BROKE ALL RECORDS
Holiday Business Of Kenosha Mer
chants Greater Than In Any
Preceding Period
MONEY VAS VERY PLENTIFUL

The merchants Of Kenosha are
clearing up the stores and getting
ready to settle down to normal condi-
tions after the greatest holiday trade
ever known in the city. The past'two
weeks have proved great harvest
for the men who sell, and nearly
every one of the merchants declares
that the year has been a record break
er IN every respect. Ii a1x
Some of the stores declare that their
receipts during the week preceding
Christmas we're more than doub1esthe
receipts for the same period in 1ast
year. 1t is stated that the increase
of the business over last year was
fully thirty per cent. 8a1
There were many causes for the big
business of the present holiday sea
son. The year just closing has been
the most prosperous in the history of
Kenosha. The wheels of the factor
les have been running over time most
of the year and the wages paid out
we're sufficiently large to allow the
1AdA dAO Ills W1lC dLQ CuA1~
dren to afford the luxuries Of life.
Again the perfect weather helped
some. The roads were in almost per-
feet condition and the merchants de-
clare that the country trade was more
than double that of last year.
Every branch of business fourished
during the holidays. The people had
money and they were willing and
ready to buy the best class of goods.
Furniture men and jewellers report
that their business was especially
large, while the toy dealers did not
suffer as result. The business in
toys was the largest in the history of
Kenosha. It is estimated that no4ess
than 100000 pounds of candy we're
sold in the city during the last five or
six days of the holiday week, and the
demand is still abnorma1ly large.

OFF FOR MILWAUKEE,
Kenosha Teachers Attend State
Meeting of Wisconsin Teach
ers' Association
sUPT. WINNERS TO SPEAK

City superintendent p. J. Zimmers
and a large number of the teachers of
| the Kenosha city schools went to
Milwaukee this morning to attend the
sessions of the fifty-third annual con-
vention of the Wisconsin state teach
ers association. It is expected that
the meeting will be most largely at
tended and the most important ever
held among the teachers of the state.
Many of the Kenosha teachers went
to Milwaukee earlier in the. week and
the headquarters of the Kenosha
schools have already been opened at
the Plarkington House. It is ex.
pected that every teacher in the
city will attend one or more of the
sessions during the week. The Keno
sha colony will be swe11ed by many of
the teachers from the county. Coun-
ty superintendent John j. Kerwin is
already in Milwaukee and he will
take an important part in the pro-
ceedings of the convention of county
superintendents.
For the first time in many years the
city of henosha will be represented
on the program of the state
meeting as Superintendent zimmers
is slated to deliver an address on
teaching in the graded schools. The
address will be important as Mr.. zim-
mers has given much of his time to
the study of this work and he will
speak as one having authority.
Many meetings have been arranged
in connection with the convention
and it is expected that an effort will
be made to bring the teachers of the
state under the rule of organized
labor. It is understood that the plan
is favored by many of the teachers
and the labor leaders of the state hope
to have some definite action taken
during the present session of the
teachers. The meeting will con-
tinue for the remainder of the week.

Theo Papas, Kenosha Greek, Ar
rested at North Chicago
AS a result of a difficulty over
unionism Theodore Papas, we'll
known Greek of this city, was arrest
ed at North Chicago on Tuesday
afternoon charged with having pulled
revolver on Ernest Smith of North
Chicago.
Both men are employed in Kenosha
and it is claimed that Smith is a nom
union man and that he has been
scabbing" it in this city. Papas
had gone to North Chicago several
days ago for few days visit, and he
met Smith in one Of the saloons Of the
village. There was no time lost, as
the men at once began to mix things
up, and the wordy war soon led to
blows, and when they were ordered
out of the saloon trouble was expect
ed. Just outside the door it was al
legged that Papas drew the revolver
from his pocket Smith took no
chances, and ducked behind the build
ing where he found Officer Hyde of
the North Chicago police force. He
at once placed Papas under arrest.
The Kenosha man declared that the
revolver was not loaded, and that he
had simply planned to scare Smith.
Notwithstanding his protestations he
was taken before a police magistrate
who de11a led 2 $500 bond
Papas put up the cash, but later n
the afternoon he decided that he
would plead guilty to the charge and
he was fined $40 and the costs of the
action. The police officer confscated
the gun belonging to the Kenosha
man, and in the future he will prob
ably depend on his fists for defense.

Frank Hartman, Of Chicago, Mar
rowly Escapes Death at q
Christmas Celebration
FUR ROBE CAUSES BAD FIRE
Wealthy Chicago Man Narrowly Es-
capped Death While Attempting to
Amuse His Children and Other
Relatives at Camp Lake

Frank Hartman, Chicago broker,
and said to be wealthy, narrowly es-
capped being burned to death at one Of
the cottages on Camp Lake on Mon
day evening, and he is now confined
to his room as a result of burns re-
ceived while enacting the role of
Santa Claus. Hartman has a pretty
cottage at the lake which he occupies
during the summer, and during the
winter months it is kept open for the
use of the father and mother of the
broker. This year Hartman decided
to have the Christmas celebration at
the cottage, and with his wife and
three children he went to the cottage
on Monday afternoon. The old folks
had arranged for an old fashioned
celebration and big tree had been
set up in the living room of the cot
tage. It was covered with Christmas
candles, but the light from the tree
was not sufficient to light the room
and Kerosene lamp had been placed
on holly decked box near the foot of
the tree.
It was decided that Hartman himself
should enact the role Of the patron
saint Of the children, and being a lit
tie shy on false whiskers he went out
to the barn and secured a buffalo robe
which he used as a coat. In some
way, while moving about the tree, the
robe struck the big lamp and it was
knocked off the box. In a second
there was an explosion, and the oil
from the lamp was thrown on the
robe. Hartman rushed from the
room and into the open air, and the
flames were communicated to his
clothing. His face and hands were
terribly blistered, but he managed to
get free from the robe, and it was
thrown into the yard and soon burned
up. Hartman's wife rushed to his
assistance and managed to exiting uish
the flames from his clothing. He was
taken into the house and physician
summoned from Antioch. It is stated
today that he will recover, but it is
probable that he will be marked for
life as a resn1tof his adventure.
The flames from the exploded lamp
we're communicated to the tree and it
was soon blazing. However, the
membersof the family had sufficient
presence of mind to throw several
large rugs about the burning tree and
the flames were extinguished. Sew
era1 valuable presents intended for
the members of the family were
burned, but the cottage was not badly
damaged.

Local Council Of the Knights Of
Columbus Planning to Build a
Building for Lodge Uses
SUBSCRIPTIONS BEING TAKEN
Fund of $4,000 to be Raised Before
the Work on the New Building
is Started-P1an to Build
During Next Year

A movement has been started among
the members of the knights of
Columbus in Kenosha to secure the
erection of large brick building in
the business portion of the city, which
is to be owned and controlled by the
members of the order. The work of
securing subscriptions to fund for
the building is now under way and
several large gifts have already been
promised. John O'Dennel1 is the
chairman of the committee in charge
of raising the fund for the building,
and the amount to be raised has
been placed at $40,
At a recent meeting of the local
council the matter of building home
for the Knights in Kenosha was taken
up, and it was received with such
enthusiasm that it is believed that
the money needed to secure the COM
plet1on of the building will be raised
within few months. The members
OF the building committee are now
circulating the subscription lists and
report will be made to the council
at its next meeting.
The plans for the erection of the
building include the purchase of a
suitable site either on Main street or
in some other central location, and
the erection of a building which will
be suitable for the uses of the lodge.
In order to make the building a
self-sustaining one it is planned to
have two stores on the ground floor,
while the second and third floors will
be given over entirely to the members
of the order. One of the floors will
be used for social purposes, while the
other will be converted into a lodge
room.
Prominent members of the order in
the city have taken up the matter of
raising the fund, and it is thought
that with these men at the helm the
money will soon be raised. Some of
the members of the council had been
in favor of issuing bonds to secure
the erection of the building, but other
members were of the opinion that the
amount needed could be raised by pri-
vate subscriptions and this plan has
been adopted.
The knights of Columbus is one
of the strongest benevolent organiza-
tons in the city. It's membership is
limited to members of the Catholic
churches and as such society it has
gained great strength in the state.
For a long time an effort was made to
secure a council of the order in Keno
sha and when the council was in
stalled some months ago it had a
mbership of less than hundred.
In short time the membership has
grown until at the present time the
membership roll contains nearly two
hundred of the leading young men of
the city.
It is the plan of the council to start
work on the new lodge home during
coming year.

TESTS ABILITY AS SWIMMER
Former Kenosha Man Jumps Into Lake
to See if He Has Forgotten How


Lars Christ Christianson, a bar
tender, formerly 81 Kenosha. was dis
covered sitting OF a pile in the lake
near the Goodrich Transportation
company docks in Racine Tuesday
morning. He was wet to the skin and
nearly dead from exposure. Christian
son, after he was revived, told the
officers that he had dispute with a
number of companions about swim
ming and they claimed he could not
swim. Remembering that he went
swimming as boy in the old country
he did not believe the statement. In
order to find out he walked to the
dock and jumped in the lake. The
water was so cold he foundered
around and managed to climb on a
pile where he was perched until his
cries for assistance we're heard.

THE salary of the chief of the fire
department should not be fixed at an
amount out of proportion to the pay
of ether city employees in equally re-
sponsible positions. The city might
start the heads of the police and fire
departments and the city clerk at the
same pay and when there is any
money available for increases in
salary give them an equal boost ali
around, That would be the fairest
way to do.

The merchants are the ones who
should be the most interested in keep
ing the streets and alleys in the bust
ness district clean and sanitary but
according to the complaints of the
street commissioners they are chiefly
responsible for the great quantities
of waste paper which are constantly
blowing up and down the streets. A
few cheap garbage burners and FIVE
minutes work day would remedy all
this and the merchants ought to be
willing to do that much for the sake
of appearances.
