CLOSES A SALOON.
Chairman Of License Committee Stops
Operation of Main Street Saloon.

Alderman Kisten pulled up the
blinds in another saloon on Saturday
night when accompanied by the Chief
Of Police he closed the doors OF the
saloon at the corner OF Main and
Pearl street. The license for the place
was issued to Thomas McNally by the
council, but it has been a long time
since McNally has had anything to do
with the management Of the place.
Recently it was sold to Ben Costen
and Alderman Kisten, who is chair
man Of the license committee of the
council, held that the saloon was do
ing business without license. In the
light of the recent opinion Of the city
attorney, the saloon had no right to do
business, and the chairman closed it
up. 1t is probable that should any eff
fort me made to reopen the saloon the
matter will be taken into the courts
and it will remain closed Until after
the new licenses are granted

ARE HIT BY A TRAIN
Tony and Frank Palmer of
Kenosha Have Miraculous
Escape From Death
TAKEN TO RACINE HOSPITAL

Tony and Frank Palmer, aged q
and 20 years respectively, brothers,
employed by Kenosha baker, lie at
st. Luke 3 hospital in Racine suffering
with severe injuries sustained when
the wagon in which they were driving
was struck by a northbound train on
| the Chicago and Northwestern road,
shortly before 4:30 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. The wagon was demolish-
ed and the brothers thrown distance
of many feet, miraculously escaping
being fatally injured. Both sustained
severe injuries about their heads and
bodies, but they were not internally
injured. Relatives in Kenosha were
notified of the accident and they went
! to Racine during the evening and Wis
tied the two men at the hospital.
The two brothers had been out on
a delivery and collection trip and were
on their way back to Kenosha. They
failed to see passenger train ap-
preaching from the south and were
driving over the railroad crossing,
north of the Catholic cemetery, which
/ is situated on the Milwaukee, Racine
and Kenosha interurban line when
they saw the train, but before they
could clear the tracks the locomotive
struck the wagon, demolishing it, and
throwing the two men a considerable
distance.
The passenger train was stopped
and when backed up to the scene of
the accident the train crew and sew
eral passengers went to the assistance
of the two men, both Of whom, it was
feared, had been instantly killed or
fatally injured. The men were found
to be in a semi conscious condition
and were cut and bruised. They were
carried aboard the train and brought
to Racine and removed to st. Luke S
hospital where physicians attended
them.
Tony Palmer lives at 15s Brockett
street and Frank Palmer at SO Newell
street.
Reports from the hospital today de-
clare that the two men are resting
easy and that their wounds are for
the most part bruises. There is CON
siderable complaint on the part of the
friends of the brothers that they were
not brought back to Kenosha after
the injury. The men were injured less
than two miles from Kenosha and vet
the train crew insisted on taking them
to Racine.

MOOSE PICNIC A SUCCESS.
Big Crowd Throngs Anderson Park al
Annual Gathering ca Sunday.

The annual Moose picnic held at An
derson Park on Sunday proved to be one
of the biggest things of the kind ever
held in Kenosha. 1t is estimated that
no less than two thousand people visit
ed the park during the day and took
part in the merriment provided. A large
delegation of the members of the Racine
lodge came to Kenosha early in the
morning and took part in the big pa
rade which marked the opening of the
picnic. The Racine delegation brought
some real athletes with them and these
men swept the boards clean i'll the ath-
letic events held during the afternoon.
The Motor Transportation Company
had its big car out for the picnic and
the car carried hundreds of people to
the park during the day.
The committee in charge of the big
picnic is entitled to high praise for the
success it attained.

The report of the assessors that they
have no hope Of completing the new
valuation Of the property of the city
in the time set by the law is discour-
aging to the finance committee of the
council but most Of the aldermen be-
lieve that ways and means must be
found for completing this work and
that the assessors must be given what
ever assistance is necessary to enable
them to make the new valuation in
time to have the new tax levy based
upon it. Those who are most familiar
with the present financial condition of
the city believe that the financial sal
walton Of the city depends on the new
valuation. The city has run thousands
Iof dollars behind every year for the
past four or five years and in addition
the fixed charges for interest on bond
issues and for partial payments on
the principal have mounted up SO that
it is absolutely essential that the city
get every dollar of taxable property
on the assessment rolls in order to
avoid raise in the rate Of taxation.
Even If the assessment comes up to
the most sanguine expectations of
some of the aldermen it will take close
figuring to scrape through without
raising the rate. So far as it has gone
the new valuation is proving satisfac-
tory and is sustaining the contention
of those aldermen who believe that
there is much property in the city
which is not bearing its fair proper
ton of the taxes. Only as a last re-
sort will the members of the council
permit the use of the old assessment
rolls for the new tax levy for the new
valuation has progressed far enough to
make certain that the old rolls are full
of inequalities and unfair both to the
Icity and the taxpayers.

 Nowadays we do not hear of mothers deliberately exposing their children to the danger of infection from other small suf- ferers from measles, so that they can ''get it over,' nor do they calmly fold their hands when the giggles are In the air and plead that she is just at the silly age

 The silly age" was the natural result of idleness. The old-time girls school did not offer much serious work to It's pupils It only demanded that their speech and manners be gentle. Moreover in well-to- do families, it was once thought no dis grace If girls left school in the middle of thelr teens and loafed away the years until one brought a husband.

The Girl of Yesterday

Her hands are wrinkled and palsied And her brow is decked with gray, And we see no trace in the careworn
 face
 Of the Girl of Yesterday; But she dreams as her sun Is setting Of the joys of a time she knew, And her hopes and fears and her smiles
 and tears
 Pass by in long review. She sits in her lifes long winter And waits for the coming spring, And the tears arise in her dim old eyes As she toys with a wedding ring; And she sees in the open fire bride of the long ago, And the glad strains roll from the organs S
 soul
 To an echo. sweet and low An. you who would be forgetting, Gaze now on this careworn face, That once was fair as the silken hair That lent it a youthful grace. You live in the glad Tomorrow, But your debt is heavy to pay; Let your homage fall to the Queen of

Jirst Japanese in America

We must rub our eyes to realize that it Is only 75 years since the first Japanese came to America, says Joe Mitchell Chap pie in National magazine. He was Man jiro Nakahama. a boy of IA, who was picked up by the captain of New Eng land fishing smack in 1S41.
 According to the report of that time young Nakahama with four other lads had set out from the shores of Japan to do some deep sea fishing. "A violent storm came up and washed them ashore on an island far out in the north Pacific. For several months they struggled against starvation and exposure but finally were rescued by the American captain. Three of the boys were left at Hawaii, but Ma kahama staid aboard and became a favor ite of the captain and crew. They brought him to the states and put him in New England school Later he returned to his native land. and when Commodore Perry arrived in Japan some years later it was Manjro Nakahana, the shipwrecked boy, who acted as interpreter between the American envoys and the Japanese feudal government officers
 The sympathetic and kindly interest of this sailor lad had much to do with the success of Admirar Perry's negotiations. How often these little incidental infiu- ences. so vital at the time. are over looked in the writing of history.

Shop Talk

The average traveller expects to do lt- tie sewing while on her peregrinations. A stitch here and there, perhaps to fasten a fickle button, perhaps to mend an una vodable rent, are the only occasions on which she is like to take her needle in hand. The compact little sewing-rolls to be had at many of the leather counters. containing thimble, spool of white and one of black cotton, and a paper of pins and needles, will suffice for all such emer- gencies It is for the traveller de luxe or the stay-at-home seamstress that the lovely wicker and leather sewing baskets have their charm. They are woven of finest willow of a rich golden hue, and the lining is of leather, brilliant red or a pretty dark green. as is also the lid which has a firm clasp so that the contents of the basket cannot roll out when tossed about in a trunk. The fittings are as dainty as the basket and include, among others, pair of scissors, cro- cheting needle. thimble, bodkin, glove buttoner and stilletto.
 Travelling clocks come in two favorite forms. There are the little gilt French clocks with cheery glass faces. These fit into leather cases that open with tiny hinged doors. The clock when in use may either be removed from it's case or the doors of the case opened, when the vet-lined and will protect the clock from the rudest shocks
 The other clock is really not a clock at all but a watch in a leather case. The r-tter admits of being opened and set up like small easel. and when the time piece is not in use it can be folded up as fat as a purse
