KNIGHTS GIVE A DANCE.
Knights of Pythias Entertain at SWEETEST
Event of Season at Simmons Hall.

Knights of Pythias Entertain at SWEETEST
Event of Season at Simmons Hall.
BY far the SWEETEST social event of
the season in Kenosha was the dane
ing party given on Monday evening
by the members of the local lodge of
the Knights of Pythias. The party
was given at Simmons Hall and in
honor OF the event the hall was elabo-
rately decorated. American flags had
been hung about the hall until the
walls were completely hidden beneath
the stars and stripes. Palms aud cut
flowers were scattered all over the hall
in great profusion, changing the large
dancing floor into a perfect bower of
beauty. Over the stage had been
hung canopy of summer green's and
flowers and the stage beneath it was a
perfect bank of flowers and palms.
The balcony, which had been re-
served for the special use of the ladies,
was prettily decorated with plants and
flowers.
The music for the evening was fur
nished by an orchestra of twelve pieces
under the direction of Prof. Compton.
and it is seldom that such splendid rnn-
sic has been furnished for a Kenosha
party.
More than three hundred guests were
present at the party and took part i'm
the entertainment provided by the
knights and their friends. Ken osha
society was well represented and half
a hundred guests from surrounding
cities made the event a more pleasant
Que.
From eleven O'Clock refreshments
were served in the dining room of the
EichelmansH Hotel. This was the first
time that the new managers of the ho-
tel had served for a large party and
they certainly deserve great credit for
the manner in which the refreshm ents
were served. After the supper was
over the guests returned to the hall and
dancing continued until early in the
morning.
In all the dance was the most sue
cessful one ever given by any of the
Kenosha lodges and the knights have
established a high place for them
selves among the people of Kenosha
by the splendid entertainment fur
nished for their guests.

disappointment when | was looking
forward to rest and a visit with my
fellow missionaries in Kiungchow to
find the whole region around Lia-kha
in state of excitement about ghosts.
Nightly visits had been made by this
ghost, who raped on windows and
doors and climbed into the back yard,
and one night even entered the house
and pushed the house watch over.
This had been going on for eighteen
nights and the ghost had called at the
house sometimes as often as four times
in one night. Neighbors to the num-
ber of fifteen or twenty had been com,
ing to spend the nights here and
though they we're armed with guns,
spears, knives, sticks and torches, they
failed to catch the mischief maker. On
the night of my arrival stone throwing
began and on the second night stones
of such size were thrown on the tile
roof as to crush it. / then decided to
ride to Hoi-how and consult the
brethren. Mr.. Street came back with
me the same day and staid six days.
The stone throwing and door banging
continued in spite of the com bined
vigilance of all of us. The house is so
surrounded by bamboo thickets that it
was useless to hope to catch the So
called ghost. Our next move, after
thirty days, was to have enough bam-
boo hedge cut to surround the place
with wall of brush. This, with the
cold weather that had set il, dampened
the zeal of the ghost and now for four
nights we have been free. We are
quite certain that the attack has been
directed toward the christian house
watch by his heather cousin, for the
latter has been most active in circulat-
ing stories to the effect that the spirits
of ancestors were after my house watch
for neglecting to worship them. am
glad to say that many who at first were
inclined to believe the above story
have decided that ghost that can be
kept out by bamboo hedge and fears
cold weather resembles a live man
more than anything from the spirit
world.
Our patient forbearance mot calling
on the magistrate for sid) has enlisted
the sympathy of all the people too, so
hope that nothing but good will come
out of the last months experience.
l do not dare leave just yet, so will
spend the Chinese New Year holidays
at this out station.
The one bright spot in my return to
this place was my mail of eight weeks
accumulation. For the good letters
then received 1er me thank you all.
Sincerely,
KATE L. SCHAEFFER.

NO EFFECT I'm KENOsHA.

Loring & Company Failure In Milwaukee
Does not Effect Local Trading Circles.
The firm of Loring & Company, of
Milwaukee, prominent in the bucket
shop world, failed to open for business
Monday morning and it is claimed
that branch Office IN this city was af-
fected by the failure. AS there is but
one Office in kenosha in which trades
for the Board of Trade are made, it
seems that the statement is in error.
The manager of the Hadden-Rodee
company stated today that his COM
pany was in no way connected with
the Loring company and that they had
never furnished any reports in Keno
sha that he was aware of.
1t Is claimed, however, that the Lor-
ing company had "bucket shop"
connection in Racine and that several
people in Kenosha received telephone
quotations from the Racine branch.

Chance Aids the Republican Candidate
in Fourth Ward to a Seat on
the School Board.
CANVASS OF THE VOTES IS MADE
Many rors Are Made by Election officials
But Clerk is Ordered to Issue certifi-
Gates of Election of Candidates.

James Larsen will represent the
Fourth ward IN the School Board for
another two years, for at the meeting
of the City Council Monday night
chance aided the Republican candidate
to secure certificate of election. Lar
sen and Hiram III. Lane, the president
of the Y. M. C. A., had been tied by
the vote of the people of the ward and
they decided to settle the matter by
drawing lots. The two men argued
over the matter, one suggesting set
Element by game of bowls while an
other thought that the boxing gloves
would do just as we'll. Finally the two
aldermen of the ward were elected to
draw the lots and on the second draw
Alderman Head drew the winning
card.
By the election of Larsen the politi-
Cal complexion of the School Board is
considerably changed as the members
Of the two parties will be tied in that
body and it is possible that the Board
may be organized by the Republicans.
The canvass of the vote, which was
made at the meeting of the Council
Monday evening showed many irregu-
1arities, but all has been righted by
the action of the Council in ordering
the city clerk to issue certificates of
election to the men elected and the
matter is settled for all time.
In the first ward the return of the
election officials showed that Edward
Sullivan had been elected both to the
Office of school commissioner and con-
stable, but it was SO plain to the mem
bers of the Council that Michael Sulli-
van had been elected constable that
the city clerk was ordered to rectify
the clerical error.
The entire vote of the Sixth ward
might have been thrown out, as the
officials of the election failed to sign
the return to the Council. Nor was
this all, as the vote of the ward for
mayor showed that there had been
more votes cast for the two candidates
votes cast in the ward. This defect
was also righted for the Council de
cided to overlook the errors and let the
election stand uncontested. It should
be remarked that it was in the Sixth
ward that Democratic contest had
been talked of on the grounds that
every member of the election board
was Democrat. 1t might be well to
put Republican or two on the board
in the future.
The final canvass of the vote showed
that the city officers have been elected
by the following majorities:

HE PLEADS FOR CHINA
POINTS AGAINST EXCLUSION BILLS
Ex-Secretary of State Foster Says
Such Laws Violate Treaty
OBLIGATIONS.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Ex-Secretary of
State John W. Foster appeared before the
senate committee on immigration to-day
and spoke in opposition to the Chinese ex-
clusion bills which have been introduced
in congress. His remarks were directed
more particularly to the Mitchell or Pa
citic coast bill, which, he said, was q
plain violation of our treaty with China.
Mr.. Foster said that our government had
four times asked China to modify exist
ing treaties in the interest of American
citizens, and that in every instance China
had acceded to our request. He then sub
mitted for the consideration of the COM
mittee three propositions.
The first was that any law passed by the
present congress which continues the ex-
clusion Of Chinese laborers beyond 1904
would be not only without international
authority but would be In violation of
treaty stipulations. He insisted that
when the treaty of 1894 came to an end,
the Burlingame treaty of 1858 be revived
and come into force, which treaty stipu-
lated for the free and unrestricted emf
grafton of Chinese of all classes into the
United States.
His second proposition was that the ex-
clusion laws should not be made applic-
able to all our insular possessions. Mr..
Fosters third proposition was that the
existing exclusion laws and the legisla-
ton proposed are in clear disregard Of
treaty stipulations. He cited the provi-
sion of the treaty of 1894, which guaran-
teed to all Chinese in the United States
the most favored nation treatment, and
the provisions of treaties with other ma
lions guaranteeing to them the same
treatment as to the protection of their
persons and property as that enjoyed by
native citizens.

st. Thomas, Danish West Indies, Jan.
23.-With the departure of the Danish
representative of the National Tidende
Of Copenhagen, Herr Franz Won Jessen,
for the island of st. Croix, whence he
goes to New York on his way home, one
would have supposed that this community
would have settled down to it's normal
condition. But the leaven he has set is
still fermenting, and the feeling is as in
tense as ever with regard to the sale"
question. Had he interviewed those who
desire the transfer of the islands, people
would have been better satisfied, but 1t
was not until the last day of his stay IN
ST. Thomas that he invited some Of the
leading prosale natives to meet him at
p. m. Naturally, when they received the
invitation they declined, stating that as
he had called upon those who were against
the sale OF the islands, so should he have
called upon them. lessen has seen only

On the second inst. message was sent
by cable to the Danish ministry and rigs
dag, confirming their memorial to tho
king in 1900, and advising that unless
the American markets were secured by
the transfer of the islands the sugar in
dustry would suffer severely and would
have to cease in the near future, prices

tative inhabitants, among whom were

which the acreage represented has been
augmented to about 10000, or fully nine
tenths of the cultivated land Of st. Croix.

JOKE DEADLY
Robbers Killed After Compel

With Whisky.
He~ York Sxs, 8pscLal Service

Roswell, N. NJ, Jan. 23.--Three of a
gang Of bandits who held up the entire
town of Santa Rosa on Monday night were
killed yesterday by posse, which pur-
sued them to cover in a canyon where a
desperate battle was fought. The others
of the band escaped. The >hoId-up was
sensational in its details and the seven
masked men treated the whole affair as a
joke. They rode into town on horseback,
firing rifles in the air. All male citizens
were called from their homes and places
where they were compelled, at the points
of pistols and reyolvers, to deliver up
their money and jeWelry. .s....
With this business completed to their
satisfaction, the bandits became humor-
Gus, and suggested that they would like
to show their appreciation of the enter
tainment afforded them by the citizens.
One robber suggested that he was thirsty,
and this gave the gang an idea. The lined
up citizens were informed that they were
to have treat to show that no hard feel
ings remained and all we're Invited to the
nearest saloon. Guarded on each side by
several of the robbers, the male popula-
ton in single file entered the wet goods
establishment. Still under the spell Of
the guns, the men OIL Santa ItOsd AdCeu
the bar. Each was forced to take three
big drinks of whisky. a few protests
against acquiring such a quantity Of the
liquor being overruled by the masked
bandits.
The bandits. saying it was, on them and
not on the house, paid for the entire
treat, it requiring $120 to settle the bar
bill Remarkable to say, no attempt was
later made to relieve the barkeeper of
the money thus paid over. After settling
the bill the bandits applied spurs to their
horses and dashed out OF town. ~
A posse was organized instantly,
armed mounted and started in pursuit.
The trail was soon picked up and was
followed so closely that the maurauders
had no opportunity to scatter. They were
finally driven into a canyon and IN the
fight which followed three Of the robbers
were killed. The others escaped and have
not yet been captured.

Washingt on, Jan. 23.-Navy department
officials do not take an enthusiastic view
of the Marconi system of wireless tele-
raphy, especially as applied to naval
uses. There has been no certain method
by which 'interferences" can be obv1ated.
The operation of the communicating
waves does not limit the reception of
message to any particular apparatus,
and this destroys the secrecy of trans
mission, without which function wireless
telegraphy is, to that extent at least, Of
diminished value.
Besides, Marconi is not the only inven-
tor of a system of wireless telegraphy.
There are five or six other systems, and
some of them are as good as the Marconi
system if not better. It is for this rea-
son that the navy department, acting on
the advice of Rear Admiral R. B. Brad
ford, chief of the bureau Of equipment,
has not involved itself in any hopeless
tangle with the Marconi people. Better
rates on broader commercial lines are
Obtainable from other sources. When the
time comes for adopting a system 1t will
be found that the navy department has
selected that which is most serviceable
for naval and strategic purposes.
In addition to two experimental sta
lions established by Rear Admiral Brad
bureau of construct ion and repair. pro-
raph communication be fitted to all new
ships. The navy department is keeping
itself advised of what is being done in
Europe, where it is evident that Marconi
does not have the field exclusively to
himself
