Help Keep the City Clean
The very commemorate movement
Of the Outdoor Art League should
have the cheerful cooperation Of every
resident Of the city. Many hands
make light work, bnt the hands must
not stop with the space enclosed by
the sidewalk. The space between the
sidewalk and the street, the curb,
which should be a chief ornamentation
to the lot Is all too often sorely in need
of attention. Rank grass, weeds and
rubbish covering the stone or plank
curling, or the place where the curb
ing should be, will offset many a
pretty bush or flower bed within the
lot proper.
Then the vacent lots! Weeds, hay,
rye, cans, stonesl 1t is unfair abso-
lntely to blot out impressions left by
the many beauty spots Of our hust1-

the whole story Of the awful revenge

Sheboygan and holiday crowd of
1900 people turned out to witness the
game. Most Of the fans were roofing
for Sheboygan and the Kenosha boys
got little sympathy from the crowd.
Up to the very last inning the Keno
sha team had set up row Of ciphers,
but with a desperation borne Of despair
the Kenosha boys managed to get IN a
single run in this inning and saved
the seasons record for shut outs.
Wilson the cyclone negro pitcher
was IA grand form and he allowed the
Kenosha hittters but three hits.
Pnlse failed. to disturb the batters
Of the Shehoygan team and they
lined out the ball for twelve safe
hits.
The support given to Pulse was
anything, but good and four errors

arranging for another game to be

that the home team will even things

First Entertainment by Kenosha.

Crowd to Balm Park. 4 I.
PATRICK HENRY is. THE STAR

The Kenosha Gent1emen's Driving
Club made its first bow to the people
Of the city on Wednesday when a
matinee was held at the Balm track
which proved to be one of the most
interesting race meets ever held in
Kenosha. The weather was perfect
and tke track was decidedly fast. A
crowd of nearly 5000 people gathered
about the track ana IN the grarra
stand and cheered the horses.
The most exciting event of the
afternoon was the race between
"Patrick Henry, owned by Henry
Brothers, and ssTeddy So, owned by
Frank Schmitt, and while the Henry
horse took both heats the race was a
grand one. Edward Collier, one Of
the expert testers of the Rambler
factory, gave an exhibition with the
auto, his best mile being 1908. The

An Editor Goes to Church.

A central Kansas editor says: eve
attended church some time ago, and
listened to very good sermon. as SER
mons go. We enjoyed the singing, and
stood up with the brethren and sisters
while they sang the good old hymn,
Shall We Know Each Other There?'
While the hymn was being sung we
glanced about us and counted about a
dozen members Of the congregation Of
the church who do not speak to each
other here. The thought occurred
to us, why should they know each
other there when they seemingly don't
know each other here?'

Arthur Holden Who Courts Death
10 Amuse Carnival Crowd
Has Narrow Escape
DEATH TRAP FAILED TO WORK
Man Dashes to Terrible Injury in the
Presence OF Five Thousand People.
Act is Withdrawn From List of
the Carnival Attractions.

Shaking dice with DEATH Arthur
Holden, Of the Mundy carnival force,
narrowly escaped playing a losing
game Wednesday night at the car
nival grounds, near the Badger Brass
Works, and he is now laid up at his
rooms, and it is announced that he
will be unable TO continue his hazard
Gus trips over the loop the loop for
several days It least, and it's possible
that the injuries he received Wednes-
day evening will prove so serious that
he will be forced to give up his work
for the remainder of the year.
Holden was injured just after 10
o'clock, when ne started to make his
last thrilling 1eap,sabout the loop.
The mechanism failed to work and the
trap of death failed to open, and the
boy, riding at a rate of sixty miles an
hour, dashed off the inclined plane to
what seemed certain death. Some
providence must have protected the
boy from death. AS it was, he was
picked up unconscious, bruised and
bleeding and suffering from internal
hemorrhage.
Fully 5000 people stood about the
loop when Holden took his chance
with death, and as the man crashed
into the closed trap there was a groan
from the crowd. Women tainted and
there was hurried rush of thousands
toward the injured man. Drs. kim
ball and Munro were hurriedly sum
n1oned to the scene of the accident
and after fifteen minutes Holden was
restored to consciousness. 1t was
found that no bones had been broken
by his fall, but he was bruised from
one end of the body to the other and
was bleeding internally.
Just before Holden started on his
sensational tip he shouted to the
men in charge Of the loop and asked
them if they we're sure that the loop
was all right andthe men shouted back
that it was. Without further exanli-
nation Holden started on his trip. He
was going about the loop at the rate
of fully sixty miles an hour. The
loop is SO built that the spring to the
death trap is thrown by the bicycle
passing over a BOARD some distance
from the trap. As Holden passed the
board he was going at such speed
that the wheel jumped the board and
the trap was not opened.
Holden was game and although an
ambulance was hurried to the scene of
the accident he refused to be taken to
the hospital and later was taken to
his rooms, where it IS stated that he
is resting comparatively easy today.
There is no reason to believe that the
accident will result fatally.
The injury of Holden will make it
necessary for the company to do away
with both the loop the loop and the
high dive for the remainder of the
week, but other free attractions will
be offered. Young Holden was in
jured little over month ago at
Peoria, Ill, when a similar condition
of affairs caused him to be badly hurt.

Police Arrest Eighteen People for
Firing Prohibited Fireworks
and Secure Many Pistols
ACCIDENTS MAR FESTIVITIES.
Homer Meyers Terribly Hurt by Being
Thrown From Motor Cycle,
While Fireworks Claim the
Usual Nnrn Der Of Victims

The Glorious Fourth is past and
gone again, and there is a general
feeling Of thanlzfnlness among the
people Of the city. Young America
and his older brothers and sisters eel
ebrated to their limit in Kenosha, and
fortunately the day passed without
any fatalities TO add to the death Of
the little Lama boy. a half a dozen
accidents Of minor nature were re-
ported, but none Of them are consid-
cred serious.
Chief Of Police O7Hare and the
members Of the police force were
kept busy during the entire day ar
resting men for violation OF the proc
lamation Of Mayor German ia regard
to the use Of pistols and torpedoes.
Eighteen arrests were made during
the day, and the drawer at the police
Office contains dozen revolvers con-
fscated during the day. Eleven ar
rests we're made on charges of carry
ing revolvers, and seven for putting
torpedoes on the tracks Of the Keno
sha Electric Railway company. On
the North side torpedoes were placed
under the cars, and one car came near
being wrecked. The car was filled
with passengers, and one woman
tainted.
The arrests caused considerable ex-
element about the city, and by night
the pistol had been pretty well elinli-
mated from the celebration.
All of the men arrested will report
at the police office this evening, and it
is possible that the cases will be taken
into court to furnish an example for
future celebrations. A.
There were fireworks iii all parts of
the city Wednesday night, some of
the displays being Of a noteworthy
nature. Thousands of Kenosha peo-
pie went to Racine during the day,
and many societies took part in the
Racine parade. The Woodmen Of Ke-
nosha came within one point Of win
ming the prize for the largest number
Of men in line.
All Of the parks about the city were
crowded during the day, and the Car
nival crowds we're the largest ever
seen at a similar exhibition in the
city. It is estimated that fully 1000
people visited the carnival during the
day.
There were many family picnics
and reunions il the woods about the
city, and the members Of the Saliva
ton Army from Racine and Kenosha
had big gathering on Washington
Island.
The doctors were kept busy during
the day, and the following accidents
are reported as a result Of the celebra-
ton:
Homer Myers thrown from motor
cycle and badly hurt. Now at the
Kenosha hospital.
Ralph Ritter, face badly burned by
looking into a Roman candle which
had failed to go off.
James Carey, eye badly burned with
powder by the premature explosion Of

off by premature explosion of giant
fire cracker.
Frank Wallace, thumb blown off by
premature explosion of sky rocket.
Pardy Warren had one Of his hands
badly burned with powder by the ex-
plosion Of giant cracker.
