FAIR DIVORCE WEEDS
ANNA WERVE KUPFER MARRIED TO
ADOLPH REINHARD, OF LINCOLN.
MARRIAGE A GREAT SURPRISE
Mrs. Kupfer and Mr.. Reinhard Elope from
Lincoln, I'LL, and Were Married in
Milwaukee Last Sunday-Revives
Famous Divorce Suit.

The residents of Kenosha were
startled this morning and tongues of
gossippers were set wagging by the
| announcement that Mrs. Anna Werve
Kupfer, formerly wife of Charles Kup-
fer, of Lincoln, ILL.,, and the eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. M. Werve, of
this city, was married in Milwaukee on
last Sunday afternoon to Adolph
.Reinhard, we'll known business man
at Lincoln, Ill.
The announcement of the marriage
is as great surprise to the parents and
| immediate friends of Mrs. Kupfer as to
the city in general. They were alb
sOlutely ignorant of the affair, and
until the news was made known to
them on Monday afternoon they we're
of the opinion that Mrs. Kupfer was
enjoying pleasant visit with friends in
Lincoln.
About week ago Mrs. Kupfer went
to Lincoln and on Sunday the two de-
cided to unite their fortunes for life,
and leaving Lincoln on an early train
they reached Milwaukee on Sunday
afternoon and went at once to a min
lister and were married. On Monday
afternoon they started for Lincoln, Ill,
where they will make their future
home. En- route to Lincoln they
stopped off at Kenosha and announced
the details of their romantic wedding
to their parents and relatives.
The announcement of the marriage
has been leading topic of converse tiOn
among their friends and cannot but
revive the recent divorce suit in which
Mrs. Anna Werve Kupfer figured as
the fair defendant.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kupfer had lived in
Lincoln, H., before their marital
troubles we're brought before the eyes
of the people of Kenosha through the
medium OF the courts, and it is said
thaS Mrs. Kupfer first formed an at
tachment for the man to whom she
was married because he was great
friend of her first husband.
The divorce case furnished no end of
sensational evidence and the name OF
Adolph Reinhard was more than once
spoken of as the main trouble between
Mr.. and Mrs. Kupfer. and in the
answer which Mr.. Kupfer filed to the
divorce proceedings he named Mr..
Reinhardt as the man who had alien
ated his wife's affections. However,
the court refused to recognize his
claims and Mrs. Kupfer was granted a
divorce with an alimOn7 amounting to
So, $50, which was paid to her only
recently.
The marriage of Mrs. Kupfer and
Mr.. Reinhard is probably the closing
chapter in the romantic case which
has been of great interest to society
circles of Kenosha and Lincoln on
account of the prominence of the
parties concerned.

The End of the Century.

Since my last writing we have
passed through the holidays again,
and into the last year of the century. "
Thus runs a passage in a private let
ter recently received in this city. One
of the popular propositions regarding
the character of the Carnival to be held
in Milwaukee next summer, is that it's
central feature shall be a pageant rep
resenting the progress of the centuries.
But is the Nineteenth century so near
it's close? Is 1898 it's final year? There
has been some dispute on the subject in
the newspapers. Yet there is no room
for controversy if it be assumed that a
century comprises hundred years.
In that case the First century en-
braced the years A. D. to LOO, inclu-
sive; the Second century the years l0l
to 200, inclusive, and the Nineteenth
century, embracing the years from
1901 to 1900, inclusive, will not enter
upon it's final year till the 1st of Janu-
airy next. It would be not less illogical
to call December 81 New Years dav
than to call the year 1900 the begin
ming of the Twentieth century. Even
ing Wisconsin.
And when the resurrection morning
came the Wisconsin was jast one year
behind.

The proof of the pudding is in the
eating, and he who eats it is far better
able to judge than he who made it or
than he who insists that it was made of
wholesome ingredients. Let us apply
this principle to the " embalmed beef"
question and call on the soldiers who
ate the beef to testify whether it was
good or unwholesome. In this way we
might stop the recriminations of the
military authorities and settle the
question positively.

A KANSAS man has patented con-
trivance to prevent snoring. 1t is
based on the theory that snoring is
impossible when the mouth is closed.
By system of adjustable buckles and
a piece of cotton wadding the most in
veterate snorer can be cured. The
contrivance can be applied also to cry
ng babies, talking women and gar
rulous BARRIERS. Such contrivance
entities man to rank among the
benefactors of the century.

SENATOR CAFFERY, of Louisiana,
talked for two hours yesterday on the
subject of the Nicaragua canal, and
was concluding his speech, when a
member suggested that there was no
quorum, and an adjournment was
taken. What woeful waste of talk
ing! We suggest that in legislative
debates the first thing necessary is to
secure quorum, as in the old receipt
for cooking a hare, it was necessary
first to get the hare.

MUCH has been said pro and con of
the suggestion made by Judge Pinney
relative to the establishment of an in
termediate court. The main reason
given by that gentleman, on retiring
from the Supreme bench, for the above
mentioned court, was the excessive
amount of work which the present
regime imposed upon the Judges of the
Supreme Court. When the hOnOred
Judge retired he was no doubt broken
down in health and found the duties of
his Office too arduOus for his declining
strength. Under the circumstances it
is not altogether strange that he should
consider the responsibilities of the
Supreme Court so multitudinOus as to
render relief imperative. We do not
recollect that up to the time of his
withdrawal Judge Pinney ever men
toned the measure which he now
urges. Indeed, his judgment has I'M
doubtedly been influenced by his own
unfortunate physical condition. Should
the Supreme Court be interviewed or
the subject it would undoubtedly be
come clear that the members of that
august body are not going into pre-
mature decline under the enormous
burdens of their Office, nor in favor o
the proposed amendment to hepresen
judiciary system. 1t would be grea
and unnecessary expense to the State
and would involve tinkering and polit
ical jobbing which it is always desira
BILE to avoid. We would not question
Judge Pinney's motive in roposing thO
change, but it is not borne out by tn,
conditions. The Judges Of our Su
preme Court are not worked to dealt
nor so pressed with duties that any ar
left half done. There is no reason TO
complaint against the efficiency or SUI
ficiency of our Supreme bench, an'
until it becomes evident that such
the case a let alone policy is the prope
one.

BEFORE long the State Legislature

BEFORE long the State Legislature
will be in the throes of a Senatorial
contest of no small proportions. Be-
fore the conclusion prejudice and pas
sion will no doubt take their usual
part. Despite the fact that all of the
candidates are worthy and able gentle
men, of whom the Republican party is
equally proud, it is impossible in a
struggle of this kind to eliminate
personal feeling and local partiality.
When the backing of the respective
candidates comes into open conflict
bitterness is engendered which is not
conducive to calm, unimpassioned
dealing with the situation. Neverthe-
less the Legislature is carrying a
great responsibility and wherever it is
possible should avoid the influence of
purely local prejudice or partiality
with an eye only to securing the cleo
ton to the Senate of the United States
the man who is in every way best
qualified to participate in the duties
and deliberations of the most august
body in this republic. The ambition of
any city, county or district to elect a
Senator to the United States Senate
should not prevail in such contest as
this. However able all the gentlemen
concerned in the contest, they are not
on a par. There is one among them
superior to all the others in what goes
to make a Senat r. 1t is the duty and
should be the purpose of the Legisla
ture to elect that man. If they send
the wrong man to Washington, espec-
tally at a time of crisis, when the
country requires the services of her
very best sons, they, and not himself
nor the people are responsible for his
errors and what they may achieve.

FINED THE FIREMEN.
Annual Meeting Proves a Surprise to
Absentees.

Absentees.
The annual meeting of the Kenosha
Fire Department was held last night
in one of the rooms of the Masonic
Hall, and while it proved an interesting
one for those present it will prove more
interesting for those who were absent,
as the fremen decided to rigidly enforce
the old blue laws which provide that
ever ymember of the department who
is not present as the annual meeting
shall be fined ST.. Nearly half the
members were absent and the enforce
ment of che law will bring some $50
into the treasury of the department.
The friends of the absent members
made hard fight to save their friends
from the fine, but the majority thought
that this was the only way in which to
compel the attendance of members at
the annual meeting.
When the fine question had been
settled the department proceeded to
elect officers for the coming year as
follows:
President-John G. Slater.
Vice President-Chas. Fl. Goodman.
Secretary-L. S. Vinegar.
Treasurer-C. G. Brown.
Collector-Philip Harmon.
Chief of the Department. subject to
the approval of the City Council
James S. Barr.
A resolution was passed granting
the Chief the privilege of appointing
his own assistants.

SINCE William Jennings Bryan re-
CARDS expansion as menace to free
speech it isn't to be wondered at that
he is strongly opposed to the policy.
1t touches him very closely. He has
had an attack of military lockjaw and
has NO relish for a visit from it's kins-
man, imperial lockjaw."

RICHARD CROKER, Chief of Tam
many Hall and fugleman of New York
Democratic politics, has delivered his
ultimatum. He has given to the pub
lie his ideas of political issues, and thus
given the Democratic party fOrewarn-
ing, at least, of what will not be the
slogan of the army of voters under his
direction in the next Presidential cam
paign. Mr.. Croker has very positively
announced himself as an expansiOnist
and declared his belief that the free
silver issue is very dead one.
This declaration by the great New
York boss presents serious dilemma
to our Democratic friends. His an
nunciation is not merely the expression
of a single individual opinion, but is
rather statement of the principles
and policies which shall govern the
votes of the largest intra party
political organization in the United
States. For years, indeed almost as
| long as the Democratic party has been
in existence, Tammany Hall has been
| decisive factor in the affairs of that
party. Of late years its greatest vic
tories have been owing to the Tam
many vote manipulated by Richard
Croker. Consequently this startling
announcement cannot be received by
the Democratic party as isolated opin-
ion. It's significance is vast. 1t is a
reputation of both of the great Demo
cratic leaders, Cleveland and Bryan,
and has already worked confusion in
their respective wings. Without the
help of Tammany either would be
powerless. There can be no hope OF
alliance anywhere. There is not now
apparent single living issue on which
the contending, antagonistic fragments
of the once great Democratic party car
unite.
What is to be the result? AS to She
approaching election it is not difficult
to guess. That so successful Leader
as Croker, one so adept in taking thu
/ pulse of the people, should proclaim
sound money and expansion as thu
potent issues of the day is sufficient evi
dence of the turn affairs. will take il
} November, 1900. But beyond that lie
f the question, what will become OF thu
t Democratic party? A house divided
t against itself will fall. That party il
3 irretrievably divided. 1t is divided
and re divided until it has almost los
its identity. None of it's three hOstil
4 factions can unite with another on VI
8 to date issues. The only bond of unior
Q is the tariff whose reconciling power il
: fast waning and is always the subjec
q of circumstances. With Bryan, Cleve
9 land and Croker at war among them
+ selves, the Democratic party seem
: doomed to write the last pages of it
d history in factional strife unless som
s new and altogether unforeseen issu
r arises on which the factions may re
unite.

REPORTS from Russia say that the
naval dock yards are in fever OF
activity, not man has been with
drawn from the frontier, the ministers
of war and marine have been VISITING
all the important military and naval
stations urging an accelleration of che
preparations for defense. The report
further says that during the months of
October and November last the mum =
Der of men enrolled in the army
and navy was larger than ever and
that reinforcements are being sent to
the far east as fast as they can be
transported, and all the garlisions
along the Russio Turkish frontier are
being largely increased.
The man who is doing all this is the
man who not long since issued the dis
armament proposition. Actions speak
louder than words. If the Car would
have the world credit the sincerity Of
his proposal he should show a little
more disposition to practice his own
preaching.
