THE members of the staff of the Chi
cago American are fighting desperate
lY to find some way to evade the SEN
tence of Judge Hanecy and keep out Of
Jail. Meanwhile Mr.. Hearst. the pub
Usher and proprietor of the paper, for
whom the Judge also has writ ready
on his return to Chicago, is keeping as
far away as possible from that city by
returning to New York from Ca1ifor-
MIA by way of New Orleans. However
conditions have changed in New York
during his absence and things may not
be so easy for him in that city now as
before the election. Some judges
there may believe that Judge Hanecy
has esta b1ished a good precedent and
decide that Hearst's New York paper
also needs a little attention from the
courts.

TIE PRICE OF PEACE
Is Having 8 Very Successful RIM At
Mcvickers's Theatre, Chicago.

Jacob Lift has scored another tre-
mendous triumph in his great produc-
ton of 1.-The Price of Peace" at Nc
Vicker's Theatre, Chicago. The play
which tells an enthral1ing and fascin-
ating story is set SO gorgeous1y and
with such magnitude it fairly takes
away the breath when seen.
The Record-Hera1d said: ut dwarfed
into insignificance most exhibitions OF
its class. The advance promise OF
magnitude was fully redeemed" The
Tribune critic said: "The bill at Nc
Vicker's will not have to be changed
for a long time" The Inter Ocean
declared: "It is the best staged melo-
drama McVicker's has known and 1t
has known the best. Mr.. Lit has
out-Litted Lift"
The chorus of praise is unanimous.
There will be special holiday perform
ances Thanksgiving afternoon and

BRISTOL TELEPHONES.

The farmers telephone has struck
Bristol and many of the prosperous
grangers of that township have taken
advantage of the opportunity for more
intimate relations with their neigh
bors. The agent who is putting in the
phones has his hands full in explain
ing their use and the system under
which they are operated. AS there is
no central exchange all the instru-
ments are connected and some caution
is necessary when Mrs. Brown wants
to- let Mrs. Smith know the latest
about Mrs. Jones, especially when the
latter lady may be at the other end of
the Wilmot Agitator.

Directors OF the Ksnesha Country
Club Hear Annual Reports OF the
Ofleers for the Year.
NEW HOLES FOR NEXT YEAR
Report OF the Treasurer Of Club shows q
small DsAcit Of SAOo-chanEss
for Naxt SaaaeR.

The directors of the KenoSha Coun-
try club held their annual meeting
Thursday night at the Office of the
Balm Wagon Works to receive the an
aual reports of the officers of the club
sud to map out the general plans for
ese club work during the next season.
With this meeting of the directors the
SEASON Of the club is declared officially
closed and within few days the work
the winter.
At the meeting Thursday evening
the treasurer of the club presented his
report which showed small deficit for
the year. The club has received about
twelve hundred dollars from the mem
bers during the year and the expendi-
lures for all purposes reached nearly
sixteen hundred dollars, thus leaving
deficit of about four hundred dollars.
This amount will undoubtedly be
raised among the members of the club
with little trouble, as the benefits of
the club this year have been shared by
many and the amusement furnished
has been such that the members feel
that they would be willing to pay
double the deficit rather than to see
the club disbanded.
It is interesting to note that among
all the clubs on the North shore the
Kenosha club shows the least deficit
for the year. AT Skokie, where more
than $4,000 was raised among the
members, a deficit of 81, 900 was re-
ported.
There will probably be many chang
es in the club next year. The directors
after considering many plans, have de.
cided to make no increase in the mem
bership dues, but an effort will be
made to secure large lumber of new
members.
improvements in the grounds of the
club are now being planned and these
improvements will include the laying
out of three new holes, increasing the
course to the regulation eighteen holes
These holes will add interest to the
work of the players and will make the
links better adapted for team matches,
In the coming season more attention
will be given to match games with the
other teams and in this manner great
er interest will be given to the game
in Kenosha.
The links will be re-opened early in
April for the preliminary play and the
match games will be started as usual
on Decoration day. The election of
officers for the year was deferred to
the February meeting of the directors.

- WIN &&4 b1&tSG-&2-&aW.
The qniet little thoroaghfars of
Eagle street was the scene of domea-
tic tragedy Wednesday evening, which,
had it not been for the happy arrival
of police officer, would have prob
ably resulted in n double murder and q
snicide. The police officers refuse to
divulge the names of the people con-
nected with the tragedy, but 1t is stat
ed that arrests may follow within a
day or so, when the whole story will
be given to the public. It is said that
the people connected with the incident
are we'll known and for this reason
every effort is being made to suppress
the facts.
The affair occurred shortly after ten
o'clock. The wife and mother had
been seriously i'll with TYPHOID fever
and she had called in her sister to care
for her. Late in the evening the hus-
band returned to the house and he was
under the influence of liquor. In some
way quarrel was started among the
three people which resulted IN the hus-
band Selling a revolver and threaten
ing to kill both his wife and her sister.
The wife was not able to leave her
bed, but the sister fed from the house
and aroused the neighbors. In the
meantime a police officer was found
and he hurried to the house. In a
short time the husband was disarmed
and he surrendered himself to the
officer. The women refused to appear
against the man and for this reason
the arrest was not made. 1t is said,
however, that the man will be arrested
as soon as his wife RECEIVERS from her
illness.
When he was approached by the Off
Ger the man admitted that he had
threatened to kill the two women and
commit suicide. The women evident
ly thought that the threat would be
carried out, for the woman who was
confined to her bed with fever had
armed herself with a rifle, with which
she had decided to defend herself.
The police officer removed the re-
in charge of the women. Thursday
morning one of the women came to the
police Office and refused to appear
against the man and the revolver was
returned to her.
Should the man continue his present
bel1icose actions it is probable that the
residents of the street will take hand
in the matter and force him to give
the neighborhood wide berth.

WITH Christmas only a few weeks
off, it may not be out of place to sug-
gest to the prospective purchaser of
Christmas gifts, that the early bird
eets the worm. The purchaser who
comes to the counter early not only
has the benefit of a newer and more
complete stock to select from, but re-
ceives more attention and considera-
ton from the clerks than it is possible
for them to bestow upon him later in
the season, and he avoids the crowd1ng
and other little annoyances which the
late buyer is sure to receive. There is
no sadder spectacle at Christmas time
than the wild eyed and distracted indi-
vidua1 with numerous presents still to
get, which he has put off buying until
the very last minute, charging through
the crowd of shoppers like the running
back of crack football eleven.

A NEW SAND COMPANY.
Capt. Michael Daily Secures Valuable
Rights on Washington Island.

It is announced this morning that
Capt. Michael Daily, of Milwaukee,
who has been connected with the Wis
consin Sand and Gravel company, of
Milwaukee, for many years has Sc
cured from z. G. Simn ons the right to
market sand from Washington Island.
With this valuable right Capt. Daily
is arranging to form big sand com
pany to operate from Kenosha next
season. His scow, the "Ellen," will
be disposed of and a larger and better
boat will be purchased for the work in
this city.
Kenosha IS rapidly becoming a CEN
ter for the sand industry and in the
last few years number of quite pre-
tentious companies have been formed
in this city. The Krug Sand company
is the pioneer in the field, and it is
constantly charging its equipment.
Alderman John Sershon has also
worked up quite large business by
selling sand in Chicago.

DECISION FOR PERCENTE.
Battling" Nelson Loses to Kenosha Boy
After Six Rounds.

Joe Percente and Battling" Nelson,
of Chicago, had an interesting contest
at "dukes'' before the Badger Athletic
club in Milwaukee Friday evening and
at the end of six very fast rounds the
Kenosha boy was declared the winner
of the bout. The Kenosha boy was
not favorite with the Milwaukee au-
dience and for this reason Nelson had
all the popular support. AT the close
of the battle when the fight had been
awarded to the Kenosha boy, the
crowd called Nelson on the stage and
showered him with silver. Nelson put
up good battle, but Percente had the
better of him from the first and for his
gameness in standing Off the awful
onslaughts of the reckless "Joe" the
crowd thought he should be paid. The
defeated boxer was quite in favor of
the silver shower and he had joyful
ten minutes picking up the profits of
his popularity. At last he was called
to the front OF the ring and asked to
make speech. The speech took the
form of a challenge to Percente to
meet him in the ring again in the near
future. OF course Percente willingly
accepted the challenge.
Percente put up one of the best
fights of his life against the Chicago
boy and the treatment he received at
the hands of the Milwaukee crowd was
something to be frowned on by all
lovers of the boxing game. Percente
had his man whipped after the second
round and three or four times Nelson
was forced to go to the floor to avoid
the terrific punishment which Joe
meeted out to him.
The referee in speaking of the match
said that Percente had clearly the bet
ter of the contest, getting in four
blows to his opponents one. The run
away tactics of Nelson. in the first
three rounds managed to save him
from a knockout, but should the two
men meet again Percente will I'M
doubtedly beat Nelson in short order.

ADMrRAL scnLHx. In reRiying to
tie pabIishsrs Of various magazines,
whe have been trying to force him
into ioarn A1iam. stated that he did not
believe thc writing of magazine artt-
c1es to be strictly in accord with the
spirit of his profession. None of the
men who did the fighting, neither Ad-
n1iral Schley nor Capts. Cook and
Clark, have written any criticisms of
the manner of conducting the battle or
of the Commanders of the ships en-
gagged, bat have left that part to be
done by the men who, from their safe
positions far in the rear, had possibly
better opportunities to observe and
criticise the movements of the ships
actually engaged than those who were
In the thick of the battle. Admiral
Sch1ey, never a rich man, has been
made absolutely penni1ess by the ex-
penses of the trial, so that it would not
be strange if he should decide to take
some such means to increase his
income.
Admiral Sampson, technically in
command of the fleet, has drawn
$4,000 prize money since the Spanish
war, the larger part of this coming to
him as his share of the spoils of the
battle of Santiago. Admiral Schley,
who fought the battle, has only s., 200
coming to him as his share, and even
this he owes for the expenses of his
trial, in addition to all his savings of
forty-fve years active service in the
navy.
It is said to be the intention of some
of the mem bers of Congress, who are
friends of Sch1ey, to introduce bill
to reimburse him for the expense of
the trial. Such bill should be passed
as soon as possible. It is now appar-
ent to the great ma jority of his cour-
trvnen that the Admiral has been the
victim of unjust and unwarranted at
tacks and they do not believe that he
should be made to stand any loss in
connection with the Court of Inquiry.

TO RUN CLEAR THROUGH.
Surveyors Report That Line For Electric
Will Run Prom Chicago to Milwaukee.

Surveyors Report That Line For Electric
Will Run From Chicago to Milwaukee.
The mystery surrounding the work
ings of surveyors in thu county dur
lug the last few days, was partially
solved last night when one of the sur
veyors who left the party at Racine,
returned to Kenosha and in speaking
of the work of the surveyors, he stated
that they were laying out line to ex-
tend all the way from Chicago to Mil
waukee at a distance of two miles west
of the lake shore.
Most of the line has been laid out,
and it does not touch any of the smaller
cities on the route. Both Racine and
Kenosha are given the go-hy, but
Waukegan is touched for the apparent
purpose of securing a connection with
the E.. ]. & E. belt line at that place.
The surveyor who was in the city
Friday evening refused to give any
information as to the backing of the
line, and it is generally regarded as a
big bluff on the part of some one who
is seeking to overthrow competition.
It has been limited that the Milwaukee
company is back of the survey, but
the report cannot be verified.

CONCERNING THE BAPTIST CHURCH.

The house of worship of the First
Baptist church has been ruined by fire,
but the church itself lives, and shall
continue to live, by the grace Of God,
and by the help and sympathy of the
friends who seem more numerous than
or the church had thought. In behalf
of the church l wish to express ap-
probation of the many words and acts
Of sympathy from the citizens of Ke-
nosha. Three churches, the Method
list, Congregational and Unitarian,
have offered us the use of their places
of worship. Owe sincerely appreciate
these generous offers. Other offers of
buildings have been extended, for
which, also, we are truly grateful
The various plans for the church for
religious work during the coming
winter will be carried out SO far as
is possible. The regular Sunday
services of the church will be held to-
morrow as follows:
Preaching services morning and
evening in the Y. M. c. A. auditorium,
at the usual hours. The Young Peo-
ple's Society will hold it's meeting at
600 O'Clock at the same place. The
Bible Schoo1.wi1 meet at 2:30 p. m. in
the S. S. rooms of the Methodist
church. The choir will meet for prac-
tice tonight in the Y. M. C. A. audi
forum at 700 O'Clock sharp. At 800
O'Clock there will be mass meeting of
the members and friends of the church
in the Y. M. G. A. auditorium, to take
formal action toward the rebuilding of
the church. We shall begin where we
are and where the FIRE left off, and
hope to rise from disaster and defeat
the stronger.
wish personally and in behalf of
the church to thank the fremen for
the heroic manner in which they Crap
pied with the fire. No blame attaches
to them because the building was not
saved. It was an impossible task to
save the structure when once the fire
had secured a foothold between the
brick veneer and the plaster. deem
any criticism of the fire companies for
their failure to conquer the fire, unwar-
ranted and unjust.
In behalf of the church,
EDWARD G. KUNKLE, Minister.
