The Next Attraction.

The ear will be gratiied by delight
full music rendered by an exceptionally
fine company of artists and full Choir
us of thirty-fve people, and the eye
will be dazzled with beautiful scenery
and gorgeous costumes when the Cal
houn Opera company appears at the
Rhode Saturday evening, Oct. l6.
This company now in it's fifth season
is regarded everywhere as one of the
foremost if not actually the foremost
opera company in the country today.
And this is almost entirely due to the
energy and determination of Mr.. Kirt-
land Calhoun who personally directs all
the productions of this company. This
season Mr.. Calhoun has engaged a
much larger company than he hitherto
had and has augmented his orchestra
which will make his productions as near
perfection DIS it is possible for mortal
man to make them. We are promised
a great treat and it is safe to say that
this will be the musical and social
event of the season, and that the the
ater will be packed upon this occasion
goes without saying.

THOUGHT HE COULD SHOOT
But When Miss Emma stebblns Took the
Gun He Threw Up His Hands.

Guy Simmons thinks he can shoot
He has gun and has let the powder
blow bullets out of it several times and
has hit the mark so often that he got
the above idea. But he ran up against
snag Tuesday that made him throw
up his hands. He with a party were
out picnicing, and among those present
was Miss Emma Stebbins. Miss Steb-
bins says she never had a gun in her
hands before, and when one was hand
ed her she got 800 or 400 yards from a
target made of one of the small wooden
plates common at picnics, and blazed
away at it. Three or four times in
succession she drove bullet into the
plate. from standing position and
with no support for the gun other than
her arm. Mr.. Simmons soon saw that
she was developing remarkable ability
as a marksman, or probably more
properly markswoman, and so he
pulled silver dollar from his pocket
and sticking it up in the bark of a tree
told the girls that the one to hit it
could have it. Several other girls
pulled the trigger, but the bullets did
not even touch the tree. Miss Emma,
however, plunked it first pop. Mr..
Simmons declared she could not do it
again, so she repeated the operation
without any difficulty whatever
This was getting little warm for
him, so in desperation he put up a
silver dime and declared he knew she
could not hit that. He failed in his
prediction, for the bullet which left the
gun that time was specially designed
by it's maker to spot that dime. It
went straight as a bee line and hit the
handsome young lady who has been
sitting so long on that liberty shield
that it is time she got up and gave it a
rest, right in the neck. 1t was hot
shot. 1t took the record, and now
Guy Simmons knows he can't shoot.

AFTER SCHOLEY AGAIN.
Chicago Police omcer Has Bit to say In
the Leutgert Trial.

Chicago Police officer Has Bit to Say In
the Leutgert Trial
Chicago, Oct. 8.-This is the last day
of the states evidence in the Luetgert
case. The sur-rebuttal will probably
occupy all of tomorrow, then the argu-
ments will begin.
Mrs. Luetgert" will not lie brought
into the courtroom. What would have
been an exciting scene is thereby
spoiled. One of the women seen at
Kenosha is now in Chicago ready to ap-
pear in the courtroom. But a connect
ing link is missing, and the jury will
not see her. 1t was the intention of
States Attorney Deneen and Assistant
States Attorney AIcEwen to bring a
man named Philbin down from Keno
sha to identify the woman as the al
legged 8 Mrs. Luetgert." Philbin was
with Matt Scholey when the latter saw
the woman at the Maple House. He
says the woman found by the state is
the one he and Scholey saw at Keno
sha, but he would not be induced TO
come to Chicago to testify. To do SO
he would have to give the lie to his
friend Scholey, and there was some
other mysterious influence which served
to keep him away. AS there was no.
body left to identify the woman so pos
itively, the idea of bringing her into
court was given up.
Detective Frederick De Celle took
the stand to riddle further the Kenosha
alibi story. Matt Scholey, the barten-
der, was the object of his attack. Mr..
McEwen picked up great typewriter
scroll.
Ibid Matt ScholeY say to you,
I'VE are out for the money; if you
have the stuff, we will talk to you?'
He did," replied the officer incis-
lively.
The jurors glanced up at the witness
quickly and hung upon his words very
intently.
Mr.. McEwen continued
Did you ask Scholey the weight of
this woman whom he had seen at the
Maple house?"
81 did,"
is it not fact that he could not
reply until he had consulted with a
man named Philbin?"
Yes"
Did not Philbin say To him, the
woman you saw was not Mrs. Luetgert,
and you know it, and was not Scholey
silent?"
Eyes, SIR" replied the officer to
whom had been intrusted the task of
demolishing the Kenosha story.
"That's ALL" said Mr.. McEwen, and
the defense's cross-examination COM
menced.

PROF. SEVERANCE DEAD.
The Well known Dancing Master Passes
Away at North Chicago.

Prof. A. E. Severance, who few
years ago was we'll known in Kenosha
as a dancing teacher, died at North
Chicago Friday morning. His death
came very suddenly. He had been
sick but day and nothing serious was
expected.
Personally Prof Severance was a
very picturesque figure. He wore very
silvery hair in long curls, giving him a
decidedly venerable and poetic appear
ance. He was man of very advanced
ideas, and while resident of Milwau-
kee two or three years ago was presi-
dent of the Liberal club, one of the
broadcast deliberative assemblies in the
northwest. A more genial, kindly dis
posed man one would have to hunt a
long while to find.

SUPPOSED TO BE A FRAUD.
Man After Money Alleged to Be to
Build a Church

For the past few days an unknown
man has been going about the city,
said to be collecting money seemingly
on false pretenses. 1t was reported
that he represented himself as author
lied by certain bishop in Milwaukee
to agitate the formation of a Polish
catholic church and gain subscriptions
for the purpose of building the same.
A few DAYS since two sisters, whose
business called them out among the
people, learned that stranger had
been asking aid on the same pretext in
the city of Racine. Their suspicious
were aroused by the mysterious nature
of the affair, and accordingly they
communicated the information to one
of the local priests, who forthwith
began inquiry regarding the unknown.
Finally he went to Milwaukee and
sought out the bishop who was repre-
sented as authorizing the conduct Of
the mysterious man. When the bishop
was told the story, he denied having
given any one any such permission, or
having sent out anybody for such
purpose. This information was brought
back to this city, and the police were.
notified of the facts in the case. They
embarked on tour of discovery as
soon as possible, and have located the
man where he is easily accessible, but
have been unable to find any cases
where he has done any collecting.

Adjudged Insane.

August Windlandt. quiet appear
ing old gentleman, who has lived
about here for some twenty years, was
adjudged insane in county court this
afternoon. He has been possessed of
two Authorizations for sometime past
and was deemed to be dangerous. He
thought himself the discoverer of nat
ural gas, and failed to understand why
people did not give him orders for it.
His other hallucination is that he is
next to Jesus Christ, above the Holy
Ghost and is controlled entirely by
what the spirit may order to do. 1t
was for this latter reason he was deem
ed dangerous.

what Good Roads Mean.

Surely, if there is any one TO be ben
Gifted by the improvement of our
country roads, it is the farmers. The
trouble with those who are Directing
to road improvements is often that
they are too short sighted to see their
own advantage. They forget that
every trip co town with load of crops
means an expenditure OF time and
effort, wear and tear on wagons and
harness, all of which means dollars
and cents to them in an indirect way.
Good roads mean not only larger
loads, they mean faster trips. They
mean that where it required four
horses to draw a load where roads
were poor, only two horses are
necessary after it is properly improv-
ed that the wagon and the buggy
will last twice as long, because of less
hard usage on gravel hills and stony
roads. They mean that the distance
to the next house is decreased by half
because it takes half as long as long as
before as to reach it with the buggy.
They mean that the. farmer can see
his neighbor oftener, aud come into
closer touch,with the world, doing much
toward his higher civilization. They
mean that his children can get to
school easier, and will have to miss
school less. often on account of muddy
roads. They mean that shower of
rain will not keep the farmers home
on election day, Swhen it is their duty
to go to the polls and vote. They
mean that it will become possible to
deliver mail throughout the country
districts, instead of requiring people
in the country to go to town to get it.
They mean greater conveniences of
many kinds, and the many benefits
WEIGH necessarily follow better means
of communication with the world in
general.
It is a pleasure tol see that the
friends of the good roads movement
are multiplying every year; that the
farmers Institutes are taking up the
matter of good roads; that che agri-
cultural societies are discussing means
of improving country roads; that the
successful and progressive farmers are
taking up the agitation for better high
ways and convincing their neighbors
upon the subject; that road machinery
is being purchased in larger quantities
each year; that the number of town
meetings which vote to retain the old
system OF working outo the road
taxes is growing smaller continually,
and that the old pillow and shovel
method of road building is rapidly
being crowded back into the pages
of history. The farmers of this coun
try are realizing that better roads
mean everything to them, and it is
safe to say that we are upon the verge
of a general effort to place the roads
of the United States upon proper
footing. The matter of roads is one
in which we are far behind, however
great our progress in other directions
may have been, and it is source of
wonder to every European who visits
the United States, that we have been
content to leave our roads in such
wretched shape.

The Indian women were proverbially strong,

common with women of today were unknown
to them. They were worthy, indeed, to be
the mothers of a race that has become known
to history as possessing lives of great duration
free from pain and sickness. The reason was
due simply to the then great knowledge OF the
Indians as how to cure disease by the aid of
Natures remedies. The Kickapoo Indian

Her Gala Lily.

flowers. She has her yard full Of them in
the summer and her house full of them in

SUPREME JUSTICES, GOWNS.


Fitting Court Dress.
Ex President Harrison tells of the con-
tention created over the question Of an ap.
propriate court dress for the justices of the
federal supreme court in The Ladies'
Home Journal. "When the constitutional
organization of the court had been settled
and the high duty Of selecting the justices
had been performed by Washington" he
says, "the smaller but not wholly unim-
portant question of a court dress loomed
up and much agitated and divided the
minds Of our public men. Shall the jus.
tices wear gownR And, II yen, the gown Of
the scholar, Of the Roman senator or Of
the priesta Shall they wear the wig Of the
English judges Jefferson and Hamilton,
who had differed 90 widely In their views
az to the frame of tho constitution, were
again in opposition upon these questions
relating 10 millinery and hairdressing.
Jefferson was against any needless on
cial apparel, but, X the gown was to carry,
he said, For heavens sake discard the
monstrous wig which makes the English
judges look like rats peeping through
bunches Of oakum. Hamilton was for the
English wig with the English gown. Burr
was for the English gown, but against the
inverted woolsack termed q wig. Tn.
English gown was taken and the wig left.

gown still worn by the justioess helps to
preserve in the courtrccSo that dignity AM:
