THIS is the time of the year when
free bathing beaches and bath houses
would be appreciated by the public and
it does seem as if way might be pro-
vided for the people toGtake swim
without being in danger of arrest. It
is always a wonder to visitors, to the
city that Kenosha makes so little use
during the summer months of the ma
tural advantages right at her doors
and it is often remarked that we fail
utterly to appreciate old Lake Michi-
gan. Cleanliness is next to goodness
and while Kenosha has an abundance
of churches the next best thing is de.
MED to the poor of the city.

Police of the City Asked to Search
for the Whereabouts OF Mrs. Annie
Richards Who Left Last Week.
SMALL BOY IS LEFT BEHIND.
Brownie" Richards, Who Was a Son of the
Woman, Asks the Police to Search For
Her.-Can Care For Himself.

Just at present the police force of
Kenosha is facing hard problem in
the long list of people reported missing
from the city. Three have been re-
ported missing this week and only one
has been fonnd. That one was Lars
Beck whose remains were washed up
by the lake this morning.
The latest addition to the list of
missing people is Mrs. Annie Rich
ards who lived with her son Martin
Richards, aged thirteen years, at a
house at 800 Fremont avenue. Mrs.
Richards left on last Friday to go to
Milwaukee and this is the last heard
of the woman. The little son who was
left behind has boldly taken upon him
self the responsibility of keeping up
the esta blishment and is making his
living by selling papers on the streets.
At the time of her leaving Kenosha
Mrs. Richards told the boy that she
would return in very short time but
the boy has received no word from her
and as the rent of the humble home is
due he is anxious for his mother to re-
turn and provide home for him.
Among the boys who sell newspa pers
the deserted little fellow is known as
Brownie" No one ever sought to
find out what his other name was as
the boys were kept pretty busy COM
peting with Brownie" He is the
best paper seller on the street when it
comes to selling extras and while he
wants his mother back he informed
the chief of police this morning that
he was perfectly able to take care of
himself. The Richards family has
been badly broken. The father died
several years ago and more than a
year ago the one daughter, Mollie
Richards, left the city to go to Cincin-
natl. She has never been heard of
since and although it was claimed that
she had eloped with we'll known Ke-
nosha man no proof of this report has
ever been found.
For some time, according to the
story told by the small boy to the po-
lice this morning, he has been contrib
uting literally of his meager wages
for the support of the mother but the
latter seems to have appreciated very
little his efforts. It is thought pos
sible that the woman is in Cedarburg,
Wis, and the police of that city have
been asked to make search for her.
When she left Kenosha she left the
boy without any money and as he says
with little or nothing in the house to
eat. Hoping that the mother would
return the boys has kept the house
open and has slept there every night.
Now that the rent is due he will be
forced to find another home if the
mother does not return in few days.

TIE fact that the managers of one
of the largest factories in the city ad-
vised some of their customers not to
build a new factory in Kenosha be-
cause of the difficulty of securing
vorkmen on account of the lack of
accommodations for them should stir
the merchants and business men up to
the necessity of doing something to
remedy matters without delay. The
City Council can relieve the situation
to some extent by passing the ordi-
nance now before that body extending
the limits of the present sewer district
80 take in the whole city-for sthe
plans for many houses to be built in
the western part Of the city have
already been drawn and will be put up
at once if the investors can get sewer
accommodations. Incredible as itmay
seem, it is said that some of the alder
men have announced their intention
of voting against the ordinance. They
have given no valid reasons for their
opposition to the ordinance except
that they are afraid thac if the sewer
district is extended the city will be
compelled to expend large sums for the
construction of new sewers. Their
fears are groundless, for the ordinance
in question pledges the city to nothing.
1t simply is a measure designed to en-
able the city to utilize to the fullest ex-
tent what sewer facilities it now has,
and without the expenditure of any
money to give much needed relief to a
large section. The ordinance does not
provide for the construction of single
foot of sewer, and without the consent
of the council none can be built. With
investors waiting to build houses and
the men of whom the factories are so
much in need eager and willing to
come and occupy them, Kenosha has a
chance to increase the population of
the city considerably before snow flies.
and it is difficult to see what the alder
men expect to gain by refusing to take
advantage of it.

CENSUREs THE COMPANY.

Coroner's Jury Find that the Railway
Company Was Negligent.
The coroner's jury summoned to in

Tolero, who was killed by a gravel
train on the Northwestern on Monday.
finished its work last night and the
verdict seems to place the blame for
the death Of the man on the COM
pany. It is alleged that the men were
working at long distance from each
other and so far apart that it was
impossible for the foreman to warn
the men of the approaching danger.
This decision of the jury may have a
decidedly strong effect in the matter
if any suit is brought against the
company to recover for the mans
death.

IN PURPLE AND FINE LINEN
EIks and x. of p. Planning to Dazzle Keno
shans When Game Is Called SATURDAY.

EIks and x. of p. Planning to Dazzle Keno-
shans When Game Is Called Saturday.
The coming base ball game between
the Elks and the Knights of Pythias
for the benefit of Kenosha Hospital
Association fund promises to be the
greatest display of purple and fine
| linen ever seen in Kenosha. The
grand parade of the players and the
members of the two lodges which will
take place on Saturday noon, will re-
call the pageantry of the Medieval
days. A circus parade with its open
dens of animals will not be in it with
the array of beauty and the novelties
to be presented before the great game.
The members of the two teams will
appear in costumes grotesque and
classic, while the members of the
lodges will march through the streets
attired in which will bring smiles to
the face. The entire parade will be a
wealth of tinsel and gold. Nearly all
the available horses in the city have
been secured for the big event and it
will be worth going miles to see. Two
bands will be seen in the parade, the
Stemm Bros. Band having volunteered
their services for the parade and the
members of the Elks have organized
band which will be one of the greatest
novelties ever seen in the city. Tho
interest in the game is increasing as
the date draws near and the members
of the teams are being practiced in
secret every afternoon. Talk of ring
ers is freely heard in the hostile camps
but both Manager Ernst of the Knights
and Manager Gottfredsen of the Elks
land formerly of the Sand Rats in
1879 declare that the game will be on
its merits. The Northwestern Rail-
way Company has promised to supply
all the private cars needed to take the
crowd to the ball park, and if neces-
sary, dozen special trains will be run
to the ball grounds. The game prom
ises to be society event and many of
the leading society people of the city
have promised to turn out and take
part in the parade before the game.
Handsome equipages, gaily decorated
with flowers, will be one of the fea-
lures of the great event. The tickets
for the game are for sale all over the
city and from the way the money has
been flowing in it is evident that every
one in the city is anxious to see the
great game.
The list of Players has been kept
secret until today on account of theI
rivalry for places on the team. Like
the nominations for the classic Ameri-
can derby the players we're selected
weeks ago and have been quietly
trained for the struggle but the names
have been withheld until the last mo-
ment in order to give the members of
the two lodges a chance. The full list
of players as announced by the manag-
ers today include the best known busi-
ness End professional men in the city.
The 'line-up of the teams as announced
follows:
