STORES ARE NEEDED
Outside Companies Anxious to
Open Stores Here But Can
not Secure Buildings
PLAN TO BUILD BIG BUILDINGS

One of the greatest needs of Keno
sha today is store buildings. Com
panies with money to invest are
knocking at the doors of the city
anxious to go into business but they
are not able to secure rooms. Helm
Ornstein, the biggest dealers in gem
eral merchandise in Waukegan, are
seeking to open a department store in
the city and agents of the company
have been here several times during
the last month seeking to purchase a
lease of some building suitable for
this purpose. The company is one of
the biggest mercantile companies
along the north shore, and it is the
plan of the firm to establish stores in
Kenosha, Fond du Lac and Oshkosh.
Fancy prices have been offered for
leases, and it is now stated that the
managers of the company are seeking
to secure land in the business portion
of the city on which TO erect a large
building for their own use.
Another firm that comes to Kenosha
seeking a location is the big clothing
firm of Levenson Brothers, formerly
of Louisville, Ky. This firm is backed
by plenty of capital.
There are men in Kenosha today
who are anxious to go into business
but no store rooms can be secured. In
the past few years the business dis
trict of thefcity has been extending
steadily to the west, and it may be
necessary for these big companies to
build buildings west Of Church street.
New buildings are being planned
for Main street, but they have been
rented from the time the first sketch
is made by the architects and the
owners of the proposed buildings have
been offered large bonuses to make
contracts for leases.
This demand for buildings seems to
offer profitable investment for some
Of the capitalists Of the city, and if
these buildings were put up they
would undoubtedly yield large in
come on the money invested.

EAGLES A YEAR OLD
kenosha Aerie Have Big CeIebra-
ton Thursday Night in Honor
Of Their First Anniversary
MANY FROM OTHER CITIES

The Kenosha Aerie Of the Fraterna1
Order of Eagles celebrated the first
anniversary of the founding of the or
der in Kenosha Thursday night, and
in honor of the event a company of
more than 500 of the members and
friends Of the order gathered at Ger
mania hall for a banquet and dance.
The long tables almost completely filled
the room. The tables were elaborate
1y decorated with carnations and
snilax, while the big hall was re-
sp1endent in decorations of flags,
palms and flowers. A floral emblem
representing the badge of the organi-
zation was one of the features of the
decorations.
The banquet was served at O'Clock
and gathered around the board were
nearly all Of the members of the
Aerie and their lady friends, and
added to the number was a large
crowd Of invited guests from Racine,
Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit and
other cities. There we're no speeches
but at IL O'Clock the floor was cleared
and the Eagles and their friends en-
joyed an informal dance. Schmidt S
orchestra furnished the music for the
dancing which continued until early
morning.
The Eagles have made a record in
Kenosha Of which they may well be
proud. When the chapter was organi-
ed year ago yesterday the charter
membership was less than hundred,
and in the year more than a hundred
members shave been added. The or
ganiza ton now has one of the largest
memberships among the fraternal So
cieties in the city. During the year
the Eagles have opened a beautiful
hall and the treasury of the society is
we'll filled with money. A number OF
the leading officials of the state or
garizationsof the order came to attend
the banquet and dance.

THE state uperintendent of the
Humane society never hit nearer the
mark than when he said the absence
of the Kenosha branch would be ap-
preciated by drunken parents and
fiendish drivers and owners of horses
and other animals, but we do not be-
heve that these people will ever get a
chance to rejoice over the stopping Of
the work in this city. The records for
the past year show too conclusively
the need for branch of the society in
this city, and we hope that the time
will never come when it can be said
of Kenosha people that they refused
to give both moral and financial
support to the Humane society We
believe that when the matter is pre-
sented to the members of the society
and the public in general that the
funds to carry on the work of the
society will be immediately forth
coming.

Pioneer Resident and Former
Postmaster Of the City Died
at His Home Wednesday
RESIDED SIS YEARS IN COUNTY
Mr.. Rice Had Been Feeble for Many
Months, and Death Came as Re-
suit of General Breaking
Down Due to Old Age

Samuel T. Rice, one of the best
known of the early pioneer citizens of
the county and former postmaster of
Kenosha, died at his home on Grand
avenue just before S O'Clock Wednes-
day evening at the age of 80 years.
Mr.. Rice was one of the oldest men in
the county and he had been in falling
health for many months. Feebleness
brought on by old age had made him
almost helpless during theG1ast few
weeks and for some time lie had been
confined to his bed. He grew weaker
| Wednesday morning and the members
Of the family were called to his bed
side. He was unconscious much of
the afternoon and the enc. came peace
fully.
The death of Samuel T. Rice marks
the passing Of man who has been
closely connected with the develop
ment of Kenosha city and county for
over sixty years. He wassa man uni
versally known among the,peop1e of
the county and was rated.,as one of
Kenosha's wealthiest citizens.
He was born in the town of Solwall,
Warren county, New York, on March
l29, 1917. He was son Of Simon S.
and Elizabe Harrington Rice. Mr..
Rice came west in 1912, and settled at
Southport. On May / Of the same
year he was married to Miss Matilda
Judd, a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
James w. Judd, early pioneer resi-
dents of the county. Mrs. Rice died
a few years ago at the family home
stead on Grand avenue.
Ia 1843 Mr.. Rice purchased a large
farm in thes town of Parisswhich he
owned for many years. He gave up
much of hisstime in the early days to
the work Of building, and he was
prominent in politics IN the early
times. He served in thelpositions of
road commissioner, town clerk and
assessor. In 1848 he was appointed
postmaster of Kenosha, which office
he held for period!of eight years.
Politically Mr.. Rice was one sof the
original Freesoilers, but when the
Republican party was organized in
1856 he espoused the principles Of that
party and he had been ardent in the
support of Republican E,principles
ever since. Many years ago hesbought
the splendid property adjoining the
city which he ownedsup to lifetime of
his death.
The deceased is survived by three
children 80 Fred "A. Rice, Mrs. Inez
Rice Keller, widow of the late Rev.
John Keller, Of Baltimore, and Mrs.
William T. Mcintyre, all of..whom are
now residing in Kenosha.

IT has always been the general i'm
preston that the charter under which
the Northwestern railroad holds the
right of way through Kenosha pro-
vided that all trains of every kind and
description should stop at this station,
but the time has come when the rights
of the city and railroad must be clear
1y defined and possibly tested in the
courts. According to the new
schedule advertised today the North
western proposes to cut off it's fast
train service from this city and run
its finest trains through without stop
ping. If the officials of the road think
for minute that this city, which pays
more money into the Golfers of the
company than any other city Of its
size on the entire system, is going to
tamely submit to anything of the
kind they are very much mistaken,
and the minute they try it they are
going to have a fight on their hands
without any delay. Kenosha pays ii
its money to the Northwestern ex.
clusively, but it is entitled to the best
service the road can give and this city
does not propose to be made way
station if can be prevented.

Chairman z. c. Simmons, Of Re.
lief Committee, Would Aid San
francisco With a Large Sum
PLACE KEN0SHA IN THE LEAD
Mr.. Simmons Offers to Make Large
Contributions if the City Will Raise
7,5OO-Reports Show Money
Coming in Slowly

IL Simmons, who heads the gem
eral committee in charge of the col
lection Of funds for San Francisco
sufferers, is ambitions to place Keno
sha at the head of the list of all cities
in the nation having population of
10000 or less, and for this reason he
made a generous offer at the first
meeting of the committee Wednesday
night. The offer of Mr.. Simmons was
to make a contribution of 81, 500 to the
fund if the members of the committee
would raise from other sources 81, 800
This would bring the total from Keno
sha up to $4,000, and it is certain that
this would be the largest contribution
given by any city of the size in the
nation. Most cities of the size of Ke-
nosha have been satisfied with con-
tributions Of few thousand dollars,
and many of them have not passed
the few hundred mark. In making
this offer to the committee, Mr.. Sim
mons stated that his company had
been heavy loser in the earthquake
and fire, and had it not been for this
he would be DESTROYS of making a
much larger contribution to the fund,
but that under the circumstances he
would be forced to limit his gift. Mr..
Simmons has already given $1,000 to
the fund. Or this amount $500 was
given to the fund raised by the Uni
tartan church, and an equal amount
was subscribed to the fund now being
raised by the Commercial Association
in Chicago.
At the meeting of the committee
Wednesday evening only nine mem
bers were present, and the report of
the treasurer showed that collections
to the amount of about $1,000 had been
made. During the meeting of the
committee William Wakefield, repre-
senting the Bricklayers' union of the
city, appeared before the committee
and presented $40, which had been
raised among the members of the
union. Many lists, which had been
sent out, have already been turned
over to Treasurer William F. Fisher,
and these lists show that many people
have made only small contributions.
G. H. Curtis reported that the en-
ployes of the Chicago Kenosha Ho-
siery Co. had raised a fund of S316.25.
The contribution from the Allen tam
merry was $500, and the managers of
the Simmons company announced
that the fund at that factory would
touch the $500 mark before the paper
was turned in. A gift of $3.50 was re-
ceived from the Kenosha Lodge of
Elks, and it was announced that a
fund of 800 had been raised at the
Badger Brass Works. Other factories
are still to be heard from.
In order to get the work started bet
ter, a committee, consisting of George
A. Yu1e, Thomas B. Jeffery, Frank
Slosson, c.. w. Allen and z. G.. Sim
mons, was named to make visit to
the Weather people of the city and
solicit some more preventative con-
tributions for the fund. This COM
mittee will make an effort to raise the
balance of the So, 500 to claim the gift
offered by Mr.. Simmons.
No money will be sent to San Fran
cisco until after the next meeting of
the committee, which will be held on
Monday evening.
