DON'T WANT STATION.


Lake Bluff Willing to Have Station Lo-
Gated at Kenosha or Any Other Point
Lake Bluff and north shore residents
are preparing to object to the govern
ment's supposed plan to establish a
naval training station in the suburb.
Frederick w. Cornish, president Of
the village board, yesterday called a
meeting of the board for tonight to
consider what steps shall be taken in
laying the objections before the
authorities at Washington.
The views of the DIRECTORS were
stated in a circular letter. One point
of protest was that all the towns be-
tween Lake Bluff and Fort Sheridan
would find themselves between fort
and a naval station. Troubles grow
ing out of actions of privates at Fort
Sheridan we're cited.
"The residents of the north shore
sub urbs, said the letter, ''obiect to
having the new naval training station
located at Lake Bluff. They find
through the secretary of the navy that
this is not naval college, as was sup
posed, but naval recruiting station,
where the government will enlist 6, 900
men and boys each year. After keep
ing them for a few months it will
select 2,OOcof the best and send them
to the east, where they will be put on
vessels, the other 1900, known as
cu11s, being turned loose.
'SThe residents of this beautiful
north shore district are Mortified at
the thought of this scum of humanity
being released in their midst Many
of these people, after being attracted
to this station to get plenty to eat and
drink for few months, will be turned
free to become menace to the safety
of the community.
'These people are at a loss to under
stand why the government should ever
consider the idea f locating a naval
station along this shore, where there
is nothing but high bluff without
any inland body of water or chance of
ever making one, and with scarcely
possibility of constructing an outer
harbor.''

William Irving, Formerly of Ke-
nosha, Meets Death. in a
Wreck in Chicago.
DIED AT COOK co. HOSPITAL.
Son of Robert Irving One of the Vic
Tins of Terrible Railway Wreck in
Chicago on Wednesday Afternoon

William Irving, formerly of Keno
sha and son of Robert Irving, who
formerly lived just south of the city
limits on the sand road, was killed in
the wreck which occurred in Chicago
on Wednesday afternoon when a
crowded trolley car bound for the
Hawthorne Park races ,co11ided with a
train on the Chicago and Great West
ern railway.
The former Kenosha man was one
of the four killed and more than a
score were injured in the wreck.
Irving, who is twenty-four years
old, has resided at Oak Park since he
left Kenosha some eight years ago.
He had been working at his trade of a
plumber and had given up his work on
Wednesday afternoon for an outing.
Young Irving had occupied a seat
in the front trolley car, and he was
still alive when he was taken from the
pile Of debris. He was hurriedly re-
moved to the Cook County hospital,
and there it was discovered that his
right leg had been SO badly injured
that amputation would be necessary.
While the operation was being per-
formed Irving died.
Irving was young man Of great
business ability and great favorite
among the younger class in Kenosha.
He was a brother of Mrs. Edward Fan
ming who resides in Kenosha.
Young Irving's death is made es-
pecia1ly pathetic on account of the
fact that he had just been making ar
engagements for his marriage and it
was reported that he was to have been
married to Miss Lee Schrader of Chi
cago before the close of the present
year.
The news OF the death of the young
man caused great deal of sorrow
among his friends and relatives in
Kenosha.

Everywhere I find progressive
schoolnlen turning with leenest atten-
ton to watch the work the depart
ment Of education is carrying on in
the great lecture system. And feel
ing that the metropolis is but antici-
pating the movement which must be-
come universal in all advanced
communities.
Besides the song-1ectures given on
this system, which must of course be
primarily educational in character
Miss Runals has spent much time in
reparingswhat she styles song-narra-
tives in which she skil1ful1y interweav-
es many immortal songs with thrilling
stories IN way peculiarly her own,
which once heard are not easily for
gotten. These unique entertainments
have been enthusiastically received in
New York City and vicinity. Ralph
Connors popular 'Sky Pilot and
''B1ack Rock" are said to be most
vivid portraya1s of life in the great
northwest. Of this song narrative the
"Passaic Herald" of Dec. Goth says:
almost before one realized it Miss
Runals had swung the audience into
Christmas eve celebration in west
ern n1ning-camp. causing all to see
the hardy miners and hear their shouts
and jingling sleigh bells. The fall of
a pin could be heard in any part of the
great hall, during the entire recital"
Miss Runa1s will appear at the
Guild hall Friday evening, Aug 20. DIV

Report of Secretary Of Old Set
tiers Club Shows Pioneers
are Dying Fast.
F0RTY-EIGHT DIED IN YEAR.
Secretary Roberts Gives Out List of
Have Died Since Last Meeting.

Whenthe old settlers gather at Pad
docks Lake for their annual reunion
on next Thursday, there will be many
vacant chair. Secretary Roberts Of
Woodwork has completed his obitu-
airy list for the year and it shows that
forty-eight of the pioneer settlers of
the county have passed to the Great
Beyond since the last gathering of
the club members.
The large number on the roll shows
that the ranks of the pioneers are
rapidly growing shorter and the list
of deaths recorded for the past twelve
months is longer than in anyoprevi-
Gus year.
Among the list of those who have
been gathered to their fathers are
many men and women who came to
Kenosha county before Southport had
taken on even the airs of a village,
among the number are men who have
had great records as warriors, fighting
for the flag of their country, and there
are several who have done noble serv-
ice in the great army of peace by fill
ing with honor positions of trust in
the gift of the people.
All of these pioneers did not die in
the county but they will have the
honor of receiving the silent tribute
of memory at the gathering of the
early residents of the county.
On the list, as prepared by the sec
rotary, the oldest person mentioned is
Mrs. Parmelia Andruss of the town of
Bristol, who died at the extreme age
of ninty-seven years, the second old
est person who had died in the county
during the year was Mrs. Esther
Goodrich, who lived to the Gage of
ninty-fve years.
Many of the old settlers lived to be
over four score years of age and there
were none to die under the age of
hfty-five years.
The most remarkable among the
deaths of pioneers in the city was that
of Henry Williams who was for many
years mayor of the city. Another
death of interest in Kenosha was the
death of Mrs. ]. H. Kimbal1, but she
is not n1entionedsamong the pioneers
on account, of sthe fact that she did
not come to Kenosha until the early
sixties.
Many of the pioneers have died far
from home, amongsthis number being
Thomas G. Kearns who was famous
as a soldier during the days of the
civil war, Layfette Woodwork who
died in California, and John w. Mer-
rill, a former leading business; man,
who died in Florida. The entire list
as furnished by the secretary is as
follows:

TRAMPs GETTING BUSY AGAIN.

Tramps are again menacing the

the empty cars of the North Western
road are proving to be veritab1e tramp
hotels. They come into the city at
nightfal1 and beg their board from
house to house. The sheriff and the
police should form combination and
drive these men out of the state. It
is only short distance to the Illinois

ing them out would be well spent
