Two Hundred of the Three Hundred
Survivors of the First Wisconsin
Cavalry Promised to Come.
KENosHA THE OLD CAMP GROUND
History of the Old Organized by
Prof Edward Daniels of the State
University in 1861.

Ella borate arrangements are beng
made in the city for the annual re-
union of the First Wisconsin cavalry
of civil war fame, which will bring to
Kenosha many of the best known sur
vivors of the civil war in Wisconsin.
There will be one thing about the re-
union that will revive many memories,
and that will be the fact that it will be
held on the spot where the regiment
first encamped when it was ready to
be mustered into the service in 1861.
Round the history of the First cavalry
and it's members center many of the
traditions of Kenosha and Southern
Wisconsin during the civil war, and
the reunion will probably be the great
est event of the year in Grand Army
circles. For years efforts have been
made to get the survivors back to the
old stamping ground, but the efforts
have always resulted III a few of the
boys gathering round campfire IN
Chicago, and this ended the reunion.
However, over two hundred of the
three hundred survivors have promised
to come to Kenosha to go into camp
for a few days on "The Old Camp
Ground"
The history of the First regiment is
the history of Wisconsin in the war of
the rebellion, for there was no cavalry
regiment that saw more of the great
struggle, or to which higher praise is
due for the success of war. The First
regiment contained the flower of Wis
consin's manhood. Nearly every pri-
vate in the ranks was picked from the
best families in the State, and large
number of the boys were college boys,
who had been attending the State uni
versity when the call to arms was

Henry King Elk1ns, One of Kenosha s Early

Mr.. Henry King E1kins, who was

years ago, and came to Kenosha, then

forties, holding relations to and inter

Now Chief O'Nei11 comes to the rescue,

WILL HAVE NEW BANK
The Merchants and Savings Bank of
This City Will Reorganize.-
$25, 900 Capital.
A. K. WILDER TO BE CASHIER.
The New Bank Will Have for It's Presi-
dent II. B. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. At
tention to Savings Department..

The Merchants and Savings Bank
of this city, after four years of sue
cessfu1 business, has re-organized
under the State laws with a capital of
$25, GOO fully paid. This step was rem
dered necessary in order to fill the
growing demands of its increasing
business.
The new company will have as its
president H. B. Robinson, who has SO
capably filled the office of cashier since
the institution first opened it's doors in
1899. The care which he has always
displayed in the management of his
customers business assures the new
corporation of a firm financial founda-
ton upon which to build an excellent
business. His progressive, yet conser-
vative policy, will be that of the new
company.
A. K. Wilder, who has been chosen
to fill the position of cashier, came to
Kenosha last November we'll recon-
mended, being related to one of Chica-
COS leading bankers. Mr.. Wilder
gained his knowledge of finance in the
employ of the Continental National
bank of Chicago, which is the largest
National bank in that city, with one
exception. His service of seven years
with that institution certainly is an
enviab1e record, and speaks we'll for
his business ability and integrity. The
choice of Mr.. Wilder for cashier in the
new company is wise one, and shows
good judgment on the part of the man
agement.
The new company will offer it's GUS
toners the best facilities N all lines of
banking.
Particular attention will be given
to the savings department, when de-
posts from $1.00 upward will be re-
ceived, thus affording an opportunity
for every one to lay aside little for
the time of need. The new manage
ment will sell foreign exchange on all
countries, and steamboat tickets of all
kinds. The insurance department will
be carried on before as will also the
safety deposit branch Of the business.
The vaults are we'll known as some of
the best in this part of the country.

The man working about one of the
lawns of the street had set fire to the
grass on the west end of the premises
of a Durkee avenue residence and be-

with prairie fires and the like, he inn

BURNED TO DEATH.
Gordon Webb Dies of Injur1es.-Mrs4 Webb
Very Seriously Burned.

A terrible accident occurred Satur-
day afternoon at the home of Albert
Webb, in an obscure settlement in the
Western part of the county, which re-
suited in Gordon Webb, the three -year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Webb, being
burned to death and the mother so ter
ribly burned that it is not thong hit pos
sible for her to recover.
The accident was the result of a be-
lated celebration of the Fourth of July.
Webb was working in field far from
the house, and the mother and the
children had gone into the garden to.
work. Gordon slipped away from the,
party and went to the house to get a
bunch of irecrackers and some.
matches. On attempting to light the
firecrackers the little fellow ignited
his clothes and rushed out into the
yard, enveloped in flames. The
mother ran to the assistance of the
child, and in attempting to put out the
flames she was terribly burned about
the arms and legs. She still survives
but is in a critical condition. The
flames were finally subdued, but the
little fellow survived only a short
time, the skin and flesh being burned
from his face and body.
1t was some time before a doctor
could be summoned. Another of the
children, girl of five years, was pain
fully burned in attempting to assist
her mother to put out the flames.

FREE RURAL DELIVERY.
Proposed Routes in Racine, Kenosha and
Milwaukee Counties.

It is very proba bic that the residents
of Racine, Kenosha and Walworth
counties, through the efforts of Con
gresham H. A. Cooper, will have the
privilege of enjoying free rural de-
livery before many months. Mr..
Cooper has been working assiduously
on the scheme for some little time and
stated this afternoon to Journal rep
resentative that he had been notified
by Mr.. J. P. Walker, one of the rural
delivery commissioners, that he will
visit him in this city in the very near
future for the purpose of inspecting
and going over the proposed routes for
the rural delivery in the above men
toned counties. Mr.. Cooper said he
would recommend the adoption of such
an improvement. Mr.. Walker at pres
ent is engaged in like work in Rock
county, which is in the Fourth Con-

he will visit this city. The residents
of the town of Caledonia will have
route esta b1ished running from this
city through the township, another is
to go out of Franksville, one from
Union Grove, and two or three in Wal
worth county and a like number in
Kenosha county.
Whether or not the rural delivery
will be established in the First dis
trict depends upon the report made by
Mr.. Walker to the postofice authori-
ties at Washington. Mr.. Cooper was
rather inclined to believe that the re-
quest of the rural residents would be.

AT WORK AGAIN.
A New Scale Giving a Premium on Good
Days Work Adopted at simmons.

Work at the Simmons foundry be-
gan again Monday after a weeks va
cation. After the Fourth of July ali
the men were paid off, and the work
was resumed Monday with the new
scale in operation. The new scale
provides an opportunity for all the
workmen to earn fair days wages if
they care to. 1t is made on the basis
of fair wage for fair days work,
and in addition the company has in
troduced something novel in the way
of premium on good day's'work.
The scale is piece scale, and &C.
cording to the arrangement, for extra
work or a certain number of pieces
above the standard, the 1aborer shall
get a ten or twenty per cent increase
on the whole days work, according to-
the number of pieces.
Some of the men at the factory
working under the new scale earned a.
big wage Monday, and, it is thought
likely that the scale will be found a
very profitable one for the workmen4
AS was stated by the company al the
time of the settlement of the strike.
there were certain men who were not
taken back, and, moreover, when the
work was renewed Monday there were
certain others who were not re-en-
p1oyed owing to the fact that they
were not needed, and were not up to-
the standard as workmen.
1t was reported on the streets this
a he low a~eAh
of the six men would cause more
trouble at the plant, but inquiry failed
to substantiate the rumor.

DESIGNS UPON DowIE's ZION
Irreverent Persons Plan an Amusement
Resort in Center of Town.


A fully equipped Coney Island re-
sort may be established in the very
center of the much preached Zion
City, which John Alexander Dowie is
endeav oring to establish on the now
famous site north of Waukegan.
A Lake County farmer, who pos
sesses 12O acres of land and mind of
his own, may make matters interest
ing for the alleged healer. The name
of the farmer is William Cole, and his.
land lies in a prominent position in
the Zion City tract. II is within a
stones throw of the temple, which has
been talked of SO much, and borders
on one of the principal thoroughfares
leading from the Northwestern tracks
to the lake. It is claimed that Dowie
has entirely overlooked this tract, and
now outsiders are endeavoring to Sc
cure options on it, the alleged object
being to set up such place of amuse-
ment as is found on. the eastern sea-
shores.
1T is claimed that Dowie has been
making strenuous efforts to buy the
land, but Cole has been running up the
price with each new bid.

great Roadway on Prairie, but the lat
ter had sufficient start to allow it to
reachsthe hreakwater minute ahead
of the Defender. Here with remark
ably short tack Illinois passed Prairie
and rounded the breakwater a full
minute ahead of Prairie at the finish.
The time for the Defender on the ten
mile course was 1:1O:45. Minota, left
to end the contest alone, made re-
markable finish and closed the race
eight minutes later.
Minota had considerable trouble in
making che tacks, the mainsail refus-
ing to respond to the efforts of the
crew, and had it not been for this
trouble the boat would have finished a
closer second to Illinois. The great
crowd of watchers along the piers re-
garded the work of the defender as a
wonderful trial under the wind condi-
tons, , nd as the defender entered the
harbor it was greeted by perfect
fusi11ade of whistles and shouts.
The last race of the day was be-
tween the two cruisers Mawaja and
Dolphin. Both boats made p1ucky
race, crossing the starting line togeth-
err. Mawaja left Dolphin after the
first leg of the course had been sailed
and finished twelve minutes ahead
Dolphin made a p1ucky fight in the
heavy seas and several times the crew
was drenched.
There was one unfortunate event in
connection With the race and that was
the fact that Vencedor, the winner of
the sloop class, crossed the finish line
to the starboard of the breakwater in
stead of the port. All the other boats
rounded the breakwater, however, but
the judges gave the decision in favor
of Vencedor, and it is possible that the
crew of Vanenna will file a protest to
the decision.
The summary of the races follows:

Hereafter yacht races will be popu-

been well aroused by the recent races
and it is not unlikely that another sea-
son will see a repetition of the races
with the probability of some local
yachts being in the events.
