MANY WEDDINGS IN KENosHA
Demand for Court Orders is Increasing as
Spring Weather Draws Nigh.


It is evident that with the first kiss
of spring the Chicago young mans
fancy is turning to Thoughts of love
and the records of the county court
shows that the marriage business in
Kenosha is enjoying a boom as a re-
suit. Three weddings were celebrated
in this city Wednesday evening and
today and only one Of the happy par
Elephants were residents of enosha.
The first of the weddings was that
Of James Borgetsen, of Kenosha, and
Miss Agnes Jackson, of Racine, which
! was celebrated at the parsonage of the
Methodist church Wednesday evening
the ceremony being performed by the
Rev. w. w. Stevens. Mr.. and Mrs.
Borgensen will leave at once for
Montreal, Canada to make their
home.
The second wedding Of the trio was
the marriage of Miss Anna Ko1berg
and William Lamm, both of Half Day,
| ILL.,, which was celebrated by Judge
S1osson Wednesday evening.
The last wedding for the twenty
four hours was that of William E.
Tanning and Miss Caroline Stein
kamp, both of Chicago, which was eel.
ebrated shortly after noon today.

Alderman SchoIey Makes a Good
Proposition to Parties Wanting
Streets Vacated.
WANTS GIFT OF POOR HOUSE SITE
The Alderman From the Fifth Requests
Parties to show THAT they are willing
TO Pay For Favors Asked.

Alderman NJ. ]. Scholey seems to be
in favor of the vacation of streets in
the city under the proper circum-
stances, but he has discovered rather
unique, way in which to secure com
pensation for the city for the streets SO
vacated and 1t is reported that he has
asked number Of the parties now
seeking to have the streets vacated
that in return for the vacation of the
streets in question the petitioners for
the favor make good to the people of
the city providing lot on which to
locate the Sixth ward school when it is
possible to secure it for use as a city
poor house.
The finances Of the city are at pres
ent in such shape that there are
no funds available for the purchase Of
lot on which to locate the school
building when it is given back to the
city by the Board of Education and the
move of the Alderman from the Fifth
to have some of the people asking ia
vors from the city provide a lot seems
to have struck popular cord among
the aldermen. One of the parties has
taken the matter seriously and is now
searching about the city for cheap
lot which he can deed the city in re-
turn for favors received.
The committee in charge of the mat
ter has not been idle and they are pre-
pairing report for the Council on next
Monday night which will provide an
acceptance of the school building for
use as poor house and it 5 possible
that the committee will hs 5e 1een able
to have purchased site ny tnat time.
It has been suggested that the present
site of the poor house be sold and the
money used for the purchase of an
other lot and the repair of the school
building, but real estate men hold that
the city property on Washington Island
is all to valuable to dispose of it at the
present time and that its value will be
largely Increased within few years.
1t is highly probable that it would be
impossible to move the school building
any long distance and for this reason
the committee III charge of the matter
are seeking lot In the neighborhood
of the school.
There is little doubt that the plan for
the using of the old building as a poor
house will go through and one of the
long felt wants in Kenosha will proba-
bly, be realized in the early summer.

ITALIAN LEADER DEAD.
Philip German. Well Known Italian Mer-
chant, Expired Friday Evening

Philip German, Well Known Italian Mer-
chant, Expired Friday Evening.
Philip German, the best known
member of the Kenosha colony of
Italians, died Friday evening shortly
after eleven O'Clock at his residence on
Rowland avenue after a long illness
from consumption.
The death of Philip German will be
a sad blow to the Italians of Kenosha,
as he was the man who stood at the
head of the Kenosha colony. He was
a man of education and of great BUSH
ness ability. For several years he had
been in charge of large business inter
ests IN Chicago and a short time ago
he came to this city and opened a store
for the Italians of the city which was
operated as a branch to his importing
business.
He was man of means and from
his plenty he gave freely to his coun
trymen in Kenosha and Chicago. In
the Italian colony this morning grief
is plainly shown and several hundred
Italians will come to Kenosha from
Chicago tomorrow to pay last tribute
to the memory of their leader Cor
man was man of broad American
ideas and in his death the city loses a
man who hadsdone much to make the
Italians of Kenosha better American
citizens.

BRISTOL NJ. E. CHURCH DINNER
Annual Dinner Success in spite of the
Weather Kenosha People ATTEND.

Annual Dinner a Success in spite of the
weather-Kenosha People Attend.
The annual dinner given by the
members of the Bristol M. e. church
took place on Friday and was most
enjoyable entertainment in every way.
In spite of the bad roads and the dis
agreeable weather a large crowd of
people from all over the country at
tended and the fine dinner provided by
the ladies was thoroughly appreciated
by every one present.
Only ten people from Kenosha were
present. Owing to the condition of
the roads most of the people of the city
who usually attend the dinner had
given up going. Late Friday night,
however, the railway managers were
pursuaded to attach a coach to the way
freight for the accommodation of the
Kenosha people who desired to attend
the dinner.
Had this fact been generally known
a much larger crowd would have gone
out from here. The dinner was sue
cess, financially as well as socially,
and a neat sam was added to the treas
nry of the church.

Friday Evening at Keating's Saloon.
Hollis w. Lane, a son of Mrs. Anna
Lane, died very suddenly Friday even
ing while sitting in chair in the sa-
loon Of ]. II. Heating, on Main street.
The deceased had just entered the
place and had sat down near the steve
and was engaged in conversation with
Hosea Sells, Of Waukegan. Mr.. Sells
had been telling story and Lane was
laughing at 1t when suddenly he
leaned his head over on his hand, his
body falling over against Mr.. Sells.
No one thought that he was in trouble
but minute later Sells looked at the
man leaning against him and noticed
that he was dead.
Death was so instantaneous that no
one in the room had noticed the ap-
proach Of the silent visitor. AS soon
as possible the coroner was Summoned
and jury was secured which at once
found that the deceased came to his
death from stroke Of apoplexy.
Hollis Whitney Lane was born IN
Somers, March 7th, 1860, but most OF
his life has been spent in Kenosha.
He is survived by one daughter, his
wife having died many years ago.
Mr.. Lane was well and favorably
/ known to railway men In all parts 81
the state he having been railway 10.

MRS. FROST RESIGNS.
Teacher of Music and Drawing in KenOsha
school Rstirss from werk.

City Superintendent of Schools Nor
man L. Baker has received letter
from Mrs. Floy A. Frost, teacher of
music in the schools who is now con-
fined to her home in Detroit on ac-
count of illness, stating that she will
not be Bile to resume her work IN Ke-
nosha during the present year, and
practically rendering her resignation
to the Board of Education.
Mrs. Frost was forced to leave Keno
sha soon after the holidays, and since
that time she has been at her home in
Detroit. It is not probable that any
teacher will be employed to take the
place of Mrs. Frost for the remainder
of the year and the teaching of music
will be left to the other teachers.
Mrs. Frost had been CONNECTED with
the Kenosha schools since last Seq
TENDER and her work was of high
grade and gave general satisfaction to
the school patrons. It is probable
that an effort will be made to have
Mrs. Frost return to Kenosha with the
opening of new school year if she
shall have recovered her health by
that time.

is SORRY HE SHOT HER.

Euffy Gibbons, who Fired a Bullet
Into His Sweethenrt's Neck.
Cuhy Gibbons, the negro who shot
and seriously wounded the woman with
whom he was in love, was arraiGned
before Recorder Myrick in Police Court
yesterday morning. The crime was
committed on the night of June q, but
Cuffy succeeded in evading the vigil
lance of the officers until Friday night,
when he was captured by Patrolman
Woods on Indian street near where
the shooting occurred.
Lizzie Jenkins, the woman who was
shot, was still too weak to appear in
Police Court, and the negro was held
until she can appear against him.
The case is a peculiar one and dem
onstrates the extreme impulsiveness of
the negro character. Immediately after
Gibbons had shot at the woman
through a window he rushed into the
house and Rugged and kissed her for
several minutes, after which he ran
away. Jealousy caused the shooting.
Gibbons says that he loves the wo-
man and is very sorry he shot her. He
says that when he fired the shot he
did not know what he was doing.

prisoner back to Columbia by the is

personal appearance with the descrip-
ton of Doster, even to the possession
of three thumbs on his right hand.
The detective felt so sure he had the
right man that he could actually feel
the reward of $50 that was offered
already in his grasp.
But he hadn't, as the evidence adj
duced at the hearing before the ordi-
nary yesterday morning, conclusively
proved. Doster escaped from the PEN
itentiary only last August, while the
evidence of more than a score of wit
nesses was uniformly to the effect that
Johnson had been living in Savannah
for the past fifteen months or more.
Johnson was represented at the hear
ing by Twiggs & oliver, while Detec-
tive Davis conducted his own ease.
After hearing all the evidence Judge
McAlpin had no difficulty in deciding
that Johnson was not Doster, and
therefore directed that he be released
from custody. This decision made un-
necessary any further consideration of
the several other grounds, besides that
of identity, upon which the applica-

where he is to be in command of the
state shoot. He said yesterday that
he had received a letter from Capt.
Walter Z. Coney, who has been rep
resenting him in Macon, stating that
the range is in thorough readiness,
save for two or three minor details.
The Governor is expected to visit the
camp of instruction during the week.
Just when he would be there Col. Cam
was not able to say, but it will prob
ably be on Friday or Saturday.
1t is the purpose of Col. Cam to d.
vide the some 400 men in camp into
two forces, which will alternate in
range work and in extended order drill
and evening parade. The force engaged
in rife practice will be busy at that
for half a day, while the other force
viii be busy with drill and practice
sighting. During the other half of the
day the forces will exchange work.
-Four thousand rounds of blank cart
ridges have been shipped to Macon at
Col. Cams direction. These are TO be
used in the extended order drills. There
will not be very much of the ordinary
company drills about the work of the
eEcampment, but Col. Cam wants to
get in a good deal of practice in the
more practical side of soldiers
duties.
Tonight the thirteen Savannah
teams will leave for Macon. They will
travel via the Central Railway In
each team there will be five men. They
will return to Savannah next Sunday
morning
