A Son. OF Summer.

Out In the open country fields,
With the green grass blowing merrily,
The daisies nod and the dewdrops shine,
A iassie and laddie come tripping along,
Like the fair day smiling brightly;
They pluck the flowers and they hum q
song
AS they shake off the dewdrops lightly.
The song tells how neither you nor l
Nor anyone else they know
Has drunk the full cup of the joy of the
fields.
Whore the daisies and buttercups grow.
You may rise when the flowers open their
You may battle your feet in the dew
You may live as the children of nature
The whole long summer through.
But -therell still be secret of nature's
own
Beyond your human ken;
1t is known to the fairies who dwell IL
the grass,
But is hid from the sons of men.
Yet whenever together lad and a. lass
Trip hand in hand through the fields,
They fancy they drink with the elfin race
All the sweetest that nature yields -
Out in the full. free light of the sun
Where the green grass bloweth merrill,
The lass and the lad go dancing by
Singing their songs right cheerily.

The Common To:ks.

If only sweetest bells were rung.
How we should miss the minor chimes!
If only grandest poets sung,
Thcre'd be no simple little rhymes.
The modest clinging vine adds grace
To all the forests giant oaks,
And mid earth's mighty is place
To people with just common folks.
Not they the warriors who shall win
Upon the battle field a name
To sound above the awful din,
Not theirs the painters deathless fame;
Not theirs the poets muse that brings
The rhymic gift his soul invokes;
Theirs but t D do the simple things
That duty gives just common folks.

BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL.
Jason othrop Buys the selleck Farm
will Go Into Ice Business.

With the election of President Nc
kinney a real estate deal that has been
hanging fire for some time, has been
closed. and as a result the large Sci
1eck farm adjoining the city limits on
the southwest has been sold to Jason
Lothrop, the consideration being in
the neighborhood of $4,000. A part
of the land, that is fifteen acres, on the
northeast corner, has been reso1d by
Mr.. Lothrop to Mrs. Clark, a sister of
H. C,1Crook, of this city, and it has
been subdivided into seventy lots and
plated as the H. G. Crook addition.
The new addition to the city prom
Uses to be popular one and already
contracts have been made for building
three houses on lots In the subdivision.
Mr.. Lothrop will use the remainder
of the land for an unique purpose. It
is the plan to turn three or four acres
of it into an artificial lake on which
may be harvested ice during the winter
months. On the banks of the little
lake small ice house will be erected
at once and an effort will be made to
supply IA1S 1ACLlOS4o ~ NOhA P1hASS
with clear lake ice next season. For
some time the local companies have
been forced to bring their ice from the
northern lakes on account of the fact
that the ice trust controlled the lakes
of the county. On this account the
rates for ice have been larger than they
wou1ts have been with the ice nearer
home. However, if Mr.. Lothrop's
scheme is a success, the Kenosha COM
pany will be in good condition to buck
the trust in other seasons and the price
of ice will be reduced.
The remainder of the Se11eck farm,
containing little over twenty-seven
acres, is still on the market and will be
sold by E. r, Head.

NOVEL INSURANCE SCHEME.

Miss Mildred Holland, who is soon
to startaout a gain in "The Power Be-
hind the Throne" in which she is to
play Aria, not content with getting
out the prettiest Autograph paper
which has been seen in stage circles
for some time, last week sprung a new
advertising scheme, which was not
only novel, but to those who were sin
on ito very beneficial. She has sent
each dramatic editor in the country an
accident insurance policy for 500,
good for a year, and now they can
travel down town in the trolley cars
realizing that some one will be 500
better off if they be killed. The paper
which Miss Holland is using in connec-
ton with her Aria part has already
been seen7in this city and greatly ad-
mired. 1t is very heavy and finely
finished in co1ors, so that it rivals any
thing that has been put out this or any
other season.-From Pittsburg Leader,
Sunday, Oct 18th, 1900.

COAL PILES BURN,
Fire Menaces the Property of the
Latin & Rand Company at
Pleasant Prairie.
GREAT RECORD FOR A WEEK
The Kenosha Mills Shipped 1859 Kegs OF
Powder Going far Beyond the Output
of Any M1ll-Progress for One Year.

Trouble and rejoicing are mingled
at the plant of the Latin & Rand
powder works today-trouble on &C
count of the fact that the great piles of
coal owned by the company are burn
ing, and rejoicing on account of the
fact that during the past week the out
put was greater than that OF any other
powder mill in the world.
Some time ago the Latin & Rand
company got in train load of coal
containing something over one thou
sand tons of soft coal. It was dumped
on the open prairie and few days
later it was discovered that fires were
burning in the center of the pile.
Every effort possible has been made to
locate the fire, but all have failed. The
fire is supposed to have resulted from
spontaneous combustion and smoke
from the burning coal is seen all over
the prairies surrounding the plant. If
the fire is not soon extinguished the
financial loss to the company will be
exceedingly large. There is no chance
for the fire to spread from the coal pile
to thesbui1dings, as the utmost caution
was used in pi1ing the coal and it is so
far away from the buildings in which
powder is stored that it is practically
impossible for the fire to be carried to
them.
The Kenosha powder mills took its
place at the head of the makers of
powder in the whole world last week,
when the output was 13, 559kegs. That
was the largest amount of powder ever
turned out by any mill in the world.
Each keg contained twenty-five pounds
of the explosive, making the total out
put of the plant for six days 338,975
pounds. But this large output will not
in any way prevent more increase in
the future, as the plant will be worked
to even a greater output.
The plant is now considered the
largest of it's kind in the world and
many Improvements will be started in
the early spring. Since the plant
located in Kenosha it has made a rec
ord of constant improvement and new
buildings and with the large tract of
land owned by the company great
things are to expected of it in the near
future.

CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION
Ten Kenosha Young Men are Placed on
List of Eligbles for Positions

Postmaster Charles Frantz has re-
ceived from Washington the result of
the civil service examination HELD in
this city or Sept. "a, and as a resu1tgof
the receipt of this information a clerk
and a substitute mail carrier will be
appointed during the next few days.
The result of the examination does
not augur we'll for the young men of
the city who took the examination. OF
the twenty who attempted to pass the
examination but ten were placed on
the list OF eligib1es for the two posi-
tions. Those who passed the eXamin-
alton did not make as large grades as
have been made in former examina-
tons by Kenosha people, the highest
grade for the c1erkship being only
1928, while the high grade in the car
rier section of applicants was 70. The
full list of e1igib1es, as shown by the
returns in the order of their grades, are
as follows:
For Mailing C1erk-A1bert Meyer,
Carlos r. Aspinwall, Theodore Abel,
Charles Voight, j. B. Edwards, of
Bristol, Jacob Schaeffer.
For Substitute Carrier William F.
Grewenow, Herman @. II. Piske,
George w. Harrington.
On the old register for carrier there
are still three names which will be
eligible to the office of substitute car
rier until after Jan. 18th. OF the whole
lot James Te1far holds the rank, while
Howard Balm and 7. 7. Parker are
also on the list. 1t is probable that
the substitute carrier position will go
to Telfar.
AS to the appointment of clerk to
take the place of John Burg the post
master has not as yet made any an
nouncement, but it is probable that
the new clerk will be selected from the
first three on the list of e1igib1es. The
postmaster has the right to select any
one of the first three on the list, and
the man who is best qualified for the
nouncement of the choice will be made
during the week.
For the past few months the clerks
in the office have been working extra
time in order to allow the appointment
of a permanent mailing clerk, and the
choice must be made at once in order
to get the new man at work before the
holiday rush begins.
The substitute carrier will begin his
duties early in December.

THEY USE AN Ak,
Burglars Break Into the Office OF
the KenOsha Lumber Company
Monday Night.
ATTEMPT TO BREAK SAFE OPEN
But the Attempt was Fooled by the Safe
Breakers Being Disturbed in Their
Work-Their Tools Left Behind.

Are you an ak missing? If you are,
it may assist them to unrave1 the mys-
terry of a daring attempt to break open
the big iron safe of the Kenosha Lum-
Der Company Monday evening,
The attempt was evidently the work
of locals, and they left behind an ak,
which is the only clue the officers have
with which to trace them. The en-
trance into the building was made
some time during the night, the bur
g1ar or burglars breaking open Win
dow at the rear of the building. Once
inside the office the men made terri
BILE assault on the safe. They first at
tempted to break the big door with the
blunt end 'of the ak, but when this
failed they assaulted the door with the
other end. But the safe stood firm.
The door was broken in several places
and the dial was broken off.
At this time it seems that the burg
lars were frightened away, and left in
such haste that they left their tools
behind.
The case was reported to the police
as soon as it was discovered, and the
ak is now in their possession. 1t seems
evident that the work was that of
some local talent, as no burglar who
is accustomed to breaking safes
would have attempted to force one of
the heavy iron doors with an ak. The
recent 'burg1aries are giving the police
no end of trouble, and they seem to be
unable to make any Roadway in cap
turing the.gang now at work.
While the supposition is that the
work is being done by the crowd of
tramps infesting the city, the police
are of the opinion that they are being
assisted by local tcrooks, and SUSPECT
Gus characters are being closely
watched.
It must be about time for another
hot air railway story.

AFTER THE FIRE TEAM.
Milwaukee Fire Department Seeks tt
Purchase the Famous White Team.

Milwaukee Fire Department Seeks to
Purchase the Famous White Team.
The fame of Kenosha's trio of white
fire horses has gone beyond the city
and members of the Milwaukee fire
department were here recently seeking
to purchase them for their department.
The horses are said to be the peer of
any tree in the state and for this
reason the Milwaukee department have
been casting envious glances in this
direction for some time. They are one
of the traditions of the city depart
ment and the Chief states that they are
not fogfssale at any price. However,
the Milwaukee department seem to
think that money will overru1e tradi-
tons and they are still making an
effort to get them. It is stated on the
best of authority that they offered to
pay the Kenosha department 81, 900 for
the three horse and were willing to
raise the price to 81, 500, if that will
c1inch the purchase.
Chief Barr was seen today and con-
frmed the story that the Milwaukee
department was after the horses, but
he stated further that the negotiations
would never amount to anything, as
the horses would not be sold. The
three horses were purchased by the
city for about 5000.

ASKS FOR A PARDON.
Libbie King Seeks Pardon for lie Roy
King, Now in Waupun.

Notice has been given that Libbie
King will apply for a pardon for
LIE Roy King, who was sentenced by
Judge.Fish to spend fifteen years in
the State prison. The application for
the pardonswi11 recall one of the most
sensational crimes ever committed in
Kenosha county.
On the 18th of October, 1895, King
was arrested on a charge Of commit
ting a crimina1Gassau1t on a little girl
by the name of Anna Schmeke1, who
resided in the town of Bristol. At the
time of the trial of the case the defen-
dant plead guilty and was sentenced to
Waupun for a period of fifteen years.
At the time of the crime it was claimed
that there were extenuating circum-
stances, but these were not brought
forward ty the defendant, and he was
given an extreme penalty.
Since he has been in the state prison
he has been model prisoner and the
people who were instrumental in his
prosecution and sentence have been
brought to see that he has been pun
ished enough for his crime. The
hearing on the application will be held
at Madison on Nov. oath. Peter
Fisher of this .city will represent the
prisoner as counsel.
Many people in Bristol have signed
petition asking for the release of
King and the application has also
been signed by many Of the men who
were connected with the case in court.

Council Decides to Take John D. darn
sCase to the Supreme Court.
The City Council met in special ses-
sion as a committee of the whole last
night, for the purpose of taking some
action in regard to the appeal of the
case3of John D. Harf VS.. the City of
Kenosha. 81 al..r
The City AttorneyEstated that the
city would make money by paying the
Judgment as rendered in the court, but
he held that such an action would set
bad precedent, and would open the
way for large number of little suits
for personal injury against the city.
Attorney Cavanagh also presented
similar views, and the committee de-
cided that the case should be appealed.
The carrying of the case to the SUI
preme court will cost the city about
$500. .s
