KENOSHA NOT ALONE.
Racine Citizens Are Crying Out Against
Police Neglig

The rottenness of the police force in
Kenosha seems to be duplicated in Ra-
cine. Some citizen became indignant
and writes the following letter:
so the bicycle ordinance must be
enforced without fear or favor but no
refenee or attempt is made on the part
of the Mayor to have the police enforce
other ordinances, the violation of which
is decidedly more obnoxious to the de-
cent element of the community than a
mere violation of the bicycle ordinance.
To be more explicit and so there will be
no misunderstanding, it is only neces-
sary to allude to the fact that house
Of i'll fame is run within hundred feet
of the city hall, minors are frequently
seen on the streets beastly intoxicated
and yet no effort is made to bring the
guilty parties to justice. What is
sauce for the goose ought to be sauce
for th8 gander. Why this discrimina-
ton? 1t will not do to claim ignorance
of the .,.ath of these statements. Now
that spasmodic feeling of virtue and
indignation has taken possession of His
Honor, let him show his consistency by
requiring the police to endorce all the
ordinances without fear or favor"
We here venture the assertion that
nothing of the kind will be done, and
that even the Mayors 2x4 organ will
remain as silent as tomb stone on this
subject, and which has been so per-
sistent in it's endeavor to have some
one arrested. A BICYCLE RIDER"

After Horse Thieves.

ne MAKES TdId1 b1unuer III LOOKING
After Horse Thieves.
The Racine Times correspondent
tells the following story:
Hon. James Pollock, ex-member of
the Illinois state legislature and a res
ident OF the village of Milburn, Lake
county, H., had occasion a few days
ago to make a business call in Keno
sha, on hot afternoon. He put up at
one of our pleasant little hotels, and
after seeing that his horse was duly
cared for after the hard 20-mile drive
the gentleman called on some of his
personal friends, and later on returned
to the hotel where he spent the even
ing. But the man Of the eagle eye
had spotted him, and as the unsuspect-
ing IllinOian, who by the way, does an
extensive business in Wadsworth on
the st. Paul railway, a few miles from
his home at Millburn, was preparing
to retire, the tall figure of stranger
showed up, who appeared to be
deeply interested in him. But this is
the way Mr.. Pollock tells the story
himself: " I stepped out of doors, and
the fellow followedZme. He acted
little queer. He looked dry and I
thought perhaps he wanted free
drink, but as | did not drink myself,
| seldom offer it to others. Finally
he came up to me and asked: "Do you
keep horse?" | replied that | was
the fortunate owner of a very good
animal of that sort. Where is it?"
In the barn back there. Why, what
do you want?" Have you fed the horse?
Well, no. I didn't feed it, but sup
pose the hostler did. | told him to-.
Who are you, anyhow, and what are
you after?" And then that long, thirsty
looking NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. me by
answering: 81 am Chief of Police and
[ am after horse thieves and stolen
horses" Fortunately for the peace of
mind of Mr.. POllOck's most excellent
family, the husband and father did
not go to the Kenosha lookup that
night, as he was able to produce
friends who could identify him. But
he got out of town bright and early the
next morning and just before leaving
was heard to ask what there was
about him that looked like horse
thief. He said he could consider the
affair good joke as long as his Wau-
kegan and other Lake county friends
didn't hear of it, but if ever they did,
the fun would all be off. The morning
after the occurrence Chief Barber was
asked for late news, but he told the
newspaper man there wasn't any.

The jolliest picnic party that ever
went out Of KenOsha was the one given
Sunday by the Retired Hook and Lad

pleasant family reunions are looked
forward to from year to year as one of

the rule and those who were so fortu-
nate as to be present. More than
forty were in the crowd that went out
to Hooker Lake in the two big band

day. The day was spent in fishing and
the children had jolly time playing
games under the trees. 1t was home

down to a dinner that was fit for king

ability of the wives of the old COM

Der of the light fingered gentry entered
his residence near Spring Bluff, and

GUNNERY PRACTICE.

Prevented n Fearful Disnstcr.
An officer of the United States navy
relates the following as illustrating some
of the perils of gunnery ut sea-
81 came very near going up into the
air in small bits ON this last squadron
cruise. We were at heavy .uysactice
at sea and hut for the quiclnJss of u
eunner's mate would never have re-
turned. AS you probably know, the
heavy guns in the turrets are fired by
electricity, the gun being discharged
simply by pressing button. The officer
in command of the forward turret on
our ship during rapid firing practice was
just about to press the button to fire one
of our big guns when gunner IS mate
was seen to grab ut something on the
wall of the turret and then fall i'm
heap ON the floor The officer pressed
the button, but the gun was not dis
charged. When the mate came to, he
was asked what had happened, and he
informed the officer that the breech Of
the gun had not been locked and that
what he grabbed at on the wall was the
wires forming the electric firing circuit
"When he saw that the officer was pre-
pairing to fire the gun and at the same
time observed that the breech of the
eun was not locked, the only thing that
occurred to him to prevent the gun be-
ing discharged was to destroy the cir
cult, which he did promptly and effect
lively. Nhtn all this occurred, there
was hGllo Of 250 pounds of powder
IN L.o gun, another charge of tho same
| tiYc IA the turret ready to be served, and
tic iassageway leading to the powder
magazine was wide open. But for the
quickness of the gunner = mate the gun
would have been blown out inside the
tuirot, the gases from the burning pow
der would probably have ignited the
charge lying in the turret, this explo-
sion weld lave ignited the powder In
the naEa2ine, and the chances are that
the whole ship, crew and all, would
have gone up in the air. A thought that
has occurred to me is this Suppose the
accident had occurred, what do you
imagine the verdict Of board of in.

TELLS A LONG STORY.
A Granite Monument mt Antietam Re-
calls n Family History.

calls y Family History.
Major Kingsbury had daughter as
we'll as the son who fell Mt Antietam.
The daughter married Simon Bolivar
BuclSner Of Kentucky some time before
the war. When General Buckner decided
to go with the Confedoracy, the danger
Of confiscation of his wife's interest in
the Chicago estate confronted him. A
family council resulted in the transfer Of
Mrs. Buckner's property to her brother.
Colonel Kingsbury fell in battle with
out leaving will to protect his sisters
inheritance When the war closed, the
return of Mrs Buckner's s interest In her
fathers estate was asked for in behalf
Of her children. Mrs. Kingsbury de-
clined to concede It, She claimed all
that had been left in her husbands
name for her son and herself. Litiga-
tion followed and dragged along for
years. Major Kingsbury' 40 acres were
in the heart Of Chicago when the fire
occurred.
In the years Immediately following
the war Washington had few women
more talked about than tho beautiful
widows, Mrs Becky Jones and Mrs
Kingsbury, the nieces of an ex-presi-
dent of the United States. Mrs. Kings
bury became the wife Of Gallatin Law
renee, son Of one of the wealthiest
manufacturers i'm Rhode Island. Gala
tin Lawrence had chosen a diplomatic
career. He was sent to Costa Rica as
minister. When he came back, society
at the capital had great sensation over
the talk of duel between Minister
Lawrence and Captain Won der Hass Of
the Belgian legation because of the cap
tain's attentions to the beautiful Mrs.
Lawrence The Belgian sailed for Eu-
rope. So did Mrs. Lawcnce. Gallatin
Lawrence followed. There was duel
and then divorce case. Won der Hass
went to Egypt. Mrs Lawrence went
there too Gallatin Lawrence returned
to the States.
The son Of Colonel Kingsbury was
sent to Oxford. His inheritance was cut
in two by decision restoring to her
heirs Mrs Buckner's share in the 40
acres. One day young Kingsbury came
home from Oxford, bringing a college
friend. Between the English student
and Mrs. Lawrence an attachment
quickly developed Mrs Lawrence was
twice the age Of her sons chum. She
married him and is, or was the last that
friends in this country learned, living
with him abroad. Kingsbury married O
Levantine, and he, too, is In foreign
country. The fortune acquired through
the Chicago investment has been much
reduced. Mrs. Becky Jones, after lonl
career in Washington, travelled exten
sively and settled in Canada, where she
is still living, by all accounts. This il
