The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. ClHa11's Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
sisting nature IN doing it's work. The
proprietors have so much faith in it's
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testi

GIVE UP The PLAN.
Graham & Morton Company Will Not
Run a Line Between Ken0sha,
Waukegan and Chicago.
OUTLOOK NOT A. BRIGHT ONE.

General Manager Corev, of the Transpor-
tation Company Has Decided That the
Business of the Line Would Not Warrant
It's Establishment-Ke Likely TO
Be Left without Any Lake Transporta-
ton For Another Year.
Kenosha is to be left again this season
without boat service according to the
present outlook.
Contrary to previous statements and
plans, Graham & Morton will not put
on boat to make at least one trip and
possibly two trips daily on the Chica-
go-W aukegan-Kenosha route.
This statement will be a source of
disappointment to the merchants as
well as the public. From assurances
given by officers of the transportation
company, people had looked forward to
an exceptionally good service this
year.
The cause for the change of plans
by the company is given in an inter
view with General Manager Corey, of
the Graham & Morton line.
In conversation over the telephone
with a reporter Wednesday morning
Mr.. Corey said:
Eyes, I am sorry to state that we
have concluded to abandon the Chica-
GOV ukegan-Kenosha route this
season. We had fully planned upon
giving your city service, but we have
looked into the matter carefully and
4 I. ~
the plan"
When asked as to why the matter
had been dropped the manager said
further
eve had planned on purchasing the
steamer Mabel Bradshaw, but that is
not irstc1ass boat and not the kind
your patronage would require. We
had also contemplated putting on the
Mary, but it is more of passenger
steamer than freight carrier and
passenger traffic alone would not pay
The kegan-Kenosha route needs a
large and fast steamer. We lave look
ed into the matter and feel it would not
pay us to do this this year. We are to
build new steamer this year to cost
about $15O,OOO. This will doubtless be
put on the St. Joe route, leaving an
extra boat on our hands, the latter may
be put on the Kenosha route next year.
1t will probably be the City of Mi1wau-
kee."
Barry Bros. have purchased docks in
Racine and it is barely possible that
this company will attempt to run a
boat that will cover the route which
the Graham & Morton company have
abandoned, but even this possibility is
a remote one.
The service from this city to Chicago
alone is stated as not sufficient to pay
and Waukegan adds very little to it.
Capt. Crosby, of the steamer c. H.
Starke, stated last fall that if the field
was clear, he would put on boat be-
tween Kenosha and Chicago strictly
for Kenosha business. Capt. Crosby
is well known in this city and any en-
terprise which he would desire to back
would have the hearty confidence and
cooperation of our merchants.

CITY OFFICIALS WON.
Defeated the School Board at Bowling by
a Score of 1s1 Points

q OCOT6 OF 4o4 Fu44tS
There is but one official bowling
team in the city of Kenosha, and that
is the team composed of the members
of the Common Council. This fact
was proved without shadow of a
doubt Wednesday evening when few
of the members of the Board of Educa-
ton made feeble effort to wrest the
proud title from the A1dermanic tribe.
The game was played at the Maple
House, and while it had been gener-
ous1y advertised, only a few of the
members of the School Board turned
out to accept the challenge of their
fellow p1otters in the City Council.
The members of the School Board
team were exceedingly weak with the
exception of Burg and Harbert, who
are among the shining lights of the
Independent Bowling team. Louie
Eiche1man, in burst of enthusiasm,
put up strong game for one inning
and managed to roll up score of AZ,
which was the highest individual score
made during the evening. Six innings
were played and by the time these
were over the School Board team was
willing to quit even if the score was
over q hundred points in favor of their
opponents. 1t is hardly probable that
the School Board will ask for a return
contest. The score of the game was
as follows:

DONKEY LIKES BEER.
"A Sad Case of What Seems to Be
Inherited Inebriety.
Shaggy Not Only Gets Drunk Herself
But Rushes the GrOwler for Her
Mother-Stays sober
Sundays Only.

According to the Denver Evening
Post. Shaggy is the prettiest little don,
key that ever came TO life in West Den
yer. She is so cute" that the women
never pass her without making some
remark complimentary TO the little
animal.
Shaggy is the property of A. L. Thorn
as, who conducts a saloon at Ninth
street and Santa Fe avenue, and how
the saloon man came to own her is this
way: The man had a friend who was a
miner and owned Granny, the mother
OF Shaggy. Granny was pack donkey
and a good one, too, before she got a
touch of city life. She would carry her
masters tools, bedding, provisions and
anything that could be piled on hel
back, up the long, steep mountain to
where the owner had a prospect" She
never kicked or gEumbled about her
Tabor, and was perfectly contented with
her duties and an opportunity to eat
ipine bark and snow to sustain life and
strength. The owner of Granny went
10 Cripple Creek, and of course the dom
key went along. He was successful in
striking q pocket" and from the pro-
eeeds lined his pockets with good hard
coin. He got his money for the sole
purpose, he said, of spending It, so the
fnmates of the dance halls showed him
the way. He always took Granny with
him to the dance halls so he could ride
her back to his cabin after he had con-
stunned all the beer he could hold.
One night, Just for fun. some OF the
men around the dance hail poured
enough beer down Granny's throat to
get her about half seas over" Then
ishe reeled into the dance hall like a
drunken man and brayed at the noisy
plano. From that time on Granny
was worthless as pack animal. When
the pack was placed on her back and
abe was started up the hill Granny
buclled it off and ran as fast as she
could for a dance hall. The electric

one chance to save her life, and that
was the operation.
Both husband and wife consented. She
was taken TO the hospital in a coach.
Anaesthetics were administered. DR..
Peterson first made an incision into
the throat just below the lower Jaw
bone, while Prof. Bristow and 9TH
ers stood at hand 10 check any hem
orrhages.
The variation of hairs breadth
with the knife meant death. When
the aesophagus was opened or ex-
posed a vertical slit was made in it
with pair of forceps and the broken
plate was removed. The treatment
of the case is as equally interesting.
The slightest movement of the pa
TENTS throat or muscles of the head
might cause death, and such move
ment must be prevented. When the
wound was treated antiseptically the
patients head and upper part of her
body and arms were incased in n
plaster of paris cast. This prevent
ed any movement, and nothing is al
lowed TO pass the woman's lips.
Every 20 minutes n nurse moistens
her lips with water, but she is given
nothing to eat or drink. She is fed
artificially. To eat would interfere
with the wounds healing.
DIR. Peterson said that indications
were very favorable and that Mrs.
Hoffman, would recover. She will have
to remain in plaster of paris for ten
days from the day of operation, and
even after must be very careful.

JBFFERIES STILL CHAMPION.

NEW YORK, May 1l.-For twenty
three fierce rounds before the Seaside
athletic club at Coney Island to night
Jim Corbett made a monkey out oil
Champion Jim Jeifries. Then when
Corbett's hackers were confident that
Pompadaur Jim was about to step once
more into the championship, Corbett
got in the way of a wild swing on his
jaw and it was all over.
Corbett weighed ls5 pounds and JEFF
fries 200, but he looked like 225 at least.
Throughout the % rounds Corbett
looked like winner, except in one or
two instances. He stood off the cham
pion's rushes with a skill and power
that astonished thousands who believed
his vitality gone. In cleverness he was
the same Corbett who dethroned John
l.. Sullivan. He hit Jeffres almost as
he pleased, had him bleeding like a
stuck pig, and Jollled him with good
natured raillery throughout the fight.
Although defeated, Corbett has
sprung from the realms of obscurity to
place next to Jefferies, fit for the best
pugilistic heavy weights, who have for
two years past regarded Pompadeur
jim rs has been.
