MONEY POURED IN.
The City Treasurer Takes in More Than
SIT. 900 During Last Day of Payment.

The City Treasurer did land Office
business at his Office in the First
National Bank Monday and on the last
day for the payment of taxes the
Treasurer reports the receipt Of more
than $17,555. The taxes simply poured
in and many of the people who had
waited for the last day were forced to
wait until late in the evening to reach
the desk of the Treasurer to make the
payments.
The largest check received during
the closing hours was $5,427, but some
of the bigger taxpayers have not as
yet settled with the Treasurer. The
Treasurer states that the amount of
taxes unpaid will not exceed $4,000,
while last year the unpaid tax was
over $4, 453. The total amount of taxes
collected this year amounts to $115, 900,
but little of this amount will be left
when the outstanding orders and regu-
lar demands upon the city treasury
have been met.

A MYSTERIOUS FIRE.
Porch at Residence of Mrs Hannah Hanks
Found Burning Early This Morning.

EOUA0r OuAAAA6 6@&4y @AAo @@V@@A0o'
Officer Mat. Moder, of the North
side, discovered a mysterious fire at 2
O'Clock this morning at the residence
of Mrs. Hannah E. Hanks, All Mil
waukee avenue. AS the officer was
passing the house he found that the
porch on one side of the house was
burning furiously. The flames had
not been communicated to the main
portion of the house and the officer
hurriedly aroused the people of the
house and managed to extinguish the
flames with few pals of water.
None of the occupants of the house
could account for the fire and it is
claimed by them that the fire was set
by some one having grudge against
them. The loss from the fire was
small, but had it not been for the
prompt arrival of the officer the entire
house would have been burned.
The house is owned by Mrs. Meyers,
who resides in the next house to the
south. The matter has been referred
to the police of the city and they are
making an effort to discover the cause
of the fire.

Julius Anderson and Miss May Garrett,
of Pleasant Prairie, Have Been
Gone For Two Weeks.
ARE THOUGHT TO HAVE ELoPED
Valentines Received From Small Town
in Michigan Indicate That the Young
People Have Been Married.

The town of Pleasant Prairie has a
little mystery of it's own for Julius
Anderson and Miss May Garrett, two
we'll known young people of the town,
have been. missing for the past two
weeks and while it is thought that
they have eloped no confirmation of
the story can be found. Miss Carrot
lived with her parents on the farm of
F. r. Snyder and had been keeping
com pany with Anderson for some time.
The mother of the young lady opposed
the marriage of Anderson and her
daughter and this fact was conveyed
to Anderson in no uncertain words.
Two weeks ago the two young peo-
pie disappeared. Nothing was said to
any of their friends and no one seems
to have seen the couple leave the town.
They did not board any of the trains,
but simple slipped out of the lives of
their friends leaving a vacancy which
has not been filled. Whittier or when
they went no one seems to know but 1t
is limited that the two young people
have long since been married and are
now residing in a little town IN Mich
igau where the wedding is supposed to
have taken place.
For the first day the parents of the
young woman thought little of the dis
appearance of the daughter, but when
it was found that Anderson was gone
a renewed interest was taken IN the
matter and since that time efforts have
been made to find the clipping pair.
The first word received from the
young couple is thought to have been
an attempt to announce the wedding
for when St. Valentines day came
round many of the friends of the
young couple received valentines post
marked from the Michigan town. The
valentines had been addressed In the
hand writing of the missing young
lady and it is thought that they are
sent out as announcements of the we'd
ding.
Since the valentine episode the par
ents of the young lady are making an
effort to find the young people but thus
far their efforts have been in vain.
Miss Carrot and Mr.. Anderson are well
and favorably known in Pleasant
Prairie anu they are assured a hearty
welcome should they return to the
town to live.

BLONDELLS MAKE A HIT.
Laughing Success. 1.-THE Katzenjammer
Kids, Produced at the opera House.

Laughing OuCC0SSS LIZ
Kids, Produced at the opera House
Edward and Libbie Blonde1l, with
"The Katzenjammer Kids" played at
the Rhode opera house Sunday evening
and as the Blonde11s are great favor
ties in Kenosha the S. r. 0. sign was
hung out early in the evening.
The. two stars were the great hit of
the evening and even if the funny
horse play of Edward Blondell is a
little old it caught the fancy of the
audience and it was in roar of laugh
ter whenever Blondel1 was on the stage.
Libbie Blonde1l is as clever as ever and
Der pose in the garden scene was one
of the great hits of the performance.
The company with the Blondells is
composed of number of clever vaude-
vile artists and there is not dull
number in the performance. The
Henniug trio, in their dancing special
ty, is worthy Of special note.

ORGANIZE A GUN CLUB.
sportsmen in Kenosha Organize and Will
Have Regular Shooting Contests.

The sportsmen of Kenosha held a
meeting Monday and organized the
Kenosha Gun Club. The club con-
sists of twenty of the leading sports
men in the city and the members have
planned to open a beautiful club room
at 200 Main street. The rooms are
now being fitted up and they will GER
tain1y be the SWEETEST rooms used by a
gun club IN Southern Wisconsin. The
memb ers have contributed deer heads,
canoes, odd weapons and all sorts of
trophies of the chase which will be
hung on the walls. The members of
the club will hold their first shoot on
Sunday afternoon, March 2, at Central
Park and it is probable that weekly
meeting will be held during the year.
The mem ers of the new club are all
good shots and the club will make a
strong opponent for a contest with
other clubs in this part of the State.
AS soon as possible the club will
purchase traps and other paraphernalia
and will lease ground of their own, on
which will be erected a shooting
lodge. The officers of the new club
are:
President-Charles Mau.
Vice President-Fred Palmgreen.
Secretary-M. Cheney.
Treasurer-John F. Schmitt.
e. H. Schultz, F. c. Feldschau and
Peter SteinbacE were elected trustees
of the new club

RETURN TO PRIMITIVE MEANS.
Two Men in Fierce Conflict Resort TO
Teeth as Weapons.

Two men, one from Chicago and the
other from Kenosha, engaged in a
fierce personal combat at the rear of
Main street saloon on Sunday after
noon, and as a result it is proba Bile
that the Chicago man will be arrested
on a charge of mayhem.
The Chicago fellow is alleged to be a
trouble maker, and when he met his
opponent in the saloon he became very
abusive. The Kenosha man urged him
to desist from the abuse, but he re-
fused, and was finally asked if he
wanted to fight. He opined that he
did, and the two doffing their coats re-
tired to the rear of the saloon and went
at it. The Kenosha man had the bet
ter of the contest from the start. The
other fellow was knocked down several
times, but he was not satisfied with
the punishment, and when he managed
to get on his feet again he rushed on
his opponent and bearing him to the
ground he planted his teeth in the
hands and ears of the latter. The
Kenosha man was badly muti1ated.
AS yet no warrants have been issued
for the arrest of either, but they will
probably follow.

Aroused at Midnight By Jokers.
There are lot of people who reside
on Market street who are searching for
a number of girls who for the past few
nights have made life miserable for
the people of this part of the city by
ringing door bells. The young women
walked the length of the street and be-
sieged one house IN each block, and
kept the bell jirgling until the occu-
pants of the house were aroused from
their beds and came to the door to adj
nit their supposed visitors. The last
house they struck was fat in which
six families were living, and every
bell in the fiat was set ringing and six
angry nightrobed women gathered II
the front room of the fiat building to
answer the door When the door was
opened the marauders fled down the
street and it was impossible to identify
them. The matter will be reported to
the police and an effort will be made
to have the young women arrested on
a charge of malicious mischief.

NOT A BID RECEIVED.
Work of CURLING Exchange Street Will
Probably be Delayed for Months.

Work of CURLING Exchange Street Will
Probably be Delayed for Months.
The street assessment committee of
the city council met at the city hall
Monday afternoon for the purpose of
opening the bids for the curbing of
Exchange street, and although the
members of the committee waited for
over an hour not single bid for the
work was presented. The job is one
worth more than a thousand dollars,
and yet it seems that the contractors
were not aware that the contract was
to be let. The notice that the bids
were to be opened Monday was pub
lished in the local weekly paper which
is designated as the official paper of
the city and it is supposed that the
contractors failed to see the notice.
Some of the contractors have sug
gested that it might be we'll to adver-
tise the city work in some daily paper
in this city, or else in some paper
which will fall into the hands of con-
tractors. It is probable that the work
of curbing the street will be DELAYED
for several months on account of the
fact that new bids will have to be ask
ed for.

FILES AN ANSWER.
City Attorney Files an Answer for City in
suit Brought by Samuel Gascoigne.

City Attorney John c. Slater this
morning filed an answer on the part OF
the City of Kenosha to the suit recent
II brought against the Reichert Con-
struction company and the city by
Samuel Gascoigne on account of in
iuries received by .Gascoigne by driv-
ing into a pile of brick alleged to have
heen left on Milwaukee avenue by the
sewer contractors. In his answer the
City Attorney admits that the city con-
tracted for the sewer, but beyond this
fact he enters general denial of the
entire liability of the city. AS yet the
complaint in the suit has not been
fled with the Clerk of the Court and it
is possible that the suit will not come
up at the coming March term of the
Circuit Court.

NEW ATHLETIC CLUB.

"The Physical Culture Club is the
latest addition to the clubs of Keno
sha. The club consists of a dozen we'll
known athletes of the city who have
opened a pleasant little club room on
the fourth floor Of the Meyers block.
The club is distinctly an athletic club
and all the members are able to handle
the foils little, to punch the bag and,
if necessity demands, to put on the
gloves and give some one pretty hard
run for fistic honors.
The members of the club meet at
convenient intervals and some very in
teresting exhibitions are held in which
the members take part.

Just as the scalp lock on the belt Of
