This is all the more wonderful when it

such as irregular action and the failure

the one from which I suffered the

Sarah Roberts Released.

Sarah Roberts, the mysterious
woman who has been confined in the
county Jail for the past three weeks on
a charge of shop1ifting, has been re-
leased, she having been able to find a
friend who was willing to put up $50
cash to insure her appearance for trial
at the coming term of court. She was
released last evening and left the city
at once. The officials seem to think
that this will be the last seen of Sarah
in Kenosha and hold that she is a mem

GETS SACK HER LAURBLS.
Kenosha is Again Beginning to be a Cen
ter for Chicago Wedding Couples.


There is no use attempting to deny
the fact that the city of Kenosha is
rapidly beginning to regain her repu-
tation as Mecca for Chicago wedding
parties. It is not an open secret, but
somehow everything tends to show
that prosperity in the marriage bust
ness is again looking toward Keno
sha. The justices offices are begin
ming to be tidied up. The long, black
coats of the ministers, with their Sc
we're velvet collars have been taken to
the tailor shops, and in fact everything
shows that the business IS increasing.
Gay and bashfu1 couples are again
seen wandering about the side streets
hand in hand, and the hackmen are
again picking up the long sought for
quarters and dollars from the supposed
1y happy pair.
In Judge S1osson's court the rush
order is getting to be one of the much
needed blanks, and the Chicago people
planning matrimony may feel assured
that they can still be married in Keno
sha without publicity. Although the
orders are issued daily the contents of
them never reach the news papers,
for Judge S1osson is as silent as a
tomb when it comes to talking of the
marriage business.
Kenosha is making no bid, nor ad-
vertising her claims as a marriage
center, but if there is any one in the
country from Maine to California, who
desires to wed and have the job done
with ueatness and despatch, without
any publicity, we would suggest
that they take the rush method in Ke-
nosha.
