MANCHESTER CLOTH MARKET.

MANCHESTER, July 20-The cloth mar
ket showed signs of increased animation
during the early part of the week, but the
various inquiries failed to materialize, and
the turnover of the week was only moder-
ate. China continues to absorb small guam
titles on the most favorable terms possible,
but no large business developed in that
direction. The Indian business was small,
but South America took printing and
bleaching cloths more freely. Prices have
been irregular. with producers inclined to
relax their firm attitude
The turnover in yarns was disappointing.
Users of American cops are still only tax
ing sufficient for their immediate require
ments owing to the belief or the hope that
cotton will turn out more plentiful than is
expected. Quotations remained unchanged.

In making these concessions to the
Mayor, Assistant Manager Cantillion
declares that this is more than the
Northwestern Railway Company has
donein any other city in Wisconsin.
The railway company has not been in
the paving business and there are
many places about the railway
stations IN much larger cities that are
just as much of a mud hole as West
Main street about the Kenosha sta
ton.
The people of West Main street
have been ready to pave the street for
a long time and now that the railway
company has agreed to pay its share
or the cost there should be no delay in
getting the work done. The contract
with the railway company can be
closed up in month and it would be
possible to have the work done during
the present year.
This is an improvement that all the
people IN Kenosha will hail with de-
light and the Mayor is entitled to con-
siderable commentator for his per-
sistence in the fight with the railway
company.

The fair plaintiff in the action has

Bristol Man Elected Secretary Of
Old Settlers CLUB to Succeed
the Late R. F. Roberts
TO CELEBRATE ON JULY 4
Secretary of State James A. Frear, OF
Madison, Is Invited To Deliver
the Annual Address.-No
More Long Walks

Charles M. Bishop, of the village
of Bristol, was elected secretary of
the Kenosha County Old Settlers
club at the annual June meeting Of
the club at the County Court room
this morning and he will take
up the work laid down by the late r.
F. Roberts who had served the So
ciety in that capacity since its organ
ization. Frank d. Roberts will re-
main as assistant secretary of the
organization and aid the new secre-
tary.
The meeting of the directors Of the
organization was attended by many
of the members but the absence of
the old secretary SO lately deceased
cast gloom over the meeting and
time and again the president, B. H.
Stocker, of Salem, found himself re-
ferring things to the secretary as he
was wont TO do in the days when the
late r. F. Roberts practically at
tended to all the details of the clubs
work. The death of Mr.. Roberts was
the Association and all paid tribute
to his loyal service as secretary and
his high character as man.
The directors decided that the an
nual program of Fourth of July cell
ebration at the Old Settlers grounds
should be carried out, and Secretary
of State James A. Frear of Madison
was unanimously invited to deliver
the annual address. Assistant Secre-
tary Roberts has been in communica-
tion with Secretary Frear and he has
promised to speak in Kenosha county
if he speaks at any place in the state.
The celebration will be of the old
fashioned sort. There will be the
speech by Secretary Frear, which will
be followed by big picnic dinner,
and in the afternoon there will be the
usual sports and games. In the even
ing there will be dance. The an
nual reunion of the club is to be held
on the last Thursday in August, and
Congressman H. A. Cooper of Racip 2
has accepted the invitation to deliver
the annual address. Frank Roberts,
c. A. Dewey and Charles Marsh were
named as a committee to have charge
of the plans for the celebration Of
July 4th, and the president and secre-
tary will be in charge Of the arrange
ments for the annual reunion.
The directors have been informed
that with the coming of the ice house
on Paddock's Lake a switch track has
been built from Salem to the Lake
front. This will make the long walk
which has been such burden IN
other years, unnecessary, and the PEG
pie attending the celebration will be
landed at the very doors of the pavil.
ion.
After the usual routine business
the directors adjourned until the an
nual meeting which is to be held al
Paddock's Lake on the afternoon Of
I the annual reunion.

CIRCLE TO REMAIN
Legislature Refuses to Pass Bill
to Cut Out Party Circle on
the Election Ballots
STILL TO USE PARTY WHIP

Whether or not the party circle
shall be retained at the top of the
Australian ballot now IN use in Wis
consin was the cause of prolonged
and heated debate in the Assem- bly,
Friday. No action was taken and
the question will come up again for
settlement. The more radical La Fol-
1ette element in the Legislature favors
doing away with party lines, making
each tub stand on its bottom, but the
proposition is bitterly contested by
others, who object to the demoraliza-
ton of parties.
The wrangle Friday occurred on
the report of the committee on cleo
tions on bill No 367 Some time ago
the committee reported back this bill,
top of party columns. The Assembly
refused to accept the bill and in
structed the committee to report If
back with the circle at the top.
Friday the committee reported
again that it's mind was unchanged
and that it did not favor the retention
Of the party circle, and asked to be
relieved of the instructions of the
house. Thereupon the members { ..
committee we're subjected to severe
verbal castigation by many of their
fellows for disregarding the instruc.
tons of the Assembly.
Messrs. A1dridge, Ledwina, Car.
penter, Nye, Burke and Sprague dis
liked the action of the committee,
while Messrs. Roycraft, Stout, In,
gram, McGregor, Grassie aud Rey-
nolds defended its action. Mr.. Gras-
sic denied that even a ma ority of the
house could compel committee to do
its clerical work. Finally the com
mittee was relieved of its instructions.
Mr.. Kuckuk then moved that the
chair appoint committee of five to
work in conjunction with the commit
tee on elections to prepare bill re-
tanning the party circle.
Mr.. Bancroft believed in killing the
committee bill and letting the present
law stand. He was against wiping
out party lines. Politics had been
the cleanest when party feeling ran
highest. He hoped soon to see the
Democratic party become strong in
stead of demora1ized mob. Finally
Mr.. Kuckuk withdrew his motion, but
no further action was taken by the
Assembly.

Country club is planning to send
large delegation to Madison and it is
pretty certain that a number of the
Kenosha golfers will make a mark in
the championship fight. The back

work of the Kenosha golfers, but it
is pretty certain that they will be in
the pink of condition by the time the

HAD NARROW ESCAPE
Assessor Biennemann Dragged BY
Street Car in Chicago on Friday

Assessor Biennemann Dragged By a
Street Car in Chicago on Friday
Assessor Henry Biennemann had a
very narrow escape from serious IN
jury IN Chicago on Friday afternoon
when he was dragged many feet by a
rapidly moving street car, and was
fortunate enough to escape with
slight bruises from which he will suf-
fer for several days.
The accident occurred at the corner
of West Madison and Paulina streets
on the West side of Chicago. The
Assessor and John Sershon had gone
to Chicago in the morning, and late in
the afternoon they had gone over to
the West side to look after some bust
ness interests, When they we're
ready to start for the railway station
they stopped at the corner where the
accident occurred and waited for
car, but they were on the wrong cor
.ner, and when the car came along the
motorman paid no attention to them.
Blennenann, anxious to catch train
for home, made dive for the car and
caught it, but he lost his footing and
slipped. He was dragged across the
street before he could release his
hold, and was deposited in a conven-
lent mudhole of the kind so prevalent
on the west side of Chicago.
The motorman stopped the car as
soon as possible and the passengers
aided Sershon in picking up the asses
sor. A carriage was called and the
injured man was taken to the home of
friends on the West side. A physi-
clan was summoned and an examina-
ton showed that Mr.. Biennemann
had escaped with painful wrench of
the shoulder. People who witnessed
the accident declare that the Kenosha
man was very fortunate to escape
without more serious injury.
AS a result of the accident Mr..
Biennemann was forced to borrow
suit of clothing from one of his Chi
cago friends, as the portion of his
clothing not torn off was so saturated
with mud and water that it was unfit
to wear. Mr.. Biennemaun was not at
his usual work with the other asses
sors this morning, as he is nursing his
badly bruised shoulder at his home on
Durkee avenue. 1t is expected that
he will be at work again on Monday
or Tuesday.
