WERE IN DIRE PERIL
Officials of the Kenosha Street Rail-
way Occupied the Car Wrecked
by an Explosion in Chicago.
ALL ESCAPED SERIOUS INJURY
Messrs. B. J. Arnold, Lorenzo E. Dow and
Ralph Mojeska Have Hot Time
Coming TO Kenosha

The troubles of the Kenosha Street
Railway Company came near having
tragic end Monday night, as all the
officers of the company were passen-
gers on the Inflated Northwestern
train which was wrecked by an eXp1o-
sion at the Northwestern station
shortly after O'Clock Monday night.
B. J. Arnold, President of the Com
pany, Lorenzo E. Dow, Ralph Mod
ieska, a son of the actress who is de-
signing the bridge for the company,
and Gustav L. C1ausen, the owner of
the franchise through the city, had all
started to Kenosha and were passen-
gers on the Inflated car wrecked by
the explosion. The men tell a graphic
story of the escape and it seems mir
acle that one, if not all of them, were
not terribly injured. The men had en-
tered the par1or car just as the train
began to pull out of the station in Chi
cago. They had been assigned to
seats in the center of the car, right in
the path of the boiler which was hurled
through the car by the force of the ex-
p1osion. Messrs. Modjeska and Ar
mold had decided to smoke and Mr..
Dow and Mr.. C1ausen accompanied
them to the smoking apartment. Just
as they entered the apartment the ex-
plosion occurred. The seats which
they had occupied a moment before
went crashing through the side of the
car and the occupants of the seats in
the vicinity were picked up terribly in
jured after the force of the explosion
was over. The Chicago men left the
car and came on to KenOsha as soon
as another car was provided. None of
them were seriously hurt, but all have
slight injuries which will recall the
terrible accident.
Mr.. Arnold tells a graphic story Of
the explosion. He said: 1T was the
strangest thing in the way of an ex-
p1osion that I have ever seen. We
were just going into the rear end of
the par1or car when I heard low rum
BILE, which was followed by three dis
tinct shocks. For a second the car
seemed to stagger on the track and a
moment later a terrible weight, like a
bullet of fire, struck the car and car
ried away the entire roof covering the
center of the car. We men in the por-
ton of the car which was away from
the explosion covered under the chairs
expecting to be sadly injured. We
even covered ourselves under the
chairs for safety. In a moment we
knew thai the danger was past, and,
looking back, we saw that the portion
of the car in which we had been sit
ting had been carried away and the
passengers who had taken our places
were among the wounded. The wild
est confusion ruled in the car and all
hurried to escape lest the car should
take fire. The train was running very
slowly at the time of the accident and
in large degree this fact prevented
many people from being injured"

SHOWS GOOD GAIN,
KenOsha County Census in 1900
Shows Population of 21,707,
Over 1851 in 1890.
KENOSHA FAR BELOW $4,000.
The Best of Figuring Will Not Bring the
city I'D to the Twelve Thousand
Mark and Surprise Is Felt.

The official report of the United
| States Census Bureau in regard to the
population of Kenosha has been given
out, and while it shows that the county
has made a healthy growth of more
than 5000 people in the last ten years,
it brings dismay to the people of the
| city who have predicted that our popu-
1ation would be above $4,000 people.
The report shows that the census of
the county for this year is 2l,707, over
Is, 581 as shown by the census of 1890.
! This is net increase of 6,126. AS
soon as the figures were received in
the CITY the people interested in prob
lens of population began to figure,
but try as they might they found it
impossible for them to figure the city
up to u, 900 people.
In 1890 the population of the city
was less than AZ per cent of the entire
population of the county, and carry
ing out this proportion for this year it
would show that the population of the
city was less than 10000 souls. The
figures would show a total population
for the city of 9,116, against a popula-
ton of Il, $50 in the county.
| These figures, however, can not be
taken as the true statement of popu1a-
| ton of city or county as it is apparent
/ that while the county has shown some
growth during the past decade the city
has far outstripped the county, and the
percentage of increase should be cor
responding1y larger. The most opti-
mistic estimate that can be made is
made on the figures given by the last
| general election. At this election the
city cast total of 2,795 votes, while
the county was far behind, with a vote
of 2,150. Using these figures as an in
dicator the city would have a popu1a-
ton of 12,267, while the county would
drop to second place, with population
of 9,437. These figures would show
an increase in the population of the
county of only 378, while the city
would be credited with the amazing
growth of OBS, or a total of nearly SO
per cent, a growth of 4 10 per cent on
the population of the county.
OF course these figures are contested
| by we11-known men, who claim that
the census of Kenosha was taken at
very poor time and that many people
in the city were left out when the lists
were made up. OF course there is no
doubt but that some of them were
missed, but the number would hardly
be large enough to bring the popu1a-
ton Of the city up to the claims of
optimistic citizens. The official count
for the city, irrespective of the county,
will be eagerly awaited.

DOORS THROWN OPEN
First Services in Connection With
the Dedication OF the Y. M. C. A..
Building Held Sunday.
C. C. MICHENER MAKES ADDRESS
Interior of the Building Proves Pleasant
Surprise to the Throngs at
the Dedication.

Kenosha's new Young Mems Chris
tan Association building was thrown
open for the use of the public for the
first time Sunday, and the opening of
the building was the occasion for the
visit of large number of prominent
Y. M. c.. A. workers from ali parts OF
the state. While the exterior of the
building had long been thing of
beauty to the people of the city, the in
terror had been carefully guarded, and
when the doors were opened on Sun
day morning there was a large crowd
present anxious to get look at the
building.
The interior of the building is all
that could be desired for Y. NJ. C. A.
building. The reception rooms on the
ground floor of the building are beau
tifu11y finished in oak. Maple wood
floors have been placed in all the lower
rooms, and the floors are covered with
beautiful rugs. In all the rooms are
frep1aces of novel designs which
tend to give the rooms a home like
appearance.
The gymnasium was not opened on
Sunday, but the blinds we're raised and
one could see that it was equipped with
all the latest gymnasium apparatus.
On the second floor are two more re-
ception rooms, both finished in oak,
with frep1aces and mante1s similar to
those in the front rooms on the ground
floor. Back of these reception rooms
is the large auditorium with seating
capacity of some three hundred people.
The remainder of the building is given
up for dormitories, and many of the
rooms, which have been nicely fur
nished, have already been rented to
the young men of the city. From the
renting of these rooms the Association
intends to receive quite revente. One
of the most magnificent things in the
building is the grand stairway, which
is built entirely of oak, and which was
designed and made by the Kenosha
Sash and Door Company. 1t is the
most artistic thing in the way of a
stairway ever placed in any building
in Kenosha.
The first day of the dedication of the
new building brought many 7. M. c..
A. workers to the city. Among the
prominent people here attending the
services are State Secretary F. E. An
derson, of Milwaukee; State President

CENTRAL SCHOOL BURGIAR1zED
Burglars Make Another visit to Building
and Garry off Considerable.

The Central school building had
another visit from burglars Sunday
evening or this morning, and as re-
suit the school is minus quite num-
Der of things which were left in the
building Saturday.
The burglars scaled the wall of the
building by means of the fire escape,
and forced an entrance by breaking
open two of the large windows on the
second floor. Once in the building
they made a thorough search of the
different rooms, and turned the desks
topsy turvy in their efforts to secure
booty.
They secured for their trouble little
change, which had beer left by one of
the teachers, a pocket microscope, and
a red leather case containing comb
and brush. The robbery was reported
to the police this morning, but there is
no clue to the guilty parties.
This is the second time the building
has been entered since school opened,
and both times entrance was gained
by way of the fire escape. 1t is the
opinion of the police that the work is
that of some degenerate pupils of the
High school, and some of the suspect
ed ones are being closely watched.

young men in commercial life. The
address of Mr.. Kitchener was a very in

a character back of him, and showed
that the purpose of the Y. M. G. A.

ROSCOE rs FREE AGAIN.
Escaped Lunatic Captured in Kenosha
Again Secures His Liberty.

Louis Rosche, the man who was
arrested in Kenosha short time ago
and turned over to the authorities of
the asylum at Wauwatosa, is again at
liberty and the Kenosha police have
been asked to keep strict watch for
him.
The attendant reached South Mil
waukee with his man on Saturday
afternoon and before he succeeded IN
landing him in the asylum Rosche
made a break for liberty and was not
recaptured. It is not thought that
Rosche will return to Kenosha. The
fellow lis very clever for half witted
man and will probably manage to keep
out of the way of the officers on his
trail.
