Welded 25 YEARS
The Rev. and Mrs. E, 7. FarriII
Guests of Honor at a Recep.
ton Thursday Night
GET SPLENDID SILVER GIFT

The Rev. Edward T. Farrill and
Miss Mary Alice Fenner of Provi-
dence, Rhode Island, were married
just twenty five years ago on Thurs
day at the Pilgrim Congregational
church, Providence, and the pass
ing Of the silver anniversary was
made the event of one of the most
pleasant gatherings ever heldaein the
parlors of the Congreg ational church.
A large number of the members of
the church turned out to do honor to
the minister and his bride of twenty
five years and the church was elabor-
ate1y decorated for the occasion.
Mr.. Farril1 had announced during
the week that there would be recep-
zion at the church on Thursday even
ing, but the splendid entertainment
provided for the minister and his wife
came as complete surprise to them.
The par1ors were decorated with all
sorts of flowers and plants and they
never looked prettier. At the door
the guests we're greeted by a recep
ton committee consisting of Mrs
George S. Baldwin, who had the homo
Of being the oldest member of the
church present; Mrs. Charles H. Hurd,
who represented the Ladies' Aid So
ciety, and Fred Perkins, who repre-.
sented the officers of the chur CHI.
Rev. Farri11 and his wife also assisted
in receiving the guests, Mrs. Farrill
wearing the dress she had worn at
the wedding a quarter century ago.
After the formal reception was over
program was rendered in which
many of the we'll known entertainers
of the church took part.
At the close of the program came
the most interesting efeature of the
reception when A. E. Buckmaster,
representing the member of the con-
gregation, in few we'll chosen words
presented the minister and his wife
with big bowl which was filled to its
capacity with silver coins. Every
member of the church had given
something to swell the amount and
the gift was certainly one worthy of
the occasion. Mr.. Farri1l and his wife
were taken entirely by surprise and it
was several minutes before the minis
ter could respond in accepting the
gift. The kindness of the members
of the church moved him almost to
tears, but he spoke acknowledging the
gift and telling the people that the
dearest memory of his pastorate in
kenosha was the fact that the people
of the church had been so friendly to
him and his family.
Following the presentation refresh
ments were served after which Rev
and Mrs. Farrill and the members of
the church spent a pleasant social
hour together.

Bogus Pauper, Telling of Sick Wife and
Child, Works Racine
The Racine Times contains the fol-
lowing article which may be of inter-
est to the people of Kenosha:
Presidents of the south side who
during the last several days have been
touched by the tender appeal of a
sickly looking individual who told
story of how his wife was sick and he
was unable to work, have come to the
conclusion that they have been victim
lied by clever sharper and that the
individual in question is considerable
money ahead as the result of his
ingenuity. The fellow appeared on
the south side on Labor Day, and
after relating his Ghard luck would
solicit dollar with which to get a
prescription filled for his sick wife.
His story rarely failed sto land the
dollar, and now chat he lis known to
have touched upIsome fifty well known
residents, there lis "a general desire
to get another look at thesfellow who,
appreciating his popularity at present,
has evidently started for new fields of
work.

A FUNNY COLLISION
A Horse and Bicycle Came Together
in a Strange Mix-up

A Horse and bicycle Came IOgetneT
in Strange Mix-up
What came near being serious &C
cident occurred at the corner of Main
and Wisconsin streets, near the Hotel
Eiche1man, on Wednesday evening
about O'Clock. A young man on a
bicycle came in collision with another
young man coming around the corner
from the opposite direction driving a
horse attached to light rig. For
tunately neither of the young men
we're seriously injured.
The funny part of the nix-up oc-
Cured after the danger was past.
After the young fellow on the bicycle
succeeded in disentang1ing himself
from the wheels of the wagon and was
brushing the dirt from his clothes and
taking an inventory of his injuries,
he was confronted by the young man
with the horse and rig, who demand
ed that he settle for the damages to
his rig by the collision, claiming that
the axle was sprung and his rig dam
aged generally. The crowd of men
and boys gave the young fellow with
the rig the ''horse laugh h" as he drove
away.

great deal to do with the future
policies of the order.

Miss Elizabeth Bush Of Kempse
Hall Faculty Burned By Ex-
plosion Of Alcohol Stove
SIGHT SAID TO BE UNINJURED
Young Woman Was Terribly Burned
About the Face at the Home of T. H.
Ellison in Winnetka and Will Be
Laid Up For Sometime

Miss Elizabeth Bush, formerly
member of the faculty at Kemper
Hall and one of the best known young
women of Kenosha society, was badly
injured at Winnetka on Wednesday
evening by the explosion of an
alcohol stove. She is confined to her
room at the home of T. H. Ellison in
Winnetka and it is possible that it
will be several weeks before she is
able to be out. Friends of Miss Bush
in Kenosha have been notified that
while her burns are very painful the
physicians believe that her eyes were
not injured and that the burns will
heal without the we'll known lady be-
ing disfgured.
Miss Bush had been at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellison for some time
and on Wednesday evening she was
caring for the children of the house
hold. She desired to heat some milk
for one Of the smaller children and
purpose. The stove had been used
many times before and had shown no
signs of danger but it is thought that
it had begun TO leak and in second
after Miss Bush lighted the lamp the
flames spread all over the lamp.
Miss Bush attempted to prevent the
flames from the alcohol spreading to
the house and in this way she got her
face too near the burning lamp. The
flames leaped into HERITAGE burning
her in many places. AS soon as pos.
sible aid was summoned and physi-
clans called to attend the injured lady.
The physicians found half dozen
very bad burns on the head and face,
but the hair was not burned from the
head nor did the flames extend to the
eyes. Miss Bush suffered a great deal
from the shock of the accident, and
since the accident she has been suf-
fering from severe nervous strain.
The injured lady was preparing to
go abroad for the winter and was to
have left for New York within few
days. It is not thought that the acct
dent will force her to give up the trip
abroad, but she will probably be
forced to change her plans and await
her recovery from the burns.
Miss Bush Is still at the home of her
friends at Winnetka and she will
probably remain there until she re-
covers from the effects of the burns
and the shock OF the accident. There
was no damage to the house or the
furnishings as result of the accident

"Mr. Kerr's magnificent, mellow,
flexible voice was never heard to bet
ter advantage than in the well-chosen
and cleverly contrasted numbers Of
last evenings program. Schubert,
Wagner, Gounod and Verdi exem pill
fed the classic and semi classic school,
and such talented modern song writer's
as Foote, Chadwick, Beach and Lacy
gave charming variety. Wagner's
ever beautiful aria, "Oh, Thou Divine,
Sweet Evening Star from Tam

and richness of tone and feeling, the
great volume of Mr.. Kerr's voice be.
ing skillfully restrained, without be-
ing muff1ed. to carry forth its linked
sweetness of consecutive phrase. The
laughing serenade from Gounod's
"Faust', the most difficult number of
the program, was splendidly rendered,
its dual spirit Of love and merriment
being elected to the full.

TO START WORK SOON
Directory Publishers Will Begin
Work on kenosha Directory
Within Another Week
CITY TO SHOW BIC GROWTH

Mrs. H. C. Wright, of Milwaukee,
who is to publish the new city direc-
tory for Kenosha, has notified people
interested in the work here that the
work of collecting the names for the
directory will be started within
another week and it is expected that
the new directory will be issued early
in January.
The directory this year will be the
largest in the history of the city. 1t
will contain not only the usual useful
matter that has appeared ii the direc-
tory in other years but it will also
contain directory of the county.
The supervision of the work will
be done by Mrs. Wright, widow of the
late A. 6. Wright. Mr.. Wright has
died since the last Kenosha directory
was issued but Mrs. Wright has just
completed the work of getting out
the Milwaukee directory and she was
SO successful with this work that
there is no doubt but that the Keno
sha book will be equally as good as
its fore runners.
The preliminary canvass of the city
for the work has been completed and
the representative of the company
declare that the work when it comes
out will show that Kenosha has made
a rapid growth in the past two years.
The men who are conducting this
canvass and who have made the
directory business a life work and
who for this reason are experts in
estimating population take issue with
the school census which shows de-
crease in the population of the city in
the last year and they declare that
regardless of the figures of the school
census the city of Kenosha is growing
and growing at a very rapid rate. It
is estimated by these men that the
forthcoming directory will show that
kenosha has population of not less
than $4,000 and the number may be
even larger.
The new directory will have an
edition of at least Eve hundred copies
and all of thera will be sold before the
copy goes to press.

FIXES THE LIMITS
Major Judson, Of the War Depart
ment, Sends Notice to Mayor
ofNeW Dumping Grounds
PROSECUTIONS MAY FOLLOW

Major Judson, of Milwaukee, who
is in charge of the government en-.
cheering work IN this district, has
notified Mayor German that the gov
eminent has arranged limits for the
dumping of sand and other material
taken from the Kenosha harbor by
the various dredging contractors, and
a map showing the location of the
dumping grounds has been sent to the
mayor and has been posted up IN the
gostofice. The map shows that the
dumping ground for all dredged ma
terial is located mile and half east
of the pier light. The place has been
selected by the government engineers
and it is placed so as to eliminate any
possibility of the matter dredged from
the harbor being carried back into the
harbor entrance. In the future this
limit must be observed by every one
employed to dredge the harbor. It is
claimed that in other years contrac-
tors have done dredging work in the
harbor and they have dumped the dirt
removed in such way that it has
been carried back into the harbor
with the first northeast storm. It is
possible that this in a measure gives
reason for the pollution from the
tannery being brought back from the
lake at certain times.
The letter of ajor Judson TO Mayor
German explains the cards which
have been posted for the guidance of
the contra ctors. 1t follows:
Milwaukee, Wis, August 80, 1907
James German, Mayor of Kenosha,
Wis.-Dear Sir send you herewith
two prints showing the dumping
grounds for dredged material in the
vicinity of Kenosha harbor, Wis, ap-.
proved by the Secretary of War under
Act of Congress of March 8, 1899. To
enforce the penalty for violation of
the law in dumping the dredged ma
teria1 otherwise than prescribed it is
necessary that notice showing the
dumping grounds be posted at each
locality, where they have been deter.
mined.
have to request in the interest of
Kenosha harbor that you will have
the sketches posted in public places
lone in the postofice) and secured so
they will be reasonably permanent.
Please acknowledge the receipt of
this and inform me if you will give
this request your attention.
Very respectfully,
W. v. JUDsoN,
Major, Corps of Engineers.
