THE KINoDRoME SHOW.

For next Sunday night, Oct. 2nd.,
Manager Rhode offers for the first
time this season the Kinodrome Show.
This is the excellent exhibition of
motionspictures that has been seen in
this city before, and as in the past,
comes back with an entire new pro-
gram Of the latest picture inventions.
The Kinodrome Show is the road at
traction sent ont by the company that
operates the picture machine in every
leading theatre in this country, and
the exhibition offered here will be Of
the same excellent kind enjoyed for
years IN the metropolitan theatres.
Motion pictures are becoming more
popular every day, although in the
eighth year Of their existence. This
fact is due alone to the many in
genious and clever ideas involved in
arranging and making the views and
the Improvement made III their pro-
lection as the time goes on.
The Kinodrome Show next Sunday
night will exhibit many new and novel
scenes that depart entirely from the
weatherbeaten variety seen in the
past. Popular prices will prevail.

CAPTAIN CROSBY GETS WEIGHED.

Genial Captain Crosby, OF the
steamer G. H. Starke, is spending a
few days in Kenosha, and as usual he
IS furnishing a little sport for the
boys. Yesterday afternoon the Cap
tain insisted on being weighed and
went to one Of the scales in the tan
merry building for this purpose. When
he got on the scales he found that he
tipped the beam at 2o4 pounds, and
feeling like champion he went to
the Office Of the plant and declared
that he was rapidly taking on flesh.
In moment one Of the employees of
the tannery came Ia and offered to
bet him a dollar that he didn't weigh
275 pounds, and the Captain, with a
crafty 1eer took the bet so quick that
the man betting couldn't count out his
money. Then the Captain weighed
again and discovered to his chagrin
that the scales had been tempered
with. He weighed on half the scales
in town during the afternoon, but the
best he could do was III. It cost him
. seven dollar box Of cigars to get ont
of the bet.

FIND HUMAN BONES.
Skeleton of a Primeval Resident
Unearthed on Farm of John
Sanborn ia Salem.
MAY BE SKELETON OF. INDIAN.

While digging on his farm in the
town of Salem last week John San
born, who resides near the village of
W1lmot, unearthed the skeleton of an
unknown man. The bones were not
enclosed in boxor coffin and no other
trace of the remainder of the BODY
was found. The skeleton was, I'M
doubtedly, that of human being and
it was SO large that the men who have
examined it declare that it must
have belonged to a very powerful
man. It is thought that it is the ske1e-
ton of some Indian who formerly re-
sided in that portion of the county.
The skeleton was buried under sew
eral feet of earth and it is thought
that It had been in the ground for
many years.
The town of Salem was at one time
the home of many Indians and there
were few of them left when the first
settlers came in the early forties.
Near the town is the resting place of
several of the chiefs or the Winnie
there are many graves on the other
side of the Fox river from the farm of
Sanborn. Several of these graves
have been opened in recent years and
in one of them collection of weapons
dating back many decades was
found. The people residing in the
neighborhood seem to think that the
opening of the other graves would
prove decidedly interesting for the
people of the state who are DESTROYS
of investigating the early history of
this section of Wisconsin. Sanborn
will retain the skeleton dug up on his
premises as a relic.
The finding of the skeleton caused
a report to be circulated that crime
had been committed, but there is
little reason to believe that this is the
case, and it is probable that the ske1-
eton is that of some Indian who fell
by the. wayside in the early times.

SEEK NEW STREET.
Street Railway Company Now
Seeks to Secure a Franchise
on Ashland Avenue.
OPPOSITION is GETTING BUSY

The street railway company is still
busy seeking route to get the road
out Of Kenosha to the Southwark and
on account of the opposition that has
come from the people on Park avenue
the company is now seeking to secure
the consent of the property owners on
Ashland avenue for the building of
the line along that thoroughfare. To
this end a petition is being circulated
among the property owners on the
street and while the petition is not in
the hands of any of the managers of
the railway company it is claimed
that it is being circulated at the direc-
ton of the company.
On the other hand the fight for the
use of the street will not be passive
one, and the opposition to the petition
is already at work and the plans of
the company will probably be met
with considerable opposition. Up to
the present time it is claimed that
thirty owners of property on the street
have signed the petition granting
consent for the building of the line,
but it is said that number of the
signers are not residents Of the city,
but own property situated below the
south limits of the city. These peo-
pie, of course, will have no weight
with the council in deciding the mat
ter of granting the franchise.
Alderman John Hegeman, the only
alderman residing on the street, has
announced that he is opposed to the
street being appropriated by the rail
way company, and he will probably
lead the opposition against the coming
of the road.
Ashland avenue from the first was
considered the Legitimate street for
the electric road, and in every fran
chise save the one now in use this
road was contained in the list of
streets granted to the companies.
The Park Avenue project seems to
have been dropped, and it is claimed
that the people opposing the road on
that street have secured more than
the third of the property owners
needed to defeat any franchise of this
nature.

John Hanrath, Of Bristol, Contests
Efforts to Have Him hd-
judged Insane.
OFTEN MISSING FROM HOME
Relatives Declare that He Has Threat
ened to Take Their Lives and is
Dangerous Character.

A most interesting case of alleged
insanity has been brought to the no.
tice Of the county Judge by residents
of the town of Bristol, who have asked
that John Hanrath, who is we'll known
in that town, and who is the tenant on
the farm of Attorney James Cavan-
agh, be sent to some Of the hospitals
for the insane in the state. nHanrath
was brought to the city by deputy
sheriff Becker Friday, and was ex-
an1ined at the county jail Saturday
by DR.. Stevens, of Bristol, and DR..
Adams, of the Sanitarium. For some
time the actions of Hanrath have at
tracted considerable notice in the
town of Bristol. 1t is alleged that he
refused to live at his home, and that
for weeks he would spend theRtime
roaming about the woods, ,preferring
to live out in the open. Hanrath adj
mits that he has spent considerable
OF his time in this way, but he insists
that domestic troubles have been the
cause Of his leaving home, and that
IN the past two years and aha1f his
wife and children have practically
taken the management of the farm
from him, and that he had no place
at home to stay.
About year ago Hanrath sdisap-
peared from his home in Bristol and
it was some time before he could be
located. When he was finally found
it was discovered that he had come to
Kenosha and had drawn what money
he had from the bank and had gone to
Cleveland and had been visiting with
brother in that city. He returned
to Bristol as mysterious1y asshe left
and went back to work on tthe farm.
Since that time his relatives declare
that he has been disappearing at in
tervals and that it is impossible for
them to do anything with him. They
declare that in fits of violent temper
he has threatened that hesawou1d kill
members of the family and that the
lives of these people area being en-
dangered.
Hanrath sat at the jail Saturday
and showed little signs of insanity.
He talked with the doctors who had
been appointed to examine into his
case and told the story of his entire
life. He claimed that his relatives
had conspired against himsto get him
out of the way and insisted that he
had never suffered from any mental
trouble. Hanrath fell off an ice wagon
several years ago and it is alleged
that this fall affected his brain and
that he has suffered from mental
trouble ever since that time.
Hanrath is preparing to fight for
his liberty and has notified the court
to this effect. When the matter was
taken up in the county court Saturday
morning it was decided to continue
the hearing of the matter for a week.

Rev. S. VI. NayIor Tells Former
Practitioners of His Travels
Through Central Africa
MILES ON FOOT TO INTERIOR
Former Minister Visits the Interior of
the Continent During starvation
Month" and Sees Awful Times.

The experiences of an eighty-mi1e
trip on foot through the interior of
Central Africa, formed the substance
of very interesting address before
the Epworth League of Park Ave.
M. E, church, The speaker was the
Rev. Samuel w. Mayor, a former
pastor of the Kenosha church, who
had returned only a short time ago
from visit to the missionigfe1ds of
the church in Africa.
Mr.. Nay1or has been elected pro-
fessor of Church history ia Lawrence
University at Appleton, butt he will
come to Kenosha in short time to
give series of lectures onss..the work
that is being done in the church in
Africa.
The address of Mr.. Nay1or Sunday
evening was exceeding1y,interesting,
and notwithstanding the heavy rain
that fell during the evening the
church was we'll filled with. members
of the league.
The trip through the interior was
probably the most interesting one
ever made by any church representa-
tive. The Methodist church has mis-
sion houses in all parts of Africa, but
many of them are visited only at long
intervals and some of them had never
seen the face of white man. There
were no railways or made roads, SO
the Kenosha minister decided to make
the journey on foot. He reached the
scene of his labor just before the
opening of the harvest season-the
starvation month. The story told of
the sufferings of the natives was of a
most graphic nature.
Piercing into the interior of the
dark continent, Mr.. Nay1or found that
the supply of meal at the mission
houses had been exhausted, and that
the people we're finding their living
by gathering roots and leaves. This
formed the principal portion of their
diet, but in the very warmest weather
the inhabitants were forced to gather
grass-hoppers, which they sca1ded
and made into cakes. The former

with the natives during his long tramp
through the continent.
Rev. Nay1or was absent from the
country for ten months, and six
months of that time were spent in
visiting the mission houses of the
church in Africa. He made trip ex-
tending 5000 miles along the east and
west coasts Of the continent, and
visited every society of the church.
Mr.. Naylor made the trip to Africa in
company with Bishop Hartze1, but the
latter did not accompany him on his
long tramp.
Mr.. Naylor occupied the pulpit of
the Park Avenue M. E. church at
both morning and evening services

THE OPENING MEETING.
Paul c. Foster Addresses Young Men
at the Y. M. C. A. Sunday.

Mr.. Paul c. Foster, of Chicago.
addressed the opening young mems
meeting at the Y. M. C. A. Sunday
afternoon speaking on the topic,
The Supreme Aim of a Man. The
address was full of interest and pro-
voked considerable favorable COM
ment. Among other things Mr.. Fos-
ter contended that the greatest thing
man could do was to find out the
kind of work for which he was best
fitted. The mechanic and merchant
should consider their occupation as
divine calling as the ministry or
foreign missionary. Each man has an
individuality that no other man can
express and we should not seek TO
initiate others but seek to find ex-
preston for the talents with which we
are personally endowed. No man is
1ltted to enter upon a life struggle
until in quiet meditation he has in
1sion looked over the great needs of the
world as God sees it and with unse1fsh
devotion committed himself to the
work his highestidea1s may lead him to
regardless of what men may think.
A man must be true to his own per-
sonality before he can hope to benefit
mankind. The music was in charge
of Mr.. W. E. Hubbard and of an in
spring nature. In the future meet
ings much will be made of the musical
features and an enthusiastic young
mems chorus has been organized I'M
der Mr.. Hubbard's lead.
