The attorneys argued the matter and
the state took the position that since
Judge Shinn had heard the arguments

marked in this case, exhibit z, she had

deved that her life would be Of short

that the objection to the admission
Of the statement for the reason
that It was not shown that she
deciarant made the statement that she
had given up all hope Of recovery in
view Of impending death, is overruled.
There are some things that come up IN
this connection and this is that the tes-
dmony that she was not shown the last
seven lines. The testimony OF witnesses
know this not and it seems strange to
me that since the declarant was able to
write that the statements made by here
were not preserved. This matter has
not yet been explained and perhaps is not
explainable There are some Things not
admissible and they are as follows:
II, Clara Castle, having lost all hope OF
recovery and believing that my life is
Of short duration, and that my death is
pending and very near, and thus being In
the presence Of death, make the follow
ing statement and declare it TO be the
truth"

Jessie at first denied all that told
her but finding that it was Of no use she

Judge Shinn stated that if he was to de-

dition Of the mind Of the declarant. In
order to allow attorneys to get authori-

at 11:90 until 1870.
The question was whether the Witnesses

a reporter for the Eagle yesterday that
they had witnesses to prove that Jessie

WHEN JESSIE TEsTIFTEs.

The very fact that Jessie Morrison is
to be put on the witness stand has cre-
ated much conjecture as to what she
will say regarding her relations with
OIn Castle, whether she was engaged to
him or not
1t was thought that Jessie Morrison
would be put on the stand, but no one
in FL Dorado outside Of the case knew
definitely about the matter.
Attorney Kramer said to a reporter FOR
the Eagle: I'VE did not make up our
minds to put the defendant on the wit
ness stand until today. We do not know
Just when she VIII testify, but presume
that it viii be the latter part Of the
trial This is the first time that we have
made the movement that We would put
her on the stand"
People in FL Dorado want to know
what Jessie Morrison VIII say. All in
terest is now conferred on her testimony.
Since the disclosing Of the dying state
ment Of Clara Wiley Castle, there is
nothing to come between this and the
verdict Of the jury, than the testimony
which the little prisoner will give when
put on the stand.
The examination OF the defendant for
the state viii be conducted by Captain
Joe Waters. This was definitely decided
upon at the last conference Of the states
attorneys
1t has not yet been decided who VIII
take charge of the defendant while on
the stand for the defense.
A number of things are already antici-
mated REGARDING her testimony 1t is
thought that she viii tell all about the
neckde episode, the letter writing and
where that mirror came from which
Olin Castle was asked if he had given
her.

HUNTERS IN PERIL.
William CantweI and Frank Melon
Had An Exciting Time While
Duck Hunting.
THE SMALL BOAT WAS CAPSIZED.
Both Men Were Thrown Into the Water
and Forced to wade Quarter of Mile
to Shore-Gun and Game Lost.

William Cantwel1, of this city, and
Frank Melon, of Chicago, had quite an
experience Sunday afternoon while
shooting ducks on the Desplaines river
and it was by the greatest miracle that
the two men escaped with their lives.
They had been hunting ducks in the
marshes in the western end of the
county and came to point where the
river had overlooked it's banks and had
formed IL lake about mile in length.
They secured a boat and rowed out to
the middle, where they observed a
flock of ducks. For a while all went
well and the boat was well laden with
the coveted. game. But IN the excite
ment of shooting, Melon placed his
weight on one side and with the next
vol1ey the boat was capsized and the
men thrown into the water. The boat,
which was very heavy, filled with the
water and at once sank to the bottom,
leaving sthe' men Laundering in the
lake full quarter of mile from shore.
Cantwe11 'at once realized the peril of
che position and started to make his

the depth of the water, attempted to
swim the distance, but his limbs were
almost frozen and he was forced to
give up and allowed himself to be
rescued by the Kenosha man. Can't
we'll managed to save his gun, but the
one owned by Melon went to the bottom
with the capsized boat.
All about the scene of the accident
the water was covered with floating
ducks which had been killed by the
men. Once out of the water they were
forced to face proposition of walking
a mile and a half to the nearest farm
house, in order to allow their clothes to
dry. The wintry air soon caused the
clothes to freeze and the men were in
pretty plight when they finally
reached the shelter of the farm house.
Both of them returned to Kenosha late
in the evening and neither expect to
suffer any serious trouble from their
ducking.
1t was, however, a very narrow es-
cape. Cantwe11 stated this morning
that he didn't care so much for the
ducking if he had only been able to
save the large number of ducks shot
during the afternoon

PHI PSI HOUSE BURNS
KenOsha Members OF Phi Kappa Psi
at Madison Lose Property in
a Fire Sunday Evening.
CHESTER BARNES LOSES HEAVILY
c. C. Allen Fred Petit aud will Eaton OF
This City, Also Among Losers-Fire
Caused by Explosion of Lamp,

The beautiful residence of Wisconsin
Alpha of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity
which is located at Madison, was gut
ted by fire Sunday night, and as a re-
suit number of Kenosha boys who
are memb of the fraternity are
figuring up losses today. The fire re-
suited from the explosion of a student
lamp in one of the rooms on the
ground floor of the building and be-
fore the flames could be extinguished
the interior of the house had been
badly damaged.
The loss from the fire cannot be
placed at a money figure, as among
the furnishings of the house were
priceless trifles that had been gathered
during the history of the fraternity.
Many of these things had been the
gifts of friends of the fraternity in
Kenosha. Among the boys who were
living at the frat house at the time
of the fire were Chester Barnes, Ches-
ter Allen ard Fred Petit. The dis
patches state that Chester Barnes lost
everything that he had with the ex-
ception of the clothes that he was
wearing, but no report is made of the
losses of the other boys. The Kenosha
boys had furnished their rooms in
magnificent manner and the pictures
and college trophies which were hung
on the walls were worth several hun
dred dollars. Will Eaton, another
member of the fraternity re-
siding in Kenosha, also had quite
little property stored in the house and
it is feared that this was also de-
stroyed. The house was the property
of Tommy Morgan, one of the mem
bers of the fraternity, and his loss is
fully covered by insurance.
The house will be rebuilt at once,
but it will be necessary for the Phi
Psi boys to find temporary home
while the house is repaired. 1t is re-
ported that the furnishings of the
house were partially covered by in
surance, but the loss to the boys will
be considerable.
A telephone message was received
by Mrs. Barnes, mother of Chester
Barnes, this afternoon, stating that
the fire had originated in his room.
His loss will be in the neighborhood
of $3.50, but he will be partially re-im-

KENOsHA BOY A LEADER.
H M. Foote. Formerly of This County is
Organizing an Agricultural Combine.

Fl. M. Foote. Formerly of This County is
Organizing an Agricultural Combine.
Former Kenosha county boys are
taking an important part in the big
schemes which are being started in
southwestern Texas, and a recent issue
of the Hopkins County Echo tells of
the success of H. M. FOote, a former
Kenosha county boy, who is now MAX
ing his home in Texas. Seven years
ago he removed from this county to
Texas and purchased a small farm.
He began the work of raising early
vegetables for the northern markets
and later he interested his friends in
the venture.
The success of the plan was so great
that the former Kenoshan is now or
ganizing an agricultural association
among the farmers to supply Pittsburg,
Pa, with early fruits and vegetables.
The profits from this industry during
the last year to Hopkins county farm
ers amounted to over 10000. The
Kenosha man is also planning to start
a canning plant in connection with his
fruit and truck farm.

A RETURN ENGAGEMENT.
Counting at Greens" Will be Seen Here
Again Monday Evening.

Mr.. David Higgins and Miss Georgia
Waldron, who presented the most re-
fined ruralscomedy which it has been
the pleasure of our theatre goers to
witness in years, have been prevailed
upon by Mr.. Rhode to repeat the pro-
duction' next Monday night, for the
benefit of those who do not care to at
tend the theatre on Sunday evenings.
The play is an unusually good one
original and of intense dramatic inter-
est. The company presenting it is
particularly strong in every character,
as will be testified to by every one who
had the good fortune to see the play
last Sunday evening.
Seats were placed on sale today.

HAD SKATES ON.
Kenosha Aldermen Visit Racine and Enjoy
the Delights of Roller Skates.

the Delights of Roller Skates.
Yesterday morning several of Keno
sha's city fathers decided to visit Ra-
cine and inspect the condition of the
streets in this city, and also to enjoy a
days outing. There were in the crowd
Aldermen Smith, Pirsch, Gruenwald,
Weier, Sch1enker, Caster and Elk
Alderman Boerner.
When they arrived in Racine they
made a thorough inspection of Main
and Sixth streets paving, and stated
that they were pleased that the Street
Railway company did not have car
tracks in Kenosha and tear up the
pavement whenever they wished.
In the afternoon the aldermen visit
ed the Auditorium and enjoyed them
selves on roller skates. Some were
fairly good skaters, while others fur
nished amusement for many spectators.
The Kenosha aldermen are anxious to
have another bowling contest with the
Racine aldermen, but it is doubtful if
the Racines will play, as Kenosha has
defeated them twice.-Racine News.

YOU HAD BETTER GO
Counting at Green's" Again Next Mon
day Evening.

Not one dissenting word to the gen
era1 verdict that David Higgins and
Georgia Wa1dron in their new play,
Counting at Green's" have scored
heavily. It is bright, rural COM
edy drama, and the enthusiasm dis
played by the large audience at the
"Rhode'' last Sunday evening would
seem to warrant that the play has I'M
usual merit
The scene is laid in the Adirondack
mountains, and every part in the play
is we'll handled, and the staging is
ample and appropriate.
Special scenery and New York
company of seventeen people present
this new and charming drama, which
will see its second presentation in this
city at the Rhode opera house on next

Andrew Simmonson, of Racine, who
is a we11-known Democratic politician,
played the part of host at a banquet
given on Monday evening to a num-
Der of politicians from Kenosha, at
the E1ks hall.
Before the election Mr.. Simmonson
was strong supporter of the princi-
pies of Democracy, and in his travels
about the state he happened to fall in
with Johnson Jackson of this city.
The two men discussed politics, and
the result was that a bet was regis
tered on the election. The bet was a
dinner to the friends of the loser. Of
course, Mr.. Simmonson lost, and he
paid the bet in royal manner.
The Kenosha men who took part in
the meeting around the festa1 board
were: Johnson Jackson, James Cava-
nagh, Fred Gottfre6sen, C. E. Remer,
]. Keck Wheeler and Richard We11es.
The dinner was very elaborate affai
and, according to reports, was one of
the SWEETEST events ever given in Ra-
cine.
After the dinner was over the men
spent several hours telling stories, re-
turning to Kenosha early this morn
ing.
The Dickens Club will. meet with
Mrs. Peter Fisher Friday afternoon.

Japan Not Yet at War.

Yokohama, Japan, via Victoria, March
l9.-The persistence with which the west
ern press clings to the imminence of war
between Russia and Japan is attracting
much attention here. Thus far there has
seemed to be no foundation whatsoever
for the rumor. The fact which now i'm
presses the public is the arrival of repre-
sentatives of some of the prominent New
York papers, they having been sent for
the express purpose of being upon the
spot when the outbreak comes. This, to-
gether with the activity prevailing in the
Russian squadron in eastern waters, as
sembling in force as it is in the Korean
straits, and the reports constantly coming
in of extraordinary doings at Port Arthur,
has at last forced the conviction that
where there is SO much smoke there must
be some fire, and the people and press
are correspondingly on the qui vive. In
official circles, however, the utmost calm
is manifest while everybody is wondering
what it all means.

urday and the clubs were similarly dec

in honor of st. Patrick.
In the churches the preachers referred
to the occasion, thanking Providence tina
the English had learned to love and re
spect their Irish fellows, just as if they
never knew them or respected them be
fore. The lord chief justice, Lord Russell
set the example in the law courts and al
the judges followed his example of wearing
the shamrock below their ermine collars
The theaters were all prepared to marx
the day in the same way tonight.
On the stock exchange great enthusi
asm was shown in celebrating the day
The shamrock was everywhere and Their,
was more toasting of healths than work
AS a result prices were better, though
nobody knows why.
