At 5 o'clock the rain ceased. The gale was by now sbrawhng somewhere off the banks.
 The river was no longer crested. Boats were fitting to and fro. and the suIlen big freighters were drawing out from the breakwatdr in the basin back of the hotel. A gorgeous sunset fin tshed the day, warm and promising good weather
 The hotel was almost deserted.
 1t was not summer resort. Those who sought it's charms were fishermen. They sent their wives elsewhere Cranford sat down to dinfier with four other men, two of whom he knew to be retired business men who fished these waters from July to october and then hied away to Miami for tarpon CT to the Pacific for yelIoyi4H3js.
 "Reminiscences passed bacI and forth. Cranford learned that the season had been exceptionally good, but that out at South bar and Charity shoals the sport had been the worst in years. For some reason or other the bass had turned those places over to the bane of the sportsman, old goggIe eye, piscatorially known as the rock bass.
 Button bay, over the river, had prov ed a find. One of the gentlemen had caught a four pounder at Horning dock Bait had been lively, and there had been plenty of it despite the usual August blow
 Cranford could not remember when he had passed a more agreeable hour.
 The other two gentlemen were from down the state.
 They told how they split up a months vacation into four weeks-one fin June, one in July, one in August and one in September. which. if the weather behaved itself, was the finest time of the year to fish.
 All agreed upon this point. The small fry had by then taken themselves off; the big chaps began to bite, and they fought like demons.

 Sales of gems would be reported, the original purchaser followed and watch ed, and that would be the last of it.
 The actual smuggler Cranford laid by the heels. The other two he could not touch, as they continued to live in Paris; but he had spoiled their useful ness. From this incident he learned that they always worked in threes. The chief of this clever, resolute band laid his plans, and three unknown men proceeded to execute them.
 The breaking up of this trio warned the chief that the first wedge of tho secret service had been driven home.
 If the quarry remained surrounded by mystery, the hunter was no less in trenched. They were reaching out in 4the dark for each other when Smead's accident happened.
 Mere guesswork had brought about the discovery of the hollow crutches Item. Smead was doubtless the arch smuggler. But on his side he knew who had ripped him up. Smead could still plan, but Cranford would have to carry on the work against men wholly unknown to him. In other words, chance only would lead him from trio to trio.
 Coincidents: Cranford's appearance in the jewel shop in the Rue de la Paix; his careless inquiries of the jew eler.
 Oh, yes. the young gentleman was q first class customer; bought numerous :, jewels for the ladies of the opera, as their agent, however.
 He was a F'renchman.
 Immediately Cranford had lost inter est. But while having tea at the Cafe de Ia Paix, an hour later, he had seen the young Frenchman again in conyer- sation with an American. The jewel case changed hands.

CITY FILES ANSWER.
Denies Any Liability for Injury Done
to Hansis Property by the
Trunk Sewer.

City Attorney John G. Slater this
morning filed with the clerk of the cir
cult court an answer to the suit brought
by Conrad Hansis in which the plain
tiff seeks to recover large sum for
damages alleged to have been done to
his property by the construction of the
main trunk sewer. In the answer the city
attorney insists that any claim which
Cir. Hansis may have must be against
the Cleary, White, Newman company
as it is asserted that Hansis gave the
city a right of way for the sewer in
return for certain privileges of connec-
lions with the sewer without charge.
The examination of the records of the
city show that the city is now with
holding for the settlement of this
claim $2,957 of the amount which was
due to the contracting company for the
building of the sewer. It is said that
at one time the plaintiff Hansis, offered
to settle his claim with the contracting
company for $1,000, but in his action
against the city he claims much
largerl sum.

New Directors Are Named and Plans
Are Outlined for Activities During
Coming Year-Three Big Gatherings
at Paddock's Lake Next Year.

Register Of Deeds Perkins c. Torrey
was reelected president of the Old
Settlers club of Kenosha county at
the annual meeting Of the stockholders
and directors of the club held at the
court house on Monday afternoon. T..
G. Simmons was named as vice presi-
dent, Charles M. Bishop of Bristol as
secretary, and G. G. Brown, treasurer.
The annual report of the officers of
the club showed that the year just
closing has been prosperous one Of
the organization. Many improve
ments have been made to the grounds
and buildings at the Paddock Lake
property and after all bills were paid
there still remained in the treasury
more than hundred dollars as nest
egg for the various celebrations to be
planned by the club for the coming
year.
It was unanimously voted by the
stockholders to hold real "pioneer IS
gathering at the lake in June of next
year. This will be in the nature of
basket picnic and the invitations will
read, For Pioneers Only" The date
Of this gathering will be set by the
president and secretary of the organi-
cation. Then the annual observance
Of the Fourth Of July will be featured
as in other years and an effort will be
made to make this celebration an event
Of more general interest than ever be-
fore. Some prominent Wisconsin
statesman, possibly Governor Philip,
will be invited to be the speaker of
the day and an effort will be made to
unite all patriotic people of the county
to make the day successful.
The annual Old Settler IS picnic is to
be held on the last Thursday in
August as in other years.
Charles H. Pfennig and G. E. Will
liams were named as directors of the
club. Both are named for three
year term.

An Unfortunate Parallel.

The New York World, the special or
gan of the Wilson administration, re-
proaches the Republicans with extreme
partisanship in voting against another
years extension of the crude special
taxes levied last year to overcome a
deficit, due in part to shameless extra
vagance and in part to bungling tariff
making. 1t says that the Republicans
should emulate the action of the Demo-
Gratis of the fifty fifth congress in vot-
ing in favor of placing $50,OOO,OOO in
President McKinley's hands to be used
as he saw fit for preparations for the
imminent war with Spain. The World,
in the first place, forgets that the Dem
ocratic floor leader of the House, in a
speech April 4, 1898, complained that
the Democrats were Compelled to
place $50,OO0,000 under the absolute di-
rection of the president of the United
States.'' Tn the second place, the
World overlooks the attitude of the
Democrats of the same congress toward
bill for raising revenue to meet the
bills of the war, then in progress, war
Champ Clark said the Democrats
brought on. He said, in his picturesque
language, GIVE took the Republicans
by the scruff of the neck and dragged
them into this war.
Yet it took the war revenue measure
forty -eight days to get to President
Mckinley after it was presented to the
House. Every kind of an amendment
was offered Pettigrew tried to tack
on an antitrust measure. Allen sought
to take away note-issuing power from
national banks. Mills proposed hori-
zontal cut Of the Dingley rates and
Morgan wanted to experiment with an
incomeztax which might get by the SUI
preme court. Coinage of the silver
seignorage, an issue of greenbacks and
the sale Of 3 per cent treasury notes
were other proposals. Only five Demo
Gratis of the House voted for the confer
ence report, Cummings and Mcclellan
of New York City, briggs of Brooklyn,
| Fitzgerald of Boston and McAleer OF
Philadelphia. Kitchin and Bankhead
voted against it. Underwood was alb
sent. Every Democratic member from
Missouri, except Benton, who was alb
sent, was against it; Clark, Lloyd,
Dockery, Bodine, Cochran, Cowherd,
De Almond, Bland, Cooney, Robb and
Vandiver. This was real emergency
tax, to carry on war for which all
had voted.-St. Louis Democrat.

GREILING BROTHERS DELAYED
Piling Put in for Intake Is Carried
Away by Northeast Storms and Must
Be Restored Next Spring Before
Intake Work Can be Completed.

The board of water commissioners
in regular session at the city hall on
Monday evening voted to open bids
for the new Kenosha water plant on
the afternoon of January Goth. Bids
are now being asked for the construc-
tion of the various portions of the
plant with the understanding that the
work is to be started by the first of
April and completed by the first of
November. AS something like $250,000
of public funds is to be expended in
completion of these contracts the con-
tracts will seek to secure the employ
ment of Kenosha labor as far as pos
sible. 1t is expected that the contract
for the building of the various build
ings which are to house the new plant
will be let to Kenosha contractors.
Nothing has as yet been done as to the
issuance of the $250,O0O in bonds to
provide for the completion of lthe new
plant. The members of the council
committee on buildings and water
works to whom this matter was re-
ferred has not as yet conferred with
the members of the water board, but it
is thought that conferences will be
held later in the week in order that
the committee may make report to
the council at the meeting to be held
on next Monday evening. It is not
thought that there will be any great
objection on the part of the members
of the council to the proposed bond
issue so long as it carries with it the
provision that all the interest and the
principal be paid from the earnings of

GREAT FRIEND OF CHILDREN
Old Man is Declared to Have Given
Away Profits of Profitable Bust
ness-Had Been an Inmate of City
Farm for Three Years.

cold Philip" is dead. The an
nouncement will bring sorrow to the
hearts of many people in Kenosha.
The old banana peddler, the first of his
race in Kenosha, an old man whose
benevolent smile was known to nearly
all of the children of the city twenty
years ago, died on Monday at the
Kenosha city poor farm. He was
eighty-two years of age and death
came as result of an attack of dropsy
from which he had been suffering for
years. For the past four months life
had been a burden to him for in that
time he had not been able to leave his
chair. He just sat there night and day
waiting for the end to come.
At the poor farm he was listed as
"Philipp Giardino," but few people
who had known him as a familiar char
acter ON the streets of the city ever
knew his last name. He was the first
italian settler in Kenosha. He came
here direct from Italy way back in
1875 and was the first fruit dealer in
the city. For years he had little
store in an old shack where the Plaza
restaurant now is operated and from
this as base Of supplies he peddled
his wares all over the city. For years
he went from street to street with a
push cart. His prices for fruit were
always lower than that in the stores
and it was admitted that he gave away
more than he sold.
Whenever Philip was seen on the
street crowd happy children could
be seen following him and not one of
them went away without getting a
banana or an orange or an apple. Old
Philip never accommodated himself to
modern ways of doing business. There
was time when he had money enough
to open a modern store, but he still
kept to the old push cart and he al
ways claimed that he liked this way of
doing business because it gave him a
chance to find the children and make
them happy. He was never married
Five years ago he was stricken with
dropsy and his little store of savings
which had been laid aside to take care
of him in his old age, was paid out in
doctor s and hospital bills. Three
years ago he reached the limit of his
resources and then, greatly against his
will, he was taken out to the poor farm
He was great favorite with the PEG.
pie at the poor farm. He was always
thankful for favors and never com
planned Notwithstanding the fact thai
he had been terribly i'll for years.
In his life of more than eighty two
years it was his boast that he had
never touched drop of intoxicating
liquors of any kind.
Old Philip was greatly beloved
among the Italians of the city and il
the days when fortune smiled on hin
and his business he had helped many
of them to get start in life.
He is survived by one sister, Mrs
Paulina Mangan, who is residing il
Chicago and she is expected to come tc
Kenosha this evening and make ar
rangements for the funeral 1t will
probably be held from the Italian
church on Thursday morning.

the water board.

the water board.
Greiling Brothers of Green Bay, who
have the contract for the new intake,
have not made a great deal of progress
and in fact all the work so far put in
is the work that has been done along
the beach. The pile protection which
was put in late in the fall has all been
carried out by the northeast storms and
the company has had a considerable
loss on account of the fact that
the weather made it impossible for it
to save this work.
The work will be restored just as
soon as good weather comes in the
spring and as the material for the new
intake is practically all on the ground
it is thought that the Green Bay con-
Germ will be able to complete its con-
tract by the first of June so as not to
interfere in any way with the COM
pletion of the entire plant by the first
of November. It is declared by the
water board that the present plant is
now being operated beyond its rated
capacity in order to furnish water to
the city.
The work of making main connec-
tions will be taken care of early in the
spring of next year and this work will
all be completed before the coming of
the winter months in 1916.
The members of the board believe
that their plans have been so well
