SEED WAS FATAL.
Kenosha County Farmer Notifies Congress
man Cooper That Seed Is Not Wanted

Congressman Cooper has for the
past few years been distributing
among his constituents in Kenosha
County a very fine quality of grass
seed, but it is very probable that in
the future this distribution will be
limited. The crafty farmer in Keno
sha County seems to have lost some
of his cunning, and a letter that has
just been received by the Congress-
man from one of the farmers of the
County shows the whole story. The
letter was as follows:
"Dear Mr.. Cooper: / want tothank
you very much for the seed you have
been sending me. Please do not send
any more, as our canary died ten days
ago. The bird did not seem to thrive
on the seed you have been sending"

6. & NV. GETS CONTRACT.
To Handle Business of the Navy in This
Section For a Year.


The contract for the naval business
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1905, was awarded Saturday by the
navy department to the Chicago &
Northwestern Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific railroads. The
through rate from Chicago to San
Francisco will be $35.25, as against
$2o.74 at present. This is the net rate
after deducting land grant allow
ances, and is less than two cents a
mile. The ability of the Northwest
ern Union Pacific lines to get a SO
much higher rate than last year is be-
cause the other lines, recognizing
their folly in making such low bids
last year, made much higher bids this
year.

KENOSHA HIGHS WIN
High School Basket Ball Team Defeats
Waukegan by a Score Of n to 10
On Last Saturday Evening.
OF INTEREST TO sPoRTsMEN.

The Waukegan and Kenosha bas
ket ball teams FLASHED at the Y. M. c..
A. gymnasium last Saturday evening
and the Kenosha team won hard
fought victory by a score of 81 to 10.
In the first half the Kenosha team
simply walked away with the Wau-
kegan players and at the end of the
half the score was 10 to 10 in favor of
Kenosha In the second half the
Waukegan boys defeated the Keno
sha boys and the half stood to 9 in
favor of the visitors. The long lead
of the Kenosha boys in the first half
is all that saved them from defeat.
The game stirred up great deal of
interest among the students of the
two high schools and large number
of students came up from Waukegan
to attend the game and to root for
their team. One of the largest crowds
of the year witnessed the match.

 Clarence Nelson, known as Battling Nelson1 by reason of his pugilistic proclivities, is now having chance to improve his muscle by work at the county farm, to which he was sent on Thursday afternoon by Justice Guy Smith, after a jury had fixed his fine for a badly mixed case of robbery and vagrancy at $40, which he was unable to pay.

 GRANTED LICENSE.

County Judge J. M. Jones on Thursday afternoon granted the application of Thad Arlington, colored, for a dram-shop license.

Camden, Jan. 6. Gov. Jeff Davis and Judge Carroll D. Wood spoke here this afternoon in the opera house, and, despite the inclement weather, they were greeted by a large audience, in- cluding many farmers. Each gentleman had strong partisans in the meeting, but everything passed off pleasantly and in tn , utmost good humor. Both can- didates received hearty ovations as they were introduced by ex- Sheriff Arch Hamilton, who pre- sided over the meeting.
 The debate was opened by Judge Wood, who spoke for an hour and made a fine impression. Governor Davis spoke for an hour in defense of his record, and was bold and defiant.
 Judge Woods rejoinder of fif- teen minutes was devoted to re- futing some of the governors as- ssrtions, though no bitter per sonalities were indulged in by either candidate. The governor did not remain to hear Judge Woods rejoinder.

falrS III Newport s sOcal life was the ball given by the Newport Club on New Years eve at their beautifully furnished rooms, which had been made ready for the occasion by lavish decora- tions of tastily arranged ropes of cedar and holly with wreathes of mistletoe.
 1 It was a masquerade event in which quite host took part and all enjoyed this added feature of what has become an annual event with this popular organization. l The refreshments of champagne punch, ice cream in fruit, flower and brownie figures were deli cate, being nicely served by the Bracy Confectionery Company. I When the old year had been numbered with it's predecessors and the bells and whistles of the city were welcoming the advent of the new, the novel but not unpleasant experience of revers- ing the regular order of mascu- line initiative to leap years ways fell to the lot of the ladies there assembled, who assumed with grace and authority the leadership acquired that made men tremble for their rights. Jealousy is more a woman s frailty than mans and the gen. tlemen, who had rushed visiting girls, complain that they received few courtesies from home belles after tl1e midnight hour.
