LUMBER IS HIGHER.
Market on White Pine in an Al
vancing Position.
FINISH LUMBER VERY STRONG
April Shipments Were Not Quite Up
to Last Year-The CoOperage
Market Stendy.

Owing to the very heavy demand for white
pine during April. coupled with the low con-
dition OF stocks and the very light production
during a month when usually there is a
heavy production the market is in strong
position and is howng~noninal advances. :
Probably the worst shortage applies to
finish lumber and flooring in the better grades
Local lumber firms have in some instances
few thousand feet while in others they have
none. Notwithstanding this fact there is a
heavy consumptive demand which seems to be
increasing rather than diminishing. 1t Is also
to be noted that the production of the higher
grades Of lumber is being curtaled in the
northern sections each year and owing to
these facts it has been felt necessary in some
quarters to make advances. These apply to
all the better grades. .. a4.e. III $50. . -
W. There have also been some nominal adj
'vances recently in the heavier dimension tim
bers. Ordinary dimension remains unchanged.
but in the larger sizes of larger timhers the
same shortage applies as is noted in finish
lumber. which, coupled with a good demand
has brought a stronger market. :.
A new plan of selling siding is also being
introduced. This originated with west coast
manufacturers, who decided to sell all lengths
OF siding on the basis the standard
lengths. In that instance it was found to be
benefit to the trade at large and white
pine manufacturers are making the change.
A few items in the list showing some
what lower tone Lnan mas ruteQ, possibly que
to the fact that consumption has not come up
to expectations. This is especially true OF
lath, which are % cents lower per 1000, and
sx-inch fencing in some grades, which has
been reduced 80 cents.
The outlook for a continued heavy demand
for white pine is regarded as excellent and
much higher prices might be charged at the
present time. but manufacturers regard con-
ditions favorable for a large consumption
and prefer to follow q Conservative course
rather than boom" the market. In many in
stances the condition of supply and demand
would warrant them in making radical ad-
vances.
Owing to the shortage of lumber April ship
ments showed some dimnution from, last year
and are Is per cent smaller. Total figures OF
receipts and shipments during April for three
years are as follows: Receipts Apr, 1900

ARNDT DEMANDS $500.
VIII Settle His Claim Against the City for
This Amount if City is willing.

Carl AArndt, who recently filed a
claim against the city for injuries re-
ceived by falling on a defective side
walk, has made proposition to the
city to settle the suit out of court. but it
is hardly probable%t that the settlement
asked by Arndt will be accepted.
Through his attorney, Arndt has sent
word to the committee on claims, that
he will withdraw his claim on the pay
ment of four hundred dollars by the
city. Arndt was injured several
months ago, and is still suffering from
the effects of the injury. The mem
bers of the council seem to think that
the demand of the man is very large
one. In the past many similar claims
have been made against the city, but
ali of them have been settled for a
much smaller sum. The largest sum
paid in the last few years was 500,
which was recently paid to Mary
rMcCabe.9 The matter has been refer
red to the committee on claims of the
city council, and they will look into
the matter.

President of the Carter Manufacturing
Company Died Suddenly at His
Home Monday Morning.
HIS DEATH COMES AS A SHOCK.
The Friends of Mr.. Carter Had Not Been
Advised of His Seri us 1l1ness.-Long
Connection With Industry.

Thomas L. Carter, president of the
Carter Manufacturing company and
one of the best known of the young
| manufacturers IN Southern Wisconsin,
died at his home on Wisconsin street
Monday morning after short illness.
The announcement of the death of
Mr.. Carter caused universal regret in
Kenosha.
Very few of the friends of the de-
ceased had been advised of his serious
illness and the announcement of his
death came as a decided shock to
even his companions in the manufac
turing world. Mr.. Carter was taken
i'll ten days ago with an acute attack
Of nervous prostration and he became
suddenly worse on Sunday. He sank
rapidly until the end came Monday
morning.
The death of T. L. Carter marks the
passing of man who has been most
actively connected with the manufac-
turing world in Kenosha. Many of
the large industries of the city have
been largely assisted by his services.
Mr.. Carter has been connected with
the industries of Kenosha since he was
fourteen years of age. At that time he
went to work for the Simmons Manu-
featuring company aud in few years
he worked his way to the position of
foreman of the large plant. With the
organization of the Lane Manufacture
ing company Mr.. Carter was selected
as general foreman of that industry
and when it went out of business some
fifteen years ago Mr.. Carter went to
the Kenosha Crib company to accept
similar position. He remained with
the Crib company until two years ago,
when he withdrew to form the Carter
Manufacturing company. The COM
pany started business on limited cap
ita1, but within the short period of it's
existence through the abilities of Mr..
Carter it found place among the lead
ing industries of Kenosha and was
recognized factor in the furniture
making world.
Mr.. Carter was man of indOmita-
BILE pluck and energy. He was always
at work and his fidelity to his business
interests was undoubtedly largely re-.
sponsib1e for the attack of prostration
which resulted IN his death.
The deceased was Kenosha boy.
He was son of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Carter and was born in Kenosha April
Goth, 1860. He. was educated in the
schools of Kenosha and graduated
from the High school at the age of
fourteen. From the time he left the
High school he had been at work in the
different factories.
A widow and two daughters, Clara
and Winefred, his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Carter, and one sister,
Mrs. Johnson A. Jackson, survive.
The funeral was held from the
Congregational church on Wednesday
afternoon at half past two O'Clock and
he remains were inferred at the
Carter family plat in the city GENE
terry.

Father of Mrs. W. s. Lamb Died Early Sun
day Morning in Chicago.

M. B. Swezey, father of Mrs. w. S.
Lamb of this city and one of the best
known residents of Chicago, died at
half past eight O'Clock Sunday morn
ing at his home, 2414 Wabash avenue,
Chicago. The deceased had been i'll
for several days and death was not I'M
expected.
A short funeral service was held
from the Plymouth church In Chicago
at eleven O'Clock this morning and the
remains were brought to Kenosha this
afternoon and laid to rest by the side
of his wife in the Swezey family plat
in the city cemetery.
The announcement of the death of
Mr.. Swezey will cause sorrow in many
homes in Kenosha. Mr.. Swezey was
frequent visitor to this city and had a
large number of friends here.

Hugh Monroe Drops Dead While Wait
ing for a Car al the Electric Rail-
way Station.
DEATH DUE TO HEART DISEASE.
Monroe W. S in the Best OF Health and Was
suddenly Stricken Just After He Enter
ed the Station.

Hugh Monroe, an employee of the AL
len tannery, residing with his wife and
two children at the corner of Milwau-
kee avenue and North Main street,
met tragic death shortly after ten
o'clock Sunday morning, in the sta
ton of the M. r. & K. Electric Rail
way Company. Monroe had walked to
the station intending to take the car to
Racine for the purpose of buying some
tools. He reached the station just as
the car pulled in, and as there was
some time to spare he walked into the
station with the motOrmau and con-
ductor to wait until the train started.
Just after he entered the station he
walked to the stove and opened the
door to throw something into it and as
he turned away from the stove he fell
forward on his face. The conductor
and motormau, thinking he had faint
ed hurried to his assistance but when
they reached the mans side, he had
expired. The event caused quite
little excitement in the neighborhood,
and Doctors Kimba1l and Irving were
hurriedly summoned. Both doctors
pronounced the man dead when they
arrived.
The coroner was at once summoned
and jury called to investigate the
sudden death. After the jury had
viewed the remains they we're removed
to the Hansen morgue and prepared
for burial.
The death of the husband and father
came as a great shock to the wife and
children whom he had left only ew
moments before and the widow was
Frustrated by the sad news.
Monroe was we'll known ia Kenosha
having resided here for some time.
He was about forty years of age, and
was a native of Canada. He came
from his home in the Dominion to
Morris, ILL.,, and later removed to Ke-
nosha. For the past few weeks he
had been receiving treatment in an
other city until a few days ago. He is
survived by wife and two children.

Petersen. AS the story goes the latter
rushed at Neil and knocked him
through p1ate-glass window into the

NO BANK SALE.
Il. B. Robinson Denies the Report That the
Kenosha Bank Has Been Sold,

Saturday and Sunday the financial
columns of Chicago and Milwaukee
papers con tanned a report that the
Merchants and Savings Bank of this
city had been sold to Frank Maloney
and Frank Komp, of Chicago, and that
the new owners would take charge OF
the property this morning. The re-
port is without foundation more than
that the two men named have been ne
gotiating for the purchase of the bank.
III speaking of the matter Monday
II. B. Robinson, President of the Mer-
chants and Savings Bank, stated that
as yet there had been no deal made
and that there was no reason to be
1ieve that any change would take
place in the immediate future. Mr..
Robinson stated that he had talked
with the Chicago men IN regard to
the sale of the bank and that propo-
sitions had been made but that moth
ing had been settled.
Komp and Maloney are the two men
who came to Kenosha last week look
ing for a site for bank. One of them
is now employed at the Com nerc1al
National in Chicago, and it is stated
that they have decided to open bank
ing house here. If possible they will
purchase the Robinson property, but
as stated in the News few days ago,
there is a wide difference between the
parties as to the value of the property
and the deal may fall through.

CAPT. MONT SELLS OUT.
chase Brothers, of Milwaukee, Buy Out the
Main Street Saloon Property.

A deal was completed Monday after
noon for the sale of the saloon OF
Capt. Lew Mont, on Main street, to II.
C.. and A. E. Chase, of Milwaukee.
The new owners will take charge OF
the saloon at once and the business
will be continued under the name OF
"Chase Brothers." Captain Mont will
retire, permanently from the saloon
business in Kenosna.
The retirement of Capt. Mont re-
moves a unique figure from the saloon
business in Kenosha. Capt. Mont
came to Kenosha some four years ago
and as a result Of a series of unique
advertisements he soon built up large
business. During the last few months
the health of the Captain has been
falling and he was finally forced tc
give up the. business. Chase Brothers
are both experienced saloon men.
