MUIR PAID HIS FARE.
A Railroad King Has to Pungle Up a
Nickel.

Nickel.
Mr.. J. A. Muir has had great deal to
do with giving passes, and he has always
been literally inclined about such mat
ters. Yesterday he had a little expe-
rience which will make him sympathize
more than ever with those unhappy
beings to think they ought to have free
transportation, but who have been left
off the list.
Mr.. Muir stood yesterday morning at
the corner OF Main and Fourth streets,
admiring his new electric railway. The
evenly laid rails, the symmetrical poles,
the FURNISHED copper wire, all appealed
successfully to his sense of beauty. Soon
the warning sound of gong was
heard. and car came along
and Mr.. Muir got on board to 60 TO his
Office at the Arcade depot. Now it hap
pened that Captain Barrett had put a
man on ae conductor of that car who had
not been but few days in the city, and
who did not know Mr.. Muir. As the
latter gentleman settled himself COM
fortably in his seat his ear was assailed
by the sound of the unusual words to
him:
''Fare, please"
Muir smiled at the man and replied,
tI'm Muir"
"That's all right, but want your
nickel" was the answer.
The other passengers began to get in
terested, and Mr.. Muir again explained !:
f'I'm Mr.. Muir. I'm an officer of the
road. That's all right, my man; don't
pay any fare"

REDDICK IN AUSTIN.
The Lawyer and His Frail Companion
Located.

=
Located.
Last winter the HERALD announced
the flight of Charles R. Reddick from
this city in company with prostitute
named Lily Stephens, with whom he
was infatuated. Reddick had wife
and children here, was successfully
practicing law and had political aspira-
tions.
He became completely entangled in a
liason with the woman mentioned, how
ever, and one afternoon they packed
their trunks and vanished. Since then
until yesterday nothing has been
heard from the wretched couple. Yes
terday HERALD reporter was told, on
very good authority, that the two were
living in Austin, Texas. The occupa-
tion followed by young Reddick was not
given, but it is more than likely that he
has fallen to the level of his companion.

Death of A Well Known Man.

The following is clipped from a Chi
cage daily and great many Kenosha
people will remember the deceased:
ARKADELPHIA, Ark, Oct. 30.-There
was frightful railroad wreck on the
Ultima Thule Railroad near here to-day.
Captain Jack Weed, the superintendent
of the railroad, was killed and several
other passegers seriously injured. The
road is ten miles long and runs only
mixed trains The caboOse jumped tho
track rolling down an embankment.
Captain Weed was brother of Mrs. E.
Pennoyer and Mrs A d. Northway and
was one of Kenosha's old residents His
father assisted in the construction of the
first log house IN the old town Of South
port, of which he was one Of the earliest
settlers.
In connection with this we take the
following from the Little Rock Ark
Gazette:
LITTLE Rock, October 81
To the Editor Of the Gazette:
Your telegraphic report this morning
announced the death of Jack Weed in
railroad accident near Arkadelphia. The
news came without warning and was a
sad surprise to many warm and lifelong
friends in Little Rock The deceased was
about fifty years of age and a member of
the order of Railway Conductors and
Mason He came to Arkansas from the
North, and during the war was both an
engineer and conductor on the Little
Rock and Memphis road in the service Of
the Federal Government. a few years
after the close of hostllities he went with
the old Iron Mountain and was active in
the construction of the Cairo and Fulton
Railroad through Arkansas He was a
passenger conductor under the late Col.
James n. Mosley, when the Cairo and
Fulton Railroad was operated by the En-
gineering department. When JudS0nia
was the Northern teaminuS of the line he
was the general agent at that point, and
later he was roadmaster under Col. w.
P. Homan, when he was the superin-
tendent. During the building Of the Cot
ton Belt Railroad through Arkansas he
resigned the position of passenger con-
ductor on the Iron Mountain to enter the
Construction department Of the road and
was not afterwards connected with the
Iron Mountain. Abouteighteen years ago
his brother was accidentally killed few
miles north Of Little Rock, while engaged
in numbering. He leaves a widow and
three children, one Of them married and
living at Texarkana, and two boys, Louis
aged about II years, and a native Of Lit
tie Rock, and Henry, about 6, born at
Texarkana He was a good man, true to
all the instincts of manhood, and held in
high esteem by all who knew him. The
family have the sympathy of many
friends at their old home.
Respectfully,
GEO Russ BROWN.

Horrible Accident.

Tuesday morning the remains Of a
man were found scattered along the c.,
nj. 81 ST. p railroad near Ranney station.
Assistance was quickly summoned and
hastily constructing box of pieces of
fencing they gathered up the mutilated
members of man whose life had been
literally ground out of him by passing
train. The face was so badly mangled
that no one could recognize it and the
clothing torn in shreds. Both legs and
arms were severed from the body. The
body was cut in two and lay scattered
along the track. The remains were
brought to this city Tuesday evening and
were finally identified as those of John
Kennedy who lived in Milwaukee and
who left that city on freight on Monday
night for Chicago. The coroner's verdict
was in accordance with the above facts.
Undertaken Hansen prepared the re-
mains for shipment and they will proba-
bly, be shipped to the relatives Of the de-
ceased in Milwaukee to-day.

Neglected Higher Education.

An influential and widely popular peri
odical calls attention to the manifest neg
lect of the higher institutions of learning,
especially the theological, to the import
ance of voice culture and the proprietieS
in public speaking. Many who have pre-
pared themselves for the ministry and
gone out to do service in the sacred work
Of gospel preaching give evidence Of neg
lected instruction in the essential qualifi-
cations mentioned. Clergymen are not
expected to qualify themselves for teach
ers of elocution, but in this advanced age
of intelligence it is reasonable to expect of
them that they should read and speak be-
fore intelligent audiences fairly well. A
good voice for public speaking is nat
ural gift but there is no excuse for the
disagreeable voice of professional speak
er whose vocation requires addressing
public audiences. Voice culture is as
practicable for public speaking as for vo-
Cal music. History tells us that Demos
themes in his earlier years, was ridlculed
for his repulsive voice and manner OF
speaking, but by training became an ora
tor of world wide reputation, Many a
we'll prepared sermon has failed to be lis
tened to with interest because Of dis
agreeable voice or manner Of delivery.
An immense amount Of labor in sermon
izing has been lost for the want Of a good
voice and agreeable delivery. How often
has the remark been heard, that would
have been good sermon or address If it
had been we'll delivered" st. Paul, it is
probable had received an evolutionary
training and the rudiments of oratory,
which is indicated in his mastery speech
before King Agrippa. Effective scripture
reading is not a common attainment; the
language is sometimes rendered conveying
no greater impression than the reading of
Esop's Fables. Men whose opinions are
entitled to respect have said that when
the scriptures are properly read all COM
mentary interspersed with the reading is
superfuous and often detrimental because
it detracts from the sublimity of the sa-
cred word. 1t has often been related and
will bear repeating of Booth (the elder,
that once in company with few literary
| friends he repeated the Lords prayer,
| When he concluded his hearers looked at
each other with surprise; they never be-
fore realized the grandeur and sublimity
Of that simple prayer. AS for hymn
reading, that seems IN these later years tc
be omitted by majority of ministers
The reasons for reading the hymns doe:
not bear criticism; it has been said there
is about the same reason for duplicating
the prayer as to Duplicate the hymn by
reading and singiag It,

A Daring Robbery.

The Kupfer Cracker company's Office
was robbed Sunday morning between ten
o'clock and quarter of twelve of about
S165 ali told. The work was done with
neatness and dispatch and not thing was
left behind whereby the nervy individs
uals could be apprehended or thread
taken up which might at some future
time assist in :heir capture. On Satur-
day night VIII Kupfer did not draw his
salary and on Sunday he came up to the
store and opening the safe paid himself
off. Hon. j. B. Kupfer was to be down
in short time to look over some ac-
counts. The safe is in a dark corner and
Mr.. Kupfer's eyesight is not as good as it
used to be, he therefore experiences some
trouble in opening the safe. For this
reason Will left the same open and went
home. At quarter of twelve he came
back in company with two other young
men and then discovered that the safe
had been robbed. Ia the dining room
near the rear door lay two cigar boxes
that had been used for holding silver; one
of these for dimes and the other for quar-
tiers and larger denominations. Near by
the pocket book lay with two checks in it,
| undisturbed, but all the greenbacks gone.
On table near by set the nickel box, it's
contents apparently untouched.
The loss amounts to from 1857 to S175.
The thieves had entered through dining
room window and left through the rear
door of that apartment. There is not
particle of suspicion regarding the guilty
parties. 1t was no doubt some one we'll

premises and its surroundings.
On Monday morning two of the Kupfer
Cracker company's employees began a
search around the premises for the money
that was taken from the safe the day
previous and it was not long until, in
overturning a piece of crockery they found
the missing treasure wrapped in piece
of shirt. The money was taken into the
Office where it was counted and showed
that SITS. II had been made away with

with the money. No action is taken as
yet toward the arrest of any one.

this countys apportionment for the State
tax for this year as compared with that CT
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1891-11-05

AS great deal was said about State
finances and great many promises made
during the last State campaign, the fol-
lowing comparative statement will be read
and studied by our readers with a great
deal of interest, especially as we were as
sured that the taxes for 1891 would be
less than they had been for the previous
wear. Of this we leave for our readers to
judge for themselves.
The above is either of two things. It is
either due to an error in the valuation
which is the basis of the apportionment
tax, or that the State board of equalixa-
ton have seen fit to materially increase
the valuation in the State assessment OF
Kenosha county. The following is the
apportionment Of this county for last
year, of which the Democracy made gen
eral complaint:

that instead of lowering our taxes for this
county, they have increased them to the
amount of 81, O6934 When we consider
the fact that the democracy of the State
made the State taxes their hobby during
the last year, it seems that there has been
