SHOOTING STARS THIS WEEK
Nature to Give Exhibition of Fireworks
Before the End of the Week


Nature S own fireworks will entertain
the sl1ygazers this week without the
formality OF an admission fee. The oc-
casion is the annual collision of the
earth with the Perseids, flock of ezra
ts meteors with pyrotechnic proclivi-
ties. The shooting star visitation be-
gan last night and will be especially
brilliant tonight and tomorrow night
The meteors start their downward
course from the northeast section Of
the heavens, leaving long streaks of
fire behind them, often across half the
sky. They will be generally observed
this year by astronomers. s9The shoot
ing stars are fragments of disinte-
grated comet which still travel around
the sum- said Professor w. D. Mac
MILAN Of the University of Chicago
astronomy department. last night. "The
earth is now passing through them
somewhat like baseball through a
swarm of gnats. They are called
Perseids because they come from the
direction of the constellation Perseus.
The meteors will shoot toward the
earth, but it is unlikely that more than
a few will reach this planet.

Men Who Fought in Philippines En-
titled to Tokens of Recognition

Spanish war soldiers may obtain the
special medal by Congress to the men

colors and are of bronze. The diverse
side has an advancing column of
soldiers engraved upon it. On the re-
verse is inscribed, Patriotism, Forti-
tude and Loyalty

entitled to medal, but he must ask
for it. A letter to the war depart
ment will bring him blank which
ne must fill out and have certified be-
for a notary public. An Identified

Contractor Notified That Market
Square Improvement Will Be
Stopped by Injunction
DEMAND THE ORIGINAL PLANS
City Attorney Admits that He has Been
Notified but that Professors Will
Appear Before the Council
Before They Act

The contractor in charge of the inn
provement of Market Square has been
notified that the work on the square
will be stopped by injunction if the
present plan for the Improvement of
the square is not amended. No in
junction has been issued by any of the
court commissioners in the city, but
several men who are said to represent
the protesting tax payers met at the
office of the city attorney this morning
and stated their demands in regard to
the. improvement and at the request
of the city attorney it was agreed that
the injunction would not be issued until
after the matter had been laid before
the Common Council. The men back
ing the protest have not come out into
the open, but Attorney Slater states
that several well known property own
ers are behind the movement.
The movement seems to be backed
by men who favor the carrying out Of
the original plan proposed for the i'm
.proyement Of the square ard it is claim
ed that these men w. be willing to
permit the elimination of the walk from
the center of the square, but that they
will not allow any further change in
the plans. These men claim that all
action the Council has taken in regard
to the change of the plans is illegal
on account Of the fact that the plans
were adopted by former council and
that the contract was let on the plans
as adopted at that time. They insist
further that before the Council
could take any steps to make changes
in the plans for the work it would be
necessary to rescind the action of the
former Council and make a. new con-
tract. This matter was threshed out
before the Council some time ago and
the mayor held that it would not be
necessary to rescind the action of the
former Council as the contractor was
willing to permit the changes in the
plan. The protesting tax payers when
they appear before the Council on next
Monday evening will insist that the
park be placed in the center of the
square and that roadway on either
side be Of equal width Under the
present plan recently adopted by the
Council the roadway on the rorth side
of the park will be four feet wider
than that on the south side Of tho park
way. The taxpayers new demand that
the roadway be left 38 feet on either
side of the parkway. The change was
made on account of the fact that it was
thought possible that at some time the
Kenosha Electric Railway Company
might seek to lay double track on the
north side Of the square, but it is de-
elared that the Railway company has
no plans for double track here. The
protests and threats of injunction will
probably result in the work of improve
ment being delayed. The protesting
taxpayers declare that they have no de-
sire to delay the work, but they seek
to have it done in manner in keeping
with the wishes of the greater number
Of the taxpayers Of the city. The de-
vclopments in the matter will be
watched with interest

DON'T WANT HORSES
Police Chief has Mystery With Two
Horses Held for Several Weeks

The police office has mystery in the
way Of bay mare and two years old
bay colt which have been in the keep
ing of the department. since the last Of
July and notwithstanding the fact that
the officials have been advertising for
the owner of the animals no one has
called to claim them and they are still
being maintained at the expense of the
chief. When the two horses were pick
ed up 1T was supposed that they had
wandered away from some farm near
the city, but no farmer can be found
who will claim the two animals. The
chief is beginning to believe that the
horses were stolen from some place dis
tant from Kenosha and that the thief
despaired Of being able to get away
with them and abandoned them here
Tie two horses are worth at low
estimate 5000. Sc

The Kenosha base ball team played

mond by score Of to 0. Inc tickle
fans of Kenosha have taken the team
to their hearts again as a result Of the
victory and there was great rejoicing in
Kenosha fandom Sunday night. The
defeat of the Racine team seemed to
be an easy matter for the Kenosha team
on Sunday and they did the job with SO
little exertion that it would look as if
there was nothing to the Racine series.
The Kenosha team seems to have bene-
fitted by the recent turning in Of the
suits and while there were only two
changes in the line up Sunday there
was a very noticeable change in the
playing in some of the players. There
never was a time when Racine had

for Racine, also pitched some He at,
lowed four hits, but the Kenosha bat
tors managed to bunch the hits IN with
a couple Of rank errors by the Racine
players and that gave them four runs.
The other run was clean earned run.
Pease was the new man in center field
and he made a good showing getting
hit and playing a perfect game in
the field
The victory over Racine puts Keno
sha in fourth place closely crowding
the Ports. Kenosha is scheduled to
play Chicago next Sunday, but as Chi
cago is on the ragged edge Of drop
ping out of the league it is probable
that this game will be called off. Man
ager Breen is making an effort to get
a game with the Leland Giants for the

will be arranged. A large number of

to witness the game and the crowd was
