largest Resort in Wisconsin to
Be Erected at Twin Lakes
on Site Of Club House
DETAILS OF BIC RESORT FIRE
Club House Burned to the Ground and
Ten Guests Escape With Only
Their Night Clothes.

Announcement is made today that
plans are now being perfected for the
erection of new club house at Twin
Lakes to take the place of the Ger
man Club which was destroyed by
fire at an early hour Thursday morn
ing. The new resort will be the
largest Of the kind in Wisconsin. It
will be situated on the site of the
burned building, and will be ready
for the reception of guests by the first
of next May. 1t is stated that Virgil
Brand will expend 500, 900 on the new
resort.
The fire broke out in the kitchen of
the hotel shortly after one o'clock
Thursday morning and was discov-
cred by Waterman. He left the
kitchen door open to run to the room
of Mrs. Reich to notify her of the
fire and when he started to return to
the rear of the house he found his pas
sage blocked by wall of fire. The
flames spread so rapidly that it was
impossible to save anything from the
building. There were ten guests in
the hotel and the servants rushed to
the guest rooms to warn them of their
danger but even then it was too late
as the stairways were burned and the
guests were forced to save themselves
by 1eaping from the verandas to the
ground, a distance of twenty feet.
No one was seriously injured but not
one of the guests managed to save his
OF her clothing. In some of the rooms
women left costly jewe1ry and ward
robes and these were burned. One
man, a disti11er form Louisville,
whose name could not be obtained,
had left a gold watch and $248 in
paper money in his room and this was
burned up. Not vestige of the build
ing or it's contents remained when the
fire was over.
1t is impossible at this time to get
list Of the Individual losses but it is
stated that the loss will be nearly
$685. 900.
Manager Reich was in Chicago at
the time the fire occurred.

DON'T WANT MONEY.
Holder Of City Bond Keeps Bond
Unpaid Without Interest for
More Than Ten Years.
INTEREST CEASED YEARS AGO

The announcement that one of the
water company's bonds called several
years ago still remains unpaid has re-
suited in a general investigation of
the bonds of the city, and this investi-
cation has brought to light the fact
that some place and somewhere there
is person who has the greatest faith
in the ability of the city of Kenosha
10 pay it's debts. That person is the
holder of bond No. u of the readiust-
nent series of the city issued in 1885.
The bon1 issue amounted to 5000, 900
and the bonds were sold by the city
treasurer. Many people in the city,
for the sole purpose of helping the
city out of the hole, purchased one Of
the smaller bonds, and it is thought
that the holder of No. u was of this
class of purchasers.
The bond was called for payment in
1891 and the records of the North
western Loan and Trust Company
show that no interest has been paid
on the bond since the first of July,
1891. For more than thirteen years
the officers of the city have been look
ing for the man or woman who is
holding the bond. All the other
bonds of that series have been pre-
sented to the Trust Company and have
been paid.
1t is thought possible that the one
missing bond was either destroyed by
fire at some time or that it has been
taken out Of the country and that the
present owner is not aware of the fact
that it has been called and is holding
it with the belief that it is still draw
ing regular interest. The money
which was appropriated to pay the
bond and the interest can never re-
vert to the city and it must be kept in
the city repository indefinitely await
ing the presentation of the bond for
payment.

BARRIERS RAISE PRICES.
Boss BARRIERS and Journeymen to Get
Together and Raise Prices.

]
The fair sex in Kenosha have a
perfect right to start a boycott on the
barber shops in the city for at meet
ing of the boss and journeymen
BARRIERS held at the Trades and Labor
Hall last night it was decided that the
price to be charged for slampooing
the hair of member of the female
sex shall be seventy-five cents in the
future. What is more to the point
the ladies will not be permitted to
enter the barber shops after eight
O'Clock in the evening and in the
future if the women of Kenosha desire
to have their hair washed by the real
dyed in the wool tonsoria1 artists
they will have to nling1e with the men
and await their turn. This new ar
rangement will probably result in the
Ladies Home Journal taking the place
of the Police Gazette in the shops and
all of the BARRIERS will have to make
special arrangements for the ac-
commodation of their lady customers.
1t is claimed that several of the
shops in the city have large business
among the women but this business
has all been done after eight o'clock.
With the coming of the new Union Of
the BARRIERS the shops have all been
notified to close up on all nights save
Friday and Saturday at eight o'clock
and the saloon plan of having side
door will probably have to be adopted
if the patronage of the ladies is to be
continued.
The meeting between the boss bar
bers and the members of the Union
was a stormy one and it was fortunate
for the man who uses a barber shop
that there were some conservatives
among the number. AS it was a gen.
era1 advance in prices was ordered.
If man is SO unfortunate as to be i'll
he will have to pay dearly for his bar
Der work. If he lives two blocks from
the shop his shave will cost him a
half dollar and he will be forced to
pay quarter extra for every added
block walked by the barber. Fortu-
nate1y no change was made IN the
price to be charged for shaves and
hair cuts, as the motion to advance
the price of all shaves to fifteen
cents was voted down. Sea foam has
taken raise in price and in the
future it will cost you fifteen cents
instead of dime to have this 1athery
substance rubbed on the hair.
Ross 1ar hn nvono4S4oor so~
fight between the shop owners and
the new Union of the BARRIERS, over
the proposition to close the shops
every evening at eight O'Clock. One
of the BARRIERS has notified the Union
that he will not accede to the demands
and it is proba bic that others will fol-
low suit. The Journeymen believe
that as this is the first fight the Union
has made, that it should be made
successful and a strike among the
BARRIERS is one of the possibilities
Of the next few weeks.

HIGHEST TN FIFTEEN YEARS
Price of Choice Flour Now $3.50 al
Wholesale and $7.1O at Retail.

Because of the big advance in the
price of wheat since last Saturday,
mi11ers yesterday advanced flour
twenty-five cents barrel, the price
of the best grades now being $3.50 at
wholesale.
Consumers today were obliged to
pay $40 or fnore a barrel for flour,
the highest price reached in fifteen
years.
Millers say that if the damage to
the wheat crop is as great as predic-
ted, flour will retail for $500 barrel
before October 1. Even higher prices
than this figure are possible they say.

believe that as far as possible Ameri-

Admiral Walker believes that, as the
canal IS to be an American enterprise,
American labor as far as practicable,
should be employed and that this labor
should be properly compensated.
At present there is force Of about
1000 men working on the canal. The
