Stephen Crane.

On the most beautiful spot in Sussex
| England, at Breae Place, built IN thu
year 400, which is really a castle
much of comfort and beauty about it
but ancient freplaces are still pre-
| served, and certain of the "rooms are
still scattered with straw or covered
with sand; in that old mansion lives
and has lived for years Mr.. Stephen
Crane; but he is sick and may be dy'
ing. Mr.. Crane is an American of the
Americans, of the tribe of New Jersey,
and comes from Revolutionary stock.
Many Of his ancestors were soldiers IN
the war of Independence and each one
a good and irrepressible rebel. He is
only twerty-nine, but has made him
self popular as a journalist, novelist
and poet; and if he should die, think
inc reading millions on both sides Of
the Atlantic will sincerely lament his
taking off. Stephen Crane is beloved
not because of literary talent, but be-
cause he is man. The authors first
book Maggie, asgir1 of,sthe streets,
was published in 1892, but no publisher
was responsible for it, and the author
refused his name to the public. The
next book, ''The Red Badge of Cour.

Black Riders on Truth. W
Truth, said traveller,
! Is a rock, mighty fortress;
Often have been to it,
Even to it's highest tower,
From whence the world looks black.
Truth, said a traveller,
Is breath, a wind.
A shadow,a phantom;
Long have pursued it,
But never have touched
The hem of it's garment.
And I believed the second traveller;
For truth was to me
A breath, wind,
A shadow, a phantom,
And never had l touched
The hem of it's garment.
Think as think, said a man,
Or you are abominab1y wicked;
You are a toad.
And after had thought of it,
said, will then, be a toad.

effect on the ''smali brewer contains
the real point of the pinch. It is the
effect on the brewer, large as we'll as
small that makes the corns and buni-

of course, if the aff1uent and multi

over a dollar per barrel tax, the tax
must be lifted, and beer swing free on
every valuable street corner in every
city and village. Such powerful
friends of temperance must be en-

Brewers for Temperance.

Things are getting bad in America.
The pious but rotund brewers of the
country are in a condition of intense
CONSERVATION over the moral state of
society. They lament and bewai1 the
fact that Uncle Sans children are
rapidly rushing to the Devil of intern
perance, and declare that the war tax
of one dollar per barrel on the products
of the brewery must be lifted or his
Satanic majesty will have us sure.
@"The continuance of this outrageous
taxi, it is argued, affecting as it does
the article Of consumption that has
Justly earned the title of the most
powerful promoter of temperance, and
which to the great mass of the working
people is both food and drink, would
be an unwise course, not only on &C
count of injury to the consumer and
its evil consequences to the cause of
temperance, but also by reason of it's
effects on the small brewer. But we
have seen large breweries driving out
little ones; in fact, it is being done
continually; and we know that the
beer guzz1er is as Incorporate and
base as any inebriate who sca1ds his
throat with bad whiskey. But the last

AFTER A FACTORY
Bode Bros, Attempting to Bring the Fred
erick Kuhn Co. to Kenosha.

Bode BROS, Attempting TO brlnS Gne Leu-
erick Kuhn Co. to Kenosha.
Bode Bros, the we'll known Main
street department store men, have
started little business mems assOcia-
ton in Kenosha and are now making
an effort to secure the removal of the
plant of the Frederick Kuhn Furniture
Company from Chicago to this city.
The company, which is one of the best
known of the smaller furniture COM
panies i'll the middle West, is located
in a rented building in Chicago. They
have decided to build a factory
and have written to the Kenosha men
to get some pointers on this city as
site for the new plant. The company
has excellent backing and will proba-
bly, build their factory within the next
few months. Mr.. Bode has taken the
matter in hand and has written the
company in regard to the advantages
which this city offers for factory site
and has received a favorable reply.
The managers of the company will
be in the city some time this week to
take look around and ascertain what
land could be secured for factory pur-
poses. When the,new building is COM
p1eted the company intend to make a
large increase in their output. At
present the plant is utilized for the
manufacture of novelties in the furni-
ture line, but the business has been
so successful that they have decided to
| branch out into other lines in order to
better serve the jobbers dependent
| upon them.
During the last few years the COM
pany has worked up a large trade in
| the East and West, and some of the
largest iobbers in the country are buy
ing exclusively of them. Should they
decide to locate in this city they will
build factory similar to the one now
utilized by the Kenosha Crib company.
On the outset they would employ be-
tween seventy-five and a hundred
men.
Mr.. Bode has presented the claims of
the city as a factory center, and has
cited the fact that every factory in
Kenosha has been eminent1y success
full, and that in the past five years
almost every factory established has
more than doubled it's capacity.
The manufacturers of the city will
be glad to welcome the Kuhn people to
Kenosha, and if they want anything
all that is necessary is for them to ask
for it.

Will co TO NOME
Howard Robinson and Howard
KehIor of This City to Try the
Mysteries OF the KIondike.
TO EXPLORE UNKNOWN LANDS

The Two Young Men From This City will
Go 60 the Northern Regions in the Next
Few Weeks to Prospect for Gold and will
Take Along a Launch, With Which They
Intend to Explore the Unknown Regions
of the Klondike.
Kenosha's representation in the gold
regions of Alaska will be increased
about the first of June by the addition
Of Howard Robinson, the we'll known
news and stationery dealer, and How
ard Keh1or. Messrs. Robinson and
Keh1or will sail for Cape Nome from
Seattle May 10, and Mr.. Keh1or is now
in the Washington city making ar
engagements for the voyage. Mr.. Rob
inson is now arranging his business in
this city for a long stay away and will
leave about the twelfth of May for
Seattle. The business in Kenosha
will be continued under his name and
his brother, G. r. Robinson, will be
left in charge.
In going to the K1ondike both the
Kenosha boys are going out as soldiers
of fortune. While it is the primary
plan for Mr.. Robinson to recuperate
his health, the boys will also go into
the prospecting business and attempt
to locate some of the shining gold
which is waiting for claimants in the
far Northern climate. The boys will
reach Cape Nome about the first of
June and it is their intention to re-
main in the gold fields until the com
ing of the long, cold winter. They
will take with them a complete outfit
for prospecting, including all the min
ing tools as well as provisions for
year. They will make an attempt to
secure claim along the beach, but if
this is impossible they will go up the
country and take their lot with the
common prospectors. They have
planned to return to the states in the
fall, but should they be successful in
locating a claim Mr.. Kehlor will re-
main during the winter and Mr.. Rob-
inson will return to assist him in the
early spring. The outfit which the
Kenosha boys are taking with them is
very elaborate one and it shows that
they have some plans which have not
been divu1ged to the people OF Keno
sha. Among the things which Mr..
Keh1or is getting together at Seattle is
a gasoline launch which is to be taken
with them as far as the Cape. From
this point the boysa1wil1t use the boat
for the purpose of making some ex-
p1oration trips along the rivers of
Alaska. Many of these little streams
have never been navigated and the
boat of the Kenosha boys will be the
first to touch their shores. Led on by
the spirit of adventure it is hard to
prognosticate what discoveries the Ke-
nosha men may make. The boys
are not taking the trip as a pleasure
trip in any way, but they are going to
the gold regions with the notion that
the visit will be profitable one. The
best wishes of all their friends in this
city will go with them and we hope to
hear Of both Of the boys finding rich
stake,

0. S. NEWELL DEAD.
Well Known Resident Of the CITY
Passed Away tuesday Morning
at the Sanitarium.
HIS DEATH WAS UNEXPECTED

Hac Seen Taken III During the Night and
Died at Five oclock-H1s Long Resi-
dence in Kenosha and Some of His Work
for the City-was One Time Mayor of
Kenosha and a Member of the Common
Council for Several Years.
Hon. OCtavius S. Newell. ex-Mavor
of Kenosha, and one of the best known
citizens of Southern Wisconsin. died
suddenly at the Pennoyer Sanitariun
Tuesday morning. Mr.. Newell had
been at the Sanitarium since his family
went abroad last fall and his health
had been in very delicate condition
for some time. He retired in usual
health last evening, but was taken i'll
during the night and death came
shortly after o'clock.
Octavius S. Newell was for many
years one of Kenosha's best known
citizens. He was born in Detroit.
Mich, May "a, 1887, his parents being
Mr., and Mrs. Theodore Newell. When
he was four years of age he came with
his parents to Southport, where he
grew to manhood. He was prepared
for college at Northampton, Mass,
and later graduated from Yale Uni
versity just before the civil war. When
the war broke out Mr.. Newell was
made clerk to the Chief Ouartermaster
on General Grants staff and served in
this capacity for two years. He then
became associated with his father and
others in the lumber business in Chi
cago, where Mr.. Newell remained in
business until 1869. Mr.. Newell con-
tinued to reside in Chicago until after
the Chicago fire, after which he re-
moved to this city, where he has since
made his home. In November, 1866,
Mr.. Newell was united in marriage to
Miss Mary O. Jones, a daughter of
Daniel A. Jones, one of the prominent
citizens of Chicago.
A widow and five children survive
him: Mrs. Charles Matthews, forn-
er1y of Milwaukee; Mrs. Fred c.
A1drich, daughter-in-1aw of ex-Con-
gresham A1drich, of Chicago; Made
1eine, Edith Harris and Douglas, all of
this city.
In his political affiliations Mr.. New
/ ell was always a Republican ard he
has always been interested in politics.
He has been called upon to fill num-
Der of official positions in the city and
in 1888 he was elected Mayor of the
city. During his term as Mayor he
gave much of his time to efforts to pay
off the city debt. He also served the
city as a member of the Common
Council and always proved himself a
valuable and efficient official Toward
all public enterprises Mr.. Newell has
always been very liberal and he was
ever a staunch friend of the 1aborirg
man. In other years Mr.. Newell was
a great reader and had amassed large
library which was one of the greatest
delights of his declining years.
For the past few years Mr.. Newell
had been an invalid and had lived
retired life. His death at this time
will come as a sad blow to his family
on account Of the fact that the wife
and two daughters are travelling IN the
Orient and it will be impossible for
them to reach the city in time for the
funeral.
The funeral will be held from his
late residence on Prairie avenue at
1850 o'clock this afternoon. Burial
private.
