RUMMAGE SALE.
The Following Extract on Rummage Sales
Is Taken From the Christmas Outlook.

Every rummage sale is bound to be a
success, in the first place, because 1t
appeals to two of the most fundamental
instincts of the human heart-the IN
stinct for boarding useless articles and
the primal passion for bargains. The
managers of such sale appeal to all
their friends to give them "some OF
the old things you have put away IN
the attic" Now, everybody has some
thing put away in the attic, or hang
ing in the back of closet, or down at
the bottom of trunk, that he or she
knows in his or her secret heart OF
hearts will never be used. 1t is, OF
course, not to be expected that people,
however charitab1y inclined will give
all their useless things to the rummage
sale, for that would DE asking too much
from human nature; but perhaps
third of them will be re1inquished with
a warm glow of conscious generosity
in the giving. Thus, day after day,
the Spectator saw wagon drlv1ng~up
and down the streets OF the town, with
a white sheet on it's side marked,
"Co1lecting for the Rummage Sale"
and every day there was something
queerer in it than the last. In this
way truly unique collection became
the property of the managers-auto-
harps, art squares, accordions, alpha
betica1 blocks, artificial flowers, bag
pipes, busts, bicycles, books, BABY
jumpers, bonnets, canary cages, coats,
chairs, clocks, chatting dishes, decant-
ers, dog-baskets, dresses, door knobs,
dress suits, engravings, egg heaters,
furniture, fdd1es, forks, glass, gloves,
gas stoves, ginger jars, hunting boots,
hour glasses, hoes, and so on down the
alphabet, until second hand depart
ment store was slowly evolved out of
the apparent chaos, with the managers
and friends as sa1eswonen, and the
appeal to the second great human in
stinct-that of bargaining

FAvoRs THE RESERVE FUND.
Kenosha Chapter of Modern Woodmen
Favor the New Plan.


Favor the New Plan.
Camp No. 1864, Modern Woodmen OF
America, held their annual election OF
officers last night, large majority OF
the members being present.
After the officers for the ensuing
year were elected the question OF pro-
vidine a reserve fund was discussed
and endorsed by almost an unanimous
vote.
Judge Be1den and ex-Head Banker
Geo, Frattt, of Racine, were visitors and
favored the members with addresses
upon the advantages of providing for
the future and thus always keeping
the number of assessments down to
the minimum.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year:
V. &C. H. Ernst.
w. A.-Conrad Shearer.
C1erb-W. L. Hack1ey.

Perkins Brothers Store Entered by
Burglars During the Night and
Small Booty Taken.
ENTERED FROM MAIN STREET.
Men Seemed to Have Found no Trouble In
Entering From the Basement Window.
Loss is Not Known.

They're at it again, and the latest
victim was Perkins Bros grocery
store. Of course, it is not necessary
to state that this refers to burglars, as
the usual program in this city seems
to be burglary a week and no arrests.
The crime committed at the Main
street store was of the most daring
nature, and while the amount secured
by the marauders was very small, 1t is
evident that these crimes are being
committed with little fear of the police.
The men, for there were several OF
them. made an entrance into the store
some time this morning through a
front basement window, which had
been broken. Once inside they forced
open the cellar door and ransacked the
store room. They made an effort to
break into the safe but it was too
strong for them and they were forced to
content themselves with ernptying the
money drawer, which contained cash
to the amount of $40. It is possible
that quite little groceries and tobacco
were taken, but the managers can not
give any estimate of the amount. The
case was reported to the police early
this morning, but they have not found
any clue to the guilty parties.
It seems very strange that the men
should have managed to make their
way into the building under the very
eyes of the police and night watchmen,
but these officials report that no sus-
picuous characters were seen on the
street during the night. A, careful
scrutiny of some of the dens of the city
might give the police some clue to the
perpetrators of these petty robberies
and assist in the capture of the thieves.

A PLEASANT EVENT.
Concert Given by the Young People of the
German Lutheran Church a Success.

One of the most pleasant events ever
given at the German Lutheran school
hall, was the concert given Thursday
evening by the Young Peoples society
OF the church. The entertainment was
given for the Purpose of raising money
to pay off the church debt, and it was
a great financial success.
The program consisted of number
of musical and literary numbers, which
were greatly enjoyed by the large
audience. Mrs. N. G. Stafford, of Chi
cago, sang two solos, which were en-
cored, and the lady responded very
cordially with two pretty ballads.
One of the features of the entertain
ment was the one-act comedy entitled
sThe Teachers Burden" which was
rendered by a number of the young
people.

Racine Man Formally States That he
is a Candidate for Judge Fish's
Position.
JUDGE BELDEN WANTS 1T TOO.
Aud in Case of Hard Fight it is Probable
Several Kenosha Men will Drop Into
the Race-Judge Fish Leads.

While the election of the Circuit
Judge for the First Wisconsin district
does not occur until the early spring,
candidates for the office held by Judge
Fish for the past six years, are loom
ing up in great shape.
At present the fight is three-cor-
nered one, there being three candidates
all from Racine county, but 1t is stated
on the best authority that there are
several Kenosha men who are figuring
not little Oh the office if Judge Fish
is forced to retire. The avowed cand1-
dates are Frank M. Fish, John b. Sim
mons and E. c.. Be1den, all of kac1ne.
The position of Mr.. Simmons has been
neutral until yesterday, and 1T was
supposed that he would be found among
the supporters of Judge Fish, but has
announced his candidacy. Belden is
not considered as strong a candidate
and his only hope Of nomination would
be in the event of long fight between
Fish and Simmons.
While Kenosha county has largely
pinned it's faith to Judge Fish and Will
probably continue to do so, the con-
venti0n promises to be hot one and
Judge Fish will have the hardest fight
of his life to secure the nomination
Fish is, however, looked upon as the
leading candidate, with MIR. Simmons
as a poor second.
JUDGE BELDEN Is A CANDIDATE.
Judge E. B. Be1den, of Racine was
in the city to-day for short time
The Judge states that the requests
which have come to him from the
members of the bar of the circuit and
the people are sufficient to fully war
ant him in positively saying that he
will be candidate for circuit Judge
and will remain a candidate until the
votes have been counted.
Judge Be1den is we'll and favora0ly
known in this county, having held
court here and visited our city fire.
quent1y. 1t is we'll known that Judge
Be1den has filled the position of
County Judge of Racine county with
complete satisfaction for the past
eleven years. Although there is
universal desire in Racine county that
he should remain in the County Court,
he has announced that he can no
longer do so under any circumstances.
