Respectfully submitted.

A. Ell. LANCE, Treasurer.
President Van Ingen in his annual
report gave very interesting account
of the foundation and progress of the
club during the first year of it's history.
He said the growth of the club had
been almost phenomenal and from a
charter membership of fifty the club
had grown until now its Numerical
strength was over 200. The roll now
contains 65 family memberships, one
non resident family membership, 20
Individual memberships and non
resident memberships. Besides this
number the club also contains 80
associate members.
The actual cost of running the CLUB,
exclusive of the amount expended for
the first laying out of the grounds and
the erection of the buildings, was
$1O90.74. Without any improvements
it was stated by the president that the
expenses for next year would be at
least $1,000, and that from present
indications the club would have reven-
ues amounting to something over $4,000
thus leaving a neat sum of $500 for
improvements on the grounds and
buildings.
Following the annual address of the
president the club proceeded TO elect
three directors for three years in place
of Messrs. 2. G.. Simmons, G. E. Remer
and Col. j. j. Hoyt, whose term has
expired. The election resulted in choice
of George A. Yule, G. E. Remer and
Charles W. Allen.
After the election of the new direct
ors the club spent considerable time
discussing the subject of dues and
initiation fees for the coming year, and
it was finally decided to admit all
members for this year without the
payment of the initiation fee and the
annual dues were fixed at $25 for family
memberships and $40 for individual
mem bership.
Before adjournment vote of thanks
was given to President Van Ingen and
the members of the board of directors
for their loyal work for the club during
the year.

BIG BLAZE AT BRISTOL.
Little Kenosha County village Has
Severe Fire Loss

Little Kenosha County village Has a
Severe Fire Loss.
The biggest fire which ever occurred
in the little village of Bristol, twelve
miles west of this city, broke out be-
tween three aid four o'clock this morn
ing in barn adjoining the premises of
William Schneider and before the fire
had finally been subdued the flames
had destroyed several thousand dollars
worth of property and did a great
deal of damage to two Of the churches
in the little village.
The fire was first discovered shortly
after three o'clock but before the peo-
pie in the town could be aroused it had
gained such Roadway that the people
were unable to stop it, and they were
only able to save the surrounding
buildings with the most heroic action.
When the blaze in the Schneider barn
was we'll under way the fire was
carried by the wind to the barns
owned by the German and English M.
E. churches and they were quickly
consumed.
The flames were also communicated
to the parsonage owned by the English
M. E. church and it was badly damaged
as was the church building owned by
by the German Methodist church. The
contents of the barns Will add consider
able to the loss as they all contained
large amounts of hay, grain and farm
implements. In the Schneider barn
two very valuable horses were tied and
they were burned to death before the
men could get to the stable.
The horses and vehicles belonging
to the two ministers were saved
The loss from the fire cannot be
estimated at the present time but it
will amount to over $4,000 with only
500 insurance, which was held by
William Schneider on the contents OF
his barn.
The origin of the fire is unknown.

Kenosha society has been playing a
most important part in the gay social
week at Madison and the half dozen
Kenosha ladies who have been attend
ing the festivities at the capitol city
have experienced one round of pleasure.
Miss Bessie Hurd made a decided hit
in University society and is commonly
reported that she was the most beauti-
full lady in attendance at the great
promenade. The University papers
also give favorable mention to Misses
Erickson, Kimball and Swift and Mrs.
G.. W. Allen of this city.
One of the most elaborate events Of
the week was dinner given Cd Satur-
day evening by the Phi Kappa Psi
fraternity in honor of Mrs. Allen and
Misses Hurd and Erickson. The
arrangements for the dinner were very
elaborate and many of the best known
society people of Madison were in
attendance. The dinner was followed
with an informal dancing party.
On the same evening the Chi Psi
fraternity gave an informal dance at
their lodge IN honor of Misses Kimball
and Swift of this city.
The weeks festivities ended on

The social dancing party given by

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. rIsKHAn,]

A woman with the blues is a very I'M
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently historical.
The condition of the mind known as
the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t is source OF wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. f. S. BENNETT

lowing letter:

fered for over two years with falling.

womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, wrote to YOU
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
Il am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than
have had for the past ten years. 1

ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to

STRANGE.

She devours Marie Corelli,
And she simply dotes on Shelley,
And she knows her Anthony Hope and
Browning too.
She has been in good society,
is a model of propriety,
And she wears the very smallest glove
and shoe.
She's athletic as the dickens,
the care of Chickens
She can talk with ease of Wall street
and of stocks.
She's flirty little way with her,
Altho' work is only play to her,
And I'm glad TO say, she darns her
fathers socks.
She can do accounts with readiness,
And her dancing gives one readiness;
AS for midnight spreads-she' just a
crank ON them.
She is quite an all round scholar.
And as bright as any dollar
But she can't pass up in spelling at
the Sem.

MEDDLING MoTHERs-IN-LAw.
Husbands Are Jealous of Them, but So
Are the Wives.

A west side matron who was an
orphan before her marriage is strongly
of the opinion that the comic papers
have as yet seen only one side of the
motherin-law joke. Il have never
had to contend with the application

for him. With womanly intuition the
daughter-in-law soon discovers this.
a GOODNESS results between the two
women and before long there is thun-
der in the air. II the mother-in-law
has due regard for her sons happiness
she will take warning from the storm
signal and retreat. If not, the result
ing unhappiness is inevitable. The
jokes about the pie and the biscuits
that mother used to make always
suggest sad realities to me. And per-
haps the most pitdable phase of it Is
that, while both the women are most
earnestly DESTROYS of promoting the
happiness of the son and husband yet
they take one of the surest means OF
wrecking his peace OF mind and their
own at the same time"
BY the way, the influence which a
mother-in-law is supposed to exercise
in the families of young people was
the subject of discussion in court not

law to recover some property. The
jury were closely questioned as TO
whether they entertained a prejudice

testified to having no feeling on the

Probably very few men would admit
to being influenced by the stale and

they have great weight is proven By

So he is on his guard. He looks upon

TO a certain degree this feeling may
be traced to a not unnatural jealousy.
The young husband is always very
self-important. He expects to be all
