and taking until the lights went out.
The crowd that thronged and lam
med the streets stood the carnival fun
Tor about an hour and then the police
cleared the center of the streets long
enough to allow the street cars and
jitneys to get through and every
vehicle that got out of the congested
district was crowded to the doors with
tired Kenosha people on the way
home. It settled down to steady
thing along about midnight. Some of
the bunch from Racine formed a glee
club and they sang on every corner in
the down town district and they ended
up by marching up to the soldier $
monument and over the clear night air
rang out the notes of 30 Say Can You
See by the Dawn s Early Light. ),
They sang the grand old national
anthem all the way through and humid
reds who gathered joined in the chorus
and then the bunch from Racine jump
ed into their autos and calling it a
night hurried home to Racine. There
was lot of music on Main street.
The favorite song down in this part
was Hail, Hail, Hail, the Gangs
All Here.''
But why elaborate further. Nearly
everybody in Kenosha saw it and they
will recall it as long as they live. The
only report of vandalism was from the
Hansmann home on Park street. Some
of the bunch remembered that a sign
had been put up somewhere on Park
street and believing the Home Coming
at an end and that there was no longer
need of the sign they went over and
took it down.

Former Illinois Senator Crit
icises Former Secretary of
State at the Chautauqua.
BLAND BAND pLEAsES CROWDS

Former United States Senator viii
liam E. Mason of Illinois, paid his re.
spects to William Jennings Bryan in
no uncertain terms at the Chautauqua
on Friday afternoon when he spoke be-
fore large crowd at the big tent at
the high school grounds. The former
senator has been much in public life
in the last twenty-five years and his
address was easily the feature of the
Chautauqua programs so far given in
Kenosha. He started in by giving
some decidedly interesting reminis-
cences of the presidents that he had
known and while always a political
leader among the republicans of the
nation he showed a non-partisan spirit
when he proclaimed Grover Cleveland
as one Of the greatest of American
presidents. He declared that when the
history Of the nation is rewritten a
hundred years from now that Grover
Cleveland would stand out as one of
the great president. He paid a won
derful tribute to the patriotism and
lovable character Of William McKin-
ley and gave interesting intimate side
lights on the lives Of several other of
the presidents.
There was a charm about his blunt
talk that appealed nightly to the
crowd. When Mr.. Mason reached his
discussion of the policy Of Mr.. Bryan
he was vigorous and he put lot of
humor into his description of what he
called the antics Of the Commoner.
He declared that Bryan was inconsis-
tent and that he was playing to the
galleries in refusing to sign the Sec
ond note to Germany. He intimated
that the resignation of Mr.. Bryan was
not body blow to the nation and
paid tribute to the new secretary of
state. He summed up his characteri-
cation of Bryant in the declaration
that the political and presidential bee
was bussing so much in the bonnet of
the Nebraskan that he could not see
his greater patriotic duty to the nation.
Featured with former Senator Ma
son was the Bland Band of Chicago
made up of fifteen young musicians
who rendered concerts at the afternoon
and evening sessions of the Chautau-
qua. Conductor Bland has a great
company of young players and the
program was one which brought con-
tinued applause. The solo artists were
especially pleasing and the ensemble
work of the band expressed best in
the Clusters Last Fight was won
derful playing of martial music. The
Bland band was one of the best musical
offerings Of the whole six days.

PASSES FOR SWEENEY
Former Cub President Sends .Cubs
Best Fam Tickets for Ball Games.


Charley Sweeney, the champion Cub
fan of Kenosha has gained recognition.
On Thursday he received letter from
Charles w. Murphy, former president
of the Chicago Cubs, enclosing six
tickets for ball games in Chicago dur
ing the remainder of the summer. The
letter which accompanied the tickets is
an interesting one. It follows:
June 23rd, 1915.
Dear Mr.. Sweeney:
| am sending you six (6) compli-
mentary tickets to the Cub games
for 1915. Each is good for two admis
sions. They are sent with the compli-
ments of President Thomas. We have
both heard Of you as the greatest
g Cub fan in Wisconsin. These tickets
are good on Sunday or for any games
during the season of 1915. If you can t
use them give them to some of your
friends. The "Cubs'' have a great
manager this year in Roger Bresnahan.
When / come to Kenosha again / shall
certainly look you up.
Very truly yours,
Charles w. Murphy.
