GOLF SEASON OPENED.
Many Country Club Players Assist in Open
ing the Golf Season.

ing the Golf Season.
Memorial day was the opening day
of the season at the Kenosha Country
Club and many of the members of the
Club gathered on the links during the
day to take part in the continuous
match played. There were some
twenty entries in the match, but the
scores will not be handed in until this
evening when the match closes.
In the continuous match many of the
players played as many as thirty-six
holes while some of the more enthusi-
astic golfers played seventy-two holes.
None of the records were of the record
breaking order and none of the cards
SO far handed in equa1led or exce1led
the record of SO made by Mr.. Yule in
the match with Milwaukee last Satur-
day. There were no events arranged
for the ladies but several of them
were on the links and impromptu
matches were arranged.
This afternoon he1adies and gentle
men of the Club are playing the first
of a series of mixed foursomes which
will continue for many weeks. The
entry list is good one and some good
golf is promised. The day at the Club
was very pleasant one from a social
standpoint, many of the members
taking dinner and supper at the Club
house.

THEIR FIRST DEFEAT.
Kenosha Athletics Lose to the Gunthers
After Hard Contest.

KenOsha Athletics Lose to the Gunthers
After Hard Contest.
The Kenosha Athletics met their
first defeat of the season at Grand
View Park Friday afternoon when an
error in the judgment of an umpire
allowed the Gunthers Of Chicago to
get two runs ard in this manner break
the winning streak of the victorious
KenoSha team.
The game was the first of the series
between the Chicago and Kenosha
teams and while the score of the game
was four to three in favor of the visit
ors the Kenosha team out played them
and should have won. In the third
inning with two men gone one Of the
visitors knocked foul down the third
base line and Umpire Dickhaut called
it fair ball. Two scores came in as
result of the error and the Kenosha
team was never able to secure the lead
again.
The game was close one but it was
fraught with errors on both sides.
Jacobson, who pitched for the Keno
sha team, was very effective at times,
striking out ten men. He allowed four
bases on balls, however, and this as
sisted the Gunthers in pulling out the
game. The Kenosha boys made a
hard effort to win out in the last half
of the ninth but they were only able
to make a single run and left the game
in the hands of the Gunthers.
From point of attendance the game
was one of the greatest games ever
played in Kenosha, the attendance be-
ing estimated at from twelve to fifteen
hundred people.

The Electrical Review fails to see
much, if anything, that Oxford uniyer-
sity in its present condition can do for
American students, and thinks that
about the only good results to come
from the Rhodes scholarships will be
to Oxford itself. "More and more, as
time goes on" says The Review, sit is
being realized that the engineer-th that
is, the man who does things, the man
who seizes and uses the powers Of ma
ture and who produces results-is the
leader of advancement and the mis-
sionary of civilization The student
as such, the Oxford don, the contem-
plative person, is becoming more and
more remote and being left farther
and farther behind in the swift ad
vance Of modern things. Today" it
continues, lit is doubtful if any young
man going to Oxford from the United
States would find the advantages he
leaves behind. Tomorrow it may be
that the influx of new students with
new ideas from newer countries may
cause a revolution in the methods OF
teaching and the methods of thought
of Oxford itself, and perhaps out of a
combination Of dignified tradition and
energetic, progressive vitality thus en-
gendered may come something better
than anything that has yet been seen
in educational institutions"

Simplicity OF the Metric System.
The opposition to the adoption Of the
metric system Of weights and meas
ures, a bill providing for which is now
pending in congress, comes from the
assumption that it would cause great
inconvenience to American trade and
commerce. The system seems to be
simple enough and ought within a
short time to be easily adjusted to our
conditions.
In the metric system, as most people
know, there is a single unit of weight,
one of capacity and one Of extension;
that the subdivisions are by ten and
indicated by the Latin prefxes deci,
cent? and MILL; that the multiples are
by ten, indicated by the Greek pre-
fixes deca, hectic and kilo What peo-
pie have to get used to in ordinary af-
fairs is these three units or some diyi-
sion or multiple nearest to the quantity
ir most common use, and they can in
stantly figure the divisions and multi
pies.
For instance, the kilogram is the
common quantity in weight, and it is
equal to about 2 Is pounds, exactly
2.2O46. 1t would not take long to get
used to this and to know that hectic
gram was little less than quarter Of
a pound, and it is only in a technical
way that the smaller and larger guam
titles would be much used, except the
miller or metric ton of a thousand
Kilograms, which is a little more than
our present ton.
A liter is a trife less than a dry
quart and trifie more than liquid
quart, and happily there is only one
liter. 1t is the same for beans as for
vinegar. How long would it take to
get used to the liter and to multiply by
ten for a decaliter and by 100 for a
hectoliter, which would be a little less
than three bushels and a little more
than twenty-six gallons? The latter is
a good enough barrel, and there would
not be different ones for potatoes, beer
and wine or milk.
The meter is equal to 1897 inches, or
little more than yard, and for short
lengths the decimeter is about four
inches. 1t would take very little time
to get used to these lengths and to di-
vide and multiply them by ten for 9th
er denominations or to learn that the
distance of a kilometer was about FIVE
eighths Of mile.
Thus it would seem that the adoption
OF this system, now in operation in
many of the commercial nations of the
world, ought not to cause us any spe-
cial inconvenience, while it would
greatly facilitate international com
merce.

Burglars Break Into the Store of Peter

Burglars Break Into the Store of Peter
EIsen on the North Side.
Burglars have begun their work in
Kenosha again and early Friday morn
ing they started the work Of stealing
from the City Council The store of
Alderman Peter Elsen, near the Gill
lett school on the North side, was the
first victim. In the cold gray dawn of
the early morning the burglars went to
the store and breaking the grating
from cellar window they made their
way into the cellar and from there to
the store above. The booty secured
was in no way commensurate for the
work. The cash drawer had been
emptied late in the afternoon and all
that remained was quantity of small
change and a few old coins which
were of little value. The burglars
seemed to be well acquainted with the
lay of the land and after the cash box
had been looted they tore open couple
of slot machines and secured few
nickels and large amount of pennies.
A few cigars completed the booty
secured in the raid.
The police have no clue to the per-
petrators of the crime but it is
thought to have been the work of local
parties and they are being closely
watched.

Artificial Ice.

Mineral Point is to have pure ice
next season. Mr.. f. G. Ludden has
closed contracts for complete ice
manufacturing plant of the latest
type. The plant will be ready for
business by the first of next March.
Artificial ice is made from distilled
water. The water is first converted
into steam, then condensed, filtered
twice, SKINNED, reboiled, cooled and
then frozen, insuring the purest,
clearest blocks of solid ice, each
block weighing 200 lbs. Artificial ice
will last from one third to one half
longer than common ice. No sawdust
is used to pack the ice as it is made
as needed, or packed in cold storage
rooms that are kept at low tempera-
ture.
The ice will be sold at the same
prices that have been paid for natural
ice. Mr.. Ludden has already secured
over two hundred customers, includ-
ing the meat markets, hotels, restaUr-
ants and private families. Az per-
sons wishing to take ice next season
should leave their orders with him as
soon as possible. lw
