A clear knockout took place at Tay- Tor, Curtis & Co.'s, Wednesday after noon between Carl Slater ssand Martin Corbett. Corbett was there with the name but not with the goods as the latter was an easy victim and was very much out classed. Perhaps ..this will hold Corbett until he gets his next payment. INV. H.

My Dear Editor: It is quite stretch
 of years since in 1886, I was a resident of your beautiful town and stored up
 so many precious memories of the place
 and the people. Sunday last was
 again on the familiar ground and was
 guest of Pastor Osborne and his good
 lady and the parsonage was never more inviting and hospitable than now. The
 church also is winsome and artistic.
 How the furniture and carpets and
 cushions and lamps all attract one and are restful to the eye, bright and spot less as they are. and though so many faces and families have disappeared yet the few are reverent and loyal and
 devoted. On Monday, the 17th, a
 number of us were the guests of Mrs
 Emily Bennett on her birthday anniver- sary. Brother Obsorne and lady were present. Mrs Susan Hall and Mrs Charles Curtiss were among the invit- ed guests. Charles Parsons and Wal ter E. Patchen, a former pastor, con- tributed largely to the brightness and cheer of the occasion. Mrs Bennett surpassed herself in the attractiveness and beauty of her table and in her fine qualities as hostess. Many bright things were uttered and cheerfulness was the order of the hour. Prayer and song closed up the memorable event. For very many years the Wheeler home has been the headquarters of presiding elders and preachers and visitors and it seems as though it would ever be so. Few persons have been so much to the church and education and to all the re- fnements of life as has been Mrs Ben nett, and hers is worthy and honor able record.-[J. s. Haugh.

Frances ShoIes, Granddaughter OF
Kenosha Pioneer, Is Found
Dead in Her Room

{ From fridays Daily

Miss Frances Sholes, daughter of
Frank Sholes, former resident Of
Kenosha and granddaughter Of G..
Latham Sholes, a former editor of the
Kenosha Telegraph and one of the best
known Of the pioneer residents Of Ke-
nosha, was found dead in her bed at
her home in Evanston Thursday morn
ing. Death had resulted from asphyxi-
alton from illuminating gas and a coro-
ner's jury which investigated the case
returned an open verdict. 1t is claim
ed that the young woman had been de
spondent on account Of the fact that
her father and mother had separated
some years ago and this fact is thought
to have in way been responsible for
the death of the daughter. Miss
Sholes was % years of age and widely
known in the younger social set in
Evanston. She was also well known
to many people in Kenosha.
The dead body Of Miss Sholes was
found by her maid who went to the
room to call the young lady for break
fast. She found the door locked and
finally broke the lock only to find the
young woman dead on the bed. The
gas was flowing from an open gas jet
and physicians who were called at once
declared that the young woman had
been dead for many hours. Mrs
Sholes was not at home at the time, she
being at one of the exclusive hotels in
Evanston.
After the separation of Mr.. and Mrs
Sholes five years ago the husband had
remarked and the daughter and son.
20 years of age, had lived in Evanston
with their mother. It is claimed that
the daughter and her father had been
very close friends and that out Of her
regard for her father she had changed
her name from Frances to Frank. :"
AL efforts to notify Mr.. Sholes of the
death of his daughter yesterday were
futile as he could not be located The
young woman was buried in the family
plat at the Evanston Cemetery this af-
ternoon.
The Sholes family was one of the
most prominent families in Kenosha in
the earlier days and Frank Sholes was
the best known member of the family
After leaving Kenosha he went to Mil
waukee, where he was married and his
daughter was born and shortly after
her birth the FAMILY went to live in
Evanston. Members of the family had
visited in Kenosha many times during
the past few years

NOT TO PLAY MENASHA
Kenosha Team Will Not Meet the New
Team During the Closing Season

The Kenosha Lake Shore League
fans will not have chance to see the
playing abilities of the new Menasha
team in the league this season as the
schedule for the team has been arrang-
ed and it will not meet the Kenosha
team. This is due to the fact that the
Kenosha team has played it's full quota
of games with the Waukegan team
whose place Menasha took. Menasha
will have to meet all of the strong
teams in the league and will not get a
chance against Kenosha, Racine or the
Ports. The only team N the second di-
vision to play at Menasba will be the
Milwaukee team.
Kenosha will play Milwaukee on
next Sunday afternoon and Manager
Breen is going to make an e1lort to
break the hoodoo that has been over
Kenosha with Milwaukee and win at
least this one game before the close
of the series. The Kenosha team has
not defeated the Milwaukee team this
season.
