WANTS HIS WEDDING FEE
Rev. Harry Thompson Causes
Sensation at Kenosha.
GROOMS FORGOT TO PAY
Minister Sent Bill Which Made the
Young Men Indignant-Wil
Fight Case.

Kenosha, Wis, Feb. 2.-[Special. j
Matthew'S Episcopal church in this city,
announced last evening, to two newspa-
per men that he would in the near future
bring a suit against two well-known
young men of the city to collect fees due
him for performing the ceremonies at
their weddings. The suits have not as
yet been filed, but the minister says that
they will be in the next few days.
The announcement of the minister Gre
ated great deal Of fun in the city as
the men who are likely to be the defend
ants in the suits, are among the best
known men in the city and are well con-
nected with high society Of Kenosha.
The suit will be the result of con-
troversy between the minister and the
men. The weddings occurred some time
ago and were both social events. One
of them was celebrated in the church
During the rush at the wedding both men
forgot to hand the minister the usual fee.
Mr.. Thompson waited a reasonable time
for the boys to pay up, but when pay
ment failed he sent them a little re-
minder in the. way of bill. At this the
men became indignant and refused to pay
the BILL
since LnaC Time worry controversy
has been on between the minister and the
men and the contest for the fees has been
the talk of the town.
Rev. Mr.. Thompson stated, in connec-
ton with the case, that he did not care
for the money concerned in the transac-
ton, but that he would bring the suit in
order to establish precedent for the
benefit of other ministers in Wisconsin.
The young men are treating the matter
as huge joke and both have declared
their intention of fighting the case in the
courts. Both are connected with wealthy
parents and it is expected that the suit
will be the most unique fight ever seen

Unfavorab1e Symptoms.
Dr. E. e. Hume came from Gov. Goe-
bells room few minutes before 8 o'clock
and reported the condition of the patient
as little worse than at o'clock. He
said that nausea had set in once more
and that the hiccoughs, which had been
severe at times yesterday. had reap
peared, though they were not so violent
as at the time OF their first appearance.
The recurrence Of hiccoughs. the doc
tor said, was not a favorable symptom.
He had hopes that they arose from an
irritated condition of the stomach in
which case they were less dangerous than
if coming from the chest. The general
condition Of the patient the doctor de-
scribed as being still one of extreme dam
ger with chances in favor of death.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Gov. Goebel
suffered from a severe sinking SPELL and
grew worse SO rapidly that for time
it was thought the end was not far off
Stimulants were hastily administered,
but the patient responded slowly and
his condition at this hour is considered
rather alarming.

ance on Gov. Goebel and made the fol-
lowing statement in regard to the wound

II am sorry to say Gov. Goebel is de-
cidedly worse. He is very restless and
apparently losing strength. He had been
troubled more or less with nausea and
hiccoughing all morning and it had been
found necessary to administer hypoder-
mic injections of morphine and atrophine

one can tell how long his strength will
hold out in his present condition The
morning the governor was shot he was
sick to his stomach at the hotel and
went to the statehouse without break
