oHAUTAUoUA PROFITS FOR R. C.
Chairman Parker Ready to Give Aid to
the Soldiers if People Like the
Summer Programs.

Chairman T. T. Parker of the com
mittee in charge of the summer chau-
tauqua to be held In Kenosha beginning
August 10Th and continuing to August
18th wants to make the summer enter
tainments a patriotic festival and to
this end he has suggested to the com
mittee that all profits from the sale of
tickets beyond the actual expenses of
the programs be given to the Kenosha
branch of the American Red Cross. The
decision on the matter is to be made
within the next few days and the com
pany in charge of furnishing the enter
tainments for the week will be asked
to join with the committee in giving a
part of its profits for the aid of the
great American organization of relief
-Four hundred tickets have been sub
scribed for up to the present time and
in order to insure the success of the
chautauqua it will be necessary to dis
pose of a total of 500 tickets.
IF we could make this a great pa
triotic festival with the understanding
that the profits would go to the Red
Cross, said Mr. Parker thi- morning.
IT feel that every one in Kenosha
would be pleased to give it support.
The program is going to be worthy
one and it is most fitting that the
profits go to a worthy cause. I know
OF nothing more worthy than the Amer
lean Red Cross. Of course the commit
tee must make the final decision in the
matter but I feel certain that large
number Of the members would favor
this plan"

BURGLARS MAKE RICH HAUL.
Thieves Enter Wilmot Meat Market
and Get Away With Cash to
She Amount of $4,000.

One o. the biggest cash hauls ever
made by burglars in Kenosha was made
by unknown men who entered the meat
market Of Charles Corr in the village
of Wilmot some time last night or early
this morning. The safe in the market
was forced open and the burglars got
away with cash to the amount of two
hundred sixty dollars. After the burg
larry the safe was closed and the burg
larry was not discovered until Just after
nine O'Clock this morning Corr went
to the safe at this time to get some
money for change and found the cash
box empty. It is believed that the
burglars entered the market through
one Of the windows of the building and
that in some manner they discovered
the combination to the safe. Sheriff
Hermann was notified of the burglary
Just after ten clock and he at once
sent Deputies to scattered parts of the
county with instructions to pick up all
suspicious characters. Several strang-
ers were seen about Wilmot on Thurs
day evening and it is thought that
the robbery of the market had been
carefully planned.
