MANY Dances in the Evening.

Notwithstanding the heat many
dancing parties were held in the differ
ent halls Of the city in the evening,
and space prevents a mention of all of
them. All were quite well attended,
and pleasant times were the rule, and
until early in the morning the music
of the violin and piano kept bright the
memory of the nations birthday.
Few Accidents Mar the Pleasures.
There were only few accidents re-
ported to mar the pleasure of the day
and none of them were of serious
nature. The usual number Of boys
were slightly injured by premature ex-
p1osions and getting too near the can
mons mouth. Several runaway acct
dents occurred and a number of boys
were slightly injured in that manner.
The most serious injury reported was
to Tom Don1ey, the little son of Thos.
Don1ey. He was freing off fire.
cracker of the bomb order when the
powder exploded prematurely and the
boy was badly burned about the face.
At first it was feared he would lose the
sight of his left eye, but the doctor who
attended him says the injury will not
be serious.
A similar accident occurred at the
home of Charles Langenbach on Jenne
street, when twelve-year-o1d son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Langenbach was struck
in the eye with a giant cracker. The
boy was very seriously injured, and
while DR.. Robinson who was called to
attend him, states that the sight may
be restored, it will be dimmed for some
time. The accident was due entirely
to care1essness on the part of the boys.
George Nye, sixteen-year-o1d boy
residing on Rowland avenue, was the
only victim of a toy cannon. He was
firing the cannon when it exploded
and piece of it struck him in the arm
causing bad flesh wound.
At Paddock's Lake one of the hacks
used to carry the crowds from the sta
ton to the grounds was upset and sew
era1 of the occupants of the vehicle
were slightly injured. Miss Jessie
Wells of this city was injured in this
accident. She fell on the back of her
head and was stunned for few min
utes. Later she was brought back to
KanoSha.

STOPPED A SKIN GAME.
sharpers From Cricago Fail Under Eyes
of Police and are Dispersed

There are number of sharpers in
Chicago today who have considerable
more respect for Kenosha than they
had Wednesday. They had heard that
the city was easy, and came up early
Wednesday morning prepared to re-
turn to their homes with all the spare
change in the city. They had an inno-
cent little Fourth of July game, and
they started the dice rolling at the
corner of Park and Main street. They
had managed to corral a number of
quarters, and suckers were biting at a
lively rate when Officers O'Hare and
Newhouse arrived on the scene and
told the gentlemen to vacate.
At first the men tried to explain that
the game was an innocent one, but the
police had seen the game before, and
when they decided to take the fellows
into custody they plead to be released,
and the officers let them go on the
understanding that they should leave
Kenosha at once. They took the first
train for Racine.

The exercises at the pavilion closed
with the audience singing America.
In the evening the old settlers and
their friends enjoyed an informal
dance in the pavilion.
In all it was one of the most success
full celebrations ever held in the coun-
ty.
At the Barbecue.
At Central Park the prevailing color
was black and the hot weather had no
effect on the co1ored people who had
gathered to celebrate Emancipation
day with a barbecue. There was food
and drink for ali and it was the largest
gathering of the co1ored race ever seen
in this part of the State. The Keno
sha co1ored colony was augmented by
numerous friends from Chicago and
Milwaukee and in all about three hun
dred co1ored people were in attendance.
The day was spent in true picnic style.
The address Of welcome was delivered
by DR.. Johnson, of this city, while at
torney Green, of Milwaukee, and
Mayor Higgins, of Racine, delivered
the "spread eagle speeches of the
day. In the evening an informal
dance completed the celebration of the
day.
Too Hot for the Danes.
1t was too hot for the Danish blood
and for this reason the crowd at
Washington Island was not as large as
had been expected. A large number of
the members of the Danish Brother
hood came in from Racine and Mil
waukee and the day was spent in a
Jolly manner. Games of all sorts and
dancing under the trees on the shore of
the lake filed in several pleasant
hours. The speakers for the day
failed to materia1ize and this portion
of the program was not carried out be-
yond the fact that short address was
made by attorney Robert Wild, of Mil
waukee. The picnic was a great finan-
cia1 success, as the hot weather kept
the boys wetting down all day long.
AT Park City Garden.
One of the most enthusiastic crowds
of the day was ST. Georges congrega-
ton which gathered for picnic at
Park City Garden. It was a jolly
crowd and all Of them had jolly time
during the entire day. The garden is
one of the coolest spots in the city and
the people attending the picnic man
aged to keep cool in some way. Most
of the time was given up to dancing.

4,OOO at Paddock's Lake.

AT PaddOCk'S Lake the Old Settlers
Association entertained one of the
largest crowds that ever gathered on
the grounds. It was a typical ce1e-
bration of the old fashioned sort.
There were bands of music and splen-
did speakers and great crowd of en-
thusiastic American citizens. The
crowd gathered early, and before noon
the enclosure of the grounds was well
filled up. The old crowd of early set
tiers, who are so closely connected
with Paddock Lake, were all out in
force, any many pleasant reunions
were held during the morning hours.
In the afternoon the flood gates of
oratory were turned open, and for
several hours the people were addressed
by the speakers who had been chosen
for the day.
The meeting was opened by Secre-
tary Roberts and the first thing on the
program was the reading of the Dec
laration of independence by John C.
Slater of this city. This was fol-
lowed by an address by Master Mum
son Paddock. The speaker of the day
was Peter Fisher of this city and he
delivered a thrilling address which
awakened great enthusiasm in the
crowd.
One of the most interesting events
of the day was the address by Hon z.
G. Simmons. In pleasing manner
he recalled the history of the early days
and discussed present day problems.
His address was received with great
applause.

BR OTHERS AND SISTERS
or St. Peters Rock Church Having
 Considerable Trouble.

Agnes Ross, an old negro woman, was tried in the circuit court in this city Monday on charge oi disturbing a religious worship.
 She was discharged by the jury as all the evidence in the case con ficteJ and was little in her favor. Quite an interesting story is at taehed to the Ross woman's arrest.
 Seeet.1l months ago the members Of tts ~i Peter Rock Sanctifcation chnteh which is situated in the wester4 part of the city, held an election for the selection of pastor. Rev. Louis Walk. was elected, but the members were divided in the matter and naturally many were dissatisfied. Those who ia vored Rev Mitchell, the defeated pastor, held another election and elected him. Walker had preached several sermons and made an ap- pointment :o preach the followin 2 Sunday, Mitchell got to the church first on that Sunday however, and immediately began hls sermon. Walker came a few minutes later and walking upon the pulpit, he interrupted Mitchell and said he had announced that he would occu py the pulpit on that morning. Mitchell informed him that=he had the floor and would keep it. Walk CT said he didn't waot to "start nothing" so he walked out and his friends followed him. Only few of MiteheI2s friends remained. During the excitement Agnes Ross, the woman who was tried Monday, used her tongue on some of her sisters and they had her arrested on the above stated char.
 On the Sunday following tde children gathered at the church fer Sunday school but to their surprise, found that the bibles and hymn books had been stolen from the building. They sang 'ragtime and then adjourned.
