Defeat Members of Racine
Lodge in Base Ball Game
atClam Bake Wednesday
BAKE SETS new HIGH RECORD

The Elks clam bake is over and
this morning Central Park is streWn
with clam shells and the remnants OF
the biggest "feed' ever set up in
Kenosha county. 1t was record
breaking clam bake from every stand.
point More Elks turned out than at
any previous clam bake, the service
was better and be it said to the credit
of Col. Vidvard the bake was the best
ever put on for the Racine and Ke-
nosha El6s. More Elks from other
cities were present than ever before
the lodges at Racine, Kenosha Mil
waukee, Beloit, Chicago, Waukegan,
Madison and GAINESVILLE being repre-
scented.
Many men not in the order were
present at the bake and in all it was
one of the largest gatherings of men
ever held in Kenosha county. An army
of walters were on hand to take care
of the big crowd and when the bake
was opened promptly at half past four
O'Clock every plate was filed and the
crowd was well taken care of.
1t was a great reunion for the Elks
of Racine and Kenosha lodges and a
large majority of the membership of
the two lodges were present.
One of the big features of the after
noon was the ball game between the
Elks of the two cities and this was won
by the Kenosha. team. The scorer fed
from the field during the game and it
was impossible to get a detailed score,
but it is declared that the Kenosha
boys had sixteen runs to two for the
band from Camp Warm Heart Mat
thews and Carkner were in the points
for Kenosha and Herzog and old Pete
Hermann were working in the points
for Racine. Mayor Horlick of Racine
and Charles Better of Chicago acted
as umpires for the game.
There were lot of races and other
Athletic events pulled off during the
afternoon but the greatest race was
for the tables when the bake was open
ed and this was declared a dead heat.
Before the tables had been cleared
away arrangements for the bake for
next year were discussed and the Ke-
nosha lodge will be in charge at that
time.
The members of the joint committee
in charge of the bake are entitled to
high praise for the success of the big
gathering.

Annual Report of Unredeem-
ed Tax Titles Shows Con-
ditions in Co. are Good
20 PIECES TO Be TURNED OVER

The prosperity of the people of Keno
sha County is mirrored in the notice of
the sale of unredeemed tax title to lands
within the county which was published
by County Clerk Jones today and which
shows that but twenty pieces of prop
erty in the county are to be sold for
taxes when the final deeds are handed
out in May Of next year. This list
is noticeably shorter than in other years
of these taxes will be paid before the
date of the sale. The titles to these
pieces of property were originally sold
at the tax sale held in 1908 and at that
time more than seven times the same
amount of tax titles were given but
all of the others have been redeemed.
There are but seven pieces of property
in the city of Kenosha which are to
be handed over by tax deed and in
only one case is an assessment of more
than $50 charged against property.
This one case is the orphan asylum
property which is to be bought up by
the city. The total taxes against it
amount to $916.49 and the city will
undoubtedly get title to it at the sale
of the tax titles. None of the heirs
Of the former owner Of this property
has made any objection to the sale and
1T is certain that any attempt to pre-
vent it's sale to the city would only
result In long litigation and not end
in giving the litigants any thing for
their trouble. The city is planning to
convert the property into a great play
ground for the children of the city and
payment of the taxes against it has
opened very easy way for it's being
secured to the people of the city as
a breathing space. In the town of
Pleasant Prairie there are nine pieces
of unredeemed property but the largest
amount charged against any of this
property is $2035 and most of the pieces
are lots out in the suburbs of the city
on which the owners had made but a
small payment and on which there is
a contest as to ownership.
The Town of Randall has one piece
of unredeemed property with a total
tax of $3.50; the Town of Salem one
to the amount 1919; The Town of
Somers three with taxes to the amount
Of SLIGO. All of the other towns in
the county have clean sheet SO far
as the collection of the taxes for 1908
is concerned.
In the past five years there has been
a noticeable reduction of the amount
of property sold for unpaid taxes and
the number of pieces this year sets
low record.

FREE WILL OFFERING OF CAMP
Tent VIII Be Opened at Once and
Maintained For the Care of Patients
Who May Be Sent From Kenosha To
Colorado.

Members of Pike Woods Camp of Mod
ern Woodmen of America who may be
taken with consumption will have place
to go to for treatment as Consul Judge
Clifford E. Randall for the local camp
on Wednesday sent check for $3.50 to
the head officials of the order to pay
for the erection of a tent for the
Klenosha Camp at the Tuberculosis
Sanitarium of the Woodmen at Colora
do Springs. The move to raise the
money needed for the opening of the
tent was started some time ago and the
money has been raised entirely by free
will offerings from the members of the
camp. No big subscriptions have been
made to the fund but nearly every
one of the 600 Woodmen in Kenosha
has made some contribution to the
fund. The Woodmen Sanitarium is one
of the largest now in use for the care
of consumptives and the Kenosha Wood
men will be among the first in Wiseon-
sin to provide tent for their members
at the institution Wisconsin has been
behind the other states in this move
ment in the great order but since the
the recent visit of Head Consul Talbot
who is an ardent supporter of the
Sanitarirh plan the work has been
going forward rapidly in the state and
it is expected that before the end of
the year many Of the camps will fol
low the lead of the Kenosha camp. At
the present time the Kenosha camp tent
will be Vacant as none of the members
of the order has asked to be sent to
the institution but when the time comes
when one of the members of the Keno
sha camp desires treatment he will be
assured a place which will be his own
home. The statistics of the Sanitarium
show hat large number of the pa
themes VIII enter the institution re-
turn to their homes cured and this fact
refutes in large measure the claim
that is being made by some physicians
that the Colorado climate is not bene-
fetal to victims of the lung malady.
Other fraternal organizations are esta.b-
fishing sanitariums similar to that main
tanned by the Woodmen. The Kenosha
Lodge of the Knights of Phythias re-
Gently raised money for the opening of
cottage at the National institution
owned and maintained by that organ
ization and similar funds are now being
raised by other organizations in the
city. e>re4. xgsss>

The new rotation law which gives
every candidate the privilege of head
ing the list of candidates for the Office
he aspires to as often as any one else no
matter what letter his name begins with
is to have it's first trial at this election
and after the results are tabulated it
will be possible to judge what truth
there is in the oft repeated claim Of the
politicians that there is decided adj
vantage in heading list of candidates.
If this claim proves up in any way the
next thing will be a move for the rota-
ton of the party tickets on the prim-
airy ballot. The passage of this law
does not indicate that the legislature
had a very high opinion of the intelli-
gence of the voters.

The police did one good job in run
ming fraud who was imposing on the
good nature and charity of the people
of the city with pitiful tale of mis-
fortune, out of the city and they can
continue the good work by investigating
the records of every beggar who soil
cts aims on the streets of the city
Did you ever notice that there are two
or three unfortunates who make "a
point to drop into the city every time
there is "pay day. in the factories?
1t might be well for the police to look
up their records. All of the beggars
look pitiful enough to entitle them to
the "little assistance" they ask for,
but it is doubtful if they have any
claims on the people of Kenosha and
it may be found that some other city is
also providing for them.

KRAUT TO BE A LUXURY.
Shortage in Cabbage Crop Causes sauer-
kraut Makers to Predict High Price.


There is to be a shortage of saner-
kraut this year because of the long
dry zas& and that dish will be lux
ury this season. Owners of kraut fac
tories state that the cabbage crop this
year is far below the average and that
cabbage will bring better prices than
have been paid in years because of the
shortage and as result raise in the
price of sauerkraut is now predicted.
The territories about Kenosha and
Fremont, Ohio, have for years been
known as the greatest cabbage grow
ing places in the country and annual
ly thousands of tons Of cabbage have
been raised and sold to commission
houses and kraut factories. Usually
when the crop is about to be harvest
ed the growers are offered from So
to Sc ton, according to the quality
of the cabbage and these prices ad-
vance until along in the winter or
early spring as high as $50 a ton is
paid and growers who have stored
cabbage have made fortunes
The kraut factories in Ohio have al
ready started the annual slicing and
the owners find that the supply will
not meet the demand. Agents for
commission houses have purchased
much Of the crop and as it is being
harvested it is being shipped away.
In this district not as many acres
were devoted to cabbage raising this
year as in former years and the crop
will not average twelve tons to the
acre and the quality is only fair. There
are two kraut factories in this vi
cinity. The owners of these fac
tories have endeavored to contract
for nearly all Of the best cabbage but
they lind that agents for commission
houses have been very active.

Every effort will be made to stir
up some excitement over the coming
primary election this week by the lead
ers of all parties >and it is probable
that before the week is over there will
be little reason to fear that all Of the
parties will not poll votes enough to
get the names of their candidates on
the party tickets for the regular cleo
ton, at least on the heads of the tickets.
1t is just here that the danger lies. All
of the attention may be given to nomin-
ations over which there is contest and
every voter who goes to the polls at the
primary election should remember to
vote on the whole ticket all the way
down.

WAS SERIOUSLY BURNED.
Little George Harrington Scalded with
Hot Lard at His Home Wednesday.

George Harrington Jr., the little son
of City Clerk Harrington met with very
serious injuries at the Harrington home
on Milwaukee avenue Wednesday after
noon when he was scalded with hot lard.
The little boy was with his mother in
the kitchen of the home and Mrs. Har-
rington had attempted to carry jar
filled with hot lard from the table to
one of the pantries of the house. The
jar was broken by the heat of the lard
and the contents fell over the little
boy. He was terribly burned about
the neck and arms. DR.. George E..
Thompson was called to attend him and
today it is declared that while his in
juries are very painful there is no dan
ger of them resulting fatally.

The city has received assurances from
the war department that the "permit -
granted the company operating the
sand sucker amounts to just what the
city attorney has always maintained
it is worth in the fight between the
city and the sand men and that is
nothing at all but the statement of
the assistant secretary of the war
department Will go far towards reas-
surfing some of the city officials who
were disposed to attach considerable
Importance to the permit and encourag-
ing them to continue to fight to pro
tect the shore line of the lake at this
point. The department points out that
the so-called permits simply show that
the proposed dredging to be done by
the sand suckers is unobjectionable
so far as the government is concerned
in that it will not interfere with the
interests of navigation, but that the
department does not in any way as
sumo any further responsibility and
goes on to say that "the right of the
Milwaukee Sand and Gravel company
to dredge sand from the shores and
bed of Lake Michigan, under the
aforesaid war department. permits, is
subject therefore to control and regu-
lation by the state and local authori.
ties" In other words these permits
do not in any way interfere with the
power of the city to protect its water
line in any way and the city is free
to proceed just as if the permits had
never been granted.
