The great falling off of the crops
last year was a remarkable one and in
some cases it will be noticed that the
crop as reported is less than one-ffth
of the average crop. The crops raised
in 1900 promise to be duplicated this
year.
The town of Wheat1and leads in the
production of wheat and rye; Paris
leads IN the production OF corn, oats
and flax seed; Somers leads in the pro-
duction of barley, potatoes, small
fruits and cultivated grasses; Brighton
leads in growing timber; Pleasant
Prairie leads in apple trees and in the
number of the mich cows.
The report for the present year is
one of the best sent out by the county
clerk in many years and it gives evil
dence Of bountifu1 crops and prosper
Gus days for the farmers of Kenosha
county during the coming year.

County Clerk Crosby Submits His Fig
ures on Crops in KenOsha County
For Two Years, l9Ol-l9O2.
CULTIVATED ACRES INCREASED.
Acres Given to the Production of Cereals
Largely in Access of Last Year.-Boun-
tiful Harvests Are Expected.

| County Clerk William Crosby, with
his usual promptness, today completed
his report to the Secretary of State on
the condition of growing crops in Ke-
nosha county as we'll as report of the
crops raised in the county during the
past year. The report is most inter
esting one for the consideration of the
farming population of the county ard
it shows that Kenosha county is rapid
~ returning to its pristine glory as an
agricultural county, while the other
interests, such as the raising of fruits
and the developments of the great
dairy interests, are not standing still.
Thesreport shows that much more
land is being cultivated during the
present year than in the year just past
and there has been a notable increase
in the acres devoted to the cultivation
of all farm products with the exception
of flax seed and cultivated grasses.
During the year some of the hay fields
have been converted into fields for the
raising of wheat, corn and oats. The
number of acres of timber lands has of
course been reduced as the land has
been cleared for cultivation.
An examination of the report of the
clerk shows that the acres in the
county under cultivation are as fol-
lows.

Ken0sha Woman and a Jefferson
vile, Ind, Woman Want Alexander
Joseph for a Husband.
JOSEPH has HIS TROUBLES ALSO
Besides Being Accused of Bigamy, He is
Forgery-He Favors Kenosha Woman.

Alexander Joseph is in jail at Nor
ris, ILL.,, on charge of bigamy, and
two women, one of whom was former
ly Miss Edna Wilson, of this city, and
the other Miss Laura Herrick, an ar.
fist in Chicago, are rival claimants for
the man as a husband. The Kerosha
girl at the present time seems to have
the inside track and Joseph has
come out with a statement in which he
declares that the Chicago artist is a
fraud and a blackmailer and that the
Kenosha girl is the only woman to
whom he was ever welded. The Chi
cago woman has not as yet been able
to produce her marriage certificate,
but she claims that she was married to
Joseph in Jacksonville, Indiana. Mrs.
Edna Wilson. Joseph has the better of
the argument, as she has evidence to
show that Joseph won her heart while
she was school girl in Kenosha and
that the two went to Hammond, Ind,
where they were united in marriage by
a Justice on June % of this year.
The charge of bigamy is the least of
the troubles of Joseph and he will
probably let the women fight it out, as
he is also charged with forgery and
embezzlement by Chicago publish
ing house with which he was formerly
connected.
The first meeting Of Joseph with
Miss Wilson was last winter in Keno
sha, where she was attending school.
The school girl was fascinated by his
ardent 1ove-making and an engage
ment followed. Joseph, it is said,
went to Morris about the middle of
June, where he learned that the par
ents of his intended bride were
wealthy. He urged an early marriage.
The girl assented and the marriage
was held June %.
The supposed wife No. l, when she
learned that she had been abandoned,
visited Morris and found Joseph on his
honeymoon with his new bride. She is
said to have threatened him with a re-
volver and would have shot him if she
had not been quickly disarmed.
1t is said that the exposure has
brought discord into the Wilson fam
lily, though wife No. 2 still protests
her faith in her husband.
II have never been married to Laura
Herrick," said Joseph, land can only
comprehend her action as the result of
attempted blackmail or jealousy. She
has been madly infatuated with me
and has given evidences before of her
jealousy when any intimation reached
her that might marry. It NAV be,
also, she seeks notoriety. I have
known her for some time. boarded

1866 GREETs 1902.

Former Mayor Dennis Hynes and Mayor
Chas. Ell Pfennig Have Conference.
There was quite an interesting little
conference held last night at the office
OF Mayor Charles Pfennig when Col.
Dennis Hynes of Chicago, who wa
mayor of Kenosha in 1866, walked into
the Office of the Mayor and saluted his
successor IN Office For an hour the
two talked Of the advancement Of Ke-
nosha IN the time which had passed
between the reign of Pfennig and
Hynes and Col. Hynes paid many a
glowing compliment to Kenosha and
its development in thirty EIGHT years.
When Col. Hynes was elected Mayor
of Kenosha just after the close of the
civil war the city had population of
less than four thousand, and in the
thirty years that have passed the pop
ulatiOn has increased three-fold. For
mer Mayor Hynes said that the city
was being run just as well as he ran 1t
years ago and that he could find no
fault with the administration of affairs
by the present executive.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

To the voters of Kenosha County,
My name having been mentioned as
candidate for Register of Deeds, /
hereby announce that shall stand for
the nomination at next Republican

myself for this office I earnestly solicit
the aid of my old political friends
throughout the county, and trust to
enlist the support of many with whom
! have not yet had the pleasure Of
forming acquaintance.
My claim for recognition before the
Convention shall stand on the merits
of my past record in private and po-
1itica1 life. In politics have always
supported the principles OF the Repub-
1ican party and used my best endeavors
to promote the same. Ny life has been
spent as a residentof Kenosha county,
mostly in the town of Somers.
My efforts in the present campaign
shall not be directed to influence voters
against any candidate for this office.
Such course would be dishonora BILE,
and when a candidate is unable to
stand on his own merits II. is useless
for him to attack his opponents.
If the Republicans Of Kenosha
county choose to honor me with the
nomination / shall be pleased to &C
cept; and will do all in my power to
bear the standard of our party to vic
tory next November.

A BUSY SUNDAY.
Police Are Kept Busy and Land Seven
Bad Actors in the County JAN.

Police Are Kept Busy and Land Seven
bad Actors'' in the County JAN.
Sunday was the busiest day that the
police of Kenosha have seen in many
a day and the blue coated officers we're
kept busy the greater part of the day
keeping order on the streets. The
gloomy day seems to have had it's
effect and the saloons did thriving
business.
Towards evening the crowds became
pretty noisy and seven arrests were
made. Five of the seven tenants of
the county jail were booked on the old
familiar charge of intoxication, while
the other two we're accused of fighting
on the streets. Ali appeared this
afternoon and settled with the JUS
tees. Out at Central park free for
all fight took place in which some ten
people had hand. No one was seri-
ously injured and the matter was
Gained down without any arrests be-
ing made.

nosha to Go to Topeka, Kansas.
P. J. Diehlman, for the past FIVE
years one of the managers of the Ke-
nosha Gas & Electric Company, has
resigned his position with the Keno
sha company and will leave about the
fifteenth of the month. He resigns
his position here in order to accept one
with the Gas company at Topeka,
Kansas, as secretary and general man
ager Of the company.
The new position which Mr.. Diehl-
man has accepted is much better one
than the one held in Kenosha, and he
will receive handsome increase in
salary in going to the Kansas COM
pany. During his stay in Kenosha
the retiring employe Of the Gas COM
pany has done much to advance the
interests of the company. He was a
favorite with the patrons and his place
will be hard one to fill. c. p. Den
nison, who has been in the employ of
the Gas company for some time, will
probably be selected as head book.

LOST ON AN ERROR.
Kenosha Athletics Defeated by the divers.
of Woodstock by Score of two to one.

Henosha Athletics Defeated by the divers,
The Kenosha Athletics were defeat
ed in game of base ball Saturday
afternoon by the Oliver Typewriter
Team, of Woodstock, ILL.,, after one of
the fastest contests in which a Keno
sha team ever took part Woodstock
IS represented on the map by a very
small dot, but in the world of semi
professional bail teams large star
would be necessary to designate the
position of the Woodstock base ball
team
The Oliver Typewriter Company
stands sponsor for the team and the
boys, who are mostly employed in the
factory of the company, are given two
hours every day to practice for the
game. Added to- this is the fact
that the Woodstock team is composed
of a very fast crowd of base ball play
ers. The game of Saturday was per-
feet one with the exception that
Stefan, Of the local team, made a
single error. This error made il pos
sible for the Woodstock team to score
the winning run.
Mike Birmingham, the Sacramento
player, made his first appearance with
the Athletics and covered first base in
an admirable manner. Burton, another
new man, also made a good showing
on third base, and King Lehr
pitched a game that would have won
in any other case except against Wood
stock. Beebe, who pitched for the
Woodstock team, was also effective
and kept the hits down to the mini
mum.
The Woodstock team gave him per-
feet support, playing an error1ess
game, and this fact was largely re-
sponsible for the victory over the
Athletics. The score of the game by
innings follows:
Woodstock. $3.50. OO010*-
Athletics......... 0 o 0 O 90 DOL

HOW 1T GROWS.
The Next Gathering of the Old Settlers tn
be Held on Thursday, August 2S.

The Next Gathering of the Old Settlers to
be Held on Thursday, August 28.
Out of gathering of about hum
dred members, and perhaps a hundred
guests, has grown the great gathering
which occurs on the Old Settlers
grounds at Paddocks Lake on the last
Thursday in August each year. Up
to 1892 there was no shelter more than
afforded by the grand old oaks which
adorn theIIpicnic park. For ten con-
secutive years We have had the shelter
of the pavilion, the very best building
OF its character in the entire State.
From the earliest days of the Old
Settlers club it has always invited the
people to attend. Fits annual reunion
and picnic and enjoy the event with
them. This practice has been kept IN
and the crowds have increased until
the numbers in attendance are I'D in
the thousands and more than thous-
and vehicles by count have been on the
grounds at once. The Old Settlers
picnic has now become the great gem
eral gathering of the people of Keno
sha county and adjoining counties.
Another acre of land has been
bought and added to the picnic park,
so there is plenty of room for the
crowd to grow. The people come be-
cause they kare' welcome to ali the
pleasures and zen joyments of the event
and because it is lovely spot at which
to enjoy happy days outing. The
entire progra m, music, singing. speak
ing, is free to all, and the Old Settlers
are happy in sharing them with their
guests.
The next gathering will occur on
Thursday, August %. The latch
string hangs outside. All we have we
share with you. Come and enjoy the
day. Come in the morning, bring
your knitting and stay all day.

WORK Is STARTED.
Workmen Begin the Work of Tearing the
old Main Street Bridge Away.

old Main Street Bridge Away.
There Is now hope that the Kenosha
Electric railway will be completed and
in operation in the near future, as
workn1en began work this morning to
tear away the old Main street bridge
and make preparations for the setting
of the new bridge, which is now ready
| for shipment.
The old bridge will probably be torn
down within the next few days. The
contract for the work has been let to
P. w. Galloway and a large force of
men started the work this morning
All the old underground work of the
bridge in the center of the channel,
with the exception of the center pier,
will be torn down and new work will
be set fasthe new bridge.
The workmen stated this morning
that the new bridge was now comp1et-
ed and that it was ready to be shipped
to Kenosha for setting as soon as the
old structure had been moved to its
! new resting place on Middle street. In
order to accommodate the people of
| the North side the railway aofficials
| have arranged for the construction of
a foot bridge across the river to be
used during the work of building the
new structure.
| This foot bridge will be built on the
west side of the present structure,
and will be five feet in width. 1t will
| ha nrnNfnd ~ . h%sd
not to cause any stoppage of naviga-
ton during the work of putting in the
new bridge. This bridge will not be
fit for the use of teams and it will be
necessary for the teamsters to use the
Grand avenue bridge during the time
the old one is being removed.
The work of removing the old
bridge and setting up the new one will
probably require many weeks. The
stone work will not take more than a
month but the contractors figure that
fully six weeks will be needed to set
the iron work sof the new structure
The manner of removing the old
bridge has not as yet been decided
upon but it is probabl that it. will be
hoated to its new location on series
of barges.
With the starting Of work on the
bridge the work of completing the
tracks of the railway will also be
started and it is possible that the cars
may yet be in operation during the
present year. There has been no move
on the part of the people Of the city to
put any obstacles in the way of Mr..
Arnold and his company and it is not
thought that any such move will be
made. The street assessment COM
mittee are planning for the paving of
North Main street and it is probable
that this work will be ready by the
time the bridge is completed. The
council will receive bids for the work
in another month.

Annual Picnic Sunday.

Danish brotherhood Members Hold Their
Annual Picnic Sunday.
Notwithstanding rainy Sunday
and all other handicaps that could be
arranged by the weather man, the al
nual picnicaof the Danish Brotherhood
which was given at Central Park Sun
day, was one OF the biggest things of
the kind ever held in the Park. Dur
ing the morning and afternoon the
crowds we're not as large as had been
expected, but when the sky cleared off
IN the evening the Park was simply
thronged with people.
They came from Kenosha and Ra-
cine and all the points along the cleo
trio line. Abundant entertainment
was furnished the visitors and all
present had a splendid time. 1t is es-
timated that crowd of three to five
thousand people attended the picnic
Sunday evening.
The Brotherhood added five hundred
dollars to their treasury as result OF
the picnic.

Henry White, Well Known in Kenosha
Found Dead in Bed at the Home
of His Brother.
HAD BEEN DEAD FOR MANY HOURS
COroners Jury Find That the Man Came to
His Death as Result of an Attack of
Heart Disease.

Henry White, aged ffty-two years,
and a we'll known man about town,
was found dead in his bed at the home
of his brother, Jerome White, on Park
street, shortly before six last Saturday
afternoon. He had been dead for
many hours when his body was found
and it is probable that he died either
Friday afternoon or during the night.
He had been employed as a janitor
by several Main street business houses
and to some of his friends he had con-
fided the fact that he was tired of life
and that he had bottle of medicine at
his home which would put him out of
his misery. He went to the home of
his brother about two O'Clock Friday
afternoon and without making any
announcement of his plans for the
night he went to his room and going
in locked the door.
This was the last seen of him until
the body was found by Chief of Police
Timme. Early Saturday morning Mrs.
White walked past the door and find
ing it locked she made no effort to
waken the sleeper. In the afternoon
some of his employers we're seeking
him and Mrs. White again went to the
door and when Mr.. White returned
little later she asked him to call his
brother.
Mr.. White finding the door locked at
once suspected that all was not right
and Chief of Police Timme went to
the house to make an investigation.
The door was broken in and the life
less body of White found lying on the
bed Death had come without strug-
gle and the man seemed to be sleeping
peacefully. When the officer attempt
ed to waken him he found that he was
stiff and cold.
The remains were taken to the Han
sen morgue and prepared for burial.
At first it was supposed that the dead
man had been the victim of heart dis
ease, but Sunday morning Jerome
White while looking through the room
found the bottle OF poison, portion
of which was missing, and this at
once gave clue to sthe manner Of the
death of White.
Henry White was fifty-two years of
age and a member of one of the oldest
families in Kenosha. He was son of
Joseph White, one of the pioneer set
tiers of the city, and he was born in
Kenosha in 1848. His entire life had
been spent in this city. He is survived
by three brothers, Jerome, Jay and
Judd White, all residents of this city.
The funeral was held this afternoon
and the remains we're inferred in the
White family plat in the city GENE
terry.
Later:-The coroner's inquest, which
was held this afternoon at the Office
Of Justice G. B. McCarron resulted in
the jury returning verdict that the
deceased came to his death from an at
tack of heart disease, caused by in
activity of the kidneys.
