BURGLARS BREAK INTO JOHN E
KEATING'S PLACE.
SAID TO HAVE SECURED $3.50
Broke in the Side Door Shortly After
Midnight and Carried Out a Bag of
Money and Wine and Cigars over
looked the Money Drawer

Burglars are abroad in Kenosha
again and seem to be plying their
business in a profitable manner and
without police interference.
To the long list of robberies and
burglaries recently reported in this
city another was added early this
morning, when some party or parties
broke into the saloon of John E. Keat-
ing on Main street. The burglary was
committed between midnight and one
o'clock, and there is no doubt but that
the men received sufficient money to
! pay them well for their trouble. The
amount the burglars secured cannot be
exactly ascertained, as Mr.. Heating
could not be seen. 1t is, however re-
ported that the marauders got away
with over 5000. At the saloon this
morning the bartender said he could
not say how much money had been
taken, but said he thought it was small
and probably not over $50.
The robbery was evidently the work
of home talent and well planned and
admirably executed. A man was in
the saloon until midnight and when he
returned at l o'clock the work had
been done. The burglars forced their
way into the saloon by breaking the
frame and lock on the side door. Once
in the building they soon secured their
booty. The money which was taken,
was in bag in a drawer behind tie
bar and the men had evidently known
where it was, as nothing else was
taken besides number of bottles of
wine and several boxes of cheap cigars.
In their rush to complete the job and
get away they overlooked $75, which
was in the cash drawer.
The case was at once reported to the
police, but they claim to have no clue
to the perpetrators of the crime.
Several suspicious characters were seen
lounging around the saloon during the
evening, but there seems to be little or
no evidence to connect them with the
crime.
The merchants and business men
have taken the rObberies recently com
mitted seriously and there is consider
able complaint that the police have not
been able to arrest a single one of the
perpetrators of these crimes.

DEFEAT THE AUSTIN HIGH SCHOOL
ON THE INDOOR FIELD.
GAME PROVES VERY EXCITING
And the Athletics Secure a Victory by
the Narrow Margin of one Run-Mc-
C1ellan Breaks All Records-Home
Team Weak at the Bat

The Kenosha Athletics indoor team
won the fourth successive victory of
the season Friday night by defeating
the team of the Austin, ILL.,, high
school by score of to 5.
The close score is no Indication of
the ability of the two teams, as the
home team was far superior to their
opponents, but the boys went into the
game satisfied that they could easily
win out and for this reason they failed
to play the game the team is capable of
playing. The crowd in attendance
was small, but they made up for the
small number by the enthusiastic way
in which they rooted and assisted the
Athletics in pulling out what looked
like dangerous game.
The home team played splendid
game in the field and but one error
was chalked up against any one ex-
cept catcher Harkin, and those who
saw the speedy way in which Nc
Clellan pitched the ball can easily eX-
cuse the famous catcher for dropping
one now ana CQ6U.
Mcclellan was not in the same class
with his opponent, Cutting, and
eclipsed all his former records by
striking out twenty seven men in nine
innings. In the fifth inning but nine
balls passed between the pitcher and
catcher, and in the sixth inning two
errors by the catcher allowed five
strike outs to be placed to the Keno
sha pitchers credit.
On the other hand Cutting, pitcher
for the Austin team, struck out twelve
men, but only allowed the home play
ers five hits, three of which were scored
to Cooper and one each for Mckenzie
and Cantwell.
The home players were unable to hit
the ball and indeedit seemed that their
efforts along this line were very feeble.
They considered the game cinch and
depended On luck to win it. They
seemed to be content with a small lead
as long as their opponents were kept
from scoring. Nearly every inning
men got on bases, but they managed
to score only in the first, fourth, sixth
and seventh innings.
In the seventh inning, after one man
had been retired, the visitors managed
to make four runs on two errors behind
the bat, and two hits by Biggs and
Weber, the latter being the only long
hit of the game. This left the Chicago
boys one run ahead and made it look
as if the home team would have hard
fight to win, but in the next inning
they made two runs and put the score
out of danger
The game proved an interesting one
for the spectators, but the continual
disputes and wrangles marred the
beauty of the contest.
The line up of the two teams was as

RHEUMATISM
A FAD IN RACINE.
Racine's Smart Set are Largely Believers
in Christian Science


Racine, Wis, Jan. 6.-This morn
ing Rasmus Jensen, a believer in Chris
tian Science, died here after an illness
Of a month. He was treated by healers
of his faith until yesterday, when friends
who had no confidence in the belief
concluded to send for DR.. Garlock.
The doctor found Jensen in great pain
and nearing death. He prescribed to
relieve the pain, but didn't,know what
his ailment was.
Today, when an application was
made to him to sign a burial permit,
he refused. Coroner Stripple then
took hold of the case and an investiga-
ton is going on this afternoon. DR..
Mead, the healer, has been summoned
and he will be asked his authority to
practice in the state of Wisconsin.
Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the case, as it is the first here
in the history of the organization.
Nearly the whole of Racine's 400 are
said to be believers and it has become
quite fad among the smart set.-Mil-
yankee Journal.

WOMEN IN POLITICS.
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS IN FEMIN-
me LIFE DISCUSSED.
MRS. E. BARNES READS PAPER
she Reads an Interesting Paper on
'"rhe Legitimate influence of Women in
Politics and Reform. Discussion
Led by Mrs. Frank Blackmao.

Women in Politics was the subjec
which was discussed in the regular
meeting of Kenosha Woman's club hello
Wednesday afternoon and the subject
furnished one of the most interesting
meetings ever held by the club.
The political status of women, ever
popular subject became more interest
ing when discussed in the lnnermosl
council of the women themselves and
the different opinions registered on the
topic were as various almost as there
were members of the club present.
The principal paper of the day was
read by Mrs. Ellen NJ. Barnes on the
subject of the Legitimate Influence
of Women in Politics and Reform. "
The life of the essayist has been almost
entirely given up to the work of women
and she was we'll prepared to speak on
the subject from standpoint of one
who knows. The paper was more on the
influence of women in reform and in
Mrs. Barnes the club found great
exponent of the WOman's Christian
Temperance Union and the valiant
work done by these ladies in securing
legislation against the liquor traffic
and in favor of social purity. The
speaker traced the influence of women
in the legislatures and in the halls of
congress and showed how great their
work had been in securing legislation
for the advancement of rights of
women and the defense of the home.
One of the features of the paper was
a series OF opinions on the subject of
women in politics from the rOstrum,
the pulpit and the bar, represented by
H. W. Marden, Rev. [. W. Corey, Fl. S.
Roblee and A. E. Buckmaster. All
these men thought that woman had
great influence in politics, but seemed
to favor the silent influence rather than
the out spoken advocacy of wOmans'
rights.
The discussion of the paper was as
interesting as the paper itself, and all
the ladies seemed to be ready to give
their opinion on the subject.
The discussion was led by Mrs.
Frank Blackmon, and the consensus OF
opinion was that wOman's sphere was
one beyond the political world. Her
gentle touch and becoming modesty
were for the home rather than for the
public. Women, said one OF the ladies,
have too many prejudices to be consis-
tent where political questions are
involved. Woman has a right to gov
ern the home, and through her govern
mert in the home she must make her
influence felt in betterment of politics
of the city, state and nation.
The influence Of woman is valuable
onlv as man looks to her as the expon-
ent of finer civilization and purer
life, and to drag such an influence into
the political arena would not refine
politics but would degrade our women.
Her legitimate influence is the influence
on the voter in the home, and through
the voter on the political history of the
nation.
The next meeting of the club will
be held on January Is, when Mrs. w.
Fl. McDoel will read a paper on the
subject of the French Renaissance. "
