Many Bills Affecting Kenosha People Are
Now Before the State Legislature.

Many Bills Affecting Kenosha People Are
Now Before the State Legislature.
Z The news from the Legislative halls
at Madison shows that there are many
bills now pending before the session OF
great interest to the people of Kenosha
and the destiny of these bills will be
closely watched by the people of the
city.
The bill which requires the restraint
of dogs bitten by other animals which
it is feared have hydrophobia, is GER
tainly a very unique measure. 1t pro-
vides that if notice is served on the
owners of canine that the dog has
been bitten, the owner must shut up
the dog for period of fifty days, or
until after all danger of hydrophobia is
passed. If the owner fails to shut up
his dog, then the general public is al
lowed to get after the canine and exc
cute him. This remarkable piece of
proposed legislation is fathered by AS
semblyman G. H. Smith.
The anti saloon league has bill be-
fore the Assembly which will make
long walks for drinks necessary if a
person happens to live in town
which has gone "dry" in license
election, The bill provides that no
saloon shall be allowed within mile
of any village which has voted no
license.
Opponents of lax divorce laws all
over the State are taking great inter
est ia the bill of Assem- lyman Mer-
ton, providing that one year must
elapse between the granting and the
entry Of judgment ia divorce case,
and that evidence must be presented
before the final entry that the would
be Divorces have not lived together
during the year. Mr.. Merton says he
believes if the bill should become a
law many couples who separate would
become reunited.
The bill which has been introduced
by Assemblyman McGillivray provid
ing for the taxation of bank deposits
by a fixed tax of one-fourth of per
cent will be bill which will cause a
stir Ia the Legislature before the SEES
sion is over.

it is to be found in any rural New Eng
land village at the present time, and
the popular heart will be touched and
the popular fancy will be caught by
its forceful story, its scenes of every
day hornelylife, its quaint characters,
its abundance of Wholesome fun and
its picturesque stage setting. 1t is ad-
mirably staged and will be presented
by the original cast.

Mrs. William Cole, of Pleasant Prairie
Remains in a Painting Spell for
Over Fifty-Six Hours.
TAINTED AT A CHURCH SERVICE.
RestOratlves Used by the Physicians Fail to
Restore the Woman and it Is not known
Whether She is Dead or Alive.
From Mondays Daily. }

A strange case of suspended ANNA
ton is puzzliug the doctors of the vii
lage of Pleasant Prairie. The patient
is Mrs. VIM. B. Cole and she has been
in a fainting spell since seven O'Clock
on last Friday evening. For more
than fifty-six hours she has not moved
from the bed and the doctors who are
watching con tinually al the bedside
are unable to tell whether the wona n
is dead or alive. Once, late Sunday
night, the eyes of the patient seemed
to open and it was thought that her
baud moved little, but if it did the
woman at once lapsed into her uncon
scious condition and no further change
was noticed.
Mrs. Cole is one Of the leaders of the
church in Pleasant Prairie and is of a
deeply religious nature. She was in
perfect health on Friday evening when
she left her home to attend the service
at the church and during the service
she assisted in the singing. Just be-
fore the service closed Mrs. Cole fell
over in her seat and seemed to have
tainted. AS soon as possible she was
moved to the ante room of the church
and restoratives were applied but they
seemed to have no affect on her condi-
ton and she remained perfectly limp
and helpless.
She was taken to her home short
distance from the church and doctors
were hurriedly summoned to attend
her. They applied all the restoratives
known to their science but none of
them seemed to have any effect on the
condition of the woman and her body
remains limp and motionless. Sunday
other physicians were called in but
their efforts were equally unavailing.
The doctors think it possible that Mrs.
Cole has been paralyzed but her
symptoms do not conform to the usual
form of paralysis.
The case has caused great excite
ment in the community and the neigh
bors are carefully watching the de-
velopmeut of the case. Since the
fainting spell came over the woman
she has not been able to take any
nourishment and the only food given
her has been placed IN her stomach by
means of tube. The organs Of the
body seem to be in working order but
the woman lies on the bed with her
eyes closed and is insensible to every
thing about her.

MAKES FIRST CLAIM.

Frank Schultz asks the Kenosha Electric
Railway Company TO Pay for a Horse
The Kenosha Electric Railway COM
pany has had its first taste of a claim
for damages, and Frank Schultz is the
first claimant. During the building Of
the line and while the crossings at
Elizabeth street were being put in
Schultz was driving over the crossing
and it is claimed that the leg of the
horse was caught in one of the holes
left by the agents of the company in
building the crossing.
The horse, according TO the claim of
Schultz; was SO seriously injured as to
be rendered valueless. He estimates
his loss at SIPS. A similar claim has
been presented to the city of Kenosha
and to the Northwestern company.
If all the claims are paid the horse of
Schultz will prove a most valuable one.

Very few of'us know of the good
work the Presbyterian Hospital of Chi
cago is doing for Kenosha. Over fifty
persons have been sent from here

mands, the : is a strong effort being

Old FavOrites Return to KenOsha With a
New Offering for Theatre Goers.
Edward and Libbie Arnold B1onde11,
the two old Kenosha favorites, greeted
a packed house at the Rhode opera
house with their new play, Through
the Center of the Earth" Sunday
evening.
The Blondells have been famous for
years on account of their vaudeville
act and the new play is simply a new
vehicle for the introduction of their
specialties. 1t is beautifully staged
and the mechanical effects are of a
dazzling nature.
Mr.. and Mrs. Blondell are still the
bright stars of the company but they
have associated with themselves d
number of clever people from the
vaudeYilles and the entertainment is
bright, catchy and thoroughly up to
date. OF course there is a great deal
of the original "Katzenj TANNER Kids
In the new play but there is enough
new stuff to make the play worth see
ing a second time.
Among the specialties deserving
special mention was the dancing of
Clorine, the Hennings, the contortion-
lists, Zeda and Eden and the Cosmo
politan Trio. The play made a distinct
hit in Kenosha and return date
would undoubtedly be welcome.

POOR PEOPLE
SAID TO MAKE BETTER CITI.
ZENS THAN THE RICH.

Chicago, June 1S-"The great rich
people do not make the good citizens.
They don't help our civic pride or our
civic conditions. In New York we
have the extremes of society-the
worst of the immigrants and these
over-rich people. The middle classes
are the best citizens.
In these words DR.. Rainsford, rector
of st. Georges church, New York,
gave his views Of social conditions to
members Of the bureau Of charities at
the annual meeting in the Kenwood
Evangelical church.

tinued DR.. Rainsford, Gin the distri.
button Of our ministers and our
churches. We send the weak minis
tiers to the places where even the

have the good preacher where life is
crushed, the fine church and the good
music where the poor have little of
beauty to see."

He then got the route from Stony
Point to watauga Bend, q distance OF

for ten years, walking continually.
He made the round trip Of twenty
miles daily.
Five years ago he was transferred
back to his old route between johnson
City and Stony Point and walked six.
teen miles . day. He continued to
carry the mail on this route until the
postofiice was wiped cot vita al! the
others in the county, and now he is
without a job.
Archer in his idleness has been
figuring up what he has done for the
government, and he finds by calcula-
tion that he has walked 1874. ITO miles

years, or lacking about 300 miles Of
having walked around the world Ave
times. He thinks he has the worlds
record for walking.
While he holds this record, he has
