Economy Arc Light and Supply Com
pany Of KenOsha Organized
by Chicago Capitalists.
TO OPPOSE KENOSHA GAS co.
Plans of the Company and Men Behind it
Not as Yet Made PubTic.-Will
be Made Soon.

1t is again reported that the Keno
sha Gas & Electric Company will have
opposition in Kenosha, and company
has recently been organized in Chica-
go which is planning to open a rival
plant in this city for the sale of every-
thing in the way of light and lighting
materials. The company which has
been fully organized is known as the
Economy Arc Light & Supply Com
pany of Kenosha, Wisconsin. The
men behind the company are not fully
ready to make public their plans, and
for this reason they are not known in,
Kenosha, 1t is known, however, that
a number of Kenosha men are stock
holders in the company and will be
membe of the board of directors.
The company has been organized by
Sherman Talcott Kimball, a Chicago
attorney who was at one time inter
ested in move to start new bank in
Kenosha. 1t is claimed that Lewis
Davis, who was also interested in the
bank movement is interested in the,
plans for the operation of a new light
ing company. There is certainly
field for some new company to work
in Kenosha in the field of lighting.
For some time here has been dis
satisfaction among the merchants in
regard to the rates charged by the
local company and many merchants
have taken the arc lamps from their
stores and replaced them either with
gas or gasoline lamps. These lamps
have not proved entirely satisfactory
on account of the fact that insurance
rates have been raised where gasoline
lamps have been put in.
If the new company is able to fur
nish either gas or electric light at
figures lower than it is being supplied
by the present Kenosha company the
business IN Kenosha should be large
one. More defnite information in re
gard to the proposed company will
probably bel given out within few
days when the men behind the deal
and the plans will be made public.
The Keuosha Gas & Electric Com
pany seems to have little fear of sue
cessful competition and the managers
look with little interest on the plans of
new company to enter the Kenosha
field.

WOODMEN MEMORIAL.

Esteemed Neighbors:-Head Consul
Northcott, IN circular of April 81,
urges all camps of the M. w. A to
properly observe Memorial day on
Sunday, June Is. Members are re-
quested to meet at their hall and
march in body to the cemetery, where
they shall decorate the graves of their
deceased brethren and render appro-
pirate exercises. The program shall
consist of prayer. addresses and mu-
sic, or such other outline as may be ar
ranged by the committee in charge.
The ffaternaI custom of honoring
the memory of the dead is mark of
high civilization It characterizes
only the noble qualities of human ma
ture. It's purpose is free from any
faint of .sel6shness and has its origin
alone IN a warm and friendly heart.
The outside world cannot understand
the workings of fraternity. To them
this inward love of man for man is a
deep mystery. To us it is a reality
that marks the sweetest attribute of
Our existence.
Memorial day brings forth the prin-
ciples of our order in light which can
scarcely fail to make a lasting impress
sion. The beautiful and appropriate
ceremony shall transcend from gener-,
alton to generation. It's perpetuation
means an upbuilding of society and
the betterment of the human race.
We, as members of this grand frater-
nifty, must exercise our powers that
the day may be properly observed.
In June, 1901, the Kenosha Woodmen
turned kout in goodly numbers to at
tend memorial services. Let us strive
this year to do even better in the mat
ter of attendance. With a member
ship of nearly three hundred our camps
should at least be able to send forth
representation equal to half that num-
Der. Every true Woodman will make
it point to be in line, and by SO do
ing show his love for our order and
respect for the departed neighbors.
BY virtue of the power vested in me
as camp consul, and in accordance
with the arrangements perfected by
our committee, hereby call upon ali
members of the NJ. w. A. in Kenosha
to assemble at the K. P. hall on Park
street at 9 a. m. sharp Sunday, June
IS, 1902. Neighbors are requested to
wear their badges reversed as for flu
neral ceremony. The program of ex-
ercises will be short and will be an
nounced later in the week. Members
of any camp outside of the city are
cordially invited to join in these SER
vices. Fraternal1y,
CONRAD SHEARER, v. C.

A YOUTHFUL OFFENDER.
John GreenwaId, Aged Ten Years, Arrested
on a Charge of Petit Larceny.

John Greenwald, Aged Ten Years, Arrested
on a Charge of Petit Larceny.
John Greenwald, ten years of age, is
a prisoner at the police court charged
with larceny. Last Saturday after
noon Goldstein, the junk dealer,
Caught young Greenwald in the act of
stealing some brass aud copper from
his place of business and at once the
boy was placed under arrest.
Greenwald, who is a precocious
child for his age, made no effort to
deny The crime and when he was taken
into the sweatbox at the police office
he admitted that he had a hand in the
robbery of Peter Elsen's store a week
ago. Greenwa1d claimed that he was
not the ring leader in the burglary but
that he had been on watch while the
crime was committed and that he had
shared in the profits of the raid.
Others who were implicated in the
robbery by the young boy refuse to
credit his story and place the blame
for the crime on Greenwa1d.
Several times in the past year Green
valid has been an object for the work
of the police. He seems to have a
habit of running away from home and
his parents seem to have no control
over the boy. He was brought before
Justice Stewart late this afternoon and
it is probable that he will be sent to
the reform school.

A CORRECTION.

In the issue of the EVENING News
of May 10Th, It was stated that the
right:of John C1ausen to act as Justice
of the town of Pleasant Prairie had
been questioned on account of the
fact thatsTown Clerk T. L. Carpenter
had failed TO file the proper papers
in the Circuit Court. This statement
was an error and an injustice to Mr..
Carpenter. The records of the court
show that Justice C1ausen was ap-
pointed Justice and that the clerk
had filed his bond within a few days
after disappointment had been made.
This statement is made in justice to
Mr.. Carpenter who was in no way in
error in the matter.

MAURER GOES TO MADISON.
KenOsha Teacher RecOnsiders His Decision
and Will Teach in Madison Schools.

KenOsha Teacher RecOnsiders His Decision
and VIII Teach in Madison Schools.
There be another vacancy in the list
of the teachers in the Kenosha High
school, as Prof. Robert A. Maurer this
morning announced that he had de
cided to accept the call to the schools
al Madison, where he has been elected
teacher of United States History.
Mr.. Maurer has been a great favorite
with the Kenosha school boys and
girls and all had hoped that he would
remain in the city. At the last meet
ing of the Teachers committee the
committee decided to increase the sal
airy of Mr.. Maurer in order to hold him
in Kenoslla, but the young teacher has
decided that the position at Madison
offers better chance for promotion in
his profession.
Mr.. Maurer will carry with him into
his new field the most kindly feelings
and best wishes from the teachers and
pupils of the Kenosha schools, AS
yet the Board has done nothing to
elect a successor to Mr.. Maurer, but
there are sufficient applications on
hand to make the task an easy one.

Clerk of the Modern Woodmen Dis
appears Mysterious!y From His
Home in BrassviIIe Friday.
RELATIVES FEAR FOUL PLAY
Left His Home Early Friday Evening to
Seen of Him by Relatives.

The little precinct of Brass Vile is
stirred with a sensation and this morn
ing Chief of Police Timme was asked
to make an effort to discover the
wherea bouts of Martin Berg, the
Brassvi11e grocer, who has been mys-
teriously missing from his home since
last Friday evening. The fact that
Berg is at present the clerk and col
lector of the large camp of Modern
Woodmen in this city has added zest
to the story of his disappearance, al
though none of the members of the
camp have accused him of any wrong
doing. Mrs. Berg and the three chill
dren are overcome with grief at the
strange disappearance of the husband
and father and they feel assured that
he has met with some foul play.
Berg was last seen last Friday even
ing just before nine O'Clock. He had
been in the grocery store most of the
day and after supper was over he left
the house and stated that he would go
to the barn and take care of the horse
for the night. After he left the house
the wife waited for his return, but he
failed to return. From what has been
learned by the officials it seems that
Berg went to the saloon Of Ado1ph
Groeger after leaving his home and
remained there until about nine O'Clock
when he started for home. He was
not in any way intoxicated and the
men who saw him at the saloon can
give no reason for his strange disap-
pearance. Mrs. Berg made no report
to the police when her husband failed
to return, but waited until Saturday
evening, and when the husband still
was missing she called upon her
friends to start search for him. This
search was continued until Sunday
evening, when Mrs. Berg overcome by
ance of the police.
Mrs. Berg seems to be convinced
that her husband has met with foul
play. When he left home he had
small sum of money-the receipts for
the day at the grocery--in his pocket,
but it is not thought that the amount
was large enough to support a theory
of foul play. Some of the friends of
Berg seem to think that it was posi-
BILE that the young man became de-
mented and wandered away.
Berg has been resident of Kenosha
for many years and he has clean rec
ord. He has been connected with sew
eral business houses in the city and all
give him an excellent recommendation
The officers of the Modern Woodnen
state to the best of their knowledge
the books Of the lodge are in perfect
condition and it is not thought that
Berg had any large amount Of the
funds of the order on hand at the tine
of his strange disappearance.
A meeting will be held this evening,
at which time an investigation of the
books and accounts of the missing
man will be made and full report of
his standing with the ofNer will be
given tomorrow.
The police are making every effort
to. locate Berg, but thus far their eff
forts have been of no avail.
