MISUSE OF THE MAILS.
A Factory Girl Arrested This Morning on
This Serious Charge.

A deputy United States marshal
slipped down here from Milwaukee this
morning, made a very quiet arrest and
slipped out of town and mighty few
people were the wiser for it. In fact
there were probably not over a dozen
people who knew the minion of the law
was here on SO important mission.
He quietly enquired where Miss Prudie
Staude lived. Some one who knew
directed him to the rooms over the
Stahl meat market. The officer EVIL
IDENTITY did not find her there and start
ed directly for the Chicago Rockford
Hosiery works. He found the CIR
there and at once took charge of her
and took train for the north.
The charge launched against the CIR
is that of sending an obscene letter
through the mail. 1t is alleged thai
such missive went to the sister in law
of the prisoner, and she, it is believed
entered complaint about it.

THE PRINTERS ORGANIZE.
They Form Union and Petition For a
Regular Charter.

They Form a Union and Petition For a
Regular Charter.
The printers of Kenosha have formed
subordinate union of the international
Typographical union. This is a move
which was started some three or four
days ago, but the organization was not
perfected until Monday evening, when
they met and adopted constitution
and bylaws and then petitioned the
International officers for a charter.
Nearly all the printers in the city are
in the organization, the few remaining
outside being expected to go in within
very short time. The following is
the list of officers: President, Dwight
House; vice president, Miss Della
Kingsland; recording secretary, Henry
Filben; secretary treasurer, Michael
F. Zens.
The charter is expected to arrive in
short time, when the union will seek
the support and cooperation of all the
other unions in the city. The move
has been greatly encouraged by the
other unions, and it is believed that the
requisite support will be granted at
once.

A TANNERY FIRE.
About $40, 900 Worth of Damage Done to
the Leech House.

Fire broke out at about IL o'clock
midnight, Monday night in what is
known as the leech house of the Aliens
Sons tannery, damaging the place to
the extent, directly and indirectly, of
about $4,000. 1t is not known ex-
actly how the fire started, but it is be-
lieved to have originated in a bark
pile from spontaneous combustion or
explosion. However it originated it
burned freely and spread rapidly, until
it got through the entire building.
The leech house is located at the point
where the river bends, or on the south
west corner of the tannery property.
In this place the liquors are prepared
which are used to tan the hides with,
and there were about forty Of the tanks
in the building. The structure was all
wooden one, and it seemed hardly no
time before the roof and it's supports
we're all ablaze. There was consider
able machinery in the place, which
conveyed the liquids TO the buildings
Immediately on the east. The stop
page of the conveyers means a great
portion of the heavy loss.
A casual glance at the outside OF the
building, does not show all the damage
which has been done. The great por-
ton of it was done by the dropping of
cinders and other material into the
LIQUIDS. The outside of the building is
merely charred around the windows
and doors, and that is all the damage
that is apparent in portions of the in
side. The machinery is all ruined.
The moment the fire was discovered
an alarm was given. The department
responded very promptly, but owing to
some difficulty in some of the water
works apparatus, the desired quantity
of water could not be thrown. The
greater part of the work of putting out
the fire was done with the apparatus OF
the tannery.
The insurance on this building was
about $4,000.

A FIRE IN PLEASANT PRAIRIE
Nicholas Zehren's Barn and Contents
Burned Down.

Burned Down.
A serious fire occurred at about 4
o'clock Monday afternoon on the farm
Of Nicholas Zehren, in the town OF
Pleasant Prairie. In some way un-
known the barn caught fire. Mr..
Zehren was in town at the time, and
the man on the place was in a field.
The latter saw the fire and alarmed
Mrs. Zehren and the two set about
saving as much as possible. They
managed to get out some OF the har-
nesses and farming implements. They
were unequal to the task. Three
calves, several farming utensils, four
tons of hay, $50 bushels of oats, har-
ness and other stuff burned, making a
loss of about $1,000. The place on
which this occurred is about three
miles south of the city on the sand
road. 1t could not be learned whether
there was any insurance on the place
or not,

The Mortgage.

A mortgage makes man rustic and
keeps him poor. 1t is strong incen-
tive to action and wholesale reminder
of the tleeting months and years. 1t
is fully as symbolic in its meaning as
the hour glass and scythe that means
death. A mortgage represents INDUS
try because it is never idle night or
day. 1t is like bosom friend because
the greater the adversely the closer it
sticks to fellow. 1t is like brave
soldier, for it never hestitates at
charges nor fears to close it on the
enemies. It is like the sandbag Of the
thug-silent in application, but deadly
in effect. 1t is like the hand Of Provi-
dence-it spreads over all creation and
its influence is everywhere visible. It
is like the grasp Of the devilfsh-the
longer it holds the greater its strength.
1t will exercise feeble energies and
activity to a sluggish brain but nc
matter how debtors work the mort
gage works harder still. A mortgage
is a good thing to have in family
provided always it is somebody's else
| family.

An enthusiastic wheelman gives
the following advice to those who are
ever complaining of the dangers in
meeting bicycle: Don't dodge BIZ
cycle rider, either male or female.
Stand still and the rider will get along
all right. Posts, trees, stones, etc.,
never dodge, and only beginners ever
run into them. If you see " bike"
coming straight at you, don't dodge; if
you do you will confuse the rider. II
you stand still in the middle of the
road or wherever you happen to be
the rider will take care to give you
plenty Of room, but if you go lodging
to get out of the way the chances are
there will be collision and you will
be the worse hurt of the two There
fore don't dodge.

REDUCE THE WHARF.-THE.
The Matter to Come Before Council Conn
rnsttee This Evening.

The Matter to Come Before Council Com
m.ttee This Evening.
The matter before the Council Com
mittee on Wharves. tonight, will be
the question of reducing the rates Of
wharfage charged here to something
like the figures obtaining in other river
cities. and as urged by the Register
TWO months ago. the agitation OF this
paper at that time leading to concurrent
action bv the Chamber Of Commerce
and the appointment Of committee to
wait upon the city authorities The
present Council holds the record OF
turning down, in characteristic short
order. an ordinance reducing the rate
one-half. but it is probable that public
opinion will finally induce the body to
listen to reason. The truth is, The
wharfage rates ought to be abolished
altogether, but it is probably expecting
TOO much of Council to take any such
step as that.
If Council would cut the rates in
two. the income Of the Wharfmaster
would. as a matter of course, be greatly
reduced. and this will bring about a
movement TO give that official a salary
Even the most modest stipend would
amount TO as much or more than the
receipts Of the city, and as the only
earthly business for a Wharfmaster, in
recent years. has been to secure Vhe
payment of fees, Of which he got
twenty-five per cent, The city wOuld
save money and relieve the river in
terests of a burden by roofing out the
whole matter of charges.
What's the matter with Council do
ing something just this once, which will
win public approval?
