WILL SING IN KENOSHA.
Societies of Two Cities Lunch Together at
Casino FALL.

Societies of Two Cities Lunch Together at
Casino FALL.
A very delightful affair was the
joint meeting of the German Male
chorus of this city and the Harmonic
Singing society of Kenosha, which oc-
Cured last evening at Casino hall.
During their visit the Kenosha
chorus extended an invitation to their
Racine brethren to come to Kenosha
on Jan. 4 to assist them in giving an
entertainment. The invitation was
Immediately accepted and rehearsals
for the event began under the leader
ship of Prof Henry Schultz, the direc-
tor of both choruses.
After rehearsing number of songs
the gentlemen were served with a
luncheon from the Belvidere hotel,
after which speeches we're in order un-
til late hour. Among the post pran-
dial speakers were Hugo Klupfer,
president of the Deutcher Maenner
Verein; DR.. Kark, president of the
male chorus, and several members of
the Kenosha society. The keynote of
the speeches was the kindly feeling
that exists between the members of
the two choruses and all touched on
the mutual benefit that resulted from
joint meetings, and expressed the hope
that the friendly relations would be
permanent Racine Times.

TO LIST FARMERS.
FOR THE AID OF THE CARRIERS.

Just at present the rural mail carrier
is about the most watched and tended
official of the government. Laws are
being introduced to increase his pay
and the residents of the farming dis.
tricts are being forced to work over
time in order to get the roads in con-
dition for his coming. Kenosha coun-
ty is not to be behind in this work of
aid for the carriers and in few days
Postmaster Charles Frantz will start
the work of making census of the
farmers in the county who will be con-
nected by the different rural routes.
The census will be the most unusual
one ever made for the country districts
as it will include the name of every
man, woman and child that will be
reached by the different routes. This
is being done in order to have the coun-
ty properly listed on the books of the
post Office before the rural routes are
opened.
Quite little confusion has been
caused on the routes now in operation
on account of the fact that the resi-
dents along the routes are not known
to the department. This fact has
caused quite little delay in the de.
livery OF mails. Under the new plan
before the route is opened the post
master and his assistants will have a
complete list of all parties on the diff
ferent routes and there will be no
trouble in sending out the mail.
The carriers to have charge of the
new routes in this county have not as
yet been appointed, but as soon as they
are named will be put to work to make
the census. 1t is thought that the
Government will esta blish the routes
in this county about the first of Jan.
uary. Kenosha will be one of the first
counties ia the state to give rural de.
livery to all it's inhabitants.

John Petersen Who Did MeniaI Work
About The Petersen Saloon Has
an Unusual WindfaIl.
PAPErTc SUPPOSED TO BE POOR.
BIZ Father Dies and Leaves His Only Son
the Kenosha Man an Estate Valued
at over 100000.

Truth is sometimes stranger than
fiction and this is the case of John
Petersen porter who has been en-
ployed for some time at the Petersen
saloon on Main street. He came to
work as usual yesterday morning but
during the day he received a letter
from one Of the high Courts Of Den
mark stating that the sudden death Of
his father had made him heir to an
estate valued at over twenty thousand
dollars and asking him to come to
Copenhagen at once and claim his IN
heritance. It is safe to say that Pet
ersen lost no time in getting started
and be left Kenosha last night for
New York. He will sail on Monday
morning for his native land. Peter
sen had to do lot of hard scraping to
raise the money to pay for his long
trip but his friends were charmed by
his prospects and advanced the money
needed. Petersen declared that he
would return to Kerosha as soon as
the affairs of the estate were properly
settled up.
The story of Petersen and his in
heritance is a most unusual one. Ten
years ago when Petersen left his home
to come to this county 10 seek livli,
hood he was of the opinion that his
father was without resources. In the
years that passed the boy had kept in
touch with his parents at home out in
the letters that passed between the
two countries nothing was said of any
changes in the financial condition of
the family. Petersen failed to strike
it rich in America and he was earning
bare living in his position. Not
withstanding this fact he had kept up
his connection with his home. A short
time ago when his father died he was
deeply moved but he did not thin k
that it would be possible for him to go
back to the old home. He had written
to some solicitors in his native land
asking them to convert what little
property there might be into money
expecting to receive possibly couple
of hundred dollars. The letter from
the solicitors advised him that the es
tate had been adjusted in court and
that as his father and mother we're
both dead he was the sole heir to the
property that had been left by them.
In the letter the lawyers asked him to
come to Denmark with all possible
dispatch.
Petersen is well known to the Danes
of Keuosha and he was warmly con-
graduated on his good fortune before
he departed. He expects to get back
to Kenosha In about seven months.

THE CHRISTMAS PACKAGE
Old Mail Agent Gives Advice on the Wrap
ping of Mail Gifts.

Old Mail Agent Gives Advice on the Wrap
ping of Mail Gifts.
The time of the year is approaching
when practically every one is mailing
packages. The holiday season is close
at hand, and for weeks before New
Years the mails will be loaded down
with merchandise. The rush in the
postal service increases as Christmas
approaches, and for several days
around Dec. Is the mails are heavily
swamped, but they manage to handle
the enormously increased volume with
astonishingly little delay or loss
However. there is liable to be more OF
less delay, and It's advisable to send
packages as much in advance of the
holiday rush as possible.
A Fond du Lac man in the railway
mail service, who has been through
many holiday campaigns in mail
car, gives some good advice to Christ
mas givers. He says:
"The postoffice department is often
criticized because of the bad condition
in which presents are received, when
If the critics knew of the immense
quantity of mail handled and how
stuffed and crowded the sacks are,
they would wonder that their mail
goes through as well as it does, and
would wrap their packages more Sc
curely.
$50 tie your packages with good,
strong cord. Put your photographs
between strong cardboards. Never put
water on your flowers after they are
laid in the box to send away, but put a
few sheets of tissue paper in the bot
tom and some wet cotton batting and
wrap around them. IF you pour water
on them the cardboard box gets the
water, and not the flowers, and conse-
quently falls to pieces. Then your
flowers are "has beens." Always
write the address in ink and put your
name and address in smaller hand
writing in the upper left-hand corner,
SO that the packages will come back if
not delivered"

MAD DOG sCAREs SALEM
Canine Affected with the Rabies Runs wild
through the Streets of Salem village

Canine An0CC0O with the Rabies Runs Wild
through the Streets of Salem village
The little town of Salem out in the
western part of the county is just re-
viving from paroxysm of excitement.
It was all caused by dog which be-
longed to Arthur Bevins, the village
butcher. The dog went suddenly mad
and dashed through the main street of
the village. People fed in terror from
the streets and sought refuge in the
houses along the way. Fortunately
no one was bitten by the animal.
When the dog had run down the main
street several times the owner became
aware of the incident and went out
and hit the dog with club, stunning
him. The dog was killed later in the
day. It is thought that the dog bit
several other dogs in the village and
close watch is being kept for any in
dications of rabies among the CANNES.
