AFTER FIFTY YEARS
Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen Morley Cele-
brate Their Golden Wedding Sun
day at Home OF Phillip Wade.
A PLEASANT FAMILY REUNION

Mr.. and Mrs Morley Were Among the First
Settlers in Kenosha County, Having
Come Here in 1853 The Anniversary
Proved Double One as It Was also MI.
Morfey's Eightietn Birthdav-A Very
Pleasant Time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen Morley, well
known early settlers of this county,
celebrated the golden anniversary of
their marriage Sunday at the home of
their son-in-1aw, Phillip Wade, in the
north part of the city. The celebration
was doub1y interesting for it was not
only the fftieth anniversary of the
marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Morley, but
it was also the eightieth anniversary
of the birth of Mr.. Morley.
The occasion of the celebration of so
memorable an event was made note
worthy, and all day long the aged
couple were surrounded by their re1a-
tives and friends. Dinner was served
at noon in the way of family reunion.
Many of the early settlers of the county
were present to extend their congratu-
married bliss for half century and to
partake in the jovia1 p 1easures ar
ranged in celebration of the event.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morley are among the
most well known of the early pioneers
of the county. They were among the
crowd of hardy New Eng1anders who
came to the West to open up the forests
and make way for the westward journey
| of civilization.
They were married in New York, on
| the 4th of March, 1850. They resided
in the eastern metropolis, but in 1853
they joined a colony of people to come
to the untrodden wilds of Wisconsin.
Arriving at Southport in 1883 they
went out on the prairie and made their
home on a farm at place then called
| Walkers Prairie. Here they resided
for many years but later sold out their
interests and removed to Chippewa
Falls, where they resided for several
years. Fifteen years ago they removed
to Dakota and remained there until a
short time ago when they returned
to Kenosha to make their home with
lI1C11 OdL O41 Hill w odCs
In their long life among the residents
of the county Mr.. and Mrs. Morley
have made host of warm personal
friends who will all be pleased to ex-
tend the warmest congratulations to
them on this notable event.
While Mr.. Morley has passed the
four-score mark in his voyage through
life, his wife is only a few years his
junior. Both are enjoying excellent
health and look back on their happy
married life with no regrets.
In honor of their anniversary Mr..
and Mrs. Morley were the recipients
of number of beautiful gifts.
This paper extends congratulations
and best wishes that the two early
settlers will survive to celebrate many
other happy anniversaries of their
marriage.

There is no Light.

The Pintsch light structure on Ra-
cine reef is covered with a mass of ice,
and from the shore resembles a pom
derous iceberg. For the past few
nights it has been noticed that the
light was not burning, although it is
supposed to burn FIVE months without
going out. Owing to theice and storms
it has been impossible to make an in
vestigation and ascertain the trouble.
It may be that the ice has damaged
the crib or gas tanks and extinguished
the light, and it may be that the light
itself is covered with thin coat of ice
and is obscured.
AS soon as possible the Racine light
house keeper will go out, make an in
vestigation, and report to the govern
ment engineers. AS this is the first
season the light has been established,
and it was guaranteed to burn for five
months without going out, there is
curiosity in marine circles
as to the cause.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.
A Preventive of oat Smut and Potato
Scab

The loss to the farmers of Wisconsin
due to smut in oats amounts to hum
dreds of thousands of dollars annua11ys
practically all of this loss may be
saved by treating the seed oats before
planting, at very slight cost. All
that is necessary is to thoroughly sat
urate the seed oats with a solution
made by adding one pound of forma1in
to fifty gallons of water. To use this
remedy, place a layer of oats three Or
four inches thick on the barn floor and
sprinkle them with the formalin so1u-
ton until they are entirely wet; then
another layer may be placed on the
first layer and sprink1ed as before, re-
peating the process until ali the seed
oats have been sprink1ed; then leave
them in the pile for two hours, when
they should be spread out thinly to dry
They should be shove1ed over once or
twice a day until dry. If they are to be
sown broadcast, it will not be neces-
sary to dry them.
Formalin may be purchased at any
drug store and costs from 90 to rs
| cents per pound. About one gallon of
the solution is enough to sprinkle a
bushel of oats, hence one pound of for
rnalin is enough to treat fifty bushels
! of seed oats. Forma1in is rot danger
Gus to use. The oats will not be likely
to be injured by it, even if left in the
pile somewhat longer than two hours.
For Potato Scab.
The value of forma1in as prevent
i've of potato scab has been demon
strated by several Experiment Sta
tons. The treatment is easily APP
piled, and gives in most cases a crop
much freer from scab than untreated
seed, and in soil free from scab germs,
the prevention is generally complete.
Immerse the unsprouted seed pota-
toes, before cutting, for two hours in a
solution of one-haif pound of forma1in
in fifteen gallons Of water. If the
tubers are deeply scabbed, extend the
time to three or four hours. After
treatment cut the tubers in the usual
manner. The same solution may he
used five or six times in succession if
the immersion is continued little
| longer each time.
Do not use the potato solution for
oat smut, as it is too strong, nor the
oat solution for potatoes, as it is too,
weak.

Gil1ett School Formally opened for the
Children of the North Side this Morning

The Gi11ett school was formally
opened this morning and about hum
bred of the children of the North Side
have been comfortably housed in the
new building. Three rooms have been
opened and the other room will be held
in reserve.
The opening sof the new building
has caused a great deal of rejoicing
among the school patrons. The pupils
will no longer have to attend school in
the engine house, and the little build
ing on Bronson street, which has been
used for the past year, has been closed
permanently.
The teachers at the new school are
Misses Julia Portwine and Ella Toner,
who have charge of the primary de-
partment, while Miss Adamson will
have charge of room of third and
fourth grade children.
The building will be dedicated next
Friday afternoon at which time it will
be open for the inspection of the gen.
era1 public.

mysterious Disappearance.

Jacob Windish, well known resi-
dent of Racine, As years of age, has
been missing since Friday evening,
and his friends fear that he fell in the
river and was drowned while crossing
the ice near the ST. Paul bridge, as he
was in the custom of doing. He had
been watching at his fathers bedside
the past week, at the home of his
brother-in-1aw, Mat Seifen, but failed
to put in his appearance Friday even
ing.
Windish was well known in this city
and his friends will aid in the search
for him.

TOOK THE MUGS TOO.
Chief o Hare is on the Trail of Members of
the Lincoln Base Bail Team

Chief of Police O'Hare has gone on
a merry hunt for the members of the
Lincoln base ball team, of Chicago,
who played in this city last Saturday
evening. The trouble is that when
the Linco1ns left Kenosha they took
with them three "Tom and jerry
mugs belonging to Capt. Lew Mont.
After the game Saturday evening
the Lincoln players had a jolly time
and proceeded to put a little saffron
hue on the city. Well, they ended up
at the Captains and after having
devoured few "Tom and Jerries''
they managed to escape to the street
with the mugs. The mugs were good
ones and were valued at 1915.
The police department has written
to the manager of the team and de-
manded that he make good the loss or
send back the mugs. If this mild re-
quest is refused it is probable that the
boys will be brought back to Kenosha
to answer charge of petit larceny.

A. SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT.
Prof. Pearson Entertains Large Crowd
With Readings from J. Whitcomb Riley.

Prof. Pearson, of Evanston, enter
tanned a good crowd last evening with
an entertainment in which a number
of selections from James Whitcomb
Riley were rendered. The entertain
rnent was held at the auditorium of the
high school, and the only regret of the
managers was that the large hall was
not filed to overlooking.
Prof. Pearson is a natural e1ocution-
ist 3t1d his rendition of the poems of
the poet laureate of Indiana won him
generous applause. During the even
ing Mr.. Pearson told the strange story
of the life of the gifted poet and illus
trated the various periods in the nara
tive with timely selections from the
works of the poet. There is a heart
interest in the poems of Riley, and
delivered, as they were, in a mastery
manner, they took a new interest and
firm hold in the hearts of the people.
Riley tells the story of the life of the
for gotten, classes and the story always
touches the heart of the hearer.
Should Prof. Pearson ever return to
Kenosha, for another entertainment,
a packed house is promised him.
