on Sunday Afternoon
TRENARY PRAISES ELK00M
Loving Tributes Are Paid to the
Memory of the Late Ossian M.
Petit and Thomas c. O'Donrlel1,
Who Died During the Year

Writing faults upon the sand and
virtues on the tablets of love and
memory, the members of the Keno
sha lodge of the Benevolent and Pro-
tective Order of Elks, held their am
nual memorial services at the lodge
rooms on Sunday afternoon and paid
tribute to the memory of the departed
brothers and particularly the~two who
had fallen by the way during the year
just past. The meeting was held in
keeping with the annual custom of
the order and at the same time Elk
lodges were meeting in all parts Of
the United States and paying the, tri-
butte Of love and respect ITO Our Abb
sent Brothers.
The memorial services in Kenosha
were the most impressive ever held by
the locallodge. In honor of the event
and as tribute to the dead, the rooms
we're decorated in plants and flowers,
while the charter of the order was
draped in the white and purple of the
order as a signal of mourning. More
than two hundred people were present
and took part in tne services.
The services opened with rituals
tic service of the order, under the
leadership of Exalted Ruler E. G. AL
leman and the members and officers
Of the lodge, after which John Nc
Wade, of Chicago, sang NEARER My
God to Thee" After a prayer by the
Rev. Edgar T. Farrill, of the First
Congregational church, Prof. Otis L.
Trenary, past exalted ruler Of the
lodge, delivered the annual eulogy.
In his short address, Mr.. Trenary
spoke of the principles of the order
and the love and fellowship that cause
Elks in all parts of the country to
gather to pay tribute to the honored
dead. He spoke of the ten thousand
members who had fallen in life's battle
during the year, and declared that
the memory of their virtues and of
their comradeship, would be kept
ever bright by the living members of
the order. Prof. Trenary, spoke low
ing words of eulogy Of Former Mayor
Ossian M. Petit and Thomas Cecil
O'Donnell, the two members of the To-
cal lodge, who had died during the
year and spoke of the place that the
deceased brothers had taken in the
lodge and the memories that we're
brought up by the mention of their
names. He spoke Of them as men and
Elks, and declared that their deaths
had been felt as deeply within the
ranks Of the brotherhood of Elks as
they had in individual homes where
they were held most dear. In closing
he spoke of the principles of the or
der and stated that this memorial SER
vice was but in keeping with the great
principles of charity, justice and
brotherly love upon which the order
is founded.
Following the eulogy, Mrs. Fred
erick Wallace Haines, of Chicago,
sang in a delightful manner, "Thy
Will be Done, and the closing exer-
cises were carried out by the members
of the lodge after which, Mr.. McWade
sang, 'Abide With Me- After the
doxo1ogy by the audience, Rev. Mr..

GETS A DIVORCE
Alice M. Hopkins Gets Decree After
Seven Years Separation

Seven Years Separation
A Judgment has been filed in the
circuit court granting an absolute de-
cree of divorce to Mrs. Alice M. Hop
kins from her husband, Charles r.
Hopkins, on grounds of desertion.
This is probably the last chapter in
one of the famous cases of mysterious
disappearance from Kenosha. Mrs.
Hopkins had lived happily with her
husband from 1881 to 1899 and on the
morning of Dec. 10 of that year he
put on his hat and was never heard
from until a few months ago, when
the faithful wife, who had mourned
him as dead, found that he was living
with another woman in Tennessee.
Mrs. Hopkins by the Judgment is
given the custody of the children.
She did not ask for alimony and no
effort will be made to locate her faith
less husband.

City Tax Payers Must Pay Thir-
teen Mills on Big Valuation for
the Coming Years Tax
ALL FUNDS ARE INCREASED
City Council Anticipates Large Eek
penses for Street Paving and Other
Municipal Work, Income to
be $226,335.66.

Taxes to be paid by tax payers in
Kenosha this year, will be about as
large as they were last year, for at
the meeting of the common council
last night the finance committee
brought in a report recommending the
levy of a thirteen mill tax. The tax
levy for last year was fourteen mills
This levy will raise total of $685.
335. GO for the expenses of the city dur
ing the coming year and added to this
amount the committee estimates that
the city will receive $38, 900 at least
from the collection of saloon and
other license fees. This VIII give the
city total income for next year of
226,335.66. With this large sum Of
money ali of the funds have been in
creased and the council has anticipat-
ed a large amount of city improve
meuts to be added next year by plac-
ing a large sum of money ia the con-
tingent fund. The total amount de-
manded for the city schools, is to be
raised without the issuance of bonds
and the city has also provide literally
for increases in police and fire depart
ment. The appropriation for the po-
lice department is raised $1,000, and
this is not to be used fer the changes
in the Central Engine house as the
expense for these changes is to be
paid from the contingent fund. The
appropriation for harbor and break
water has been increased and the only
fund which is not greater is the fund
of printing and stationery, and this is
one of the smallest funds. The city
clerk will at once begin the work of
making out the tax levy in keeping
with the report of the committee, and
it will be turned over to the city treas
urer for collection about the middle of
the month. The amounts set aside
for the different funds in the report
of the committee are as follows:

MAKE HARD TRIP
Firemen Have Hard Fight to Get at
Prairie Fire on West City Limits

Firemen Have Hard Fight to Get at
Prairie Fire on West City Limits
Driven by brisk wind a prairie FIRE
which for a time threatened to do
serious damage, swept down on the
western limits of the city, Sunday af-
ternoon. The fire department was
called out just before six O'Clock as
the FIRE at that time threatened the
station of the Chicago and Milwaukee
electric road and the houses on Charles
street. In endeavoring to get out to
the fire, the department had decid-
eddy hard trip. The combination
wagon from the Central Engine house,
was stuck fast in the mud on Eliza
beth street, and the wagon from the
third ward engine house was stuck on
Charles street. The firemen found
that it would be impossible to reach
the FIRE with the wagons, but assisted
by the residents Of the neighborhood
they went after the blaze with brooms
and brush and managed to prevent
its crossing the railroad tracks. 1t is
supposed that the FIRE was started by
sparks from passing engine on the
Rockford division of the Northwestern
road. The glow from the flames was
reflected all over the western sky and
was visible in all parts of the city, and
hundreds Of people went out to watch
the progress of the flames. Should a
ire start in the southwestern part OF
the city, it is liable to get under good
Roadway before the department can
yeach it, as the streets in that section
Of the city are in such condition
that it is impossible to make fast
run over them.

TIE SHORE LEAGUE sUEE
sh9boyxan and Manitowoc Preparing
for Next Seasons Work

The Sheboygan Athletic Associa-
ton, composed Of prominent business
men of that city, was incorporated at
Madison last week. The association
has secured d tract Of land in the
heart Of the north side residence dis
trict, and VIII build one of the finest
baseball and athletic grounds in the
State. The association will support a
team in the Lake Shore league, and
the members are satisfied that with a
winning team in that Organization
their project will prove a success.
according to reports from Mani
towoc, that city will be represented
by fast team in the Lake Shore
league if money and good manage
n1ent can procure one. The fans
there have grown tired Of supporting
a losing aggregation and will do all in
their power to put that city on the
baseball map. Jack Herzog, a we'll
known umpire, who managed the
strong teams from 1898 to 1901, has
been induced to take holdlof the team,
and with his knowledge of baseball
and large acquaintance with players,
he ought to secure a winning aggre-
cation for 1907. Business men are
taking great interest in the team and
stock company will be formed to
finance it. The new grounds will be
put in fine shape, and with few i'm
proyements Manitowoc will have the
finest ball grounds in the state.
The Kenosha management is in
readiness for the opening of the new
season.

did not allow the credit. In order to

The Tariff as an Issue,

In trying TO encourage the notion that
the tariff is to be the vital issue in the
congress campaign this year. Demo
cratic leaders and newspapers show a
singular blindness to political signs
and tendencies. Issues cannot be
created out Of hand, They must repre-
sent some actual clash of opinion and
must be the outgrowth of genuine
state OF war between the two parties
1t can hardly be said that the tariff
policy constitutes today distinct line
OF cleavage between the two political
organizations. Fourteen years ago the
Democratic party won great national
victory on low tariff platform. 1t
attempted to translate that platform in
TO legislation, and was driven out of
power by record breaking majority.
The south, long committed to free
trade, had used the northern Demo-
cracy as an instrument TO overthrow
the protective system. But the coun.
try's eyes were opened by its experience
with the tariff thinkers who framed the
Wilson-Gorman act, and the unprece-
dented prosperity in trade and industry
which followed the pa assage of the Ding
ley law in 1897 has pretty thoroughly
convinced the voters that, although
mistakes in detail may easily be made
and may work injustice and discrimi-
nation, the protective system has, on
the whole, been yindicated as "a sound
and helpful feature Of national policy
