TO BE HELD AT GRAUSKI'S.
There was a big Democratic rally Of
the Polish. Lithuanian. Slayonian, Rus
sian and Hungarian element of the city's
population at National Hall. Brunswick
street. near Seventh street. last night.
The hall was crowded. Editor Wilusz,
of the Clos Narodu (.'People's. Voice.
presided.
John Driseoll was the principal speak
er that spoke the English tongue. He
has been campaigning among the foreign
born population for several years and
has become a very popular speaker.
Those who could understand the Eng
lish tongue. and they are rapidly acquir-
ing it, think very favorabIy of Mr..
Driscoll, and know that he is telling
them the truth about the politics of free
America. Though the audience could not
thoroughly understand the words of the
speaker it was thoroughly apparent that
they were trying their very best as nat
uralized citizens of America to follow
his advice, and that was in the interest
of Democracy. That his speech was
punctured with applause showed that the
audience pretty well knew what he was
talking about and that they agreed with
the political sentiments he expressed
that the salvation of the liberty of all
foreign-born citizens, those of foreign ex-
traction, and even those born ON Ameri-
can soil, rested with the Democratic par
ty of this country, nationally as we'll as
locally. This is a free country" he de-
clared. ~and We don't want any Russian
police methods here.'
Editor Wilusz, Of the s'Gios Wilusz,
also made an address. As he has all along
written in the editorial columns of his
paper he last night declared to his hear
ers that the only way that the poor man
could secure his rights was through the
efforts of the Democracy of this nation.
He advised all in the audience to vote
the straight Democratic ticket.
Mr.. A. NJ. Henry, the Democratic
Mayoralty candidate, made most favor
able impression. He talked in a way
that impressed the audience that he
would be a Mayor that would use his
great executive ability in a1manner that
would be in the interest of all classes of
the community and his presence and
speech aroused a tremendous amount of
cratic Shriewa5ty candidate, Egbert Sey-
mour, could not be present, saying it was
impossible because he had to be present
at so many other meetings at this stage
of the political campaign Even the men
tion of the name of Mr. Seymour pro-
voked much enthusiasm and applause.

Milwaukee and State Line Railway
Company Begin Proceedings
to Get Right Of Way.
FARMS ARE AFFECTED BY SUIT
Company Claims to Have Secured the
Remaining Right of Way in This
County.-Contested Right of
Way is in Somers.

In the circuit court for Kenosha
county this morning the Milwaukee
and State Line Railway company be-
gan condemnation proceedings to Sc
cure possession of certain property in
the towns of Somers and Pleasant
Prairie. 1t is stated by the company
that all other right of way needed ia
this county has been secured and that
neg citations are now pending for a
settlement of a portion of the right
of way sought by condemnation.
Three pieces of property affected by
the proceedings are in the town of
Somers and the demands of the COM
pany are as follows
Through the property of Henry j.
Whalen strip of land 100 feet
in width; through the property of
Helen W. Miller strip of land
120 feet in width; through the
property Of Leslie Mainland strip
of land 100 feet in width and through
the property of James Brogan in
Pleasant PRAIRIE a strip of land 100
| feet in width.
In the petition the attorneys for the
company set forth the fact that this
right of way is demanded for the
building of main line of railway to
connect the state line with milwaukee,
and that the company is regularly or
gained under the laws of the state OF
Wisconsin. 1t further asserts that
the company plans to complete this
line at once.
Since the company began the work
of getting the right of way farmers il
Somers and Mt. Pleasant in Racine
county have shown tendency.to ho1c
up the agents and some of these PEG
pie have refused to sell right of way
to the company at any price. Th'
company has already started proceed
Iings of similar nature in Racin
county and it is expected that boil
will be adjusted before the middle o
July.
The proceedings in this county vii
be taken up before Judge Slosson i
4
that time if the court finds that tn
company has the right to condem,
the land, commissioners will be ap
pointed to appraise the land and tn
company will not be long hindered i
building the line. OF course propert
owners affected will have the right t
appeal from the decision of this com
mission.

WANT DOLLARS BACK
Kenosha People Advance Money
for Porch Furniture and Are
SWindIed as Usual.
SWINDLER HAS EASY PICKING
SOUTH BOUND

Efforts are being made to locate
Claude M. Wilkinson clever swim
der, who recently worked Kenosha
and who evidently carried away about
S25 by means of his old scheme. Viii.
kinson was a dealer in porch furni-
ture according to his statements and
the purchase of large lot made it
possible for him to offer it at great
reduction in price. He worked in the
southwestern part of the city late in
March and made good.
His plan was to sell the furniture
at ridiculously low price, but the
rub came when he asked small adj
vance payment on the furniture. In
most cases this advance payment was
81 and the fellow managed to collect
from about twenty people. Of course
the furniture was never delivered. 1t
was to have been delivered about the
10th of this month, but nothing has
been seen of Wilkinson. So far the
complaints of his workings have been
confined to the people residing on
Selleck and Salem avenues, but it is
thought possible that he has worked
in other parts of the city. The same
game was worked in Kenosha two
years ago, but at that time the man
chose the north side of the city as a
green field of labor
Reports from Racine and South
Milwaukee show that the fellow work
ed those towns and it seems thu :
March was good month for him. A.
South Milwaukee it is claimed that he
took over 100 orders.
1t is more than probable that Will
kinson has now assumed new name
and is working his game in a distant
state, but will return to Kenosha in
couple of years and will probably seek
to catch the same people again.

A DRAMATIC TREAT
Miss Mollie Derbyshire Reads eff
We're Kingv at Guild Hall.

eff I We're King" the splendid ro-
mantle drama by Justin Huntly Nc
earthly, was the vehicle by which
Miss Mollie Derbyshire introduced
herself to the Kenosha public at
charming dramatic reading at the
Guild hall Thursday evening. Miss
Derbyshire has long been known IN
Kenosha as reader of rare merit,
but she only recently completed her
work in one of the Chicago colleges
Of expression and this was her first
appearance since graduation.
The work of Miss Derbyshire last
evening shows that she has made
great progress in her chosen profess
sion and no more charming entertain
ment could have been offered than her
dramatic reading last evening.
The Mccarthy drama is most diff
ficult piece to read, but Miss Derby
shire showed that she was quite equal
to the occasion and the way that she
drew the line between the characters
was worthy of the highest praise.
She was staggering Francois Viii
lon and her Interpretation of the tav-
ern scene was certainly worthy of an
actress. She was equally good in the
delineation of the characters of Louis
XI, Count Of Montcorbier and the half
a dozen other personages which mark
the passage of the play. She was as
charming as Katherine de Vauce1les
and her reading of this character was
one of the features of the evening.
Miss Derbyshire reached her high
est point as an artist at the end of
the second scene when she delivered
the reply of Montcorbier to the Her
aids of Burgundy in manner which
would have been credirab1e to the
most finished actor.
During the evening Miss Derby
shire was assisted in the program by
Mrs. H. E. Tanner, soprano, and Miss
Bessie Stebbins at the piano.

Pretty Girl Makes Trouble in Church
Congregation of the City.
There is considerable talk among
the members of one of the little
churches in the city on account of
the action of the minister in asking a
young woman to retire from the
church last Sunday. The young lady
is said to be the most beautiful woman
in the congregation and Sunday she
insisted on sitting in the back pew of
the church. The minister exhorted
the members of his flock to come to
the front and the young woman in
sisted on her right to sit where she
pleased. AS result the woman is
alleged to have been asked to leave
the church. The trouble was patched
up later in the day but it is said that
considerable feeling still exists among
the members of the congregation.

Killing of Members of the FIocks.
The farmers of the town of Salem
are up in arms over the fact that dogs
have invaded the herds of sheep in
the neighborhood, and many head of
sheep have been killed. The heaviest
loss so far reported was at the farm of
Abram Crowley, where dogs broke
into the flock, and before they could
be driven away, had killed fourteen

losses. On account of the depreda-
tons the farmers are sleeping on

TO GET HIS ESTATE
Danish Vice Consul at Chicago
Comes to Pay Over Estate
to Martin Petersen.
POOR BOY TO RECEIVE $4,000

Villas K. Assens, Danish vice consul
for Chicago, came to Kenosha on
Thursday afternoon and in company
with Peter B. Nelson, the representa-
tive of the Danish government in Ra-
cine, made arrangements to pay to
Martin Petersen of this city, legacy
due him from his grandfather's es-
tate. The money will be paid over
to young Petersen just as soon as a
guardian for him is appointed in the
county court. Thomas Hansen has
been nominated by the vice consul as
the guardian for the boy.
Petersen will receive the sum of
So, 500 in cash.
The payment of the money will end
a long search that has been conducted
by the Danish government through
the consul at Chicago for more than
eighteen years. Martin Petersen,
who will at last receive the legacy
left by his forefathers is a son of
George Petersen, former Kenosha
musician. The elder Petersen died
eighteen years ago and at that time
he was supposed to have nothing in
the way of an estate. However, at
the time of the death of the elder
Petersen the representatives of the
Danish government were searching
for him that they might pay over to
him the amount due to him from the
estate of his father. Petersen was
buried by the city and his name and
children fogotten.
In the meantime the Danish govern
ment had ordered the money due to
Petersen left in the hands Of the con-
sui at Chicago. For years the gov
ernment has been seeking to find the
heir to the property and by chance
Thomas Hansen of this city, sent
word to the consul that Martin Peter
sen might be the heir to the estate
An examination was at once started
by the consul with the result that the
claims of the Kenosha man were fully
sustained.
Martin Petersen was born and
raised in Kenosha and his friends
will be glad to learn Of his good for
tune.

The fear as to orange trees, how

miles south of Jacksonville, have been
seriously hurt. Tender vegetables have

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-The Pan-Ameri-
can Banking Company. 1856 Dearborn
street, an institution little known in
the financial world, closed its doors to
customers to-day, but announcement
was made that payments might be re-
sumed tomorrow. The bank is said to
have done considerable business in
small accounts.

Limited train On the New York Central
is alleged to have caused the suspen-
sion of the bank. w. H. Hunt, the
president, is a passenger on the block

Chicago to-day. julius N. Heldman,
the banks attorney declared that
when Hunt reached Chicago business
would be resumed.
Declaring that the bank had a debt
of $4,000 with no assets. a shareholder
in the concern filed a petition in the
Circuit Court early in the day for the
appointment of a receiver. According
to the petition the bank was organized
in January of last year under the laws
of West Virginia with capital stock
of $4,000

NEW YORK, Jan. 2o.--Among the
trains stalled on the New York Central
is the Twentieth Century Limited, due
in Chicago this morning. The train is
stuck in drifts near Irvington, with
about fifty men and women on board,
who will not be able to communicate
with the outer world until 500 workmen
sent from New York can clear the
tracks.
The passengers of the limited. how
ever, will fare much better than those
on some other snowbound trains. They
have plenty of light and heat and there
is well-stocked dining car attached.
For several hours after the train left
New York the dispatchers completely
lost track of it. A member of the crew
succeeded in reaching telephone late
at night and sent message to larry
town, telling of the dilemma. Snow was
drifting in about the train every min
ute, he said.
An effort was made by a party of
men from Irvington to get food to the
men and women on the Albany Express
and the Croton Local, but they could
not fight their way through the drifts

BLIZZARD IN THE KLONDIKE.
Miners and Prospectors Reported to
Be Suffering Great Hardships.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Jan. 26.-The
worst blizzard ever known in the
klondike region ragged last Thursday,
Friday and Saturday. The news was
brought here by the steamer Dolphin
from Skagway. Not only was the
weather bitterly cold, but the snowfall
is unprecedented. The gale swept the
Upper Yukon as far down as Dawson
and also took in the Tanana and Cop
per River valleys. All trails are i'm
passable and the snow was drifted in
many places to a depth of twenty feet
Miners and prospectors are said to be
suffering untold hardships and ad-
vices from the interior are to the ef-
feet that there is fear that some will
die of cold and starvation.
Ten days ago a party started from
Fairbanks to Valdez and another from
Fairbanks to Dawson. 1t is feared
that both of these have been lost. Re-
lief parties have been sent out from
Dawson and every effort will be made
to locate the missing men. The winter
trail is not a long one and men who
have come over it since these parties
started out say that not a vestige of
life was seen by them.
