THE JOLLY SIX DANCE.
Merry Romp of the Year Occurs Monday
Evening at Schlitz Hall

The annual merry romp of the Ke-
nosha boys and girls-The jolly Six
masquerade-was held Monday even
ing at Schlitz Hall on Mil waukee
avenue and the dance was by all
means the most successful ever given
by this famous club of entertainers.
The hall was all too small to hold the
large number Of guests that came
from all parts of Southern Wisconsin.
Before the dance started a band of
masqueraders paraded the streets dis
coursing sweet (?) music and Turing
the people to the hall. The costumes
displayed were of the most marvellous
sort and the prize winners would have
won prizes at French ball in Chi
cago. Dancing was the feature of the
evening, the music for the dance be-
ing furnished by the Stemm Brothers
orchestra. Dancing continued until
early morning and when the dance
broke up the hall was still crowded
and the dancers were shouting for
more music.
In all the dance was the most sue
cessfu1 ever given by the Jolly Six,
and that is an assurance that it was
the most successful event of the kind
ever given in Kenosha.

Enclosed find ticket
for diamond ring. My finances will
not permit me to get it, and rather you
would have it than these horrid Jews,
Hope you can make use of it.
A Grateful Friend.
The pawn ticket enclosed is appar-
emily one issued by the Central
Agency, Chicago Pawn Brokers, To-
Gated in the Baltimore building. 1t
purports to be good for a diamond
ring, which the holder of the ticket can
secure on the payment of twenty-one
dollars.
Of course the merchant is not think
ing of investing, but the matter has
been referred to the police, and they
will be urged to make the fullest inves-
tigation of the matter, and if the
scheme is crooked, bring the perpetra-
tors to justice.
It is high time that some one in Ke
nosha gave this crowd Of Chicago
sharpers turn down, so that in the
future Kenosha will not be considered
d legitimate ground for the workings
of the gang.

SHIELDS SECURES DAMAGES
Northwestern Railway Co. Pays Kenosha
County Farmer for Strange Blunder.

County Farmer for a Strange B1under.
A settlement has been reached in
the suit Of George Shields VS.. The Chi
cago and Northwestern Railway COM
pany, by which the suit will be with
drawn from the court and Mr.. Shields
will receive damages to the extent of
$123.75 ard the company will pay the
costs of the litigation in the case.
The case was a peculiar one. Mr..
Shields was in the habit of shipping
hay in car load lots, and some time
ago, when there was a scarcity of cars,
the company agreed to furnish Shields
a car which had been provided for an
other shipper by the name of Higgins
who resiced near Antioch, Ill. Hig-
gins hads been shipping marsh hay
which was of little value, and Shields
had been shipping the best of timothy
valued al S14 ton. In some manner
the cars were mixed and the hay sent
by Shields was delivered to the Gus
toner of Higgins. Of course the Gus
toner was tickled to death, but Shields
was not satisfied with the exchange
and he at once filed a claim against
the company for the full value of the
car of hay, The company at first de-
clined to pay the claim, but after a
second consideration Shields was paid
in full for his hay at the rate of $14 a
ton

Miss Eliza beth Prentice, of Wauke-
gan, a daughter of L. H. Prentice, the
Waukegan millionaire, we'll known in

few days ago she left her Waukegan

Kenosha society.
The romantic marriage of Miss
Prentice is the one topic of discussion

ANOTHER CLEVER GAME.
Pawn Ticket Sent to Kenosha With View
to Catching Unwary Citizens.

A sucker is born every minute, and
from the letters being received in Ke-
nosha it is evident that Chicago shar-
pers believe that the full quota OF
suckers due old Southport from the
earliest period of it's founding, are still
in existence. There have been all
sorts of games worked in the city,
from the time-worn greengoods game
to the clever magazine solicitor, who
takes your money and never sends the
m gazine, but the most clever scheme
devised by the sharpers 10 divorce the
patient Kenosha resident from his
hard-earned wealth, has just been
brought to light.
One of the leading merchants on
Main street was selected as the fish
wno was to pull under the cork and
sinker. Sunday when he opened his
mail he found very dainty little note
addressed in the fine handwriting of
Lady. The note was short and to the
point. It read as follows:

A SMALL BLAZE.
Explosion of a Lamp Causes Fire at the
Home of James Eddy on Garden st.

Explosion of a Lamp Causes Fire at the
Home of James Eddy on Garden st.
The explosion of a lamp at the home
of James Eddy on Garden street Sat
urday evening caused a small fire, and
had it not been for the prompt work of
Clarence Brady, a son of Mrs. Eddy,
the Eddy home would probably have
been destroyed. Miss Mamie Eddy
had carried lighted lamp to one of
the rooms on the second floor of the
house and tripping she dropped the
lamp to the floor. The lamp broke
with crash and In a minute the car
pet was a mass of flames. Young
Brady, hearing the shouts of his half
sister, rushed to the room and man
aged to extinguish the flames after the
broken lamp had been hurled from
window. The loss from the FIRE was
small and entirely covered by insur-
ance.

DOWIE LETS TULEY ALONE.
Throngs Gathered Sunday to Hear his
Expected Attack on Chicago Judge.

InrOngs GaGhered Sunday to Hear His
Expected Attack on Chicago Judge.
John Alexander Dowie's sermon dis
appointed large throng Sunday
which came to listen to an attack upon
Judge Tuley's decision. Many staunch
Zionites expected that the overseer
would make full statement regard
ing the financial affairs of Zion. In
anticipation of this 1000 residents of
Zion City went to Chicago to hear the
statement.
DoW1e, however, contented himself
with taking a turn at Judge Tuley's
theological ideas, defying anybody
and everybody who wanted to make
him break the laws of God, and an
nouncing that if anybody secured any
of lions money they would have 10
get it over his (Dowie's) dead body.
He said:
Il stand here to say that | object to
that dictum which says that religion is
the service of God, but business is the
service of Mammon, and tell you that
it IS lie, spoken by whom it may, for
Jesus Christ hath said: 'Ye cannot
serve God and Mammon.'
peter, the fisherman, was engaged
in business, attending the 6shmarket
of Capernaum; Paul, the tentmaker,
was serving God in his business;
Gaius, the innkeeper, was serving God
in his business. Even Joseph of Ari-
mathea, the counsellor and lawyer,
who buried TeSus in his own +oo,h
was serving God in his business"

DECREASE IN BICYCLE BUSINESS.

An interesting showing of the state
of the bicycle industry in the United
States was made by statistics present
ed at the recent annual meeting of the
Mia mi Cycle company. 1t seems that
while on Jan. /, 1900, there we're 288
factories in the United States EN-
ployed in the manufacture OF bicycles,
on Jan. 1, 1901, this number was re-
duced to sixty nine, and on Jan. 1, OF
this year, there were only twenty-four
bicycle factories in operation, de
crease of over go per cent in two years.

NOT THE MEN WANTED.
Men Who Enlisted in the Army at Chicago
Did Not Steal the Kirk Horse.

Did Not Steal the Kirk Horse.
Sheriff Charles Whitcher has recelv-
ed a letter from the officials of the
United States army in California
stating that the two men who recently
enlisted in Chicago, and who were
supposed to be the men wanted on the
charge of stealing a horse from the
Kirk farm in Pleasant Prairie, are
not the men wanted. Both men en-
listed under the name of Meyers, and
the complete description which has
been sent to the sheriff shows that
neither of the men answer the descrip-
tons of the men who are suspected of
being concerned in the robbery. Meth
err of the men who were under suspicion
have been seen in Kenosha since the
night the horse was stolen, and Kirk
seems to be certain of the identity of
one of the thieves.
With the receipt of this information
from the army officials, the local Of
fcia1s have again started to work to
locate the two missing men. The men
are supposed to be in hiding In Chi
cago.

pital at Dunning, ILL.,

time and few days ago his illness be-
came so severe that he was removed to
the hospital at Cunning. Mr.. Heyer
resided in Kenosha two years ago, and
was extensively engaged in practicing
law in the justice courts in the city.
He was leader in Democratic circles,
and at the last general election he was

GROUNDHOG SAW SHADOW.
He Came Out of His Hole Sunday, Took
Fright and Sneaked Back.

If the old tradition of the grounding
can be taken as an indication, there is
to be a severe spring. Sunday was
Cand1emas day, and when the groun-
hog came out of his hole and saw his
shadow he craw1ed back to take another
snooze of six weeks.
The day is considered to be the turn
ing point of the winter, and many peo-
pie, while perhaps not being super
stitious enough to.believe the ground
hog theory, are positive in stating that
the day is always IAN indication of the
nature of spring weather.
