ALL backyards, alleys, streets,
.catchbasins and places where the filth
which breeds disease has of necessity
been allowed to accumulate during
the long cold winter, should be given
a thorough cleaning as soon as pos
sib1e after the snow goes. The severe
weather and deep snow this season
have prevented the usual removals of
garbage, street cleaning, ETC., and for
this reason the usual spring house
cleaning of the city should be even
more thorough than ever this year.
Kenosha has had enough sickness
this winter and the risk Of having
some contagious disease spread by
any neglect to take proper precaution
to put the city in a sanitary condition
should be avoided.

lanes BuIIamOre Who Spent Ten Years
Seeking to Have His Wife Join
Him Finally Gives Up.
ASKS DIVORCE FROM SPOUSE
Veteran of the Civil War States That His
Wife Will Not Come West and He Can
Not Live In Philad eIphia.

After waiting ten years for.his wife
to come West and join him, John
Bu1lamore, a veteran of the civil war
residing in the town of sSomers, has
filed a suit in the circuit court at Ra-
cine, asking for divorce from his
wife, Olivia Bu11amore.
He sets up desertion as the cause Of
his complaint.
Bu11amore is one of the oldest men
in the county and he has lived with
relatives in Somers for a decade,
hoping in vain that his wife would see
fit to come West and join him in build
ing up new home for her.
Bu11amore was soldier with a rec
ord in the war. AS a member of one
of the Philadelphia regiments, he
saw great deal of service and gained
distinction several times on the battle
field. After the war was over he re-
turned to Philadelphia and went into
business and he and his wife lived in
domestic tranquility for many years.
Mrs. Bu11amore had been born and
bred in the East, and when her hus-
band decided to come West to Keno
sha county in 1898, she declined to
join him in the trip.
There was no trouble between the
two, but Bul1amore came to the con-
c1usion that he could rake more
leaving his wife behind, he came to
Somers and took up his residence
with relatives.
Following the business of can
vasser he managed to make a good
living, and short time later he wrote
to his wife and asked her to join him.
Then he began his long wait for the
coming of his spouse. He received
plenty of letters from her, and all
these years he has been sending her
money for her support.
In 1895, Bu11amore got tired of wait
ing for the coming of his wife and he
went to Philadelphia in hopes that
she would come back with him. He
remained there two weeks and at the
end of that time his business de-
manded his return to Wisconsin.
Mrs. Bu11amore did not come with
him but the husband did not give up
hope and his letters continued to ap-
peal to her to join him in his new
home. He has never returned to
Philadelphia, and after the nine years
of separation he has decided that he
will not make any further efforts to
have his wife become a native of Wis
consin. It is not thought that Mrs.
Bu11amore will contest the suit and
the divorce will probably be granted.

WAS A TRAGIC EVENT
Death of Frederick Ioerndt Recalls the
Loss of the Fishing Boats Off
Ken0Sha in 1874.
EIGHT FISHERMEN DROWNED.

The death of Frederick Joerndt
which occurred at his home on Middle
street last Sunday has recalled one of
the most tragic incidents in the his
tory of the city of Kenosha and last
night when the old German families
gathered about the fresides all of
them were discussing the loss of the
fishermen.
The accident which was referred to
occurred on the afternoon of April s.
1874. The day had been a c1oud1ess
one until late in the afternoon and the
kenosha fleet of five fishing boats had
gone out into the lake to lift the nets.
Late III the afternoon when the boats
were nearly into the harbor a great
storm came up and before the storm
was over two of the boats had gone
down with their entire crews on board.
One of the boats which managed to
make the harbor was owned by Fred
erick' Joerndt and Mr.. Joerndt was on
board. Before the three boats made
the harbor the men on board were
submitted to terrible suffering and it
was miracle that any of them escap-
ed from the storm.
The night of April will always be
considered as the most horrible night
ever knowniin Kenosha. For hours
the relatives of the doomed fishermen
walked the harbor piers hoping
againstShope that the men might be
able to fight against the fierceness of
the storm. All the boats got in sight
of the harbor and the men on the piers
were forced to stand by and watch
their friends go to watery graves with
out being able to aid them. Each of
the boats that went down had four
men on board. For weeks after the
accident occurred the people of the
city patro11ed the lake shore expect
ing the bodies of the men to come in.
Fred Borkenhagen who was in charge
of one of the boats was found the
next morning near Waukegan. and
Christian Jensen one of the sailors
was found at Evanston two weeks
later. The next body found was that
of Christian Hansen which was pick
ed up three miles south of the city
early in July, the body of Charles
Schrunk was found near the same
place short time later and that of
August Raeder was washed into the
harbor later in the summer. The
body of August Ramp was found near
the mouth of Pike Greek late in the
fall and the last body to be recovered
was that of John Arndt, the captain
of one of the boats, which was picked
up off,Waukegan. The body of Jos.
Arndt was never recovered and it still
sleeps beneath the waves of the lake.

GERMAN SYRUP

We want to impress on our readers
that Boschee's German Syrup is posi-
lively the only preparation on the
market today that does relieve and
cure consumption. It contains the
specifics, such as pure tar, extracts of
gums, ETC., which has been so highly
endorsed for the cure of coughs, colds
and consumption by the great medical
congresses. The consumptive, whether
his disease is in the throat or lungs,
must have rest at night, and be free
from the spasm of dry and racking
cough in the morning. The diseased
parts want rest, healing and soothing
treatment, and the patient needs fresh
air, good food, etc. German Syrup
will give free and easy expectoration
in the morning with speedy and per-
manent relief. Small bott1es,25 cents;
regular size, containing nearly four
times as much, IS cents. At all drug

VILLAS WIN OUT
"a
Racine Nine Pin Players Defeat the
Independents For State Cham. N
pionship by n Points.
OF INTEREST TO sPoRTsMEN


The final match between the indie
pendent bowling club of this city and
the Villa club, of Racine, for the state
nine pin championship was played in
Racine Tuesday night and the Keno
sha team lost to the Villas by total
of twenty-seven points. A great calm
reigns over the tents of the famous
old rollers this morning and to find
out anything about the game is like
getting blood out of a turnip.
The Kenosha boys have absolutely
nothing to say more than to admit
that they paid their good money over
to the victors and handed them the
state championship on a silver platter.
The horrible details of the match are
lacking but it is only necessary to
state that the Kenosha team lost three
out of the four games and that their
big victory of week ago was more
than wiped out by the victorious Ra-
cine team. Of course the alley was a
little different from the alleys in Ke-
nosha and this in measure accounts
for the loss Of the championship.
After the match was over Captain
Harbert, of the Kenosha team, cha1-
1enged the Racine team to another
match for a purse of hundred dollars
side, but the Racine team had their
feet b1anketed and it is hardly proba-
bic that the challenge will be ac-
canfRd
