GEO. R. PECK'S MISTAKES.
Enumerates Some of Them In a Let
ter to Friend.

A Topeka friend of George r. Peck
recently wrote him reminding him that
he had failed to visit Kansas this year
Peck was told that the state was wear
ing its best suit of clothes, and was
altogether lovely, and therefore, he
ought to shake off business and come
out and visit his old friends. Peck
reply is characteristic. He said:
I know it is a mistake not to visit
Kansas this year; it was a mistake not
to stay there; it will be a mistake if
l do not go back there and lay my
bones in her soil, but one can not al
ways do what he would wish. 1 hope to
get out there in October. All reports

MISSING GIRL FOUND.

Helen Kriz, who Disappeared from her
Home in Racine, is Found in Kenosha.
Sunday was record breaking day
for the police of Kenosha and, while all
the arrests made we're we'll worthy of
notice, one case deserves especial
credit. About three weeks ago Miss
Helen Kriz disappeared from her home
in Racine. The girl is about Is years
Of age and her parents we're unable to
find any trace of her whatever. After
she had been gone for over a week
detectives were employ cd to search for
her, but they were not able to find even
the slightest clue to ber whereabouts
Descriptions of her we're sent to all the
cities of the state and yesterday the
was seen in this city. She was at
once spotted by one of the policemen
and he being certain that she was the
girl desired watched3 her closely and
finally arrested her and took her to the
county Jail. AS the sheriff was not
able to care for her she was taken to
the Commercial hotel and locked up
until this morning, when she was turned
over to her father and taken back to
her home in Racine. The girl is beau
titul and very.intelligent. When asked
why she left home she refused to make
any reply. She also refused to give
any account of herself during the time
which she has,. been. missing. 1t is
reported that she hes been in the city
several days.gand had been living a
reckless life.
The meeting between the father and
daughter was pathetic one and the
girl said she was perfectly willing to
return home if her parents would re-
ceive her. The reconciliation OF the
two was complete and they left for
home together on the noon train.

ARRESTED FOR LARCENY.
sanitariun Robber is Brought to Speedy
Jrgsice by omcer o'Hare.

Jrssice by ofacer o'Hare.
Robert Mayeski, young man for
merly employed at the Sanitarium as a
bell boy, vas arrested Sunday evening
by Officer O'Hare on a charge of grand
larceny. The case and the attendant
circumstances makes it very sensa-
tional one.
Mayeski resigned his position at the
Sanitarium last Saturday evening and,
according to the story of the police, Oh
Sunday afternoon the young man
entered the room of Miss Marion Brun-
nell, one of the guests of the hotel, and
carried off jewelry to the amount OF
over $l00 The previous good record
of the young man was such that the
officials at the Sanitarium refused to
accuse him of the burglary until late
Sunday evening when the case was
reported to tho police.
The police at once started ouC to
find Mayeski, and it was soon discov-
cred that the young fellow had shipped
all his effects to Chicago and was evil
IDENTIFY preparing to follow them as
soon as possible. The city was
searched but no trace of him was found
until after six O'Clock, when he was
found and placed under arrest.
Atfirst Mayeski denied all knowledge
of the robbery, but when he arrived at
the police station search revealed the
fact that he had the stolen jewelry on
his person. When he was caught in
this manner he broke down completely
and admitted his guilt. He was sent
to Jail and this morning was given a
preliminary hearing before Justice
Slater. He waived examination and
was bound over to the Circuit Court on
charge of grand larceny.
The young man had been employed
at the Sanitarium for about two months
and was regarded as an excellent
young man. When he was arrested
his friends insisted that some mistake
had been made and that it was i'm
possible for the man to be guilty of the
crime Of which he was charged. He
came tcthis city from Chicago and be-
fore he was employed at the Sanitarium
held a position of trust with the Mont
gomery Ward Co. He is still in jail
and his bond was fixed by the Justice
at $500. When seen today he refused
to say anything at allin regard to the
crime of which he is charged.

HARRISON rs ELECTED.
william Rouse Harrison Is Elected Second
Lieutenant By Company L.


Company L had a very interesting
drill last evening and at the close of
the drill the company proceeded 60 the
election of second lieutenant to take
the place made vacant by the resig-
nation of Fl. M. Thomas, who was
chosen for the position when the
company was first organized. There
were three candidates, but William
Rouse Harrison was the favorite, and
received double the votes given the
other candidates.
The new second lieutenant has been
member of the company since its
organization and.has always been very
Jealous in advancing the interests of
the company and the men in it. He
was elected first sergeant some time
ago and has made splendid officer.
His rigid discipline is not always a
favorite with thesboys, but it has been
great factor INFRINGING the company
up to the high:position which it enjoys.
AS military man noneE of the members
have. had more experience than Lieut..
Harrison. Before he came to this city
he was a member of thelFirst Regiment
of the Illinoisi National Guard and as a
member of the organization be took
part in the riots at Pullman several
years ago and won his title as a soldier
of the first rank.
The choice of the company is GER
tainly wise one and the elevation of
Sergeant Harrison to the position of
third officer Of the company insures the
best of futures for the company. The
list of honorary members of the COM
pany is now being made up.and will be
voted on at the next meeting.

NO ACTION TAKEN IN TIE HEARING
ON THE STREET R. r. SUITS.
COMPANY ASK FOR A DELAY.
Attorneys Miller and Quarles Stipulate
That the Matter Shall be Laid
over neutrality-suspicious.
Party may Call It Up.

The hearing on the motion for trial
by jury of the facts in the case of the
Milwaukee Light, Heat and Traction
Company vs.. Gus Jacob City Clerk of
the City of Kenosha, which was tohave
been heard in Racine this morning, did
not come up, and there is a strong
probability that it will never come to
the notice of the courts, as the com
pany seem to be very slow in seeking
any hearing in the matter. All the
Kenosha attorneys went to Racine this
morning for the purpose of pushing the
matter to a speedy finish, but when
when the time came for hearing it
was agreed by stipulation among the
attorneys interested that the hearing
should be indefinitely postponed. It
was further stipulated that the matter
may be called up at any time by either
of the parties to the action upon proper
notice to the other attorneys interested.
Attorney Bohmrich was ready to
proceed with the hearing on the motion
but letter was received from Mr.
Quarles in which he stated that he and
Mr.. Miller, the attorney for the COM
pany, had held conference and that
the latter had asked that the matter
be indefinitely postponed in order that
the company might have chance to
attempt to make some compromise
with the city officials by which they
might facilitate the work of the COM
pany in securing right of way through
the city.
It is understood that by this indein-
tie postponement of the hearing of the
case the company surrenders none of
the rights claimed by the franchise,
but they are not ready at the present
time to take the matter into court.
Mr.. Fisher, one of the Kenosha attor-
neys interested in the case, was seen
shortly after his return from Racine
this afternoon and stated that it was
his opinion that the company would
never bring the matter to trial. He
said that there was no reason why the
city should hurry the matter, as the
delay was not in any way a cost to the
city and the company alone desires a
speedy settlement.
It is not probable that the matter
will be heard of in the courts again and
the fight will stand as a complete
victory for the city. It is understood
that conference between the city
officials and the managers of the rail-
way will be held during the week, at
vhich time the company will present
an entirely new proposition to the city.

Friends of Charley Dodge ask That he be

A petition was forwarded to the
superintendent of the State Reforma-
tory at Green Bay this morning asking
that Charles Dodge, the colored boy
who was recently sent to the Reforma-
tory from this city, be released. The
petition states that the boy was the
main support of his mother, and that
he is greatly needed at home. 1t was
signed by all the members of the bar
in the city, and also by Judge Slosson,
who sentenced him, and by Mayor Jas.
German. The request of the mother
should be granted, and the boy re
leased on his parole.
The circumstances of the trial and
conviction of young Dodge are very
patent to the people of this city, and

CAUGHT AT LAST.
J. w Rose is Arrested for Keeping p Dis
orderly House at the Commercial.

James W. Rose, proprietor of the
Commercial Hotel, was arrested this
afternoon by Officer O'Hare, on a
charge of keeping a disorderly house.
The complaint was made by Venel
Kriz, of Racine, who claimed that his
daughter Helen Kriz, girl II years Of
age, had been an inmate of the house
and had been allowed by the proprietor
to use the hotel as resort for improper
relations with men. The girl, who is
the complaining witness, Is not known
about the town, but it is reported that
she had been connected with certain
houses of i'll fame in Chicago and
Milwaukee. She left these houses
about week ago and since that time
she has been carrying on her business
at the Commercial hotel.
Rose was brought before Justice
Slater this afternoon and plead not
guilty TO the charge. The case was
continued for ten days, and the defend
ant was released on a $500 bond which
was signed by several we'll known men
of the city.
The police have been investigating
the Rose place for some time, and while
they have felt assured that the place
was not run within the bounds of the
law they have not been able to get any
evidence against Rose which would
warrant bis arrest until today. There
is no doubt but that the case will be
pushed, and the council will be asked
to revoke the saloon license now held
by the defendant.
Every good citizen of Kenosha viii
be glad to see this place closed. The
owner of the house will also take some
move in the matter, and if the city re-
fuses to act he will cancel the lease
now held by Rose.
The police deserve great credit for
their work in finding some one who
would assist in closing this den OF
iniquity.

Well Known Sculptor Makes Visit to
This City and Displays His Art.
The greatest novelty in the way of
an advertisement ever seen in this city
is the feature of the week at The Fair.
The novelty is sculptor who works
entirely in soap and he can be seen at
any time working away at the pretty
soap figures in the window at the Fair.
The sculptor is G.. F. BeltoWski and he
has made an international reputation
for himself not only on account of his
work as soap artist but also on
account of his fine work in claymodel-
ing, Great crowds gathered in front
of the window last evening and watched
the sculptor as he was working on
copy of the famous statue of the Goddess
of Liberty. He also made a number of
statues of local celebrities including the
statue of Mayor James German. He
will remain throughout the next few
days and it is assured that he will have
large following of Kenosha people
who admire the wonderful in the real
of art. Of course the soap is as good
as the work of the sculptor and it is on
sale in the store.
