OLD SOLDIERS REUNION
Survivors of the Civil War In Racine and
Kenosha Meet at Evergreen Park

Survivors of the Civil War In Racine and
Kenosha Meet at Evergreen Park
One of the greatest gatherings of
the veterans of the Civil war ever held
in Southern Wisconsin was held on
Labor day at Evergreen Park be-
tween Racine and Kenosha, when the
old soldiers of Racine and Kenosha
counties together with their wives and
children, met for the annual reunion
and camp FIRE. More than three humid
red people attended the reunion and
took part in the different exercises of
the day.
At noon basket dinner was served,
and after dinner the veterans and
their friends gathered for love feast.
The principal speaker of the day was
the Rev. Florence Buck of this city,
who spoke to the veterans on patriotic
subjects. She reviewed the history of
the Civil war and paid a tribute of
love and Affection to the veterans in
blue who gave their lives for the pre-
servatiop of the Union. She spoke of
Labor day and of the condition of the
country at the present time.
The address was one of the most
noteworthy ones ever delivered at a
meeting of the two Associations.
Many of the mem bers of the Milwau-
kee Post came down to attend the re-
union, among the number being Com
mander Rumble of the Department of
Wisconsin, who made short address
during the afternoon. Other contri-
buttons to the program were furnished
by Miss Charlie Runals, and Comrade
Charles Bentley Of Milwaukee.
After the speakers had finished the
crowd gathered in the pavilion aud
closed the day with an informal dane
ing party.
During the afternoon a business
meeting of the society was held, and
Theodore Rel, postmaster at Burling-
ton, was elected President of the AS
ISOLATION for the year. F. H. Lyman,
of this city, was selected as Secretary
and Treasurer.
The next reunion of the veterans
will be held at Burlington on Labor
day of 1904.

United States Government to Build a
Splendid Modern Home For Keno
sha Life Saving Crew.
SUPERINTENDENT KlMBALL HERE.
New Station Which Will Cost Ten Thousand
Dollars Will be Erected on the Beach
in the Early Spring.

Before another season rolls round
the Kenosha Life Saving Crew will
have splendid modern station, as the
officials of the government were in the
city today and made final arrange
ments for the erection of the new
building. The party consisted of Gen.
eral Superintendent S. I. Kimball of
Washington, Captain Charles A.
Abbey of New York, head Inspector of
the service and Lieutenant Rem burg
of Chicago, who is in charge of this
district.
The officials made a general survey
of the old station and announced that
the work on the new station would be
started with the early spring.
The site selected for the new station
is located just north of the present
lookout of the crew and three hundred
feet from the beach.
On account of the decision to build
new station the officials have decide ed
to do nothing to carry out the plans to
move the old station to the new loca-
tion as it is thought that the new
building will be ready for use with the
opening of the season year from now.
While the plans for the Kenosha
station have not as yet been made the
officials assured the crew that it would
be the most modern station on the
lakes. The government will expend
some ten thousand dollars on the build
ing. It will be of brick and as near
fire proof as possible. 1t will contain
modern bath and toilet rooms, a gym
nasium for the use of the men and
splendid sleeping quarters. Added to
this home for the crew, special rooms
will be built for the protection of the
boats now used by the crews.
The government built a station at
Racine during the present year, but il
is said that Kenosha is the more i'm
portant point of the two and for this
reason the Kenosha station will be
vastly superior to the one erected in
the Belle City. The architects of the
government will come to Kenosha next
week to draw the preliminary sketches
for the new station and the plans will
be approved by the general superinten-
dent at once in order to admit of no
delay in the completion of the work

The city made a good showing,
many of the members of the council
and the police force turning out, while
the FIRE department brought up the
rear of the procession.
After the parade was over the crowds
followed the bands to the different
picnic grounds. The Trades and
Labor Council ente1t aimed its friends
at Lothrop's Grove and thousands Of
people enjoyed its hospitality during
the afternoon and evening. All day
long the platforms we're crowded with
merry dancers while bands and orches-
tras furnished music for the dance.
During the afternoon sports and
games were arranged for the younger
memb ers of the big company and
pretty prizes were given to the win
ners of the different events.
Over at Schend's Park on Milwau-
kee avenue the carpenters and brick
layers entertained immense crowds
with an all day and night dance and
this crowd was second only to the big
crowd at Lothrop's Grove.
Out at Central Park another big pic
mic was given by the young men of St.
Georges Church and the park was
crowded during the entire day.
Besides these entertainments dances
and parties we're given in almost every
hall in the city and every dance drew
great crowd.
In all it was the greatest Labor day
ever seen in Kenosha and the men
who engineered the big celebration
are deserving of great deal Of credit
for the great success of the day.
Financially the day proved winner
for the laborers and the treasury of the
Trades and Labor Council will receive
big boost as result of the days
gaities.

WON AND LOST A GAME.
Kenosha Base Ball Team Makes an Even
Bressx with Leaders of Brewers League.

With a garrison finish which gave
the ans heart disease the Kenosha
Interstate team managed to split even
with the B1atz team of Milwaukee
Monday afternoon, when the locals
took the second game of the series by
a score of FIVE to four after one of the
hottest fights ever seen on the diamond
at Grand View Park. The Blatz team
had won the Sunday game by score
Of six to five, and for long time it
looked as if they were destined to take
the second game by similar margin,
but when the fans had almost lost
hope, Wolf, the new pitcher Of the Ke-
nosha team, trotted over the plate
with the winning run, and the crowd
Of five hundred people went wild cheer
ing the victors.
The game on Monday was one of the
finest exhibitions of the National game
ever seen in Kenosha. The defeat of
Sunday had given the home boys IN
incentive to work for the game and
the Blatz team was determined to
MAKE lt two straight.
The kenosha team started the ball
rolling in the first inning and made a
score, and the visitors equaled things
up in the second. In the fourth and
fifth the Blatz team took a decided
lead by making three runs and in the
fifth add sixth Kenosha fattened up
little with two to their credit. AT the
opening of the ninth inning the visit
ors led by enc run and they we're
promptly BANKED. When the Keno
sha boys came to bat the excitement
was intense. Snelle went out but
Wolf and Hanks managed to send the
ball out for base. Old Pop Schooley
filled up the bases with a cracking
single, and one Of the men was forced
in with base on balls. Casey then
came 10 bat and it was all off as he
managed to put the ball far enough to
allow Wolf to score the winning run.
The score of the game follows:

n0sha Club on Monday.
FRED PETIT WINS FIRST CUP.
Miss Anise Palmatier Defeats Mrs. G.. A.
Yule for the Woman's Trophy.-Many
Other Contests During the Day,

Monday was the busiest day of the
season on the links of the Kenosha
Country Club and from the minute the
club flag was hoisted IN the morning
until the falling of the shades of night
there was contest of some kind be-
tween the memb ers of the club. Half
a dozen different matches were SEIZED
u1ed for the day and the splendid
weather and the splendid condition of
the greens attractedinearly every mem
Der Of the club. There we're social
features galore but the interest in the
day centered in the annual Labor Day
handicap matches. The qualifying
round was played on Saturday and
with the opening of the club for the
day the players started on their
matches.
Former State Champion Fred Petsit
showed little Of his old form and de-
feated the fastest players of the club
in the Labor Day match by negotiat-
ing the thirty-six holes IN 168 strokes.

TWO WE'RE INJURED.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Murphy Injured In p
Runaway Accident Sunday.

Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Murphy Injured In
Runaway Accident Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Murphy were
seriously in jured in runaway asci-
dent on Milwaukee avenue Sunday
afternoon, the accident resulting from
a collision with an automobile driven
by L. A. Dennison. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Murphy we're badly injured but
they are able to be about today.
Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy had been Wis
iting friends at the Pennoyer Sanitar-
ium and as they started to drive out of
the grounds they met the auto. The
horse driven by Mr.. Murphy was not
accustomed to the steam carriage and
he at once became frightened. He ran
to one side of the road and Mrs. Muir
ply was thrown from the buggy, her
head striking on the curb. She was
unconscious for some time. Mr.. Muir
ply made an effort to stop the horse
but he was dragged over the dash
board and dragged for some distance
before he released his hold.
Murphy claims that the driver of the
automobile failed to use due care in
operating the machine and it is pos
sible that the case will be taken into
the court. The horse driven by Muir
ply was badly scratched up and the
vehicle was wrecked.

HARKINs WILL PLEAD GUILTY.

Leoscher on the Other Hand Takes Change
of Venue and Will Fight for Liberty.
John Harkins and Charles Leoscher.
who were arrested week ago on a
charge of burglarizing the Kenosha
Buffet, we're arraigned before Justice
Sturges Tuesday afternoon and the
former of the pair waived his exanSin=-
alton and was bound over to the cir
cult court. His bond was fixed at
fifteen hundred dollars and he return
ed to Jail. Today he announced to tho
sheriff that he would enter a plead OF
guilty to the charges against him and
it is probable that he will be sentenced
to short term in the State Reforma-
tory at Green Bay. Judge Belden wila
come to Kenosha Friday and it IS
probable that Harkins will be given a
chance to enter his plead at that time.
Leoscher refused to waive examina-
ton on the charge and demanded a
change of venue and the case was sent
to Court Commissioner Slater for a
hearing. The case will be taken M
again on Friday and the District At
torney expects to have it on the GRIM
inal calendar for the coming term OF
the circuit court. The action of Har-
kins it is thought will make it very
hard for Leoscher to escape from pun
iShment.

KENOsHA's FIRST PLUMBER.
John O'Nein Died Very Suddenly Sunday
at Anderson Hotel From Heart Failure,

John O'Nein Died Very Suddenly Sunday
at Anderson Hotel From Heart Failure,
John O'Neill, who was noted on
account of the fact that he was the
first man to engage in the plum ing
business IN Kenosha, died very snd-
denly at his room in the Anderson
hotel early Sunday morning as a result
of an attack of heart disease. DR..
Pugh was with him at the time of his
death. For some time the deceased
had been subject to the disease, but il
was thought that he was recovering
at the time the fatal stroke came.
The deceased was fifty-seven years
of age and had resided in Kenosha for
the past twenty-four years. He was a
native of Pennsylvania, and at the
time of the breaking out of the civil
war he enlisted from that state as a
volunteer, and saw several years of
service. He had an honorab BILE military
record, and his remains will be buried
in the soldiers lot in the city cemetery.
Just after the war O'Neill came to
Kenosha and d short time later opened

PICNIC A SUCCESS.
Large Crowd Attends the Annual Reunion
of the Somers Woodmen
(Commnnicated.l

(COmmun1catod)
Ihe Modern Woodman picnic at the
Petrifying Springs on Monday wasa
great success, and the weather was ALI
that could be desired. The address of
the day was delivered sby JACOB c.
kroncke, of 'Kenosha, delegate to the
head camp at Indianapolis. This was
followed by few.remarks by Conrad
Shearer, whos spoke in behalf of the
Royal Neighbors.
The base ball game in the afternoon
between the Kenosha Ramblers an0
the Pike Woods Dboys resulted ia a
score of 6 to 5, in flavor of1.the former.
This was a chief aattraction, and 1T
created considerable interest as
good ball game is always commenda-
bic on such an occasion.
1t is question, however, in the
mind of the writer whether or not il
was good policy on the part of the
management to have allowed the
gambling concerns permission to enter
the grounds and to transact business,
especially during the hour when oar
worthy speakers from Kenosha were
addressing the people. 1t is fact,
and much to be regretted, that such
money-making schemes have alwlys a
tendency to draw the people away
from the exercises of the day, which
was certainly the case on Monday.
Let. 1t not be understood, however.
that all of these people took part in
this nefarious business, but they served
as spectators, watching old men as
well as the young, boys as we'll as the
girls, pay out their money. Some of
them won others lost every cent they
put in, and worse than Ill the younger
element. many of them at least, may
look back with sorrow upon the day
when they took their first lesson in
gam bling.
Aside from this very undesirable
feature everyone appeared:to be salts
led with the pleasure and.Irecreation
derived from the days outing, and
they will look forward leach year to
this annual gathering.

The Game Sunday.

The Kenosha fans have little to say
of the game on Sunday. and the crowd
of hundred people who shivered on
the bleachers saw one of the poorest
games ever seen in Kenosha. After
the home team had safe lead of five
runs they managed to make errors
enough to allow the Blatz team to win.
Up to the ninth inning the two teams
we're tied in the score, but the Blatz
team managed to get man over the
rubber and the Kenosha men we're put
outin one, two and three fashion. The
score of the game Sunday tells the
story. 1t follows:

$500 FOR THE HOSPITAL

Danish Societies In the City Hold a Big
Picnic For Benefit of New Institution
The Danish societies in the city will
in the next few days make note
worthy contribution to the Kenosha
Hospital fund, as the big picnic of the
societies held on last Sunday proved to
be great success. The DANA Society
and the Danish Brotherhood we're the
leaders IN the plan and the greatest
crowd of the year turned out to swell
the fund. The day was made merry
one, and music and dancing prevailed
during the day.
The managers of the big picnic have
not as yet made the final figures on
the picnic, but the total amount will be
little over three hundred dollars.
