KenOsha Golfers Return From Their
Trip After Winning Two Games at
Oshkosh and Appleton.
APPLETON LOSES BY THREE UP.
Petit Takes Another Record by Reducing
the Score of the River View Links
From 70 to 76.

Tired by the hard play of Friday
and Saturday the Kenosha golf team
arrived home Sunday, having played
and defeated the golf teams of the
Oshkosh and Appleton Country clubs
and in each case the score being three
up in favor of the local golfers.
The members of the team report
that the pleasure of the trip is some
thing that will long be remembered.
At both the cities they were treated
with the greatest hospitality. The
game at Appleton was a REPETITION of
the game at Oshkosh. The River
View golfers placed strong team in
the field against the Kenosha players,
but the final score showed a victory
for the locals by a score of IA to IL.
AS in the game at Oshkosh Petit
was the star of the day. He was
matched against G. S. Dickinson, who
is one of the best players of the State.
Petit played the eighteen holes in
three less than the former record of
the course and defeated Dickinson by
a score of three up. The record of the
course had been 70 but Petit negoti-
ated the holes in 76. His play was the
sensation of the day and was greeted
with hearty applause by the large ga l.
1ery of interested parties who followed
him about the links.
w. H. Yule had been too iii to p1 ay
at Oshkosh but he recovered sufficient
1y to go into the game on the River
View links and brought his opponent,
P. J. Pride, in seven down. B. F.
Windsor also made bid for high score
by defeating John Stevens by score
of four up.
The score of the match follows:

Five Sterling Programs Presented in the
Y. M. c. Il. Course.

For three weeks the committee in
charge of the Star Entertainment

&c here.
The opening number, which will
occur Monday, Oct. 9TH, will be the
famous Boston Ladies' Symphony
Oschestra." This troupe consists of
twenty-three members, each one an ar
fist. For five years the Boston orches-
ira has been the best and most pleas
ing attraction the bureaus have had to
offer The orchestra is assisted by
Carl France, the eminent New York
baSso.
The second program of the course
will be dramatic lecture by Leonard
Carver, who presents an entirely orig
ina1 lecture on Victor Hugo's master
piece, "Jean Vatican" 1t is likely
that no subject could be presented
which would attract greater interest
than this.
"The Madrigal club a Chicago
musical organization of high order,
will present the third program. The
feature of the Madriga's program is a
mixed quartet, which has been pro-
nounced the best in the West. They
give an unusua 1y fine concert.
the fourth program, is an imperson-
ator who has rapidly forged to tire
front in his line. He gives in an ex-

TO HAVE TELEPHONES.
Farmers Between Racine and Kenosha
Sign Contracts for Telephones.

! The Wisconsin Telephone company
will place telephones IN farm houses
between Racine and Kenosha, and at
least fifteen farmers have signed con-
tracts for telephones. The line will be
a party line, and in that way a cheaper
rate can be given to the several far
mers. Work will be started within a
very short time.
It is believed that the Wisconsin
Telephone company will soon have
their phones IN many farm houses
throughout the county, as many letters
are being received asking for informa-
ton as to the cost of telephones in
farm houses. If number of farmers
along the same road would meet and
sign applications for telephones there
is every reason to believe that the
company would place phones in the
houses. Telephone wires are now
strung along several of the country
roads in this county, but the company
would have to string another wire to
be used as a party line.

BRISTOL PASTOR HONORED.
Rev. George Enoch Perry Named as Pastor
of Washington Ave. Church, Milwaukee.

The ReY. George Enoch Perry who
has been closely connected with the
history of Metbodisme and the Metho-
dist church in southern Wisconsin aud
especially in the towns of Bristol and
Salem in this county has been selected
as the successor of DR.. George H.
Trever as pastor of the Washington
Avenue church, in Milwaukee. The
charge is one of the best in the gift of
the Methodists of Wisconsin and Rev.
Perry will be congratulated by his Ke-
nosha county friends on securing so
splendid an appointment. Mr.. Perry
was born in England and educated at
one of the leading English Theological
schools. He came to this country when
he was twenty-five years of age and at
once entered Garrett Biblical Institute
at Evanston. Here he remained for
three years and during this time he
acted as minister to many of the
smaller churches about Chicago. While
acting in this capacity he was sent to
take charge of the church in Bristol.
He gave new life and hope to the mem
bers of the church and during his three
years pastorate a new church was err
ected. The value of Mr. Perry as
minister was at once recognized and
he was ordered to take charge of the
church at Whitewater which position
he is resigning to take charge of the
Milwaukee parish.

The score of the match follows:
Golfers at Waukegan

On Saturday afternoon about forty
members of the Kenosha Country club
went to Waukegan where they were
entertained by the Wankegan club in
a royal manner. The Kenosha golfers
reached the club house in time to par
take of a splendid dinner which ha6
been prepared by the ladies of the
neighboring club and after dinner the
members of the two clubs enjoyed a
number of friendly contests on the
links. There was no club or team
matches, but the afternoon was spent
very pleasantly. Supper was served
late in the evening after which the
members of the two clubs retired to
PERKINS, hall where an informal dane
ing party was given.
The members of the Kenosha club
returned home late in the evening.
Two weeks from Saturday the Keno
sha club will return the compliment
and entertain the Waukegan club in
this city.

Fierce Northeast Gale Sweeps Over
the Lake and Washes Out the
Old Calkins Pier.
OTHER BREAKWATERS DAMAGED.
Many Vessels are Forced to Remain In
Port-Breakwaters and Cribs South
Damaged to Great Extent.

Another one of the old Kenosha
landmarks is no more, for during the
terrific gale which prevailed over the
lake on Saturday and Sunday Calk1ns
pier, which had stood out in the lake
near Deming street for many years,
was completely washed away and only
a small portion of the ground work OF
the cribs is left standing. The gale
was one of the worst ever seen on Lake
Michigan. The wind gained great
velocity Saturday afternoon and all
during the evening and Sunday it con-
tinued to blow with a terrific velocity.
Many vessels were damaged and where
it was possible boats did not put out of
the harbor. Great crowds of people
gathered on the beach to watch the
rolling of the waves. Late Saturday
evening the old pier began to show
the result of the continual beating OF
the waves and towards morning it
gave way and the sea carried away the
superstructure. Later the destruction
was completed.
All along the breakwater to the
south of Town Line street the waves
did considerable damage. Just below
the Ca1kins pier another crib was
washed away and it is stated that the
breakwater at Kemper Hall was con-
siderab1y damaged. The city break
water at the foot of English Court was
not badly damaged and in fact was
little affected by the washing of the
waves. The government breakwater
at the opening of the harbor was not
damaged in any manner by the storm.
The destruction of the Ca1kins pier
marks the loss of another old land
mark, for Mr.. Ca1kins stated this
morning that the pier will not be re-
built. It was built many years ago at
the cost of several thousand dollars
and for the last ten years it has been
popular resort with the bathers and
cIared that the fish at Calkins pier
were small, but whenever there was a
bite to be had some one was sure to be
fishing there. It was the resort of the
small boy as bathing beach and dur
| ing the summer months the pier was
always crowded with bathers.
| While the foundations of the crib
are still intact, Mr.. Ca1kins states that
it would not pay to rebuild the pier
and the foundations will probably be
taken out and used at some other
point Mr.. Ca1kins estimates his loss
from the storm at about a thousand
dollars.
The work of the waves caused quite
little damage to the property of the
Krug Sand company. The waves
washed under the building and the
damage is estimated at about $500.
There is no possibility that the COM
pany can place their building so as to
prevent this washing as the buildings
are now located on the extreme west
line of the property.

MOBBED AT WAUKEGAN.
William starkes, Claiming Kenosba as Els
Home, Approves of Assassination.

William Starkes, claiming to have
lived in Kenosha until a short time
ago, was mobbed at Waukegan this
morning because he expressed his
qualification at the fact that the Presi-
dent had been shot by an assassin.
Starkes was a foundryman in this city
and went to Waukegan some few weeks
ago to work. He is alleged to have
been an anarchist. This morning he
appeared on the public square and
while in conversation he stated that he
was glad the President had been shot.
The words had hardly been uttered
when the crowd nearby seized the fell
low and bore him down. A mob of
over hundred people gathered and it
was necessary for the Waukegan police
to fight their way to the prisoner. He
was picked up bruised and bleeding
and taken to the county Jail, where he
was slated on five different charges.
He will have a hearing tomorrow.
None of the member of the mob were
arrested.
The incident caused the widest ex-
element in Waukegan and as it is not
thought there are any grounds for
holding the man he will probably be
released tomorrow and run out of the

ELEVATED FOR MILWAUKEE.
City Council Pass Ordinance over Veto of
Mayor Rose.

The council of Milwaukee Monday
night passed an ordinance granting
the Milwaukee, Burlington and Lake
Geneva Railroad company a franchise
to build an elevated road into the city,
overriding the veto of Mayor Rose by
vote of IS to II. The company i'm
mediate1y filed it's acceptance of the
ordinance.
Peter Somers, one of the promoters
Of the company, said: "Work upon
the new road will begin at once. The
road will have Chicago connection,
but whether it will be connection
with the outer belt or direct connec-
ton With one of the Eastern roads I do
not nnow."
From another source it is learned that
the road will in all probability connect
with the outer belt line, and it is
claimed that it is the Hartman inter
est which is backing the project.
The work of building the line will
be in charge of Jacob Bick, of Toledo.
1t is claimed that the company will
proceed at once to condemn it's right
of way outside of the city, and that it
will elevate it's tracks in all cities and
villages through which it passes and
at all crossings.
The promoters claim to know moth
ing of the intentions of the Chicago
and Toledo promoters beyond the fact
that they promise to build the road.
Clarence barrow, of Chicago, has had
charge of the Chicago end of TIE deal
and he has not let the promoters know
what is behind it.

TO BE BEARD AT WAUKEsHA
Walker Divorce Suit Will Not Be Heard in
the Local Court.

The regular September term of the
Circuit court opened this morning but
there was little of interest to mark the
opening day. Only a few attorneys
from other cities were present to look
after cases and most of the cases
which had been promised as interest
ing were either dismissed or continued
for the term.
Many Kenosha gossips had prepared
to reve1 in the family troubles of
Grace Smell Walker and her husband,
but this pleasant reve1ry was nipped
in the bud when the matter was ven
ued by stipulation of attorneys in the
case to the Waukesha Circuit court
wl@re it will be taken up on Septem-
Der 10.
The case of Emile Gerge1 against
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway company to recover damage
from the company for the death of her
husband and serious injury to herself
were dropped from the calendar and
dismissed. 1t is reported that the
cases were settled by the company
paying the plaintiff in the case the
| sum of one thousand dollars.
The old case of Charles Euting VS..
The Northwestern Railway company
was revived again and by the order of
the court placed on the calendar to be
heard later IL the term. The case of
Mccormick VS.. Wiesmann was stricken
from the calendar on account of the
fact that it was not filled in time fol
trial at this term.
