DIDN'T RAID EN-.
.Police Plan to Catch Gamblers Proves a
Failure.

Roltce Plan to Catch Gamblers Proves a
Failure.
Gti reported that the police of the
city planned a raid ON a number of
gambling games last Saturday night,
but the thing did not get any farther
than the plan, as the gamblers we're
entiUely too smooth. A we'll known
man about che town was secured as an
assistant, but his knowledge of the
wa rs of the wicked was entirely too
small to make him a successful q fly
cor. 0n8About 9 O'Clock he strolled into
she. saloon in connection with one of
the we'll known games, and boldly
stated hiss intention of hazarding few
good plunks~ on the green cloth.
The saloon men saw through the game
at once and the fellow was promptly
turned down. The hint was promptly
taken, all bets were off and the banker
and the rest of the gamblers gathered
uD their sheekels and when the police
arrived they found the men out on the
sidewalk, enjoying quiet smoke. The
usual bluff was made, but it was not
followed by any arrests.

WHO rs THE CRIMINAL.
Mrs. Mary E. Teats Speaks on and Impor-
tant Question.

A large number of persons gathered
in the Park Avenue NJ. E. church last
evening to hear Mrs Mary E. Teats of
California, National Evangelist of the
w. G. T. U social purity department..
Mrs. Teats gave a review Of some of
be work and its results, in this one of

work, then gave short account of the
great work thoW. G T. y. not of this
country alone, but of the world, are
doing after which she proceeded to her
subject for the evening.
Who is the criminal. She handled
her subject in mastery manner.
She stated that not all who are be-
hind the bars are alone responsible for
the crimes they have committed, for a
large percentage of their crimes were
committed when the perpetratOr was
undel the influence of Intoxicating
liquors and that every one who had
made that crime possible, whether by
manufacture, sale or by the legalizlng
vote, shared in that criminals.
She pleaded for purer standard OF
morals, standard as white and pure
and holy for the one sex as the other and
cited the fact that there was one country
in the world, 8. 9. Iceland where it is
the proud boast of its wOmanhOod, that
+" We demand as pure a life of our men
as we do of ourselves and we get it.
At the close of the meeting a canvass
was made of the audience to find those
who wished to identify themselves with
the society in their midst which is
working for these results and nearly
thirty names were added to the mem
bership of the local w. C. T. q.

He Accepts a Call to the Church of the
Advent in Louisville, KY.
Rev. A. W. Griffin, who has been
connected with Kemper Hall, as rector
for the past three years, has accepted a
call from the church of the Advent, in
Louisville, and will leave KenOsha on
Thursday.
In going to his new field Rev. Griffin
taEss with him the we'll wishes of a
large circle of friends, not only at KEN
per Hall, but among the residents OF
the city.
Rev. Griffin came to Kemper Hall in
the summer of 1895, and his devoted
consecrated life and work soon won for
him the admiration and respect Of all
the students and faculty of the school.
Rev. Griffin brought to his work at
Kenosha youth and activity, and filed
his very difficult position in way that
it had seldom been filled before. The
refining rector was scholar and a
christian gentleman, and to these
traits his work at Kemper hall owes
dts success.
The new field to which Rev Griffin
has accepted a call, is one of the most
promising EpiseOpalian parishes in the
south, and the church is exceedingly
fortunate in securing the services OF
Rev. Griffin.

ANOTHER BURGLARY
COL. ]. j. HOYT'S HOUSE IS EN-
TERED SUNDAY EVENING.
VALUABLE JEwELRY STOLEN
Unknown Persons Make an Entrance to
the House by Breaking the Heavy
Glass in the Front Door-Loss
Estimated at $500.

Another burglary has been added to
the long list of crimes committed in
Kenosha during the past few months,
and in comparison with the booty Sc
cured in this last burglary the little
lpilferings of former burglaries are very
insignificant.
On Sunday evening, somewhere be-
tween 6:15 and $50, burglars broke
into the residence of Col. J. j. Hoyt
andcarried away jewelry and Valuables
valued at over $400. The robbery YVES
most daring one, as the residence OF
| Col. HOyt is situated on Park avenue
in one of the most conspicuous spots in
the city, and although it was very early
in the evening and pedestrians were
passing the house continually no one
has been found who heard the burglars
making an entrance into the house,
At the time of the robbery no one was
at home, as Mr.. and Mrs. Hoyt had
gone out to spend the evening. Re-
turning at about $50 they found the
house in confusion. The front door
leading to the entrance was closed,
but on opening it was found that the
| large plate glass in the door leading
into the house proper had been smashed
and in this manner the door had been
opened, The robbers had evidently
been in great hurry, as furniture and
valuables had been thrown all over the
rooms in the search for money and
Jewels. The front hall bedroom occu-
pied by Mr.. and Mrs. HOyt, seemed to
have been the place the robbers were
seeking and they surely reaped a
fortune Here they secured a large
quantity of rich plWnder in the way of
jewelry belonging to the residents OF
the house. Shortly after they visited
the bedroom they must have been dis
turbed ia their work, as the family
plate and other v&luables in other parts
of the hOQse were left untouched.
Col. Hoyt Wasseen this morning, but
could give only an estimate of the loss.
He said that it consisted of jewelry,
among which were several small dia
monds. He valued the things taken at
between $500 and :$400.
The case wasaat once reported to the
police and all the outgoing trains
were carefully watched in order
| that the man who committed the act
might rot escape. However, there is
no clue TO the robbers, but it seems to
be the general opinion that it was the
work of home talent They must have
been aware of the fact that the family
were away fron home, as we'll as the
fact that the valuable jewelry could be
found in Mr.. and Mrs. Hoyt's boudoir.
No suspicious persons have left the
city, and the officers yet hope to land
the offenders behind the bars. Cards
announcing the burglary were sent to
all the surrounding towns, and the
police hope in this way to prevent the
escape of the men. The cards an
neunee that the booty obtained CEN
sisted OF twelve dollars in money, a
revolver, number of gold pens and
several pieces of valuable jewelry.

Mounted Police Getting Ready
to Go to the Yukon.
SQUADDLE OVER DUTIES THE CAUSE.
IL Is Claimed Americans Are Trying to
Import Provisions Free OF Imposts
Under the Plea That They Are
For the Relief OF Miners.

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. IA special
30 The Tribune from Butte, Mon, says:
Information received from Lethbridge,
on the Canadian boundary, is to the
effect that great excitement has been
caused there by orders received from
the Dominion goYernment that every
man Of the moanted police holds him
self in readiness to proceed TO the Yu-
kon at a moments notice for temporary
duty. Superintendent Dean has re-
ceived notice to go to Mcleod to relieve
Major Steele who was ordered to the
Yukon and had left for that place before
the arrival of the second message. Five
men We're also ordered to the Yukon
and left Saturday.
The orders, which were received By
wire by the officers in command of the
division. are said to be due to the ex-
tstence of serious trouble between the
Canadian and the United States au-
thor1ties in Alaska relative to the at
tempt by the Americans TO get provi-
sions into the Yukon free Of duty, os-
tensibly for the relief of the distressed,
but in reality for sale to the highest
bidders.

THE PLOWMAN CASE.
House to Consider Alabama
Election Contest.
SENATE TO DISCUSS INDIAN BILL.
VIII Also Most Probably Devote It's Time
to Debating the Hawaiian Treaty
and the Corbett Afair Dur
ing the Week.

WASHINGTON. Feb. TIT Is proba-
bic that the programme of the house,
which has been confined almost exclu-
Rively this session to the consideration
OF appropriation bills, win be varied
this week by tha consideration Of a
contested election case. II IS the pur-
pose of the house leaders to keep the
appropriation bills TO the front ia or
der TO obtain an early adjournment or
as the alternative, throw the response
bility OF delay on the senate. But after
the fortihcations bill is disposed Of only
one other appropriation bill Is on the
calendar for the present-the Military
academy-and It should not consume
more than a few hours.
II is the intention of tho leaders,
therefore, to fill the hiatus this week
with the consideration Of the Aldrich-
Plowman contested election case from
the Fourth Alabama district. The cleo
tlons committee has divided on this
case on party lines, and the Indications
are, therefore, that the house VIII do
the same thing, and Mr.. Plowman Will
be unseated.
The members on both sides OF the
house have been using the latitude al
lowed In debate on appropriation bills
20 make campaign speeches 10 be used
more or less extensively In the impend-
ing congressional campaign this fall,
and these are likely TO continue in
definitely.
All the members are keenly alive TO
opportunities TO make political capital
for themselves or their party, and the
fact may at any time upset prearranged
programmes by plunging the house into
rancorous and acrimonious political dis
cussion. The Democrats and Popullsts
seem 10 be directing their assaults prin-
cipally against the Republican claim
that prosperity has returned 10 the
country, so that all evidence on this
point, pro or con. IS likely TO find It's
way sooner or later into The Congress
sional Record for distribution this fall.
