Merchants of the City to Form As
ISOLATION to Revise the Laws of
Credit in Retail Trade.
SETTLEMENTS TOO FAR APART
Many of the Merchants of the City De-
mand That Bills be Paid Monthly and
Ninety Days is Named as the Limit.

A very significant move has been
started among the merchants of the
city which promises to revo1utionize
| the credit business in Kenosha and to
bring business as near as possible to
the cash basis. For many years Ke-
nosha merchants have been doing
business without system in regard to
their credit business. In some cases
bills are sent monthly, others wait
three months, while in many cases
bills are only sent occasionally, and
sometimes it is full year between
settlements.
To correct this defect in the bust
ness systems of the city several Of the
retail dealers have gotten their heads
together and propose to form an asso-
citation of the retail dealers in the city
to fix a time for the payment of bills.
Various dealers make exchanges of
courtesy and it is these men that are
anxious to secure settlements at stated
periods. It has been proposed that
general time for settlements be set.
That settlements shall be made every
thirty DAYS. This the merchants
claim is a little too often and some of
them would increase the time to ninety
days.
The plan, as proposed, will appeal to
every merchant and business man in
the city. With an association of mer-
chants with thirty day limit on cred
it, business in Kenosha would be con-
Quoted on an earning basis. Of course
the plan must be general or it fails.
The merchants are all willing to col
1ect regularly and as willing to pay
their bills at stated intervals, but
often it is impossible to collect, as the
customer will become provoked and
take trade to other stores. With uni
form system this abuse of the credit
system will be done away with and the
stores can do a credit business with
the understanding that all bills must
be paid at the end of the thirty day
period. The plan has met with ap-
prevail wherever it has been presented
and it is thought that every reputable
merchant in the city will be willing to
adopt it.

HAD A JOLLY TIME.
Many Guests Entertained at a Dancing
Party at Central Music Hall.

Party at Central Music Hall.
One of the most pleasant parties of
the year in Kenosha was the dancing
party given at Central Music Hall last
evening by Mrs. Mary Burke, Mrs.
Thomas English and Miss Lizzie
O'Donne11. The hail was pretti1y
decorated with palms and flowers and
more than two hundred guests took
part in the festivities of the evening.
Dancing was the feature, the music
being furnished by Stem Bros orches-
ira. There were a large number of
the older residents of the city present
at the party and the o1d-fashioned
dances were called for time and again.
In some incidents the callers were not
able to handle the dances of other
days and members of the party took a
hand IN the calling.
At midnight delicious refreshments
were served in the dining room.
Quite a number of guests were
present from out of town, among the
number being Mrs. James Casey,
Misses Mamie Langan, Alice Murphy
and Anna Murphy of Chicago and Mr..
and Mrs. James Murphy and Miss
Belle Gaffney of Racine.

Billy Smith is Arrested on Charge OF
Stealing Turkey Prom F. Palmgreens

Chief of Police O'Hare and Officer
Newhouse Friday evening arrested
Billy Smith on charge of stealing
a turkey from Fred Pa1ngreen. The
crime of which Smith is charged was
committed over a month ago and the
officers had been looking for him ever
since. At the time the turkey was
taken Pa1ngreen had a number of
fowls in front of his saloon on Eliza
beth street and it is alleged that Smith
walked past the place and seeing the
fowl picked it up and started to run.
Pa1mgreen fired a shot at the fellow,
but the shot went wild and the thief
escaped with the turkey. The case
came up in Justice S1ater's court this
afternoon and it promises to be very
interesting one. For some time people
in the Third ward have complained of
petty burg1aries and it is stated that
Smith is only the first of number
who will be placed behind the bars in
an effort to break up the gang which
has been committing the crimes.

J. M. sTEBBINs INJURED.
Fell on Slippery Walk on Park Avenue
and Received Serious Injuries.

James M. Stebbins, of Park avenue,
was the latest victim of the slippery
walks in this city, and it is probable
that he will be laid up for some time
on account of a fall which occurred
shortly before noon today, on Park
avenue, in front of the property of Mrs.
u. J. Lewis. The walk is one of the
most slippery in the city.
Mr.. Stebbins had been down town
and returning home he slipped and fell
heavily, his head striking on the curb,
cutting deep cash in the scalp. He
was picked up and taken home in a
carriage. Besides the cut in the back
of the head Mr.. Stebbins' left shoulder
was sprained and his right wrist badly
wrenched. Doctors were summoned at
once to care for him and while his in
iuries are not in any way dangerous,
they are very painful.

Judge Fish Makes a Formal Announcement
of His Retirement From The Race.
To set aside all doubts in regard to
the retirement of Judge Frank M Fish
from the Judicial race the News has
been privileged to print the following
letters bearing on the case.
Jan. 14th, 1901.
Hon. Frank M. Fish,
Racine, Wis.
MY Dear Sir-In common with many
other attorneys engaged in the practice
of law in the First Judicial Circuit it
is my earnest desire that you permit
your name to be used as a candidate
for Circuit Judge at the coming spring
election.
With these brothers at the Bar feel
under deep obligation to you because
of the uniformly, fair, impartial and
able manner in which you have per-
formed your official duties, thereby
placing our Circuit among the first, if
not the first, IN our state, In the number
of cases sustained by our Court of Last
Resort.
Without criticising other candidates,
it is the belief of your friends that if
you will permit the use of your name
as candidate your election will be
assured without resorting to any of the
methods, which, we understand, are
presently being employed in the cam
vass for this position. You have dem
onstrated to the people of this circuit
your fitness for the position and am
firmly of the belief that you can be
elected without doubt.
Trusting that you will consent ito
the use of your name, beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
JAMES CAvANAGH.

James Cavanagh, Esq,

My Dear Sir
Your esteemed favor of the 14th
inst. is at hand.
My judgment leads me to decline the
use of my name as a candidate for re-
election as Judge of the Circuit. I
reach this conclusion from the belief
that the interests of my family and
myself demand that resume the prac-
tice of law while in the prime of life in
stead of waiting until age and long
continued judicial service has practi-
ca11y untitled me as an advocate.
Thanking you and others who so
generously offer support and for the
mark of confidence thereby conferred,
I remain
Very respectfully yours,
FRANK M. FISH.

Engineer Modjeska of the Kenosha
Street Railway Company has been
called to New York and on this account
considerable delay is expected in ar
ranging the plans for the construction
of the new bridge over the river at
Main street. He expects to return in
about a week and a meeting of the
committee will be held at that time.
Although the cold weather has
struck Kenosha hard, there seems tC
be little suffering among the poor OF
the city, and not single call for help
has as yet been made. There is lots
of work in Kenosha, and there is little
reason why we should have suffering
in our city. Kenosha is very fortu-
nate in this regard, as many cities are
having a hard time to care for the sick
and destitute.

The symptoms of Love.

y German scientist has recently de-
scribed the symptoms of love as fol
lows: The oscillations in the interior Of
a persons body, as may be seen in the
case of yibratory attraction, are in har-
mony-that is to say, they are at the
first movement in complete concordance
with the oscillations in the interior Of
some other persons body. 1t is. of
course, necessary that the reactionary
sentiment In the case of the two sub
jects should be of an agreeable nature
since the two vibrations facilitate the
movements Of the atoms, which in this
case accumulate and emit their rays
without disturbing the diffusion.

residence stands upon the summit of
the long slope within hundred yards
of the old Harrison home Hundreds
of men are working in the attempt to
have the place ready for occupancy Of
the owner and his young wife by fall.
Mr.. Haggin's reasons for making
this his permanent residence are that
his wife, as well as himself, is a native
of the State. After his death Mr.. Hag-
gin desires his widow to live in the
greatest comfort and TO continue at the
head of the greatest breeding establish
ment in the world He will rename
the establishment Green Hills"
The house itself stands out like a
white landmark against the sea of
green on every side, and can be seen
for miles around. In this home of his
declining years Mr.. Haggin purposed
to spend a quarter of a million dol
lars, but so many alterations have been
made since the beginning that not even
the architects can tell what the cost
will be. The house. apparently. is al
ready on the verge of completion, but
so elaborate will be the finishing
touches that ten months or year will
probably elapse before the mansion is
really finished.

with guinea pigs, half a dozen of which
he put in each of two cages. taking care
that they should all be of exactly the
same age. so as to make the conditions
of the trial as free from flaw as pos
sible. Around one of the cages he
strung several wires, through which
a current Of electricity was passing
night and day, while nothing Of the
kind was done with the otAer. Mean
while, for a stated period. the animals
in both cages were fed with precisely
equal quantity Ct p.ovender of the same
kind, so that there should be no adj
vantage in this respect on either side
AS a result, 1t was found that the
guinea pigs that lived in an electric
environment gained in weight during
Il measured time 10 per cent more than
those in the nonelectric cage.
DR.. Herdman is confident that ordi-
nary pigs, If subjected to similar treat
ment, would exhibit like results. He
proposes to build suitably wired pens
and to furnish tie growing swine with
regular supplies Of electricity, much in
the same way as was done with the
guinea pigs.
Nobody can say what may be the final
influence of this new discovery upon
the pork trade, or whether the electric
bacon" Of the future may not command
a special price in the market. The
Imagination extends to almost any
lengths. Why may not the day come
when every COW in her stall shall have
her private wire? And If electricity is
good for pigs, it may serve to fatten
babies, or even grown persons who are

we may yet rise to higher things.
Anyway, DR.. w. J. Herdman has
found out that the galvanic current pro-
notes the growth Of tlssue-that is to
say, the increase of flesh. 1t had pre-
ylously been ascertained that plants de-
velop more rapidly under the electric
stimulus and there was no obvious rea-
son why animals should not be equally
responsive to it. Hence the idea Of
Dr. Herdman. which promises well,
though It's application cannot as yet be
said to have passed beyond the expert
mental stage.

Was in His Nat We Land, but the Banjo
Upset Him.
A well-known Chicago German news
paper writer went to visit his birth
place on the Rhine a few weeks ago,
with the intention of staying at least
six months. 1t was his first trip to Ger
many since he left there more than
twenty years ago, and before his depar-
ture he gave a supper to his English
and German friends. In a farewell
speech he told of his great love for the
fatherland, but he added that he loved
his adopted country with as much fer
vor as any native born. His friends
cheered the sentiment and tossed off
their glasses to his health and a safe
voyage.
One Of the party, German. created
no end Of laughter by predicting that
the traveller would not stay away from
Chicago longer than a month. He him
self had made a visit to the old home
last summer, and after two weeks Of
handshaking he was anxious to return
to America, which he did on the first
steamer that sailed from Bremen.
Il wager a supper for all who are
here" said the one who had been to
Germany last summer, that our host
does not stay in Europe six weeks.
He'll be homesick or 'heimweh, as we
Germans call it, before he is there ten
days, and If he wants to take me up on
the supper proposition l stand ready to
shake hands with him as pledge that
he accepts the wager"
They shook hands, and the "auf wei
dersehen" party came to a close in a
burst of German song.
Just five weeks from the day he left
Chicago the German traveller returned.
The next day he resumed his desk on
the paper with which he had long been
connected. During the week he sent
invitations to the friends who were
with him the night before the depar-
ture, inviting them to the "heimweh'
supper, as he called it. The supper was
discussed last night at a downtown
restaurant, and this is what the trav-
eler told his friends:
1T was my intention to remain in
Germany at least half year, and
probably would have done so had 1 not
visited a drinking resort one day in
Berlin, which is frequented by Ameri-
can tourists. There was one of those
automatic or electric banjos in the
place, and when heard it play Way
Down Upon the Suwanee River tears
came to my eyes. Think of it! A Ger
man, born in Germany, crying over a
negro melody, which had never heard
until came to America. The plain
tive old tune made me homesick for
Chicago, and l could no more shake it
off than l could fly. The notes of the
familiar old song seemed to burn into
my brain, and really believe if had
not sailed on the first vessel that 1
would have gone insane. That is why
l came back so soon"
