GRAND CONCERT.

The concert that is to be given for
the benefit of the Swedish Society
Svea by the Svithiod Singing Club, Of
Chicago, at the opera house here next
Saturday night will be one of the fin
est concerts given in this city. The
singers appeared at the expositions in
Stockholm and Paris and at both
places received the first prize for har-
mouy and training. The song that
captured the prize was Hear Us,
Svea, which song will be sung at
the opera house.
The Chicago papers speak as follows
about one of their recent concerts
given at the Auditorium there: ''When
the strains of music poured forth from
the trained voices at the memorial
concert last night the very walls of the
great Auditorium seemed to sway with
the power of the sound. The grand
swell of harmony filled every heart
with emotion and Swedes and Ameri-
cans looked on with pride at the mag
nificent demonstration. Every seat in
the colossal theatre was filed and the
boxes were occupied by some of the
most prominent Americans in Chi

CITY Council Passes Amended Street
Railway Ordinance and Tracks
Will be Completed.
HAYNES PROTEST WITHDRAWN
B. J. Arnold Announces That Contract is
Let for Paving and Cars Will be
Started within Two Weeks.

The long contest for, the construc-
ton of an electric railway in Kenosla
has been concluded again, for at the
meeting of the Common Council Mon
day evening the aldermen passed the
ordinance granting to the kenosha
Street Railway company the right to
change the route of the road from FIRE.
mont avenue to West Main street,
thus giving the company straight
route for a through line. With the
passage of this amended ordinance
Mr. Arnold announced to the Council
that the work of completing the road
would be finished at once and that cars
would be started on part of the line
within two weeke.
Early in the evening the arrange
ments for the passage of the amend
ment to the ordinance were completed.
Mr., Arnold held many hurried CONVEX
sations with the aldermen, and to cap
the climax letter was presented from
Gustav L. C1ausen and Patrick f.
Haynes, in which the two promoters
asked to be allowed to withdraw any
objections they had made to the pro-
posed change of the route of the road
and stating that they had sold all their
rights TO the franchise to the Kenosha
Street Railway Company. This seemed
Ito cinch the IA after and when the or
dinance had been read it was promptly
passed by vote of fourteen to one.
Alderman Greenwa1d, of the Sixth
ward, remained true to his former po-
sition and insisted that his vote should
be registered against the change
During his visit in Kenosha Mon
day evening Mr.. Arnold announced
that the contract for the paving of
half of Milwaukee avenue hid been let
to the A. E. Rutledge Company, of
Rockford, at practically the same rate
as had been paid by the city for the
paving on the same street. He stated
that the contracts for the new Main
street bridge would be let at once and
that every effort would be made to
have the bridge built during the cold
weather.
The cars which will be used on the
new line will be sent to Kenosha at
once and it is the intention of the
company to have cars running on the
Milwaukee avenue tracks within the
next few weeks. In order to secure
power for the running OF these cars
the company have formed an alliance
with the Kenosha Gas and Electric
company.
Mr.. Arnold will leave for New York
on Thursday, but before he departs
the final arrangements for the COM
pletion of the Kenosha line will have
been made.

Rev. E. F. DOrnfeId Will Not Accept
Call to Take Charge OF MiIWau-
kee Missions.
HE WILL REMAIN IN KENOSHA.
His Announcement Is Received With JOY
bv the Members of the Kenosha Church.
Ties of Fifteen Years too Strong.

The Rev. E. F. Dornfeld, pastor of
the German Lutheran church, who
recently received a call to become the
minister in charge of the Mission of
the church in Milwaukee, will not
leave Kenosha for the work in the
larger city, for last evening Mr. Dorm
field telegraphed the different ministers
interested in the call, that he would
decline their offer. This step was
taken after the general meeting of the
members of the church yesterday.
Mr.. Dornfe1d had all but decided to
accept the call to Milwaukee. The po-
sition offered an opportunity for
broader field of work ard usefulness,
ard would have placed him in line for
advancement to many churches much
larger than Kenosha, but when the
members of the church he had served
for fifteen years gathered yesterday
and by unanimous vote declined to re-
lease him from his services in this
CITY, Mr.. Dornfe1d was noticeably
touched by their loyalty to'him, and he
decided to let another take up the work
in Milwaukee, and he would remain
with the Kenosha church. The an
nouncement of the decision of Rev
Dornfeld was received with cheers. .%
Mr.. Dorm field was seen last evening
and in spea king of the matter he said
that while he felt at times that it was
his duty to go to Milwaukee, and while
the cause of missions was one very
near to his heart, he could not break
the ties which bound him to the church
in Kenosha. 1t is stated that before
the service yesterday some of the
leading members of the church sug-
gested that the salary of Rev. Dorm
feld be raised as an incentive to Sc
cure his remaining in Kerosha, but
the minister absolutely declined to
consider such proposition. The peo-
pie of all the churches in Kenosha will
be pleased to learn that Rev. Dornfeld
has decided to remain with the church
in this city.

THE VILLAGE PARsoN.

'sThe Village Parson" will enact his
1ife's history to all who may flock to
the Rhode Opera House next Sunday
evening. In this production there is
much religious and dramatic emotion,
and the piece is remarkably clean and
lofty in detail. Church people can well
draw a parallel between some of our
,'Iatter day saints and the ideal viii
1age preacher, who is not given to
tickle vanities as portrayed by the
Rev. Tom Cooley. Church people who
sneeze at the stage would do well to
see s'The Village Parson" and learn
therefrom4tl1e art of forbearance and
true Christianity. Every one of the
FIVE acts has touching climax that
brings copious tears. Then again the
comedy element assists in the interest
of the even performance. All in all,
'.The Village Parson" is true dra-
matte treat.

KENosHA GIRL DISAPPEARS,
Reported That Miss Jennie o'Malley is
Missing From Her Home in Chicago.

A report from Chicago states that
Miss Jennie O'Ma11ey, former well
known young lady of this city, IS mys
teriously missing from her home there.
The story of the disappearance of Miss
O'Ma11ey, as told by the papers, is a
dramatic one Last Sunday evening
the young lady in company with
Charles Lundquist, kenosha boy,
left her home in Ravenswood to go to
the Alexian Brothers. hospital for a
visit with brother of the girl who is
receiving treatment there. AS the
couple were passing the corner of
Eugene and North Clark streets they
were assaulted by gang of fourteen
toughs supposed to have been mem
bers of the famous Market street
gang. Lundquist did everything in
his power to protect the young lady
and in the melee that followed he was
not only assaulted with club, but he
was forced to give up the conflict when
one of the ruffians pointed revolver
at his breast. In the fight one of the
men managed to tear ring from the
finger of Miss O'Mal1ey, but Lund-
quist saw the ruffian commit the act
and managed to secure the ring before
he was overpowered by the gang. The
fight caused great excitement in the
neighborhood and pending the settle
ment of the matter by the police Miss
O'Mauey disappeared. Since that time
no trace of her has been found. Lund-
quist has spent the time searching all
the places where the young lady was
known, but he was not able to find any
trace of her.
The case seems to be a most mys-
terious one and is engaging the atten-
ton of the police of Chicago.
The young lady missing is, daugh-
ter of Owen O'Malley, of this city, but
when the father was seen today he
could not give any light on the matter.
He stated that his daughter had left
Kenosha several months ago and since
that time he had not heard from her.
When last heard of Miss O'Ma11ey was
residing with her sister, Mrs. George
Anderson, at 2427 North Roby street,
Ravepswood.
1t is reported that Miss O'Ma1ley
was quite seriously injured by being
struck by one of the members of the
gang of toughs and it is thought pos
sible that she will be found in one of
the Chicago hospitals,

INSECTS DARKEN SKY.
Countless Hosts OF Tiny Visitors Invade
Kenosha Monday Afternoon.

Like great cloud countless billions.
OF insects settled down on Kenosha
Monday afternoon. They made their
invasion at 2 O'Clock and remained un-
til late in the afternoon, when they
disappeared as suddenly as they APP
peared. Whence they came or whittier
they went or what they were no one
seems to have the least idea. They
we're smaller than gnats, but they
were thick enough to shade the sun
light.
People fought their way through
the mighty hosts of minutiae and spit
them out as they fought The pests.
flew into the eyes of man ard beast,
inficting annoyance upon both. Even
the schoolboys, robust little fellows
who delight in such encounters, we're
content to stay indoors and watch the
invaders from a safe retreat behind
the windows. Women came through
the plague of insects with hands beat
ing the atmosphere like the arms of a
windmill. Horses stopped stock still
and kept their heads in vigorous vibra-
ton to prevent the little pests fir ON
getting into their eyes and nostrels.
Ministers began to talk of the plague
of Egypt which led Moses to organize
his expedition for trip through the
wilderness. Scientist were puzzled,
and physicians discussed the prolixity
of bacteria as they plowed through the
swarms.
Reports from cities and towns stu
ated ON the lake shore show that Keno
sha was not the only place that re-
ceived visitation; it was general all
along the west shore of Lake Michi-
gan. This would indicate that they
were blown in from the lake, but where
they originated 40 one seems to have
the least idea.
Two years ago there was similar
visitation. In other years there have
come what is known as lake flies, but
they are much larger aud not nearly so
numerous.

MAY FORM A LEAGUE.
Southern Wisconsin Base Ball League sug-
gested for Next Season.

A number of the managers of base
ball teams in Southern Wisconsin
have started a movement which is to
result in the formation of a base ball
league among the cities of Southern
Wisconsin for next season. The
movement has been started at James
Vile and while that city did not have a
strong team in the field this season it
seems possible thatif the league goes
through it will be leader in the
movement. The cities suggested for
membership in the league are James
willie, Beloit, Lake Geneva, Racine,
Kenosha and Milwaukee. There are
teams in all of these cities and in all
the cities Sunday ball can be played
without any interference from the Of
fcia1s.
The Wisconsin State League was a
complete success and it is claimed that
even greater success may be achieved
with six-team circuit in the southern
part of the State.
A call for meeting of the managers
of the teams in the different cities will
be sent out in the near future, at which
time the work of the movement will
be givensin detail.

CIGARETTES CAME HIGH.
Mrs. Grace Smell walkers Special Tobac-
conist wants Pay For Cigarettes.

Mrs. Grace Smell Coffin, who has
figured in several divorce cases recent
1y, has been made the defendant in
suit brought by Notara Brothers, of
Chicago, to recover $11 which, it is al
legged, Mrs. Coffin is indebted to them
for cigarettes which she purchased
from the firm, the weeds having her
monogram affixed. According to the
statement of a member of the firm,
Mrs. Coffin, last June, who was at that
time Mrs. Walker, went to the Chicago
establishment and ordered 500 cigar
cites of particular flavor, and also
gave orders to have her monogram
affixed. This was done, and the weeds,

Walker, who was at that time residing
at her summer home in this county.
Papers have not yet been served on
the plaintiff as she is at present enjoy
ing honeymoon trip with her fourth
husband, to whom she was married
last week, after having been twice di-
yorced from him and once from James
Walker, of Waukesha.
Should the defendant be located legal
service will be secured at once by the
plaintiffs and the matter brought to
trial. ''Mrs. Coffin liked cigarettes
very much,'' said D. Notara. "She
bought them of us long time before
she contracted this bill, and we think
she should pay for them now. She
used to tell us that they inspired her
when she was writing stories, and
that they made her forget her troub-

Frank LaMgin Released From State Prison
OH Writ From Supreme Court.
Frank Langin was released from his
cell in the Safe prison at Waupun on
Saturday last and has been returned to
Fond du Lac to await new trial on
charge7of murder. The writ releasing
Lang1r1 arrived Saturday morning and
the Kenosha boy at once boxed up his
books and papers and sent them to his
home in Kenosha. He was then turned
over to the officers of Fond du Lac
county and was taken back to the
county jail at Fond du Lac. The trial
of Langin will be taken up at the term
of the Circuit Court which will be held
in November. There is little proba-
bility of the case coming to trial, as no
new evidence has been discovered in
the case and the Supreme Court has
held that the evidence presented was
not sufficient to convict.

bates Due for Use of Paved Streets.
All the claims of property owners re-
siding on the paved streets against the
Kenosha Street Railway company for
the use of these paved streets will be
paid at once. The warrants are ready
for the people to whom the money is
due and the Northwestern Loan and
Trust company this morning notified
the City Engineer and City Clerk that
they we're now ready to,pay any and
all the warrants.
This announcement that the rebates
would be paid was made after the ke-
uosha Trust company had received a
letter from Mr.. Arnold, the president
of the Kenosha Street Railway COM
pany, stating that he was glad to order
the payment of the rebates. During
the morning several of the warrants
were presented to the company and
they were promptly paid. The Keno
sha company was placed IN a peculiar
position in regard to the payment or
the rebates. The money had been de-
posted with the company for spe-
cifc purpose and the company was not
ready to pay the warrants until they
had received instructions from Mr..
Arnold. The whole delay in the mat
ter was caused by the fact that Mr.. Ar
mold had been out of Chicago for sew
era1 weeks and had not been able to
give the matter his personal attention.
The warrants are now ready for the
property owners on Main and Market
streets and Prairie avenue. There are
many of the warrants and the total
amount of the rebates to be paid by
company will amount to little less
than SIS, 900.

A NEW SENSATION.
Chicago Police Think That Miss Emma
Becker Was Seen in chicago.

The Chief of Police of the city is in
receipt of letter which may assist in
solving the mystery surrounding the
wherea bouts of Miss Emma Becker
who disappeared from Kenosha some
three weeks ago. The letter in ques-
ton is from the police of Chicago and
it states that a young woman has been
found in Chicago who it is thought
possible is Miss Becker. The descrip-
tion of the young woman in Chicago
tallies partially to the description of
the missing Kenosha girl. The young
woman referred to by the police of
Chicago was recently rescued from a
questionable house in that city.
Chief of Police Newhouse seems to-
give the latest story of the missing
girl little credence and he does not
think it possible that the girl found in
Chicago is the girl missing from this
city.

The Village Parson.

''The Village Parson," which has
become a great favorite with theatre
goers, will be seen at the Rhode opera
house next Sunday night. This play
is intensely dramatic in action, and,
while not over-strained, there are eli
makes which keep the interest of the
spectators wrought up to the highest
point. Many of the passages are very
pathetic, and there are scenes in which
the element of humor predominates.
The plot is well defined, and as the
story ends happily, there are no re-
grets. The scenic features of the acts
in fact are equipped with new and
bright scenery. The company is far
above the average and finished pro-
duction may be looked for.
