W. r. Dimmick, of Chicago, and r. D.
Wynn of Waukegan, who are laying
out a proposed route for the line which
will connect Waukegan and Fox Lake.
It seems that the plon now adopted is
to add Kenosha. as another terminal for
the road which leads into the rich lake
regions of Lake County, ILL.,, and Ke-
nosha County. The plan to include a
spur to this city is new one and has
been recently suggested. The men on
their return to Waukegan yesterday
made the report that the plan of build
ing the road was quite feasible. The
capital for the building of the road has
been found in Chicago but it is reported
that the men who are interested in the
financial end of the enterprise have
placed the limit at 100000. This
amount will be all too small to build the
road which has been laid out by the
promoters. If the road is built and it
seems probable, it will be of great use
in opening new territory for Kenosha
and Waukegan trade. In speaking of
the venture yesterday Mr.. Wynn said:
''What we want to know is whether
the people want this road. If the people
whose land we pass through appreciate
the benefit which the road will be to
them and are willing to give us a 40
foot right of way along section lines
the road will be built. If we are
assured right of way by February

The FESTAL BOARD.
KenOsha County Medical Association
Gather at the Grant House
for a Banquet.
NIGHT OF FEAST AND SPEAKING

Nearly Every Doctor in the City Sat
Down to the Gaily Decorated Tables and
Spent the Evening in Pleasant Man
ner.-Toasts Responded 20 by the Diff
ferent Members of the Profession. Warm
Feeling Existing Between Our Doctors.
The warm feeling existing between
the physicians of Kenosha caused
them to lay aside the cares of the hour
last evening and gather at the Grant
House for the annual banquet of the
Kenosha County Medical Association.
The event was indeed a pleasant one
and will long be remembered as one of
the gala nights in the history of the
Association.
The Association is now two years
old, and to say the least, it is very
lively infant. During the past two
years the meetings of the association
have been very interesting to the mem
bers of the association, and besides the
interest that has been taken in them
from a professional standpoint, the
association has been the means of ce-
menting the doctors together with a
bond that is stronger than any bond of
professional interest.
Early in the evening the doctors
gathered at the par1ors of the hotel
bringing with them their wives and
their sisters, while few of the young
er men, who had no wives and sisters,
brought other sisters who assisted very
materially in filling in the pleasure of
the evening.
After several hours of pleasant So
cia1 intercourse the doctors and their
guests were ushered into the large dim
ing room of the hotel, where the ban
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1900-01-18

quet was served. The hall was beau
tifu11y decorated for the occasion.
The little tables placed about the room
were decorated with smi1ax and ferns,
while in all the corners of the roc m
huge banks of palms had been placed.
Covers were laid for fifty guests and
almost every chair was filled when the
Jacoby and Compton orchestra began
the musical program which had been
arranged for the evening. The next
two hours were spent by the doctors
and their friends in partaking of the
feast which had been spread, of which
the following was the menu:
Blue Points.
Consumme Princesse.
Celery. Sailed Almonds. Radishes
Boned Turkey, Cranberry Jelly.
White Potatoes. Sweet Potatoes
Asparagus Tips, la Home.
Sweet Breads, Dreaded French Peas
Punch-Orange.
Chicken Salad.
Assorted Cake. Fancy Ice Cream
Assorted Fruits.
Edam Cheese. Crackers.
Coffee.
After the banquet had been served
the doctors pushed their chairs from
the table and the genial flow of soul
began. DR.. ]. L. C1eary acted as toast
master, and with his usual wit kept
the doctors in good spirits during the
entire evening. After a selection by
the orchestra the first toast was pro-
posed by DIR. Windesheim, who spoke
in an inter sting manner on the sub.
ject, exceptions to the Rules. OF
course the doctor made a very witty
talk and he found many exceptions tC
the rules, which were not laid down in
the books on the science of medicine.
The greatest exception to the rule
which he found was the kindly feeling
existing among the doctors of Kenosha.
He said that trusts had been formed in
almost every line, but the strongest
syndicate which he had seen was this
collection of the Kenosha doctors,
who formed an association with de-
termination to trust everyone. DIR.
Windesheim's toast was one of the
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1900-01-18

features of the evening and frequently
the doctor was interrupted by laughter
and applause.
. The second toast was proposed by
by DR.. G. H. Ripley, who spoke in an
entertaining manner on the subject,
1.-The Closing Decade of the Nineteenth
Century" The toast of DR.. Ripley
proved exceedingly interesting to the
profession. He showed the great ad-
vancement that was being made not
only in the advancement of the science
but also in the advancement of the
good feeling between the members of
the profession.
After another selection by the or
chestra DIR. Cheever arose to toast the
ladies. OF course the doctor has never
had any practical experience of the
real value of the eternal feminine in
connection with the profession but the
dreams of a confirmed bachelor proved
to be very interesting.
Following DR.. Cheever's speech DIR.
VIM, Farr spoke on the subject, "The
Pioneer Practitioner. DR.. Fairs
toast was beautiful tribute to those
men of the early times who paved the
way for the coming of the more mod
ern science into the great Northwest.
He spoke especially of the early history
Of the profession in Kenosha and
placed upon the roll of honor those
men who administered to the sick in
old Southport in the early days.
The last toast of the evening was
presented by DIR. ], Murphy, who told
of the trials and triumphs of the prac-
titioner of today. This was the first
appearance of Dr. Murphy in this city
and his response to the toast assured
the members of the profession that he
was heartily in sympathy with all the
movements for the lettering of the
profession.
IT was quite one o'clock when the
toasts were concluded and still the
doctors fingered for short time while
informal toasts were proposed. After
these speeches were made the doctors
parted for the day while the orchestra
played the old familiar air of "Au1d
Lang Syne."

The Westlake Herald says. The
CENSUS taker will began to make
his round in short time. He
will ask no end of questions and
the people are asked to receive
him civilly and to treat him as a
gentleman. He will want to know,
among others things your name,
nativity, age, your chi dren and
where they belong; the crop you
raise and how much, the acres you
cultivate and the stock you raise.
He will ask you about your re-
ligion, politics and prosperity. your
money, your misery and your mer'
chandise. He will want to know
whether you fought, blcd and died
for your country, here or in
Canada, and whether you've been
in prison or not, and If not why
not? These and IL thousand other
interesting and minute questions
you'll have to answer, and 1T IS

Miller went before the court and
asked to have him sent to the poor

has been shedding his skin once a
year, but this year it came off four
times. 1t slipped off his hand like

The cane crop is making fair
progress, although arrested in it's
growth by the cool weather OF the
last day or two. The outlook con-
tinues to be generally excellent,
and under the influence of the
warmth experienced during the

shoots made rapid upward pro-

Admiral Dewey and the Presidency,

the announcement of Admiral
Dewey's candidacy for the Presi-
dency appeared that it was one of

which has been going on of late to
make Admiral Dewey ridiculous.

throw these hopes. Admiral Dew
ey admits that he wrote the World
interview himself, in which he
avows himself the candidate of
whatever party will nominate him,
and, for the present, without any
principles or platform of his own.
1t would seem that, to any man
with mind enough to conduct a
sea battle, it would occur that
there is not now time to do what
Admiral Dewey proposes. 1t APP
pears rather late to select party
or a set of principles. Admiral
Dewey cannot IN sufficient. reason
decide whether he is a Democrat
or Republican, or whether he Is
for or against imperialism or un-
limited silver coinage. A candi-
date ought to be able to say that
he has determined convictions at
least a year before the national
nominating conventions.
Admiral Dewey's suggestion
that he,will be the candidate of a
peoples party is futile. There is
not time left to construct such a
party, which is usually formed in
ample season to sell out to one of
the other great parties. The funds
now be raised, nor the hired
men engaged, to go OH with third
party in the approaching Presiden-
5ial contest.

Dewey was talked to on the sub
