reached Hazlebrook, five miles distant,
before daylight. Here the strikers dis
tributed themselves through the town and
called at the homes of all men who had
not yet struck. There was slight furry
of apprehension in Hazlebrooka awhen the
people learned that crowd Of Freeland
strikers had arrived but as the marchers
showed no disposition to become unruly
the excitement soon subsided.
Sheriff Harvey, with small number of
deputies, arrived on the scene, but did
not interfere with the marchers. He ask
ed them good naturedly what they were
doiRg at Hazlebrook and some of them
replied they were ''only standing around"

going up hill, and when he inquired re-
garding their destination he was told
they were "only going to play game of
baseball"
But mere handful of Hazlebrook men
left their homes for the mines. After the

ARE BUYING BOOKS.
Mr. simmons Gives $4,000 to Library d.
rectors to Purchase New Books.


Mr. Simmons Gives $4,000 to Library Di
rectors to Purchase New Books.
= The board of directors of the Gilbert
M. Simmons Memorial library have
begun the monumental work of select
ing the books that are to be placed in
the library by Hon. z. G. Simmons.
The directors of the library will have
entire charge of the purchase of the
books. Mr.. Simmons has placed
twenty thousand dollars at their dis
posa1 to be used for this purpose, and
some of the books will be purchased
at once.
The first purchases will be in the
way of reference works, and the com
rnittee state that the books purchased
will compose the finest reference
library in Wisconsin. The reference
books will in themselves be large
library, and the list which is almost
complete, contains the names of over
fifteen hundred volumes. These books
have been selected according to the
list of reference books furnished by the
Wisconsin State Library commission,
and the Kenosha library is the first in
stitution of the kind in the state that
has been able to follow this list.
Of course many other works will be
purchased besides the books of refer
ence. Many historical works are now
but others will be bought in order to
keep strictly up to date in history.
Large orders will also be placed in the
near future with leading publishing
houses to secure the recent work of
fiction as they may be issued. 1t is not
probable that all the money given by
Mr.. Simmons for the purchase of books
will be expended at this time, but some
will be kept for books in the future and
in this manner will be held as an en-
dowment for the library.
The board of directors are using the
greatest care in the selection of books
to be purchased and they will undoubt
eddy be bought at the lowest figures
possible. No one publisher will be
allowed to supply the entire list, but
bids will probably be taken.
The opening Of the library has been
delayed considerably on account of the
fact that the stock room is not yet
ready for the use of the librarian.
However all the books have been called
in and the move will be made as soon
as the library is ready to be turned
over to the directors.
The stock room is now complete,
with the exception of the placing of
the electric lights.
While the librarians have been wait
ing for their new quarters the time has
not been lost, but has been spent in
getting the books in first class condi-
ton.

CENTURIES ago, when the individual
found that his business was growing
too large for him to handle, he took a
partner, They formed ia trust in a
S nall degree. Fifty. years ago the
partnership form of business began to
give way to the, small corporation, as
business men found that corporation
afforded better facilities and protection
to their business. More recently cor
porations grew in size until we have
experienced the very large corpora
tious called trusts. In nearly every
case these are neither more nor less
than partnerships, the only difference
being in extent and degree. The in
crease in the worlds volume of busi-
ness has compelled the growth from
the original partnerships TO large cor

The police are. busy looking for a
man by the name of sHanse1 who was
employed to assist IN unloading stone
for the harbor work. A few days ago
superintendent Rice, in charge of the
stone work, gave @Hahsel an order for
dollar and eighty cents, but it seems
that Hanse1 was of the 'get rich
quick sort' and before he handed the
order to Mr.. Fischer, the proprietor of
the Sch1itz hotel, he. proceeded to add
another 81" to the figures, thus max
ing it S11.80. The forgery was soon
discovered, and an effort was made to
have the offender arrested, but he had
shipped as a cook on a vessel going to
Chicago.
The Chicago police have been mott
fed of the crime, and an effort will be
made to bring the fellow back to Keno
sha for trial.
