ONE of Illinois Judges has handed
down decision on the 'ssa1oon limit"
law which will probably be found to
be entirely applicable to conditions in
Wisconsin, and which will greatly
aid in settling the disputes which con-
stant1y arise whenever the saloons
are barred from certain districts with
IN given distances of churches or
schools. The judge holds that the
distance is to be measured in a
straight line, and not by the shortest
Travelled roads, as has always been
the contention of the saloon men, for
the reason that in the latter case the
opening of new roads would be con-
tinua11y changing the distances, and
there would always be an uncertainty
as to the exempted area. A saloon
might be we'll outside the forbidden
ground one year and by the opening
of new street be placed within the
prohibitive district the next. The
decision of the Illinois Judge will
have great weight with other Judges
in similar cases, and saloon men
whose places of business are near the
''dead line" may in the future expect
to have disputes over exempted areas
settled under this rule.

Early Pioneer Resident Of South.
port Expires at Marinette
on Monday.
DEATH DUE TO AN ACCIDENT.
Mrs. Allen Came to Kenosha in 1898
and Was an Original Daughter of
the American Revolution.

A letter was received in this CITY
last evening announcing the death of
Mrs. Harriet H. Allen, widow of the
late Joseph B. Allen, who was for
many years resident of this civ.
and who was a brother of the late
Nathan Allen, the founder of the N.
K. Aliens Sons Tannery.
Mrs. Allen died at Marinette on
Monday evening as the result of in
juries received in being knocked
down by bicycle. Mrs. Allen was a
devout member of the Methodist
church, and she was on her way to a
prayer meeting when she was run
down by reckless whee1man, The
fall resulted in the breaking of a
femur, and she was unable to ra1lv
from the shock of the accident. The
death OF Mrs. Allen will cause much
sorrow in Kenosha, as she was we'll
known to the earlier residents of the
city and had been prominent in Keno
sha for many years.
The deceased was a native of Au-
burn, N. Y, and was daughter of
Captain David Hamilton, who fought
with General Washington in the war
OF the American Revolution. AS one
OF the original daughters of the Revo-
luton, Mrs. Allen has been widely
known throughout Wisconsin and the
nation.
ohe was a woman of remarkable
physical and mental vigor, preserving
both her strength of body and mind
until the accident which was the cause
OF her death Mrs. Allen was ninety
four years of age.
Mrs. Allen came with her husband
to Kenosha in 1883 and had resided
here until about twenty years ago.
when She went to Marinette to make
her home. Few women were better
known among the pioneers of the city.
The blood of her forefathers was
plainly shown in the daughter. and
she did much for the betterment of
Kenosha in those pioneer days. A
devont Christian woman, she had
been member of the Methodist
church for the past seventy-four
years, and she was one of the found
ers OF the congregation of that denom-
inatlon in Southport.
Mrs. Allen was especially beloved
by the railway men in this section of
the state on account of her noble
work in caring for the dead and dying
at the time of the disastrous wreck
on the bridge near Kenosha in 1868.
Since that time she had been known
to the railroad men as "Grandma"
Allen Of Marinette, and many of these
men will pause today to drop tear in
her memory.
Mrs. Allen is survived by four chill
dren, Jay Allen, of Green Bay; Frank
Allen, of Marinette; Mrs. A1drich, of
Green Bay, and Mrs. Woodward, of
California.
The funeral will be held at Green
Bay tomorrow.

GET READY FOR DEFEAT.
Racine Papers Making Preparations
to Break the Fall of Their Idol.

Racine Papers Making Preparations
to Break the Fall of Their Idol.
1t is evident that the Racine base
ball team is expecting TO lose the
game at Central Park on Sunday next
and the Racine Journal is preparing
for an easy drop for the idol of the
Belle City.
Of course the Racine management
has no idea of defeating Kenosha,
and the cry is to be made against the
Kenosha park, which is considered
one of the best in the state. In speak
ing of the park the Racine Journal
has the following to say:
'Kenosha has unusual conditions in
her favor. The nature of the dia-
mond on which she defeats her oppo-
nents gives her an inca1cu1ab1e ad-
vantage in every game. Not one
base ball diamond in a thousand, even
in the prairie leagues, will be as rank
as the Kenosha field.
The players founder around in sand
and rough ground, more than ankle
deep IN many places. Having prac-
ticed on the grounds great deal, the
Kenosha team can make some sort of
showing there, but in every case the
visiting team is handicapped by the
sand.
It is the opinion of the Racine fans
that the local team is faster than any
team Kenosha ever had, but they
realize that the sandy diamond will
give Steinback's team an advantage
1t is therefore their intention to de-
feat the Kenoshas if possible, next
Sunday, and if impossible, to prove
on the following Sunday, just how
much prestige Kenosha loses when
playing on the sort Of grounds that
are used by leading league and semi
professional teams throughout the
country

ENToMoLoGIsT say that the shade
trees can be saved from the "cotton
moth" if they are treated in a sys-
tematic and scientific manner, but
that the continued neglect of the trees
will surely result in their being all
destroyed by the pest. Some species
will last longer than others, but in the
end all will shccumb. In the past
two years the pest has done great
damage in Kenosha, but if what the
entomo1ogists say is true the city
is to suffer still more and almost
irreparab1e damage will be done.
Try to imagine what the city would
be like without it's beautiful shade
trees! Property owners will do well
to give this matter their serious at
tention as the depreciation in the
value of property for residence pur-
poses will be something enormous if
the trees are all destroyed.

GAME WARDENs, COME HIGH.
Assistant Warden Reinardy Draws
$243.S2 for May and June.

$243.S2 for May and June.
The report of the state treasurer for
the months of May and June has fur
nished some interesting figures for
the people of Kenosha county to con-
slider in the bills sent to the state by
Assistant Game Warden Charles B.
Reinardy.
In those two months Mr.. Reinardy
received from the state treasury the
sum of $243.82, being divided as fol-
lows: For salary and expenses for
May STA; for salary and expenses for
June $129.82.
An examination of the justice court
dockets in the city shows that Rein
ardy did not make an arrest in this
county during the time specified.
Of course the job is pretty fat one
for Reinardy, but there are some of
the people who pay good money for
hunting licenses that will question
the Judgment of the state in throw
ing away money in this fashion.

THE discussion of good roads in
connection with rural free delivery
routes is to be brought up at the COM
ing convention of Wisconsin post
masters. BETTER roads are needed in
many parts of the state to facilitate
the delivery of mail to farmers, and
the fact that the postmasters will be
able to show them where they will be
directly benefited is expected to help
the good roads movement along i'm
mense1y by interesting the farmers.
And the farmer is the man whom the
promoters of the movement have got
to get interested before any substan-
tia1 progress can be made; but once
let him be convinced that good roads
are to his direct personal benefit and
the desired Improvement will be made
in short order. He will see to it that
all the roads in the state are passaD1e
at all seasons, and that the money
raised for road repairs is inte11igent1y
expended and not frittered away as it
is now.

THE business done by the street
railway company is certainly large
enough to warrant the officials in
making the needed extensions of the
lines, and in all probability the south
branch of the road will be built this
summer. There is little doubt but
that this proposed extension would
pay running expenses III the winter
and return large profits to the COM
pany on it's summer traffic. The
owners of the road seemed disposed to
accede to any reasonable request for
portation facilities from any
part of the city, and as the people
from the south end are urgent in their
demands for the service, unless some
thing unforeseen happens, they will be
accommodated as soon as the question
of paving South Exchange street is
settled.

The notice given by the noxious
weed commissioners ran out Satur-
day, and property owners who have
not cleared their lands of noxious
weeds may now look for visit from
the commissioners at any time. The
commissioners will do the work-of
course at the expense of the land own
ers. Any property owner who has
any idea of improving his holdings is
interested in seeing this law enforced,
and public opinion will undoubtedly
be on the side of the commissioners if
they go ahead and carry out the law
to the very letter. A few years rigid
enforcement of the noxious weed laws
would work wonders, and half the
trouble and expense of keeping prop
erty in a presentah1e condition would
be done away with. AS it is now,
every man who tries to keep up his
place is taxed for the care1essness of
others, and one little neglected plat
of ground can keep a whole neighDor-
hood at work for years.

WANT TO KEEP FLAG
Some Of the Members Of First
Wisconsin Oppose Capt.
Timme's Plan.
CLAIM FLAG IS SACRED.

The members of the First Wisconsin
infantry are beginning to protest
against Capt. Timme, of this city,
sending back to Nashville the flag
captured from the First Tennessee
regiment and it is possible that Capt.
Timme will not be able to carry out
his intention on account of the storm of
protest that has been raised. VIM. H.
Richardson, one of the survivors of
the company, has questioned the right
Of Capt. Timme to return the flag and
in an open letter to the Milwaukee
Sentinel he calls attention to the
capture of the flag and the men who
should have possession of it. The
letter follows:
TO the Editor of the Sentinel:
| read in your paper of Saturday
last that Capt. E. G. Timme, of Keno
sha, was about to extend a courtesy
to the survivors of the First Tennes-
see regiment by presenting to them a
flag captured by him and some other
soldiers of the First Wisconsin vo1un-
teer infantry Eat the battle of Perry
vile, KY, in 1861" There is an error
IN the date of the battle. The battle
was fought on Oct s, 1862. There is
also an error as to who captured the
flag. Stanley Rice, of Co. H, First
Wisconsin Volunteer infantry, was the
man. In a memoranda of Co. H, made
up long after Rice was promoted to
some other regiment as sergeant, the
short sentence reads as follows:
"This company captured the battle
flag of the First Tennessee regiment
and lost one-ha1f our men killed and
wounded"
Lieut.. H. E. Wood of this place and
myself were in that battle, and stayed
to the finish. Comrade Wood SAYS
that Rice saw the flag first, and said:
Wood, see that flag? Let's go and
get it. They started, and Captain
Carey, who died at St. Louis this
summer, called Wood back. Rice ran
out some two or three rods in front of
our line and picked up the flag and
brought it into our lines, receiving
for his daring deed a bullet through
his cap close to his temple. Col.
Starkweather saw him come in with
it, and said to him: "My boy, that
will be feather in your cap Rice
went to rest many years ago.
| would ask one question:: From
whom does Capt. Timne get his right
to return that flag? It belongs in the
state capitol. 1t was there the last
time I saw it. Yours truly,
WILLIAM II. RICHARDSON,
Co. H, 1st Reg. Vol. Unfit
The flag came into the possession Of
Captain Timme several years ago
while the Kenosha man was in the
office of secretary of state. At that
time there was a general cleaning up
OF the WISCONSIN relics of the civil
war, and many of the relics which had
been held sacred by different compa-
MES were discarded on account of
lack of room. Among the flags that
there was no room for was the Ten
nessee flag, and Captain Timme
offered to take care of it, and it was
given to him by the custodian. He
has held it ever since and holds that
he has right to do as he p1eases
with it.

THANKSGIVING Turkey Cookery

The turkey has been weighed and
found wanting on it's native heath.
America, and by no less parsonage
to England, this brilliant artist had
many things to say in criticism OF the
United States, including the following
pointed remark:
THE turkey whom we originally
owe to America, appears to my mind
to less advantage on his native soil
than he does in the land of his adop-
ton. He is a bit tasteless and inslpid
over there, and is garnished with a
particularly tasteless form of stufilng
of which one readily tires"
Where and with whom did Mr.. Jones
dine that he should have such a poor
opinion of our turkey? Every house,
wife knows just the unsavory form OF
stuffing Mr.. Jones means. Sometime
somewhere she has been unfortunate
enough to have her turkey spoiled by
the introduction of a bread-and milk
poultice in lieu of a toothsome COM
pound.
But did Mr.. Jones, in his American
travels, dining with millionalres, never
eat truffied turkey? Or In some of
those Boston homes where he was
made welcome, did no one ever glad
den his eye and his taste with a Rhode
Island bird stuffed with chestnuts? II
not, Mr.. Jones should come again, and
visit some more modest household
where, even with oyster stufiing, he
will often find a turkey dellcIously
savory.
The Incompatible American bird, IL
1t is to sustain its reputation, must be
selected with great care. II for roast
ing buy a Young hen turkey piurnp
with a whitish skin that is clean and
soft, the legs black, the breast broad
and the neck short. The flesh OF an
old hen is usually covered with long
hairs, the legs are rough and of red
dish purple color.
Capons, which may once In a while
be obtained, are very choice, as they
are juicy and extremely tender. They
are also high-priced. Gobblers have
a stronger flavor than the female bird,
and are not so plump. The spurs are
long, and the flesh often Of a reddish
color. There are so many devices
nowadays for preserving food an I'M
considerable time, that Il is best to
buy Of a reputable dealer. The APP
pearance OF the head and feet in dress
ed poultry shows something of its age
and condition. In good stock, the feet
will be soft and flexible; the eyes full
and bright, and the flesh white. In
that which has been kept too long the
feet are dry and hard, flesh dark-color-
ed and eyes sunken and dull.
Old turkeys are best boiled or cook
ed in the kettle until nearly tender,
then stuffed and Drowned In the oven.
When the bird is ready to cook, first
SINCE the skin. The small alcohol lamp
is most convenient for this. Pass the
