RUN BY RECEIVERS.
FUTURE OF BIG SIEG FACTORY
NOW DECIDED.
WORKS ARE STARTED AGAIN
And the Number of Men Will Be Increased
as Fast as the Business Will Per-
mit-In the Field for
Orders.

The immediate future of the Sieg
Manufacturing company, which has
been hanging in the balance held by
the creditors for the past three months,
was decided last Tuesday and today it
was officially announced that the works
will be operated under the control of
the present receivers, Mr.. Elmer Week
and Attorney Peter Fisher. This much
has been given out, but nothing in re-
gard to the way in which the decision
had been reached is stated. 1t was
the desire of many of the creditors to
turn the works back into the hands of
Mr.. Sieg, but some of the creditors
opposed any such action and it was
decided to leave it under a receiver
ship. An effort was then made to
make Mr. Sieg receiver, but this also
failed and the creditors decided to
leave it as 1t is until the Indebtedness
is paid off Mr.. Sieg will undoubtedly
be properly cared for and will be given
a high place in connection with the
management Of the works. The plant
opened for business at once when the
decision of the creditors las announced
and the men now idle will be put 10
work as soon as the orders will demal d
their services The works have never
been closed down entirely and some
men have been kept steadily employed
working on the old 1898 models and
cleaning up all stock on hand.
Receiver Week, in speaking of the
matter today, said that the full force of
men would be put to work as soon as
orders enough were secured.
The company are entering the COM
petition late in the season and already
many large orders have undoubtedly
been placed, but the reputation of
their goods will surely bring them many
large orders later in the season. The
citizens will be glad to know that the
works are again in operation, and all
feel assured that under the manage
ment of the present receivers the plant
will soon be fixed on firm financial
basis.

ED. LANES NARROW ESCAPE.
Terrible Wreck on the Northwestern Re-
suits in Loss of Life and Property.

A wreck occurred on the Chicago &
North Western Railroad near Cudahy
Wednesday night which resulted in the
killing of T. Duckwall, a fireman on
the passenger train which passes this
city at l1:40 p. M, and property loss
of nearly $50, 900 to the company. A
special north bound freight train had
just passed Cudahy, when it left the
track and all efforts were made to
again place it on the rails. When this
proved unsuccessful a fagman was
sent back to warn the approaching
passenger train. This train was in
charge of Engineer Edward Lane of
this city, and failing to see or to heed
the warning flags and block signals the
train dashed madly on and into the
derailed freight cars. A terrible col
lision occurred and the rear cars of the
freight train and the engine, baggage
and mail cars of the passenger train
were piled in a mass in the midst of the
track and AL traffic was delayed for
several hours. Engineer Lane saw the
great danger and in some miraculous
way managed to escape uninjured from
the carriage of the i'll fated engine.
The fireman was not so fortunate and
was buried under great mass OF
debris from the wreck. In a moment
the entire pile was on fire and it was
with great effort that the passenger
cars were saved from burning, and the
mail coach together with the engine
and baggage cars were completely de
stroyed The body of Fireman
Duckwall, buried under the mass,
was burned into a charred and black
ened condition, which made it impossi
BILE for Identification. The property
loss to the company will be very large,
as not only cars were lost. but it is
stated in unofficial sources that one of
the mail sacks burned contained over
$4,000. By heroic efforts small por-
ton of the mail was saved.
The blame for the accident cannot be
definitely placed at this time, but it
looks very queer that such an accident
should occur with a fagman at mile
from the scene of the wreck and all the
signals warning the passenger train of
danger. Many Kenosha passengers
were on the train, and while some were
badly shook up no serious injuries have
been reported besides the death of the
fireman.

RICHARD THE LII.
PROF. MOULTON LECTURES ON
SHAKESPEARE.
LARGE CROWD ATTENDS
The Play of Richard the Third is Taken
up as Study in Retribution.-
Other Lectures to Follow
During the winter

The first of the series of Shakespear-
ian lectures given by Prof. Moulton
under the auspices of the Woman's
club occurred at Central Music Hall
Thursday evening. The very general
interest felt in the course was manifest
by the unusually large number in at
tendance. It's question which was
most effective, the subject of the eve
ning's discourse, which is of world wide
repute, or the famed and scholarly
gentleman who presented it. 1t was
probably their combined influence, for
once having heard Prof. Moulton one
can thereafter scarcely separate him
from the great bard of Avon, " from
whose songs be draws such profusion
of poetry and philosophy. The sub
jects to be dealt upon during the course
are, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, King Lear
and Romeo and Juliet, the one under
discussion last evening being the
tragedy of " Richard Ill"
Notwithstanding that Richard Ill is
and long has been. both on the stage
and in the library, one of the most
popular, if not the most popular, of
Shakespeare's works, it is safe to say
that there was not one, hoWsoever
deeply read in the subject, listening to
Prof. MOulton, who did not find fund
of rich significance ia the old time worn
lines of the play when touched by the
magic spell of Mr.. Moulton's suggestion.
The speaker opened his subject with a
definition of nemesis, the element
analysed in the play of Richard Ill.
Nemesis. or retribution, touched with
out beauty is very finely represented in
the manner in which poetic justice is in
due time melted out to all the characters
in the drama. The idealic element
necessary to make the nemesis COM
plete is very conspicuous throughout
play. Richards villiany is ideal. 1t
is ideal in quantity, in quality and in
success. Here the speaker surprised
his audience by saying that Richards
villiany was also purposeless. Unlike
Edmund who sinned to avenge his own
disgrace; Iago, whose malice was
aroused and directed against one who
he supposed had harmed him, or Mac
beth, whose eyes we're dazzled by a
crown. Richards villiany was that of
a monster nature the counterpart of a
deformed body. The speaker first
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1898-10-13

pointed out the existence of chain of
retribution. Clarence, who had COM
mitted murder. fell himself by the
assassin's hand; Hastings, while exult-
ing in another's fall himself fell; Buck
ingham, Richards brother in villiany,
died by the hand whose murders he
had aided So on through the play, all
meet a just retribution, except the
little princes in the tower, whose inno-
cent lives are sacrificed to secure an
others chastisemenr. But besides the
chain of retribution there appears
throughout the play pendulum of
retribution. The Duchess and Queen
Margaret, the one representing the
House Of Lancaster and the other the
House of York, bear evidence to the
fact that retribution is falling upon the
latter because of harm done the former,
and the former are themselves suffering
because of wrong done the latter and
SO on until the pendulum swings out of
the play and vanishes in the vista of
history. Finally the complete nemesis
was reached in the retribution of Rich
ard himself. This comes while the
man is sleeping. While the mighty
will and intellect with which this
sublime william has sought to conquer
God himself are dormant Richard
awakens to his fate. The CHESTS of
those he has slain appear to curse him
and as if presaglDg the events of the
manner leave him with their curses to
go to Richmond with their blessings.
For moment before be fully wakes
and that indOmitable will reasserts it
self Richard lives in he'll. Even when
fully reused the effects of this terrible
experience remains with him and he
goes into the battle conscious of APP
preaching doom. Little by little his
hold has been loosening. From the
first mention of Dorset's flight to Rich
mond Richard has been torn by hope
and despair until at last the emp of his
retribution is drained to the dregs Oh
the Bosewick's field.
Owing to pressing engagement
Prof. Moulton could not remain to dis
cuss the lecture last evening and this
very interesting part of the course will
begin with the next discourse. Mr..
Moulton is man of rare ability and
learning. None should fail to avail
themselves of this splendid opportun-
ity of hearing him.

Lafayette Day.

Schools will Aid in the Celebration of
Lafayette Day.
The first regular meeting of the
teachers of the city schools was held at
the High school building this morning,
and it proved very interesting one.
All the city teachers but two were
present, and responded to the roll call
with quotations along educational
lines. Supt. Mcdowell was present
and made a short talk to the teachers
on the subject on enunciation in read
ing and speaking. He also spoke on
the subject of the La Fayette monu-
ment, and the schools of Kenosha will
ask the children to give an average of
two cents each to raise fitting memo
rial to the young Frenchman who gave
the best days of his life for the cause
of independence and liberty.
Miss Heating read chapter from
Patrick's Pedagogy, which was discus
sed by the teachers in an interesting
and instructive manner. Mrs. Miller,
the special teacher of music and draw,
ing, made her first appearance before
the teachers in very we'll prepared
paper on the work in music and draw
ing. From the paper it was CLEANED
that Mrs. Miller is believer in modern
methods, and her work promises to be
very successful.
The usual naturegwork was taken up
and discussed, and the program closed
with an interesting exercise in factor
ing by Miss Erickson.

DEATH.

On Thursday, Oct. "a, 1898, Ben Co.
law, of Rest, died.
Mr.. Colaw was one of the best known
and most highly respected farmers t
Wilson county. He was an old citi-
zen, a man of fine commanding APP
pearance and genial, pleasant nature.
He was prosperous and successful
farmer, and an all-round, irst-class
citizen.
He will be sadly missed in his own
home and by the family fireside, as
we'll as by the community at large
MIR. Colaw had been sick for a long
time and his death was not unexpect'
ed. All that medical skill and care.
full nursing could do for him was done,
but all to no avail except to make his
last days on earth as pleasant as pos
sible.
1t will be a long time before another
will be found who can take the place
of Ben Colaw in the hearts of his
neighbors and friends.

BODY FOUND.

On last Sunday morning while the
bridge gang were at work on the San
ia Fe Railroad bridge across the river
north of town, they discovered the
badly descO.lposed remains OF man
lying in the brush on the river bank,
near the bridge. AS to how long the
body laid there no one can tell, but
from it's present condition it must
have been there for some months.
From the position in which the
body laid it would seem the man had
craWled in among the under brush
and laid down naturally on his right
side with his right arm under his head
his left leg thrown across the other
and in that position died.
He was an old man bald headed.
What hair remained was gray, he wore
blue wool shirt with white buttons,
light cotton pants, wool socks, low
buckle shoes and straw hat. Moth
ing was found in his pockets but a
large pipe and bottle near the body
containing small amount OF what
seemed to be alcohol.
Constable Groom was notified OF the
finding Of the body, he notified Justice
OF the peace j, L Orr by whom jury
was impaneled and the body and sur
roundings examined but they could
reach no conclusion as to who The
man was, and how he came to his
death.
The remains are now in the hands
of Constable f. NJ. Groom who will
hold them a reasonable length OF time
for naturalization.
Alone and I'm attended in the silen-
ce and solitude of this isolated place,
some soul broke its earthly shackels
and took it flight to another
relm. Who could it have been? Prob
ably no one knows and likely never
will.
Once these gruSome remains were
full of life and animation. Once some
fond and loving mother dandled on
her knee a laughing rolicing boy, look
ed into his innocent eyes, kissed low
insly his young lips, and predicted
great things for his future lite, wealth
renown and an imperishable name.
Here is the end of it all. The boy
grown to manhoods estate, has made
his fight, and soothed by no loving
hand. but alone on the river bank he
laid down TO die.
Name, fame and fortune may have
been his at one time, but there was
nc cheering word for him when the
last moment came. and unless the re-
mains are soon identified, they will
be buried in the potter's field and the
il G. dent cloSt d.
Thus ends frequently the brightest
dreams of youth and the fondest hop
es of parentage. Simply another rip
ple stilled in the great ocean Of life
and the waves roll on as before.
