than local gathering. It will be the

enjoy the days outing with very little
expense. A large platform will be

the two counties will be accorded
chairs upon the stand, that they may
enjoy the day in comfort. The adj

Those'who have had the pleasure of
hearing this gentleman pronounce
him second to none in the state.
Come and hear an grafton full of
patriotism.
The q Dec1arati of independence
as read by Mrs. Lieber, is seemingly
relieved of much of the dryness of
that highly priced old document.
Patriotic songs will be sung by a
quartette, while Schu1te's full band
will keep the day ag1ow with their
finest selections.
The base ball game for prize of
SO between the Kenosha Grays and
Racine Refrigerators will be played
in the forenoon.
Foot, sack and potato races and
Foresters competitive drill will make
up the afternoon entertainment,
while those who care to enjoy re-
freshing hour can trip the light fan
tastic to their hearts content under the
shaded nook upon smooth platform
erected for the day. Schu1te's music
during the afternoon, Mutters & Ores
sci band during the evening.
The ladies of the community will
spare no pains to have enough of the
good things on hand to satisfy all
those who desire a good dinner or
supper. So arrange to spend your
4th in Somers. DIV

City Council Makes it Possible for the
Balm Wagon Company to Enlarge
Their Plant at Once.
NEW RAILWAY TRACKS PROMISED.
President Arnold Notifies the Council That
the Company VIII Probably Build on
South Exchange Street.

The members of the City Council Of
kenosha are in favor of home indus
tries and their advancement, and they
made show of this friendly feeling
Monday when by almost a unani-
nous vote they passed ordinances
vacating Church street north of Mar
ket street and portion of Pearl street
for the use of the Balm Wagon Com
pany., The company has made plans
for large addition to their plant and
the work of building will probably be
started within the near future. The
ordinances as passed provide for the
vacating to the company of all Of that
part of Church street extending from
the north line of Market street to Pike
river and of the south twenty-five
feet of Pearl street from the west line
of Main street to the east line of Chi
cago street. This will give the COM
pany large amount of land for use
IN charging the plant.
The ordinances have been before
the council for some time and there
has been no objection to the plan
save those made by Alderman Kauf-
man, who voted against the ordinance
providing for the vacating of the
streets.
The Balm Company is one of the
greatest manufacturing concerns in
the state, and the company has done
much to advance the interests of
Kenosha. To this end the action of
the Council in vacating for their use
these streets is seconded by nearly
the entire city.
For some time Church street has
been used almost entirely by the COM
pany and the company owns every
foot of the adjoining property. The
same thing can be said in regard to
the portion of Pearl street vacated
for the use of the company.
May Build Tracks at Once.
The Council at it's meeting Monday
night received a communication from
President B. ]. Arnold Of the Kenosha
Electric railway company in which
he stated that while the company had
not planned to lay tracks on South
Exchange street during the present
year it would take this action if the
city decided to pave the street. The
president stated that if possible he
would make an effort to have the
tracks laid before the street was
paved. The matter is now in the
hands of the street assessment COM
mittee, and while the letter of Mr..
Arnold does not bind the company it
is very probable that the tracks will
go down.
Proposals were received from the
E. Gi11en company of Racine for the
repair of the city docks near the
Main street bridge. The work will
cost from $14 to $18 foot. No action
was taken on the matter but it was
referred to a committee for investiga-
ton.
The old matter of the opening of
Collins street came up and was re-
ferred to the committee on streets and
alleys. It will probably be taken up
at the adjourned meeting of the Coun-
ci13to be held on next Monday even

TRENTON, Feb. II, 1904-Mrs.
Murphy, wife of Governor Murphy, died
at 11:50 o'clock last night, the result of
a stroke of apoplexy, at the executive
mansion, 205 West State street.
Mrs. Murphy had intended to start for
er Newark home on the 3:20 o'clock
train and at o'clock the maid went to
her room to call her and found her lying
on the couch unconscious.
DIR. W. A. Clark and DIR. Nelson B.
Oliphant were summoned and worked
over her, but their efforts to restore her
to consciousness were futile and the FAM
lily physician, Or. P. D. Hewitt, of New
ark, was sent for and arrived early in
the evening, and the three doctors re-
manned with her until all hope was gone
AT the time she 0as stricken the Gov
ernor was in Philadelphia, and he was
intercepted on a train as he was passing
through this city for his home in Newark
and taken at once to the bedside of his
dying wife.
Messages were sent to their son, Colo
mel Franklin Murphy, Jr., in Newark,
and their daughter, Mrs. Thomas P. Kin
ney. of Atlantic City. The former ar
rived at 7.45 o'clock, and Mrs. Kinney
reached here at 1850 o'clock just an
hour before her mothers death.
Mrs. Murphy's maiden name was Miss
Janet Colwell, of Newark, and at the
time of her marriage, thirty-six years ago
to the Governor. she was teacher in
the Newark public schools.
She was an accomplished woman and
widely known among church and society
people of her native city. She was pos
sessed of lovable disposition and made
friends of all with whom she came in
contact.
She was prominently identified with
Newark charitable enterprises and with
st. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church
and Sunday school.
She was about 56 years old.
The remains will probably be removed
to Newark today, where the funeral ar
rangements viii be made and the services
conducted.
1t is presumed that the Legislature on
reconvening Monday night win imfnedi-
ately adjourn out of respect to her mem
ory.
