SIX TEAMS TO START IN RACE
Officials for New League Are Elected
and Work of Putting the Park in
Shape Will be Started in the
Near Future,

Final arrangements for the organiza
ton of the Kenosha City League Of
base ball clubs was made at meet
ing held on Friday evening and on the
first of May six teams in the city will
start on a schedule which will furnish
amusement for the people during the
entire base ball season. The new
league has closed a lease of Breen
Park for the entire season and if Ke-
nosha has a team in the Lake Shore
League it will be travelling team and
Kenosha will see little or nothing of
it during the season. However, the
new city league promises to furnish all
the base ball that the fans in Keno
sha demand and two games will be
played on each Sunday during the sea-
son. The officers of the new league
elected at the meeting on Friday even
are:
President-Henry Oberst.
Secretary-Walter johnson.
Treasurer-Walter Ward.
Board Of Directors-Henry Oberst,
Frank Berry, Gus Freitag, and John
Ward.
A schedule committee has been ap-
pointed and within a few days this
committee will get to work and make
up schedule for the full season. Dur
ing the opening part of the season
games will be played both Sunday
mornings and Sunday afternoons but
later in the year when the factories
close on Saturday afternoons the Sun
day morning games will be played on
Saturday afternoon.
1t is thought that the city league
will prove very popular institution
IN Kenosha and that the games will
draw almost as much patronage as the
regular Kenosha team under Manager
Breen drew last season. The lease of
the Breen Park for the season prac-
tically gives the new league the entire
control of the base ball business in
Kenosha.
There will be six teams in the new
league and these teams are made up of
the strongest semi professional players
in the city. The list of clubs with
the managers Includes:
Ramblers-Henry Oberst.
Klinkert Kolts-Walter Ward.
West Side Athletics-Frank Berry.
Simmons Mfg. Co-John Ward.
United Order Foresters-W johnson.
Kenosha Crib Co.-Gus Freitag.
The rules for the signing of men
for the various teams will be the same
as those used in other semi professional
leagues and it is certain that the
teams will all have strong line-ups.
The managers of the different teams
have already started signing men and
within a short time the managers Of
the league will arrange for the pur-
chase of suitable trophies to be award
ed to the winners in the league series.
The managers of the new league are
very enthusiastic over the prospects
for the season and it is declared that
they will be able to give the fans
as good an article of ball as has been
seen under the old Lake Shore League
regime

State Superintendent G. P. Cary has
passed on the "readin, ritin and rith-
ematic" as taught in the Kenosha
schools and has placed his personal O.
K. on the work. This is all the more
valuable when it is known that the
superintendent is strong on the teach
ing of these things which he has term
ed the fundamentals. No higher
tribute could be paid the work Of the
Kenosha teachers.

Real Estate Truths
Real Estate Is Climbing
In Kenosha

There are very few good high-class
pieces of property for sale here. If you
don't believe it try and buy piece that
suits you.
There are about 20 persons in Kenosha
who are willing to buy LOT that, if it
suits them, will pay from $4,000 to
$4,000 or from Sc, 500 to $4,000 for a
house and lot, but very few are to be
had.
Most people underestimate the size of
vacant lot. A lot 5Oxl5O feet when
vacant looks to be about 4Ox1OO feet.
but put a house on the same lot
and it looks to be about 90 100 feet.
Compare vacant lot with lot of the
same size which has house on it and
see how much larger it looks.
For example, take the lot facing the
park at Prairie Avenue, it is OVER
SO $50 feet as it stands, but it
looks to be about 40 feet wide, put a
house on it and it will look like big
lot, it is for sale at $4,000 per front
foot or $4,000.

HOW TO USE CHEAP MEAT
Cooks Urge the Utilizing
Of the Gravy as the Most Important
Part of the Meat-Book Furnished
Free.

The secretary of agriculture's cook
book is out. In it Uncle jim Wilson,
through his experts, tells the country
how to make poor cuts of meat taste
as good as the best and also how to
get Just about as much nourishment
from them.
The experts who prepared the cook
book are G. =. Langworthy, Phi. D.,
and Carhne i. Hunt, A. d. They have
found that the cheaper cuts of beef,
such as the brisket, chuck rib, flank,
.tnd neck, are just about as rich in the
substances which build and repair i'm
Sortant tissues of the body as porter
house and sirloin steaks.
For instance in chuck rib there is
10 per cent Of protein, as compared
with only 21.9 in a porterhouSe steak.
Also in regard to the flavor of meats
the department Is cook book says there
is a general pisapprehension. Most
persons believe expensive meats are
The best favored, while in reality the
cuts on side of beef often are richer
in the oxtractives which produce the
flavor than the higher priced cuts.
The secretary's experts find that
there is a good deal of unnecessary
waste in the average home in treating
the fats that come on the high priced
suits of meat. The lOins and ribs OF
beef, for INSTANCE, contain from 20 to
20 per cent of fat. Instead of being
thrown out into the garbage can this,
according to Secretary Wilson IS cook
book, ought to be utilized.
elf butter is the fat used in making
crusts for meat pies and in preparing
the cheaper cuts,'' says the official
cook book, "there is little economy
involved The fats from other meat,
therefore, should be saved, as they may
be used in place Of butter in such cases
as well as in preparing many other
foods. The fat from sausage or from
the scoup kettle or pot roast, which is
sayory because it has been cooked

The disbarment proceedings
against Atty. e. p. Johnson are still
in progress. The case, which start
ed Monday afternoon, Feb. 21, has
now occupied about eight days, and
has proven an interesting one, the
court room being practically filled
at every session. The ten accnsa-
lions filed against Johnson by the
state were gone over in a most thor
ough maner by the prosecution, and
q great many witnesses were exam
ined, some testifying to very sensa-
tiOnal matters. Accusation No. 5,
wherein Johnson is accused of i'm
moral assault upon the person of
Olivia Grobel, drew out sensational
testimony on the part of Miss Grobel,
she testifying to the accusation
charged. Accusations Nos. 5, 6, Z,
and 8 concern matters in regard to
the Grobel and Ole Amurrud affair.
The other six accusations are sep
arate matters. Much testimony was
brought out in each charge. Early
Monday morning the state closed
their testimony, the following wit
nesses having been examined, in or

BUYS BIG NOTION STORE.
Fremont S. Gibson Closed Deal Mon
day Whereby He Becomes Own
er of the Big Notion Store
Stock.

On the recent visit here of Messrs
B. III. Phinney and Fred e. Hodgson,
of Fergus Falls, owners of the Big
Notion Store stock, negotiations for
the sale of the stock were opened with
Mr.. Fremont S. Gibson, manager of
the store. In an interview with Mr..
Gibson, he informs us that he was
offered such fiattering proposition
for the purchase of the stock, that
he accepted the gentlemen's terms
and on Monday became the owner of
the Big Notion Store stock, which,
of course, will be good news to Mr.
Gibson's many DEBORAH friends.
Mr.. Gibson has been the manager
of the Big Notion Store for the past
year, and informs us that he feels
there is room in DEBORAH for another
first class dry goods store, and now
that he has become owner of the
Big Notion Store stock he tells us
that he will Immediately close out
his entire stock Of graniteware
glassware, silverware, athletic goods,
etc., in fact, everything along that
line, as well as all fancy articles,
etc, and in their place will install
complete, up-to-date dry goods
stock, ladies' furnishings and ready
to wear garments, and will conduct
only an exclusive dry goods store.
Mr.. Gibson also stated that he is
preparing for big sale, commencing
Saturday, March IL, and will close
the store several days next week to
prepare for it, and will make such
sweeping reductions on the above
mentioned goods that he will be able
TO dispose of them in a very short
time, and hopes by May 1st to have
his new dry goods stock installed
He is negotiating for his present
building and also has another build
ing or two in view, farther east on
Water street
Since Mr.. Gibson's residence here
he has made many friends; he has
proven himself a practical business
man, a gentleman who has the inter-
ests of the city at heart, and we well
come him into Decorah's business
circles and wish the new store sue
cess.

THEY WE'RE EXCITED.
An Article i'm Portland, Oregon Paper
Creates Much Excitement Among
Miss Mae Callahan's De-
corah Friends.

The receipt of a marked copy Of
the Portland Oregon, Daily Tele-
gram, received by one of our citi-
zens in DEBORAH Monday afternoon,
containing a marked copy of dis
patch from Los Angeles, CAL, con-
corning the death of one Mae Gala
han, a telegraph operator, caused no
end of excitement and worry to the
large number of DEBORAH friends of
Miss Mae Callahan of Nashville,
Tenn, formerly manager of the
Western Union telegraph Office in
DEBORAH. The impression created by
the dispatch in the minds of many
of her friends here was that it might
possibly be her, but all were loath
to believe it. So a telegram was
dispatched to her brother-in-law, J.
w. Anderson at Nashville, Tenn,
with whom she is living, asking
about the report The following
pleasing answer was received from
him:
Nashville, Tenn, March 1, 10.
"RepOrt untrue; Mae well and
happy.

We publish this to correct any
wrong impression that might have
gone out owing to the peculiar CO.
incidence of names and occupation.

We're certainly jubilant when the
news from her was received, and it
was known that the dispatch didn't
concern her. Following is the dis
patch, which shows how peculiar CO.

come up now and then:

ASKS FOR FRANCHISE.
MIR. j. j. Donelan, Gas Company
Representative, Appears Before
City Council Tonight i'm Quest
of Franchise.

The gas company project men,
toned in these columns some time
ago, is now almost a certainty. Yes
terday Mr.. j. j. Donelan, superin-
tendent and manager of the gas
plant at Waverly arrived in the city,
and this evening will appear before
the city council and ask for a fran
chise to establish a gas plant in De-
corah. We feel that the city coun-
Gil will favorably consider an or
dinance calling for a special election
on the proposition, so that our peo-
pie may have the privilege of voting
yes" or mo" as to whether we will
have a gas plant for DEBORAH OF not.
The gas company pays all of the
expenses of the special election, so
a vote on the proposition will not
cost the city cent. After the or
dinance calling for the election has
been drawn up it will require four
weeks publication, therefore the
election, if granted, will not take
place until about the first week in
April.
The principal object for establish
ing the plant in DEBORAH is to furnish
gas for heating and cooking pur-
poses, and, of course, gas for light
ing purposes will be furnished if de-
sired
The establishment of this plant in
DEBORAH will mean an investment
here of between $4,000 and S45,-
900, and no bonus of any kind is
asked from the city, and no tax of
any kind whatever will fall on the
city or property owners. The work
of constructing the plant will mean
employment to a great many men
and be the means of bringing a num-
Der of new families here to live.
To cover the city thoroughly will re-
cure perhaps eight miles of mains.

John O'NeiI Refires.

Monday John O'Nell rented his
blacksmith shop 10 mis- two able as
sistants, Messrs. Severt Olson and
Joseph Borlalg. and retired from
the business. Mr.. O'Neil informs us
that he has been in the blacksmith
business in DEBORAH for the past 2I
years and thought after all those
years of labor he was entitled to
q little rest. And we guess he is.
Mr.. ONeil is an expert blacksmith.
has always attended strictly to bust
ness, and has been very successful,
acquiring competency at an age
that will permit him to enjoy life
at its best. H will be pleasing news
to know that Mr.. O'Neil and his es-
Unable family will not leave De-
corah.
Messrs. Olson and Borlaug are two
very competent blacksmiths, and. of
course, will enjoy nice trade.
