon and
on returning found the saloon locked.
Feldshaw drew his weapon and to
prove that he could hit something
beside the air proceeded to pepper the
side door of Taylor's saloon. Luckily
the ball struck the heavy siding of
the door and was thereby stopped.
Otherwise it would have penetrated
the saloon and not unlikely hit and in
jured some of those on the inside. The
fellows were all arrested by Officer
Orth and the chief. Larsen and Peter
son we're taken to the county jail and
FeldshaW was released on bail.

MANY WE'RE INJURED.
On the Racine and Kenosha Bicy lie Path
sunday-Wheelmen Collide.

sunday-Wheelmen Collide.
1t is estimated that five hundred
bicycle riders passed over the Racine
and Kenosha path Sunday, the largest
per cent in the afternoon. In places
the path is very narrow and dangerous
for riders to pass. At least dozen
accidents are reported. One young
man collided with another rider and
was thrown against d barbed wire
fence and his right hand was terribly
lacerated. Four other other riders
were piled in heap and two of them
had gashes cut on their heads and
arms. One wheel was wrecked and the
other so badly damaged that it could
not be used A lady was rendered
unconscious in collision, but is all
right today. Taking into consideration
the terrific speed at which some
wheelmen ride it is miracle that
someone is not killed.

A GRAND PICNIC.
Danish Brotherhood of this City Hold an
Enjoyable Picnic at Central Park


The largest picnic of the season oc-
Cured at Central Park Sunday, July
80. 1t was given by the Danish Broth
erhood and was glorious success,
both socially and financially. 4 large
crowd was there from both Kenosha
and Racine, special trains running
from both cities.
Games of all kinds were played,
there was music galore, and all had
roaring good time. The tug of war
was won by Racine, but the majority
of the other prizes we're carried off by
Kenosha people. It was estimated
that over 1900 people were on the
grounds and the Danish Brotherhood
are to be congratulated on the success
of their entertainment.

NOT CHARGED TO HIM
Investigating Committee Contin-
ucs to Discover Things but
Decides to Take Recess
Until May.
Special to Greenville News.

Columbia, S. c., March b.
The penitentiary investigation
committee today devoted prac
tically its entire time to an in>
qulry relative to brick which
came into the possession of the
penitcntiary.
Under n concurrent resolution
thirty convicts were allowed the
lunatlc asylum to make brick for
the new building. The asylum
made Il contract with the peniteu-
tlary to secure a certain number
or brick in lieu of the convicts.
The penltentiary then made a
contract with Il. j. Lipscomb by
which the asylum was to get its
brick and then the remainder were
to be divided between Lipscomb
and the penitentiary.
Colonel Lipscomb supplied half
the wood, machinery, clay and
the turner's and the penitentiary
the labor.
In one of the settlements the
penitentiary is charged with -, =
600 brick sent to Senator b. r..
TilIman at Trenton,S. G.. These
brick were shipped July 3lst
1895 and aave never vet been
paid for. Colonel Lipscomb b
certified that Colonel Neal told
him to charge the brick against
the penitentiary share after hav
ing sent Tillman IL bill and having
received no reply.
Colonel Neal certified that Till
man owed the penitcntiary foe
brick, and that they would no
doubt be paid for by him. He
said that the Tlllman account
should appear as an asset of the
penltentiary, and the only reason
he could assign was the fault of
the book keeper. The book keeper
swore that Colonel Neal told him
to leave Senator Tillman' 5 account
open until he saw him, and not to
transfer it to the penitentiary nc
count. The bill was for $72.
The committee took recess
until May %.

Clifton, his father-in-law, and his
physicians forbid that any one ex-
cept the immediate members of

him. DIR } A Mood, who has the
case in hand says, says that Mr..
Kelly is very pale, weak and ex~
ceedngly nervous, and suffers
from insomnia; that his conversa>

several days of absolute quiet and

his recovery will be slow, and be-
Fond doubt he Is suffering from n
temporary alteration of mind.
10 all appearances he must have

prise that he was able to get back
