Saloon Men Seek Licenses.

More than hundred saloon keepers
Of the city filed applications for Ii
.censes with the council on Monday
evening and there was lot of new
faces in the lineup of the applicants.
Some old faces were present in the
lineup. The Krisor saloon on Milwau-
kee avenue is in the list and John Neu-
bauer, another of the ones turned down
last year, is asking for license. For
some unforeseen reason Edelweiss park
is not included in the list, but it is
thought probable that license for
this place will come up later.
There is an unusually large number
of changes in the list of individuals

An extremely pretty wedding was
solemnized at St. Matthew Episcopal
church, at p. m. Thursday, the Rev.
Fred Ingley officiating, when Miss
Margaret Kingsley, daughter Of Mrs.
Fl. G. Kingsley, 773 Prairie avenue, was
married to Henry Gerling.
About 500 guests were present at the
church. Shortly before the wedding
party appeared, James Bailey at the or
gan, played a voluntary, which changed
into the wedding march at a signal
from the ushers.
The wedding procession was led by
the ushers, Charles Kitzrow and Fred
Cummings. After them came little
Miriam KitzroW, ring bearer, carrying
a large Gala lily in which were the
two rings used in the double ring SER
vice employed.
The brides maid, Miss Florence
Kingsley, a sister of the bride, was in
pink messaline with an overdress Of
pink tulle and carried pin- roses.
The groom Is man was Carl Bull.
The bride wore a pretty wedding
gown Of brides satin with white
point L esprit veil, caught with lilies
of-the-valley, and carried a shower bou-
quet of lilies-of -the-valley and white
roses. The wedding gown was of espe-
clal interest because it is in itself a
beautiful creation and it has been worn
by both of Mrs. Gerling s sisters, the
Mines. John Kitzrow and Alexander
Ebert as brides. 1t was worn first by
Mrs. Kitzrow, nine years ago. 1t may
be worn by one more Of the Kingsley
sisters and then is to be kept as relic
until the daughters or granddaughters
of the brides who have already worn
it shall have occasion to don it on SINH
lar occasions.
The bride was on the arm of her
brother, Ralph Kingsley, who gave her
away.
After the ceremony forty guests went
to the home of the bride where a we'd
ding supper was served.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gerling left directly
after for a honeymoon in the Dells.

Order Big Sewers Built.

Of great interest to the people re-
siding to the west of the Chicago and
Milwaukee tracks, was the action of
the council in ordering bids for the
construction of sewers on First avenue,
Second avenue, Third avenue, between
Salem and Selma avenues, and from
Balm avenue to the Rategan road on
Salem avenue. The estimate of the
cost Of these sewers is $4,000 and
the property owners will be assessed to
the amount Of $4,000, the remainder
being paid by the city. Bids were
ordered at once and it is expected that
the contracts will be let SO that
the sewers can be put in before the
end of the present year.

UNUSUALLY BEAUTIFUL AFFAIR

Tt was like a glimpse Of fairyland--
the Adams McMullen wedding Saturday
night in st. Matthew's Episcopal
church, when Miss Dorothy Adams,
only daughter Of DR.. and Mrs. George
Francis Adams of Exchange street, and
Earle McMullen, were married by the
Rev. Fred Ingley in the presence of an
audience Of Kenosha s representative
society people and many visitors from
Canada and the east.
AS the guests assembled, Mrs. Anna
Peat-Fink played softly upon the or
gan. Shortly before the bridal party
arrived, little Miss Helen McMullen of
Detroit, niece Of the groom, appeared
in the organ loft and played a violin
solo, "Liebestraume by List, to
Mrs. Peat Fink's accompaniment. The
child is skillful yiolinist and has
studied her art in Berlin under the
best of German masters.
AS the strains of the violin died
away, the opening bars Of the Lohen-
grin wedding march sounded and the
ushers, led by James r. Anderson,
moved slowly down the long aisle to
the stately measures of the classic
march and proceeded to the altar where
the groom, the best man, George Bar
rett McMullen, q brother Of the groom,
and the clergyman awaited it.
The ushers were Arthur Quigley,
James Malcolm Kehlor, Ralph Corey,
Stanley Hackett, Kenosha Isaac
Boughman, Marseilles, ILL.,, and Harry

Following her came the flower girl
little Mary Ethelwyn Robin Of Bos-
ton, niece of the groom, wearing a
gown Of pale blue trimmed with tiny
rosebuds, and carrying basket Of
lilies-of the-valley. The bride came

ing upon her fathers arm. Her gown
was Of silk tulle over ivory satin, with
full court train, and the floating tulle
of the veil reached to the hem Of the
train. The veil was caught with a
coronet Of pearls and orange blossoms

Like a Painting.

The picture was one of indie
scribable loneliness as the beautiful
young women, gowned in delicate pas
tel draperies Of floating tulle came
slowly down the aisle. The dainty
pastel coloring was most effective
against the background Of pink and
white flowers which were used in
profusion in decorating the chancel,
altar and peWs.
The impressive Episcopal marriage
service was read by the Rev. Mr.. Ing
ley and the responses were given clear
~ by both bride and groom. Miss
Adams was given away by her father.
Immediately after the ceremony a
small reception was held in the home
Of DR.. and Mrs. Adams. The house
was beautifully decorated with smilax
and pink and white roses.

Among the handsome gowns worn
were few particularly notable; that

John B. Konz, the man who conducts
Schend's park on Milwaukee avenue,
sought to stage a comeback for the
Sunday dance in Kenosha, but the
council promptly referred the petition
to the committee on license and it is
not thought that the permit viii be
granted when that committee makes
its report.
Want Telephone Plan.
Property owners on Pomeroy street
sent a petition demanding that the
telephone company put conduits in that
street before the paving and as the Of
ficials of the company insisted that the
underground work was TO be on Prairie
avenue and not on Pomeroy street the
action on the petition was laid over
for two weeks with the understanding
that by this time the telephone COM
pany viii file with the committee a
map showing just what its plans for
underground work in the city are. 1t
is understood that if this map is not
filed before the next meeting of the
council that an order win be issued
to the company to put the conduits
into Pomeroy street.
The council declined to make any
appropriation to assist in the enter
tainment of the annual state conven-
ton of the Wisconsin Retailers asso-
citation, petition from the local asso-
citation asking for aid being placed
on file.
No Action on Park Lands.
The council heard the proposition OF
the owners of the Ludwig property for
the sale of this property to the city
for park purposes. An action to con
denim the property is now pending in
the county court and the council de
clined to make any offer or to accept
the offer of the property owners. The
offer provides that the property to the
east of Rowland avenue be sold to the
city at rate of $1,000 an acre and
that the property west of Rowland
avenue be taken over at 1926 an acre

ton of peddlers in the city and for
the issuing of permits for the use of
portions of streets and sidewalks for

given their first readings. They will
come up for passage at the next meet
ing of the council.
The council had hot tilt with the
Karnes sisters over the easement for
the intercepting sewer through the
property owned by them, but after a
considerable discussion the easement
offered by the North Western Railway
company, was accepted by the council.
The meeting was long and tiresome
one and when half past twelve O'Clock
was reached the council adjourned with
a lot of things still waiting to be acted
on. No final action was taken on the
garbage collection project and the com
mittee on elevation of tracks had no
report ready for the council.

across the border. were inclined to
make light of F'lip's apprehensiye re-
marks when the Mexican trip was the
subject of conversation among the per
formers.
And so Ii was not surprising to Flip
when the show began unloading for
its opening performance across the
border to observe the unfriendly at
titude of many of the natives, or to
note their lowering glances and open
gestures of hatred for the American
circus people.
'Mebby you are right about these
greasers," said one of the clowns when
they had assembled In their dressing
tent to unpack their wardrobe. i've
been watching these Spaniards and
they don't look very happy because
the big show has come their way"
"Well, don't want to say anything
about having told you so, but do
advise you to be mighty careful what
you do and say on this trip down
here" said Flip. And then, as ever,
reverting to the troubles on his mind,
the old clown added: I'm half glad
Peg isn't along / do wish knew
where she really was"
There now, old man." was the
CHEEKY call from a half dozen of the
clowns as in one voice; quit your
worrying. She's all right and will
surprise you again some day soon."
But Flip was not so easily comfort
ed. We've got three mortal days and
nights to spend right here, and then
more towns like 1t for weeks to come.
And IL Peg catches up with the show
she'll always be In danger from these
half-civilized greasers."
All through the dressing tents and
around the lot everybody with the
show finally became infected with the
spirit of apprehension that Flip had
inspired by his remarks, furthered by
the noticeable attitude of the natives
toward the Americans. There was to
be only show at night, on the first
day, for the working men were oper-

terry there was no one who could say
that they had even entered the car.
The girls who dressed with Peg only
knew that she had started for the rail-
road yards to see the pony and find
out how badly 1t was injured.
1t was late In the evening when the
show trains were ready to start. Flip
was the last to enter the performers
sleeper. He hoped until the very last
moment the trains pulled out, that
Peg would appear and start with the
rest of the company for Mexico.
Everybody was interested and curl
GUS when the circus train crossed the
bridge where the collision had wrecked
the car. But once the show was rat
thing along the rails, Its journey well
begun, the Incidents of the preced-
ing days were forgotten by everyone
save Flip.
There was no sleep for the old
clown that night, and he was awake
and worrying about his little girl when
the circus trains crossed the border
into Mexico just at break OF day. The
old clown shook his head and NUT
tered, dlsconsolately, to himself:
II dread this Mexican trip. There's
something tells me these greasers are
going TO give us trouble. wonder
why the governor couldn't find
enough towns in the United States to
keep this show going for the rest of
the season."
And there was good reason for Flip
and everybody with the show TO be
apprehenslve. For weeks the papers
had been filed with exciting rumors
Of trouble across the Mexican frontier.
Only in the past few days it had been
announced that government soldiers
were being held Ia readiness for sud
den expeditions across the border.
The decision to send the show into
Mexico had been reached when the
signs of discord were not so preva-
/ lent; when only a few among the
higher officials had an lnkling Of how
serious the situation might eventually
become. And, furthermore, the old
route having been cancelled when the
/ circus burned, there was nothing to
| do but proceed with the Mexican trip

season.

young Lund. who raised his arms and
encircled her shoulders as he held her
In fond embrace.
Don't worry about me, sweetheart"
said Lund- "A little rest here win FIX
me up all right. And besides, would
like to stay here until I get In good
shape before going home. There Is
so much mystery there that 1t puzzles
me--and whoever is giving me this
chase need not know how close he
came to putting me out of business"
well, then, we had better decide"
said Peg. you stay here until you
get stronger. and I'll join the circus
In Mexico. It will only take me one
days ride from here to oyertake them,
and when you leave here and go home
telegraph me-for you know / don't
want to lose track of you, ever again."
Peg hid her blushing cheeks OF the
shoulder Of the man she loved. And
young Lund gently caressed her golden
hair as he whispered tender love
words In her ear.
The wrecking crew had cleared the
debris of the box car from the bridge
in short time after the smashup that
nearly sentPeg and young Lund to their
death. The events which so swiftly
passed during the afternoon could
have no bearing on the movements of
the show. Doctor Lund had held the
circus In town one day, under subter-
fuge, but now 1t must move upon its
trip to Mexico.
Flip, the clown, was the only dis
consulate member of the company.
He was distressed because of Pegs dis
appearance, and his agony was in
creased by the uncertainty of her fate.
To be sure no trace of human beings
had been found In the wreck OF the
shattered box car. The pony was
there, so badly crippled that 1t had to
be killed.
But there was no sign of Peg or
young Lund having ever been In the
car. And to add further to the mys-

ating on somewhat different condi-
tons than they were accustomed to,
and 1t was thought best to give plenty
of time to pitch the tents and arrange
the paraphernalia.
When time came for the opening
performance the spirit of their work
took possession of the show folks and
they seemed to forget their otherwise
unpleasant surroundings. The spirit
of frolic and fun possessed them; the
blare of the band music inspired them,
and the show ran smoothly through
the program.
The clowns gathered around old
Flip when time approached for Pegs
number to be given. The girls who
usually dressed with Peg had passed
the word that there would be "sur-
prise number" when the time came for
Peg to appear, and almost everybody
with the show knew what the "sur-
PRISE would be-except Flip.
To add to their own enjoyment of
the lark and for the purpose of giving
the old clown happy awakening from
his troubles, everybody had kept
secret the fact that Peg had arrived
just after the performance had begun
and was making ready for her num-
Der in time to go on.
And there was another who was
surprised when Peg returned. Chock-
70, the Hindu, had reached the Mex
lean town during the afternoon and
was following his usual practice OF
sneaking around the circus to find
something that he could report to
Mrs. Lund when she should, also
