MINSTREL SHOW A SUCCESS.
knights of St George Entertain Large
Crowd at Germania Hall Friday.

The members of the knights of st.
George retained their reputation as
musical entertainers on Friday night
when the annual minstrel show was
given at Germania Hall and an audience
which filed the big hall was entertain
ed with songs and jokes for more than
two hours. The performance was Civ
en- under the direction of Prof. Ray
mond Flasch, the instrumental music
being furnished by the Krah and
Schmitt 5 orchestra. The solos were all
heartily encored and the jokes which
had many happy local hit were feat
ures with the big crowd. M. ]. Don
ahue was interloeutor and he had as
his assistants Frank E. Lee, William
3Elsen, 7. Scholey, John Fisher, Edward
Zievers, Arthur Hotf The Knights
have offered their service for a bene-
fit performance with the understanding
that the receipts will go to the flood
fund.

HOLD ANNUAL BALL
knights of Columbus Enter
tain Great Crowd at Ger
mania Hall Wednesday.
DECORATIONS SET RECORD

The knights of Columbus ball, the
big post-lenten social event in Keno
sha, was given at Germania Hall on
Wednesday evening and it proved 70
be one of the greatest social functions
Of the year in Kenosha. The annual
dance of the Knights is always feat
ure in Kenosha and the party on We'd
nesday night outstripped all FORMER
efforts of the council. Germania hall
never looked prettier. The decorations
were most elaborate, color scheme
of white and yellow being carried out.
Great festoons were hung from the
walls and ceilings while hundreds of
electric lights in fancy colored shades
added to the beauty of the decera-
tions. Pennants of the order were
very much in evidence in the decora-
tions. At the west end Of the big hall
charming rest room was arranged,
this being one of the prettiest feat
ures of the decorations. In the dining
room the decorations were in orange
and white and the tables were charm
ingly arranged with ferns and flowers.
From point of attendance the dance
was the most successful ever given by
any Of the fraternal organizations in
the city. More than five hundred pe0-
pie were in attendance, large delega-
tions coming from Racine, Milwaukee,
Waukegan and other cities. The mu-
sic was furnished by Mccartney and
Sullivan and it proved to be so pleasing
to the merry company of dancers that
nearly every dance was encored. Sup
per was served at eleven clock and
after this was over dancing continued
until early morning. The committee
in charge of the social function are
entitled to great praise for the success
of the party. George B. McCarron
was chairman Of the committee and
William Meyer was his chief aid

Kenosha horsemen who have been
deprived of their favorite sport by
the subdivision of the old Balm track
are watching with great deal of in
terest the development of plans for
opening the Ideal track near the state
line. Properly conducted racing meets
at this track will furnish good sport
for the local horsemen and entertain
ment for the crowds that always flock
to any kind of a race and there can
be no objection to the opening of the
park for legitimate purposes. That
means of course that there is to be no
gambling and that the management
has no connection with the old gang
that ran the park "wide OPEN in tia
old days, whose operations strongly
resembling a confidence game, killed
racing in this state and led to the
passage of an anti racing bill by the
legislature. 1t is declared that the
present management of the park has
no object in view but to furnish clean
sport to the lovers Of racing and that
it has absolutely no connection with
the Chicago gambling fraternity. Sc
long as the park is conducted on this
basis there can be no interference by
the authorities and there is no desire
on the part of any of the officials tc
interfere in any way with the re
opening of the park. The new manag
leFs Of the park will be given every OPP
portunity to demonstrate. that a legiti
mate amusement enterprise of the kline
can DO successfully conducted an(
made to pay dividends without any
gambling attachment.

OPEN ENGINE HOUSE BIDS.
New Bids for Elizabeth Street Station
Show Increase in Building Cost

The Fire Department committee of
the Comm IN Council met at the Office
of the Chief of the Department on Fri
day evening and opened bids for the
construction of the new engine house
on Elizabeth street The bids are about
5000 higher than those received at a
former opening, all of which were re-
iected by the council. Under the new
bids Ludwig Klemm with a bid of
$5988 is low and Kaelber and Kraft
are low for plumbing and heating with
a bid of $1039. The bid of Ernst An
derson at the former opening was $3.50
and he informed the committee that his
original bid would still hold good.
There were but four bids received on
Friday night and a number of the con-
tractors seem to be fighting shy of the
contract. One of the contractors who
failed to bid declared that he did so
on account of the fact that they felt
that it was an unfair competition

SEEK PERMISSION TO BORROW
Question Will be Put up to Voters on
Tuesday and Members of Poard May
be Forced to Raise the Money on
Their Individual Notes.

The town of Pleasant Prairie is in
bad. With the highway commissioner
ready to start the work Of building
permanent roads on South Park avenue
and Ashland avenue the discovery is
made that the town board has failed
to collect highway taxes to the amount
of $4,000 reported by the town to the
county and on which the county and
state made provision for the improve
ment of the roads in the town. The
members of the town board insist that
that the tax was regularly levied, but
it failed to get on the tax roll aud not
q cent Of the tax was collected. On
this account the officials Of the town
are decidedly busy and at the town
election ON Tuesday the electors will
vote on the question of giving the
town board permission to make loan
of $4,000 to make good the deficiency.
The money must be raised as part
of the levy to be made by the town
next fall.
Officials in the town can make no
explanation of the oversight and it is
declared that it may be possible for
the officials themselves to 60 down in
to their pockets and advance the money
pending formal levy of the taxes
against the property of the town. All
of the members of the town board who
had part in the levy Of the highway
tax were re-nominated for office at the
caucuses held on Friday afternoon and
if they are reelected it will probably
be an easy matter to arrange to Sc
cure the fund. If the people of the
town fail to vote fayorably On the
proposed loan of $4,000 the town
board might be able to keep the road
work going by securing this amount
out of the money collected for saloon
licenses.
The total amount to be collected will
be slightly in excess of the shortage in
the highway fund. Under any condi-
ton the town must make the levy for
this tax IN the fall. Had the members
of the county board known that no pro-
vision had been made for the collec-
ton of the tax no money would have
been levied by the county or the state
for the road work in the town.
Members of the town board feel GER
tain that the matter can be arranged
without loss to the people of the town
and that the tax payers will not be
forced to pay interest charges on the
road fund which should have been
collected with the taxes in February.
1t is certain that the present trou-
bles Of the town will have good eff
feet and that the officials of other
towns in the county will be decidedly
careful in the future in dealing with
the levy of taxes for road purposes.

JOINS IN CRUSADE
Judge Belden Gives Order
From Bench in Regard to
Handling Gun TOters.
ASKS EXTRAORDINARY EFFORTS

Judge E. B. Belden of the circuit
court joined the war again ESgun to-
tiers" in Kenosha today when he issued
ia formal order from the bench calling
upon the sheriff and the police officers
of Kenosha county to join in a move
ment to suppress. the carrying of con-
cealed weapons in the city and coun-
ty. He sent to the sheriff and chief of
police written statement of his views
on the subject and of the law relating
to the carrying of weapons. 1t is ex-
pected that the order of the court will
go long way toward rounding up the
men in Kenosha who are carrying
guns. The gun men are decidedly nu-
merous in Kenosha and although the
officials have been diligent in searching
for revolvers only small portion of
the fgun toters'' have been arrested.
The order of the court follows:
To the Sheriff, Constables and other
public police officers of Kenosha
County, Wisconsin:
The carrying of dangerous weapons
is directly responsible for many serious
assaults, including several murders
within Kenosha county, and all attend
ING serious consequences and public ex-
pense.
Section 1897 of the Statutes of Wis
consin, provides:
Any person who shall go armed
with any concealed, dangerous weapon
shall be punished by Imprisonment in
the county jail not more than six
months or pay fine not exceeding
800, providing, the foregoing shall not
apply to any policeman or officer au-
thorized to serve process. Any minors
or persons in the state of intoxication
who shall go armed with any pistol
or revolver, or any dealer or other per-
sons who shall sell, loan or give any
pistol or revolver to any minor shall be
punished by Imprisonment in the county
jail not more than six months or pay
fine not exceeding 800. Tt shall be
the duty of all sheriffs, constables and
other public police officers to take from
any minor any pistol or revolver found
in his possession, and for neglect there
of any such officer shall be punished as
hereinbefore provided
This law applies to dirks, daggers,
pistols, revolvers and every other form
Of dangerous weapons. 1t appears from
evidence given in court that many per-
sons in this community carry concealed
and dangerous weapons.
You are instructed to exercise ex-
traordinary diligence in discovering
and stamping out the custom prevalent
in portions of this community of car
rying concealed and dangerous weapons;
to give public warning of the law and
to promptly and vigorously prosecute
all persons offending the law in this
regard

Circuit Judge.

CLEAN Up CALENDAR
Twelve Cases Set for Trial
at Circuit Court Settle
in Past Two Days.
SCHOLEY ACCEPTS $4,000

The calendar for the March term of
the circuit court looked like an Indiana
city after the floods hit it this morn
ing and when Judge Belden had com
pleted the calling of the day. calendar
| less than a dozen cases remained for
trial During the term the court has
put the thumb screws down on delays
for cases and has established rule
that eases placed on the day calendar
must be called for trial at the time
set. AS result Of the vigorous en-
forcement of this order settlements
out of court were announced in twelve
cases on Thursday afternoon and this
morning and on account of lack of
work for the court adjournment until
Monday morning was taken at the ad-
| journment Of the morning session
today.
! The most important case to be set
| tied was that of Catherine Cerminaria
against the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway Company The plaintiff had
demanded $4,000 as damages for the
killing of her husband who met death
at. the Rowland avenue crossing last
fall. She accepted $4,000 in full set
| tlement of her claim.
The wounded feelings of former
Mayor NJ. j. Scholey, who claimed that
he was treated, at least with discount
esy, by the officials of train on the
Northwestern, have been healed with a
balm to the extent Of $3.50. The case
brought by the former mayor demand
ed damages to the amount of $1,000
and the case had been on the calendar
for more. than two years. At one time
the company had offered $500 in set
Element of the suit.
Other cases in which settlement out
of court was reported this morning in
Guided Anna M. Lohous VS.. Wells Cur
tbs; Allen Dixon VS.. John T. McNa-
| mara, IL. ~. oUSG1Iu6 vs.. h1GbI0 h.
Johnson; Eldora Horton VS.. Samuel G.
Fredson; Clarence Crow VS.. d. Gaas-
ira; Gimbel Brothers VS.. Fred Dons-
ing; Peter B. johnson VS.. John A.
Rose, and G. K. Bellows and Henry
Kunze vs.. August Rath. Several of
the cases had decorated the calendar
for several terms of the court.
THE day calendar said Judge
Belden, seems to have solved the
question Of disposing of Eases in Ke-
nosha county and this rule will be fol
lowed in the future. 1t is not the in
tention to make trouble for any one,
but we believe that attorneys having
cases in court should have them ready
for hearing at the time set by the
court. 1t is expensive to maintain a
court and jury and useless delays will
not be countenanced. ~
The next case set for trial IS that
of Frank johnson VS.. the Simmons
Manufacturing Company and it will 60
to trial before jury on Monday
morning.
