WOMEN OPPOSE WOMEN.

"Why Is it that women are practical

a quarter of a century's experience.
The question was put to several ladies'
in the treasury department. Before
any one of them had time to reply the
questioner proceeded to answer his
own interrogatory.

members of their own SEX" he said.
Some time ago Il lady in one division

that she would have been made chief
of that division, but rs soon as her
prospects became known her fellow
clerks of the same sex became indig-

clared that they could never work un-
der her; that they would a thousand
times rather have man than woman
to boss them. They wouldn't allow
her to lord it over them

cases. Women can be depended upon

audience of lady clerks had an opportu-
nifty to reply to his assertions.-Wash-

who Stunned the terrors of the social
problem as they would shun con.

This fact was impressed upon the
bishop and the settlement workers in a

STRUCK BY A STONE.
Breakman on Northwestern Badly Injured
Last Thursday.

1t is reported that one of the crew of
Northwestern train was badly in
jured last Thursday by being hit by a
stone thrown by some unknown per-
son after the train had passed the sta
ton at Pleasant Prairie. The injured
man is ,ow in hospital in Milwau-
kee, and it is reported that his injuries
are very serious.
The story goes that the brakeman
was sitting on the car when the rock
struck him on the head. He started to
fall but another of the crew on the
train, who was sitting near him,
caught him in his arms and carried
him to the caboose. The train was
stopped, but no trace of the man who
threw the stone could be found. The
brakeman was brought to this city and
the wound was dressed. :! Later he was
sent to a hospital in Milwaukee.
DFor several days the story has been
kept quiet, as the detective of the com
pany have been at work on the case
attempting to discover the identity of
the man or boy who threw the stone.
The name of the injured brakeman
has not been given out by the COM
pany, but he is said to be a resident f

R. B. TOWSLEE DEAD.
Early Pioneer Settler of KenOsha
Passed Away Monday Afternoon
at His Home on South Street.
HAD BEEN I'LL MANY YEARS.
Came TO Kenosha i'll August, 1889. and
Always Took an Important Part in It's
Histor7-Was a Grain Merchant.

Death has claimed another of the
early pioneer settlers of Kenosha, for
shortly after one O'Clock Monday after
noon the grim reaper closed the eyes
of Royal B. Towslee in an eternal
sleep. For three or four days
Mr.. Towslee had been steadily grow
ing weaker, and Monday afternoon he
sank quietly to rest at his home on
South street.
The deceased was IS years of age.
He had been an invalid for many
years, and for the past year he had
been confined to his home.
The death of Royal B. Tows1ee
marks the close of life closely con-
nected with the development of the
best interests of Kenosha city and
county. He was born in Vermont,
May %, 1915. He came west in 1889,
arriving in Southport on August 9th,
1889.
After arriving in Kenosha he took
an active interest in the merchanti1e
life of the city. For many years he
was a merchant, and later he went
into the grain and lumber business,
which he continued until 1857.
He was engaged in shipping grain
until 1868, when he built a boat and
carried on the business until late in
the seventies. During later years Mr..
Tows1ee had been hopeless invalid,
but he always bore his suffering with
fortitude. The widow survives. The
many friends of the deceased extend
the deepest heartfelt sympathy to the
widow and surviving relatives.
We are advised by friend of Mr..
Tows1ee's that his life deserves more
than a passing notice. Some of his
early associates yet remain who would
gladly bear witness to his strict integ-
rity, while remembering his manly
ways and kindly deeds. Those also
who have known him best during his
years of trial and decline have seen
unaffected a calm abiding patience,
equa11ed only by the faithful, se1f-sac-
rificing ministries of his devoted wife.
The funeral was held at 4 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon from the family
residence on South street. The services
were conducted by the Rev. Maryon,
rector at Kemper Hall. The remains
were inferred at the city cemetery.

RINGHOLD DISCHARGED.
No Evidence Was Found Against Alleged
Train Wrecker.

John Ringho1d, who was arrested
last week on charge Of attempting to
wreck a train on the Northwestern
road at Butchers crossing, south of
the city, was before Justice McCarron
today for preliminary hearing, and
at the request of the district attorney
the case was dismissed and the defend
ant discharged. There was no evil
dence of any weight against the man
and his attorney, c.. r. Mcdowell, had
managed to secure proof of an alibi.
Attorney Mcdowell, in speaking of
the case, said that it might have been
that ties were placed on the track, but
the story of the passenger train episode
must have been terribly stretched.
The ties were placed on the east track
and trains coming from Chicago use
the west one.
The railway detectives have about
given up work on the case and seem to
be arriving at the opinion that the
whole story:was fake or that the facts
were greatly stretched when told to
the local police.
The city officials expected the release
of Ringho1d and will make no further
attempts to locate the guilty parties as
the whole matter has been turned over
to the railway company.

KEN0sHA DEFEATS RACINE.
Crack Team From the Belle City Fails Be-
fore the Ball Players of Kenosha.

Kenosha has again taken her place
at the head of the base ball teams of
Southern Wisconsin, for on Sunday
afternoon the Kenosha Athletics met
ard vanquished the strong team from
Racine. The Racine team came down
to the city confident of victory, but
when the Kenosha s1uggers knocked
their two crack pitchers out of the box
in seven innings they returned to Ra-
cine looking more like thirty cents
than anything else.
The game was played at the Golf
grounds and was witnessed by large
crowd of people. Racine never looked
like serious proposition to the Keno
sha boys and from the first it was an
acknowledged fact that the home team
had ound an easy mark. Harkin aud
Me- nzie, who occupied the points for
the Kenosha team, did splendid work
and held the Racine batters down to
eight hits. On the other hand the Ke-
nosha players batted the Racine
pitcher all over the field and secured
twenty-six hits in seven innings.
The final score of the game was %
to IS in favor of the Kenosha team.
A return match will be played at Ra-
cine on next Sunday afternoon.
The line up of the teams was as fol-
lows.

Hans Anderson Doubts the Integrity of
Chris Jensen and Fined ST. and Costs.
Hans Anderson, a Danish resident,
called Chris Jensen, a police court
lawyer, a liar and as he added a number
of fri1ls which seemed necessary to
express the degree in which the lawyer
had erred from the truth the lawyer had
him arrested on the ground Of using
abusive language. Anderson was
brought before Justice McCarron this
afternoon and admitted that he called
the lawyer a - liar and was fined 81
and costs.
In explaining his guilt Anderson
said that he based his statement in re-
gard to the veracity of Jensen on the
fact that recently Jensen had told him
that he had been in the war with Spain
and fought with Dewey at Manila Bay.
He further stated that he had been
offered the position Of engineer of the
Wisconsin ship. Of course this state
ment ought to have Modified the guilt
of the defendant, but the Justice was
hard hearted and Anderson was forced
to pay $500.

to pay 81. go,

Sunday was Danish day at Central
park, the occasion being the holding
of picnic by the DANA society of this
city. The weather was ideal, and
great crowds of the Danes and their
friends from all parts of southern
Wisconsin came. In the afternoon it
was estimated that fully one thousand
people had entered the park.
The day was spent in the grove, no
program having been arranged for the
occasion. A basket dinner was served
at noon, and in the afternoon games of
all sorts and a dance in the pavilion
made the time pass all too rapidly. In
the evening the picnic closed with
grand dance. The picnic was the
most successful event of the season at
Central Park.
