TO APPROPRIATE $4,000.
Committee on Rivers and Harbors orders
an Appropriation for Kenosha.

A telegram from Washington states
that the committee on Rivers and Har-
bors has announced that it will report
favorab1y for the appropriation of $751;
900 for surveys and further work to be
done on the harbors at Kenosha and
Racine. The appropriation VIZ prob
ably be made part of the River and
Harbor bill, which will be passed dur
ing this session of Congress. The
money will be available at once so
that the surveys can be made during
the present year, and the work started
late in the fall. It is thought that the
seventy-fve thousand dollars will be
funds sufficient to provide for all the
work needed IN connection with the
harbors at the two cities.
All that is needed is an extension of
the breakwaters, and it is thought that
little preliminary work will be requir-
ed. The committee has also reported
in favor of creating new light station
and fog signal on the Racine reef.

OBITUARY.

Died, at his home in Faribault,
Mum, January Doth, Andrew Thomp-
son, aged 90 years. Mr.. Thompson
spent his early life in Salem, removing
to Minnesota about thirtyfve years
ago, where he engaged IN farming,
passing through the struggles and
hardships of a new country, but i'll
health compelled him to give up active
duties and he removed to Faribault,
where he has since resided. He has
suffered for years from bronchial at
lection, so that when he was attacked
by that dread disease, pneumonia, it
resisted all the efforts of his physician.
Mr. Thompson possessed a jovial,
cheerful disposition, that combined to
secure him large circle of friends, by
whom he will be greatly missed. He
leaves wife, nee Miss Maria Clark,
formerly of Kenosha, three sons and
two daughters, besides a brother, Lee
Thompson, and sister, Mrs. Harriet
Turner, to mourn his loss.

SOME INTERESTING DOCUMENTS
Original Land Grants For the Holt Farms
Filed For Record.

Two interesting documents were
filed for record with the register of
deeds Friday afternoon when c. D.
Holt, of Pleasant Prairie, filed the
original grants by which his father,
Laurin Carlos Holt, received the large
farm in the town of Pleasant Prairie
from the United States government.
The documents which bear the date of
1910 had never been recorded and were
recently found at the home of Mr..
Holt's sister in Mississippi. The
grants are of most interesting ma
ture showing that at the time they
were made Wisconsin was a territory
and Kenosha county was part of Ra-
cine county. The grants are signed
by Martin Van Buren,, then president
of the United States.
The fling of these grants has
brought out an interesting fact in re-
gard to the increase in the value of
Kenosha county real estate. At the
time of the purchase of the land from
the government, the elder Holt paid
for it at the rate of ten shi1lings an
acre or three hundred dollars for the
24O acres. AT the present time it is es-
timated that the land is worth more
than twenty thousand dollars, or more
than seventy times the original value
of the land.

Well Known Young Lady Was United
in Marriage to George D. Black

Few Relatives and Friends.

The wedding of Miss Caro1yne M.
Russell, a granddaughter of Mrs.
Thomas English, and Mr.. George u.
B1ackman, youngest son of the late
Horace Blackman, took place Wednes-
day afternoon, February 5th, 1902,
at two O'Clock, at the residence
of the bride, 452 Congress street.
The wedding ceremony was performed
by the Rev. John English, of Omaha,
an uncle of the bride, in very i'm
pressive manner.
The wedding was one of the pretti-
est and simplest home affairs ever held
in Kenosha. In honor of the event the
home had been beautifully decorated
with white carnations and ferns and
half a hundred relatives and intimate
friends of the contracting parties were
present when Father English read the
solemn words of the wedding contract.
Just before the hour of the wedding
tie wedding march was played by Mrs.
John G.. Hoye, of Chicago, and the
bride and groom entered the par1or un-
attended. At the center of the room
they were met by Father English.
Miss Russell wore a pretty travelling
dress of blue broad cloth richly orna-
mented with velvet. She carried a
shower of brides roses.
AS soon as the wedding ceremony
was over the guests retired to the din
ing room, where the wedding dinner
was served. Miss Gertrude Meyers
presided at the table, which was beau
tifu1ly decorated in white and pink
earn atoms and maiden hair ferns.
After the dinner was over Mr.. and
Mrs. Blackman held a short informal
reception at which they received the
happiest congratulations from their
friends. They left Wednesday even
ing, February 5th, 1902, for a
short honeymoon in the South.
They will return to Kenosha to make
their home and will be at home to their
friends at 452 Congress street after
March the first.
On account of the prominence of the
parties the wedding was one of the
social events of The winter season IN
Kenosha. Miss Russell is one of the
best known young ladies in the city.
She is graduate of the Ken osha High
school and for several years has served
as assistant librarian of the Gilbert M.
Simmons library. Mr.. B1ackman is
one of the leading employees Of the
Badger Brass company.

FRIED ONIONS GALORE.
Fire Destroys Big Onion warehouse at
Berryville Friday Afternoon.

Hansche Bros, residing near Berry
vile, sustained bad loss by fire about
1890 O'Clock. Friday, their storehouse
being entirely wiped out, together with
four hundred bushels of onions and
many baskets.
The burned building was a two-story
frame structure, about 40x50 and used
almost exclusively for the storage of
onions. When discovered the saving
of the building was out of the ques-
ton. There were 1000 bushels of
Onions in the place, and by hard work
on the part of Mr.. Hansche and his
friends about 600 bushels were taken
out.
The buildings burned were valued at
about So, 500, and the onions lost worth
81 so per bushe1. All told the loss will
be about So, 500.
Large crowds assembled about the
FIRE, but after the onions were saved
could do nothing but watch it burn.
The cause of the fire is unknown but
is believed to have been the work of
tramps. The warehouse is large two
story building owned by the three
brothers, Fred W., w. J. and E. r.
Hansche, we'll known market gardeners
who cultivate large tracts of land be-
tween Berryvi1le and Kenosha.
The building was insured and will
be rebuilt as soon as possible. The
strong breeze which famed the flames
carried large sparks from the fire to
surrounding buildings and it was with
great difficulty that the fire was con-
fined to the ware house.

HITCH IN PAVING.
Reported That Opposition Has Arisen to
Improvement of North Main Street.


It is reported that decided opposi-
ton has arisen against the paving of
North Main street. A short time ago
the Kenosha Street Railway co1npany
was asked to build it's second track on
the street at once, but they have not
deigned to make an answer to this re-
quest. On this account some of the
property owners are of the opinion that
the expense of the paving will fall too
heavily on the owners on the west side
of the street and they are planning to
file protest. 1t is said that one of
these property owners has employed
Attorney Quar1es, of Milwaukee, to as
sist him in fighting the paving.
1t is greatly to be desired that this
portion of the streets of the city be
paved, as it would furnish a paved
street leading from the north to the
south limits of the city.

THE Rural Free Delivery system is
growing in popularity with the farm
ers all over the country, and the only
earnest cbjectors to its further extern
sion appear torbe the proprietors of the
crossroads stores and the postmasters
of the offices which will be abolished by
its introduction. The merchants who
own the general stores in the districts
where the Freeg Delivery system is in
operation complain that their sales
have fallen off greatly since its intro
duction, as the farmers, being 10 lon
ger obliged to come to the village
daily for their mail, do not buy their
supplies in small lots as formerly, but
purchase larger quantities at one time
at wholesale prices. The mail order
business houses of the larger cities
also note an increase in sales in the
districts where the free delivery sys-
tenn is established.
Every Congressman whose COnSt1t-
uen is are farmers has been receiving
petitions from all over his district
asking for the establishment of free
delivery routes, ard the postal depart
ment is preparing to extend the sys-
tenn as rapidly as possible.
It is not proba bic that the revenues
of the postal department will be great
ly increased by the change for
some years to come, and the
cost of establishing and maintain
ing these routes will uecessi-
tate larger annual appropriation for
the expenses of the department but ii
will bedmoney we'll spent. Since the
great Increase in the general prosper
ity of the country the revenues of the
postal department have NEARLY equal
led the expenditures and a reduction
of the rate of postage to one cent was
considered feasible but the establish
ment of rural free delivery routes and
other improvements planned for the
service will make it impracticable to
reduce the rate now. However the re-
duction of the rate to one cent would
make little difference in individual ex
penses in the course of the year.
The difference between the present
rate and penny postage, which in the
aggregate totals an enormous sum of
money, is, in individual cases, SO small
as to be almost unnoticed and the in
creased facilities will more than COM
pensate for the s1ie hit additional outlay
caused by the retention Of the present
rate. The farmers pay as much for
the support of the department as any
one class of citizens and should have
all the benefits which increased facili
ties can give them. They are as much
entitled to free delivery as the jewellers
in the city and if they want rural free
delivery the routes should be laid out
and put IN operation as speedily as
possible wherever practicable.

Terrible Accident.

Last Friday morning about II:3c
O'Clock, our people were shocked al
the report that F. M. Rosenberg
had fallen from the water-tank tower
and was badly injured. He was ta-
ken across the street to DR.. Leslie's
office in an unconscious condition,
and everything was done to revive
him but to no avail. He died from
the effects of the fall about two hours
afterwards, never regaining full con-
scionsness. The patlculars of the
sad accident are that Marion in COM
pany with Dave Williams were put
ting down the timbers for the bot
tom of the tank when Marion was at
the edge on the south east corner
and reached over the side to pull out
a nail. AS he jerked it out he lost
his balance and went over the edge
falling to the ground distance of
over 40 feet, striking on his shoul-
der and back. 1t is thought by the
physicians that he died from inter
nal injuries.
Everyone in Meade regrets the
terrible manner in which Mr.. Ro-
senberry met his death.
The funeral services were held at
the Methodist church Saturday
morning, conducted by Rev Reace.
The Modern Woodman of America
of which he was a member took
charge of the remains after the
church services and inferred them
according to the Woodman ritual.
This is the first death the Woodman
camp at this place have ever had
among its members. The deceased
leaves one little boy, Linus, about 9
years old, for whom he carried
81, 900 insurance in the above order.
Frances Marion Rosenberg was
born near Point Pleasant, West Vir-
ginia, February 6, 1869; making
him few months past 80 at the
time of his death. He moved from
there to Randolph county, Indiana,
in 1876, and from there to Jay coun-
ty, Indiana, in 1883. In 1884 he
moved with his parents to Anthony,
Harper county, Kansas, and the
next year moved to this county
where he has since resided. Mr..
Rosenberg was a good citizen and
highly respected by all his acquaint-
ances. He was married in 1892 to
Irene Eastman who died in 1894
He leaves one small child, moth
er, one sister and two brothers tc
mourn his untimely end.
