The Beers Will Con-
tinue to Fight
BOtha and DeWet to Strike
Natal.
Kitchener'S Complaints of
BOer Cruelty.

New YORK, Dec. 23.-The Daily News
special correspondent in South Africa
states that the peace movement among
the Beers has broken down and that the
object Of recent meetings was to make
fresh plans for continuing the eau paign,
according to the Tribune's London cor.
respondent. descent on Natal through
the Drakensburg is contemplated. De
Wet is to be the chief actor in this move
and General Botha will cooperate with
him from the ncrth. The correspond
ent adds the surprising information that
Swat duplcity resulted in arms, Rmmu-
milton and correspondence from Europe
in getting across the border aud that the
Boera are we'll mounted and provisioned.
According to the Tribune's London
correspondent, a dispatch has been re-
ceived by the War Office, from Lord
Kitchener, forwarding further instances
of the alleged murders of natives by the
Boers. Most Of the cases rest solely upon
native testimony, among them being a
horrible story of the burning alive Of a
Kafiir named Franz, He wac the driver
Of wagon forming part Of British
convoy captured between Pretoria and
Rustenberg year ago. Two Beers. it is
alleged, wrapped him in buck sail and
piled bags OF oats upon them. They then
poured parafiine upon the heap and set
fire to it.
The total number OF Kaflirs reported
from Kimberley as having been
murdered is 81, but detailed accounts
have not yet been received. Kaffir
evidence has on many occasions since
the outbreak Of the war been found un-
trustworthy, but there seems little
reason to doubt that the Beers adopt the
practice Of shooting any natives that
they may think conveyed or would be
likely TO convey information Of their
movements to the British troops.

lens are waiting to be solved, and we

considered as certain, namely-by
March 4th, 1905, Porto Rico will be

the touch of the Monroe doctrine, will

Fifty sixth Congress.

Except for short special session,
which will wind up it's work this 9th
day of March, the Fifty-sixth Con-
gress concluded it's eventful history
Monday morning, March 4th. 1t was
in session on Sunday, but by fiction
of logic Saturday was stretched so as
to cover Sunday. Congress is saint
1Y, but not sanctimonious institutions
it is too religious to violate the sane
tons of the Holy Sabbath. 1t has
been an iconoc1ast to some extent, at
least it has attempted to smash the
idol of taxation. The act passed in
1898 to levy tax to meet expenses of
war has been modified so that hence
forth certain taxes will be reduced and
some entirely cut off. The stamp on
1egacies, bank checks, dispatches,
deeds, policies and passenger tickets
will not disfgure these aestUetic docu-
ments much longer. Henceforth, so
far as Uncle Sam is concerned, we
may take our patent medicines, smoke
our pipes and cigarettes, and drink
our whiskey unterrifed by the night
mare of a particular tax.
But the closed Congress was one of
the most notable since the days of
Andrew johnson, when the RECONSTRUCT
ton of the seeded states was holly
debated. The conspicuous attribute of
the Fifty-sixth Congress was con-
structiveness. It built and perhaps
built wiser than it knew. 1t built, or
ordered to be built several public
buildings, an army, navy, govern
ment for Ala ska, another for Porto
Rico, and another for the Philippine
Islands. It built Hawaii into a terri
tory, and commenced a splendid work
which will be completed when Cuba
shall have been built into Republic
an ndependence-and shall take her
place in the family of American ma
tons. In fact the Fifty-sixth Congress
made history which will be read by
our children and our great grand-child-
rem, as today we read the Declaration
of independence and the Constitution.
It has immortalized itself in its own
record. True, fever drained legislators
have sometimes woven webs of turgid
oratory, much to the disgust of the
sensible people of the country; but
Times gentle palm will soften it and
sweep it away, and the silly jingoism
of Morgan and his ilk will, like the
sobbing storm, pass to it's oblivion.

ARRESTED A PEDDLER.
Assistant Treasurer Agent williams Ar
rests Emanuel Hawker.

Assistant Treasury Agent ]. D.
Williams Thursday afternoon arrested
Emanuel Hawker, well known
citizen of the northern part of the
city, on a charge of selling with
out license. Hawker had been en-
p1oyed by an Ohio firm to sell
crockerv and had been taking orders
from door to door when he fell under
the eye of the government sleuth. He
was at once placed under arrest on
charge of selling crockery without a
license. After hearing in the case
was held in Justice Slater's court an
adjournment of a week was taken.
Hawker was released on bail of 500.
This is the first arrest made by the
assistant treasury agent for some time
and Hawker claims that the officer
|overstepped his lights in this case and
that he will make him suffer for it.
Hawker has been resident of the city
for many years and was not selling
goods, but simply taking orders for de-
livery at a later date. The case
will be bitterly contested by the de-
fendent in the action.

Mrs. Amelia T. BrcadbeCk, of New
York, Sends an Offer of the
Matteson Property to Mayor.
CITY HOSPITAL is SUGGESTED
Mrs. Broadbeck Offers to Trade Property
to City for Old Poor House. Lots on Ash
land Ave. and Old Engine House.

Mrs. A. T. Broadbeck, of New York
city, who recently purchased the Mat
teson property on Prairie avenue, this
morning sent proposition to Mayor
German offering to trade the property
to the city for use as city poor house
For some time the city has been
looking about for new site for the
poor house and the proposition ,of Mrs.
Broadbeck seems to be one that is
worthy of consideration. The property
in question is one of the finest pieces
OF property in the city and in her let
ter to the Mayor Mrs. Broadbeck states
that the property could be so repaired
as to serve for use both as a place for
keeping the city poor and for an emer-
gency hospital. The house is an ex-
ceed1ngly large one, containing some
thing like sixteen rooms. One portion.
is completely separated from the other
and on this account it would be easy to
make one side of the large house a
hospital, while the other con1d be re-
served for the use of the paupers de-
pendent on the city. The property
has been valued at $4,000, but it is
stated that the house alone cost more
than this amount. The lot is large
and in district that will make it pos
sible for it to increase in value.
In her proposition to the Mayor Mrs.
Broadbeck states that she is willing to
trade the property to the city and in
return she asks that the city deed her
the present poor house site, the old en-
CINE house on Wisconsin street, and
the property owned by the city just
north of the cemetery on Ashland
avenue. No other conditions of the
deal are mentioned. The most va1ua-
bic of the property asked by Mrs.
Broadbeck is the property on Ashland
avenue. AT present it is very low and
would make splendid residence lots.
The condition of the city poor house
has made it necessary for the city to
take some steps in the near future to
take better care of the city paupers
and the plan suggested by Mrs. Broad
beck is splendid one. While the
property is on the outskirts of the
city. it is sufficiently large to allow
room for future extensions if such
should be deemed necessary.
Real estate men seem to consider the
trade good one for the city, and i is
claimed that they would gain one of
the most valuable pieces of property in
the city by accepting the offer.
The plan to make an emergency hos
pita1 of a part of the building will GER
tain1y appeal to all and will have the
immediate approval of the medical fra
ternity in Kenosha. An emergency
hospital is one of the greatest needs of
the city and the proposition of Mrs.
Broadbeck seems to solve the problem
in very easy manner.

amb1e can mean only that Cuba has
the right to dissolve at any time the
agreement that its territory shall not
be used as basis of war against the
United States. No self-respecting
nation would permit one of its depend
encies, or little nation that it had
befriended, to hold itself in an attitude
of possible antagopism to its interests.
In this respect the Cuban Convention
must be modified. The Cubans already
see the Importance of endorsing the
mild demands of the United States.
The new Cuban government must
not be of cob-web character, but stable
and permanent, maintaining peace,
fulfilling every international agree
nent, and impregnable to the interfer-
ences of foreign powers: and to this
end it will need the moral, military
and financial backing of the United
States.

NEW FRATERNAL ORDER.
Equitable Fraternal Union Organizes Here
with One hundred Charter Members.

| On Thursday evening, March z, an
assembly of the Equitable Fraterna1
Union was organized in this city by
Local Deputy F. W. Ripley, assisted
by District Deputy F. H. Wolcott, OF
Appleton.
This order has only recently been
introduced into this part of the state.
| 1t is fraternal benefit association and
differs from like orders in several par
| ticu1ars. One chief difference is that
each member pays an equal amount
for each thousand dollars he carries.
Another is the unique method of ac-
| cumulating reserve fund. The order
was organized under the insurance
laws of this state in August, 1897, and
now has a membership of over six
thousand.
Kenosha assembly starts in with the
large membership Of a hundred charter
members, among whom are some of
the most successful business men of
this city.
Following is the list of officers for
the balance of the year:
President-Chas. H. Goodman.
Vice President-Thos. Hanson.
Past President-T. Hanson.
Secretary-W. L. Hackley.
Treasurer-Jos. Bendt.
Advisor-E. c. Theirs.
Medical Examiner-Dr Ripley.
Trustees-For years, G. r, Sutl1er-
land; for two years, G. G. Brown; fo- i
year, D. J. Harff.
Local Deputy F. w. Ripley, who or
gained Kenosha Assembly, is entitled
to credit for the gent1emanly manner
in which he worked in this city. He
has many friends here who hope he
may be induced to remain with the
local assembly for time to build it up
even to larger membership.

MILWAUKEE rs DEFEATED.
Kenosha Bowlers Make a Garrison Finish
and Win From Milwaukee Players.

Kenosha and Milwaukee bowlers
met in battle royal at the Grant house
alleys, in this city, last evening and
while the first two games in the match
were victories for Milwaukee, the Ke-
nosha men made garrison finish, and
won the contest by score of twenty
eight points. In the first two games
the Kenosha men were decidedly off
their usual form and the Milwaukee
team finished both games with good
margin to her credit. In the third
the Kenosha boys went in to win and
the scores made were exceedingly
large. Bert Holderness led the Keno
sha men with score of I'll, while
George Villas stood at the head of the
Milwaukee players.
