A professor who has made study of
children says he has discovered why the
majority of people are right-handed.
Infants use both hands until they be-
gin to speak. The motor speech func-
ton controls the right side of the body
and the first right-handed motions are
expressive motions, tending to help out
speech. AS speech grows SO does right

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.
Chief of Police o'Hare Takes a Waukegan
Man on Serious Charge.

J. r. Blair, man apparently fifty
years of gre and claiming to be resi-
dent of Waukegan, was arrested last
eveniag by Chief of Police O'Hare on
charge of forgery. Blair struck the
city on Saturday evening and as he
was out of funds he decided to raise
some in a novel manner. In order to
do this he decided TO sign the name
of Joseph A. Pitts to an order for fifty
dollars. Early Sunday morning he
appeared at the saloon of Quigley &
Larrabee and presented the following
order:
Ouig1ey and Larrabec. Gents: J. E.
Blair, the holder of this note, has re-
ceived from Waukegan a draft of $50,
and as it is Sunday can't cash it but
he is good to that amount. AS favor
to me let him have what he may call
for and I will see that you have the
money tomorrow morning, the 18th.
Yours, etc, Joe A. Pitts.
AS the order was properly signed The
fellow had little trouble to secure
drinks and cash to the amount of sew
en- dollars. When Monday afternoon
came and the man failed to come
around with the money from the al
legged draft, Mr.. Quig1ey got suspicious
and an Investigation showed that his
suspicious were we'll founded The
matter was referred to the police yes
terday afternoon and they soon She
Ceeded in landing Blair behind the
bars. The fellow practically admitted
his guilt but stated that he was drunk
at the time. He had hearing before
Justice Slater this morning and it
seems from the development of the
hearing that the defendant is a little
mentally unbalanced. No disposition
has as yet been made Of the case but
the man will probably receive a small
fine on aycharge of obtaining money
under false pretenses.

ed last evening by officer Fe1dschau on
suspicion that he is connected with
burglary somewhere. At the time of
his arrest he was trying to sell a we'd
ding ring which the officers were very
much afraid had been pur1oined. When
the fellow was taken before the police
he stated that his home was at North
Milwaukee and that he had secured
the ring at road house between be-
tween Milwaukee and Waukesha. He
stated that he was eating at the road
house when he came upon the ring in
a can of mustard. The fellow is a
physical wreck and caused the officials
at the jail no end of trouble during
the time he was incarcerated. He will
be held for few days until the owner
of the ring can be found. In the mean
time the ring is in the hands of the
Chief of Police and the owner can
have it by proving the property.

SURPRISED HER HUSBAND.
Mrs. George Hennell Entertains in Honor
of Her Husbands Birthday.

One of the most pleasant parties
ever given on the North side was given
last Saturday evening at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Henne11, on

niversary of Mr.. Henne11's birth, and
in honor of the event his wife planned

was pretti1y decorated for the occasion
and when Mr.. Henne11 returned home
about o'clock in the evening he found
over a hundred of his relatives and
neighbors waiting to assist him in the
celebration of his natal day. The,
evening proved a most enjoyable one.
The early part of the evening was
spent in cards and conversation and at
eleven o'clock the guests were sum-
n1oned to the dining room where a
sumptuous supper was served. Fol-
lowing the supper the rooms were

MRS. MARY A. MARTIN DEAD.
Well Known Kenoeha Lady Passed Away at
Her Hoae on Park Avenue Saturday


The entsse community of Kenosha
vii be grieved to learn of the death of
Mrs. Mary A. Martin, wife of the late
Judge Martin, last Saturday morning.
at her residence on Park avenue. At
ter lingering illness she passed away
as peacefully as her whole life had
been lived, with only those about her
whom she loved so we'll.
Mrs. Martin was born at Cabot, VT,
Sept. 9, 1880. She came to Kenosha
with Father Deming, her step-father,
in 1886, and shared with him his early
experience. In 1852 she was married
TO the 1a-e Judge Martin, whose mem
Dry is still so dear to those who knew
him. No household in Kenosha
opened more hospitab1e doors than
theirs. Equally imbued with a love
of learning, though maybe in compile
mentary channels, their home had an
atmosphere rare in a newly settled
country. But their lives were not
given up alone to purely literary pur-
suits. Together they were interested
in everything that concerned Kenosha.
Church and state alike called for their
united efforts. The poor knew them
as friends, as intelligent helpers,
while all found in them an incentive
TO a higher life.
Judge Martin died March 1, 1890, and
the cooperation SO faithfully carried
ont was severed. But Mrs. Martin wa S
not long in taking ZIP her work and
pursued it with renewed vigor, as one
who had double portion to do. Firm
in her principles, correct in her judg-
1nent, active in the prosecution of her
duties, she was a1eader in good works.
Enemies, she had none. All were her
friends and even those who served her
felt tha more indebted. With smile
and pleasant word for all, she moved
among all classes, knowing no di3tinc-
ton. Her place in the community will
be hard to fill. Her daughter and
husband, Mr.. and Mrs. Strong, will
receive the sympathy of all, as their
grief is as great as is their loss.
The funeral services were held at
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon.

KICKED BY A HORSE.
John Achen, of Pleasant Prairie, Suffers
Bad Injury Sunday.

John AChens, young man residing
in Pleasant Prairie, few miles west
of the city, met with a serious accident
early Sunday morning and grave fears
are felt in regard to his condition.
The accident occurred shortly after g
o'clock and up to 1850 last night he
had not recovered consciousness.
Early in the morning the young man
mounted spirited horse and started
from home to ride over to a neighbours
a few miles distant. He had only gone
a short distance when the horse became
frightened and young Achen was
thrown over the horses head into the
road. The horse then turned and
kicked him several times in the face.
Passersby discovered the injured man
and he was removed to his home in a
carriage and DIR. Eastman called to
attend him, who found him in an I'm
conscious condition. His face, where
the horses hoofs had struck, was beat
en- into pulp and the entire top Of the
head was one mass of bruises.
Theyoung man suffered intense pain
and seemed to be suffering from an
acute brain injury. The doctor re-
manned with him until late in the eve
ming, but was not able to discover the
extent Of the injury as he did not re-
gain consciousness. From an incom-
p1ete examination it appears that the
young man suffered a fracture of the
jaw and it is feared severe internal in
juries.
Achen is we'll known in this city and
his many friends will be grieved to
know that he met with so serious an
accident.

TROUT COME HIGH.
Henry Borkenhagen Pays Fine of S25 for
Illegal Fishing in Lake Michigan.


Henry Borkenhagen, proprietor of
the tug Engel, who was arrested last
Friday by assistant Game Warden
Frank Wilson, of Port Washington,
has made the discovery that Lake
Michigan trout are very expensive
luxury. He admitted when taken to
Port Washington, land before Justice
n. E. Wilson, that he was guilty of
catching two lake trout in Lake Michi-
gan. The justice fined him SIS and
costs of the action, which in ali am
mounted to $50.5O. The fine was paid
and Mr.. Borkenhagen returned to this
city on Saturday evening. The action
of the game warden in coming to this
city to arrest fishermen has been criti-
cised a great deal by the local oaicia1s
and some of them hold that Wilson
could not have compelled Borkenhagen
to go to Port Washington to answer
the charge which had been preferred
against him. The action of the ward
en- is said to.have been taken at the
demand of the, fishermen of Port
Washington. The Kenosha men will
continue to fish for herring notwith-
standing the arrest of Borkenhagen
and if Assistant Warden Wilson makes
another trip to this city he will proba-
bly, have little trouble in taking the
fishermen to Port Washington. If the,
fishermen of Kenosha county are to
be fined let them be fined at home and
let the revenue go to the county where
it belongs.

JOHN BURG WEEDS.
Well Known Postal Official is Quietly
Married to Miss Jessie Reid,
Formerly of This City.
MARRIED AT HAMMOND, IND

Fail to Announce Their Intentions to
Friends in the City and the Wedding of
Course is the Surprise of the Day-John
Milligan and Miss Anna Schaufel Are
the Principals in q Pretty Wedding at
st. Georges Church.
Wedding surprises are quite the
thing in Kenosha, but the street was
quite taken off it's feet this morning
when it was announced that John
Burg, son of Postmaster Ado1ph j.
Burg, and mailing clerk in the post
Office, was quietly married yesterday
afternoon at Hammond, Indiana, to
Miss Jessie Reid, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Archi11es Reid, of Chicago.
The announcement of the wedding
was made by Mr.. Burg this morning
and the rest of the day will probably be
spent in receiving the congratulations
of his many friends. John had not
given any of his friends any reason to
suspect that he was intending to enter
the race of the benediCts, and for this
reason the announcement of the nup-
tia1s comes like bolt from clear sky.
Yesterday morning he left KenOsha,
presumably for a short vacation in
Chicago, and when he reached the city
he was met by his intended bride, and
together they went to Hammond, where
a license was secured and in the after
noon in the little par1or of HammOnd's
famous marrying parson Miss Jessie
Reid became Mrs. John Burg. The
young people returned to Chicago last
evening and this morning Mr.. Burg
returned to Kenosha to make ready for
the bringing of the bride"
Mrs. Burg is well and favorably
known in Kenosha and her many
friends will be glad to welcome her on
her return TO the city. Mr.. and Mrs.
Burg will make their home IN this city
and will be at home to their friends
after the first of next month. This
paper adds it's congratulations and best
wishes for the future.
