VI TIIA the opening ol the masOii
w theater tomorrow night that
puts every playhouse in the
city in the active class; that is, every
one that is finished. Temple auditorium
promises its opening November s, and
the rush to finish 1t Is something re-
markable; but we have never had that
as one of the city's amusement enter
prises. so the first statement above
still holds good.
The Mason is, despite all that may be
said, great and important factor In
the amusement world here, because 1t
is about the one place where we can
get In touch with the players who make
things theatrical In the east. Our own
stock actors and actresses are very
much beloved of us, and rightly, but we
do like to run up against new persons
now and then, If for nothing more than
to realize how very good our perma-
nent purveyors of amusement are.
Hence the Mason fills a large place
in the scheme Of things, and its re-
opening will be more than welcome. 1t
may be regretted by some that a more
suitable inaugural play could not have
which of its kind, however, Is very
strong-but Los Angeles this year is so
situated that it must thankfully accept
most anything in the way of travel
, ing show and be content Herewith, so
one must not cavil.
Anyhow, it is not Harry Wyatt's
fault; he certainly has done his part
in getting the syndicate to keep Los
Angeles on the map at all. One Won
ders even how he did that, with the
San Francisco engagements wiped off.
True Los Angeles knows its own inn
portance and its ability to care for the
best and most expensive productions
going, but you can't ram that into the
heads of the money -grubbers who ex
plot the. so-called best shows" Per-
haps that visit from one Of them
helped some.
Be that as it may, however, we are
to have a start with syndicate shows
at last, and that makes all of us glad
Not that we have suffered; doubt
less Los Angeles is better off without
syndicate plays than is any other city
in the United States. We really don't
appreciate our own stock companies to
the fullest point till we see some of the
things that travelling companies foist
supon us. Where for instance, could a
better "Shore Acres have ever been
produced than was given at the Be
lasco last week? And that is only men
tioning one show, at that.
And, by the way, from all that is
said, the productions scheduled at the
stock houses in the near future will far
surpass anything so far done. Isn't
that fine?
Scott Berry is big with promises for
his opera company, soon to open, and
that will add one more strong attrac-
tion to the amusement world here, if
half he says is made good Really, the
outlook for this winter is something
splendiferous.

KILLED HIS BROTHER
August PeIIa Shot and Killed by
His Brother, Charles PeIla,
While Hunting Sunday
DEATH DUE TO AN ACCIDENT
Three Brothers Had Gone Hunting
When the Accidental Discharge
of a Shotgun Caused the
Death of One of Them

August Pella, aged 16-years, son
of Fred Pella of the town of Randall,
was shot and killed by his brother,
Charles Pella, late Sunday afternoon
near the Pe1la home in the town of
Randall. Pe1la was killed by the ac-
cidentaI discharge of a double-bar-
relied shotgun the charge from which
entered his right shoulder and pierced
the lung, causing his death an hour
and half after the accident had
occurred. The accident occurred in
the fields half mile from the Pella
home.
Three brothers, Charles, August
and Fred Pella, had left their home
shortly after noon on hunting expe-
dition and had gone to field some
distance from the house to hunt
rabbits. The oldest boy carried a
double barreled shotgun and August
walked ahead of him. In some manner
the gun was discharged. The entire
charge from both barrels of the gun
entered the right shoulder of the
brother and he fell to the ground
fatally wounded. The other,boys ran
to the home of Fred Sherman, a short
distance from the scene of the acct
dent, and secured the aid of Mr..
Sherman, who carried the injured
boy to the Pella home. DR.. H. c..
Darby, of Wilmot, was hurriedly
summoned to the house and he arrived
shot time before the death Of the
boy.
Young Pel1a remained conscious to
the end and he exonerated his
brother of all blame for the accident.
Don't blame Charley we're the last
words muttered by the dying boy.
The remains were turned over to ] US
tice William McKesson, who made an
investigation Of the accident and de-
cided that it would be unnecessary to
call coroner's jury. Later he signed
the burial certificate, giving the
cause Of death as accidental. Charles
Pella is almost crazed with grief as a
result of the accident.
The dead boy and his brother
Charley were among the best known
of the young men about the town of
Randall and universal sorrow is ex-
pressed at the sad accident. Young
Pella had been born and raisedsin the
town of Randall and with his brother,
who was wear older, hadCalways
taken a leading part in the sports
among the boys of the town. The
brothers were devoted to each other
and were always together.
The funeral of the unfortunate boy
was held from the Pella home at /
o'clock Tuesday afternoon and the
interment was at the Randall Gene
terry.

CoveI Manufacturing Co. Would
Consider Proposition to Locate
Plant in kenosha
AN OLD ESTABLISHED PLANT

The Kenosha Chamber of Conn
merce ~ has received letter from
Chicago showing that another manu-
featuring company is considering this
city as possible place for the loca-
ton of a plant. The firm is the Covel
Manufacturing company, engaged in
the manufacture of Machinery for the
sharpening of saws and other tools
and it is one of the old established
companies of Chicago.
The company was established in
1879 and has been in business ever
since. L. L. Fi1strup is the president
of the company. The letter which
states the plans of the company so
far as Kenosha is concerned follows:
Chicago, ILL.,, April 81, 1906.
Chamber of Commerce,
Kenosha, Wis,
Gent1emen-We are considering
moving our plant out of Chicago. If
you are making any inducements to
manufacturing concerns to locate in
your city we will be pleased to hear
from you. We are an old established
firm. We have been in business in
Chicago for thirty years. We make
this explanation to divert any sus-
picion that you may have that we are
a boom concern looking for a large
bonus and endeavoring to- float stock
amongst your citizens. We have no
stock for sale. Our objects for moving
are solely for the purpose of en1arg-
ing our plant and getting away from
Chicago labor influence. We employ
from $50 to 200 men, mostly skilled
mechanics. We require a factory
with about 10000 square feet of floor
space and foundry with about 5000
square feet of floor space and addi-
tional ground for enlargement. We
are about 800 machines behind on our
orders and no room in our present
quarters to enlarge our plant and in
crease our output.
Hoping to hear favorably from you,
we are,
Very truly yours,
CovEL MANUFACTURING Co.

SEASON IS OPENED
Kenosha Baseball Team Defeats
Team From Port Washington
by a Score of 7 to |
KNIPPLE LANDS A HOME RUN

The Kenosha baseball season of
1906 was opened on Sunday afternoon
and what is more to the delight of the
fans it opened right. The opposing
teams were. the new sKenosha team
and tfeir old rivals FROM Wash
ington, and the Kenosha boys wal
Hoped the Ports in the1good old way,
the score standing to in favor of
the local team.
It was grand opening from every
standpoint. The crowd at the park
numbered 1900, the diamond was In
perfect condition, Mayor German
pitched the first ball, and Big Bill
Knipple started the aseason with
home run. All of the old time fans
were. out for the opening and notwith-
standihg1the fact that the wind blew
chilly blast from the northeast none
of the fans kicked, butt remained
on the bleachers through the two
games.
The opening game was between the
Brands and the. Topaz and after FIVE
innings or play the g anne Swent to the
Topaz team withsa score Of to-. 1t
was good exhibition ofsathe national
game
Then came thessbigs'game and the
showing made by lthe IKenosha team
was all that theufans shad hoped for.
The team played with a single error
and the batting Of .the boys showed
that the team is goingsto be hitting
team from the start. 'sChick" Frasier,
of National league fame, was in the
box for Keposha and hea.put up. a
great game, allowing the Ports but
five hits while Voss,ssthe University
pitcher, who was in the boxifor the
visitors, was hard hit, the Kenosha
boys getting nine hits. Frasier struck
out twelve men and not man walked.
Voss was wild, allowing five bases on

CLEAN MAIN STREET
Outdoor Art Association and City
Unite to Keep at Least One
of the Streets Clean
PRACTICAL TEST BEING MADE

Atleast one street in the city is to
be kept clean during the remainder
of the month of April and during
May, as the officers of the Outdoor
Art association and Mayor German,
acting for the city, have reached an
agreement by which Main street will
be swept by hand daily. Two men
started work this morning and for the
next forty days the sole aim in life of
these two men will be to keep Main
street clean.
The expense Of the work is to be
divided between the city and the
association, but the city will bear the
long end of the burden. Each party
to the agreement will furnish a man
for work and the city will take charge
of the refuse swept from the street
and see that it is properly hauled
away to some dumping place. This
work of sweeping the street by hand
is to be tried for month and if the
work proves a success the scheme
will become a permanent one.
The cost Of keeping the street
clean will be a little over $40 a week,
besides the cost of hauling the dirt,
and of this amount the Outdoor Art
association will pay $10.50. The ofic-
ia1s of the association have no large
sum of money at their disposal but if
the experiment on Main street proves
a success it is planned to take up
similar work on other paved streets in
the city. This is the plan that is be-
ing used by similar associations in
other cities and Mayor German has
notified the officials of the association
that the city will aid them in doing
any work in reason.
1t is thought that the work on Main
street will show to the business men
chat the street can be kept as clean as
/ any street in the world and if this is
the fact it is thought that the bust
ness men of the city will be willing to
contribute literally to aid the work.
The work is being done under the
direction of the officials of the associ-
alton but the street commissioner is
keeping a close tab on the men at
work.

made for the future, he will not re-
turn to Kenosha.

to show them Milwaukee, and Wed.

their sightseeing tour, which was to
end disastrously.
A1teI spending the evening prone.
nading the streets they went to

lodgings for the girls, and said he
would meet them at breakfast. This
he failed to do, and after waiting
around the place till nearly noon and
having no money with which to pay
their fare they started off and walked
to Racine, arriving here early in the
evening. They were directed to the

was made to secure employment for
them in this city but without avail and
today they left for Kenosha, where
they will try to get their old jobs back.
Neither of the girls is over 18, and
