Recent Fires.

The large store building at Per
ryman, Hartford county, occupied
by j. 81. Emmord as general
store, was destroyed by fire at an
early hour on Tuesday morning.
The barn on the farm of William
A. Morrison, near Newark, was
destroyed by fire on Thursday
night of last week, together with
all of this years crops which were
stored therein. The loss is, esti-
mated at $4,000, partially covered
by insurance.
Early Monday morning fire was
discovered at the Webster Club
house, two miles south of Elkton,
along the Elk river, and before
assistance could arrive the build
ing was consumed. The property
belonged 20 a number of Philadel-
phians who spend their leisure
time at the club.
Attempts were made twice last
week by unknown parties to burn
five large stacks of wheat on the
farm of Harry G. Crow, near Mount
Pleasant, Del. The fire was dis
covered in time to prevent their
destruction on the first attempt,
but on Friday night they were en-
tirely destroyed. The loss is esti-
mated to be about / 200 bushels of
wheat.
The residence of Abram Evans,
Havre de Grace, was destroyed by
fire Wednesday morning together
with nearly all his household effects.
The fire was caused by an accident
with an oil stove. The small child
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Donald Smith
which was in the room where the
blaze started had a narrow escape
but was rescued without injury.
The loss is about $1,000, with
81, 700 insurance.

Our war tax in 1896 was 81

Our war tax in 1896 was 81

1899 the tax per head was $3. 40.
Do you want a standing army OF
100, 900 to keep our conquered col

you win have if Mckinley and his
policy is upheld.
Mckinley says war to the knife,
till every Filipino is killed or sub
jugated Bryan says peace and
independence for the Philippines
and reduction of our army to its
old footing OF 81, 900 or 10000.
The glory of our free institutions
was conquering the world more
rapidly than fleets and armies be-
fore the Mckinley war policy was
introduced.

The speech of Mr.. Wm. ]. Ogden before
the Bryan club of the Sixth district on
the subject of trusts, was one of the best
that has been delivered since the opening
of the campaign.
Mr.. Ogden showed up the rascality,
confidence game practiced by PRO
moters" who are the bunco steerers for
these watered stock concerns, in most
able and convincing manner. Those who
heard him have clearer conception of
trusts and their rascally methods.

FOR CLEAN STREETS.
Prairie Avenue Citizens Would Have
The0Streets Cleaned by Private
Enterprise.
MAYOR APPROVES THE PLAN
Plan is to Levy an Assessment of 10 Cents
Foot on Property TO Have the Streets
Cleaned Perfectly Twice Week.

The EVENING News has long been
advocating cleaner streets for Keno
sha, and we are glad to announce that
the property owners on Prairie avenue
have started a movement which, if
carried out, will tend to keep Prairie
avenue clean all the time.
The plan is to have the work of
sweeping the street done by private
property owners, instead Of by the
city. The financial condition of the
city at the present time has made it
impossible for the street commission
ers to give the time and money that is
needed for keeping the streets clean.
For weeks the streets have gone UNI
swept, and the result is that they are
getting into a terrible condition, and
unfit for the use of the travelling pub
lie. It is almost impossible for lady
to cross the streets without having her
gown ruined by the filth which has
gathered on the crossings.
To do away with this condition of
affairs, a petition is being circulated
among the property owners on Prairie
avenue asking the City Council to
have the street cleaned twice each
week, and that the cost of the work be
charged up against the property
ownes as a special assessment. The
plan has met with favor among all the
people to whom it has been proposed.
It has the expressed approval of the
Mayor, and all the larger property
holders on the street.
AS to the cost of the new arrange
meut the people interested have
figured up that it can be done for the
rest of the year by 1evying an assess
ment of ten cents 1inea1 foot on all
the property.
This plan could also be adopted on
the other streets with profit to the
general appearance of the city. The
property owners on Main street, while
they pay heavy taxes, could well afford
to have the streets cleaned by private
enterprise. The cost could be more
than compensated for in the increase
of business brought by the clean con-
dition of the streets.
This is matter in which every
citizen is interested. Kenosha has
beautiful streets and if the city is not
able to keep them in condition some
plan should be adopted to make it pos
sib1e for those who are willing to have
the work done. Sprink1ing has long
been done at the expense of property
owners and if they are DESTROYS that
the sweeping should be done in the
same manner it certainly opens a
splendid opportunity for the city to Sc
cure clean streets without expense.

LOOKS LIKE PROFESSIONALS.
Gang OfProfessional Burglars are Thought
to be Operating in Kenosha

The police have not as yet found
any clue to the people who broke into
the store of William Fisher on We'd
nesday night, and they have about
come to the conclusion that the gang
of silk dealers who have been working
on the East shore of the lake have
changed their base of operations to
Kenosha. At St. Joseph number of
robberies were committed, and they
were very similar to the one commit
ted IN Kenosha.
However, the Kenosha officers are
still keeping their eyes open for clues,
and they expect to find something
within few days.
There is one thing certain, and that
is that the robbers who have been
committing crimes about the city are
entirely acquainted with the ways of
the professionals, and have no trouble
in getting rid of the booty they secure
in their raids. Some time ago a store
was entered, and a large amount of
stuff taken, but not single bit of it
has ever turned up.
This led the officers to believe that
the work is being done by professional
crooks, who come to Kenosha from
other cities.
Eobberies have been reported in
other Wisconsin cities. but the police
have had the same difficulty in locating
the guilty parties. From all these
facts it seems certain that a gang of
professional burglars is working the
lake shore towns and they are working
them to perfection. It is to be hoped
that that the local police will be able
to take the initiative in the capture of
some or all of this gang and put an end
to their Expectations.

FOR A STREET FAIR.
Merchants Want to Have FAN Celebra-
tion TO wake the Town UP.

Merchants along the street are dis
cussing the advisabi1ity of starting a
movement to have a street fair held in
Kenosha during the coming fall.
Racine has already arranged for the
holding of Carnival of fun to mark
the coming of the autumn months, and
the merchants of Kenosha are in
favor of having the celebration ex-
tend to this city. There would be
little expense in connection with the
holding of the fair, and great crowds
of people would be drawn to the city.
The plan, as outlined by one of the
merchants this morning, is to have
the city in gala attire and to invite to
the town all sorts of street shows in
order to make the holiday pleasant
one.
Letters have been received from
some of the men who had shows on the
midway at the Worlds fair stating
that they will show in Racine, and
that they would be glad to come to
this city on the following days, if the
fair can be worked up. 1t is a SPLEEN
did plan. 1t would be carnival of
fun.
Business would be suspended and the
city would entertain the county and
surrounding territory in a gorgeous
manner, 1t is to be hoped that some
of the merchants will take the matter
in hand and see that the street fair is
properly worked up.

CAUGHT A RUNAWAY BOY.
John Hoehn, Alleged to be Wanted in chi
cago, Arrested in Kenosha.


cago, Arrested in Kenosha
Officer Sullivan arrested a boy Fri
day evening who gave his name as
John Hoehn, and who, it is claimed,
had run away from his home in Chi
cago several months ago. The boy
has been in Kenosha for about two
weeks and has been making his home
with his grandparents. He will be
sent back to Chicago as soon as the
father of the youth has been notified.
Young Hoehn is as yet but 10 years of
age, but if the stories written to the
police by the father of the boy are cor
rect he has made a good start on the
downward path. He disappeared from
his home in Chicago many months
ago and all efforts to find him have
been without avail.
Young Hoehn tells an entirely differ
ent story from the police. He says
that he came to Kenosha from Michi-
gan last February and that he ha
been in the city ever since.

Mrs. C11as. Clark, of $50 Bond ST.,
says: 81 was troubled with a lame
back for long time and it was much
worse whenever I took cold. Procur-
ing Doan's Kidney Pills at Stark
weather & Co.'s drug store, I com
menced taking them. They relieved
me almost at once and have not been
troubled with my kidneys since. My
husband suffered with lame and sore
back so that he could not work, in fact,
could hardly get around the house.
His kidneys showed symptoms of be-
ing in a very bad way. In three days
after he began taking Doan's Kidney
Pills he was able TO return to his work
and since the treatment he has been
feeling well.
