students Seek to Raise Ter Thousand
Dollars For Erection of Building.

The recent gift of z. G. Simmons of
SIS 900 to the Kemper Hall gymnasium
fund has caused the friends of the
school to take renewed interest in the
plans for the erection of a new build
ing for use as a gymnasium. The
amount to be raised has been set at
ten thousand dollars.
Mr.. Nathan Allen, one of the trus-
tees of .Kemper Hall, who has always
been greatly interested in the erection
of the gymnasium, has given 81, 900 to-
ward the fund and smaller amounts
have been collected to the amount of
five hundred dollars. Of this amount
the largest gift was made by Charles
S. Ki1bourne, of Aurora, who gave 5000
toward the fund. With these gifts
s. 500 still remains to be raised and it
is earnestly hoped that the friends of
the school will rally to the support of
the erection of the new gymnasium
during the present year.

Deafness Cannot Be cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inf1amed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re
stored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Ha1l's

B. F. Windsor, Johnson Jackson and
Fred Hannahs Reap Golden Har-
vests From "AIma" Mine.
TOOK STOCK AT LOW FIGURES.
Mine is Discovered to be one of the Richest
Ever Located in colorado and Stocks
are no Longer on the Market.

The flag is flying from the mast
head of the Kenosha Crib company
and the Windsor Spring company just
as a little celebration of the rare good
luck of Johnson Jackson, Fred HAN
nahs and B. F. Windsor in being long
on shares in the Alma mine which has
lust been discovered in Colorado. All
three of the Kenosha men have made
tremendous gains on the money which
they invested less than year ago and
it is impossible to tell at the present
time the extent of their winnings.
The Alma mine is situated on Seaton
mountain and consists of twenty
claims which are said to hold the rich
est ore ever discovered in Colorado.
The company which is now managing
the claims was organized in Milwaukee
less than year ago and seven Mill
waukee men together with the three
Kenosha men constitute the stock
holders in the venture. 1t was not
known that the mine had any value
until yesterday. The Milwaukee men
had started for Colorado to take look
at the mining property and when they
reached Denver the news of the great
strike was received. There are about
a dozen places in the land where pay
ore can be obtained. The last strike
is of te1uriumin new ground coming
from a vein from which two men re-

The company is capitalized at
So, 100000. The stock was placed on
the market some time ago and at the
time the company was formed the
stock sold as low as two cents share.
Later it became more valuable as the
mines were developed and rose to ten
cents a share. At present all the
stock has been taken from the market
and it cannot be secured at any price.
The strike on Seaton Mountain has
shown the mine to be new bonanza
and all the men connected with it will
reap handsome profits on their invest
ments.
The Kenosha men were seen this
morning and cared to say little of their

the mine which he had purchased a
little over six months ago at almost
nothing. He said that he had not re-
ceived any information as to the ex-
tent of the strike but that his shares
were not for sale at any figure.
Mr.. Johnson stated that he and Mr..

The Milwaukee men connected with
the company are M. D. Newa1d, Julius

TO HONOR THE HEROES.
superintendent Harvey Suggests That the
Schools Celebrate Memorial Day.

Superintendent of schools, Norman
L. Baker, is in receipt of several
copies of pretty forty-six page PAM
ph1et containing suggestions for the
proper observance of Memorial day in
the public schools.
The pamphlets are part of $4,000
copies sent out by State Superintend-
ent Harvey, and every one of the IL
600 school teachers in Wisconsin, be-
sides the officers of Grand Army posts,
Women's Relief Corps and others, will
receive a copy. The front cover con-
tains a picture of the stars and stripes
in red, white and blue. In his intro
ductory remarks Mr.. Harvey says:
''The aim of this circular is to as
sist teachers and others in promoting
the spirit of patriotism among the
youth of the state by paying due hon
or to the survivors of the civil war and
by laying tribute upon the graves of
those who sacrificed their lives for the
preservation of the union and for tn
suppression os slavery in land the
birthplace of freedom and the home of
Justice. The sectional strife of ante
be1lum and be1lurn days is rapidly dis
appearing and in it's stead we see a
great people standing together upon
the broad p1atfrom of equality, for
getting the past and looking hopefully
toward the future for grander nation
and better nation than we have to-
day."
The pamphlet contains a speech de-
1ivered by the governor at Madison in
1884, excerpts from speech made by
Senator ]. v. Quar1cs before the Mid
d1esex club Of Boston last February,
and a number of especially fine pieces
of prose and poetry.

A oHILD's NARROW ESCAPE
TWO Year Old Son of Mr.. and Mrs. F.
Kramer Narrowly Escapes Death.

AEdUleT NdIIOW4y 6oOdQ00 OOGVA'
The two year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. F. Kramer, residing at 488 West
Park street, had narrow escape from
meeting a terrible death on Wednes-
day afternoon The little boy had run
away from his mother and had hidden
in one of the front rooms of the second
story of the house. Here he had
locked the door after him and when
the mother went to search for the child
she could find nothing of him. A little
later in the afternoon William Hill,
who was at work near by, was called
to the house by the screams of child.
He ran around to the front part of the
house and discovered that the child
had attempted to crawl into the VIM
dow and the window had fallen down
catching the child and pinioning it to
the window sill. The child was being
slowly strang1ed. The mother Of the
child soon learned of the peril of the
little one, but she was powerless to
help, as the door leading to the room
was locked and she was not able to
break it open. By this time the
screams Of the child had attracted
quite a crowd of people to the house
and some men headed by Mr.. Hill went
to the room and burst open the door
leading to the room in which the child
had been locked. When the door had
been opened the cries of the child had
ceased and it was feared that he had
already been strang1ed by the window.
In another moment the child was res
cued and for short time it lay limp in
the arms of it's mother. Restoratives
were applied and the child regalned
consciousness in few minutes.
The child was seen this morning and
is said to be in usual health. It's es-
cape from death caused great excite
ment in the neighborhood and doctors
state that it is miraculous that the
child was not fatally injured by the
accident. The window was a very
heavy one, but the little child with
great presence of mind had thrown
out a hand and for some time had pre-
vented the window from crushing its
neck.

MAKE THEIR REPORT.
Commissioners in the Condemnation Pro-
ceedings Send In Their Report.


The commissioners recently appoint
ed to assess damages in the condemna-
ton proceedings brought by the North
western Railway company to condemn
certain lands on the north side for the
purpose of building the spur track to
the Allen tannery completed their
work on Wednesday, and their report
has been filed with the Clerk of the
Circuit Court. The report is an ex-
haustive one and contains the memo
randum of the testimony given at the
different sessions held by the commits
sion which consisted of j. II. Charles,
George Hale and II. F. Jordan.
In their findings the commissioners
decided that the damages to be paid by
the railway company for the lands
condemned should be placed at 5000,
divided as follows: Adam Roders,
$500; john Hallett, $1,000; Elizabeth
Stah1, $3.50; Susanna Rosing, $3.50.
Competent judges of real estate
claim that the awards of the commits
sion are most equitable, but there
seems good reason to believe that an
effort will be made to make further
fight on the matter in the Circuit
Court. The Ha1lett property is con-
demned at the same price which the
railway company offered to pay for
the land some time ago, but Mr.. Hal
lett at that time claimed that he had
been offered 5000 for the land and he
demanded even a larger figure from
the company. It is also thought pos
sib1e that Mrs. Rosing will not be sat
isfied with the award made by the
commission, as she had demanded
81, 500 for her property and the COM
mission allowed but half this amount.
AS soon as these proceedings are
fully settled it is proba bic that the
company will be forced to bring new
proceedings to cover other lands not
mentioned in the origin al complaint.
TheIe is no doubt but that the mat
ter will be settled within few months
so that the company will be able to
complete the building of the spur track
during the summer months.
AS yet no notice of appeal from the
decision of the commissioners has
been made.

Captain Albert B. Capron, Formerly OF
This City, Dies at His Home in
Winnetka Wednesday.
DEATH OF BERNHARD sCHLADER.
Two Soldiers Well Known in Kenosha An
Their Country on Fields of Battle

A telegram was received in this city
Wednesday announcing the death of
Captain Albert B. Capron, former
well known resident of this city, which
occurred at his home in Winnetka We'd
nesday. Captain Capron had been i'll
for some time but his death came as
surprise to his many friends and re1a-
tives in Kenosha. The remains were
brought to this city Thursday after
noon on the 4:35 train and laid to rest
in the Capron family plat in the city
cemetery.
Captain Albert Capron was one of
the best known of the former residents
of Kenosha. By birth and ancestry
he was from a race of warriors and On
the field of battle and in the prisons of
the south he won renown and promo
ton, which made him one of the best
known survivors of the civil war in the
middle West.
When the war of the rebellion broke
out Captain Capron was not yet twenty
years of age, but he volunteered as
member of one of the Illinois regi-
ments and together with his father,
General Horace Capron, he served for
FIVE years in the Union army. He was
many times distinguished for bravery
in action and promotions came rapidly.
Taking part in many of the important
battles of the war his name was often
reported for brave conduct. During
the last years of the war he became
prisoner and was placed in Libby
prison, remaining at the old stockade
for many months and being released
in time to serve in the closing battles
of the war. He was mustered out as
captain, serving under his father.
Immediately after the war was over
Captain Capron came to Kenosha, and
engaged in business here for several
years. In the early seventies he left
Kenosha and went to Chicago, where
he became a member of the Chicago
Board of Trade. A short time later he
removed to a country residence at
Winnetka, where his death occurred
on Wednesday.
At the time of his demise Captain
Capron was sixty years of age. He is
survived by wife and three children.
The widow was formerly Miss Amelia
Doo1itt1e, Kenosha girl.
Answers Final Muster.
Death has again entered the ranks
of the old soldiers of Kenosha, and
Thursday Bernhard Sch1ader, one
of the survivors of the Civil war, ans
wered the final muster shortly after
S a. m. The deceased had been i'll
for some time, and his death was not
surprise to his friends and relatives.
Bernhard Sch1ader was one of the
pioneer settlers of the city. He was
born in Prussia nearly sixty-six years
ago, and came to this country shortly
before the breaking out of the Civil
war, When the call for volunteers
was issued Comrade Sch1ader enlisted
as member of company c, 9th Wis
consin volunteer infantry. With this
company he served for five years, be-
ing mustered out in 1866. During his
service he saw much of the great con-
fict, and brought home with him sew
era1 scars of battle. -.
