FENCE TORN down,
Police ard Alderman Capture the
Out Works of Commodore Nor
gan This Morning.
HAD BUILT FENCE IN THE ROAD
old Trouble over Chestnut Street Comes
up Again and the Police Destroy
a Fence Built by Mr.. Morgan.

From the way in which the police
and aldermen hurried to the north side
this morning it was supposed that there
had been riot call sent in, but later
an investigation showed that it was
nothing more than the fact that car
penters in the employ Of F. w. Morgan
were attempting to build fence across
the terminus of Chestnut street near
the Morgan clubhouse. It is the same
old fence that had been under discus
sion before, and it was thought that
the matter of Morgan taking the road
had been settled. However, at an
early hour this morning, two carpen-
tiers started the work going and the
fence was rapidly being placed in the
middle of the road. Of course the men
employed by the commodore had ar
ranged to build a gate for the use of
Kenosha people, but the fence would
have, if completed, put an end to the
street SO far as ali general use is con-
cerned. A short time ago the council
demanded that the street be left open
and when the fence was going up this
morning the people living in the neigh
borhood got excited and called for the
police. Chief O'Hare soon had Ser
geant Newhorse and Aldermen Smith,
O'Brien and Greenwa1d in line and
they marched to the scene of the trouble.
The carpenters didn't show any in
tention of quitting work at the sight
of the police and the aldermen, and the
latter didn't waste any time, but fell
upon that fence with a vengeance and
tore down the whole thing. There was
no system about the work of the alder
men and police and when they had
completed their 1abors it looked very
much as if that portion of the fence
situated in the road had been struck by
| a cyclone. Of course the destruction
of the fence by the officials caused a
great howl from the club house, but it
is hardly possible that the fence will be
built again until the council and Mr..
Morgan reach some agreement.
It is greatly regretted that the Coun-
Gil and the Commodore cannot make
some agreement in regard to the i'm
| proving of the street. The street, as
it now stands, is well nigh impass-
able, and the owner of the club house
has signihed a Willingness to improve
the road and to erect fountain near
the harbor if the city will grant him
the use of the road for time long
enough to warrant the expenditure of
the money.
With these improvements the beauty
of the street near the harbor would be
greatly enhanced, and the property
would be in keeping with its surround
ings. Mr.. Morgan has shown a dis
position to do the right thing for the
city, and it is to be hoped that the
| Council and he will be able to make
some agreement in the near future.

LIBRARY rs OPENED.
Gilbert NJ Simmons Library is opened to
the Public This Morning.

The Gilbert M. Simmons Memorial
Library was thrown open for the use of
the people of Kenosha this morning
and Mrs. Barnes and the assistant
librarians were kept busy supplying
the demands for books. The fact that
the library had been closed for several
weeks caused an increased demand for
reading matter and the boys and girls
came to the library in throngs this
morning. The reading room promises
TO be very popular place. While this
was the first day that the library was
open many of the patrons fingered in
the reading room and seemed to find
the place a pleasant one. The long
tables in the reading room have been
loaded down with copies of all the
contemporaneous magazines as well as
a number of papers for the children.
There are about FIVE thousand books
on the shelves at present and others
will be bought in the near future.

THE United States being great in
dustria1 and commercial nation, the
ideal man for President is one of
sound business intelligence, with a
capacity for harmonizing all indus
trial interests and promoting the
growth of our agricultural, manufac-
turing and commercial interests. The
executive chair is no place for the ex-
p1oitation of financial vagaries, or
claims based upon alleged antagonism
between labor and capital. Bryan is
then, from a practical business stand
point, wholly unfit for the place he
seeks. If he is the financial genius
and great administrator that his adj
mirers represent him to be, why is it
that since he became prominent no
great business enterprise has sought
to avail itself of his talents? What
railroad has offered him its Presi-
dency? What ma Iufacturing or bank

sought his services! Such men as

A STRANGE CONTEST.
Charles Johnson Built His House on An
other Mans Lot-wno owns the House?

other Mans Lot-Wno owns the House?
A most peculiar state of affairs has
been discovered IN the Third ward and
the solution of the vexed problem in
wolves the question of the ownership of
a house valued at something over
81, 500. Five years ago Charles John
son purchased lot in one of the
additions to the city in the Third ward
and when he got his deed the man who
sold the lot pointed out the lot supposed
to be purchased and a few days later
the work of building a nice little resi-
dence on the lot was started. This was
FIVE years ago, and after the house was
completed Mr.. Johnson moved in and
has lived there ever since. A short
ago he desired to make a change in the
insurance on the house and in looking
up the matter he discovered that the
lot on which his house had been built
was not the lot he had purchased but a
lot belonging to a former resident of
Kenosha now living in Evanston.
1t seems that in some manner John
son got mixed and took the lot next to
the one that was sold to him. OF
course the mix-up will cause a great
deal of trouble, and there is question
if Johnson has not built house for
the use of another man. Of course
with the consent of the owner of the
lot the house could be moved to Mr..
Johnson's property, but should the
owner of the lot object the house would
probably have to remain as part of the
realty.
There was never similar case in
the history of the county and the out
come of it will be watched with
interest

For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines
From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad, N. c.
1t may be question whether the ed
itor Of newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as preventive of suffer
ing we feel it duty to say a good
word for Chamberlain Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have al
ways found it reliable. In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while a physician is
awaited. We do not believe in de-
pending implicitly on any medicine
for cure, but we do believe that if a
bottle of Chamberlain Diarrhoea
Remedy we're kept on hand and ad-
ministered at the inception of an at
tack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence of
a physician would not be required. AT
least this has been our experience dur
ing the past twenty years. For sale

HAD England and Germany stood by
Japan a few years ago, when Russia
demanded of Japan the surrender of
Port Arthur and ali the best fruits of
her war with China, how mnch more
favorable would today's situation be
for restoring order in China without
throwing additional provinces into the
grasp of the Bear. Those two nations,
ia supporting Russian injustice in that
instance, for fear Of an increase of ia
pans power and prestige, made them
selves responsible for Russia's subse-
quent occupancy of Port Arthur, carry
ing with it the ability to assume the
leading part in the present inbroglio
and to demand the lions share in case
China were divided. Had American
industrial interests in the Orient in
1895 been what they are today, and our
navy as large as now, the influence of
the United States might have prevent
ed the wrong done Japan. The occu-
pancy by the latter of the Port Arthur
peninsula and Korea today would be of
inca1cu1ab1e value to all interests i'm
peri1ed by Russia's schemes of self
agrandizement. It may perhaps prove
fortunate for America that the memory
of Russia's conduct IN the above in
stance is yet fresh in the minds of our
people. 1t will early restrain our gov
eminent from yielding its consent to
any proposition which shall look to
guardianship over the associated in
terests of the powers or to Russian
supremacy in the reconstruction of the
Chinese government.

G. H. GULL, a banker of Nebraska,
in speaking of business conditions in
the Bryan state relates the following
incident as one of many illustrating
the change that has come over the face
of affairs in the west in the past four
years. Mr.. Gull says that on day
during thecampaign of '96 a gentleman
stepped into his office, as he thought,
for the purpose of paying loan then
due. But instead of returning the
money as was expected of him ithe
gentleman went on to say thatlhe had
absolutely no means with (which to pay
the debt. Notwithstanding the bank
itself was then 1aboring under the
stringency Mr.. Gull renewed the loan.
Later Mckinley was elected and the
prosperous times soon set in. Since
then the gentleman has paved off
the debt and deposited enough
in the bank to pay it again.
This, as Mr.. Gull says, is only one of
the u1duV duu uldUS 11lSI1bNCo VI Liz
recuperating effects of the Republican
administration on business affairs in
the west. Surely Mr.. Gull then was,
and still is, in position to understand
the business conditions. He is in the
closest possible touch with all kinds of
wea1th-producing industries and knows
as only men in such positions can
know, the marvellous change for the
better wrought by the election of Mr..
Mckinley and it's disastrous results to
the Bryan boom. Mr.. Gull bears out
the statements of Alexander Orr that
the Bryan movement of '96-got it's i'm
petus from feeling quite the contrary
of what exists now among the farmers
and business men of Nebraska and the
whole west. 1t is not at all certain
that this young Bryan will be able to
hold his own even in the states most
strong in his cause four years ago.

catarrn Cannot be cured

with local applications, as they cannot

is a blood or constitutional disease,
and in order to cure it you must take

one of the best physicians in this

prescription. It is composed of the
best tonics known, combined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly on

CHRONIC KICKERs.
Some in Every Household in Kenosha, but
They Are Growing Less.

Chronic kickers the kidneys are
when they're sick.
What makes the kidneys sick? A
simple thing,
They have too much to do.
Must keep up their work; they never
rest.
Can't blame them for kicking.
Ever have your kidneys kick?
Ever have bad back, lame, weak,
or aching one?
Know it's the kidneys kicking?
The back aches because the kidneys
are b1ockaded.
Help the kidneys with their work.
The back will ache no more.
Lots of proof that Doan's Kidney
Pills do this.
It's the best proof, for it comes from
Kenosha.
Read this case:
Mr.. J. Weber, of 1912 Geneva street,
Racine, employed at Mi11er's shoe fac
tory, says: 81 tried Doan's Kidney
Pills and received so much positive
benefit from them that recommend
the remedy to all who are in any way
troubled with their kidneys. Mine
were very weak, and although | did
not suffer as much as some with back
ache, still the action of the organs was
irregular, the .secretions disco1ored,
contained sediment like brick dust, and
finally my whole system became af-
fected. From the first day I began
taking Doan's Kidney Pills my kid
neys grew stronger, performed their
work more naturally, and when /
stopped taking them my health was
better than it had been in a long time. :"

HAS anybody noticed din1inution
in the number of commercial travellers,
such as was predicted as result of
the concentration of business in the
hands of the trusts? We were told
that $4,000 of them would lose their
employment. But they did not. The
gentlemen of the grip, like the poor,
are destined to be always with us, and
a good deal more welcome. The truth
is that the trusts have utterly failed to
monopo1ize the industries of this coun-
try. The torrents of American energy
and activity overflow and break down
ali the dams set up to restrain or con-
fine them.
