JOHN B. KUPFER DEAD.
de Passed Quietly to the Great Beyond
This Morning.

Notwithstanding all had been done
for j. B. Kupfer that medical skill could
devise to restore him to accustomed
vigor that gentleman passed to the
great beyond at about 3 o'clock this
morning. The community was par
TALLY prepared for the announcement
of his death by the fact that his very
serious illness had been made known
by the papers Tuesday. Mr. Kupfer
had been subject to serious attacks be-
fore and it was hoped that he could
pull through this one as he had the
others. but his constitution proved un-
able to rally. The immediate cause of
his death was uremic poisoning, which
resulted from some serious kidney
difficulty.
John B. Kupfer was born March 10,
1888, in Wenken, Bavaria, and he
came to this country with his parents
in 1843. They settled at Toledo, o.,
but in 1914 removed to Milwaukee and
very soon after to a farm near Hart
ford, Wis. He came to Kenosha in
1850 and learned the baker trade with
Harvey Edgerton. He remained here
year and then returned to his home
going from there to Racine and Ihica-
go to work at his trade. He returned
to Kenosha in 1854 and went into bust
ness with Joseph Vale, working in the
same place which has ever since been
his place of business. In 1854 he mar
ried Miss Adelaide Bostetter, who pre-
ceded him to the other country only a
few months ago. Six children were the
result of this union, all of whom still
live. There are Charles A., baker in
Lincoln, H.; William and John c.,
partners Of their father; Harry, the
liveryman; Rose, wife OF E. j. English,
and Caroline, wife of W j. Dever, of
Milwaukee.
In 1865 Mr.. Kupfer removed to his
fathers farm, where he remained four
four years, returning in 1859, purchas-
ing a baker shop, which was burned
the year later. He had no insurance,
but the citizens made up purse of
5000 for the sufferers of that fire and
Mr.. Kupfer got $50 Of that. With this
he rented store and began again. In
1862 he bought out Mr. Vale and built
the business up SO that it became a
very profitable one. In 1885 he ad-
mitted two of his sons to partnership
and in 1888 the Kupfer Cracker COM
pany was organized and under that
name the business has been conducted
since
Mr.. Kupfer has served as alderman
two or three terms and has been Il
member of the county board Of super
visors seven or eight years. lie has
also been mayor Of the city. In poll
tics Mr.. Kupfer was almost always II
democrat. During the last campaign
he supported the gold democratic ma
tional ticket. He has always been d
popular and successful business man
and is mourned today by host of
| friends.

Deacon" Dodge's Charge Changed to
Striking An Officer

The case of the State Of Wisconsin
VS.. Frank Dodge, otherwise known as
Deacon" in which the defendant
stood charged with resisting an officer,
came before Justice Slater this morning
for preliminary hearing. District
Attorney Buckmaster had determined
upon changing the charge from that Of
" resisting" to striking an officer. This
took the case out of circuit court and
gave Justice Slater Jurisdiction of it.
Under this charge Dodge plead guilty
and was fined $50 and costs, making a
total of $25. Friends at once took the
matter in hand and began scurEying
around to raise the money with which
to pay the fine. In the meantime
Dodge is resting quietly at the jail
awaiting developments as he has done
the past week.

DON'T OBSCURE THE ISSUE.
The Actual Point in the Dutton Argument
Is Thrust Aside.

Papers which are discussing the
Dutton incident should remember that
lis paper has not conducted any cam
~;aign against that gentleman's argu~
ments. What we did say was that Mr..
Dutton had no right to do the kicking
because he had been the guest of the
Old Settlers club. Whether Mr.. Dut-
toms arguments are right or wrong is
an entirely different thing. Perhaps
Mr.. Dutton can see what kind of a
light he is in if he will stop and think
how he would feel toward any one who
had been a guest in his family and who
then rushed into print to publicly
criticise his family relations. There is
all the point there is to this argument

HIGH OLD TIMES AT UNITY
1t Is Neither Good Nor Pleasant for
Brethren TO Dwell There

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 25.-The camp Of
negro railroad laborers at Unity, near
the striking miners camp at Plum
Creek, which has a record for lawless-
ness unequaled in this state, is TO be
broken up. Du ng the past month
there have been several murders and a
score or more shooting scrapes al the
camp. in which many Of the negroes were
injured. Last night three men were
shot and on Sunday one man was killed
and four dangerously wounded.
Yesterday was pay day az the tunnel
and 1t also marked the arrival Of 100 col
ored women Of the worst character at
the negro camp. With the advent of
these women and lots Of bad liquor all
records for lawlessness and disorder at
the camp were broken and the widest
excitement ensued. So bad has the sit
uation now become that even the rail
road officials on the work are afraid TO
enter the camp. Tomorrow ne company
will march a strong guard of heavily
armed men into the camps and drive ou-
AL the women and gamblers at the muz-
zles OF Winchesters. This done, a dead
line viii be drawn about the camp and
they will not be permitted - return.
The whole neighborhood at Unity is in
a state Of terrorism
The farmers dare not walk the roads
unless heavily armed and then only by
cwos and thTees.

Fort Jamaud, at the mouth Of the pass.
Fort Jamaur is held by strong force OF
British and naval troops, and the British
front extends about fifty-five miles from
Shakabdar. along the north side OF the
Abul River and southwark TO Peshawar,
where the troops are massing as the base
of a demonstration against the Oraka-
zais, who occupy the region south OF the
Afridis, but have MOI yet assumed the
belligerent proportions Of their neigh
bors. There is an uprising, however. OF
small parties which is proving trouble
some near Kohat, and it is thought both
tribes will try TO close the Kohat Pass.
The widest excitement prevails among
the Hindoo traders at Banu on kaarum
river. II is reported that 1000 Waziris
intend TO swoop down there, sack the
town and massacre the inhabitants. The
mullah and his missionaries, especially
from the Afghan governor Of Kost, are
actively stirring up the Waziris, who are
also affected by the disloyal attitude OF
the Kurram tribes and emboidened by
the knowledge that the garrison at aBnu
is very weak.
Somewhat more hopeful intelligence
comes from the Swat Valley, where the
Bonerwals have opened peace negoia-
tons. The authorities expect that this
Will have a good influence, especially If
il is followed by submission. II appears
thar the BonoerwaIs suffered far heavier
losses during the recent fighting than
had been supposed.

TROUBLE AT FEDERAL
Nine Owners Make Accusation of Incen.
diarism and Poisoning.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 25.-The power
house of the Federal Coal company, op-
Grated by z. w Powers, at Federal, Pa
on the Pitssburg, Charters and Youghio-
eheny railway, was destroyed by fire
shortly after midnight The flames
spread rapidly and great difficulty was
experienced in saving the tipple. The
loss IS So, 600.
There seems 70 be no doubt that the
fire Was ire wark of incendiaries, as
three men were seen running down the
road a few minutes before the flames
were discovered.
Since the strike was started Nh
Powers mas made himself unpopular
by threatening to import colored men TO
start the mines.
The Federal mines were operated by
machinery.
Striking miners are accused OF poison
fng the mules in Sterling mine No. s, at
Hastings, Pa. One mule has died, an
other is missing and four more are seri-
ously sick. The company is reported TO
have had the carcass Of the dead one ex-
amined, with the result of proving its
ceath due to poison. II is understood
that the mine will be closed down and
largest mines in Hastings and is the one
al which the men and Superintendent
Nichols have had so much trouble.

''Mr. Duboiso told you that when your

THE informa ton received from Cuba

fore her majesty and that has been trans
mitted to me by cable, shows. in my
opinion that a shameless conspiracy TO
promote the interest Of one or more SEN
sational papers is at the bottom of the
romance that has touched your good
heart.
The facts show that Miss Evangeline
Cosscio Cisneros lured to her house the
military commander of the Isle OF Pines,
and had men concealed in it, who tried
70 assassinate him in connection with an
uprising of prisoners on the island. For
that offense so far from being sondemn-
ed and being ready TO be transported to
a penal settlement in Africa, she has not
yet been tried; the public prosecutor has
not yet presented the case for the gov
eminent; he has not yet. as is a requisite
of our law, asked a sentence TO be i'm
posed on her, and the case is not yet
ready TO be finally disposed of.
These facts are very easy to prove
The American consul general, or any of
the foreign consuls in Cuba willing TO get
information, can convince themselves Of
the truth, and could have been applied
to by the papers which have started this
sensation if they had really been prompt
ed by a sentiment of humanity instead
of having been prompted by the desire
Of increasing their circulation by their
usual slanderous methods.
The absolute falsehood of the press
publications in relation TO concrete facts
related with the case, is not favorable,
certainly, to the exactitude OF the con-
siderations with which the innocence Of
