SHE WAS DETERMINED.
TAe Terrible Warning Left SUBJ
scrfbeE by a Young Woman
d Book Agent.

A gentleman Of this city who has
not much time for reading, yet is
knd-hearted and particularly suscep-
tib1e to the pleadings Of the gentler
SER was recently approached by
lady who is acting as subscription
agent for new publication. When
tho subscription list was presented to
him the gentleman would have liked
to decline to purchase, as he did not
wish the volume, but the lady was
persistent and he was weak, and he
PUT down his name, hoping that for
tune would find for him some way out
OF the difficulty, says the Baltimore
News. &,
Later the lady called TO deliver the
book and to collect the money, but he
had contrived to be out. And every
time afterward when she appeared he
managed to be out, until finally her pa
fienee became exhausted and she left
for his perusal this note:
"By the relentless intervention of
the invisible hand Of Providence I have
been prevented from delivering your
book, but would not for moment
Eave you doubt the moveless stability
and fathomless profundity Of my de-
termination, for the fammeriferous,
monoculate autoerat OF day shall
cease to radiate the outrageous re-
cesses Of the forest, the translucent
queen Of night shall cease to peram-
bulate the diaphanous concavity Of
the cerulean heavens and the horison-
QUE clangor of the heavens artillery
shall cease to below forth its appeals
fin sulphurous, igenous fulgor before
my determination diminishes."

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.
GUTAVU FOREMAN ENDS HIS
TROUBLES BY SUICIDE.
BROWNS HIMSELF IN A WE'LL
He Had Been Brooding over Troubles
Until He Had Become Deranged and
Sought Death-Had Wandered
Away From Home

Shortly after o'clock Sunday even
ing Gus. Foreman, we'll known farmer
living in the town of Benton, took his
own life by drowning himself in we'll
on his farm. No special cause can be
assigned for the rash act unless it is
the fact that the man was temporarily
deranged. No financial troubles we're
staring him in the face and his family
and home life was known to be most
pleasant.
On last Friday he wandered away
from home and his family and relatives
made a diligent search for him, but
we're unable to find him. On Sunday
afternoon he returned home, but re-
fused to give an account of his where
abouts, simply stating that he had
been fishing. When he returned home
Sunday he seemed perfectly in his
right mind and seemed anxious to at
tend to all the work about the house
and barn. In the afternoon his brother
who lived a few miles from the house,
came over and spent the afternoon
with him and the two men spent the
entire time talking over business of the
farm. When 5 o'clock came his brother
started to return home and went up to
the house leaving the suicide in the
barn. After short time Mr.. Foreman
and his sister-in-law went out to the
barn to look for his brother, but moth
ing could be found of him. After
diligent search they found that two
planks of the covering of an old we'll at
the east side of the barn had been re-
moved and on looking into the we'll
they discovered the hat of the unfor-
tunate man floating on the surface of
the water. Assistance was at once
obtained and in a short time the body
was fished up from the we'll. Life was
already extinct and from all appear
ances the man had died without a
struggle. He was carried into the
house and the Lake county coroner
was summoned to hold an inquest over
the remains. No arrangements have
as yet been made for the funeral.
The deceased was one of the best
known farmers living along the State
line and had many friends in Kenosha.
The mental malady which prompted
him to take his life has been growing
on him for several years, and while he
has never been regarded as insane he
always was considered little de-
ranged. Some two years ago he dis
appeared from home and was absent
for several weeks and it was feared
that he had committed suicide. How
ever, he returned and went to his bust
ness again and the mental trouble had
not been apparent until short time
ago. He was A years of age and
leaves a wife and several children.

Had a Great Experience.

Joe Funck and Otto Scholler drove
out to the creamery at Paris on Monday
afternoon and thereby hangs a tale.
The boys had been gone over twelve
hours and their parents in this city
began to get worried over them. Even
ing came and the boys failed to return
and all along Main street fears were
expressed that the boys had met with
some accident, and even the police
were asked to look out for than.
About midnight, however, the boys
returned and explained the cause of
their delay from the fact that they had
a hot box on their carriage and were
forced to allow the horse to walk all
the way home.

HOLMES CASE SETTLED.
Valuable Real Estate Returned to it's
Rightful owner.

Late Monday afternoon a quit claim
deed for large tract of land known as
the John G. Holmes farm was placed
on record in the register of deeds
Office and the filing Of the deed makes
an end to a struggle for possession,
hich has lasted for over 20 years.
Many years ago John G. Holmes, q
well known citizen of the county, died
and left property valued at some
5000, to be divided between a son
and daughter. However the division
was not made on account of the fact
that the heirs at law were never able
to satisfy each other as to the manner
of division. Years passed and the son
and daughter moved to Mason City,
Iowa, and the son later received his
share Of the estate. His son grew to
manhood and conceived a great desire
for the property and finally went to his
amt, Mrs. Holmes Lee, and caused her
to sign warranty deed, conveying the
property to him. He obtained the
deed under the pretense that she was
granting to him a power of an attorney
for the purpose of making final settle
ment of the estate. However about a
month ago the aunt discovered the
mistake and action was at once begun
to secure possession Of the land. The
battle was a royal one between the
nephew and aunt, but when he was ar
rested on a charge of attempting to
defraud he agreed to give the quit
claim deed to the land which was reg
istered here Monday.

WILL OPPOSE THE ACTION.
st. Georges Congregation Object Very
Strongly to Removal of Fathers Drets.

For some time a storm has been
brewing on the north side among the
members of ST. Georges church on
account of the action of Archbishop
Katzer in attempting to remove Faith
ers Henry and Philip Dreis. The two
brothers. and especially Father Henry
Dreis, have so won the hearts of the
people under their charge that should
the bishop push his action be will
probably find the church in open re-
bellion to his mandates. When Father
Henry returned from the funeral of his
brother in Milwaukee last week he
found a letter already here ordering
him to at once vacate this charge and
take charge of a small church in Sank
county. This the priest positively re-
fused to do, and what is more to the
point he is backed up by all the trustees
aud members of the church and large
number of the citizens OF the city.
This afternoon four petitions were
started out among the members of the
church and if the archbishop removes
Father Henry he will do SO against the
wishes of every member of the church,
If the petitions of the people are dis
regarded more stringent measures will
be adopted and the trustees and priest
will appeal the case to the highest
councils of the church.
There are other reasons besides the
sentiments of the priest and his parish
toner's which demand that Father Dreis
remain. The members have begun
some extensive repairs on the church
and school building and if the present
LastOr is removed the work will be
disturbed and the parish rent in twain.
The action of the Archbishop is
anxiously awaited.

WHERE rs He?
Well Known Insurance Man Leaves the
City in Peculiar Manner


The creditors of we'll known insu-
rance man, who has for some time been
the agent of one of the old line COM
panies in this city, are very muchly
concerned as to his whereabouts, and
from all indications, like the Arab, he
has folded up his tents and left in the
silence of the night. For over two
weeks now he has not been seen at his
office and his landlord claims that he
left his house a week ago Monday
night without any notice, and leaving
two months rent in arrears without
any collateral to satisfy it. At other
points all over the city bills small and
large have been brought up against
the insurance agent with no one to pay
them. He is also accused of taking
away with him bicycle belonging o
Mrs. Grosvenor. He is said to be stop
ping at the Palmer House, in Chicago,
but the men looking for him have not
been able to find any trace of him.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Fred Joerndt Takes a Plunge Bath In
the Harbor.

Fred Joerndt, a drayman on the
north side, had narrow escape from
drowning on Monday evening. The
unfortunate man had been imbibing
and when he got as far as the Island
bridge he was almost too full for utter
ance. He attempted to walk down the
steps near the bridge at the fish shan
ties and fell head first into the waters
of the harbor. The man struggled
horribly and went down beneath the
Shiny water several times when he was
seen by some of the men who were
loafng around the tug Engel, who
rushed to his assistance, and soon
brought him safe to land. The man
was full of water and it was some time
before he was able to proceed home.
No serious injury resulted to the man
from his unexpected bath.

Bad Man From waukegan.

Bad Waukegan blood seems to have
very disgusting habit of coming to
Kenosha nearly every Sunday, and it
was in evidence IN this city Sunday.
George Nance, Waukegan man,
reached here early Sunday morning
and as soon as possible he began to lay
in good supply of bad liquor. Later
in the day he was in need of travel
ing companion and he happened to
meet Dennis Mcintyre, who just filled
the bill admirably. About seven
O'Clock last night the two were pretty
we'll filled up, and they went to the
Commercial hotel, presumably to find
fight. This holstery is usually able
to supply anything of this sort wanted,
and as soon as Nance and his cOmpan-
ion made known their wants free for
all fight occurred, in which chairs and
knives furnished the weapons. About
this time Chief of Police Barber
arrived and began to mix IN the
trouble. The fight, however, went
merrily on, and Nance drew a knife
and was about to finish his opponents
when one of them pulled up a chair
and succeeded in laying out the
Waukegan man in very satisfactory
manner to all concerned. Policeman
Barber at this juncture took charge of
Nance, Mcintyre and another man
Druikmire and marched them off to
Jail. The latter member of the trio
was soon released, as there was no evil
dence against him. Nance and
Mcintyre appeared before Justice
Slater this morning and were fined a
dollar and costs on a plea of guilty to
intoxication. Nance was pretty badly
injured as the chair struck him full in
the face, breaking his nose and SO
badly injuring his left eye that it is
feared he will loose the sight. The
man who threw the chair has not yet
been arrested.

IN POLICE CIRCLES.
HERMAN HASSE Is ARRESTED ON
A SERIOUS CHARGE.
BAD wAUKEGAN BLOOD HERE.
Hot Fight is Waged in Front Of the
Commercial Hotel in Which George
Nance, of Waukegan, is Badly In
jured-Other Police News.

Saturday evening Herman Hasse,
proprieto, of the Tenhagen house, a
we'll known lodging on North Main
street, was arrested and landed in jail
on a charge of forging an order for
small amount of money due to Charles
Primrose, a cOlored man, who had been
boarding at the Tenhagen house and
working at the North Western Wire
Mattress works. Hasse was brought
before Justice Slater and released en-
bail, the bond being fixed at $500
The story of the forgery is an inter-
esting one and comes out of an unpaid
board BILL Primrose had been boarding
at the Tenhagen for some time and
some days ago Hasse began to fear
that the chances for getting his money
we're very small and demanded that
Primrose give him some security. 1t
was finally arranged that another
man named Olestein, should act IN this
capacity. A short time ago Primrose
quit working at the factory and was
supposed to have gone to Milwaukee,
and as he had small sum Of money
coming to him he told his friend Ole
stein to collect it for him. When he
went away he left small board bill,
and Hasse is accused of forging an or
der to secure the money due the man
at the factory. The forged order had
both the names of Primrose and Ole
stein and made payable to the bearer.
This was when the trouble came and as
soon as Olestein discovered it he made
a complaint and had the innkeeper ar
rested at once. Hasse plead not guilty
but the Judge considered that there
was evidence against him to bind him
over.
The friends of Hasse are loathe to
believe that he has committed any in
tended crime and claim that whatever
he did was done through ignorance OF
the law.
