A GREAT SURPRISE,
Lester HoIderneSS Arrested in Racine
Last Night on Very
Serious Charge.
ENTERED A PLEA OF GUILTY.
Former Kenosha Young Man Charged OF
Taking Indecent Liberties With Five
Year old Charlotte Snyder.

A telephone message was received
from Racine this afternoon stating
that Lester Ho1derness, formerly one
of the best known young men of Keno
sha. had been arrested in Racine Fri
day evening on very serious charge.
The young man was arrested by the
chief of police, and is charged with
the serious crime of taking indecent
liberties with little girl by the name
of Charlotte Snyder, who is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph Snyder,
who reside near the drug store in
which the former Kenosha boy was
employed. The story of the arrest is
told as follows:
Shortly after 4 O'Clock Friday after
noon a telephone message was received
at the police Office stating that an Off
Ger was wanted at the Snyder home,
and the chief answered the call in per-
son. When he arrived at the house
Mrs. Snyder told the story .of the
trouble and the little child was taken
to the drug store and identified the
Kenosha boy as the man who had
AAOANANA
was at once placed under arrest and
taken to jail, where he spent the night.
At the time of the arrest Ho1derness
made complete denial of the terrible
story told by the little girl, but it is
stated that after the arrest he made
partial confession of his guilt. This
morning he was brought before Justice
Shields, in Racine, and waived exam
ination, and was bound over to the
municipal court where he will have a
hearing this afternoon.
It is to be hoped that he will be able
to prove himself innocent of the
charge against him, but the Racine
police declare that he will make plea
of guilty to, the charge and will re-
ceive heavy fine. The story of the
arrest when told in Kenosha this after
noon created quite a sensation, and
many of the friends of young Holder
ness seem to think that he is a victim
of circumstances.
Holderness was born and raised in
Kenosha, and has always borne a spot
less reputation. The family of the
young man have the sympathy of the
entire city, and it is yet to be hoped
that the young man may aquit himself
of the heinous charge brought against
him.
Ho1derness had been working at his
trade drug clerk in Racine for several
months, and was very popular among
the younger people of the Belle City.
In Racine the story has caused great
sensation.
LATER.-A later message from Ra-
cine states that Ho1derness was taken
before Judge Fleet this afternoon in
the Municipal court Of Racine and
plead guilty to the charge against him.
The judge gave the young man ter
rib1e lecture, and fined him 800 and.
the costs of the action, which must be
paid or the young man must spend six
months in jail. It is probable that the
fine will be paid.

been tried to lengthen the period Of their
beauty. One method Is to allow the
stems to stand in alcohol for ten minutes,
then to put them in gum water for one
or two minutes. After that they are to
be taken out and kept in the shade until
the gum water dries.
Materials with perforated designs of
lozenges, etc, are prepared for trimming
winter costumes and are to be used over
very light or white garments of taffeta,
satin or velvet.
The cut shows a gown Of an old blue

the waist and embroidered around the
foot with silk Of a deeper blue. The
wrinkled bodice of blue silk has draperies
Of embroidered voile in front and at the
back and a yoke of alternate bands of
plating and embroidery. A scarf Of
black mousseline de sole is fastened at
the shoulder and waist by black choux,
the long fringed ends hanging upon the
skirt, The sleeves of wolfe are embroid-
cred at the edge and terminate in large
puff Of voile, which is gathered into
black band. Frills of lace fall over the
band The collar is of black mousseline
de sole. The black velvet hat is trimmed
with a black plume, blue velvet and a

START WORK AGAIN.
Men are Digging More Trenches for the
New Street Railway Tracks.

The work on the street railway on
Milwaukee avenue is again being
''pushed to completion" and this
morning three men with as many
shove1s started in to bind down Mil
waukee avenue with bonds of steel.
Of course the limited supply of men
made the work go very slow but as the
company has absolutely no material
on the ground there is no reason to
hurry. One Of the officials was seen
this morning and sang the old song
about the large supply of materials on
the way and expected to reach here
Monday, Of course the company is
defying orders of courts in proceeding
with the work, but the people of the
city will be pleased to see the road
built at any time. The company have
given up all hope of completing the
road during the present year and the
first car has been put off many months.
If the company continues the work
in the manner it has been being
"pushed'' the line will probably be
extended to contested territory by the
spring of 1904.

all skirts is softness. No rigid lines are
allowed, and the ample circumference
trails upon the ground, even in the case
of tailor made gowns. This is, of course,
extremely inconvenient and has brought
about reaction in large American cities,
where women who have much walking to
do wear the short, rainy day skirt even
when the day is fair, reserving the long
skirt for less businesslike occasions.
Today's sketch illustrates a bolero Of
satin cloth. It is short and is cut in two
points in front, the edges being orna-
mented by braided pattern. The square
revers and the collar are Of panne. The
sleeves, decorated like the bolero, are
large at the base and are open at the
seam, with full undersleeves of nous

sole. Small gold buttons form the adj
ditional decoration, and the ribbon cravat
has gold ornaments at the ends.

The question of whether the United
States should be declined as singular
or plural noun is again brought to the
front by John W. Fosters recently
published volume, entitled ga Century
of American Diplomacy" in which the
phrase Omitted States" wherever used
Is referred to as if it were a noun in
the singular. 1t would seem that a
man of Mr.. Fosters erudition ought to
know that to make United States a
singular noun would require an amend
ment to the federal constitution, be-
cause wherever in that document the
term is followed by a verb that verb is
in the plural number.

OFFICIAL PAPER KENOSHA COUNTY
The Lake Mohonk Indian Conference.

The Lake MGhonk Indian Conference.
The Indian conference held recently
at Lake Mohonk is regarded as one Of
the best and most important Of the Is
that have been held there. This, says
The Outlook, was undoubtedly due in
part to the dignity and Importance add
ed by the combination of carefully pre-
pared papers with Ofhand discussion
and in part to the fact that the horizon
of the conference has been enlarged so
that it now includes other peoples and
races. Especially interesting was the
paper by General Whittlesey showing
the attitude Of the presidents of the
United States toward the Indian Ques
ton, though to the impatient refOrmer
it was rather trying to be reminded that
President MadisOns suggestion that
land should be given to the Indians in
severaIty had to wait from 1916 till the
passage of the Dawes bill for it's reali-
zation That substantial progress has
been made along desirable lines was
evident in the announcement that the
discussion of the Indian question was
to be with reference to the treatment
Of allotted Indians-a tacit acknOWl-
edgment that all the tribes would so
soon come into that category that it
was no longer necessary to talk about
the old blanket Indian of the reserva-
ton The duty Of the government was
clearly pointed out by the Hon. VIII
liam A. Jones, commissioner Of Indian
affairs. in a comprehensive report Of
the present status Of affairs. Others
who spoke from personal knowledge of
what should be done were Miss Alice
G. Fletcher, Miss Emily S. Cook, sew
eral missionaries from the field and
many other earnest and intelligent
friends of the Indian. The duties Of
the future include a revision of the
lease system which at present allows
absentee landowners to fall into vice
with the prOverbial ease of those who
have idle hands, a closer regulation of
marriage laws and trustworthy records
of marriages, births and deaths with
reference to the transmission Of lands
and the doing away with agents and
the relics of the reservation at once
where they are no longer necessary.

The United States consul at Auck-
land, New Zealand, with an eye to the
physical comforts Of mankind, calls at
tention to some vegetables grown in
the antipOdes which, he thinks, might
wisely be introduced into this country.
One of these is a species Of cabbage
which has the virtue Of f10urishing in
spite of long drOughts and resists the
attacks of the aphis, which in intensely
hot and dry weather are apt to riddle
other varieties of cabbage. 1t grows
and reproduces itself, he asserts, with
great profusion, and bed of it will
keep a family in vegetables through
the summer and autumn. mother
vegetable recently introduced into Aus
tralia from South Africa is the African
cucumber, the fruit of which is about
six inches long, of a bright orange col
or and is covered with spines. While
it is used for ornamental purposes, it's
flesh is soft and juicy, and it has fla
Yor quite similar to that Of a melon.
Still another relatively new vegetable
in New Zealand is the ''mongri," pod
ded radish, which has been introduced
from Java. This plant produces large
crops of long pods which are crisp and
tender and have not only delicious
flavor, but easily digestible qualities.
These pods are eaten both cooked and

DICTIOX
Because John Hunt Was Shot on
Government Property,

s. ". Bennett, the policeman who shot
John Hunt, a colored man, at the fed
eral building a few days ago, and was
arrested for the same, was yesterday re-
leased by Judge Kirk of the city court
and the case was dismissed. Judge Wall
appeared for Mr.. Bennett and raised the
point that the court had no Jurisdiction
over the case. for the reason that the
shooting of Hunt occurred on government
property. He said that when the legis-
lature coded that plat of ground to the
government for federal building the
only right the Safe claimed was that of
serving criminal and civil processes on
the property. 1t was proved that when
Hunt resisted the officer and broke away
from him, he ran up the steps. of the
building and jumped off. The officer then
fred at the mans feet and shot him
through the leg. wounding him so that
the leg had to be amDutated. Hunt fell
at the southwest corner of the building
on the ground used as a grass plot, and
therefore the matter viii have to be TAX
en- up in the federal court if it is ever
prosecuted at all. When Mr.. Wall read
the law pertaining to the case and fur
nished his references, the county attor-
ney asquiesced in the opinion Of Judge
Kirk and agreed to the dismissal Of the
