A Pleasant Party.

A very enjoyable surprise party was
given Friday evening at the home of
Joseph Harry, on Eagle street. Mr..
Harry has a large number of friends
at Berryvi11e, and as the sleighing was
good two large bob-s1ed loads gathered
in the little village and proceeded to
the city. AS soon as they arrived in
the city they made their presence
known by driving through the city
blowing horns and singing songs.
They drove to the residence Of Mr..
Harry, and he was at once made a
member of the party. After another
drive about the town the guests were
entertained in royal manner. Games
and music made the hours pass all too
rapidly. At midnight delightful re-
freshments were served, and early
morning found the guests on their
way back to Berryvi11e.

GIVE A LOCAL LINE.
Waukegan Promoters Say That a Local
Line Will be Built at KenOsha if
the People Want 1t.
KENosHA TO COME HALF WAY

R. D. Wynn in Speaking of tho Proposed
Franchise Ordinance says That the
Company 1s DESTROYS of Getting Into
Kenosha and Will do the Square Thing
BY the City-Road TO be Built From this
City to Fox Lake.
The announcement that the company
of Waukegan capitalists would tempt
the fatas to secure a franchise for an
electric railway through this city has
stirred Waukegan to the depths and
from the statements made in the papers
from that point, one could think, well,
that the cars were already running
over the line on scheduled time.
Thursday Waukegan reporter in
terviewed r. D. Wynn in regard to the
new road and that gentleman said that
while nothing definite had yet been
accomplished it was true that the party
mentioned above was in KenOSha look
ing into the matter, but whether the
application for a franchise would be
made next Monday or at later date
he did not know. He said that the
citizens of Kenosha seemed willing to
meet the company half way and that
was all the company desired.
The company wishes to put in road
of the finest material from the road
bed to the cars and stand ready to
guarantee a speed of twenty-five miles
per hour.
eve have the money to put III a
good road, but not one cent for DOODLE
said Mr.. Wynn. eve give fair treat
ment and we want fair treatment; that
is all, and we guarantee that this road
has nothing to do with the line from
the north that has been attempting to
secure a franchise through Kenosha.
"The Kenosha people are also very
anxious to have us build our Fox Lake
line from Kenosha instead of Wauke-
gan, and it is very probable that flat
| tering inducements would be made us
to change the route. Of course am
fighting for Waukegan and will con-
tinue to do so, but the matter is not de-
cided. Ali we want is fair treatment
from Waukegan.
''We would like to come in on Madi-
son street and offer to build bridge
for cars, vehicles and foot passengers
over the ravine on that street and
maintain the bridge.
''In regard to this Kenosha matter
can only say that we are simply wait
ing to see what Kenosha wants. She
can have a local line there if she de-
sires it,.

Inviting Ill

By curious fact, those who invite
i'll will seem often to get it. Society,
based on a reciprocity of faith, seems to
have no smiles to bestow upon the
misanthrope. 1t bids hitn, "Laugh,
and the world laughs with YOU" ltso
comes to pass that many of them &C
quire some real ground for their 'sense
of injury" and in the long run that
real quarre1s are precipitated from this
atmosphere of suspiciousness. Indeed
this is the psychology of most quaraels.
The effect of imaginary grievances
comes in turn to be the cause of real
ones. Thus into an incident between
two persons, one of them mistakenly
reads an affront to himself. He re-
fa1iates, and the other person, uncon-
scious of having done anything to
evoke any hostility, finds himself af-
fronted, aud in his turn retaliates. By
this time real grievances have come,
and the quarrel is on. Ba1zaC, that
master analyst, in abiding to friend
ship, in one of his stories, says: cit
died'' (the friendship ''1ike other great
passions-by a misunderstanding.
Both sides imagine treachery, pride
prevents an understanding, and the
rupture comes" Just as the ma1evo-
lent feelings may arise de no00, so it is
with the benevolent ones. Nordau
shows how the nondescript state of
being Sin love" often arises. Some
incident between John and Mary leads
one of them-we will say John-to
think mistakenly that Mary has been
attracted to him. Pleased with the
fact, he reciprocates. Mary, alto
gether unconscious of the reciprocal
nature of Johns attention, finds pleas
ure in it, and in her turn reciprocates.
Mutual reciprocity then follows.
In irritable persons we find the NOR
bid sense of injury coupled with re-
sentiment Quickly interpreting any
thing disagreeab1e to them as an af-
front by another, their first impulse is
to resent it, which they DO more or less
violently, according to circumstances,
their second thought often recognizing
the irrational nature of the outbreak

HE WAS DEwEY's COUSIN.
Kinsman of the Great Admiral Comes to
Jail to Secure Nights Lodging.

Now that Admiral Dewey is the fore
most man in the hearts of the Ameri-
can people, all the Deweys in the coun-
try are tracing their relationship to
him, and cousins, unc1es and aunts are
to be found in all ranks, but it took the
Sheriff of Kenosha county to discover
one of the relatives who has not here
tofore been brought to the notice Of
world at large. He stro11ed into the
county jail shortly after O'Clock last
evening. His hair was unkempt, and
from his general appearance he looked
very much as if he was one of the
members of the genus hobo. He was
not up in naval affairs and his manners
were not of the worst. An odor of the
road fingered about his garments. He
sauntered up to the desk in the office
and laid aside bundle containg all his
earthly possessions and made a de-
mand for nights lodging in the
tramp room. When asked his name'he
replied that it was Harry Dewey. He
admitted that he was cousin of the
Admiral. He said that he was born in
Maine and that his grandfather and
the father of the Admiral were broth
ers. The Sheriff didn't seem to grasp
the full honor that was being con-
ferred upon the jail and sent the fellow
with the rest of the tramps to sleep on
the hard floor in their special apart
ment. The fellow stated that he had
been wanderer for several years and
that he was going to the woods of
Michigan to get new start in life.

Prosperity for the Masses.

Soon the time will be here for voters
t. consider the political situation and
decide the weighty questions of
Presidential year. Is the prosperity
tnas was promised, and which has
c@eae, for the few or the many? Posi-
tive tests will properly be asked.
Vague assertions are not convincing.
The New York Journal of Commerce
gives some figures or the savings
banks of that state which are right to
the point. In 1891 deposits increased
SIS. FITS, 448 and the ave age deposit was
$3.50. In the first year OF the ensuing
Democratic administration deposits
fell of ST., 895, 824 and the decline CON
tiuued With Republican success con-
fde44ce returned. In 1897 the increase
Ia New York savings bank deposits
was $48, sos, O28; in 1893 the increase
was S49, 49, 51, and last year the in
crease went up with a bound to ST.
500, 283. The increase III this single
state since Republicans took control of
the government is S169, 303,762 Two
million depositors have open accounts
in the New York savings banks, or
more than the whole number of fami-
lies ia the state. The average deposit
is S448, against $3.50 in 1898.
More than 100000 thrifty citizens
of tne State of New York had to their
credit in the savings banks on the first
day of the present year'$887, 48O $50, or
$f69. 0OO, 900 more than when Mckinley
ASSUMED the duties of President. By
these figures may be truly judged the
has returned to the people. Many
honest persons believed four years age
that good times could only come
through flood of silver and that, ir
any case, the gold standard would not
benefit the wage-earner. To the ex
tent that they are fair-minded they
will admit that they were completely
mistaken. New York's savings banl
figures are not exceptional. They arr
matched in other states where the sys
tem is established. Some of the South
ern papers scott at the idea that Re
publican success in 1896 has had any
thing to do with &C cotton. But to the
Republicans must be credited the fac
that the &C is payable in gold and tina
general business conditions are il
every way improved and hopeful. The
Democratic party declared that cotton
could never advance until the minis
were opened to unlimited silver. It il
useless to quarrel with accomplished
facts.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

John woollacott Bankrupt.

A report is received from Chicago
announcing that John S. Wollacott,
who was formerly heavily interested in
real estate in Kenosha, has filed a pc
tition in bankruptcy. The liabilities
are placed at 100000, while his assets
are not to be mentioned. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Wo11acott at one
time owned about twenty acres of land
in the west part of the city, which was
afterward plated and sold as the VOL
lacott subdivision. At the present it
is not thought that the Chicago man
has any holdings in this city.

TRUSTS AND MONOPOLIEs.
Economic Lca4u Holds Very In crest
ing Meeting Thursday Evening.

The Economic League held the most
interesting meeting of its history
Thursday evening at Central Music
hall. The question for discussion was
TRUSTS and Monopo1ies."
The meeting was the one event of
the evening, and was largely attended.
John c. Slater presided. Attorney
James Cavanagh gave a very inter
esting address on the subject of the
evening, presenting the favorable side
OF the trust in clear and forcible
manner. He showed that the trust
has it's place in the institutions of the
country, and that it was daily proving
more beneficial to mankind.
The opposing side of the question
was discussed by Attorney L. G.
Bohmrich in an able manner. The
speaker took up the principle on which
the trust operated and found in it a
certain death for competition. Fol
lowing the leaders a general discus
sion was INDUCED in, in which nearly
all the members of the League took
part.
The discussion continued until after
eleven O'Clock, and the real interest
taken showed that the members of the
League had all given the subject a
careful study.

party was given last evening at the

PROVE ALL THINGS.
This Old, Old Command is Easy to Fulfill
IN Kenosha.

To win a wager an English Marquis
stood on London Bridge and offered,
for an hour, British sovereign ($5) for
five shi11ings ($1.25). He could not
find a customer. There are several
good reasons why the ordinary mortal
could not be induced to buy, but no
reason can be given why Kenosha peo-
pie will not accept the following con-
vincing proof about Doan's Kidney
Pills. Read this:
Mr.. George Landon, of 1905 Douglas
Avenue, Racine, harness maker, en-
p1oyed at Lobde11's shop on Fourth
street, says: "My kidneys had been
out of order for a long time, causing
my back to ache and making it hard
for me to stand or sit in one position
very long at time or to stoop. The
kidney secretions were irregular, dis
co1ored and contained sediment. A
day or two after beginning the treat
ment began to improve and from
that time on | steadily grew better.
On completing the treatment my back
felt stronger than it had for months,
and the kidney secretions were clear
and more natural in their action"
Just such emphatic endorsement can
be had right here in Kenosha. Drop
into Starkweather & Co.'s drug store
and ask what their customers report.

The trouble occurred at Skotski's

Electric From Racine TO Kenosha.
There are three men in Kenosha to-
day who had an experience Wednesday
evening that they would not repeat
again for several dollars. The three
men had been in Milwaukee and had
returned as far as Racine on the NJ,
r. 6, K. At 9 o'clock they left the
Racine station on car bound for this
city and for the next three hours they
had more excitement than comes to the
lot of an ordinary man in as many
years. It was the first car which had
tempted fate and the storm bound
tracks between Racine and Kenosha.
AS soon as the car left the city limits
of Racine the trouble began. The car
was stopped time and time again in or
der to allow the conductor and motor
man to shovel away the snow which
had gathered on the track in front of
the cars. At last the passengers lost
patience, and finally in their hurry to
reach Kenosha they took their places
with the trainmen and assisted in
cleaning the snow from the tracks.
When the car finally reached this city
the men state that they were wet to
the knees on account of working in
the deep snow.

MORE sIEG RUMCRs.
Reported That Fred Morgan Will Operate
the Plant as an Iron Bed Factory.


If run1ors would start the wheels of
industry moving the Sieg plant should
be running overtime for several years
to come, but it is true that another
plan has been announced for the future
operation of the idle plant. From
what seems to be reasonably good au-
thority it is stated that the plant will
be transferred to the trust, but the
building will at once be transferred
back to Fred Morgan, of Chicago, the
present owner. The report is that Mr..
Morgan will utilize the plant as an
iron bed works. However, the entire
plant kwi11' not be Igiven over to this
business, but part of it will be used
in thes manufacture of steel ceilings.
The sale OF these ceilings in the last
ftw years has greatly increased and
there is "a great kdemand for them IN
the Northwest. To supply this de-
nand Mr.. Morgan is planning to build
up profitable industry in Kenosha. OF
the iron bed business which Mr.. Morgan
will also handle in connection with the
plant, but it will not conflict with any
of the industries, as the bed will be on
the novelty order. This report is given
out on the statement of one of the men
who will assist Mr.. Morgan in opening
the plant and it seems that it is at
least partially true.
