About two O'Clock yesterday af-
ternoon G. r. Hainline, a ranch
man living about four miles east
of town. discovered that his hay
stacks were on fire. The flames
rapidly spread to the stables and
in short time it was necessary to
direct all attention to the house in
order to save it. The stables,
twenty-five tons of alfalfa and nine
head of hogs were burned. The
loss aggregates about s40o. The
origin of the fire is unknown. but
Mr.. Hainline is of the opinion that
some one lighted his pipe while
near the stacks and carelessly threw
the match down with the above
result.

If the future of the prize ring de-
ponds upon those who would begin the
campaign against it Eby abo1ishing
foot ball the prospects of the ring are
exceedingly bright. The prize fight
fourished with all it's brutality before
the modern football game was even
an idea. It was first come and should
be first served. Having abolished the
prize fight there might be some hope
of eliminating thosesEe1ements from
foot bali which those pugi1istica11y in
c1ined occasionally introduce, but the
man who thinks that the great college
sport is near enough of kin to that of
which Sharkey and Jefries are expon-
ents to necessitate similar treatment
has about as good a conception of the
nature of the two as Bushman has of
the zodiac.

GAVE A STAG PARTY.
Friends of Allie Sharpe Assist Him to
Celebrate His Birthday.

Allie Sharpe, the we'll known printer,
reached his ma ority Tuesday, and his
friends thought that it was an excel
lent chance for them to give him a
surprise. Accordingly, after supper a
large number of his friends gathered
at the residence of his sister, Mrs.
VIM. G. Smith, on South Chicago
street, and when Allie came home after
turn with the boys down town, he
was completely unnerved by the re-
ception which awaited him. AS soon
as he managed to find his bearings
again ''Buck" proved to be splendid
host, and showed the fellows a run for
their money.
Of course the affair was a stag
party, and as such it was pronounced
success. The members of the Nonpa-
rei1 Club, of which Mr.. Sharpe is one
of the ruling lights, were out in force
and this secured the jo11ity of the even
ing. The hours were spent very pleas
ant1y by the young gentlemen. The
customary conversation and music
with various specia1ties by the boys,
made the evening pass all too quickly.
At the close of the evening Mrs.
Sharpe, mother of the host, and Mrs.
Smith, took hand in the festivities
and invited the boys into the dining
room where a sun1ptuous supper was
served

UNLESS the elections in certain dis
tricts pass over much more peacefully
than indications lead one to expect it
is to be feared that many of those who
have been so loud in their protests
against forcing our form of govern
ment upon an unwilling people will
prove their inconsistency by seeking
to intimidate or even compel their
fellow mensinto voting contrary to
their Judgement and inc1inations.

HISTORY CLUB MEETS.
Teachers Have Very Interesting Time
Discussing the Crusade Period

The teachers History club of the
city schools held an interesting meet
ing Tuesday evening at the home of
Miss Anna Kroncke. Following the
program as arranged for the year the
teachers are still engaged in the study
of French history.
Last night the particular subject was
the Period of the Crusades. This
fascinating time in the history of the
French nation was discussed in a very
enjoyable manner. The papers were
preparation for the Crusades'', by
Miss Miller; "The First sCrusade'', by
Miss Northway; "The Free Cities, by
Miss Eva Riley, and the last topic was
''A1bigenses'', which was discussed by
Miss Rowe. A general discussion
followed the presentation of the papers.

The Koran In Kenosha.

There is disquieting news from ke-
nosha. According5sto rumors that
thrifty and, erstwhi1e we'll behaved
suburb is threatened with an epidemic
of Mohammedanism. A sect known as
Truth Knowers', are said to hold the
tenets of the prophet.
What might result if MOhammedan-
ism were to gain a footho1d in Keno
sha it is awful to contemplate. Keno
sha is so close. Possibly we can stand
a little of that sort of thing in the Su1u
islands, if we have to and we may even
be able to endure a session of congress
with a Mormon in it, but the idea of
po1ygamy at ourback gate, so to speak,
is distressing.
Who would care to face a large and
determined ,Kenosha juramentado,
dressed in his, white robe de mutt, arm
ed with a casesknife, and sworn before
a Wisconsin muezzin or cadi or a not
airy public or something to die killing
Christians? That is what people some
times have to face in Jo1o. What
better can be expected of Kenosha if it
is suddenly to let go it's hold on Ameri-
can civilization uand go over to the
prophets law?
Before Mohammedanisn1i gets be-
yond control, andsKenosha people take
to running amuck to- show their hatred
of the infdel dogs about them, some
thing ought to be done to hold the
thing in check. The churches might
send missionaries into Wisconsin, and
perhaps if the presidents attention
were called to the smatter he would
dispatch a commissioner to make
treaty of peace with the reigning sui
tan.-Chicago Journal.

A CLEVER CATCH.
W. L. Mckee Placed in Jail by Local
Authorities for Securing Money
Under False PretenCes.
WORKED A SMOOTH SCHEME.

Filled Orders for Maps Which had Been
Taken by other Statesmen and Secures
Quite a Little MoneY-was Wanted at
Portage and Will be Taken There This
Evening Refuses to Talk and Claims to
be an Ohio Lawyer.
Chief of Police O'Hare and officer
Newhouse made a clever arrest this
morning, when they arrested w. l..
Mckee, who is wanted at Portage,
Wis, on a charge of obtaining money
under false pretences. If the opinions
of the local officers prove correct they
have made a valuable catch in the
person of Mckee and it is reported that
he is one of the men who have for some
time been working one of the smooth
est schemes on record.
Mckee struck Kenosha last Friday.
He at once began his work as sales
man for the Cramm map published
in Chicago. The map was all right,
and the price was all that could be
asked, and no one who purchased the
maps will lose anything. But the men
who are alleged to be the losers in the
case are the Tunison Map Co., of FL
gin, Ill.
A few months ago that company
sent solicitors to this city and took
orders for large number of maps of
Wisconsin to be delivered by the first
of November. In some manner the
list became public and large number
of statesmen flooded the territory and
began the delivery of a Cramm map
instead of the Tunison design.
The man arrested this morning was
we'll aware of the fact that the Tuni-
son company had sent out letters ask
ing for his arrest but seems to fear
none of the consequences of the action.
He was delivering a map yesterday
when he was shown one of the CirCu-
lars of the E1gin company asking for
his arrest and he took the matter very
coo11y. He said that he was one of
the men who was being searched for
and Furthermore said that he had
placed large number of maps with
subscribers to the E1gin agents.
He defended the action on the ground
that he was giving the people better
map and that he was not selling his
map by any Misrepresentation. Last
evening the police received notice
from Portage, Wis, to look out for
Mckee. They had little trouble in
finding him, and when they accosted
him on Main street this morning he
made no opposition to the arrest. He
refused to say anything in regard to
the affair, but stated that he was will
ing to accompany any officer to Por-
tage. He has none of the appearances
of a swind1er and stated that he was
well known in the business world and
did not in any way fear the outcome of
the arrest, as there were no grounds
on which he could be held, The att
thotities at Portage were notified of
the arrest and Sheriff Smith will be
here this evening to take the prisoner
to that city.

In an editorial under the caption,
"Who Began It?'' the Milwaukee SEN
tine1 makes what might appear to the
unsophisticated as an unanswera bic
REPUTATION of the charges of the anti
expansionists against the adninistra-
ton. But it makes one malicious
b1under. It. seeks to vindicate the
honor and mitigate the atrocious con-
duct of this country on the ground of
the report of the Philippine Commits
sion. Now who would for a minute
accept the statement of this Commits
sion when contradictory to the u1ti-
matum of the corner grocery Nestor
who followed the course of events
closely in the columns of his favorite
yellow journal? How could these
minions of a degenerate govern
ment, these alleged Commissioners,
situated so close to the actual seat of
war that they must of necessity look
cross eyed at it, acquire information
so accurate in details, so untainted
by prejudice and SO free from ''rot'
as was available to the profess
siOna1 party bucker through the me-
dunn of the partisan penny extra? OF
course if we should accept the re-
port of the Commission as the truth,
there would be no further question
but does it appeal to the reason of any
sane man that the alleged report is a
reliable source of information, and not
a mere bundle of rubbish picked up or
manufactured betimes by a set of ig-
norant party huskero, like Prof. Schur-
man, who would be so much more like
1y to spend their time dreaming of the
long green and flirting with the dusky
beauties than giving calm study to
the questions at stake.

Now THAT we have forbidden coc1

Now THAT we have forbidden cock
fghting in the Philippines it is our
duty to substitute some other sport as
a national amusement in our newly
acquired possessions. Let us COM
mend to the notice of our subjects the
manly sport of prize-fghting with all
its civi1izing influences. Kinctoscopic
pictures of the Jeffries- Sharkey con-
test might be forwarded to the islands
and an exhibition given to the natives
so that they might see with what mild
and gent1eman1y amusements their
benevolent assimi1ators while away
the. idle hours, and might reconcile
themselves, through the substitution of
the ennob1ing prfze-ring, to their loss
of the brutaizing cock-pits.
