KenOsha Chapter of the Danish Broth
erhoOd Celebrate the Twelfth
Anniversary Saturday.
COVERS LAID FOR 800 GUESTS
Rapid Growth of the Order in Ksnosha Is
Praised by the oftcials and Applauded
by the Members.-A Pleasant Event.

The Kenosha Chapter of the Danish
Brotherhood celebrated the twelfth an
niversary of it's founding last Satur-
day evening with banquet and dance
at the Meyers auditorium which was
one of the SWEETEST social events ever
given in Kenosha.
In honor of the visit of the Danes
the hall was most deliberately decor
ated. Danish and American flags
were hung from the ceiling and the
walls in great profusion and about the
sides of the big hall we're placed great
banks of palms and potted plants.
The hall never looked prettier. Three
long tables took up most of the availa-
Bile space in the hall and it is estimated
that fully three hundred people took
part in the celebration. The tables
were deliberately decorated in the colors
of the brotherhood while a wealth of
cut flowers completed the decorations.
The banquet was asseven course dim
ner fit for the palate of king. 1t was
served by the wives and sweethearts
of the members of the Brotherhood.
After dinner was over the chairs
were pushed back and the speech max
ing began. All the leading members
of the society were called upon to
make short talks and all praised the
splendid work now being done by the
Brotherhood for the Epeople of Keno
sha, President Henry Feldschau was
in charge of the tOaStS.
The Danish Brotherhood is now the
leading Danish Society in Kenosha
and numerically tits one of the strong
est benevolent organizations of the
city. 1t has over a hundred and sew
enty members and the names of the
leading Danish residents of the city
appear on the rolls Of the society. FL
nancially the society is on firm foun-
dation and while large numb ers of
benefits are distributed yearly the So
ciety always has a full membership
and a full treasury.
During the twelve years the Broth
erhood has been in existence in Keno
sha it has had a remarkable growth,
increasing from a membership OF
about twenty-five to a membership of
nearly two hundred. The Kenosha
chapter is regarded as one of the
strongest chapters in the State.

SUES FOR DIVORCE.
Gertrude Heath, of This City, Piles Suit
Asking for Divorce.

Gertrude Heath, of this city, has
6led in the Circuit Court a suit for
divorce from her husband, Eugene
Heath, whom she alleges is resident
of Orlean, New York. The divorce is
asked on the grounds of desertion
In her complaint Mrs. Heath rells a
peculiar story of unhappy married
life, which is characterized chiefly by
the fact that the married life was ex-
ceedingly short. According to the
application Mr.. and Mrs. Heath were
united in marriage at Austin, Pa, on
January 4, 1899. Both of them were
residents of Orleans, N. Y, and after
the wedding was over they remained
III Austin for the evening. During the
evening the husband disappeared, and
this was the last that his wife heard
of him until he turned up at the old
home in Orleans several months after
ward. In the meantime the wife,
broken hearted, returned 10 her home,
and later removed to this city where
she has been residing for the past year
and half.
The husband has never made any
explanation of his queer actions, and
the wife in her bill for divorce states
that she has always been willing to
discharge her duties as wife, but that
her husband wilful1y abandoned her
after few hours of married life, and
has never done anything to assist in
her support since the wedding day.
The Heath family is said to be one
of the best known in Southern New
York, and it is probable that the di-
vorce under these circumstances will
cause quite Juror in the home of her
husband.

MORE SMALLPOX CASES.
Two New Cases Were Reported 70 gsalth
Officer This Morning.

Two new cases of smallpox are re-
ported in Kenosha this morning. the
patients being A1phonse Zens, aged
four years, and Anna Gems, aged Is
years. Both reside at 3O1 Fremont
avenue. This makes four cases of the
disease that have been reported within
a week, or rather within three DAYS.
On account of this seemingly large
number of cases the doctors are re
porting, the Health Officer is talking Of
taking more stringent measures to
prevent contagion. Kenosha people
seem to care little for the coutagion,
and although patients have been quar-
antined outsiders have rushed into the
houses and in this manner the infec-
ton is being carried about the city and
other people are being placed IN dan
ger.
The city health officer states that
there is no doubt but that there are
several cases of smallpox in the city
which have not been reported to the
police or to the health department.. In
some cases the health officer claims
that these people are walking the
streets without any restraint what
ever. Under such circumstances il is
remarkable that more cases of the
disease have not been contracted. In
the future the police will be called npoa
and people of the city must keep away
from houses in which smallpox
patients are living. AS far as possible
the patients will be rem owed to the pest
house, but if this is impossible the
homes in which the patients are
quartered will have to be placed under
the watch of special police officers.
DR. Spaldiug reports this morning
that there are five cases of smallpox in
the city at the present time. One is
being cared for at the pest house.
while the remaining cases are scatter
ed in all parts of the city both North
and South.
There is no reason for the citizens
of the city to become frightened at
few cases of small pox but they snonld
use every care possible to prevent
their being uselessly exposed to the
disease. The Health Officer shonld
have the support of every resident in
the city il his efforts to prevent the
further spread of the disease.

KENosHA, WISCONSIN, MAY /, 1902.
PEANUTS IN WISCONSIN.
Southern wisconsin Soil Well Adopted For
Sweet Potatoes.

Expert nents being made in Wiscon-
sin to rsise peanuts and sweet pota-
toes are likely to prove successful,
says Prof. Henry, dean of the Wiscon-
sin Agricultural college. In EauC1aire
county number of farmers are ready
to plant forty acres in peanuts, and
the sweet potato planting, although it
is admitted experiments will be car
ried on in several counties.
The experiments are being watched
by farmers all through the State, and
the planting on a small scale will be
carried on at several places, although
it is admitted that certain lands only
where the soil is light and sandy, are
suitable for the peanut planting.
"There is no doubt but that peanuts
can be grown successfully in southern
Wisconsin, where the soil is light and
sandy says Prof. Henry. peanuts
as wellas sweet potatoes need light
soil, and an even climate, but while
the farmers of southern Wisconsin
might be'able to cultivate the peanut
plant successfully, doubt very much
If it would pay them to do so.
'The greater part of the peanut
crop is grown in Virginia and other
States along the Atlantic ocean.
There labor is cheap, and in conse-
quence the jobbers secure the crops at
very low figure, in fact much lower
than the northern farmer could af-
ford to sell. If the experiments now
being made in several parts of the
State in growing peanuts prove sue
cessful, their culture may be taken up
by specialist and truck farmer, but I
do not believe that the former can af-
ford to bother with them.
"The peanut when planted, germ
mates very quickly, and soon long
slender stalk pushes up from among
the leaves This is the flower stalk
and afteH the flower has faded the
long stalk turns earthward again and
buries it's tip in the earth. The pea.
nuts grow from this long stalk which
sprouts out, much in the same manner
as potato. The sweet potato can be
grown profitab1y in the southern part
of the State, from Mazomanie west tc

PREVENTION OF POTATO soAB.

Potato scab is due to the growth of
fungus upon the skin of the young
potato. Like ali of its kind, this
fungus is propagated by spores. The
spores may exist in the soil, or they
may be planted with the potatoes. Po-
tatoes are generally more or less in
tested with spores of the scab, even if
they are not visib1y affected with the
disease, and scabby potatoes are sure
to be infested with them.
Farmers are agreed that the use of
fresh stable manure favors scab. The
manure does not produce the scab, but
it favors the growth of it, in the same
way, perhaps, that it favors the growth
of weeds or of potatoes. The tops of
potatoes badly infested with scab are
sure to be infested with spores and
should be burned. If the manure, the
soil, and the seed potatoes were free
from spores of the scab fungus, there
could be no scab in the potato crop,
no matter how much stable manure
were used.
We have learned how to destroy the
scab spores on seed potatoes without
injuring the seed in any way. If seed
potatoes, treated according to the fol-
lowing formula, are planted upon new
land, or upon land that has not pro-
duced potatoes for several years, and
on which only we'll composted manure
is used, the crop should be practically
free from scao.
The formula for the treatment is as
follows:
Before cutting the seed potatoes,
soak them for an hour and half in
solution made by adding one pound of
formaldehyd to 80 gallons of water. A
limited quantity of seed potatoes may
be treated in an ordinary barrel, plac-
ing the 80 gallons of the solution in
this. A bushel or more of potatoes
may be put into gunny sack AMI
dropped into the solution. Farmers
who plant large acreage of potatoes
may do we'll to construct wood vat
holding one hundred gallons or more.
A number of bushels of seed potatoes
may be shove1ed into this at one time,
and scooped out with Slated potato
scoop.

WANTS TO BE A HOBO.
Police of the City are Asked to Search for
Frank DAILY, who Left Home.

The police of the city have been ask
ed to make an effort to locate Frank
Daily, the son of D. ]. Daily, of Chica-
go, who is thought to be in this neigh
borhood. Daily has been missing from
his home for the past two weeks, and
it is alleged that he had been forced to
leave home by two tramps with whom
he is still travelling. The boy was
traced as far as one of the lakes on the
edge of Kenosha county, but after this
point had been reached the officials
have been able to find no further trace
of him. tits alleged that Daily is a
boy of peculiar habits and that he pre-
ferred to leave his home and school in
order to go on the road as tramp.
For some time he has been threaten
ing to leave home and go out to live
the life of tramp and it is supposed
that he has carried out his threat
The Kenosia police are keeping a
sharp look out for the boy but as yet
no trace of him has been found.

Won FIRST GAME.
Kenosha Athletics Defeat Battery D of
Fl. Sheridan in the Opening
Game of the Year.
GREAT CROWD IN ATTENDANCE.
All the New Men Show UP Well In the Field
and at Bat and Kenosha Has Little
Trouble Winning the Game.

The base ball season of 1902 in Ke-
nosha was opened under suspicious
circumstances at the Grand View park
Sunday afternoon when the Kenosha
Athletics took the first game from the
Battery D team, of Fort Sheridan, by a
score of to 2.
Fully seven hundred people occupied
the grand stand and bleachers when
Fred Morehouse, the old Kenosha
player who oficiated as umpire, shouted
out the old familiar "play ball. All
the old time rooters were IN their
places and the side lines were even
filled up with the enthusiastic fans.
The crowd would have probably been
larger one had it not been for the
fact that the livery men increased the
price of transportation to the grounds
and many refused to pay the added
stipend and remained at home.
The Kenosha team certainly gave a
good account of itself at the open
ing game. Every man was in the
game at all stages and the FIT. Sheri-
dan team was just strong enough to
make the Kenosha players do their
best to win.
Jacobsen was in the box for Keno
sha and let the visitors down with two
hits and one of these was on the
scratch order. The Kenosha players
were strong at the bat and nearly
every man was able to hit the ball and
hit it hard, but the fe1ders, which the
FIT. Sheridan team had watching the
gardens, were entirely too strong for
many of the hits to get away. Hanks
led off in the batting with double and
single. Casey, the new second base.
man, made record as base stealer
and he promises to be one Of the idols
of the fans during the season. The
features of the game were catch on
third base by Hubbard Of drive and
the pitching of Jacobsen.
The score and summary follows:

ICE FIGHT PROBABLE.
Report Has 1t That the Kn1ckerbocker
Company Will Put Wagons in Kenosba.

Kenosha is threatened with an ice
war during the coming summer and it
is evident that the new wagons recent
ly placed on the streets by Alderman
O'Brien, who is handling the Powers
lake ice, have attracted the attention
of more pretentious Chicago COM
panies and it is the opinion of the AL
derman that the Chicago company
will in short time start lively COM
petition. In the past the trade
in ice has been largely divided be-
tween the Alderman and the Kenosha
Pure Ice Company, which has been
considered as friendly to the trust.
However, it is now reported that in
the near future there will be new ice
company in the city and new set of
wagons on the street. These wagons
will be used directly by the Knicker-
booker Ice Company, Of Chicago. The
Company has stored great mass Of
ice in Kenosha county this year and
there is little doubt but that they will
make an effort to secure control of the
Kenosha trade.
The fight promises to be an interest
ing one as both the Kenosha com
pany and the Alderman have worked
up a nice business and it is not prob
able that either of them will give up
this trade without fight for it.

sPALDINGS SUNDAY.
Athletics Will Meet Strong Chicago Team.
''Skel" Roach to Pitch

The second base ball game OF the
season will be played at Grand View
Park Sunday, May 4. The managers
of the Athletics have arranged to
br.ng the famous Spaldings to Keno
sha on that date and an excellent game
is assured. According to a clipping,
taken from the Record-Herala OF
April IA, the Spa1dings lost but one
game last season while Roach was
pitching. AS every one in Kenosha
knows that the Athletics defeated
the Spaldings the day Roach played
here last season, it is evident that Ke-
nosha can claim the honor. It win be-
remembered that the Athletics secured
seven runs. The game Sunday will
undoubtedly be pitchers battle, for
with Jacobsen and Breen for the To-
Gals, and Roach and Ransom for the
Spaldings, there will be little left for
the balance of the teams to do.

AN ARTISTIC TREAT.
Concert Given by Prof. Paulsen and His
Pupils Great Success.

The concert given Monday evening
at Sinnas4.s hall by Prof, P. M. Paul
sen and his pupils was one of the most
artistic musical treats ever given in
Kenosha. Every member of the con-
cert company seemed to be an artist
and the large crowd in attendance
gave all warm reception.
Mr.. Pau1sen has already gained high
place among the musicians of Kenosha
and the work at the concert Monday
evening only added to his 1aurels. The
work of Miss Ida Field as pianist at
tracted especial attention from the
large audience. The work of the pu-
pills of Mr.. Pau1sen was also good,
Misses Kraft and Bunbury deserving
special mention. The following pro-

OBITUARY.

Martha G. Munson was born at Paris
Hill, Oneida county, N. Y, Jan. S,
1919. In 1889 she removed to Salem,
Wisconsin, where she was married to
the late DR.. F. Paddock August 10,
1841. Fourteen children were born to
them, eight of whom are now living
After an illness of twelve weeks dura-
ton she died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. c. W. Reeve, in Aur-
ella, Iowa, April "a, 1902. Through
out the lights and shadows of her long
life she preserved strong hope, tread
ing in the path of duty with her eyes
turned toward the bright side and ever
ready to labor for the welfare and hap
piness of others. With heroic courage
she lived se1f-sacri6cing life for those
about her and was ever kind and low
ing mother. "To know her was to
love herr and those who knew her best
could best appreciate her worth.
The funeral services were held at the
old home, the residence of her son
A1va, where she had spent so many
years of her long life. The address
was delivered by the Rev. G. r. Mon.
tague, of the Salem M. E. church. The
music was rendered by the quartet of
the same church. The interment was
in the little cemetery adjoining the old
farm. The spirit had gone to the God
who gave it.
Thus another early settler of this
land of the Wisconsins has gone to
join that innumerab1e company in

KILLED AN EAGLE.
Former County Clerk Bull, of Racine,
Kills Large Bald Eagle

Probably the largest American bald
eagle ever seen in Wisconsin was
killed by Ex-County Clerk Charles
Bull, of Racine, late Monday after
noon on his farm near Gat1effe station
after fierce battle with the bird. Mr..
Bull was considerably injured in his
fight with the eagle. The only weapon
Mr.. Bull had with which to defend
himself was cane, but with this he
finally dealt the bird crushing blow
on the head and ended the struggle.
The eagle measures over sixty inches
from the tip of one wing to the tip of
the other. The bird is very heavy,
the feathers very fine, and is believed
to be about fifteen years old. Sunday
afternoon Mr.. Bull was strol1ing about
his farm and was attracted by the
futtering and the cries of an eagle,
which he saw crawling along the
ground.
No sooner had Mr.. Bull come near
the bird than he was attacked and a
fierce fight between man and bird fol-
lowed. The eagle had been winged by
some hunters gun and he was unable
to fly. Mr.. Bull finally proved the
victor and carried his trophy to the
house, where it has since been exam
ined by scores of people and pro-
nounced the largest ever seen in Wis.
consin. Bald eagles have not been
seen in this section for many years.
