The Elk social last evening not
only brought out the full membership
but an equal number OF invited friends
filling the large hall Good cheer pre-
vailed from beginning to end, while
refreshments We're supplied in liberal
quantities. both solids and in liquid
shape. A programme kept the large
company in splendid humor. There
was sufficient of the sublime to offset
the burlesque the latter consisting in
trying great many of the members
upon various charges. For instance.
w G.. White had to answer to the
charge of not engaging in the plumb
ing business. and not being able to
give n satisfactory explanation. was
fined for the offense Our district at
toruey was before the bar of Justice
to answer for the recent moral wave
and as he could not explain to the sat
isfaction of the court, contributed to
the refreshment fund. Then our may
or was up before His Honor" the ex-
allied ruler, where he was charged
with various crimes in connection with
the city government. or rather in curb
ing section of the city disposing OF
wet goods to aldermen. etc. He re-
fused to plead guilty to all the counts,
but the court overruled the plea and in
settlement no stuff checks were ac-
cepted. Judge Houx had to answer
to charges of paying too much atten.
tion to the young ladies'. to which he
plead guilty, and as he made nice lit
tie talk for himself the old gentleman
was let of with small fine, the costs
being remitted. There were many
others brought before the bar of jus
tice--and convicted. One queer thing
about the whole business was the easy
convictions. Not one escaped penal
ty. But its the way the Elks have of
doing business-that all are treated
alike and justice prevails. There were
a number of interesting musical Sc.
lections while Frank Moreland of Colo
RADIO Springs gave review of the
founding of the order along with his
tory down to the present time. The
evenings entertainment closed with
the Elk toast, which took place about
IL O'Clock.

Miss Lizzie Berns and William {. Hook
ing Married in Chicago Tues
day Evening.
SEND FOR PARENTAL BLESSING.
Young Lady Leaves Home to Attend a
Dance and Accompanies Lover to Chica-
go where wedding is Celebrated.

Miss Lizzie Berns, only daughter OF
ex-A1derman and Mrs. Joseph Berns,
and one of the best known young la
dies of the North side, and William f..
Hooking, an emp1oye OF the Simmons
factory, e1oped to Chicago Tuesday
and were quietly married at one of the
Catholic churches in that city. They
are now stopping at one of the leading
hotels of that city awaiting the par
entail blessing.
The little romantic marriage fol-
lowed the usual plan for Opponents.
Miss Berns left home Monday evening
with the intention of attending dane
ing party One of her girl friends had
been spending the afternoon with her
and when the two left the house the
friend asked that Miss Berns be per-
mitted to spend the evening with her.
Mrs. Berns said that she did not like to
have her daughter, stay away from
home, but finally consented to this ar
rangement. In the meantime Miss
Berns had managed to smuggle her
wedding dress and few other clothes
to the home Of her friend and early
Tuesday morning she met Mr.. Hook
ing and the two went to Chicago.
When a brother of Miss Berns called
at the home of her friend the young
man was informed that his sister was
still sleeping and when the young
woman failed to return in the after
noon nothing was thought of the mat
ter.
At z O'Clock Tuesday evening Mr..
and Mrs. Berns received special
delivery letter from their daughter
stating that she had been married to
Mr.. Hooking and that they would re-
main in Chicago for few days.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Berns were seen
today and they admitted that they had
been completely outwitted by the
Young couple. Mr.. Berns admitted
that he and his wife were not particu-
1arly in favor of the marriage of the
young people, but Mrs. Berns hurried
to state that the marriage was entirely
satisfactory but they would have pre-
ferred to have had home we'd
ding. The relatives of Mr.. Hooking
were in complete ignorance of the
marriage until this morning, when
they were informed of the wedding by
letter.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hooking are both
we'll known in Kenosha and they will
be given a hearty welcome when they
return home. The romantic manner
they chose for their wedding caused
quite a little surprise among their
friends but there will be hearty con-
gratulations when they return.

DANES HAVE A FROLIC.
Tenth Annual Dance of Danish Brother
hood Proves Great Success.

One of the biggest masquerade
events ever held in Kenosha was the
tenth annual masquerade dance of the
Danish Brotherhood which was held
Monday evening at the Meyers audi
torium. The hall, which is the largest
in the city, was given its christening
as a dance center and if the crowd that
attended the dance Monday night is
to be taken as a criterion the hall will
be a popular one for dances. It is es-
tinated that fully a thousand people
visited the hall during the evening and
took part in the jolly revelry of the
dancers. The Danes were out in force
and large delegations came from Ra-
cine and other surrounding cities to
represent the different Danish societies
in those towns.
Nearly every one was masked and
the array of costumes was a dazzling
one. A hundred dollars in cash prizes
was given away during the evening.
The tenth annual was the greatest
success ever achieved by any party
given by the Danish residents of the
city and the committee in charge of
the event are deserving of high praise.

New Sixth Ward School Is Named
1.-THE Weiskopf School, by the
Board of Education.
IN HONOR OF DR.. A. WEISKOPF
People of the Ward Preferred the Name to
That of Col. John G. McMvnn. Which
Had Been Suggested.

The new Sixth ward school building
will be known as "The Weiskopf
School," This decision was reached at
the meeting of the Board of Educa-
ton Tuesday evening and as soon as
the building is completed it will be
| formally christened under this name.
1t had been expected that the building
would be named for the late Col. John
G.. McMynn, a pioneer Kenosha edu-
Gator, but the name of Col. McMynn
was not mentioned in the report of the
committee. The committee had the
matter under consideration for two
months and the people of the ward
were asked to suggest a preference in
! the way of a name. They chose the
name adopted by the board.
The building is named Sin honor of
| the late DR.. Anton Weiskopf, who for
many years resided just across the
! street from the school. DR.. Weiskopf
was 4 pioneer resident 'of the North
| side and at the time of his death had
resided in Kenosha for more than half
T century. He held during his life d
great interest in the cause of education
i and was for several years a member of
the Board of Education. During the
: later years of his life he took great
interest in the old Sixth ward building
and was frequent visitor to the diff
ferent rooms of the school.
While many people in Kenosha
, would have been pleased to have the
school named for Col. McMynn as a
testimonial to his work for the schools
of the city, the name selectedgwil1 give
general satisfaction.
Little business of importance was
transacted at the meeting. The usual
number of bills were allowed and the
new building came in for large share
| Of discussion. Architect Chandler was
allowed the three per cent due him for
the plans and specifications of the
building. The committee on buildings
| and grounds was authorized to add a
west entrance to the basement of the
! building at a cost of seventy-fve dol
lars and to have the buildingSpiped for
gas at cost of about a hundred dol
lars. The building will also be fitted
with electric bells and a fire alarm
| system.
The old building will be disposed OF
as soon as possible and the committee
was authorized to advertise for bids
| for the sale of the, building, it to be re-
moved as soon as the present school
year is over.
The High School committeereported
that it had granted the scholars of the
Central building sthe right.to use the
corridors on the second floor for basket
ball and that the game was sbeing
played under the....direction of one of
! the instructors of the school.
In order to put all the schools in the
city on the same basis a drum was pur-
chased for the use of the'DDeming
school. After the usual number of
bills had been a1lowedQthe Board adj
| iourned.

soHM1rr FINISHES STRONG.
walters Far Behind at Close of the Three
Hundred Ball Pool Tournament

There is no danger of AL Walters,
the Michigan pool champion, taking
any of the laurels of Peter Schmitt,
the Wisconsin champion, for in their
match Tuesday night Schmitt again
showed that Walters was not in his
class. In the last nights play of the
800 ball tournament the KenosEa man
duplicated his work of the previous
evening and the final score of the
match was Schnitt, 303; Walters, 216.
Schmitt played brilliant game in
the last match and pocketed the entire
fifteen balls three times. This is the
fourth successive defeat that the Ke-
nosha PLAYER has administered to
Walters and it is evident that the
Michigan man is outclassed. The
game Tuesday evening was witnessed
by a large crowd of spectators who
round1y applauded the good plays of
the contestants.
The total score of the match follows:
Schmitt-152, IS. IS, 12 8. 4, IS, 4 u,
