Quarterly Report of Munich
pal Court shows big Profit
for the City of Kenosha
COUNTY GETS BIG REVENUE


Clerk of the Municipal Court James
p. Tully this morning sent to the city
and county treasurers the report of the
municipal court for the quarter end
ing June Soth and the report shows
that the quarter was the busiest in the
history of the municipal court.
A new record is established in the
amount of actual cash turned over to
the city treasury, the amount being
81 ,56S.44. The total receipts of the
court in the trial of cases brought I'M
der the city ordinances was 81, 60695,
and the total disbursements charged
against the city in these cases amount-
ed to but 1881. During the three
months the court disposed of total
of one hundred and eighty-two cases
brought under the city ordinances in
which fines and costs were paid in cash
In addition to this there was large
number of cases started in the court
which ended in dismissal or in the
fines and costs being paid by service
in the county Jail.
These cases cover nearly every
charge known in the city code, but the
largest number of them were charges
of disturbance and intoxication. The
enactment of the city ordinances
against the carrying Of concealed wea-
pons has materially increased the re-
ceipts of the city from cases tried
in the court.
The amount turned over to the
county treasurer was $1,172. This is
not the highest amount turned over to
the county for quarter in the court,
but it is above the average of the
county earnings. There was a total Of
seventy three state cases disposed of
in the court during the quarter, this
being a less number than in the form
er quarter. During the quarter there
was total of seventy-four civil cases
tried in the justice and circuit
branches of the court.

"The cultivation and feeding of al
falfa mark the highest development
of modern agriculture. Alfalfa is one
of natures choicest gifts to man; it
is the preserver. and the conserver of
the homestead. 1t does not fail from
old age. 1t loves the sunshine, con-
verting the sunbeams into gold coin
in the pockets of the thrifty husband

When EnuIand Was Drunken n.

In an article in the London Lancet on
drunkenness and the Physiological
Effect Of Alcohol" Or. Charles Mercer
draws this picture of conditions in
England before 1t became IA sober ma
ton" "In those days the doctor was
often half seas over when he attended
his drunken patient; Judge. counsel and
attorneys pursued their avocations In
court in prevailing atmosphere Of hot
coppers. The prime minister went
drunk to the house Of commons, where
he was attacked by the leader Of the
opposition, also drunk, while order was
kept by speaker who was half seas
over. There was no excise on spirits,
and the coarser kinds of distilled
liquors were ridlculously cheap. AS
you passed along the by streets Of Lon
don, and perhaps of other great cities,
you might read the legend hung out
over the drink cellars, Here you may
get drunk for penny; dead drunk and
slean straw for tuppence.'

Lona Distance Laundry.

Some of the smart set Frenchmen OF
bday send their linen to London to be
washed. Their ancestors used to go
even further af1eld in search Of good
laundry work. 30 far back as the six.
tAenth century Frenchmen had their
washing done In Holland. where the
soft water of the dikes was supposed
TO impart special gloss to linen. This
practice appears to have lasted until
the close Of the eighteenth century, for
Sebastian Mercier, in his "Tableau de
Paris" published shortly before the
French Revolution, protests against the
patronage by the rich Of the Dutch, to
the exclusion of native laundresses.
Still more remarkable is the fact men,
toned in the Memories du Comte de
Vaublanc," that wealthy merchants In
Bordeaux used to send their linen all
the way to San Domingo to be washed.

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS FIELD DAY
PROVES MOST POPULAR Event
Mule Gets Stage Fright

Mule Gets Stage Fright ..-. i " :.
The machine gun contest between
gun squads from each of the platoons
.oE the two infantry and the cavalry
regiments won by the Twenty-fifth in
twenty-seven and two-fifths seconds.
The First Infantry squad We're first
to get away on the one hundred yards
run but unfortunately il halted about
twenty yards short of the firing line
and was Obliged to pack the gun to
tie line 10 lead and fire and then 10
cover the same distance in returning.
The Twenty-fifth Infantry had hitch
ed fortune to gray mule reputed
to be faster than the little bay mule
that ran such pretty race last Feb
ruary in Honolulu during the carnival
bat he had q bad attack of stage
fright and was so bashful on the re-
turn to the start that he delayed the
game so long that the First Infantry
nearly recovered their handicap and
the gray mule reluctantly won by a
bare three-f ourths of second. The
Cavalry experienced considerable I'M
Ilccked-for trouble in closing the gun
boot and trailed thirty-six seconds.
The mounted fencing between five
mounted men Of the Cavalry and
three of the Artillery in three heats
was one of the prettiest events of the
day and the fencing was conducted
with far more skill than is usually
found among soldier contestants. The
/ heats finally brought together for the
finals, best three out of five points,
Corporal Bloom, F. Battery, First Ar
tillery, and First Sergeant Latfmer,
Troop |, Fourth Cavalry, and the bout
was won blythe latter.
The shot put brought out about all
the huskies OF the garrison, showing
varying degrees of skill After
elimination the contest stood between
Sergeant Kidd. Company ], First In
fantry, Battalion Sergeant Major
Broadus, Twenty-fifth Infantry, and
Sergeant Morgan, Company F..
Twenty-fifth Infantry. They finished
in this order-Kidd making forty feet
and six and one-half inches, Sergeant
Major Broadus putting thirty-eight
feet nine and one-half inches, while
Sergeant Morgan contented himself
with thirty-seyen feet.
Among the entries for the rescue
race, mounted event, was a team
from the regimental detachment of
the First Infantry and. if the Twenty
fifth had mounts they would have
entered team. This marks an in
vasion of events heretofore considered
as the sole possession of mounted or
ganizations. The Infantry team was
far from the money today. The win
ming Cavalry team consisted of Ser
geant Ruffy and Private Wyatt, both
of Troop B, Fourth Cavalry, who won
in thirty-one and fouEfifths seconds.

He reasoned that there must be some
kind-hearted superior who would
come to his rescue. Upon his repre-
sentation that he would make a hnr-
ried trip to the Coast and then return,
he finally secured the consent of the
officer in charge at Honolulu.
= Ii was about this time that the
Thomas was dispatched on special
trip TO Hawaii, and so arrangements
were completed for O'Hara's passage.
Upon the troopship's arrival work of
unloading was rushed so that the
steamer might depart two days later.
"O'Hara boarded the transport a
few minutes before its departure, and
was at the rail to greet his fiance at
the army docks when the big white
steamer swung alongside at 8 o'clock.
"A happy reunion followed when
Miss Cronan and party of friends
surrounded the officer on the wharf.
"The marriage will take place at
the Holy Cross Church and the couple
will make short honeymoon trip to
Southern California.

Main Event OF Day
The main event of the day was the
flag relay race, an event entirely new
in it's present form or even under the
conditions under which the Twenty
fifth have run it for several years
past The contestants were the sew
eral battalions of the garrison, each
organization entering as many men as
il chose and electing also the distance
each should run. An immense amount
of preparation was entailed by the de-
cision of the managing officials de-
Gliding that the number of participants
from each battalion should be decided
before the race and the distance to be
covered by each and the position of
each marked in lime on the track. 1t
is understood that as run by the
Twenty-fifth Infantry formerly there
were no conditions determining where
the flag should be passed or how. To-
days race required that the flag be
passed within the marked quadrangle
of five yards bys ten yards. Tho

determined after careful study. The
race gets its name not only from the
marking flag which is carried through
out the race, changing hands as the
race progresses, as the buck is passed
in any relay race over smaller dis
tances, aud also because each contest
ant carries flag of the color OF his
battalion to guide the runner coming
toward him. The scene when 500 or
more contestants had taken their
places was certainly pretty The cav
airy carried small yellow flags. the
First Infantry flags of white. the
Twenty-fifth Infantry blue and the
Artillery battalion red. The number
of each battalion or squadron was
stamped on the flag. The race was
won in 10 minutes As 2-5 seconds. The
Twenty officers say that this bat
talon drew an unusually large num-
Der of very speedy recruits in the
bunch that came the first of the
month and that the team was to a
great extent a recruit team. What
ever its composition it was undoubt-
eddy speedy.
The third battalion of this regiment
crossed the finish second In II min
utes 10 seconds, but was disqualified
when it was found that one of the
runners had run twice in the race !.
Scott, the well-known ball-player,
made this blunder, but it is said in
i his defense that running twice Or
more times has been allowed in prior
flag relay races of his regiment. TIE
