LEASE THE FOUNDRY
Marnette, Wisconsin, Men in Town
to Start New Industry at the
Lippert Foundry.
WOULD MAKE WAGON sKEIEs.
The Wagon Makers Association, Of Which
Frank slosson is President, is said
to be Behind the Deal.

Messrs, Prentice and Benson, of
Marinette, Wisconsin, who are en-
gagged in the business of the manufac-
ture of wagon skeins in that city, were
in Kenosha today and practically
closed deal for a FIVE years lease of
the Lippert foundry on Exchange
street. 1t is the purpose of the gentle
men TO move their plant from Mari
nette to this city a once. Little is
known of the new industry in Keno
sha, but Mr.. Lippert was seen last
night and stated that the deal had
been on for some time and that all the
terms had been agreed upon, 1t seems
that the new firm is being bac ked by
the National Wagon Makers associa-
ton, of which Frank Slosson Of this
city is the President. For some time
the men interested in the deal have
been employed to make skeins for RAJ
cine and Kenosha Wagon works and
the new industry will probably be
largely controlled by Racine aud Ke-
nosha capital.
The new firm Will have control of
the entire foundry, and in order to &C
commodate their works they will have
to have an addition built to the large
buildings of the Lippert company.
The location of the plant in this city
has been hard fight, as the Racine
wagon makers made a strong effort to
have the Marinette men locate the
plant in Racine The 1essees of the
foundry buildings are planning to-
take possession of the buildings at
once and the transfer will proba bly, be
made within the next two or three
days.
AS to the magnitude of the plant it
is stated that fifty men will be en-
p1oyed, and about twenty families will
be brought here from Marinette to
take the places in the works. The an
nua1 output of the plant will be be-
tween fifty and a hundred thousand
dollars. Mr.. Lippert and his sons,
who have been in charge of the foun-
dry for the past two years, will prob
ably remain with the new company.
While the main product of the foun-
dry will be wagon skeins, the company
will also do a general foundry bust
ness, and will expect to take up a large
amount of the business of the Lippert
Company.
The factory at the corner of Ex-
change street is. getting to be one of
the busiest places in the city. The
Kenosha Sash & Door company have
largely increased their facilities for
turning out work, and the Wells &
Messier company are working up
splendid business
When the new plant is installed
Exchange street will become quite a
ma nufacturing district

BIG FIRE IN RACINE.
Wisconsin Wheel Works is DESTROYED by
Fire, Involving a Loss of 100000.

Wisconsin Wheel Works is DESTROYED by
Fire, Involving Loss of 100000
The factory of the Wisconsin Wheel
works, formerly the Beebe Manufac-
turing company, of Racine, burned
Thursday night 1t Caught in the
japaning department and before the
fire department could check it de-
stroyed the ename1ing, fling, ship
ping, finishing and other departments.
The buildings were frame and two
stories high. The value of the plant is
100000; the loss in stock, buildings
and machinery is estimated at between
$4,000 and S60, 900, on which there is a
blanket insurance of $50, 900 distributed
in thirty different companies.
The most of the stock in the com
pany is owned by William T. Lewis &
Son, William M. Lewis, G. D. Sinclair
and Harry Van Arsda1e. The busy
season was about over, the company
having only about $500 orders to fill
and had just turned out 5000 wheels
this season. In the busiest time 800
hands were employed and 300 are
thrown out of employment.
That the plant will be rebuilt is GER
tain. During the fire the Gold Medal
Camp Furniture company's factory
narrowly escaped burning, lumber
piles close by catching FIRE. The roofs
of five houses caught fire, but the
structures were saved.
Besides the loss from the destruction
of the plant Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Van
Arsdale, who are well known in this
city, sustain heavy private loss in
the way of the destruction of all their
household goods and wearing apparel.
A short time ago Mr.. and Mrs. Van
Arsda1e went to New York, and all
their household goods and other val
uab1es were stored III the warehouse of
the wheel works. They were all totally
destroyed.

UNDER THE FLAG,
Private John Orth, of Kenosha, Gives
up His Life for His Country in
the Philippines.
A BRAVE EFFICIENT SOLDIER.
Kenosha Boy Was Shot Through the Head
While on DUTY Near san Ildefonso
In the Province of Luzon.

Kenosha is indeed bearing her part
in suppressing the war in the Philip
pines, and today many hearts and
homes in Kenosha are saddened by
the news Of the death of Private John
Orth, of this city, who was fighting
with the thirty-t1fth Infantry of Volun-
teers in the province of Luzon.
The death of Private Ortiz, while it
brings sorrow to his friends in Keno
sha, was a heroic one, and the Keno
sha boy fell Ahi1e performing his duty.
For the past year Orth has been serv-
ing in the Philippines, and on April
18th he was acting as a guard to a
wagon carrying meat. Shortly after
eight O'Clock the wagon was fired upon
by the insurgents near San I1defenso,
and at the end of the first volley it
was found that the brave Kenosha boy
had fallen pierced through the head by
a rebel bullet He died short time
later.
1t was at first intended to send the
remains to this country for interment,
but afterwards it was found that such
a course would be impossible, and the
remains of the Kenosha County SOL
der, wrapped in the flag for which he
had fought so valiantly, were laid to
rest in the National cemetery in Ma
Mia.
But the letters of the officers Of the
company to which private Ortiz belong
ed speak louder of his heroism and
worth as a soldier than any obituary
that could be written. These letters
are given as they were received by the
sorrowing relatives OF the deceased in
this city as follows:
Ba1inag, P. l., April 10, 1900.
Chas. Orth, Racine, Wis.
Dear Sir. 1t is my sad duty to have
to inform you of the death of your son,
which occurred last night near San
Ildefonso, Luzon, about 8 P. m. He
was acting as guard on wagon carry
ing meat. Shortly after leaving San
I1defonso the wagon was fired on by
insurgents and private Ortiz fell at the
first fire, shot through the head, dying
shortly afterwards.

The regimenta1 adjutant, Lieut..

Orth was, in his opinion, the best man
in the regiment and one whose services
were indispensable to him.
His body will be emba1med and sent

A COSTLY PROPOSITION
City Engineer Moth Completes His Eati-
mate of Cost of the Railway Paving

City Engineer Moth Completes His Eati-
mate of Cost of the Railway Paving
City Engineer Moth has completed
his estimate as to the cost of the paw
ing on Main, Market and Prairie Ave
nue. which is to be paid for by the pro-
motors of the Haynes-Clausen fran
chise and if the promoters keep their
promise to the city the proposition will
prove to be a very costly one.
The estimate of the city engineer
shows that the expense to the company
will be $3,972.10.
The. greatest expense to the company
will come from paving on Main street
where the cost will be 81. so a foot for a
total of 1885 feet making a total cost
for this, street of $1,000. so.
On market street the cost will be al
most as great The estimate shows
that the cost of the paving per lineal
foot was 97c. The total frontage to be
paid for is 1880 feet and the total cost
will therefore be 81, 825. 90.
Prairie Avenue will not be a great
expense to the company as they will
pass over but 100 feet of the paving en-
failing a cost OF S88. This sum added
to the considerations already allowed
the city will bring the amount up to
quite large figure. OF course the or
dinance is not passed as yet and it is
expected that before final action is
taken the residents of every street
passed over by the company will petit
ton the council to have the company
insure the paving of at least part Of
the street.
