SHOT BY A BURGLAR.
JOSEPH GROVE, OF PLEASANT
PRAIRIE, HAS AN ACCIDENT.
WAS UNCONSCIOUS FOR HOURS
The offender Was Burglar Who Was
Attempting to Rob the Milk House
Supposed to be Former Employe-
Mr.. Grove Will Recover,

Pleasant Prairie had another taste of
excitement Monday night when Joseph
Grove, a we'll known farmer and milk
dealer, was shot in the head by bur-
glar who was attempting to rob the
milk house on the premises. Although
unconscious for several hours, the il
jured farmer is on the high road to re-
covery and will experience little trouble
from what appeared at the time to be
fatal accident. The citizens of the
little village are greatly wrought up
over the affair and it will go hard for
the perpetrator of the crime if he is
captured.
The affair happened about 8 o'clock
Monday evening. Mr. Grove and his
wife were alone at their home, which
is.gnear DeXter's Corners. About 9
o'clock the old gentleman thought he
heard noise in the milk house, and as
he had been considerably bothered by
milk thieves in the past month, he
decided to investigate the case. TAX
irg shot gun he put on his hat and
went out in the yard and approached
the milk house. When he reached one
of the outer buildings he observed that
the milk house door was open. He had
only proceeded a few steps when he
heard the report of a revolver and fell
to the ground unconscious. His wife
heard the shot and rushed QUO of the
house and stumbled over the uncon
sciOus man; at the same time she saw a
man run out of the milk house and
hurry down the road. The old man
was found to be bleeding profusely from
wound from revolver ball in the
center of his forehead. The wife car,
ried her husband in the house and after
two hours work succeeded in resusci-
tating him and the neighbors were
summoned. The wound was found to
be only bad flesh wound and the bull
let had been turned aside by the skull.
Search for the man who fired the shot
was begun at once, but he had made
we'll his escape and could rot be found.
Mr.. Grove says that he saw the fellow
and recognized him and that he was
formerly employed at the house.
The same fellow only d short time
ago stole a bicycle from the farm house
and proceeded to Chicago, where he
was accused of cashing forged check,
However, the officers had not been able
to locate him and he had escaped pun
ishment. The case has been reported
to the Sheriff and every effort will be
made to put the fellow behind the bars

A Good Sized Kick,

Quite number of the business men
along Main street are making great
howl because one of the we'll known
saloons in the business portion of the
city has kept open all night for several
nights in direct violation of the law.
No reason can be given for such action
unless reform has been allowed to die
out completely. Such action is not fair
to the other saloon men and some ac-
ton should be taken by the police to
cause the laws to be respected.

WILL CARRY WAR TO SPAIN.
Sampson to Command Fleet and Wat

Sampson to Command Fleet and Wat
son to Re-enfor Dewey.
Washington, Aug. lot has been
pretty definitely settled, If not entire
ly so, that several big ships will go
to Manila to re-enforce Admiral Dewey
and to allow the withdrawal of some
Of the vessels of his command, which
are very much in need of docking.
The understanding is that some ships
will go to the Philippines by way Of
the Suez canal, no matter what is the
outcome Of the peace situation, but a
larger naval force will proceed to
Spain to destroy Camara's fleet If the
Spanish answer necessitates a sever
ance of the present dealings with the
OF the French ambassador.
1t Is intended to maintain commo-
dore Watson's Eastern squadron as it
is now composed. This is the force
that will join Dewey in front of Ma
Mia, If peace commissioners are ap-
pointed, to remain there pending a set
Element of the disposition of the Phil
ippine question.
Information that came out Tuesday
confirms the understanding that Ad-
miral Sampson will command the fleet
that will undoubtedly be sent out to
remove the last vestige of Spanish
naval strength from the seas if active
hostilities are resumed. The purpose
of the government to hold on to the
Philippines is indicated in the decision
to augment Dewey with Watson's
squadron in any contingency.

are trying to do.


Late last evening James Pease and
another gentleman from the town of
Salem brought to this city Mary LANCE,
woman who was apparently insane.
The woman was left at the Jail during
the night and this morning she was
identified as an inmate of the Racine
asylum for the insane. The officials of
the hospital called this morning
and returned with her to that
city. The woman left the asylum last
Saturday and wandered on foot all the
way to Salem, where she was found on
Tuesday afternoon. The woman acted
very queerly, and the residents of the
town were considerably frightened by
her queer antics. Finally it was de-
cided to capture her, but she ran away
into corn field. An exciting chase
followed, and the woman was finally
caught and brought to this city. She
is hopelessly insane but harmless.

WASHINGTON HEARS OF THE FIGHT
Astonishment at Course of AguinaIdo In

AstOnishment at Course of AguinaIdo In
Withholding Assistance.
Washington, Aug. 10.-At 9 o'clock
this morning the Spanish war situation
promised to unfold many interesting
scenes during the day.
Press dispatches via Hong Kong told
of the battle between American SOL
diers and Spanish land forces at Man
liza and an American victory. The news
of a battle was not a surprise, but
officials were astonished to learn that
Aguinaldo, the bespangled and self
proclaimed ruler, and his native forces
had remained neutral. This is the
first plain intimation from the chief in
surgent that in the present warfare in
the Philippines Aguiraldo considers
himself entirely independent of the
belligerents.
At o'clock the departments were
quiet, and if official dispatches had
been received they were kept secret.
It was considered altogether probable
that the official news from Gen. Mer-
rift and Admiral Dewey was brought
to Hong Kong on the same boat which
carried the press dispatches and would
be deciphered and given out later,
probably after the cabinet had passed
mon it,

is now a foregone conclusion. The
opposition has failed in it's purpose.
The results of the Racine and Kenosha

established the good name of our

campaign stronger than ever. 1t has
given a modest man ample opportunity
to display his own record. Now the
people understand his worth in way
they never have before and do not in
tend to be hoodwinked by the petty
grievances of certain individuals into
deposing man who has already given
his district distinguished services and
is enabled by position and influence
to serve it in the future to the best
possible advantage.

1HE lnCra parry Struggle at present.
waging in Wisconsin had it's beginning
at Milwaukee in 1916, when Bob La
Toilette made bis initial bow before
the voters of the Badger state as a
bidder for gubernatorial honors. The
convention was the scene of a hard
fought contest between the two rival
candidates. La Toilette struggled
gamely, but his efforts were those of a
powerful but crude machine, while his
opponent was the unanimous choice of
the people and had at his back the old
time tried and true Republican party.
When the convention closed Edward
ScOfeld was the nominee. He was
later elected to the Governorship by
the largest majority ever accorded a
public officialin Wisconsin. From that
time until this the rivalry has steadily
grown more bitter. Since the first en-
actment of his public career Gov. SEQ
field has made every effort to wisely
and faithfully perform the duties of his
office and from that same moment the
La Toilette faction has been persistent
ly logging his footsteps in the malic-
ious hope of finding some vulnerable
spot in the Governors official armor.
The result is that the same fight will
be revived at Milwaukee on the 18th of
August and Governor Scofield will
bring to bear a splendid record and
unimpeachable character against the
workings Of a machine improved by
the adjustments of two years and
manipulated by the most clever of
political engineers.
Mr.. La Toilette introduces himself as
a reformer, whose avoWed purpose is
to come to the rescue of an over taxed,
monopoly ridden people by taxing I'M
taxed property, prohibiting corrupt
practices in campaigns and elections,
securing relief from trusts and prOhib-
iting the use of all railroad passes, and
telegraph and telephone franks by
public officials. Scofeld has stood and
stands today upon that same platform
but based upon the great fundamental
principles which everywhere character
ize the party he represents. His pur-
pose is to give the state an honest,
business like administration. His
enemies falsely affirm that he has
broken the pledges of his party on the
grounds of his vetoing certain bills
which were unconstitutionly passed.
The battle will be fought out again
in the state convention. What will be
the result continues to be matter of
conjecture. Should it come to an issue
between the La Toilette and Scofeld
forces it would be a finished fight and
in the mind of the writer there is no
doubt that the result would be favor
able to ScOfeld, with every prospect of
Republican legislature and Repub-
lican Senator, successor to Senator
John R. Mitchell
In any case it is the paramount duty
of the state Republicans to unite on
Scofield. There can be no compromise
between La Toilette and the Republi-
can party.-G. P Chicago
