CoNLEY AFTER WALSH
Kenosha Fighter Issues Challenge to
Fight Jimmy Walsh of Boston


Jacob Giles, Frank Conley's Kenosha.
manager, is not discouraged at the lack
of attention shown his man by others
of his class and has started out on an
other tack. He is out with challenge
to match Conley with Jimmy Walsh,
the Boston champion at lis pounds.
Giles offers to have his man make lis
pounds at the ringside or permit Walsh
to weigh what he pleases and to split
the purse in any manner suggested by
the Bostonian, even to winner all
basis Any number of rounds from
fifteen to forty-fve, or even farther,
will suit Conley. Giles says also that
he viii post forfeit for side bet at
any time Walsh says so.
This offar is not confined to Walsh
alone, but goes for any of the other
little fellows from lis to 118 pounds
nobody barred Giles has had a num-
Der of forfeits up to show his sincerity
and will give Conley the backing he
says ne will

MEN FOR FARMERS
State Labor Bureau Helps Farmers to
Get Men to Work on Farms

Since the publication of the notice
last week to the effect that the Com
missioner Of Labor at Madison is be-
ing besieged by applications from farm
ers all over the state for help on the
farms, the Commissioner writes us that
he has received several hundred applica-
lions for places on farms. Farmers de-
string help should write the Commits
sioner of Labor before it is too late,
stating their wants, when they will be
promptly put in communication with
men desiring work. The Commissioner
writes that many Of these applications
are from married men who formerly
lived on farms, moved to the city but
failed to find what they had anticipated
city life to be, now desire to get back
to the farm, and begin life over again.
Other applicants are young men from
both the country and the city who want
farm work. No better class of men
have ever applied to the Bureau of
Labor than are now applying for work.

Racine Team Defeats Kenosha in In

d~SV0~RS@@A
The game last evening at the Y. M.
G. A. between the Kenosha Indoor
Base Ball team and the Racine knights
of Columbus team was one of the best
and most exciting games ever played
in this city. The game went thirteen
innings, Racine finally winning by the
score of 9 to T.
Kenosha scored early in the game,
getting three runs in the first inning
but Racine came right back with three
in the second and soon passed the home
team, leading at the beginning of the
ninth by the score of z to 4. In the
last half of this inning Breenan, short
stop for the visitors, team made three
errors which together with some good
hitting by the Kenosha team yielded
three runs and tied the score. From
this to the thirteenth the game was nip
and tuck, Racine finally pushing two
runs over after two were out on two
hits and an error by Whitaker. Ke-
nosha could not score in their half Of
this inning. Both Yule, the Kenosha
pitcher and Burke, for Racine, pitched
star games and were well supported by
their catchers, Herman and Miller.
Yule struck out II and Burke %.

Kenosha is to have new fraternal
organization in the near future as H.
J. Flentje of Milwaukee, the state
organizer of the Improved Order of
Red Men, is at work in the city and he
is planning to have tribe of the order
installed here in a short time. The
Order is one of the old fraternal orders
of the country and it is rather unusual
that tribe Of Red Men has not been
formed in Kenosha before this time
Nearly every city in Wisconsin has its
tribe of Red Men and the institution of
the Kenosha Tribe will probably be a.
time long to be remembered.

After Much Tunns|Ing uadtr Pave.
menl, NortInen Find Sewer Tap.
TWO DAYS OF CONTINUAL DIGGING
Workmen Started shoveIins up Wash
ineton Avenue and Then Turned
About and Dug Down the Avenue---
Street Car Service Impaired.

After two days Of steady digging
under the asphalt pavement ON wash
ington avenue near Twenty fifth
street, City Engineer Pearse and his
force of workmen yesterday after
noon finally discovered the sewer tap
by which the pipe from the belmont
hotel Is connected with to the Wash
lngton avenue main. The discovery
came as a great relief 10 the work
men. who were about at the conclu-
sion that the tap did not exist
The nrnt for the elusive tap began
Tuesday morning. The men cut a big
chunk out of the pavement on the
cast side OF the avenue and dug down
into the ground for about six feet
City Engineer Pearse then marked
on the pavement where the tap ought
10 be and the men began tunnelling
toward that mark. The mark Was
reached and passed and stil no tap
could oe found.
Satisfied that a mistake had been
made, the men turned about and tun-
nelled down the avenue. They work
ed hard and industrially and the
dirt that flew before their shovels
was piled up on the street beside
the gaping hole in the paving. StiliI
the digging went merrily along AMI
hundreds CT passers-by stopped to-
have look and to ask questions what
il was all about Fortunately the men
under the ground didn't have to
answer the questions of the inquisitiveI
who happened TO pass by.
Late yesterday afternoon word came
from the inermost depths of the hole
IN the ground that the wil-'o-wisp OF
tap had been discovered and every
body heaved a sigh. Now the repairs
10 the sewer will be made
After that comes the packing back
into the tunnels of the dirt that has
been taken out of the holes. To
descend the main hole and look
around at the various tunnels that
branch away, one would think that
an immense ground mole had been
at work
Ever since the digging began the
street car system here has been com
pleteiy deranged No cars are allow
ed to run over Washington avenue be-
tween Twenty sixth street and Tween
| ty-fifth street All cars inward bound
for the shipyard terminal go over the
! Tnirty-fourth street bridge and all
cars leaving the Fortieth street termi-
nal 60 out over Twenty eighth street.
\ The cars running between the c &
o. depot and F1fty-fifth street run
along Huntington avenue instead OF
Washington avenue and use the
Twenty third street track to the depot
instead of the Twenty fourth street
track. And these are the first regu-
lar cars that have run on Hunting
ton avenue in many moons
\ II is figured that the work at
Twenty fifth street will be completed
| within "a hours and then the city can
on.e more assume the normal tenor
of it's way.

The company presenting this re-

the best performance--if there is a
cboice-was that of Thomas Coffin

of the yellowest. most caddish parts
ever written, and he played 1t to per-
lection. He was disagreeahle, morose
and miserable until one hated him.

face and soft voice. she looked and
