A RIRn,s -APPETITE.

People who are very dainty are some
times said to have only the appetite of
canary bird. But a scientific sceptic
recently resolved to find out just what
the appetite of a canary bird is. He
weighed canary and found 1t weighed
PAT grains, or something over half an
ounce. He also weighed all the food
and found that the bird eats 80 times
his weight every month or actually
more than his weight every day.

New River and HarbOr Bill Includes
but Five Thousand Dollars for
the kenosha Harbor.
WAUkEGAN IS HIGHLY FAVORED.
Neiehboring City viii Receive s345, 900 for
Work Demanded There Racine Gets
Little Solace From the Bill.

The River and Harbor bill has been
appropriation for the further improve
ment of the Kenosha harbor. Only
the regular appropriation of $4,000 for
the maintenance of the harbor rs
carried In the bill. Racine is also left
out of the list of the special appro-
priations, and the only city in the inn
mediate neighborhood that has any
cause for rejoicing is Waukegan, for
which city the bill provides an appro-
priation of $345 900.
From recent letters received from
Congressman Cooper it was thought
that the Kenosha and Racine appro-
priations we're certain, but the work of
the committee in making their report
shows that Kenosha was left out and
the only chance for the city to secure
an appropriation for further work on
the harbor during the present year is
to secure it through a special appropri-
alton bill. The Congressman from
the district had asked for $4,000 for
the two cities and the other members
of the committee had practically agreed
to give the amount, but when the total
of the appropriations was figured up
the amount became SO large that it
was necessary for the committee to
arrange for cut all along the line
and as result many of the smaller
appropriat were cut off and left
over for another year. 1t is probable
that the action of Capt. Warren in not
recommending anything for the Keno
sha harbor had considerable to do with
the work of the committee. The &C
tion of the committee will be disap-
pointn1ent to many people interested
in the shipping business Of Kenosha
and it is possible that the Congress
man from the district may be pre-
vailed upon to introduce bill for the
relief of the two cities.
The appropriations that have been
made for Wisconsin cities follow:
Ashland, $4,000; Green Bay, sos, 900;
Sturgeon Bay and Lake Michigan ship
canal aud Sturgeon Bay harbor Of ref
uge, $43, 600, and continuing contract,
$4,000; Sheboygan, 100000; Milwau-
kee harbor and harbor of refuge, $780,
600; Port Washington, $25, 1000.

WANT TO BURN PEST HoUs IS
Indignant Racine Citizens Take Up Arms
Against Health and Police officers.

A violent outbreak on the part OF
200 citizens of the Seventh ward OF
Racine, the spirit of which was suffi-
GENTLY heated to have brought per-
sonal encounters, was precipitated
Sunday night by the action Of Health
Officer Pope, Chief Of Police Pfster
and Mayor Higgins, when they under
took to convert the old Seventh ward
hall into a pesthouse.
This action on their part, it is said,
was taken secretly. The one occupant
Of the hall, an aged woman, was COM
PEELED to vacate the place today; beds
and stoves were put in and other ar
rangements made for the reception of
smallpox patient now confined in
st. Luke's hospital.
Before this action could be carried
out the news was spread hastily
through the thickly populated ward
and large body of men gathered de-
tsrnained to prevent it. The citizens
ere iil-iempered and angered over the
.aoye and openly swore that no small
tS1A PdtAOIl VOAAo w lOhOl4 AhNO IAS
place; that it should not be converted
into pesthouse even if it took force
to prevent the city officials from put
ting their plan into execution.
Mayor Higgins, Chief of Police
P6ster and DR.. Pope were called to the
hall and a mass meeting resulted. All
made speeches declaring tEey were JUS
tilted in taking such a course and
would brook no interference. The cit
liens took contrary stand; drew up
resolution addressed to the city council
stating their grievance and adding
that they would fight the action in the
courts.
After the meeting guard of citizens
was stationed about the hall along
with guard of policemen. They we're
instructed to prevent the city taking
any smallpox patients into the build
ing, and that in event this was accom-
plished to set fire to the structure. It
is not thought that the city will take
any further action in the matter.

A MYSTERIOUS ASSAULT.
Alex. Ritter Attempts to Enter Restau-
rars and is Roughly Handled.

Alexander Ritter, an employe of the
Meiselbach factory, was the victim of
a murderous assault Sunday night just
after seven O'clock. The assault oc-
Cured In an alley just back of the
Blue Front restaurant, and the man
assaulted is unable to give any des-
cription of his assailant or to assign
any reason for the trouble.
Ritter had gone to the restaurant
shortly after seven O'Clock to have
supper and while it was being prepared
he decided to walk about the block.
He walked about the block and to save
time intended entering the restaurant
from the rear door. He went down
an alley and as he walked TO the door
some one stepped from the shadow of
the building and struck him a vicious
blow in tfEs face. Ritter fell to the
ground in a dazed condition and his
assailant atsonce jumped on him and
kicked him several times. After this
pleasant operation was over the as
sailant took to his heels and when
Ritter came to he was still laying in
the alley with couple of ugly gashes
in his face.
He at once reported the matter to
the police bat he was not able to give
any description Of the man who
struck him and it is thought that the
man made mistake when he hit
Ritter. The police took in several
suspects Sunday night but none of
them were willing to admit that they
knew anything of the assault and all
were released
There is considerable mystery about
the assault, as Ritter claims that he
has no enemy who would attempt to
injure him in this manner, and on this
account the police can find no clue to
the guilty parties. No suspicious par
ties were seen around the restaurant
or in the alley during the evening and
it is supposed that the man followed
Ritter from the street to the alley and
concealed himself until the man
started to enter the restaurant.

kee, to Erect a Large Hotel on
Fremont Avenue.
kOTz PROPERTY is PURCHASED.
One of the Finest Building sites in the City
Secured by the Miller Brewing Com
pany of Milwaukee, for SIS, 800.

A deal was completed this morning
whereby the Miller Brewing company,
of Milwaukee. purchased the property
of H. B. Kotz, situated at the corner
of Fremont avenue and Elizabeth

have been seeking site in Kenosha
for the erection of large hotel and
beer depot, and this use will be made
OF the property recently purchased.
The company ate planning to put up a
large building for the accommodation
of the laboring men of the city, and
the hotel will probably be of nature
similar to the Brassvil1e House, the
Sch1itz Hotel and other houses OF this
character. Work will probably be
started on the new building early in
the spring and it will be completed by
the summer.
The Miller company are planning to
spend large amount of money in Ke-
nosha, and their new building will be
modern in every way. The deal made
today will probably affect other deals
that have been pending in the city.
For some time the Miller company
have leased the old Park City Hall,
but since that building was destroyed
by fire the company have been with
out central headquarters in Keno
sha. The company was also nego-
tiating for the purchase of land on
Main street but finally decided to ac-
cept piece of land closer to the fac
tory district. Little is known in Ke-
nosha of the plans Of the company,
but some announcement will be male
within few days.

HIS EIGHTY- EIGHTH BIRTHDAY
J. L. Stevens Celebrates A Notable Ami
versary at His Home Monday.

John Levant Stevens, the oldest of
the pioneer settlers of Kenosha coun-
ty, celebrated his eighty-eighth birth
day anniversary at his home in this
city Monday. The day was ftting1y
observed, and at noon a company COM
posed of the few remaining members
OF the original Kenosha colony, gath
cred round the table for their annual
dinner. Almost every member of the
party had resided in Kenosha for more
than sixty-6ve years, and the after
noon was spent in recalling the stir
ring times when Southport was found
ed.
The birthday of Mr.. Stevens is al
ways an event of interest to the pio-
neers and they look forward to it with
a keen interest.
In point of age and years of resi-
dence John L. Stevens is the oldest
resident of the county. He was born
at Chautauqua county, New York,
March 3rd, 1914. His father came to
Racine county in May, 1885, and in the
following December he returned to
New York and brought his family to
this county. The trip was made over
land in wagons. Many of the party
failed to complete the journey, stop
plug at the more densely populated
points of Illinois, but Mr.. Stevens and
family came on to Southport aud
became the founders of the town of
Pleasant Prairie.
In his early days Mr.. Stevens took
an active interest in the opening of
suen great cities as Chicago and St.
Louis, but after he returned to this
county he took farm in Pleas ant
Prairie and resided there for nearly
fifty years.
Mr.. Stevens was a blacksmith by
trade and he has the honor of being
the first manufacturer of breaking
p1ows in Wisconsin. The first plows
were made in 1886, and Mr.. Stevens
gained renown through their manu-
facture.
After he decided to give up his life
as a farmer he came to Kenosha and
was engaged in the merchanti1e BUSH
ness for several years from which he
retired few years ago. Mr.. Stevens
was one of the original Jacksonian
Democrats having cast his first vote
for General Jackson in 1912, but since
the formation of the Republican party
he has been one of its most active sup
porters in Southern Wisconsin.
Time has dealt gently with Mr..
Stevens, and although he is nearly
ninety years OF age he is still IL pos
session of all Ills faculties, and is able
to take an active interest in the affairs
of the city. He is seen on the streets
almost every. day in the year, and is
delightful companion to many of the
earlysettlers.
Incidental to this celebration it
might be stated that Mr.. Stevens has
been paid up subscriber to the Tele-
graph-Courier for sixty-three years.

ASKS AID OF PRINCE.
Mrs Mary Jane Carpenter writes to Prince
Henry of Her claim Against England.

Henry of Her Claim Against England.
Mrs. Mary Jane Carpenter, an old
lady residing Ia the town Of Pleasant
Prairie near this city, hopes to profit
by the visit of Prince Henry, of Prus-
STA, to Chicago, and she has sent to
the Prince through her attorneys in
this city letter which is at once as
quaint as it is iateresting. Mrs. Car
penser is the sole surviving heir of
Tim Carpenter, at one time wealthy
Englishman, and it is claimed the
estate Of Tim Carpenter is still held in
the courts of Chancery in England
awaiting proof of heirship. 1t is on
this question thatthe Pleasant Prairie
woman has addressed the Prince. In
her letter she states that she is aware
of the friendship that exists between
King Edward and Prince Henry, and
urges the Prince to intercede for her
before the King Of England, and make
some effort to secure an examination
into the claim of the Carpenter heirs
of which she is the last survivor.
The letter further states that during
the life of Queen Victoria the Queen
wrote to Mrs, Carpenter and promised
to have an immediate investigation
Of her claim, but before the claim was
ever investigated the Queen died and
the matter has never been taken up
since that time. The letter was written
by the old lady herself and is model
of letter writing. 1t is evident that
Mrs. Carpenter spent many days in
selecting the language which she
should use in her message to royalty
and the letter is filed with pompous
phrases. In concluding the letter the
writer urges the Prince to give the
matter his immediate attention.
The claim of Mrs. Carpenter is a
strange one. For the last twenty
years the Carpenter heirs have been
attempting to get some one to take up
the matter, but the attorneys in this
city who have examined the claim
state that there is no reason to suspect
that the English government would
ever paw any attention to the demands.
