AFTER G.. K. STARK.
Swedish Lutheran Church of Evans
ton Issues Call to the Keno
sha Minister.
MAY NOT ACCEPT THE CALL.
The Church is Much Larger Than the Ke-
nosha Church and Is one of the
Best Known in the West.

Rev. G. K. Stark, pastor of the Swedl
ish Lutheran Church in this city, has
received call from the First swedish
Lutheran Church in Evanston and
while he has not as yet made any def
mite answer to.the call there is proba-
bi1ity that he will accept. The church
al Evanston isone of'tbe largest in the
West and has a large membership.
Mr.. Stark was there and looked over
the field last Sunday and is very we'll
pleased with the offer.
The Kenosha church will make a
hard fight to have Mr.. Stark remain in
this city. He has been pastor of the
Swedish Lutheran church here for the
past four years and under his direction
the work has been carried forward very
rapidly. A new church has been built
and the congregation has been built
up until it is now one of the strongest
church organizations in Kenosha.
Of course the call offers to Mr.. Stark
a broader field for labor, but he is
united to the Kenosha church by bonds
which will be hard to break and it is tc
be hoped that he will see fit to decline
the offer and remain with the church
| in this city.

Kenosha Street Railway Company
Will Complete Their Line
At Once.
TO AVOID CONTESTED GROUND
Route of Line Will be Followed on Market
Street, Newell Avenue, Elizabeth
Street and Fremont Avenue

An authoritative statement is made
today that the Kenosha Street Rail
way company will not await the decis-
ion of the courts in regard to contest
ed ground, but they will proceed at
once to complete their line, using a
route which will leave South street out
in the cold. The work of building the
road has been carried forward to the
corner Of Union street and Milwaukee
avenue, and the superintendent of
Construction stated this morning that
the line would be completed as far as
the Main street bridge before Satur-
day night.
The route will be continued on Main
street, and when Market street is
reached the line will be extended west
to Newell avenue, south on Newell
avenue to Elizabeth street, east on
Elijah beth street to Fremont avenue,
and south to the limits of the city.
This revised route would give the
company an easy route through the
city, and at the same time the line
could be laid without any objection
from the property holders. The Su-
perintendent states that the company
have sufficient material in the city to
complete this route. Of course there
is an objection to this route in the fact
that a large portion OF Main street is
left out, but the company have planned
to build loop III order to make the
needed local service. AS soon as the
courts shall have decided on the Allen
injunction suit the company will build
their lines according to the original
plans. The company are said to be
meeting with some difficulty on Prai-
RE avenue and it it stated that a resi-
dent of this street has threatened an
injunction against the company as
we'll as suit for damages.
In regard to Strengthening Main
street the company found that the plan
would be practically impossible unless
the Kenosha Gas and Electric COM
pany was willing to remove it's build
ings. In their present location it
would be impossible for the bridge to
swing if the street was straight.

Big Grand Stand at the Race Track
Is Torn Down and Sold For
Fence Lumber.
BRINGS BUT LITTLE MONEY.
Lumber is Sold at a Low Rate But Finds
Ready Buye rs Among the Farmers
who Snap up the Bargains.

Ideal park is now a thing of the
past. For some time the race track
has been used as farm property, but
today the big grand stand, which has
stood for the past five years as mon
ument to the death of pool selling in
Wisconsin, is a mass of ruins and the
large amount of lumber used in the
big building is being sold to farmers
In the neighborhood for fences.
The grand stand had been left stand
ing by the Chicago parties in hope
that some time it might be possible to
reopen the park, but the Legislature of
this state has been deaf to all the APP
pea1s of the race track men and they
decided to tear down the old buildings
and realize something on their invest
ment. The building is being sold at
tremendous loss. 1t was one of the
largest and best ever built on a track
near Chicago and it cost thousands of
dollars. 1t is now being sold for a
mere song.
During the past year the grand stand
has been a nuisance to the farmers
residing in the neighborhood. It has
been entirely vacant, and, on this &C
count it had been made the resort of
tramps and criminals and many of the
crimes that have been committed in
northern Illinois and in the western
part of the county, have been traced to.
a gang who found shelter in the build
ings on the old race track.
AS a race trace Ideal park was never
a success, and the recent disbanding
of the company which operated it
showed that the track was operated
during it's short existence at financial
loss

AN INDUsg RIAL LEAGUE.
Indoor Ball Players Seek to Form a
League for the Rest of the Season.

The Simmons Regulars, composed of
the members of the Kenosha Athletics
indoor team, met defeat at the hands
of the Balm Wagon Works team at
Park City hall Tuesday evening. The
game was the best seen here this year.
The score was z to 6. Both teams put
up SPLENDID game of ball and it was
a battle royal from start to finish. AS
the indoor season is now we'll under
way the players in the different teams
are planning to get up an industrial
league for this city. Several of the
factories in the city already have
teams playing and others are ready to
go into the movement for the forma-
ton of a league. With a league of
this kind the revival of the popular
sport would be certain. Many Chicago
teams are in the field and all of them
have been anxious to arrange games
with the Kenosha team. Mcclellan,
the crack pitcher of the Kenosha team,
is now in Racine, but it is said that he
is willing to go back into the game
under the Kenosha standard if the old
team is reorganized. In the indoor
base ball field this city has always
been leader, and it is to be hoped that
the game will get started right before
the opening of the new year.

THURSDAY, DEG. 6, 1900.
Spooner Again.

It is seldom that man in public life
has succeeded in SC identifying himself
with the business of : nation as to
make him seem Indispensable to the
degree that Senator Spooner has be-
come. 1t was so with sWebster and
Clay, and some others in a less degree,
but such cases have been rare, even
among the great number of able men
that have filed the places of honor and
responsibility in this country. Matt.
Carpenter almost achieved this dis
tinction. His abilities were acknow1-
edged all over the land. Now Senator
Spooner stands as the central figure of
the Senate. From Portland, to New
York, and from the gulf to the Cana
dian boundary, John c. Spooner, of
Wisconsin, is known as the '1itt1e
giant" of the Senate. It is not to be
wondered at, then, that the rumor of
his retirement has reached to every
quarter and aroused a universal shout
of disapprova1. The Senate itself and
the country at large feel the need of
the presence of Senator Spooner where
the great questions of the nation press
the hardest. This national sense of
Senator Spooner's worth and the ma
TONS need of his services is expressed
in the following from the New York
Evening Post:
sit would be serious misfortune to
the country if Mr.. Spooner should re-
tire. He holds a commanding posi-
forum of public opion. His influence
is of the high and"useful type which
reminds us of the elder days of the re-
public. He is still in The prime of life,
and he owes service to the country in
proportion to his ability to render it.
Nobody in public life is SO capable of
attacking the Philippine problem and
solving it in accordance with the prin-
cip1es of justice as Senator Spooner.
He has the confidence of the Repub-
1ican party as a man of practical sa-
gacity. and of the Anti-Imperia1ists as
d man of humane feeling and honest
purpose. Fortunately, he will be in
the Senate two years longer in any
event, within which time is to be
hoped that the Philippine question
will be settled, and settled rightly.
Whether it be so or not, the country
needs Mr.. Spooner's continued service
in the place which he fills with such
conspicuous fidelity to public inter
ests.''

BADLY INJURED.
William Dick, Employed at the Simmons
Factory, Met With an Accident.

William Dick, an emp1oye of the
Simmons factory, met with serious
accident this morning, which will lay
him up for some time. Dick was
working in one of the departments
when one of his fel1owmen swung
heavy hammer. The hammer broke
from the handle and the large piece of
iron struck Dick in the groin. He was
picked up in a dazed condition and
taken to the office of DR.. Pugh. Later
he was removed to his home on Strong
street.
The doctor states that Dick was seri-
ously injured, but it is impossible to
tell the extent of them at the present
time.

THE e'short cut'' is one of the beset
ting sins of the American. Wherever
the average American citizen, be he
laborer, business man or man of
leisure, finds it possible to cut down
distance, even when out for a walk, he
does it. Every corner that comes IN
his way without a fence or some other
obstruction is a right of way to him.
Private property is treated like pub
lie highway, and if the property
owner is sufficiently long suffer
ing, soon come to look like
one. By taking down a fence
the property owner sacrifices much of
his personal convenience and benefit
to enhance the pleasure of the public,
and at the same time manifests a will
ingness to give to the public the
benefit of the Improvement in the ap-
pearance of a street on the suppose
ton that the public will return the
favor, with considerate regard for
private property. This is not often
done, however, and too often lawns
and curbs that have been carefully
gardened to add to the beauty of a
public thoroughfare, are ruthless1y
trodden upon and ruined. People
should remember that the rightssof
private property are augmented when
that property is, by the grace of the
owner, partially thrown open for pub
lie use.

GET BIG REBATE.
D putty Coll or of Customs Says That
Legacy Tax will Be Refunded.

LegaeY Tax Will Be REFUNDED.
Assistant Collector of United States
Revenue Charles E. Merrill, of Wau-
kesha, was in the city today on official
business and his visit resulted in an
announcement that WILDE of consider
able interest to Kenosha people.
Mr.. Merrill came here to collect the
tiths due the government from the
new billiard hall recently opened in
this city and incidently he told the
attorneys connected with several large
estates here that portion of the legacy
tax paid to the United States govern
ment would be refunded. The amount
of rebate due to Kenosha estates will
amount to nearly $4,000. This rebate
is granted on account of the fact that
all requests under $4,000 are held to be
exempt from taxation.
There are many estates in Kenosha
for whom rebate is awaiting a claim,
but only three of the estates amount
to large amounts. The estate of the
late Edward Balm leads the list and
the heirs of Mr.. Balm will receive re-
OdlC AAOIu lnC 20" CI u4uCAl dA1OuutAHS
to $500. To the heirs of William
Lynch will come the sum of over $500,
while the estate of William V. Bose
will receive a rebate of$134. These re-
bates have already been ordered and
payment will be made as soon as the
heirs of the estates apply for it. Of
course there are rebates due to several
smaller estates in this county, but
these three estates will receive the
bulk of the related tax.

Why not? thought you told me

Well. they were.'' admitted the man

why don't you go and ask about
