In spite OF all our philosophy the

Kenosha- Port Washington Game Sun
day Afternoon the Best Contest of
the year in Ken0sha.
PLAY AN ELEVEN INNING TIE.
when the Port washington's Were Forced
to Leave for Train the Score
Stood Three to Three.

If there is anyone in the city who
doubts that the Kenosha team has the
ability to play good base ball he should
have been with the thousand rooters at
Grand View park on Sunday afternoon
when the Kenosha and Port Washing
ton teams played the fastest and most
exciting game seen Sin this city since
the days of the old Regulars. AT the
end of the eleventh inning, when the
Port Washington team was forced to
leave the grounds in order to catch
train, the score stood 3 to 3, and the
two teams will settle the argument at
another time.
The game was a great exhibition of
the national sport. Both teams were
on their metal and it is a toss up as to
which one p1ayed~the better ball. By
the decision of the umpire the game
should have gone to the .Kenosha team
in the second inning, but the Port
Washing ton team threatened to leave
the field and rather than disappOint
the crowd the Kenosha manager
allowed the point claimed by the Port
Washington team and in this manner.
the Kenosha boys lost two runs. The
game was wildly exciting and during
the last three innings pandemonium
reigned. The b1eachers and even the
ladies in the grand stand went wild
and rooted for the Kenosha team to
make the winning run. The hundred
rooters that had accompanied the Port
Washington team to the city also kept
up a constant din but it seemed i'm
possible for either team to get man
over the home plate. The feature Of
the game was the a11-rQund playing of
the Kenosha team and the pitching of
Jacobson, of Port Washington. The
pitcher for the visitors struck out ten
men. Frietag was also in great form
and allowed the visitors but eight scat
tered hits while the opposing pitcher
was hit safely ten times. The score:

THE JUNIOR PROM
Youth and Beauty Reign Supreme. Sim
mons Hall Scene of Gay Festivities.

The Junior promenade, the most en-
joyable event of the year among the
young people of the city, took place at
Simmons hall last night and it was by
all measures the most successful party
ever given by the pupils of the High
school in the city. For four hours the
High school toys and girls enjoyed
their fill of social pleasures. 1t was a
carnival of fun and youth and beauty
reigned supreme.
In honor of the Senior class the hall
had been draped in the class colors and
everywhere among the elaborate
decorations the class colors were seen.
The walls of the hall were hung with
American flags and from the chande-
liers were hung long festoons of tissue
paper of the class co1ors. The stage
on which the orchestra sat was COM
pletely hidden behind mass of palms
and potted plants.
The guests arrived early and before
nine O'Clock fully two hundred guests
were packed into the hall and half as
many had fled to the gallery to get a
breath of fresh air and watch the gay
crowd below. Never did the beauty of
the Kenosha young people become
more apparent and to one who sat for
a moment in the gallery the sight was
an inspiring one. The music for the
evening was furnished by the Jacoby
orchestra and nearly every dance was
encored by the happy dancers. Late
in the evening refreshments were
served in the balcony. After refresh
ments were served dancing continued
and it was early morning before the
strains of "Home Sweet Home babe
the tired, but happy dancers leave for
their homes.
The party was by far the most sue
cessful ever given by the school boys
and girls and the Juniors are receiving
congratulations on their success.
Many guests were here from other
cities to attend the party and this
added to the pleasure of the evening.

DIED VERY SUDDENLY.
Mrs Frank Tourtelotte Expires From
Heart Disease in Town of Bristol.

Mrs. Berthy Tourte1otte, one of the
best known young women of the town
of Bristol, died very suddenly Sunday
morning at her home near Wesley
Chapel church. The deceased had been
Ill only a few minutes and her death
caused great sorrow in the neighbor-
hood. Mrs. Tonrte1otte had given
birth to a child about two weeks ago
but she had recovered and had been
able to be about the house on Saturday
and Sunday morning. For short
time before her death she@had been
sitting in the living room of the house
but when she was called to dinner she
arose from her chair and started into
the dining room. Members of the
household hurried to her assistance but
she fell back upon bed and expired
before they could reach her. A doctor
was called but the lady had been dead
for some time when he arrived.
Mrs. Tourte1otte was 81 years of age.
She was daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
August Zumach, of Green Bay, but
had resided in Kenosha county for the
last ten years. She was active in the
social and religious work of the neigh
borhood and had a large number of
friends to whom the announcement of
her death came as a terrible surprise.
She is survived by husband and two
small children.

BAD WISCONSIN ROADS.

Kenosha County Roads Are Awful

So said Edward Insley, who with his

Mr.. Insley is a great traveller and as

Travelled over all parts of the world.
His method of travelling is very unique
as his vehicle is a typical prairie
schooner pulled by one horse. Mr..
Ins1ey passed through Kenosha Sun
day and made a pleasant call on
number of Kenosha friends.
Travelling in this manner they had
an excellent opportunity to compare
the different roads over which they
passed, and they finally decided that it
was a standoff between Wisconsin and
Illinois as to which had the poorer.
eyes, Wisconsin roads are decidedly
bad,'' said Mr.. Insley. '"The road
from here to Chicago is bad enough as
whole, but from here to Racine the
condition is a burning shame to the
community. The Wisconsin, roads are
the most picturesque of all those we
passed over, but my impression is that
gravel pits must be scarce or else the
people like mud whole lot better than
good roads. There is magnificent
chance to build good road between
Milwaukee nd Chicago along the Ke-
nosha line.
The gravel could be carried on

along the way. What better could
they ask? The better roads are in the
less populous districts, and this condi-
ton of things reflects especially upon
the county organizations and officers
of Kenosha, Racine and Milwaukee
counties. Roads are not quite so bad
in Milwaukee county S in the two
souther' counties, but this city should
be interested in obtaining these neces-
sary improvements -

FIRE ON PARK AVENUE.
Burning Draperies Threaten CONFEDERATION
at q. s. Van Ingen's.

The residence of H. S. Van Ingen,
on Park avenue, had a baptism of FIRE
on Saturday evening and had it not
been for the efforts of mem bers of the
household the house would have been
destroyed and as it was before the
flames were extinguished great dam
age was done.
The fire originated shortly after nine
O'Clock in the room on the second floor
occupied by Miss Grace VanIngen. In
some manner one of the lace curtains
at the window was blown into burn
ing gas jet and IN a second the hang
ing was on fire and the FIRE was COM
n1unicated to the window casing and
the floor. Miss Van Ingen made an
effort to. extinguish the flames and
called To her assistance Miss Bertha
Belcher, who is employed at the house.
Miss Belcher rushed into the flames
and tore the burning curtains from
the window. In the meantime the fire
had taken splendid start and it
looked as if it would be impossible to
save the curtains and furniture in the
house. However, sMr. Van Ingen soon
arrived and forming bucket brigade
from the members of the household the
flames were extinguished. The loss
from the fire is placed at about one
hundred dollars and it is entirely COW
cred by insurance.
In Juggling at the burning draperies
Miss Belcher was painfully burned
about the hands and portion of her
hair was burned off. 1t is reported
this morning that the young lady was
not seriously burned and she was able
to attend to her work today.
