A HAPPY REUNION.
Miss clara Anklan, Formerly of Kenosha
Springs a Surprise on Her Friends.

There was a strange little reunion at
the Rhode opera house last Tuesday
evening when a number of the friends
of Miss Clara Ank1an, formerly of this
city, gathered at the theatre to greet
her. Miss Ank1an lived in Kenosha
about six years ago and when she left
the city sher friends lost ali trace of
her. Later it was reported that she
was dead and nothing was heard of
her until a short time ago when one of
her former friends received a letter
from her stating that she had gone on
the stage and was playing one of the
leading roles with the Frohman COM
pany, presenting Because She Loved
Him So" When the company came to
this city the young friends of Miss
Ank1an gathered in force at the theatre
and gave her a rousing reception.
Miss Ank1an's rise in the profession
has been of the phenomenal nature.
When she left Kenosha she was noted
for her ability to speak pretty little
pieces, but none of her friends had
supposed that she would ever appear
before the foot1ights. After leaving
Kenosha she went to New York, where
she entered dramatic school, and
since that time her rise in the profess
sion has been very rapid. Since she
has managed to break into the ranks
of the Frohman forces her frieuds in
this city may expect to hear great
deal of her in +1e Future

WILL HAVE A TRACK TEAM.
Kenosha High School to be Represented at
State Inter-scholastic at Madison.

The Kenosha HighSchool is making
rapid strides in all lines. A short
time ago. it was announced that the
school had been affiliated with the
dec1amatory league among the state
schools and now it is announced that
Kenosha will send a track team to
Madison to compete in the inter-schol-
astic games which will be held the
latter part of May under the direction
of the Madison High School. The
training of the team has been left in
the hands of Prof. Dickie, who is well
up in things athletic. The boys in the
school are exceedingly pleased with
the prospect and Kenosha may be ex-
pected to take some of the prizes
offered.
AS soon as the weather permits
track will be secured near the city for
the use of the students and team will
be selected by means of local field
day.

500 Reward, 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Ha11's Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have SO much faith in it's
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testi-

A NARROW ESCAPE.

A. r. Ward is Thrown From Northwest
ern Train and susta1ns Serious Injuries.
A. r. Ward formerly of this city but
now of Milwaukee had a narrow es-
cape from being instantly killed while
attempting to get on train at the
Northwestern depot Wednesday even
ing. Ward was going to Milwaukee
and had intended to catch the 6:18 train.
He arrived at the depot few seconds
before the train pulled out and rushed
out on the platform. When he attempt
ed to get on the train he discovered
that the doors facing the station were
closed. He ran from one end of the
train to the other, but of course, as the
passengers were supposed to board the
train from the west side, all the doors
were closed. Finally, as the train be-
gan to pull out Ward attempted to get
on the rear end. He caught hold of the
lifts to the platform and was C1inging
to them when the brakeman, intending
to assist him into the coach opened the
door. The opening door caught the
wou1d-be passenger full in the face
and threw him to the. platform. Ward
was thrown violently on his side, his
head and arm falling under the car
and just missing the wheels. The
wheel struck one of his fingers infict-
ing painful wound. In the fall his
back and side were wrenched in a very
painful manner. The passengers on
the train who saw the accident thought
the man had certainly been killed but
after the train had been stopped he
was picked up and taken on to Mil
Waukee.

The Chinese themselves were greatly
astonishcd at receiving the imperial In

In persuading the court under ten days.
The emperor's instructions are to
agree fully to the note but to endeavor
to get the best terms possible, particu-
larly in the matter Of limiting the num-
ber of the legation guards and also as
to the places where these are to be
located.
The plenipotentlarles are Instructed to

Us possible and finally to request the
powers not to destroy the forts, but
merely to disarm them.
