LAKE GENEVA OFFERS HELP.
Would Send Ice to Kenosha If Local Com
panY Can Be Secured to Handle It.

The Lake Geneva (non-trust) Ice
company has heard the wall sent out
from Kenosha on account of the abuses
of the ice trust and Jason Lothrop has
received letter from the managers of
one of the ice companies there offering
to ship ice into Kenosha if a1oca1 com
pany can be secured to handle it. The
ice will be supplied to the dealer so
that it can be sold at a price much
lower than is now charged by the
trust. The proposition has been re-
ferred to a number of businefs men
and they are considering the matter.
In the meantime the abuses of the
ice trust are getting harder to bear
and the old story of short weight ice is
being circulated. One man in the city
has today placed a set of scales in his
house and in the future every piece of
ice purchased will be weighed. If the
weight is below the amount claimed;
yea, if the scales do vary within the
estimation of a hair, as Shakespeare
would have put it, this man promises
to make it very warm for the ice COM
pany and its managers.

CHARGED WITH BURGLARY.
John Jacket Arrested for Breaking Into
RR. Station at silver Lake.

John Jacket, alias John Johnson, is
in cell at the county Jail charged
with the crime of burglary and within
a few days he will be taken before
Judge S1osson and allowed to plead
guilty to the charge.
Jacket comes from Lake Villa, ILL.,,
and he was brought here "Wednesday
afternoon by Constable Spitzman, OF
New Munster. Jacket seems to have
played in hard luck on Tuesday and
Wednesday. He was formerly en1-
ployed by the Knickerbocker Ice COM
pany and on Tuesday he received a
check from the company for a little
over fifty dollars. The money was
spent and lost in short order and Jack
EFT went to the Wisconsin Central
Railway depot at Silver Lake late
Tuesday evening. He had planned to
buy ticket to his home at Lake Villa,
but when he reached the office it was
closed. Jacket wanted a ticket and
he wanted it badly, so he went around
the depot until he came to window
and in some manner he managed to
raise this window far enough to get
his hand in to open the catch. he en-
tered the depot and began searching
for the ticket and when he ta1led 20
find the object of his search ne at
tackled the money drawer and with a
few pre1ininaries he soon olossomeo
ont a genuine burglar. In the money
draw er the agent had left about $2o IN
SfQTTH0
Jackets pockets.
After the robbery was completed
Jackett went to a ueighboring saloon
and made an effort to change the silver
money he had taken into paper SO that
he could carry it easier. This settled
Jackett. for when he produced the sill
yer he was forced to tell where he got
it and his story led to his arrest on
charge of burglary. He was taken De-
fore the constable and bound over &C
the Circuit Court and sent on to Keno
sha to board with the Sheriff.
When he reached Kenosha and was
placed behind the bars Jacket broke
down and cried like a child and asked
to be allowed to plead guilty to the
charge against him. He will go De
fore the Judge early next week.
| Jackett is said to have been employed
bv the Ice company at Silver Lake toi
three years and he has always been
very steady workman. He is "a years
of age and formerly resided with his
parents in Chicago. tits thought thai
the man was under the influence OF
LIQUOR when the crime was committed

TO TAME PILOT McGREGoR
Prof. o. L. Gleason Will Try to Tame a
Vicious Kenosha County Horse.

Prof. O. L. Gleason, whese fame as
horse tanner is known wherever vic
ious horses are known, is to make ar
effort to tame famous Kenosha horse
The horse is Pilot McGregor, ge1ding
owned by Louis Koh1er, the Main
street tailor. The horse has record
for viciousness. He was raised by
John Hannan, of Pleasant Prairie,
and when he was three years of age
any woman in the county corld drive
him. Several yeats ago, however, he
became very wild and for some time it
was not possible TO put harness on
him. Since he has been owned by
Koh1er he has shown a marked i'm
provement and only yesterday the
tailor drove him through the streets of
the city.
The assistant of Prof. Gleason was
in Kenosha today making test of the
animal and he considers him quite
vicious enough for trial of the Pro-
fessors skill.

The German Methodist Congregation
Break Ground For An Addition to
Their Church Building.
1T WILL BE A MODERN TEMPLE.
Addition Will Double Seating Capacity Of
Church and Add MANY New Features
to the Church Work.

Ground has been broken for an ex-
tensive addition to the German Meth
odist church, on Ashland avenue, and
by the middle of October the German
congregation will have one of the fin
est and certainly the most modern
church in Kenosha. The addition
now in procession of erel ton will be
to the north and west of the present
church building. 1t will be two brick
buildings, one thirty-two by ffty-four
feet in size and the other thirty by
twenty-four feet. The larger room
will Join the main auditorium of the
church and is designed for use of the
church as Sunday school and lecture
room. The two new buildings will be
of brick venir and the contracts which
have been let call for the completion
of the work in order to allow the dedi-
cation of the church by the middle of
October.
Rev. H. D. Ramp has been IN charge
of the church for the last year and in
that time the membership has sc
greatly advanced that the church
building has proved to be entirely too
small to accommodate the members at
tending the different ceremonies. For
this reason the regular Sunday school
room will be changed so that it will
become part of the main auditorium
of the church, thus giving the church
seating capacity of us.
The new Sunday school room and
lecture hall which will join the church
on the west will have a seating capac-
ity equal to the main auditorium and
it will be one of the prettiest lecture
rooms in the city. The other addition
as planned is for the use of the differ
ent societies of the church. This room
will be thirty by twenty-four and in il
will be arranged a place for dining
rooms and kitchens and verything
else that is necessary for the socia
advancement of the members.
The basement Of the church viii
also be utilized for the setting up of {
new heating plant and in this part Of
| the building will be placed toilet rooms
and water closets with all modern i'm
provements. This plan of the German
| Methodists is new one in Kenosha
but one that might well be followed BY
other church societies.
The new building will cost in the
neighborhood of three thousand dol
lars and a large part of this amour
has already been raised among TIL
members of the congregation ant
friends of the church. The entire sun
will be raised before the new rebuilt
church is dedicated and it is to b.
hoped that the people of the city will
give literally to the support of such !
worthy object.
The German Methodist church ha
made rapid strides during the past yea
and with Rev. Ramp at the head of tn
congregation it is now occupying
place among the German churches o
the city. Over hundred families ar
now listed on the church roll and dur
ing the past ten months forty new
members have been added.

STATE OF PARIS LEADS.
Distances All Competitors in the Race for
the Best story of the Recent Hot Spell


The man from GAINESVILLE who fried
an egg by the heat of the sun during
the last hot spell, has been forced to
take a back seat and yield the palm to
a resident of Kenosha county, state OF
Paris, who has the most remarkable
story of the work of the heat that has
ever been recorded IN this part of the
country.
The man is Michael Frederick, a
well known farmer of Paris, and he
alleges that during the hot spell a
brood of twenty-five chickens was
Matched out with no other agency than
the sun. The appearance of the chick
ems was as much of a surprise to Fred
erick as to his neighbors, and the story
which he tells of their being Matched
is authenticated by all the neighbors'
During the hot weather OF last week
Frederick, on his way home from one
of his fields, happened to pass by an
old grainery, In passing he thought
that he heard little chickens in the
building, and knowing that he had
not set any of his hens there, he en-
tered and discovered that the chickens
were in a small low attic. Going up a
ladder he discovered one little chick
which had evidently been Matched but
short time. He sought for the hen,
but found nothing, but during the
search another chicken was Matched
by the heat of the sun. Twenty-four
eggs had been scattered about the
floor of the attic, and within three
days every egg save two had been
Matched. The brood of twenty-five
chickens were removed from the grain
cry and taken into a barn and cared
for, and they are all alive and we'll.
1t is thought that this is the first time
in the history of the county that a
brood of chickens has been Matched by
the heat of the sun. Supervisor Geo.
Kreutcher, Of Paris, vouches for the
truth of Frederick's story of his re-
markable brood.

GEORGE HALE NAMED.
Well known Grocer Appointed Deputy Col
lector of Customs at the Kenosha Port.

George Hale, the we'll known Main
street grocer, yesterday received from
the United States treasury department
his appointment as deputy collector of
customs at the port of Kenosha, to
take the place of Charles H. Ernst,
whose term of Office expires this morn
ing. Mr.. Hale has accepted the ap-
pointment and begun his duties. The
position has, in the last few years, be-
come very important one, and as the
shipping business of Kenosha Is rap-
idly increasing, the work of the Office
is becoming more arduous and the
salary is being increased in proportion
to the work. The position will be of
great benefit to Mr.. Hale, as the col
lector has s1ways teen able to secure
a large amount of the trade of boats
touching the local port. With the new
appointment the location of the Gus
tom house will be changed to Mr..
Ha1e's store.
